Sometimes a change to your appearance can be a catalyst for bigger changes in your life.  Get a haircut. Sometimes a new cut and color, especially if it's drastically different from what you've had before, can be just the ticket to elevate your mood and get you out of a rut. Just be sure you talk with your stylist first to ensure that the look will be flattering on you-- you don't want to end up with a cut you don’t love. Studies show that our hair has a profound effect on our self-esteem and mood.  Get a tattoo. More permanent than a haircut, a tattoo can be a fun way to document your values, friendships, or milestones. Be sure you consider carefully what you want and shop around for the best artist. If you and your significant other don't have a date night at all, set aside time each week (or at least each month) to be together doing things you love; it can help strengthen your relationship. If you do have a regular date night but it has become a predictable routine (dinner and a movie, anyone?), add some variety to your time together so that your relationship does not start to feel predictable and boring.  Think of date night as a chance to reconnect and get to know more about each other. Even if you've been together for years, seeing each other in new settings and trying new things can be a fun way to get to know parts of each other you haven't seen before. Do something outside your normal routine; consider taking dancing lessons, going rock climbing, taking a couples' painting class, or taking cooking lessons. For a cheaper alternative to art and cooking lessons, improvise at home: buy a nice bottle of wine and a few canvases and paints at your local hobby store, then shop the ingredients for a fancy gourmet meal (the internet is full of great recipes). Add some romantic music and your evening is set! Sometimes we get into a rut with our existing friendships and forget how to make new ones. Studies show the more relationships you have with people you care about and who care about you, the less likely you...

TL;DR in English: Make personal changes. Make adjustments to date night. Add some spontaneity to your friendships. Think about changes to your work routine. Change up your routine.

Instead of water, drink milk! The fat and oil in dairy products will lessen the burn by dissolving the capsaicin.  Grab a cup of whole milk, and down it all. Make sure you rinse your mouth well first. As another option, you could choose a dairy product like full-fat sour cream or yogurt. Milk works almost like a soap by dissolving the capsaicin and reducing the burning sensation in your mouth. There's a protein found in milk called casein that acts like a detergent against capsaicin. The burning sensation in chili peppers comes from capsaicinoids, which are a family of molecules.  Ice cream can also help. Anything with dairy in it could help ease the burning sensation you’re experiencing. Coconut milk works very well to cut the burn and modulate the heat level of a spicy recipe. Believe it or not, but the heat is not going to go away if you drink water. In fact, it will actually spread the capsaicin around your mouth and make the burning feel worse.  Soda is largely made of water and also won’t work. Drinking coffee will make it worse, because of the heat in the coffee. Capsaicin has oil-like qualities, which is why it repels water.  The burning sensation in your mouth from chili peppers probably won’t last as long as it does on your hands. It’s caused when the capsaicin bonds with the mouth’s pain receptors due to a chemical reaction. The nerve cells notice when the temperature in your mouth gets above 108 degrees Fahrenheit, which capsaicin tricks the neurons into reacting to. Beer won’t work as well because it’s largely water, but some harder alcohols will remove the burning sensation from your mouth.  Take a few sips of vodka. In addition to reducing the burning sensation, it’s likely to make you feel pretty mellow as long as you don’t drink too much! Alcohol will cool the burning sensation you get from touching chili peppers too. Many different types of spirits will work. Always be cautious when drinking. Don't drink too much, don't drink if you're underage, and don't drink and drive. Ingesting olive oil...

TL;DR in English: Grab some cold dairy. Avoid drinking water to cool your mouth. Swig alcohol. Use other oils to cool the burn. Eat starches. Try folk remedies.

It is best if you major in history. But, if you don’t, then take as many history classes as you can. Vary your classes so that they cover a wide variety of topics and time periods. Take classes that require you to write substantial research papers.  Make sure to take a handful of your history classes with the same professors so that they will get to know you well and be able to write strong recommendation letters for you. On that note, it is also best to start taking history courses early in your undergraduate career. Don’t wait until junior year, if possible. Many Ph.D, programs also admit M.A. graduates as well. Whether at the undergraduate or M.A. level, try to publish prior to applying for a Ph.D. program. It may be difficult to find an publication venue, so encyclopedias are often a good option. Ask your professors for publication advice and assistance. You need to have a general idea of what areas of history intrigue you upon entering a Ph.D. program. Prior to applying reflect on what you enjoy learning about the most. Consider what types of historical questions intrigue you and which ones bore you. You also need to be very clear that history in general is the graduate subject for you. Don’t go overboard on specifics. While some people come in to graduate programs with a dissertation topic in hand, that is not necessary. You will spend a good deal of your first year exploring various topics in consultation with your advising professors. Take a moment to look online and you will discover that the job market for Ph.D.s in history is extraordinarily competitive. There are many Ph.D.s graduating and not many of them will land full-time tenure track positions. Be realistic about whether you would be okay taking an adjunct or part-time teaching position for a period of time. Start to think about other career options as well. With a history Ph.D. a wide variety of jobs beyond academia are available to you. Some use their writing skills in the private sector as editors. Others work in historic preservation....

The paring knife is probably the most difficult tool for this job, but it has its benefits. You don't have to clog your kitchen with a one-use tool, and a sharp knife makes clean, dry cuts compared to the wet, sticky clumps other methods can produce. Keep reading to learn the technique. After washing the lemon, cut off both ends where they begin to taper. Rest a cut surface flat on the cutting board. Cut off a strip of rind from the side of the lemon, right where it meets the white pith. It may be easiest to start near the center of the lemon, where it bulges outward. Hold the strip flat against the board with one hand, yellow side down. Press the knife blade flat on top of the strip, with the blade pointing away from your hand. Scrape the top of the strip at a slight angle, removing most of the white pith. All this means is "cut it into thin strips." To avoid poking your fingers, hold the lemon peel in place with your fingers curled down into a "claw" shape. In this position, your knuckles are closer to the blade than your fingertips. As long as you keep the sharp edge of the knife below the level of your knuckles, you are unlikely to hurt yourself even if the knife slips. Gather the thin strips in a tight row, than rotate them 90º. Cut the other way using the same technique as above. Try to make the zest pieces as small as possible.

TL;DR in English: Choose a sharp, small paring knife. Cut off both ends of a clean lemon. Slice off a thin strip of zest. Remove the white pith. Julienne the strip. Dice the peel.

The field of human rights can range from helping overturn wrongful convictions to helping women seek refuge from violence. Cast a wide net and gather the contact information for as many organizations as fit your interests. Using the information you gathered in law school and through online searches, create a list of law firms that practice in your specialty of human rights. This can range from organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center, to large international firms working on economic justice cases around the world. A great way to find out whether an organization is a good fit for you and build a network in human rights law is to conduct information interviews. Arrange to meet with people who work in human rights organizations, NGOs, or law firms. London is a center of the global human rights movement. Many companies, law firms, and non-governmental organizations have offices in and around London. There are opportunities for lawyers to practice American law while gathering the skills needed to qualify for admittance to the English courts. The career center of your law school may have assistance with resume writing. As a new graduate, you may not have a lot of professional experience. List all of your education, your student organizations, clinics, internships, and academic achievements. Many organizations have internship programs. Most are unpaid or low-paying. However, the experience and contacts can be invaluable. Internships with high profile organizations are very competitive and you should apply as early as possible. If you belong to a church, check for mission and internship opportunities with the church's charity or legal arm. Whether you land an internship or seek interim employment, begin searching for a permanent position. Most organizations and law firms have online application procedures.

If you have the budget, consider hiring an outside magician, balloon artist, or some other sort of entertainer. It will provide a break for you while giving the children something to focus on. If your party has a theme, an outside performer could also help reinforce the theme. If you don’t have the budget to hire a professional entertainer, turn to the internet for some quick and easy magic tricks! Some magic tricks that are easy to learn include Spoon Bending, The Banana Buster, and The Card Hotel.  Remember: magic is just as much about confidence as it is about anything else! If your child loves magic, consider buying special magic decks or other objects. These can help you create even more elaborate magic tricks. For younger children, consider learning a few easy balloon animal shapes. Fan favorites include the dog balloon animal, sword balloons, flower balloons, and balloon hats, not to mention a balloon snake! You don’t need to be an artist to face paint! Not only is face painting a great activity during the party, but it can also double as a “party favor” once the party is over. Your face painting techniques should adhere to your party theme and child’s age, but a few easy ones include tiger, dog, butterfly, and pirate. Keep in mind you’ll need to buy face painting paint, though those sets often include instructions. Try to teach a few adults to face paint, so you can paint more than one child’s face at a time! Also, make sure there is at least one adult supervising while you face paint. If you have the space and you’re planning an outdoor party, a bounce house or trampoline might be a great addition to your party! These structures usually come with their own set up and clean up, and they also provide the children with unlimited fun. If you do hire such a service, make sure you follow to all of their rules.

TL;DR in English: Hire professional entertainers. Learn some simple magic tricks. Make your own balloon animals. Teach yourself how to be a face painter. Hire a bounce house or trampoline.

Knowing the strength of the hydrogen peroxide solution will help you decide the best course of treatment, whether the burn affects the skin, eye, or digestive system. The container’s label will note its contents’ concentration.  Most household hydrogen peroxide solutions are about 3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water. These can cause minor irritation to the skin, eyes, or digestive system, stinging, and/or whitening of the skin, but can almost always be treated by simply flushing the area with cool water. Products that bleach hair can contain between 6 and 10% hydrogen peroxide, and can be more harmful than standard household solutions. Industrial solutions contain between 35 and 90% hydrogen peroxide. These can cause chemical burns that require immediate emergency care. You may notice blistering on the skin. Call emergency services immediately to treat exposures to industrial hydrogen peroxide. Free the burned or irritated area from contaminated clothing as soon as possible, especially when exposed to higher concentrations. Take off any clothes, jewelry, or other accessories that might have been splashed or soaked. Place the clothing in plastic bags if the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 10% or higher. Hold the affected area under cool running water to rinse away the solution and ease pain. Flushing under a faucet will effectively treat small patches of skin exposed to household concentrations. Take a cool shower to flush larger patches of contaminated skin or areas exposed to a higher concentration. Chemical burns that result from hydrogen peroxide exposure can be treated like thermal burns. Continue to flush with cool water until pain starts to subside, use a mild soap to gently wash the area, and apply an antibacterial ointment.  Avoid scrubbing or breaking any small blisters that develop. Consider applying an aloe vera gel to ease discomfort. Within a day of exposure, look for signs including worsening redness, irritation, and pus or discharge from the burn. Seek a follow-up examination if you...

TL;DR in English: Determine the product’s concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Remove any clothing soaked with hydrogen peroxide. Flush the area with cool water for at least 15 minutes. Wash the area gently and apply an ointment or gel. Contact a doctor if you experience unusual symptoms within 24 hours.

One of the first steps of your transition can be letting people know the gender you identify with. Pronouns are important because they let people know how you like to be referred to.  When you meet a new person, you can say, “Hi! I'm Taylor, and I'd love it if you could use he/him when you're referring to me.” You can gently correct people who use an incorrect program. Try saying, “Can you please either say he, him or just use my name? Thanks so much.” Everyone chooses to transition differently. Remember that you can make whatever choices you want. If you want to change your name, you can do so legally or just socially. You can start slowly by just asking friends and family to call you by your new name. You can say, “I know you know me as Sara, but I’m going by Sam now.” You can also further your transition by changing your appearance. You might want to try a short haircut, for instance. You can also start shopping in the men’s section for your clothing and shoes. You could try wearing something like jeans and a blazer when you go out for the evening. Remember, what's most important is that you feel comfortable.

Use a selective herbicide to kill weeds. Choose a non-selective herbicide to kill weeds. Use a pre-emergent weed killer after removing weeds.

Fill the baptistry with warm water ahead of time. Make sure the person wears appropriate clothing. Tell the person to keep calm and avoid struggling. Walk into the water.

Get a dandelion-specific herbicide from a local gardening or lawncare store. Read the label and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure that you apply the herbicide to the dandelions correctly. Every herbicide’s instructions are different, but in general, they will take a few days to begin killing the unwanted plants. Selective herbicides are designed to kill a single species of weed or plant while non-selective herbicides are designed to kill every major type of weed. A selective herbicide is usually less effective than a non-selective herbicide. But if you’re trying to grow any other plants in your yard, the non-selective herbicide can be a risky proposition. If you want to target other weeds in addition to the dandelions, opt for a non-selective herbicide. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to apply the herbicide to your lawn. Typically, it only takes non-selective herbicide 2-3 applications to completely kill weeds. Non-selective herbicide may damage other plants or flowers in your lawn. Pre-emergent weed killer prevents the germination of seeds that are already under the topsoil. Using a pre-emergent treatment will prevent any dandelion roots or seeds from growing or developing into mature plants. Get a pre-emergent treatment from a lawn care store and spay it over your lawn in the spring or after removing dandelion plants to keep them from coming back.

TL;DR in English: Use a selective herbicide to target dandelions specifically. Choose a non-selective herbicide to kill dandelions and other weeds. Use a pre-emergent weed killer after removing plants or in the spring.

A tool should have come with your oxygen tank that can fit over the top valve on the gas tank itself. Position the wrench over the valve and turn it counter clockwise to open up the airflow from the tank to the regulator. When you unscrew the valve on the top of the tank, you should see the needle move, signifying that there's air coming through your tank. You should also hear and feel oxygen coming through the tube that you connected to the regulator. Your doctor should have informed you of the number that you should keep your regulator at. Follow their instructions and adjust the level of oxygen by turning the dial on the side of the regulator up or down. On the dial, you should see numbers. Move the dial until the number lines up with what your doctor told you. Never change the level of oxygen unless instructed by your doctor. The cannula is the small tubing that fits inside of both your nostrils. Put the parts where the air is coming out into your nose and stick the rest of the tubing up and over your ears. This will keep it in place as you walk around. Sometimes your oxygen tank will come with a full oxygen mask. If you have a facemask, place the mask over your mouth and nose and put the straps on the mask behind your ears. Using the same cannula for over a month will make you more prone to infections. For the same reason, you should also change your cannula after you've been sick. Your tubing will also need to be replaced every 3-6 months. Turn the valve clockwise on the top of your tank to turn off the airflow. This will prevent you from wasting oxygen whenever the tank isn't in use. Consult with your doctor to determine how often you should be using it and when you should turn it off.

TL;DR in English: Unscrew the top valve one full turn. Watch the needle on the gauge go up. Adjust the level of oxygen coming through the tank. Insert the prongs on your cannula into your nostrils. Replace your nasal cannula every 2-4 weeks. Turn the tank off when you're not using it.

You’ll need to fill the baptistry early enough that it has time to fill, which could take 20-30 minutes. At the same time, don’t fill it so early that the water gets cold, unless the baptistry is equipped with a heater. Ignore this part if you are not using a baptistry. Baptisms can be performed in any standing body of water such as the ocean, a pool, or a river. Before you perform the baptism, check over the person’s clothes. Make sure white clothing is thick enough that it won’t become see through. If they are wearing anything loose, make sure it won’t float up and accidentally reveal something. Shorts are better to wear than pants, so they don’t retain as much water. Dark, tight-fitting clothing is often the best. Some churches have robes specifically designated for baptisms. Since the feeling of falling backwards may cause the person to tense up or fight against you, warn them of this possibility ahead of time. Tell them to relax as much as possible and remember that you will be supporting them. This is a good time to tell them about how you’ll lower them and then raise them back up. Tell them that you’ll need them to work with you as you raise them up out of the water. Get into the water first, and have the person who is being baptized follow you. Most of the time, you will stand facing the audience and the person being baptized will face sideways. Position yourself so your chest is next to their shoulder.  In some situations, the person being baptized may face the audience. You should still stand at their side, so you can properly support them.

Keep your forearms level with the keyboard. Maintain proper posture. Keep your hands and wrists in line with your forearms. Use tools that are the proper size for your hands. Consider using a vertical mouse. Consider getting a split keyboard.

Your taste buds only recognize five tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and savory ("Umami"). The rest is in the nose. If you can avoid smelling the food, you'll avoid a large part of the flavor. Pinch your nose as you eat or drink anything to neutralize a significant portion of the taste involved.  When the taste is truly to be avoided, take a sip of a drink before un-pinching your nose to avoid any taste left on the tongue. Slosh the liquid around your mouth for good measure. If you're eating in public or anywhere where you can't politely pinch your nose, exhale immediately before taking a bit/drink to avoid the taste. Be sure to take a small bite if doing this to avoid choking when trying to breathe again. Your taste is all about saliva. You taste different things depending on how that food reacts with the saliva in your mouth. Take a paper towel and complete dry out your mouth and tongue; this will eliminate nearly all of the taste. But remember, the saliva in your mouth is replenished every few seconds, so eat quickly after drying your mouth.  Cotton swabs such as Q-Tips are a discreet alternative to a paper towel, though you'll most likely need more than one. If you know just when you'll need to eat something unpleasant, try to refrain from having any water beforehand during the day. Drink caffeinated drinks like soda or coffee to dehydrate yourself; your mouth should be reasonably dry come time to eat. You might have noticed that any food might taste a little different depending on its temperature. Why is that? It's the same food, after all. The fact is that generally, cooling numbs your palate, toning down flavors. If you can drink a glass of cold water right before eating or drinking something unpleasant, you'll be better off. If you can chill the unpleasant food or drink, that's even better. For a more uncomfortable alternative (though preferable perhaps if you have teeth which are sensitive to cold), you can scald your tongue with a hot drink like tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. The heat will make...

TL;DR in English: Plug your nostrils. Dry out your mouth. Drink cold water. Drink a strong alcoholic drink.

When you do eat out, you should be careful about how you order. Try to visit restaurants that prepare their food fresh, instead of reheating frozen or premade foods. Small, local restaurants may be safer than large chains.  At chain restaurants, you may be able to check the ingredients of meals online before you go. This will let you check for additives. Restaurants that use local ingredients are less likely to cook foods with preservatives or dangerous additives. Ask your waiter and chef plenty of questions about the ingredients so that you know exactly what you are going to eat. Another way to help avoid and cut down on harmful food additives in your diet is by choosing 100% organic foods. This labeling can help you discern what foods have fewer additives.  If a food is labeled as 100% organic, it must comply with USDA standards and regulations. These include soil conditions, use of pesticides, animal raising standards and the use of additives.  For processed foods specifically, the organic labeling law does not allow those foods to contain artificial preservatives, colors and flavors. In addition, 100% organic processed foods must contain all organic ingredients as well.  If you want to continue enjoying some processed foods, consider purchasing an organic version. Still review the food label and ingredient list, but it should be much easier to find additive-free organic foods. One group of foods that are overly processed and contain many additives (including some of the harmful nitrates and nitrites) are processed meats. If you're looking avoid harmful additives, skip these types of protein.  Processed meats can include items like deli meat, bacon, sausage, canned meat, smoked meat, and hot dogs. These foods, in addition to having some harmful additives, are also higher in calories, fat, and sodium. Eating these on a regular basis or in large quantities has been linked to colorectal cancer and heart disease.  Instead of these processed items, choose leaner, less processed sources of protein. You can make...

TL;DR in English: Order carefully at restaurants. Go for 100% organic items. Avoid processed meats. Choose minimally processed grains.

Adjust your chair so that your forearms are level with your keyboard. You shouldn't have to hunch down or reach up to use your keyboard. This position is optimal for keeping your wrists in a neutral position. Sit up nice and tall instead of slouching. This will keep your body from feeling too much strain in any one area, including your wrists. Also, keep your work right out in front of you so you don't have to bend or twist to one side or another to reach it. This will also keep you from straining your wrists too much. If your forearms are level with your keyboard, then this should not be difficult. Using a mouse that is too large or too small can make you strain your wrists and use more force than necessary. A vertical mouse will keep your hand in the handshake position. If you use one of these, you'll never have to flex your wrist when clicking. It does take a little while to get used to the mouse, but once you do, you'll be glad you got one. Though they can be a little pricey ($70 or more, in some cases), they will be well worth it. The split keyboard is a keyboard that splits down the middle, allowing you to type with both hands in the handshake position. You can adjust the keyboard to split a little bit at first, moving it to split more drastically as you get used to it. You can plug it into your keyboard and rest it right over your original board. This will have a dramatic effect for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. These keyboards range from $30 to hundreds of dollars, and it's up to you to decide what kind works best for you. Don't splurge on an expensive split keyboard if you've never used one, though, or you may find that it's not for you.

If you are infected with a helminth parasite, you may see parts of the worm in your stool. Since many of the most common symptoms appear alongside other health conditions, too, you should also assess your risk factors when determining if parasites might be the root cause of your problems. These include abdominal pain, diarrhea,

Familiarize yourself with some common parasites. Know the symptoms. Understand the risk factors. Schedule an appointment with your doctor. Follow up with your doctor.

Canaries are active birds that enjoy flying around in their cages. If your canary has stopped flying or if they are spending long periods of time on their perch, you may want to take them to a vet. A sick canary may tuck their head under their wings or sleep near their food bowl. A healthy canary should be chirping or singing. A sick canary may be quiet, or they may make wheezing, sneezing, clicking, or coughing noises. Pay attention to their breathing as well. Rapid or labored breathing can be a sign of canary pox or the fungal infection Aspergillosis. Typically, canaries should eat between one and two teaspoons of seed or pellets a day. They should not need their water replaced more than once a day.  If you notice any changes in their appetite, the bird may be ill.  If you find their water dish empty or if they are drinking more than usual, they may be dehydrated. If your bird isn't eating their food, they may have lost their appetite. This is a common symptom of many illnesses. Canaries normally puff up their feathers when they are sleeping or if they are cold. If they are not sleeping, however, and they remain puffed up for long periods of time, it may mean that your canary is unwell. When you change the cage liner every day, check their droppings. Healthy droppings should have clear and watery urine, chalky white urates, and dark, solid feces. Any change in color or consistency means that something may be wrong.  Yellow or green coloration can be a symptom of liver disease. Red or black coloration can be a sign of internal bleeding. Loose or runny feces can indicate that your canary has diarrhea. Healthy droppings should not smell. If you notice a foul odor, it may mean that they have a parasite called giardia. You also might find some discharge and swelling around their nares. Discharge due to sneezing is often a clear sign that your canary has an illness.

TL;DR in English: Note any decrease in activity. Listen to the sounds that they make. Observe how much they eat and drink. Watch for puffed up feathers. Inspect their droppings. Check their cage for discharge due to sneezing.

Directors pay just as much attention to you off stage as they do on stage. Avoid talking to others and pay attention to other performers who are up on stage. Even if other performers sing other songs, watching them can help give you insight on how to perform better as a singer yourself! Don't forget to turn off - or silence - your phone. A director will not just analyze your singing ability during an audition; they will analyze who you are as a person. This may be a little intimidating, but standing up straight, planting your feet, and keeping your hands steady can be enough to display confidence.  If you are feeling really nervous, a deep breathing exercise before your performance can help ground you and relax your muscles. Another way to relax is by practicing mindfulness. Some nerves are a matter of thinking too much about what can and can't happen. Stopping to recognize and simplify the moment you're in can help calm your thoughts. Making one mistake in the middle of your song does not mean you lost your chance! In fact, showing you can recover from a mistake is a chance to show your professionalism as an actor.Don't look annoyed or complain if the pianist makes a mistake playing the notes of your song. Not only is this rude to the pianist, it signals to the director that you may be difficult to work with. Some musical auditions may require you to act out a scene. Auditions that do require acting may not tell you until you are on the spot, so it is better to mentally prepare for one rather than not.  Don't worry about stumbling over lines, especially if the musical is original and no one has seen the script before. Instead, focus on listening on what your scene partner is saying and understanding what the scene is about.  If the audition is for an original musical, try requesting a copy of the script from the theater hosting the musical (not the audition) in advance.

TL;DR in English: Act respectfully towards other performers before and after your performance. When singing on stage, display confident body language. Don't stop singing if you make a mistake. Expect an impromptu request to act out a scene during the audition.

There are various species of intestinal parasites, but only two main types: helminths and protozoa.  Helminths have many cells and are more commonly known as worms. Some of the most prevalent helminths are tapeworms, pinworms, and roundworms. Protozoa only have one cell, and unlike helminths, they can multiply inside the human body. The most common protozoa include giardia and cryptosporidium. The exact set of symptoms can vary depending on the parasite you have, and you may have a parasite inside you for years before any symptoms manifest.  Even so, there are some symptoms that the majority of infected people do experience. These include abdominal pain, diarrhea, dysentery, nausea, vomiting, bloating, itching around the rectum, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. When you're infected with a helminth parasite, you may see parts of the worm in your stool. Since many of the most common symptoms appear alongside other health conditions, too, you should also assess your risk factors when determining if parasites might be the root cause of your problems.  If you live in or visit an area known to have parasites, your risk of becoming infected will dramatically increase. This is especially true if you embark on international travel to countries with poor sanitation. Poor sanitation and poor hygiene, in general, are risk factors for developing parasites. Those with weaker immune systems are more likely to become infected. This includes children and the elderly, as well as anyone with a prior health condition that weakens the immune system, such as HIV. If you think you have an intestinal parasite, make an appointment with your health care provider regardless.  You must do this first, even if you wish to get rid of the parasite with home remedies. Your doctor will test for parasites using a standard set of tests.  Most typically, the doctor will wish to collect a stool sample for examination. When testing for pinworms, the doctor may press a piece of tape against the anus for examination with a microscope. If you...

Apply the spray to your socks, ankles and the cuffs of your pants every single day to prevent flea bites.  If you've treated your pet, the fleas will be killed on contact with its blood. However, you haven't been treated with flea preventative, so your blood will still make a tasty snack. Fleas only need a single blood meal to lay more eggs, so you want to deny them their food. After 30 days, you can probably stop worrying about applying the DEET mosquito repellent to your ankles. If you no longer see fleas jumping around, then you are definitely safe. However, if you still see visible fleas or have bites on your ankles, then continue spraying with mosquito spray. This cleaning should include carpeted surfaces as well as smooth surfaces.  Vacuum all carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Place one entire complete flea collar (chopped up) in the vacuum bag. Vacuuming not only sucks up fleas, eggs and larvae, but the vibrations from the vacuum cleaner also cause fleas to hatch from their cocoons. Since insecticides can't kill fleas in the pupa stage, getting as many of them to emerge as possible gives you a great chance of killing more fleas. Throw the vacuum bag away in an exterior garbage container after you're done. Follow this up with turning the vacuum over and spraying the roller head with a spray lysing agent Mop smooth floors. Use a cleaning agent like Pine-Sol or undiluted apple cider vinegar to cause the fleas to emerge from holes and cracks so that they are more exposed when you spray or fog your house. Read the instructions and make sure you have enough to completely bomb your entire square footage of every room. You need to make sure that the product kills flea eggs, so look for one of these active ingredients: methoprene, fenoxycarb or pyriproxyfen.  Spray your carpets, rugs, furniture, baseboards, along walls and on your pet's bedding. Make sure to follow the directions on the can. Don't miss door edges, corners, floors with cracks and underneath furniture and furniture cushions. Flea larvae love to hide...

TL;DR in English: Use mosquito spray containing DEET. Clean your floors thoroughly. Carefully use a flea control spray or fogger. Treat your yard if your pet spends more than five percent of its time outdoors. Spray your house again two weeks after the first treatment.

Neck tilts are a good way to start your neck stretching routine, as they will help to lengthen the larger muscles in your neck and relax your whole body. Lengthening and stretching the small muscles in your neck can also prevent tension headaches.  Sit in a comfortable cross-legged position on an exercise mat or a soft surface. You can use props like a yoga block or a pillow and sit on them to make the seated position more comfortable. Inhale and tilt your head to the right side. Extend and elongate your neck towards the space to your right, rather than try to bring your ear to your shoulder. You should feel a stretch on your left shoulder and the left side of your neck. Hold this position for three breaths. As you exhale, raise your neck and look forward. Then, inhale as you tilt your head to the left side. Hold this position for three breaths. You can repeat this exercise two to three times on each side. You can also add some resistance by placing your hand against your head and gently applying pressure to your head as you tilt your head to one side. If you are tilting your head to the right side, for example, you would use your left hand to apply light pressure on the left side of your head. Do not pull or tug on your neck and only apply light, gentle pressure on your head. Open up your neck muscles with simple but effective chin to chest stretches.  Sit in a comfortable cross legged position with any props like a pillow or a block to help tip your pelvis forward. Inhale and slowly lower your chin towards your chest. Imagine you are holding an egg between your chin and chest and you do not want to drop it. Hold this stretch for two to three breaths. You should feel your neck muscles and your shoulder muscles lengthening. Inhale as you lift your head and return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise two to three times, holding for two to three breathes at a time. This simple standing stretch will get your torso and arms moving and help to release any tension in your neck and shoulders.  Begin in a...

TL;DR in English: Start with seated neck tilts. Do chin to chest stretches. Try swinging arm stretch. Do a forward fold with a chest opening. Use a wall to do a standing neck stretch. Do cobra pose to stretch and strengthen your neck muscles. Try shoulder shrugs.

As you are writing each section of the manual, people using the manual will be trying to take in a lot of information. When you purposefully include blank spaces for writing notes, you encourage the users to jot down what they are learning. This will increase the amount of information that they retain. Notes sections would be good alongside most sections of text, but you could also make a separate notes section at the end of chapters and the end of the whole manual. This helps people avoid having separate notebooks that they might lose track of. Any time you can show the reader something visual, it can have an impact on how much they understand. You don't want to clutter your manual with too much, but use visuals if you can. You can have screenshots of steps in computer work. You can include charts of important data. Pictures of tools or machinery the person will use are good, too. There really is no limit to what types of visual aids you could include, so think about what you are training for and what would be most helpful for the user to see. For many manuals, you'll be detailing the steps of various processes, and checklists are a great way to sum things up. When a user needs to refer back to a section that includes specific steps, the checklist will refresh their memory and can be checked much more quickly than multiple paragraphs of text.  It might even be useful to make these pages easy to tear out so users could keep the checklist handy at later times when they are working on tasks. Checklists could include materials needed, sections for before, during, and after completing a task, or how to evaluate work once it is done. You want to ensure that users of your manual are learning as they go, so write up small tests of their knowledge. Include the answers in a separate spot so they can check how they did. You could have multiple choice questions, fill in the blank and matching, or scenarios for problem solving. These would be separate from any official testing you would have employees take after training...

Crush aluminum foil into homemade "dryer balls" in order to reduce static cling when you tumble-dry your clothes. Compress the foil into two or three balls, each about two inches in diameter. Make sure that each ball is tight and smoothly-pressed so that it won't snag on the garments in the dryer. This can be a cheap and chemical-free alternative to commercial dryer sheets.  You can continue to use the same dryer balls for months. When the balls start to come apart, replace them with freshly-crumpled foil. Be aware that the aluminum dryer ball will not soften your clothing like a commercial dryer sheet. Furthermore, it might make your dryer a bit noisier. Consider whether these downsides are worth the cost-effectiveness. A standard ironing board is designed to absorb heat and moisture. Aluminum foil will trap heat and moisture around your clothing, which should speed up the ironing process.  Be aware of the risks of trapping high heat and moisture: if you aren't careful, you will greatly increase the chance of burning yourself. Use this method to steam garments that aren't iron-safe. Lay the the clothing on the aluminum foil, and hold the iron 1-2 inches above the fabric. Continually press the "steam" button to quickly steam out the wrinkles. First, line the inside of a bowl with aluminum foil. Then, fill the foil with warm water; one tablespoon of salt; one tablespoon of baking soda; and one teaspoon of dish soap. Soak your tarnished metal items: jewelry, silverware, coins, etc. Let the mixture do its work for ten minutes. Then, remove the metal items and dry them off. Fold a piece of aluminum foil until it is five or six layers thick. Then, cut it repeatedly with a pair of dulled scissors. This should gently sharpen the blades and increase the lifespan of the tool. Before you move a piece of furniture, cut up pieces of aluminum foil. Slide the foil pieces beneath the legs with the dull side down. These foil patches should help the furniture slide smoothly across the floor. Use crumpled-up aluminum foil like...

Apprenticeship applicants in Kentucky must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma and pass a drug test. An apprenticeship is required to obtain an electrician license in Kentucky. An apprenticeship provides classroom instruction and paid on-the-job training for aspiring electricians. Most apprenticeship programs take 3 to 5 years to complete, and cost between $400 and $1,000 a year. Most apprentices are paid about 50 percent of the market rate during on-the-job training. Upon completion of an apprenticeship, students are qualified for both construction and maintenance electrical work. There are several options for apprenticeship programs in Kentucky.  Choose a union apprenticeship program. Electrical unions like the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) offer apprenticeship programs. Each union sponsors aspiring electricians through its apprenticeship program, and then requires membership in the union upon completion of the program. Each union provides career placement assistance and continuing education opportunities. Union apprenticeships are offered throughout Kentucky. Select a state sponsored apprenticeship. Kentucky offers several state sponsored apprenticeship opportunities. Often funded by workforce development initiatives, the state sponsored programs provide classroom and on-the-job training. Participation in a state sponsored program may require you to relocate to the apprenticeship site in Kentucky.  Candidates may apply for state sponsored apprenticeships in Kentucky through the Joint Apprentice Training Program, headquartered in Louisville. Consider an online electrician program. Online apprenticeship programs provide the opportunity for students to complete classroom training online. The online programs match students with local apprenticeship programs for on-the-job training. Ensure the online electrician program is accredited by the Kentucky...

As you continue playing, surviving becomes painful, and eating Cooked Morsel, Frog Legs, and Berries won't be enough. Food you gathered are also easily spoiled and with hardly enough good effect on health. You need a Crock Pot to have better food for health regeneration.  A Crock Pot is a contraption that lets you combine and cook four food items into a recipe. Craft it with 3 Cut Stones, 6 Charcoal, and 6 Twigs using the Alchemy Engine. Get Cut Stones from 3 Rocks using the Science Machine. Charcoal can be gathered from burnt trees. If there are no burnt trees around, look for a small patch of trees (preferably far from the thick forest), and torch them down. Twigs can be used as filler for some foods in the Crock Pot. There are lots of food you can whip up with your Crock Pot, and it's not really necessary to use 4 food items for a meal. For example, you only need Frog Legs and a Mushroom and 2 Twigs for a Froggle Bunwich. An Alchemy Engine is a craftable science structure that unlocks more crafting recipes to aid in your survival. With much more powerful weapons and tougher armor, you can withstand any Hound attack and increase your chances of survival, especially during harsh winters.  To create an Alchemy Engine, you need 6 Gold, 4 Boards, and 2 Cut Stones. With the Alchemy Engine, create an Ice Box where you can store your food, thereby reducing the spoilage rate by 50%. An Ice Box requires 2 Gold, 1 Board, and 1 Gear. You can gather Gear from clockwork monsters. Having a Farm is possible in the game. Weapons, armor, and other items can be crafted easily with the proper materials gathered around the world. A Farm, however, requires patience, and you need seeds to plant.  To have a really good and fast harvest, you need an Improved Farm, which can be crafted with 10 Cut Grass, 6 Manure, and 4 Rocks using the Alchemy Machine. Manure can be found and gathered by exploring a Beefalo Field when you chance upon one. Beefalo herds can be found in Savanna biomes and won't attack you unless provoked. You can...

Gossiping requires a fine balance. You don't want to seem like an enthusiastic gossiper, because you want to Try to maintain your relationship as someone who is trustworthy to speak to. But at the same time, you also want to spread it around, because, well, it's fun. So, you've got to be a good actor.  When you approach some gossipy territory in a conversation, start looking over your shoulder, as if you're worried someone will hear. Ask if the other person has heard the news first. If they haven't heard, make a worried face and wring your hands. Say, "Oh, well, I really shouldn't say. It isn't right to gossip." When you get ready, lean in close and start with, "Well, now, you didn't hear this from me..." Your audience will be locked in. When you have good gossip, you can't just tell everyone you know, unless you want it to blow back on you. Besides, you don't have to tell a lot of people, just a select few.  If your good friend told you something in confidence, don't tell all your other friends. Instead, tell someone at work. If someone at work did something super-embarrassing, don't tell all your coworkers, tell your friends. When and if the gossip does eventually get around, everyone will forget who they heard it from originally, most of the time, but you want to be sure to distance yourself from it as much as possible. Gossip shouldn't be something that you broadcast or speak about loudly, for everyone to hear. Make sure you take people aside, use very quiet voices, and don't let anyone you don't know hear what you're talking about. Even if you're spreading gossip, it's important to Try to limit it as much as possible. This goes for gossiping online, even more so. Private messages of gossip? Ok, maybe. Posting on your own, or someone else's board publicly? Just don't.

It may take you a few weeks of experimenting to find the ideal combination of techniques that work for you. If your back pain does not appear to get better, trying other strategies to relieve your back pain throughout the day may help.  Don’t try to lift objects that are too heavy. Lift from the knees, pull the stomach muscles in, and keep the head down and in line with a straight back. When lifting, keep objects close to the body. Do not twist when lifting.  Use a foam roller to help relieve muscle pain. These look like thick pool noodles. You lie on a flat surface and roll the foam roller beneath your back. Care must be taken when using a foam roller directly on the low back. Make sure you angle your body slightly to the side, which prevents a hyperextension of the low back. Over time, this can jam the joints and cause pain. Leaning slightly to the side can help reduce this discomfort and risk.  Set up an ergonomically correct workstation.  Make sure you have proper lumbar support while sitting. A chair with good lumbar support can help you avoid low back pain from prolonged sitting. Get up and stretch every hour or so. Acute back pain should improve on its own with proper self-care techniques. If your back pain does not improve after four weeks, you should see a doctor. You may have a more serious condition that requires additional treatment.  Common causes of lower back pain include arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and other nerve and muscular problems.  Appendicitis, kidney diseases, pelvic infections, and ovarian disorders may also cause pain in your lower back. Lower back pain is common, affecting around 84% of adults at some point in their lives. However, certain symptoms are signs of a more severe condition. If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek medical treatment right away:  Pain extending from your back down the leg Pain that gets worse when you bend over or bend your legs Pain that gets worse at night Fever with back pain Back pain with bladder or bowel trouble Back pain with...

Bacterial pharyngitis can be transmitted through droplets in the air or by touching surfaces that have also been touched by an infected person. Therefore, if you have bacterial pharyngitis, the best way to prevent others from catching it is to stay away from others as much as possible.  Take time off work if you are allowed sick days. Cancel social commitments with others to avoid spreading your illness. Washing your hands frequently (and thoroughly) will also help to prevent others from catching it. Wash for at least 30 seconds with soap and warm water. Another option is to carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you for use throughout the day. Finally, to prevent transmission of your bacterial pharyngitis to others, refrain from sharing objects whenever possible. Also clean any shared surfaces, such as doorknobs, kitchen appliances, TV remotes, and phones, after use.

The number one way to get natural back-links is to create useful content. People will do your linking work for you if your content is useful or interesting to them. Creating good content is an art form, and will come with practice.  Use alternative content delivery methods. Try using comics, podcasts, videos, or any other form of communication to help set yourself apart and build a good brand identity.  Interviews are a great way to create interesting content as well as network. Interviews are factual and generally bring lots of views from interested demographics. If you are an expert on a subject, leverage that expertise and make yourself an authority on that subject. If you are providing useful and unique content for your niche, you will find others linking to you as a reference. These are some of the strongest links you can make, as they greatly affect your trust rating. If you are able to make yourself enough of an authority, you can find yourself linked in news articles and other major publications. These can lead to massive increases in traffic and rank. The internet buzz is constantly shifting, and it pays to stay on top of what's popular. Tailor your content to meet the shifting tides of what is being talked about, and you will find yourself being linked all over the place. Nobody likes reading an article that is poorly written or riddled with spelling errors. Take some time and proofread your writing. A lot of this polish will come with practice and patience. Evergreen content is content that will always be relevant. This content is good for consistent links, as the content often gets rediscovered at a later date. A strong link portfolio will have several evergreen links mixed in. Some of the best evergreen content include romance, food, parenting, weight loss, pet care, and much more. Common evergreen formats include:  Lists Reviews How-tos An ugly or unusable site will kill your back-link campaign before it even starts.

The hips are ball and socket joints that help your legs move. Focusing on hip stretching can give you better range of motion in your legs. There are a number of hip stretches, including the hip flexor stretch, the hip rotator stretch, the floor hip stretch and the hip abductor stretch. To do the hip flexor stretch:  Kneel on your right knee and put your opposite foot on the floor. Your opposite hip and knee should rest at a 90 degree angle. Push your right hip forward until it is over your right knee. Keep your hands on your hips. Keep your back straight and your chest pushing forward. Breathe into the stretch until you feel some tension in your hips. Hold the stretch for 15-60 seconds. Release the stretch switch to the other side. Repeat stretches on each side for a total of 5 times. Do these sets a couple of times every day. The hamstrings are the muscles along the backside of your thighs. There are a number of ways to stretch these muscles; these exercises usually require some resistance or support surface to enable a good stretch, such as a doorway and wall, a table, a ballet barre, or the floor. To do a doorway stretch:  Lie on the floor next to a doorway. Rest one leg flat on the floor through a doorway. Rest the other leg against the wall next to the doorway. Start inching your body slowly toward the wall so that your leg is pushed against the wall. You should start to feel some tension in your hamstring muscle. Hold the stretch for 15-60 seconds. Release the stretch switch to the other side. Repeat stretches on each side for a total of 5 times. Do these sets a couple of times every day. Once you are able to do this stretch, try other hamstring stretches that require you to move your leg up higher or stretch it further, such as stretching your leg onto a table or sitting on the floor and stretching your hamstrings. Turnout exercises, also known as “butterfly” or “froggie” stretches, require that your legs bend out to the sides of your body, rotating at the hips. Turndowns are often performed by ballet...

A sundial will only work correctly when it’s on a perfectly flat surface, like the ground, a stand, or a table. Place yours down in a safe spot where it won’t get knocked down or moved. This may seem obvious, but it’s crucial! If you want to be able to read your sundial from dawn to dusk, keep it out in an open, unshaded area where sunlight can reach it for as long as possible. You may notice that some sundials show only 12-hour measurements, since they won’t work for the hours that the sun is down. Use a compass or look for the North Star at night to find true north. Then, rotate the face of your sundial until the gnomon, or the pin of the sundial, is pointing straight north. The 12:00 noon notation is aligned with the gnomon, so it will be pointing north as well. If you live below the equator, you’ll need to point the gnomon of your sundial towards the south, rather than the north. You can use a compass or look for the Southern Cross constellation to find true south and adjust your sundial accordingly. To find the Southern Cross, look for 4 stars shaped like a small kite. The farther south you are, the higher it will be in the sky. The angle of the sun makes it very difficult to use a traditional horizontal sundial along the equator. Instead, use a vertical sundial and follow the packaging instructions to set it up and point the gnomon correctly. At the equator, the sun rises along the eastern horizon and moves straight up, then sets on the western horizon. If you used a horizontal sundial, the shadow would fall mostly west in the morning and mostly east in the afternoon, instead of rotating slowly.

Mix your hair dye. Apply the dye to your hair Wait for your dye to set in your hair. Rinse out the dye according to its directions. Evaluate your new color.

Make sure that your hair is clean and freshly-washed first. Detangle it with a wide-toothed comb first, then apply a generous amount of leave-in conditioner to it. Run the comb through your hair again to help evenly distribute the leave-in conditioner.  This method works best on damp hair, but you can work with dry hair as well. It is very similar to the LOC (leave-in conditioner, oil, and cream) method used before styling hair. This method is safe for your hair, but be aware that it can weaken and break your hair over time. Part your hair down the center, from your forehead down to your nape. Part it again, this time going horizontally across the back of your head from ear-to-ear. Twist and clip 3 of those sections out of the way. Go to the remaining section of hair that you left loose. Apply some shea butter to it first, then follow up with olive oil. Run a wide-toothed comb through your hair to help make it smooth and to distribute the products. You can use other moisturizing products and oils instead, if you prefer. Use a smaller hair tie for this rather than the standard sized one. It will help reduce bulk and make the style more comfortable for you. When tying the ponytail, make sure that the hair along your scalp is pulled taut. Use tangle-free hair ties to prevent snagging. Don't wrap the hair tie repeatedly around the same spot as you would when tying off a ponytail or braid. Instead, wrap and twist the hair tie down the length of the ponytail in a crisscross fashion. You should be able to cover 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of hair this way. Pull your hair taut while doing this. Start wrapping the next hair tie where you finished wrapping the last one. Remember to pull your hair taut as you go. Depending on the length of your hair, plan on using 6 to 7 hair ties for the entire section. When you have one last wrap left on your hair tie, fold the ends of your hair down, and wrap the hair tie one last time. This will make it more secure. When you are done, you'll have a bunch of Medusa-like tentacles...

Plan to bleach your hair when it is damp but not dripping. Run your hair under a cool stream of water (be it in the shower or sink). Once your whole head is wet, towel dry it so that it is damp rather than soaking wet (ie. there should not be water dripping in rivulets off of your head).  You can also let your hair air dry for several minutes in combination with towel drying it. Bleach can be applied to wet or dry hair. You should use whatever approach is more consistent with your level of bleaching experience. Your bleach will likely go best if you use a method you are comfortable with. Bleach has a tendency to remove the color from everything (not just your hair but clothing too) so it's important to bleach-proof your work area. Wrap an old towel (one you don't mind discoloring) around your shoulders. To be safe, you may want to wear an old shirt you don't care about as well. Put your latex or rubber gloves on so that the bleach doesn't irritate your skin. You will need to wear latex or rubber gloves for this step. When applying the bleach wash, start at the bottom (or tips) of your hair and work your way up to the roots. Once you have reached the roots, rub the rest of the bleach bath into your hair just like you would rub normal shampoo into your hair while showering. It's okay to apply the mix only to certain spots on your hair (like where the color didn't work out like you wanted it to.) Once your hair is clipped up with plastic clips, put a shower cap over it. The shower cap will make the bleach process more quickly, and will also ensure that the bleach doesn't drip everywhere. Spray a small section of the hair with plain water in a spray bottle and wipe a bit of bleach clean with an old towel. Do this every few minutes to keep an eye on how much your hair is lightening. It is important to keep an eye on your bleaching hair or else you may end up with a more intense platinum that the one you were hoping for.  For already bleached hair, you may only need 7 - 10 minutes. For removing a dark dye, you may...

As there are many different kinds of hair dye, there are many different methods of preparation you may have to follow for it. For the brightest green, a straight green dye will likely be your best bet. Follow the directions on the packaging for best results. Generally, you'll want to use the mixing bowl that came with your dye to prepare it.  If your dye did not come with a mixing bowl, a plastic bowl or small tupperware container may work. However, the dye may permanently stain your mixing container, so only use those you're comfortable staining/tinting green.  You may want to blend two separate dyes, one blue and one green, together to modify the hue of your green dye. The more blue you add, the more the intensity of your green will be diminished.  Be thorough in your dye mixing, whether mixing a single color or two separate ones. If you fail to mix the dye thoroughly throughout, your hair may end up being dyed inconsistently. . Different dyes will have different instructions for application, and you should follow these to get the best color from your product. In most cases, your hair should be sectioned into parts to ensure a thorough dyeing, and an applicator or a dye applicator brush should be used to spread the dye onto your hair.  Have whoever is applying the dye massage the product into your hair to ensure the dye saturates your hair and dyes it consistently throughout. Be sure whoever is applying the dye to your hair is wearing latex, rubber, or vinyl gloves when dyeing. Hair dye can sometimes take many days to fade from your skin. To prevent dye from staining the skin along your hairline or around your ears, you may want to spread Vaseline or lip balm along these parts. This will make the dye easier to remove. Depending on the dye you have used, you may need to wait 30 minutes for the dye to work its magic, or you may need to wait several hours. Most kinds of dye show up more intensely if you allow more time for the dye to set, but you should be careful not to wait too long. The chemicals in the dye...

The first thing to do is turn the chair over, and look at all hardware. Get a screwdriver or wrench and tighten any loose ones. Even try to tighten the parts that don't appear loose. Over time, it is easy for screws and bolts to become loose, causing certain chair parts to rub together irregularly and create a squeaky noise. Apply a lubricating oil on all of the nuts, screws and bolts to help loosen the joints. Simply spray oil directly on the the chair mechanisms, and pat them dry. You can also spray oil on a soft cotton cloth, and rub the oil onto your problem areas to have more control over where the oil goes.  Moisture in the air and air conditioners cause rust. Regularly applying oil prevents rust from occurring and building up. If the chair still squeaks after adding lubricant and tightening all bolts and screws, take them all out, and lubricate them with a light machine oil before putting them back in. To help you locate the area of the chair that is squeaking, have someone sit in it, and swivel from side to side. By applying weight to the chair to make it squeak, it will allow you to more easily locate the source of the noise to more accurately apply oil. Each time you apply more oil, ask your friend to swivel the chair so you can see if you put oil in the right spot. A chair may only squeak when you lean back, which is usually caused by too much tension where the spring's ends rub on the housing ends. To fix this, apply oil to the seat tension spring located inside the turn-knob housing. Simply loosen the seat tension turn-knob and remove the turn-knob to spray oil inside the housing. Desk chairs are often on wheels that may move a lot, so it is common for the axles in the wheels to need some silicone spray over time. Turn the chair over and spray the wheels. Then, flip the chair back over, and roll the chair to spread the silicone around the entire wheel. Collapsing into a chair will eventually cause it to squeak. Chairs go through a lot of wear and tear, so to keep your chair silent, be cautious...

TL;DR in English: Check the nuts, bolts, and screws. Grease the mechanisms. Remove the bolts and screws completely before adding any lubricant. Have a friend sit in the chair as you apply oil. Fix the springs in the back of the chair. Roll the chair back and forth to check out the wheels. Sit down gently.

You have to really know someone if you're going to truly love them, so make sure that the two of you get some quality time together. This means talking to each other! Talk about things that are important to you. Talk about significant matters (like religion and politics). Talk about your hopes, dreams, and goals for the future. This will help you understand who your husband really is, and let him understand the same of you.  Tell your husband that you want some quality time with him and why! This will help him understand why it's important. Try going for a leisurely drive or a walk somewhere, in order to get time to talk together, especially if you feel like you can't talk at home. Everyone has something that they're good at or something that makes them incredible and unique. Find this aspect of your husband and love him for it. There are lots of good reasons to love a person. Maybe your husband is a good provider. Maybe he's got a great sense of humor. Maybe he's affectionate and loyal. Maybe he's really smart. Driven? Good at this job? Your husband is human, not a god, so expect there to be some flaws. We all have them. You too! However, when we love someone...really love them...we embrace those flaws. We love them not despite their weaknesses but because of them. Just like he will love you for who you are, you must love him for who he really is. Maybe your husband is too talkative...but this can be an endearing quality. Maybe he's a bit messy...but he's your messy husband. This is the whole point of marriage: we work together to get through life and make each other better, more fulfilled people. You should also encourage each other to pursue the things you've always dreamed of and become the people you've always wanted to be. You will always be your husband's biggest advocate and he will always be yours...so cheer each other on!  Help him to really shape up and look more impressive, so that he can get that promotion at work. Let him help you work on that bad nail-biting habit! Marriage isn't some romantic...

TL;DR in English: Get some quality time together. Appreciate his strengths. Embrace his weaknesses. Make each other better people. Understand marriage. Give him the chance to wow you. Imagine your future and make it happen. Don't expect him to be your whole life.

to keep the population stable. Remember that if you catch every fish, there will be no more to reproduce. Try and replace all the fish you catch with the same or similar fish to avoid disrupting the pond ecosystem. Keep the male and female fish populations as even as possible to encourage breeding. of debris every week. Use a leaf skimmer to remove debris from the surface of the water—just don't go completely under the water with your skimmer. For leaves at the bottom of the pond, use a leaf vacuum. Purchase leaf skimmers and vacuums from home improvement stores. Splashing and evaporation will eventually decrease the pond's water level. If you get enough rain, you might not have to refill it often. Otherwise, use a garden hose top it off. Attach a dechlorinator to the pond if you're filling it up with city water.

Goldfish are omnivores, which means that they eat meats and plants. There are many types of food that you can feed your goldfish, and it can be overwhelming to go into the pet store and see all of the available options. Before purchasing any food, take some time to learn what the different options are.  Keep in mind that each type of food has its advantages and disadvantages. Your goldfish’s diet should consist of many different types of food. Purchasing different types of food will help you keep his diet interesting and ensure that your goldfish receives all of the nutrients that he needs to stay healthy. Dry food is one of the most common types of goldfish food. Dry food is usually sold in cans and comes in either flakes or pellets. Flakes will stay at the top of the tank and pellets will typically sink to the bottom. Your goldfish will feed at the top and bottom of his tank, so you can use either type of dry food.  In general, dry food is fairly healthy for your goldfish, but does not have all of the nutrients that he needs. Because of this, dry food should not be the main component of your goldfish’s diet. Since flakes stay at the surface, the excess flakes can be removed easily, making the tank easier to keep clean. Live food is an excellent source of protein for your goldfish, and is considered to be the most important part of his diet. Examples of live food are earthworms, bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp.  If not prepared properly, live food has the potential to transmit disease to your goldfish. To reduce the likelihood of disease transmission, purchase the live food from your local pet store, rather than searching in lakes, ponds, or the dirt.  Usually, brine shrimp and earthworms are highly unlikely to transmit disease.  Earthworms are more available during the summer months, during their breeding season. Brine shrimp are very tiny shrimp. They are extremely high in protein, so they should be used as treats rather than a regular part of your goldfish's diet. Frozen and freeze-dried foods often...

TL;DR in English: Learn what types of food your goldfish should eat. Include dry food in your goldfish's diet. Provide different types of live food for your goldfish. Identify frozen and freeze-dried dietary options for your goldfish. Include fruits and vegetables in your goldfish's diet.

Get everything together that you will need to dye your hair and place newspaper over your bathroom counter and floor to protect it from any dye that might drip down. Put on an old T-shirt, a hairdresser’s cape, or a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing. Then, put gloves on your hands to protect them from the dye. Some other items you might want to have out include:  Lip balm or petroleum jelly to apply around your hair line. Makeup remover wipes or a damp washcloth to remove any hair color that gets on your skin. A hair color application brush to make it easier to distribute the color. Use a comb to part your hair down the center going from the crown down to the nape of your neck. Then, divide those sections in half by making a part that goes from ear-to-ear across the top of your head. Use hair clips to keep the sections in place as you work. If your hair is thick or long, divide each of the 4 sections in half again. Use your gloved fingers or a color application brush to “paint” the mixture onto each section of your hair going from the roots to the tips. Make sure you saturate each section of your hair with the dye to avoid a patchy appearance. Continue until all of your hair is saturated with the dye. Try using 2 mirrors to make it easier to see the back of your head while you dye your hair. Stand in front of a mounted mirror, such in your bathroom, and use a handheld mirror to look at the back of your head. After applying the dye, you will be able to see the color develop gradually to your desired shade of light brown. Set a timer for the amount of time indicated by the dye instructions to avoid leaving it on for too little or too much time. Check the dye's instructions for maximum set time, which is usually 30 minutes. Dyes stop developing after the max time elapses. Leaving it on past that time will not do anything. Use cool or lukewarm water to rinse the dye out of your hair, Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Do not shampoo your hair after rinsing it out. However, if your dye kit...

TL;DR in English: Lay out all of your supplies and cover your work surfaces. Divide your hair into 4 or more sections. Apply the dye mixture to each section your hair. Develop the dye for the amount of time indicated by the instructions. Rinse the dye out and apply conditioner once the time is up.

. Chop garlic and fresh basil. Combine in a food processor with toasted pine nuts, and grated Parmesan or pecorino, pouring in olive oil as you blend. Spread on rustic bread or toss it onto freshly cooked pasta — the residual heat from the noodles won't affect the properties of raw garlic. This recipe is very easy to adjust by taste as you go. Start with one clove of garlic for a large bowl of pesto and increase if desired. Two cloves may overpower other flavors. . Another Mediterranean sauce that understand the value of garlic, aioli can add flavor to sandwiches, chicken salad, and many other dishes. You can make the mayonnaise style recipe in a blender, or labor over this handmade Spanish recipe that uses only garlic and olive oil:  Place peeled garlic cloves in a mortar with a pinch of salt. Crush the garlic to a smooth paste with a pestle. Pour olive oil drop by drop into the garlic paste as you continue grinding it with a smooth motion. Keep this up for at least twenty minutes, as the garlic slowly absorbs oil. The finished aioli should be so thick you can turn the mortar upside-down. Every Mexican dish needs salsa, every salsa needs spice, and garlic is a great way to fill that need. Try these recipes for jalapeño salsa, chipotle salsa, or cooked salsa (with raw garlic added after cooking). If avocados are in season, make guacamole. If your usual recipe doesn't use garlic, try adding one clove. Any more and you may need to reduce the amount of onion or peppers to compensate. A basic vinaigrette is the easiest salad dressing you can make. One or two cloves of garlic, very finely minced, makes an excellent addition to a small bottle of the dressing. You can also use it in more complex variations, such as this tart recipe:  Chop one large garlic clove and two or three leaves fresh basil Whisk together 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil and 1 tbsp (15 mL) raspberry vinegar Stir in garlic and basil along with 2 tsp (10 mL) brown sugar, ½ tsp (2.5 mL) Dijon mustard.

Many children with cystic fibrosis will have very salty sweat. You may notice it when you kiss your child. Children with cystic fibrosis may not display all the symptoms of the disorder until they get older or their symptoms may get worse as they age. If you have cystic fibrosis, you may experience respiratory issues like wheezing, breathlessness, a persistent cough that results in thick mucus, and lung infections. You may also have recurring issues like pneumonia and pancreatitis. Cystic fibrosis can cause your digestive system to stop functioning, leading to issues like intestinal blockage, rectal problems, and greasy or foul-smelling stools. Some people have a defective gene that can out them at risk of developing cystic fibrosis. If cystic fibrosis runs in your family, you should get tested for this disorder. Getting diagnosed early can help make your quality of life better and give you access to effective treatments. Your doctor will suggest doing a blood test to check if you have a defective gene that can be linked to cystic fibrosis.

TL;DR in English: Watch for salty sweat in children. Look for respiratory issues like wheezing and a persistent cough. Notice if you have severe constipation and foul-smelling stools. Get tested if you have a genetic predisposition.

Dermatologists recommend using gentle cleansers to wash your skin. Gentle cleansers are less likely to cause irritation, which is important because irritated ingrown pimples may seem bigger and more obvious. If you think your ingrown hair is caused by bacteria, however, you will want to use an antibacterial soap.  Look for a product that is labeled as “non-comedogenic.” Non-comedogenic means that the product will not clog your pores. Products containing benzyl peroxide have antibacterial properties and help heal infected follicles. Apply to infected follicle twice daily. There are some oils that are considered non-comedogenic as well. You can use these oils to cleanse your skin. You can find many of these oils in the beauty section of well-stocked grocery stores and health food stores. Some good choices include:  Argan oil Hemp seed oil Sunflower oil Shea butter Safflower oil The toothbrush bristles or washcloth fabric can help to remove dead skin and free the embedded hair. When you are washing your skin, apply a small amount of cleanser or non-comedogenic oil to the toothbrush or washcloth and use gentle circular motions to cleanse your skin.  Rinse the area with lukewarm water after washing.  Do not scrub your face with a harsh sponge, abrasive cloth, or other tool. Just use a soft cloth or your fingertips to wash your face. Make sure that you only pat dry your skin or you may irritate the ingrown pimple. Avoid using any rubbing motions while toweling off your skin. Just use a gentle patting motion to dry your face.

TL;DR in English: Choose a gentle cleanser. Try using a non-comedogenic oil. Wash your skin with a soft bristled toothbrush or a soft washcloth. Dry off your skin with a cotton towel.

Because silver dollar fish tend to naturally inhabit waterways in South America, they typically thrive in slightly warmer water temperatures. Use a water heater and keep a thermometer in or near the tank so you can regulate the temperature as needed. The ideal water temperature range for silver dollar fish is between 75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit (23.9 to 27.8 degrees Celsius). However, they may be able to survive in temperatures as low as 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius). Percent hydrogen, or pH, is a measure of how acidic or basic a sample of water is. Some breeders recommend maintaining a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. However, silver dollar fish can survive in water with a pH as low as 5.0 and as high as 7.8.  Check the pH every time you change the water. You may also want to test the pH of your water source to ensure that you're not introducing acidic or basic water to an otherwise stable environment. You can raise the pH by adding an alkaline buffer and lower it by adding an acid buffer. Both products can be purchased at most pet stores or through an online retailer. General hardness is a measurement of how much calcium carbonate is dissolved in the water. Silver dollar fish generally prefer soft water with 70 to 140 parts per million of dissolved calcium carbonate.  The ideal range of water hardness for silver dollar fish is between 4 and 8 dH. You can soften hard water by using a reverse osmosis unit or by adding aquarium peat, available at many pet stores or online. You can harden soft water by adding calcium-based rocks to your tank. You should completely change the water at least once every month to ensure a stable habitat. However, changing the water too frequently can deplete the bacteria your fish rely on. Because of this, it's recommended that fish owners perform partial water changes in which approximately 25% of the water is replaced. Partial changes can be performed about once every two weeks, though tanks that get dirty very quickly may need more frequent partial water changes. You may...

White pants are a summertime classic, but if you choose the wrong underwear, they can be a disaster. Choose your nude underwear in a color that closely mimics your skin tone.  If you don't have nude underwear, a light gray pair will also work. Avoid wearing white or black underwear underneath white pants – both colors are equally noticeable. Choosing lingerie for a wedding is tricky; you want your underwear to be beautiful for your wedding night, but invisible during the ceremony and reception.  Choose your underwear in a color that matches your skin tone. Avoid pretty details, like bows. Those details might show through your dress, even if the rest of the underwear doesn't. Choose your underwear in a size bigger than normal so bulges won't be visible through the dress. If you have your heart set on wearing a certain piece of lingerie on your wedding night, change into your fancy underwear after you remove your dress. Depending on who you are and your underwear preferences, this advice may sound like heresy. But there are times when going sans underwear can be effective – for instance, when you're working out.  If you are going to go bare during a workout, make sure to wear bottoms with built in underwear or moisture wicking capabilities. Avoid thongs when working out. The friction caused by your thong sliding around as you work out may cause UTIs or other bacterial infections. If you are going to wear underwear when working out, look for fabrics that are non-abrasive and that have flat seams. Men should wear boxer briefs for sports with medium intensity and jockstraps for high intensity sports. Most of the time you want to cover your underwear up, but when it comes to date night, you want to make sure your underwear is ready to be seen. Follow these tips to pick out a lingerie that works for your body type.  If you're petite, try ruffles to suggest an hourglass figure and a push up bra to give your curves a boost. If you're curvy, try an underwire lace bra with a high waisted panty. If your body type is...

TL;DR in English: Wear nude underwear under white pants. Wear simple underwear under your wedding dress. Be comfortable while working out. Pick the right underwear for a romantic occasion.

Gold is a great way to add some pop to your brown eyes. Use gold eyeshadow on your eyelids to highlight the gold specks in your eyes. Apply a matte gold shadow or a metallic gold shadow for some real pop. You can also try other warm metallic shades like copper and bronze on your eyes to make them stand out.

About 30 percent of unwanted heat comes from windows. Close your window coverings to prevent direct sunlight from heating up the room. If you don’t already have blinds or curtains in the room, invest in some, especially if you have any south or west-facing windows. By using window coverings, you can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees.  Try to keep the window coverings closed from morning until late afternoon when the sun is at its peak. If heat is a persistent problem in the room, consider purchasing thermal insulated blackout curtains. Any device that is powered on is currently contributing to the heat in the room. Unplug or turn off everything you’re not using. Computers and televisions, in particular, generate a lot of heat. Incandescent lightbulbs are big heat-generators, too. If possible, turn the lights off in the room.  It's not always feasible to turn out all the lights. At the very least, dim them as much as you can.  Consider replacing your incandescent lights with compact fluorescent lamps, or better yet, light-emitting diodes which generate far less heat. CFLs and LEDs are more environmentally-friendly, as well. Piles of clothing and other kinds of clutter absorb heat and keep it trapped in the room. The less clutter you have in the room, the more available space there is for the heat to disperse and the faster it will cool down. A lot of clutter can also restrict airflow, making it feel even hotter in the room. Toss any piles of clothing you have on the floor into your closet and shut the door behind them. Do a quick survey of the remaining clutter and quickly eliminate what you can. If it’s hotter inside the room than it is outside, the walls have probably absorbed a lot of heat from sunlight throughout the day. Remove this trapped heat and push it outdoors by opening the windows in the room. Close off any spaces in the house that you currently aren’t using, too. This will help to cool down the room you’re in more quickly. Once it cools off a bit, be sure to close the windows.

TL;DR in English: Close your blinds/curtains. Turn off all unnecessary heat-producing devices, appliances, and lights. Pick up the clutter. Open a window and close off other rooms in the house.

The purificator is the smallest of the small linens, and the post Communion veil is the largest of the small linens. Both can be either square or rectangular, and both have an embroidered cross in the center.  The purificator is the linen used to dry the holy vessels during Holy Communion. The post Communion veil is used to cover the chalice after Holy Communion has concluded. Lay either linen flat with the cross upright but facing down. Smooth out any wrinkles with your hands. Fold the right side in toward the left. The right-most third of the material should be folded over the center third, leaving only the left-most third visible. Fold the left side in toward the right.  The edge of this left-most third should meet the bend of your first fold. The bend of this fold should meet the edge of the original right side of the linen. Crease both folds with your fingers to lightly crease them before continuing. Fold the bottom third of the linen up so that it covers the center third of the cloth. Fold down the remaining top third of the linen so that it completely covers the material from your previous fold. If done correctly, the purificator and/or post Communion veil should be folded into nine even square sections. Use your fingers to press all the folded edges into firm creases.  Flip the linen over so that the embroidered cross is now on top. Press the creases with an iron before putting the linen into long-term storage. This step completes the process. The purificator or post Communion veil should be ready to store.

TL;DR in English: Look at the linen. Place the linen right-side down. Fold in the right side. Bring in the left side. Fold up the bottom. Bring down the top. Press the creases.

Having a tentative quit-by date can be motivating and give your boyfriend something to focus on, but it shouldn’t be set in stone. If he wants to set a date, make sure he knows that he has not failed if he hasn’t fully quit by this time. Many people will experience things like insomnia, inability to concentrate, anxiety, restlessness, irritability, and depression. These usually go away in a week or two. By reminding your boyfriend that they are temporary, you’ll help him believe that he can get through them. Many people take several attempts to quite smoking. If your boyfriend has a relapse, encourage him to learn from the experience so that next time he can avoid whatever caused him to smoke next time. Smoking is a learned behavior, and so is quitting. Relapses can be frustrating, so demonstrate to your boyfriend that it is only a matter of time before he tries again—and before he succeeds. In fact, most people who quit smoking and then have a relapse try again soon.
