Increasingly often, malls are welcoming spas and massage centers into their halls. Take advantage of this and get a full-body massage or facial treatment after a day of browsing through shops. Make sure you mention any medical conditions or injuries you have before booking a spa appointment. Broken skin, for instance, might disqualify you from getting a facial. If you like makeup, you can visit a makeup counter and get a free makeover, and ask for tips for your skin type. Many skincare counters are happy to provide these services in the hopes of selling new products, so don’t be afraid to ask for a sample of a product you might be on the fence about. This is a great option if you are looking for a makeup product to do a specific job, such as reduce under eye circles or make your lips pop. Visit your mall’s candy, chocolate, or pastry shop and indulge on a few treats. You can purchase a chocolate croissant and enjoy it right there, or you can stock up on some sweet treats to take home and eat throughout the next few weeks. Use this opportunity to try something new. You can ask to see any new candy or specials, or you can ask the clerks what their favorites are. Bring along your favorite book (or a new tome from the bookstore), and sit down to a cafeteria lunch. You can eat while you read, absorbing the sounds and smells around you while you immerse yourself in a new world. Many malls have coffee shops in them, as well, so you may even be able to cozy up in an armchair and sip a latté as you read. You can visit a department store and request to have your measurements taken. You can then use this information if ever you need to take an item to a tailor, order an item online, or complete alterations yourself. Although you can do your own measurements, doing so can be tricky, so why not enlist the help of a professional? Sizing is particularly important for bras, so if you wear a bra, use your time alone to find out what size you should actually be wearing. Malls are often used as testing grounds for new therapy...

TL;DR in English: Book a spa appointment. Visit a makeup counter. Splurge on a few treats. Have lunch with a favorite book. Get your measurements taken. Try out new relaxation techniques.

Use a unique skill or ability that you already possess and make it appear more impressive. Maybe you have great drumming skills, a stellar singing voice, or the ability to make complicated balloon animals. You can then take your ability to the next level by adding in a surprising or interesting element.  Think of creative ways to impress the judges with your talent and show them how well you can do the talent even in less than ideal circumstances.  You may want to enlist friends to perform with you and create an act where you all drum together on stage. Or you may ask friends who can play instruments to be your backing band for your singing performance. You can then create synchronized movements as a band that you perform together during the act. If you have a more specialized talent, like making balloon animals or juggling, you may want to add in an element of difficulty that will appear impressive to the judges. This could be making a huge balloon animal within a certain time limit or making balloon animals while riding a unicycle or running on a treadmill. When you are creating your act, you should showcase your strengths as a performer. This will help you feel more comfortable when you perform and more confident. You will also be at your best when you are catering to your strengths, as this can help to hide your weaknesses as a performer.  If you are more comfortable in costume when performing in front of others, come up with a unique costume that ties into your act. Maybe you wear an updated clown costume for your juggling act or a long, glamorous gown for your jazz singing performance with a band. Think about how you can use costume as a way to feel comfortable and confident on stage. You may be at ease when you move and dance around the stage, as opposed to staying in one place. Integrate this into your act, where you do a coordinated dance with the other people in your act or do a dance to fit your act if you are on stage alone. Stage props can be as simple as a microphone stand or as complex as...

The ideal rod is lightweight, 6.5–7 feet (2.0–2.1 m), with a medium action and medium soft tip. It’s important to ensure you use a sensitive rod because bass will often bump the blade before it strikes.  The lighter the rod is, the more sensitive the rod will be. A shorter rod will give you more accuracy in your cast but a longer rod will give your more power to set your hook, leverage when reeling in your bass, and distance to your cast. The ideal rod is lightweight, sensitive, 6–7 feet (1.8–2.1 m), fiberglass, and has a medium action tip or a light action tip based on the weight of your lure.  A medium action rod can also be used if it can set the hook and be flexible during your cast. A ⅛-ounce lure needs a light tip while a 314-ounce lure needs a medium tip. A sensitive rod helps you determine what type of structure you’re coming into contact with. A 7 ft (2.1 m) rod is effective when casting out a far distance and when using heavier baits. A 6 foot rod are more effective for accuracy when trying to cast towards fallen trees or in between structures. Fiberglass rods allow bass to inhale the hook before it’s set as the flex on the rod keeps the hook from becoming dislodged. The ideal rod is lightweight, extremely sensitive, 6.5–7 feet (2.0–2.1 m), graphite, and has medium action and a medium light tip.  When fishing deep water, sensitivity and weight are imperative so you can feel the bites without getting fatigued from holding up the rod in a 9 to 10 o’clock position over long periods of time. Use a 6.5 ft (2.0 m) rod when fishing structures 20 feet (6.1 m) or deeper and a 7.5 ft (2.3 m) rod when fishing anywhere shallower than 20 feet (6.1 m). Graphite is faster and more sensitive than fiberglass, which allows you to set the hook fast. It’s vital to have a soft tip to ensure that there’s tension with the bass at all times as you can easily lose a fish if only the point of the hook is embedded.

Lubricate all PVC connection points for easier installation. Snap the guttering section(s) into place. Attach 2 “offset bends” to the drain outlet to start the downspout. Mark the spot for the downspout’s bottom bracket. Screw the downspout brackets into the side of the shed. Cut and install a section of downspout along the shed wall. Connect another offset bend and a section of downspout tubing.

As soon as you start feeling overheated, stop what you’re doing and sit or lie down. Be as still as possible so that your body temperature will start to go down. If you feel dizzy or confused, ask someone to call for help while you rest. If someone else is feeling overheated, walk them over to a place where they can relax. If you’re experiencing heat exhaustion, you need to cool down quickly. If possible, go indoors to an air conditioned spot or sit in front of a fan. If you’re helping someone who’s experiencing heat exhaustion or a possible heat stroke, help them move to a cool location. They may be disoriented.

TL;DR in English: Stop being active and rest. Move to a shaded, cooler location.

When you create a plastic canvas, you don't want any loose threads hanging from your masterpiece. To accomplish this, and secure your row of stitches in the process, you need to stitch over the tail.  Thread your needle with approximately three feet of yarn or floss. Insert the needle through the backside of the canvas until you are left with a two-inch tail of yarn or floss. Hold the tail against the back of your canvas so that it runs along your stitch line. Execute your stitches over the tail until it is completely covered. When you complete a row or rows of stitches, you do not want to mar your creation with a bulky knot or a hanging tail. To create a clean, finish on the back of the canvas:  Flip the canvas so that its back faces up. Insert your needle and yarn through several completed stitches. Pull the yarn or floss tight. Trim the yarn or floss as close to the canvas as possible. There are two basic stitches you may use to finish the edges of your plastic canvas: the lark's head knot and the overcast stitch. The lark's head knot is used to create a fringe edge. On patterns this stitch appears as “larks head.”  Insert the needle through the top of the canvas at an edge hole. Pull the thread or yarn to the left side. Pull the needle up through the back of the canvas at the same hole. Create a loop in the thread or yarn. The loop will hang from the backside of the canvas. Insert the tails through the loop and pull tight. Repeat. If you prefer a clean edge, use an overcast stitch instead of a lark's head knot. On patterns, this stitch appears as “overcast.”  Pull the needle up through the back of the canvas at an edge hole. Wrap the thread or floss tightly against the edge of the canvas. Pull the needle up through the back of the canvas at the neighboring edge hole. Wrap the thread or floss tightly against the edge of the canvas. Repeat. Produce one stitch per hole along the edge and inner corner of the canvas. Create 2 to 3 stitches per hole located on the outside corners. If you need to create a larger...

Crush five or six tablets of aspirin and mix them with one-half teaspoon (3 g) of lemon juice and water. Apply the resulting paste to the affected area, then wrap it with a warm towel and cover it with a plastic bag. Leave it for about ten minutes and then remove the coverings. Scrape off the calluses with a pumice stone. Again, if you're diabetic, don't try this treatment. Also, if you're allergic to aspirin, do not use this method. One of the best ways you can treat corns and calluses is with a warm-water soak. This loosens the dead skin and helps with healing. Add 3 tablespoons baking soda to a basin of warm water and soak -- baking soda has a pH of 9 and is therefore alkaline and can disrupt the skin barrier. Or massage calluses with a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Soaking your feet in diluted chamomile tea can be soothing and will temporarily change the pH of the skin to help dry out sweaty feet. The tea will stain your feet, but the stain can be easily removed with soap and water. Sprinkle cornstarch between your toes to keep the area dry and protect the skin from breaking down. Moisture can make a corn or callus feel miserable and can promote fungal infections.  This is more preventative than anything and should be used to eliminate discomfort. Soak a cotton ball in vinegar and tape it to your corn or callus. Leave the vinegar-soaked cotton on overnight. In the morning, rub the area with a pumice stone. Make sure to attach the cotton ball only to the callus itself. You don't want to irritate the skin around it that is doing just fine. Pineapple peel contains certain enzymes which help in softening corns and calluses and removing them from the skin. Place a small piece of fresh pineapple peel over the affected area and wrap a clean cloth around it. Do this every night for a week. You can also apply pineapple juice to the corns.

TL;DR in English: Use aspirin to soften your calluses. Try baking soda. Put chamomile tea in your soak. Utilize cornstarch. Consider using vinegar. Put a pineapple to good use.

Spray the cut ends of the guttering with a lubricant like WD-40. Lubricating these and all other connection points will make snapping or pressing the PVC into place much easier. PVC guttering simply snaps into place at the standard brackets, joint brackets, drain outlet section, and (if applicable) “stopend” section. Feed one end of the half-tube shaped guttering under the lip of each bracket where it’s attached to the fascia board. Then push down to snap the guttering into place, under the lip on the outer side of each bracket. If your chosen PVC guttering doesn’t come with dedicated “stopend” sections that you attach to the fascia, snap a water-tight “stopend” piece onto the open end of the guttering. The downspout will be made of fully-enclosed tubes, and the “offset bend” sections are short tubes bent at 112.5 degree angles. Spray lubricant onto each end of the offset bends, press them together firmly, then press them onto the stub of the drain outlet section that points downward. The sections of tubing should be snug in place, but you’ll still be able to twist them so that you can align the offset bends to point straight downward right up against the side of the shed. Use a level and a chalk line tool (or a string and tape or nails) to create a line on the shed’s wall that drops straight down from the opening of the offset bends. Mark the location for the lowest bracket about 50 cm (roughly 1.5 feet) from the ground if your downspout will spill out onto lower ground. However, if the ground is level or slopes up, place the lowest bracket at 1 m (roughly 3 feet) so the downspout will spill out further away from the shed. Install a downspout bracket at the lower mark you just made, and another just below the offset bends. Then add others down the string line at intervals no more than 1 m (roughly 3 ft) apart. Once again, mark the holes, pre-drill, and use 25 mm (1 inch) screws. Measure and cut it so that it runs from the offset bends to just below the bottom bracket. Use a hacksaw to cut the PVC downspout...

Use a pot rack to hold cooking supplies. Create an open-faced pantry to free up useful space. Hang up drapes and mirrors to create the illusion of space. Paint your room with light or contrasting colors to make it look bigger.

TL;DR in English: Make a room appear bigger.

Buy seeds or veggie starts from a garden center. Test the soil and purchase necessary amendments. Remove all of the weeds and vegetation where you are going to plant your vegetables. Break up and amend the soil.

When possible, mount floating shelves on your walls to hold lightweight items like books, figurines, and small electronics. For bulkier items like musical instruments and potted plants, see if you can hang them by attaching adhesive hooks or anchor screws to the wall. Bulky items like pots and pans can take up a lot of unnecessary space in your kitchen cabinets. To fix this, try hooking them onto a wall-mounted pot rack or similar device. This will open up a lot of extra space for heavier and more fragile items. Instead of a professional pot rack, try purchasing a large pegboard. This will allow you to arrange your supplies in any way you see fit, conserving space in the long run. In many cases, concealed or walk-in pantries take up a lot of room they don’t need to. Creating an open-faced pantry with a free standing or wall mounted shelf system will better utilize the available space while encouraging you to pare down and organize the supplies you already have. Instead of using it to store food, keep bulky and non-perishable supplies in your pantry. Even if a room is perfectly organized, it may still feel cramped and uncomfortable to live in. Thankfully, there are some ways to rectify this without taking up more room:  Floor to ceiling curtains will create long lines along the wall, making your house look taller. Large mirrors will act like a portal to another room, making the area seem deeper. The color of your walls can alter how large or small your house looks. To make a room appear bigger, paint the walls a bright or pastel color. In addition, cover any wall trimmings in an even lighter shade of paint, creating a subtle contrast that makes objects look further apart. Some good color choices include:  Off-white Beige Baby blue Pastel green

Then take three more random cards from the deck as well. This trick requires that you gimmick the deck a little bit before you start.  For the Four Robbers, you're going to make your spectators think you’ve put the Jacks into the middle of the deck. In reality, you’ll place the three other cards you've taken into the deck. These three other cards will be stacked on top of three of the Jacks during the trick. This trick involves a story, begin your story by telling your audience about four Jacks that decided to rob a bank. Hold the four Jacks, fanned out vertically in your hand. All four Jacks should be able to be observed by the audience at the same time. Hold the three random cards behind the Jack that’s on top so the audience cannot see them. This is essential to the trick.  If you are having trouble hiding the other cards, hold them in place by putting your index finger on the top edge of the cards. Once you have given your audience a bit of time to see the Jacks, square the cards together. For this part of the story, you can say that the four Jacks helicoptered into the bank, or simply snuck in through the roof. This trick relies on some good storytelling. You can tell the story as if the Jacks are robbing a bank, or about how four robbers entered a house to rob different floors. Take the top three cards of the deck off one at a time, inserting them into the different levels as you tell your story.  Tell the story dramatically. The more detail you provide concerning what the Jacks are looking for and what the robbers are planning to do with the cash, the more engaged your audience will be. An immersive story will distract your audience from what you’re doing with your hands. This trick can be performed with any set of face cards, not only Jacks.

TL;DR in English: Extract the all four Jacks from the deck. Present the Jacks to the audience. Tell the story.

The insoles are the cushioned pads inside your shoes. Grab the insoles and take them out of your shoes so they’re able to dry faster. Keep the insoles in a sunny window or in front of a fan to prevent them from developing any odors or mold.  If your shoe doesn’t have insoles or you cannot remove them, then you can skip this step. However, it may take longer for your shoes to dry. You can use newspapers on any shoe style or material.

TL;DR in English: Pull out your shoes’ insoles and set them aside to dry.

If purchasing seeds, pick a brand that seems dependable and pick vegetable strains that seem reliable. You may want to do some research before you go to the garden center to decide exactly which type of each vegetable you want. If you are purchasing vegetable starts, pick plants that seem healthy and do not have discoloration or spots.  Consider whether you want organic or non-GMO veggie starts or seeds. While some people do not have a problem with genetic modification or pesticides, others do not what these kind of processes involved in the propagation of their food. It's up to you. You can also get good quality seeds and plants from springtime farmer’s markets, seed swaps hosted by local organizations, and online seed catalog companies. These amendments will depend on the current status of your soil and the needs of the vegetables you want to plant. If you have never planted before in the location you are using, take a soil sample and conduct a soil test. There are tests available at any garden center that will tell you the ph of your soil. Soil can go from very acidic all the way to very alkaline, as well as going from very sandy to very clay like. Figure out what kind of soil you have and try to move it more toward neutral by adding amendments. After assessing the soil, add some compost to it. Compost adds organic matter that breaks down and basically becomes food for your plant. Take the time to weed before you plant your veggies. Weeds will compete for nutrients with your new plants, making their success less likely. Get all the weeds from their roots, as many weeds can regenerate if even a bit of their roots are left intact. You will want to cultivate, or break up, the soil in an area a bit larger than where your plants will actually be. The root systems of many plants will grow to be quite large, moving outward from where the plant is initially planted. You can break the soil up by digging with a shovel or using a roto-tiller. As you mix the soil, add in any amendments you need to add based on the...

Some diseases and conditions can predispose you to kidney disease or may even make kidney disease worse. Try to get yourself as healthy as possible to help your kidneys repair themselves.  For example, if you have high blood pressure, then talk to your doctor about what you can do to lower your blood pressure. If you have diabetes, then do what you can to get your diabetes under control. A family history of kidney disease may also predispose you to kidney disease, so make sure that you take extra precautions if you have a parent, sister, or grandparent who has kidney disease. . Getting regular exercise can help you to stay in good overall health, prevent weight gain, and reduce blood pressure. If you are healthy enough for exercise, then you should try to get 30 minutes of physical activity five days of every week.  Check with your doctor to be sure that exercise is a good idea for you. Try to find something that you will enjoy so that you will stick with it. For example, you might find that you enjoy swimming, biking, hiking, dancing, or a combination of these activities. . Smoking damages your blood vessels and decreases blood flow to your kidneys. Since blood is necessary for healthy tissues, a lack of blood can cause damage and may also make it hard for your kidneys to repair themselves. Smoking also increases your risk of developing kidney cancer, as well as other conditions such as high blood pressure. Ask your doctor about smoking cessation programs and medications that may help you quit smoking. When taken too often, ibuprofen, naproxen, and other over-the-counter pain medicines can lead to kidney damage. If you take these medications on a daily basis, talk to your doctor about other options to manage pain. Keep in mind that it is okay to use over-the-counter medicines for occasional pain, but frequent use can lead to kidney damage. If you are concerned about your kidney function or if you are at risk of developing kidney problems due to a family history of kidney disease, then ask your doctor for...

The race starts at 5 am, so it's important to get there early. It's important to know the marathon route, as all streets are closed overnight and re-opened during certain hours throughout the day. Avoid thinking and concentrating on running like it's the only thing on your mind. There are lots of Pacific Ocean sights over Kalanianaole Highway and Diamond Head, so take a breath and enjoy the views. Take advantage of any water cups or sponges as you move along. Even if it's throwing the water on your hair or the back of your shirt, you will feel better and more energized. The marathon doubles up along Kalanianaole Highway, so cheer on encouragement to those on the other side of the road. There is a lot of Aloha spirit and even if it's cheering on a Japanese participant, everyone has fun.

Some AmEx cards carry an annual fee that must be paid just to be a cardholder. The cards with the highest annual fees often also provide the best benefits, but unless you will be using your card a lot, these perks may not outweigh the cost of having the card.  Many AmEx cards do not have annual fees; these are generally the entry-level, basic credit cards, such as the Blue Cash Everyday card. These cards may offer lower credit limits or less attractive benefits than cards with annual fees. Annual fees (excluding those associated with corporate accounts) range from $75 (USD) for a Hilton HHonors Surpass card to $450 for the Platinum and Delta Reserve cards. Some card options waive the annual fee for the first year and begin charging after that. The AmEx Green and Premier Rewards Gold cards are examples of these. If you carry a balance on your AmEx credit card (or any credit card) from month to month, you will be charged interest fees according to the annual percentage rate (APR) associated with your card. You don't want to end up with a credit card with interest rates so high you can't pay down your balance, so explore your options carefully.  Credit account disclosure materials always include this information, but sometimes the language can be hard to understand. Ask an AmEx representative to explain the fine print associated with each card's APR. APRs can be fixed, variable, or a combination of the two. Fixed interest means that you will always pay the same percentage rate in interest; variable interest can change with the market rate and could get much higher than it was when you got the card. Combined APRs have a fixed rate plus a variable market rate. A card's APR can be changed at any time without prior notice. If you get an AmEx card, be on the lookout for notices about APR revisions. Interest rates often differ for different types of purchases, balance transfers, and cash advances. Make yourself aware of all terms and conditions of your card that relate to interest, especially those associated with...

TL;DR in English: Decide what you're willing to pay in annual fees. Look into card APRs. Select a rewards program. Understand how your creditworthiness factors in.

Put a placemat in front of each of the chairs you've set up for your guests. For a true formal dinner setting, you should have enough matching placemats for all of the guests, and the placemats should also match the tablecloth. If your meal includes more courses or items, you may need to add the following additional plates and utensils:  A bread and butter plate and knife. Place this small round plate about five inches above the forks. Place a small knife horizontally over the plate, with the blade facing to the left. A dessert fork and spoon. Place the small dessert fork and spoon horizontally a few inches above the plate, with the spoon on top of the fork facing left, and the fork facing right. A coffee cup. Place the coffee cup over a small saucer a few inches above the outermost utensil on the left and a few inches to the left of it. A red and white wine glass. If you have two different glasses, then the white wine glass will be the one closer to the guest, and the red wine glass will be slightly above and to the left of the white wine glass. You can remember this because guests should move from white to red wine.

Create a study date. Test each other’s knowledge. Read each other’s essay answers. Follow a routine.

The first thing you need to do is give the girl some space. If you start knocking down her door and calling her every five minutes she'll only pull further away from you. The amount of space and time you give her depends on what happened when you tried to date her. If you ended a serious relationship, you'll need to give her more space than you would if you had just dated a few times.  Don't call her, chat with her at parties, or email her just to see how she's doing. If you see her socially, be polite and say hi, but make it clear that you're not going to bother her. Just don't give her too much space. If you leave her alone for a few months, that will give her plenty of time to find someone new. Not only should you give her some space, but you should give yourself some space to reflect and think about what went wrong in the relationship. Take the time to sit down and ask what you did to make her not want you; were you too attentive, too moody, or too distant? Whatever you did, you have to make sure never to do it again if you want a moment of her day.  Write down the things that went wrong. Consider what you can do to improve this kind of behavior. Don't date anyone else during the reflection period. Focus on self-improvement and working on not repeating the same mistakes. Don't pursue her until you've figured out what went wrong and know how to change it. Though you should avoid getting busy in the bedroom while you're trying to win your girl back, you should try to live a busy and active life so you can work on being independent and pursuing your interests. If you're just sitting around waiting for enough time to pass to start trying to hang out with her again, she'll know.  Continue pursuing your hobbies and interests. Don't stop doing all of the things you love because your heart is aching. Spend time with your friends. They'll cheer you up and lend you a fresh perspective. Work out.

Place one half of your acorn squash seed-side down on the cutting board. Cut the squash into 1/2 to 3/4 inch slices by carefully cutting across the ridges.  You don't need to peel acorn squash before cutting or preparing it. Slicing the acorn squash thinly ensures that it will cook faster than if you simply roast half of the squash or bake large wedges of squash. To make large wedges, lay one half of your squash seed-side down on the cutting board. Carefully cut lengthwise along each ridge of the acorn squash to make wedges. Cutting the squash into wedges keeps more of its rustic shape and gives you larger pieces to serve. If you'd like to peel your acorn squash, cut them into wedges first. This will make it easier to hold the squash while peeling. If you need cubed or chunked acorn squash for a recipe, start by cutting the squash into wedges. Once you've sliced the wedges, you can peel each individual wedge. Lay the wedge so that one side lays flat on a cutting board. Take a knife and cut each wedge into cubes or chunks. You can cut the cubes or chunks to any size you would like. Keep in mind that if you're roasting the squash with other root vegetables, you should keep them all the same size. When cutting your acorn squash in half, ensure that you cut it crosswise. Once you've scooped out the seeds from both halves, take a sharp knife and cut the squash in half crosswise again. This will make one ring. Continue cutting rings until you reach the end on each half of the squash. You can cut the rings as thick as you like. Many recipes call for the rings to be sliced between 1/2 and inch and 1 inch.

Before you do anything else, you need to create an appearance and ambiance that will make your partner want to kiss you. You don't need to go to great lengths to make yourself desirable, though. More often than not, a little basic grooming will do the trick.  For guys, give yourself a good, close shave beforehand. Stubble often feels rough and uncomfortable to women and could take away from the pleasure of the kiss. A dab of cologne can also be a good idea, but don't bathe yourself in it. For women, applying an appealing scent can also be a powerful tool. Focus mostly on lotions since these make your skin look smoother while providing a more subtle hint of fragrance. Add a hint of body spray or perfume on top of that.    Moist, soft lips are far more kissable than dry, cracked lips. A little basic lip care can go a long way, so if your lips are prone to drying out, start applying the lip balm before you meet up with your intended kissing partner.  Lip balm can be used by men and women alike. Men with an aversion to lip care products should at least consider using an unscented, matte balm to maintain a certain degree of moisture. Women can wear glosses, lip stains, and lipsticks, as well, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Avoid sticky glosses or lip products that contain glitter. Something will a little sheen can make your lips seem more kissable, but you don't want your lips to look unnaturally wet, either.  If you don't have time to moisten your lips before the kiss, quickly run your tongue over your lips to add a little more moisture.    No matter how far the kiss goes, your partner will inevitably end up smelling your breath. Bad breath can make an otherwise good kiss turn sour, so keep your mouth clean and your breath fresh before you lean in.  Brush your teeth and your tongue shortly before the kiss, if possible. A quick swish of mouthwash could also help in a pinch. Avoid eating foods with strong odors before the kiss: garlic, curry, and so on. Suck on a mint before the kiss when all else...

TL;DR in English: Groom yourself. Prep your lips. Freshen your breath. Minimize distractions. Read the mood.

Every now and then you might like to try studying in a small groups with some of your friends and classmates. This can have advantages and disadvantages, and will depend on how well you work together. Obviously if you end up just talking about other things you are not studying your geography, so you need some discipline. This might be easier for some than others, so if you are trying to work and your friend keeps chatting, try to steer them back on topic and then maybe study on your own in the future. One of the big advantages of studying a group is that you can test each other and see where you have gaps. You can do this by using the flashcards you prepared. Pick up a card and read out the term, such as “Igneous rock!” and see who is able to describe and define it more precisely.  This also works with maps. Draw the outline of a country on a piece of paper and use it as a quiz question. Or say the name of the country and see who can draw it. You can test capital cities in this way too. You can keep score to make it more fun. If your exam has essay questions, it can be very helpful to do a few practice answers and go through them with a friend. Compare how you have approached the question and analyse which of you has best answered the question. Pick out the strengths and weaknesses of each of your approaches, but remember your friend might not be right.  You can ask your teacher if they will look at a practice answer. You could also ask a parent or older sibling. By being faithful and applying yourself to your studies, you'll be able to memorize important facts and do well on the exam. Keep your discipline and stick to your study plan. Remember that you reap what you sow. If you do miss a session, don’t give yourself a really hard-time, but make it up over the next day or two with some extra study.

The best way to sterilize the needle before using it is with flame. Hold the needle over the flame of a candle or a lighter until it glows. Make sure you hold the other end with tongs, or you'll burn your fingertips. Once the needle is sterile, wrap it in cotton thread.  Start about 1⁄8 inch (0.3 cm) away from the tip and wrap the thread back and forth about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) up the needle until the thread has formed an oval shape. This will absorb some of the ink as you dip your needle into the saucer. Dip the needle into the India ink and then poke it through your skin, leaving a small dot. There may be some blood after several layers of poking, but there shouldn't be much.  If blood is dripping/excessive, stop immediately and sterilize. Hold a clean paper towel, not cloth, onto the tattoo until it stops bleeding . Stay inside the line of the tattoo design you've drawn, filling it in with tiny punctures. Use a cotton swab or a rag to wipe away any blood or excess ink. The skin may swell up a bit as you poke it which may cause the resulting tattoo to appear spotty. You may have to do touch-ups when the swelling goes down if you want smooth lines throughout the tattoo. Wait to do touch ups until after the tattoo is completely healed, which can take up to two months. When you finish the tattoo, wipe down the area with soapy water. Throw away any remaining India ink in the ink cap and needles. They are no longer sterile. Use a new needle and a new saucer of ink if you plan on doing any touch-ups in the future. Avoid cleaning a fresh tattoo with alcohol -- use soap and water, instead.

TL;DR in English: Sterilize the needle. Start poking. Start working your way along the lines. Clean the tattooed area.

Use your crafting skills to create products that you can sell. Then, open up an online shop through a site like Etsy. To increase your sales, set up a booth at local events, festivals, and gatherings to sell your products. Some events require you to pay a vendor fee to sale your items, so always inquire about cost before agreeing to have a booth. If you have a nice DSLR camera and take good photos, do photography sessions or take photos of events, like parties and weddings. As another option, create fine art photos that people may want to hang on their walls, or take stock photos to sell online on sites like iStock Photo, Shutterstock, or Alamy.  Before people will hire you as a photographer, you’ll need to build a portfolio of your work. To get these photos, you might volunteer your services for free at a few events before you start charging people. If you take artistic or stock photos of people, make sure you get a signed consent form from them before you post the photos for sale. Sand down the furniture to smooth out the surfaces and buff off some of the old paint or stain. If you want to restain it, use a lacquer or paint thinner to remove the stain. Then, re-stain the piece. If you plan to repaint it, apply a primer and let it dry. Next, apply at least 2 coats of paint, letting each coat dry for at least 24 hours. If necessary, add new hardware to finish the piece. Sell your refurbished pieces on your local classifieds, like Craigslist. As another alternative, you can offer them for sale on handmade sites like Etsy.

TL;DR in English: Sell handmade crafts or jewelry through an online shop or at local events. Become a freelance photographer and sell photos online. Refinish old furniture from thrift stores, yard sales, or online ads.

Every family member old enough to follow instructions should know what to do when a quake happens. The more you rehearse the actions, the more natural the self-protection reaction will be when the quake occurs and everyone will be less likely to panic.  Practice the "drop, cover, hold" drill in each selected safe place. Hunker down beneath the sturdy furniture or against the interior wall, cover your neck and head, and hold on. Make it a habit to hold quake drills once a month if you live in a quake-prone area. Make it fun, such as combining quake-drill night with takeout food or a movie together afterward. By making it a family affair and associating the rehearsal with positive things, being quake-safe becomes a fact of your everyday life, not something to be afraid of. Prepared people stay alive. Make sure that every family member is aware of the following:  If you're outside, get away from power lines, buildings, street lights and anything else that might fall on you. Be aware that glass windows shatter and can rain shards down onto the street, so buildings with large glass expanses are not safe to be under during a quake. If you're inside, do not try to run outside. If you do, you risk being hit by falling debris from awnings, glass shards, bricks, scaffolding, cement decorations forced off buildings, etc. Show family members how to use radios, cooking equipment, flashlights, etc. that are powered by electricity or other contained energy sources. Have a few practice runs; you could even have an entire night of camping in your home to see how it goes. Never cook indoors with fuel stoves or barbecues. Carbon monoxide is one of the by-products of burning fuels; it is odorless and colorless and it kills quickly. Always keep cooking gear outdoors and make sure every family member is aware of this need. Tell children that if they cannot operate the cooking gear safely should you not be there to help them during any emergency, that they should eat only cold food from cans, dried packages and (within 12 hours)...

Blepharoplasty is a permanent option for giving your eyes a rounder shape, or adding an additional eyelid fold for those with monolids. Consult with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery to get an idea of the nature of the procedure and whether such action can produce the looks you desire. Such surgery can also help remove sagging skin and bags under the eyes. Trimmed medium to thin eyebrows with a high arch are a common shape for drawing attention to the eyes, creating the illusion that they are much larger. Note that eyebrows frame your entire face, and altering the shape of your eyebrows may give your entire face a different appearance. Speak with a beautician before making any drastic changes to your eyebrows to understand how to rock the new look. Specially designed "circle" contacts are available that make the iris appear much larger, promoting a round, doe-eyed look. Black is a very popular color when it comes to choosing colored contacts as well, as it makes the pupil look much bigger, thus widening the eye. Speak to your optometrist before wearing contacts. Poorly made contacts or taking care of contacts incorrectly can damage the eye. Your hairstyle can change the way your whole face looks. Tell your hairdresser what you want specifically and ask for any recommendations and suggestions. You could also try changing to a hair color that contrasts with the color of your eyes, drawing greater attention to them.

TL;DR in English: Sign up for plastic surgery. Shape your eyebrows. Try colored contacts. Change up your hairstyle.

Dye only adds to what color is already there; it does not replace color. If you want the dye to come out true to its color, you should use white roses. Use a sharp knife to cut the stem down until they are 10 to 12 inches (25.4 to 30.5 centimeters) long. Make sure that the bottom is cut at a slight angle. Take this time to trim off any leaves, thorns, and buds as well. Set the rose down on a cutting board or cutting mat. Use a sharp craft blade to cut the stem in half lengthwise. Stop when you are halfway up the stem. If you are using shorter glasses, you can split the stems only 3 inches (7.6 centimeters).  If your rose had a very thick stem to begin with, you can cut the stem into three or four sections instead.  If you snap the stem by mistake, cut the entire stem down to 5 to 6 inches (12.7 to 15.2 centimeters), and dye it a single color. At this point, you can cut and split more roses, or move onto the next step. You will need ½ cup (120 milliliters) of warm water. How many cups you use depends on how many sections you cut your rose stem into. You will need one cup per section. Use cups that have straight walls. Roses drink up warm water more quickly than cool water. You will need 20 to 30 drops of food coloring for each cup. If you can't find food coloring, you can use liquid watercolor instead. Use a different color for each cup. Move the cups close together first, so that the rims are touching. Carefully spread apart the split rose stem. Place each section into a separate cup. Make sure that the stem is submerged in the dye as far as it will go. The longer you let the rose sit in the dye, the deeper the color will become. If you want a pastel color, wait at least 4 hours. If you want a deeper color, wait several days.  These roses won't end up with each petal a different color. They will be dyed in sections, like a pie chart.  Rose petals have veins in them, which will look darker. If you want them to be less visible, leave the rose in the water for twice the recommended time. If you want to, you can...

This isn't absolutely necessary, but it's useful, as it allows you to visualize your given data as a range of values over a length of time. For our purposes, simple tables will usually suffice - simply use two columns, listing your values for time in the left column and the corresponding values for your quantity in the right column, as above. Your data should have regular values for time, each with a corresponding value for your quantity. The units for these time values aren't important - this method will work for data collected over spans of minutes, seconds, days, etc. In our case, our data is expressed in terms of years. Insert your past and present values into a new formula:  (present) = (past) * (1 + growth rate)n where  n = number of time periods.  This method will give us an average growth rate for each time interval given past and present figures and assuming a steady rate of growth. Because our example uses years, this means we'll get an average  annual  growth rate. Manipulate the equation via algebra to get "growth rate" by itself on one side of the equal sign. To do this, divide both sides by the past figure, take the exponent to 1/n, then subtract 1. If your algebra works out, you should get:  growth rate = (present / past)1/n - 1 . Insert values for your past and present values, as well as a value for n (which will be the number of time intervals in your data, including your past and present values.) Solve according to basic principles of algebra, order of operations, etc.  In our example, we'll use our present figure of 310 and our past figure of 205, along with a time period of 9 years for n. In this case, the average annual growth rate is simply  (310/205)1/9 - 1 = .0422     0.0422 x 100 = 4.22%. On average, our value grew by 4.22 percent each year.

TL;DR in English: Organize your data in a table. Use a growth rate equation which takes into account the number of time intervals in your data. Isolate the "growth rate" variable. Solve for your growth rate.

Rub aloe vera gel or a broken leaf from an aloe vera plant on the bite area to relieve itching. Aloe is well known for its ability to soothe and heal problematic skin areas. Fresh basil leaves that are crushed and directly applied to the area also naturally relieve itching symptoms because basil contains thymol and camphor, both of which are natural itch relievers. Basil can also be useful in repelling insects so you don't get any more bites. Either roll the plantain leaves between your fingers to extract the juice or rub the juicy leaf over the mosquito bite. The itch should go away in less than a minute. Dabbing small amounts of lavender oil directly on the affected area can relieve the itching quickly. Alternatively, try dabbing some witch hazel on the bite. This oil is known as a cure-all for many problems and it can also alleviate the itching from mosquito bites. Add a drop of tea tree oil to an ice cold compress of witch hazel. It helps stop the burning feeling and the itch.

TL;DR in English: Use aloe. Try basil. Use plantain herbs. Apply lavender oil. Use melaleuca or tea tree (ti-tree) oil.

Load-bearing dry stack walls should be started at the corners. Begin constructing corners by laying 1 stone in the corner of the trench. Then lay 3 stones extending out in each direction. This forms the corner joint. If the wall is more than 1 stone thick, lay more stones parallel to the first ones. Act as if each section represents one stone. Construction bricks are designed to interlock at corners. The 4 stones you laid from each direction forms the first layer of cornerstones. For the second layer, overlap the first stone by laying another on top of it. Continue interlocking the stones as you build upward, alternating which side lays over the other.  The interlocking stone structure should look like a zipper going up. Stack 3 to 5 layers of stones at the corner before filling in the rest of the wall. Then if you need to go higher, stack more layers at the corners. After constructing the corners, extend outward from here and fill in the rest of the trench. Interlocking bricks have shapes cut into them that line up with the other bricks. Fit the bricks together as you lay them in place. Place the bricks in the trench all along the perimeter to form the first layer.  Make sure each rock you place is secure. Push it down to lock it in place snugly. Pound them down gently with a rubber mallet if you have to. Always stack a complete layer around the whole perimeter before starting another layer. When starting a new layer, each rock should overlap the joint between the rocks below it. This helps make your wall more stable. Continue this pattern as you stack more layers. If your bricks are smaller and you need to use more than one to cover the width of the trench, make sure the stones nearby touch each other. Otherwise, the wall won’t be able to support much weight. Part of the reason you need a stem wall is to keep ground moisture away from the structure you’re building. Stacking the wall at least 1.5 feet (0.46 m) above ground level helps keep your structure dry and avoids water damage. Do not build the stem...

TL;DR in English: Lay a cornerstone in each corner. Construct the corners by interlocking stones. Lay the stones down for the first layer of your wall. Stagger the rocks as you start new layers. Stack your wall at least 1.5 feet (0.46 m) above the ground level.

As soon as the grill is ready, use a pair of long-handled tongs to transfer the steak to the center of the grill. Don't use a fork to move the steak around, or you'll pierce the meat and release the juices.  Cook the steak for three to five minutes on the first side. After three minutes, start checking the underside for browning. When the first side is browned, flip the steak with tongs and cook for another three to five minutes on the other side. A braai steak is traditionally only cooked to medium rare. This will take about seven to 10 minutes in total. If you have a meat thermometer, the ideal temperature for the steak is 120 to 125 F (49 to 52 C). If you don't have a meat thermometer, gently press the steak with your finger when you think it's done. If the meat provides little resistance and gives easily to your push, then it's ready. As soon as the meat is cooked, remove it from the grill with the tongs. Place the meat on a fresh plate or wooden board. Set the meat aside to rest for about 10 minutes. Resting meat makes for a juicier steak because it prevents the juices from spilling out when the meat is cut. Steak and potatoes are a classic combination, and roasted potatoes are a great side dish for braai steak. Asparagus is also a fantastic pairing with steak, and grilled asparagus nicely complements a braai steak.

When teaching literacy to children and pre-teens, it is important to focus on building the simplest skills first. Emphasize the fundamental building blocks discussed above, as having a thorough understanding of these concepts and skills will give your students a solid foundation on which to build future reading and writing skills. For elementary age children, literacy skills will place a stronger emphasis on things like spelling, whereas literacy education for pre-teens will spend more time with grammar. There are many different types of writing which your students will need to learn about. Knowing how to recognize and reproduce different styles for different contexts will be very important later on in life.  Teach your students to recognize narrative writing. This is writing which conveys a story and is the form most often read for pleasure. It is commonly used as an exercise to increase literacy skills. Examples of narrative writing include novels, biographies, history, and newspaper articles. It is easily recognized by the format: “This happened, and then this happened, and then this happened.” and so on. Teach your students to recognize persuasive writing. This is writing which lays out a logical argument. Examples of persuasive writing can be seen in job applications, editorials, and academic papers. Teach your students to recognize expository writing. This is writing which explains, informs or describes something. What you are reading now is an excellent example of expository writing. Newspaper articles can also fall into this category, along with encyclopedias and reports. Children in this age-group will need to learn the basic elements of storytelling. This will give them the tools they need later in life in order to analyze the things they read. Elements of storytelling include beginning, middle and end, crisis or climax, and character. These are most easily taught to children when done in tandem with reading a book aloud over the course of a few weeks. This gives you the opportunity to discuss and...

Clean and dry the basil:  First, remove all leaves from the stems. If you're going to try out the second freezing method, then you will probably want to leave some of the buds intact. The stems should be discarded. Rinse the leaves thoroughly, taking care not to bruise them. Finally, remove excess water from the leaves by using a salad spinner or laying them out on towels to dry. Place 1 or 2 handfuls of the basil in your food processor, then chop or purée the basil leaves with extra virgin olive oil and a bit of salt. Coating the basil pieces with oil protects them from air so they can maintain their color and flavor. Pour the purée into small air-tight containers and add some extra olive oil on top. After defrosting the purée, re-process adding your favorite pesto ingredients. This method takes a little more time, but is still an easy way to freeze basil. This method keeps whole individual leaves or plant buds intact to use as garnish.  Put prepared leaves and buds on trays in the freezer for about one to two hours. Once they are frozen, put them into airtight containers. Do not overcrowd them because they will lose their shape. After defrosting for use, you can julienne the leaves or use them whole as garnish on pasta dishes or soups. This method is the easiest of all the freezing methods.  Simply pack the leaves into a cleaned out milk carton with the top cut down. Seal the top closed. Use quart (950ml) sized cartons and then put the sealed carton inside a Ziploc baggy to make it air-tight. When you want to use the basil for cooking, cut off a slice of the carton and re-store the remainder as it was. The frozen leaves are great to use in sauces.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the basil for freezing. Freeze the basil by starting a pesto sauce. Freeze the basil as is. Freeze the basil using a milk carton.

A desoldering pump, also called a solder sucker, vacuums up melted solder to separate soldered components from a circuit board. Thoroughly examine both sides of the board to isolate the specific spots holding each component in place.  The desoldering pump works best for through-hole connections. You can use it on surface-mounted devices as well, but it is less effective. That said, it's one of the cheapest options. You can easily ruin a circuit board by accidentally separating the board layers during the desoldering process. Ensure that you only desolder the exact pins you need to remove a faulty component. Using isopropyl alcohol on a toothbrush, gently clean the terminals of the component(s) to be removed. Ensure that you clean only the terminals on the soldered side of the board and not anything on the component side. The heat from the soldering iron can damage sensitive components such as integrated circuits or transistors. To dissipate some of the heat, clip a metal alligator clip between the component and the terminal you plan to desolder. Turn your soldering iron on and let it heat up for about three minutes. Using a wet sponge make quick passes from base to tip over your soldering iron to clean it. You may see a tiny bit of smoke as you pass the sponge, but it's just from the moisture in the sponge. Press the end of the pump until it clicks into place. This compresses a spring, and latches it in the depressed position. Using the tip of your soldering iron, heat the old solder until it melts. You can push the terminal with the soldering iron tip at the same time to help free the component as the old solder melts. Use an old soldering iron if you have one, since pushing with the iron can wear the iron down. Touch the tip of the desoldering pump to the solder pad and melted solder, without applying pressure. Release the spring (usually by pushing a button on the side) and the piston will shoot back quickly. This creates a vacuum which pulls the melted solder up into the pump.  The tip of the pump may...

Most gyms like to hire instructors with recognized credentials. Train for a certification registered with the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) to strengthen your teaching skills and increase your professionalism.  Some fitness instructors also get certified in CPR or first aid in case of emergencies during their class. In Canada, all certifications require Basic First Aid and CPR as a prerequisite before you can even take the instructor training. Apply for an open job listing or contact gyms directly to see if any of them need new instructors. If not, talk to them about volunteer opportunities. Some gyms look for instructors to teach classes for free or in exchange for a membership. Ask a more experienced fitness instructor if they could sit in on one of your classes. Have them take notes on what you're doing well and where you could improve for future classes.  It's best to have a formal mentor who has a certification that allows them to provide formal and written feedback about your performance. They will have a fee for their services, but you will know that you are getting good and appropriate advice. Some areas may not require formal mentors to have a certification, so check the laws for your area. Everyone's teaching style is different, and you might learn new ways of motivating clients or organizing your classes. Sample a few classes at your gym and take notes afterward about what you liked, what you didn't like, and how you can adapt your classes based on your experience. Register for a well-known fitness instructor convention to connect with other instructors and attend helpful teaching workshops. Getting to know more fitness instructors can expand your network and list of resources for teaching classes. Read the convention schedule beforehand so you know where the classes most relevant to your interests will be.

Write, email, or call and ask for information about becoming certified to interpret. The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. (RID)  oversees a National Interpreter Certification (NIC). A NIC certification can often be used in place of your local certification requirements, but check first. You must have a bachelor’s degree, take a written exam, be interviewed, and take a performance exam to get NIC certified. RID also offers a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI) assessment. This can also sometimes be used in place of your local certification laws. To get a CDI you must hold at least an associate’s degree, pass a knowledge test, and hold 40 training hours. If you want to work with children in an educational setting, you will probably have to take the EIPA. Be prepared to be evaluated on your ability to interpret classroom content to children and teens, who are deaf or hard of hearing. Testing includes:  A written and knowledge exam. A Performance test. A second performance test on cued speech, which makes individual sounds visible to children learning to read.

TL;DR in English: Find out what is required for certification. Get nationally certified. Get certified to be a deaf interpreter by RID. Take the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA).

A female will lay up to 7 eggs, doing 1 a day. Both the male and female will sit on the eggs during this period, incubating them. Once the eggs appear, they will hatch in about 2 weeks. If an egg hasn't opened in 3 weeks, it's not going to. Take it out of the cage. If you notice an egg, remove the extra nesting material from the bottom of the cage. If you don't, the birds may build layered nests, with a clutch of eggs on the bottom of the nest, nesting material, another clutch, and so on. These birds will keep breeding over and over, but to stay happy and healthy, they really need a break between clutches of eggs. You can also remove the other nesting boxes if you don't have other breeding pairs in the same cage. The finches will know how to feed the babies, so you do not need to do anything. The babies will have feathers in about 2 weeks and start moving out of the nest at about 18 days. After that, the parents will feed the chicks another 2-3 weeks. In fact, if you try to wean the birds early, it can cause poor health. Look for a bird food mix that has egg in it, as that is a complete protein. Feeding it to your birds while they're caring for their young will help raise healthier, stronger birds. You can also continue to feed them their regular food, too. Typically, after 4-5 weeks, the parents will start chasing off the babies to begin weaning them, particularly if they've got another clutch started. If you start seeing this behavior, move the hatchlings to a new cage so they can get some peace from their parents. If the babies are too young to be moved, you can take the new eggs away from the parents instead and dispose of them, which will get the parents to focus on the older hatchlings. These birds will continue to breed over and over if you let them, but you really shouldn't allow a single pair to breed more than 4 times a year. To discourage them, put the birds on finch seed mix and avoid feeding them greens. Also, only have nesting materials in the cage when you want the birds to breed. If you need...

Open the spreadsheet program of your choice. Put in column headings. Create cells for recording monthly income. Make a cell that calculates total monthly income. Fill in expense titles. Sum up expenses. Write in an equation for finding total monthly cash balance.

After months of crawling about, your baby will finally be ready to attempt her first steps. Don’t focus on getting her to walk right away, though. Help your baby practice her balance and coordination. Then, when her leg muscles are up to the task of walking, she will be equipped to take confident steps. Resist putting your baby in a stroller or a sling; let her walk everywhere.  Let her cruise barefoot on the furniture; this will encourage her to walk on her own and is definitely more helpful than any kind of walker out there. Instead of getting a walker with a seat, get a stable push toy that will act as her stabilizer. Give your baby some small balls or clean socks to shoot into a laundry basket; the act of bending down, picking up something, and standing up again is great for balance practice.  Play freeze dance to practice her inhibitory control or her ability to stop her body from moving. Get a big soft ball and let her practice kicking it to each other, or sit on the floor and roll or throw a ball to each other.

TL;DR in English: Get ready for baby's first steps. Encourage her to stand on her own two feet as much as possible. Practice different types of movements.

Fresh snow weighs less than older snow so you should clear snow as soon as it has fallen. As snow sits on the ground it compacts and becomes wet, making it heavier. It can also then turn into ice and become very difficult to remove.  Wait until the snowplow has come by before finishing the driveway. A snowplow will usually "plow in" the driveway at least a bit, pushing more snow onto the edge of your driveway. It can be easier to deal with just clearing the driveway once. Use extra care when shoveling snow pushed onto your driveway by the plow. Plows pack the snow, making it much heavier than undisturbed, freshly fallen snow. One shovelful of snow can weigh 20 pounds (9kg) or more! You will need to consider what is the most efficient snow removal plan. You will also have to avoid piling snow where you'll have to just remove it again, so do not block access to snow that still needs to be cleared. If you are clearing a rectangle, it is better to work from the center out. First clear a strip of snow around the perimeter of the rectangle. Then, starting in the center, push snow towards the cleared area. From there, lift the snow out of the area. Use a brush to get snow off cars before clearing around the car to prevent extra work. Pushing snow is much easier than lifting and can reduce the risk of injury. If you begin early and if the snow is not too deep, then it is better to simply push it off driveways and sidewalks. This is a good way to clear away snow while it is still falling, to reduce accumulation. Spread your hands far apart on the handle, with one hand close to the blade. This will provide more leverage while lifting snow. If you need to dig (to get to your car, for instance), dig using a steady, easy motion. If you are "pushing" (as you might when clearing a driveway), hold your shovel at a slight angle and begin making passes back and forth width-wise along your driveway. You should rarely need to move your shovel above waist height. Make sure you clear around your mailbox every time it snows. If...

TL;DR in English: Start early in the day. Have a plan. Clear cars first. Avoid lifting snow by pushing it instead. Place your hands in the correct positions on the shovel. Begin shoveling. Don't forget your mail carrier. Salt and sand as needed.

If your employer offers a 401(k) retirement investment account, be sure to at least invest in the minimum percent of your salary to obtain matching funds from your employer, if offered. If you are in your 20s or 30s, you can choose more aggressive or risky investments that will pay off over time. If you are closer to retirement age, choose a balanced fund that is a mixture of stocks and bonds. These 401(k) funds often beat inflation, barring any risky investment by money managers, or a general market downturn. No matter what kinds of assets or securities you want to invest in, it's likely that you'll need a middleman, someone to help establish the trades that put your money into inflation-beating purchases. For stocks and bonds, you can work with an online brokerage or other financial planner or brokerage representative from such companies as Fidelity, Vanguard or T. Rowe Price. You'll want to keep track of gains over the years, so that you can pull out money that isn't performing well, swap assets around, or take some continuing strategy that will boost your chances of success. You'll also want to keep the costs basis of your investments on hand, so that taxable gains in future years can be calculated.

TL;DR in English: Choose investment options for your 401(k) account. Contact a brokerage or agent. Track your investments carefully.

To create a spreadsheet, you will need to use a spreadsheet program. Many different programs are available for free online if you don't already have a program like Microsoft Excel or Numbers installed on your computer. For example, Google Drive, Apache OpenOffice, Zoho Sheet, and Excel Online are just a few of the many free options available to you. Once you've found a program to use, install it and open the program up to a blank sheet in a new workbook (a collection of sheets). Skip the first cell and put "Amount" in cell B1. This column will record the value of every other item on the sheet. Go to the next cell to the right, C1, and write in "Due Date." This column will record due dates of various bills or payments, where necessary. Go another cell to the right, to D1, and write in "Paid?" or something similar. This is an optional column that allows you to track whether or not the bills due at the dates in the C column have been paid. Start in cell A2 by typing in "Income." This simply serves as a heading for the rest of your income items. Then, go to the next cell down, A3, and type "Net Pay." Then, type "Other Income" in the next cell down, A4. For most people, this will be all the income line items you will need. However, if you receive a substantial amount of income from another source (investment income, royalty income, etc.), you may want to include additional line items for those types of income. When you've created cells for all of your types of income, you'll need one that totals up your monthly income. Create this cell in the next available cell underneath your last income line items (so, if you only have "Net Pay" and "Other Income," this will be cell A5). Write "Total Income" in this cell. In the cell directly to the right of that cell (B5 in the example), you need to create a formula to calculate total income. This formula is the SUM formula.  Start by typing "=SUM(" in that cell. Then, click the cell to the right of "Net Pay" and drag down to the cell to right of your last income line item...

Buy items that are small or flexible. Pick candy and cheap toys for the outer layers. Choose small gifts for the middle layers. Save the most expensive gift for the center of the ball. Keep the age of your guests in mind as you pick the final gift. Match the gifts to the theme of the party.

Eminem writes down his lyrics and the thoughts that he has. Instead of trying to think of lyrics off the top of your head, write down lyrics that can be used in different situations and for different songs. Keep a notepad or smartphone with you so that you can write down lyrics as you think of them. Eminem aims for perfection and edits his work in order to achieve it. Read over the rhymes you have and try to tighten them up. If there are lines that have too many or too little syllables, edit them so everything fits. Find precise adjectives for the lyrics that you're writing and continue to refine your work. One way to expand your vocabulary is by reading as much as you possibly can. Look up new words in the dictionary and grow your repertoire of rhyming words. Novels, newspapers, and blogs can help expand your vocabulary. This will help you think of lyrics as you write new songs. Many times Eminem’s lines don’t rhyme but they sound like they do. This is commonly referred to as “bending words” and can be used to rhyme two words that sound similar but don’t rhyme. Adjust the pronunciation of certain vowels so that the words sound the same.  For example, in “Lose Yourself” Eminem rhymes “arms are heavy” with “mom’s spaghetti.” “Arms” and “mom’s” don’t rhyme, but can sound similar if you enunciate the o and m at the end of “mom’s” to sound like the r and m in “arms.” In “Lose Yourself”, Eminem uses bending words to create the lines “oh there goes Rabbit/ he choked he’s so mad but he/no he won’t have it he.” In this rhyme, “oh” sounds like “choked” and “no,” “goes” sounds like “so” and “won’t,” and Rabbit sounds like “mad” and “have.” Words like “duck” and “truck” are single syllable rhymes. Eminem employs a more advanced rhyming scheme in the majority of his songs known as multisyllabic rhyming. This means that multiple parts of each word or multiple syllables within a word rhyme. When writing down your rhymes, break down larger words into parts and try to rhyme each corresponding part with another word. The song...

TL;DR in English: Write your lyrics down. Edit your rhymes. Read as much as you can. Give words a different pronunciation to rhyme them. Write multisyllabic rhymes.

Any type of bread will work for your sandwich, so pick the one that you like the most. If you want something healthier, look for whole grain or multigrain to get helpful nutrients and fibers. You can either used pre-sliced bread or buy an entire loaf to cut your own. Use 2 slices of the bread you choose and lay them flat on your plate so you can easily build your sandwich on top of them.  Look for different types of bread, like sourdough, pumpernickel, or rye, to see how they affect the overall flavor of your sandwich. If you want to make a large sub sandwich, cut a baguette horizontally down the middle to use as the top and bottom pieces. Try using buns or rolls instead of sliced bread if you want to make smaller sandwiches. Look for pitas or tortillas if you’d rather have a wrap. Shake a small amount of salt and pepper onto the sandwich to make it taste better. Try different spices or herbs you may have, like basil, oregano, or cayenne pepper, if you want to give your sandwich an additional kick. Only use a tiny pinch of each spice so the flavors aren’t too overwhelming. Once your sandwich is completely assembled, press down on the top piece of bread to compress the sandwich so it’s easier to cut. Use a serrated knife to cut through the sandwich so it doesn’t fall apart. You can either cut the sandwich diagonally or into rectangles depending on what you prefer. After you cut the sandwich, eat it and enjoy your meal!  You don’t need to cut the sandwich if you don’t want to. If you want to save some of your sandwich for later, wrap it in foil or a plastic bag and keep it in the fridge to preserve it.

TL;DR in English: Choose your favorite type of bread for the sandwich. Season the sandwich to enhance the flavor. Cut your sandwich so it’s easier for you to eat.

Pour a half a cup of water into a ceramic or microwave-safe bowl. Then take one lemon and cut it in half. Squeeze each half of the lemon into the water. Drop the halves into the bowl after squeezing. Put the bowl into the microwave. Microwave the bowl with the lemon and water on high for three minutes. This will produce a steam that will pervade the microwave and make it easier to clean. Keep the microwave door closed for five minutes after the cycle is complete to let the steam do its work. After the five minutes are over, open up the microwave. Carefully with an oven mitt or towel, remove the bowl and set it aside. Use a sponge or wet cloth and wipe down the inside of the microwave. If the microwave has a turning tray, you can take this out and clean it individually to make the process easier. Use a scrub brush to scrub away any drips or stains in the microwave. The stains are probably not from the popcorn, but the popcorn odor can stick to these stains. If the scrub brush isn’t working, try dipping a cloth into the lemon and water mixture and rubbing at the stains. After you have removed the stain, do a final wipe down of the microwave with a dry cloth. This will remove the moisture from the inside of the microwave. You should notice that the odor of the popcorn is gone and is replaced with a nice citrus smell. If not, there are a couple more measures you can take.

TL;DR in English: Put water and lemon into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the bowl for three minutes. Wipe the microwave. Scrub any stubborn food remnants. Dry the inside with a dry cloth.

Small, flat items are easy to wrap. Larger items, like DVDs aren't because they are large and rigid. If you want to include a larger gift, then stick with something flexible, like a pair of socks. Remember, these items have to wrap and curve around each other in order to form a spherical shape. The outer layers of a saran wrap ball should be inexpensive. Candy is a great choice, but you can also choose goodie bag fillers, stocking stuffers, and other $1 toys. For example:  Edible treats, such as chocolate, mints, or gum. $1 toys, such as plastic bugs, toy cars, or crayons. $1 stocking stuffers, such as hand sanitizer, lip balm, or compact mirrors. As the ball grows smaller, the game will get more exciting and intense. Here is where you should put in larger, more expensive gifts. Themed jewelry and socks that are in the $2 to $5 range are great here. You could even step the gifts up to a $10 or $15 value here. For example:  Christmas jewelry, such as necklaces or earrings. Christmas accessories, such as scarves or socks. Money in $1 or $5 increments. This is the final prize, so it should be something that is worth waiting for! Gift cards are the most popular choice, but you can also pick out something that's more expensive too. For example:  A small, themed gift, such as an action figure. Money, but in a higher amount, such as a $20 or $50 bill. Movie or concert tickets. Candy is appropriate for all ages, but as you get towards the center of the ball, you should consider what your guests would like. You don't want to let them down with something that they wouldn't find interesting, after all. For example:  A 7-year-old might enjoy a $15 gift card to a toy store. A college or high school student might prefer a $25 gift card to iTunes. An adult might appreciate a $50 gift card to store that sells home décor or accessories. Saran wrap balls are a popular Christmas party game, but you can also play them during other events, such as baby showers or bridal showers. Party supply stores are a great place to pick up...

You are not alone, the abuse was not your fault, and no one ever deserves to experience abuse in any way. One step to healing from abuse is to recognize that you did nothing to deserve disrespectful treatment. As a human, you have rights to be treated decently by those in your life, by strangers, family members, and intimate partners alike. Recognize that each human has the right to be treated with respect, have their opinions heard, to change their mind, to be listened to and to be treated with respect at all times. . Emotionally abusive people often force you to put their needs, desires, and demands above your own. This desire for harmony and less conflict can slowly choke out your voice, leaving you feeling like you don’t know what you want or who you are. Learn to rediscover your inner voice. One way to do this is to begin making decisions on your own and learning not to second-guess yourself.  While decisions can be scary at first, start with small decisions and build your self-confidence. Try asking yourself something simple, such as, “What do I want for dessert tonight? Cherry ice cream or chocolate?” As you gain confidence making simple decisions, you may start to feel more confident about making more difficult decisions. Try to develop a system for making difficult decisions, such as identifying the problem and using a pros and cons list to weigh your options. . After enduring emotional abuse, you may have lost touch with your own preferences for things. Spend some time reclaiming yourself by engaging in liking and disliking things. Do things for yourself that bring you happiness and joy. Do things that you enjoy without worrying about pleasing anyone else. To start, you may go to a candle shop and find which scents you enjoy. You can also cook or buy foods that you enjoy on your own, even if other people don’t enjoy them. You may feel like your self-esteem has been shattered after enduring an emotionally abusive relationship. Take time to recognize your positive qualities. You can choose memories of...

This cake takes 20 minutes to prepare, 1 hour and 10 minutes to cook and serves roughly eight people. This recipe resembles a banana bread, but is a little sweeter, with a thinner batter suited for cakes. You can use any sort of baking dish that you'd like, of course, but loaf dishes are nice and deep, allowing you to get thick, moist center to your bread. You can just as easily pour the batter into pie tins, a bunt cake, or any other baking dish. Beat using an electric mixer until the ingredients are combined in a light, consistent color, about one minute. If you don't sift the flour, whip it up with a fork at least -- this breaks up big clumps of flour to ensure that everything gets melted and mixed together well. Melt the butter slowly, in 15-20 second bursts, so that it is liquid but not hot. Then mash up your bananas, blending well. The more ripe the banana is, the better it will be. Dark brown bananas are often your best bet. You can pre-mash the bananas easily on a plate with the back of a large. Flour actually toughens up as you mix it, leading to chewier, less tender cakes. Just mix the flour in until their are no more dry bits and everything is taken one consistent batter. The cake is done when you can pierce it with a knife or wooden skewer and the blade comes out clean, with only a few crumbs. If the skewer comes out with wet batter on it, let the cake cook for an additional 5 minutes or so and try again. When ready, tip it out and allow to cool on a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool completely if you are adding icing or frosting, as the heat will make even frosting impossible.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 180ᴼC/350ºF. Grease and line a 2-pound loaf tin. Sift the flour into a bowl, then add the milk, vanilla, sugar, and eggs. Melt the 1/2 cup of butter and mash the overripe bananas in, mixing well. Combine butter and flour mixtures, stirring just until they are completely blended. Pour all the batter into your tin and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan before serving.

You may need to update your firmware to fix a bug, or to allow your computer to play new types of discs. If you know your drive's manufacturer, visit its website and download the latest update. If you don't know the manufacturer, find it using one of these methods:  Look for a name printed on the front of your drive.  Look for a numerical code on the drive, then search for it at the FCC database. Open Device Manager and double click the entries underneath "DVD/CD-ROM Drives." On Windows 7 and later, you can have your computer attempt to fix problems automatically:  Open Control Panel. Type "troubleshooting" in the search bar in the Control Panel. Click "Troubleshooting" when it appears in the results. Look under "Hardware and Sound" and click "Configure a device." Select your CD drive and follow the onscreen instructions. Open Device Manager and look at the entries under "DVD/CD-ROM Drives." Right-click those device names and select "Uninstall." Reboot the computer to reinstall them. This is most likely to work if the name has an X or exclamation mark next to it. If there are no drives listed, the drive's cables are disconnected or the drive is broken and needs replacement.

TL;DR in English: Update your drive firmware. Use the built-in troubleshooter. Reinstall the drive.

If you want to grow purple roses, the easiest way is to get a 'parent' purple rose and use it to make more purple rose plants. The first step is to find a florist who can provide you with a fresh purple rose. Then, if you are very lucky, you may be able to get this rose to take root and grow into a viable plant. It's best to plant a cut rose when the rose is freshly picked. As the cut rose you obtained from the florist's may not be freshly picked, it's best to trim off the last inch and a half of stem. This freshens the cut surface of the rose. Always make the cut at a 45 degree angle, using a clean sharp blade such as garden secateurs (pruning shears). Alternatively, if you know someone who grows purple roses, you can request to make a cutting from their plant in order to grow your own purple rose bush. To cut from an existing plant, take about 8 inches (20.3 cm) of healthy green growth in the late summer or fall, cutting at a 45 degree angle. Once you have obtained your freshly cut rose, remove the leaves and dip the end of the stem into a rooting compound. Insert 2/3 of the stem into a cutting compost mix (or regular compost mixed with grit). Under the right conditions, the cutting will take about a year to develop enough root growth for replanting elsewhere. Not all cuttings will 'take' (i.e. develop roots) so always plant more cuttings than you need. Gardeners can usually count on between a third and a half of all cuttings developing into viable plants.

TL;DR in English:
