Once you have satisfied all of your loan agreement requirements, and have determined that no issues with the property exist, you are now ready for your closing appointment. A closing appointment is handled by a closing agent, which is a third party recommended by the real estate agent or lender, who verifies all closing documentation and ensures that all payments are received by the relevant parties. Contact the closing agent directly in order to schedule a closing appointment.  The closing agent will schedule the closing appointment with the buyer and seller. However, keep in mind that these appointments are usually separate. The buyer and seller will not usually sign paperwork during the same appointment. The lender will ensure that the closing documents are delivered to the closing agent. Since closing costs are calculated to the exact date of the closing, you will not know the final closing amount until you have set your closing appointment date. Your mortgage lender will have provided you with an estimate of closing costs to use as a guideline, although that amount can fluctuate. In general, closing costs are about 3 to 5 percent of the total loan amount. In certain situations, a seller may be willing to pay some or all of the closing costs if it is negotiated in the contract.  You should ensure that you have the required funds available in your account as of the closing date. Most banks will place a hold on checks deposited into an account before they are available, so make sure to complete any necessary deposits into your account before the closing date. On the closing date, you will likely need cashier’s checks for the payments that need to be made at closing. Your real estate agent will let you know the exact amounts of the checks. The escrow officer will contact the buyer with the amount via the final settlement statement along with any wiring instructions. The money should be at the escrow office one day prior to closing and all of the documents need to be signed at least one day prior to closing....

TL;DR in English: Set your closing appointment. Ensure that you have the necessary closing costs. Collect and review all relevant closing documents. Attend your closing meeting with the closing officer, lender representative and your attorney or Realtor. Complete the closing process.

Many recent devices can connect directly to the router via an ethernet cable. However, some aren't built to do that. Laptops, for example, often don't have components for using ethernet. For that reason, make sure you get any adapters you may need for the ethernet cable to ensure that you can use it.  Ethernet cables are all different; for example, a Cat-5 or Cat-5e cable runs at slower speeds than a Cat-6. However, it's also largely dependent on the router's connection and how many people will be connecting to the network at once. Unless you're doing very, very intensive upload work, you're probably not going to need a Cat-6 cable if you're the only one on the network. You cannot connect a mobile device (e.g. a smartphone) to ethernet with an adapter. The broadband source will most likely be a router, but in some cases, it may be a modem. In either case, you'll need to plug in one end of the ethernet cable to the broadband source to ensure that the computer will connect. Find the ethernet jack on your computer and plug it in. This jack will typically be located on the back of the computer, where the other components plug in. If your computer doesn't support ethernet, you'll need to make sure the computer is connected to the adapter, and then connect the cord via the adapter. You'll need to ensure that the computer is set to recognize the ethernet, rather than wireless. Most likely, you'll have to turn off your wireless connection to ensure that the computer recognizes the ethernet connection instead. Open up a page in a web browser and see if it loads. Some web pages can take longer to load than others, and others crash sometimes, so you may want to try and load a reliable website (e.g. google.com or isup.me) to ensure that the connection is running. Ethernet is more reliable than Wi-Fi, but that doesn't mean that things still can't go wrong. If you're having trouble with the ethernet, it can stem from many problems, but make sure that the basics (e.g. the router being connected) are established, and that...

TL;DR in English: Get an ethernet cable and any needed adapters. Connect one end of the ethernet cable to the broadband source. Connect the other end of the cable to the computer. Access your computer's settings. Test out your internet connection. Troubleshoot if you can't connect.

" Carbon filters are highly recommended for indoor gardens of all sizes. The contain activated carbon, which neutralizes the odors in air as it passes through. The carbon filter is installed in the grow room's exhaust system, where an inline fan forces the air through the filter before passing outside.  There are two types of carbon filter, granular and block. Block is generally more effective, with a larger carbon surface area and greater density for slower, more thorough filtration. Granular filters may be effective for small cultivation areas.  Choose the filter size according to the amount of air you need to evacuate, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). The intake fan in your exhaust system should have a CFM rating stamped on the body of the fan. Make sure the filter has a rating equal to or lesser than the fan's to ensure the fan is powerful enough to move the air through the filter. Likewise, both devices should have the same duct diameter (6 inches is standard, but check just in case).  If you do not have a fan already, you may opt to purchase one separately, or as part of a fan-filter combination. Connect the filter to the fan's intake side using an airtight clamp. Alternatively, you can use metallic duct tape for this step. Wrap fixture hangers around the filter and fan, and hang them from the ceiling using two hooks. Raise the system by pulling on the cords. Try to position the filter and fan in line with the ducting, which should be more or less parallel to the ceiling and pass into the wall. Attach the fan's exhaust end to the duct. Some people find it more effective to install the carbon filter at the opposite end of the exhaust system to the fan. In this case, attach the filter to ducting at the end or back of the system. Rig to the ceiling using the fixture hangers as described above. Plants produce odor around the clock, so you'll need to manage it constantly. Carbon filters are less effective in humid conditions. To help regulate conditions in your grow room at all times, consider...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a carbon filter, aka "scrubber. Install the carbon filter in your exhaust system. Run your filter 24 hours a day. Keep humidity below 70 percent. Change the carbon filter regularly.

After a class or after school are usually good times.  You might need just a few minutes to talk to your teacher, or this could be a longer conversation. It's a good idea to ask your teacher after class when a good time would be to come talk with them. They might be free then; if not, they'll suggest a better time.  Don't approach your teacher before class. This is often a busy moment for teachers and they're likely to be distracted. Having your test on hand may help the teacher assess what you need to work on if they let you retake the test. They may have forgotten your grade, as well, particularly if you're in a large class. Also bring any questions you wrote down while looking over your test. Come prepared. Don't immediately launch into the reasons why you  failed; this might make your teacher suspect that you're making up an excuse. Tell your teacher that you accept responsibility for the test and that you're trying to be responsible by asking for a retake. This also makes it clear that you do not blame the teacher for your poor results. It's very possible your teacher will ask why you need the retake. In that case, be honest. Letting them know helps them assess how they can best help you succeed in their class. They might ask you to study an hour a night if you're not reaching standard.  If you're struggling with the material, ask your teacher for help. They won't be able to reteach everything right then and there, but they may be able to point you in the right direction.  If you're considering getting a tutor, ask your teacher if they can recommend someone. " Teachers may have their reasons for allowing or not allowing retakes, and you need to respect their decision. At the very least, hopefully you've learned a little more about their expectations and how to better prepare next time.

Water your fig tree when the top 1 inch (2.5 cm) of soil is dry. Give your fig tree about 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water with each watering. Water your fig tree more if it's wilting or turning yellow.

It's best to have your bettas for a few months before you start breeding to allow them to adapt to their environment.  Remember, however, that males breed best when they are no more than 14 months old. Plan to breed them when you have a long, uninterrupted stretch of free time.  Once you introduce the male and female, you will need to devote at least a few hours every single day for more than 2 months to caring for the pair and their young. Make sure you don't have any vacations, business trips, or high-stress events coming up. The breeding tank should be 5–10 gallons (18.9–37.9 L) and be equipped with a removable divider, a few hiding places, an adjustable filter (such as a sponge filter with a gang valve), and a heater set to around 80 °F (27 °C). Never add gravel or other substrate to the breeding tank because the eggs will get lost when they fall to the bottom. Only fill this tank with 5"-6" of water, and set it up where there are few distractions, such as other fish, bright colors, and human activity. Live brine shrimp or bloodworms are the best bet, but other worms, crickets, roaches, and other insects (cut up) will also work. It's a good idea to raise these yourself or purchase them from a pet store or breeder to avoid the bacteria, dirt, and chemicals that wild insects could be carrying.  If live food is unavailable, you can also try frozen or freeze-dried brine shrimp and bloodworms. Betta fry are very small, and only eat live food, so you will need a supply of very very small live food to feed them when they are ready. Start now to be sure you have a good supply in a few weeks when you need it. Microworms are probably the best food, but some breeders prefer infusoria or vinegar eels. Baby brine shrimp can also be fed, but only in moderation alongside another food source, as too much may cause swim bladder disorder. When the live food cultures are going strong and the breeding pair has been eating live food for a week or two, you are ready to introduce your bettas. Move the male and female so they...

TL;DR in English: Let them settle in. Set up your breeding tank. Start feeding live food when you are ready to breed them. Begin raising fry food. Introduce the pair. Observe their behavior.

Fishing in cover such as weeds, submerged timber, or large rocks calls for heavier tackle than does fishing in open water with comparatively little cover. Clearer water also calls for lighter tackle than does dark water because light penetrates to a greater depth.  Heavy-tackle rods for plastic worm fishing typically run 5 1/2 to 6 feet (1.65 to 1.8 m), with a medium to heavy action. (Some anglers, however, favor rods as long as 7 feet/2.1 m.) They can be paired with a spinning, spincasting, or baitcasting reel with lines ranging as light as 8-pound test (4 kg class) to as heavy as 20-pound test (10 kg class).     Light-tackle rods for plastic worm fishing can run from 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 m) and feature a softer action than heavy-tackle rods. Typical fishing lines for light-tackle fishing run from 4-pound test (2 kg class) for ultralight fishing to 8-pound test (4 kg class) and are more likely to be fished with spinning or spincasting reels than baitcasting reels, as lighter lines are more likely to slip behind the spool of a baitcasting reel.     If you can afford it, buy a rod with a graphite blank instead of a fiberglass one. Graphite is more sensitive than fiberglass, providing you with a better feel of how your lure is performing and also better enabling you to detect when a fish takes the bait.

TL;DR in English: Decide whether you're fishing with heavy or light tackle.

Fig tree roots grow close to the surface of the soil, so it's important that you water the soil around your fig tree whenever it looks dry. Check the soil at least once a week to see if your fig tree needs more water. Completely soak the soil around your fig tree. If you're not sure what 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water looks like, get a 1 gallon (3.8 L) bucket and fill it up with water. Then, pour the bucket of water over the soil around your fig tree. These are signs that your fig tree isn't getting enough water. If your fig tree exhibits these symptoms, increase the number of times you water it each week and see if that stops the wilting and discoloration.

Under the Hi-Lo method of card counting, each numbered card has a value. Cards two through six are worth one point. Cards seven through nine are worth zero points. The ten card, face cards, and the aces are worth negative one point each.  The idea is that you’ll keep a total value of all the cards on display, and as more face cards are left in the deck you’ll make more blackjacks while the dealer busts more. The Hi-Lo method is a common counting system, but other systems exist that give different point values to certain cards such as aces and fives. Use a single deck of cards. Turn over the cards one by one, adding up the values as you go. If you draw a two, a five, and an ace, you’ll have a value of one. When you reach the end of the deck, your running total should equal zero. Repeat practice until you’re able to keep your total quickly and quietly. Casinos are wise to card counters, so they play blackjack with multiple decks at the same time. The true count takes the running count and divides it by the number of decks in play. This count gives you more of an idea of how much of an advantage you have in betting.  A running count of three is fine in a one-deck game, but this number means less when there are multiple decks since there are more cards to factor that reduce your chances of winning. For example, a seven running count divided by two decks leaves you with a true count of about three. But if there are six decks in play, the true count is only about one. Start off by using a few decks. Flip over the cards one by one and grow accustomed to dividing with fractions. At first you can simply round the division into a general true count, but as you go you’ll become more able to perform more accurate divisions in your head with less effort. An online card counting simulator can help you practice. Some simulators can correct your counting mistakes and track your winnings. Once you feel comfortable keeping a true count, try mimicking the feel of a casino. First, start small. Add a little music or radio...

TL;DR in English: Assign values to cards. Practice keeping a running count. Keep a true count. Practice maintaining true counts. Keep a count with distractions. Adjust your betting.

In order to get more sleep, you need to make sure your bed is associated only two things: sleep and sex. To ensure that, use your bed only for activities that should be done there. Try not to watch TV, do work, read, or eat in bed. This will make you look at your bed as a place for activity, which may cause you to lose sleep. Caffeine is a stimulant, which can help you get through your day. However, if you drink caffeine late in the day, it can keep you awake. Try to avoid caffeine late in the day. The specific time you should stop drinking caffeine depends on your sensitivity to it. For some, any caffeine after noon can cause sleeplessness. For others, caffeine can be consumed later in the day without sleep loss. Learn your limits and cut off caffeine early enough so that it won't affect your sleep. And remember that chocolate contains caffeine, so you should avoid it late at night as well! Eating large amounts of food or heavy foods late at night can make you lose sleep. The digestion can cause restlessness and your body will gain energy from the food you ate. Try to avoid eating at least two hours before bed.  However, if you need to eat late in the day, try foods that can help induce sleep. These foods include milk, almonds, oats, eggs, and bananas. Also try cherries or cherry juice. Cherries are one of the only foods that naturally contain melatonin, which is the hormone that encourages sleep. Drink a glass of cherry juice or eat a small bowl of cherries if you are hungry before bed. Exercise in the morning or early afternoon to work off your excess energy every day. However, make sure it is earlier in the day instead of late at night. If you exercise too late at night, the extra intensity and body activities will keep you up. If you do have to work out later in the day, choose less strenuous activities such as walking, stretching, or weight training. If you are struggling to fall asleep, don't stay in bed. Instead, get up from your bed to avoid additional frustration. Try to redo part of your nightly...

TL;DR in English: Avoid other activities in your bed. Drink less caffeine. Avoid heavy foods at night. Exercise earlier in the day. Try not to think about not being able to sleep. Reduce exposure to light.

If your piercing has shifted from its original site, you may be experiencing migration. Your piercing might have migrated if you notice constant soreness, a loose-hanging piercing, or a larger hole around the piercing. Migration and rejection are connected. Usually, migration is a symptom of rejection.  Although rejection usually happens to newer piercings, your body can still reject older piercings. Once your piercing starts migrating, it usually cannot be treated. Rejection is irreversible. In many cases, once your piercing has been rejected, you need to have the piercing removed. Talk to the person who pierced your ears and ask for their opinion. They might remove the piercing, or they might diagnose you with an infection and advise treatment. If you do have to remove the piercing, you can get the area re-pierced after it has healed. Return to a professional piercer between six months to a year after removal.

TL;DR in English: Recognize the signs of migration. Visit the place you got your piercing. Re-pierce in 6-12 months.

There are many models of Swiss Army knife, each with a unique set of included features. Each knife is designed for a certain type of user, from the casual urban bottle-opener to the serious survivalist. Knives fall into a few main categories: pocket knives, Swiss Army knives, and lock blade knives.  Some models include: classic, tinker, super tinker, angler, camper, huntsman, handyman, mechanic boy, rescue tool, and Swiss champ. They come in categories like everyday, sports and leisure, DIY, LED lights, outdoor, executive, gardening, multitool lights, and scouting. Read the manual. If you've just bought your Swiss Army knife, be sure to read about the tools that come with your particular knife model. Read about the repairs, maintenance, and correct functions of the tool. These knives are usually smaller than the standard model, and they contain fewer features. A pocket knife may contain all or some of the following tools:  Find the large blade, the nail file (with nail cleaner,) the scissors, and the key ring. Pull tweezers and a plastic toothpick from the end of the knife handle. Find the nail file, the end of which is a flat-head screwdriver. Look for a bottle opener with attached nail file. Unfold the Phillips screwdriver, and look for the wire stripper. Some pocket knives even feature a bright LED, a ballpoint pen, and a USB drive. This is the knife type with the most potential features. Some Swiss Army knifes come with as few as four tools, while others are packed with up to 38 unique functions. The standard model may contain all or some of the following tools:  Find the large blade and the small blade, the corkscrew, the key-ring, and the can opener. Pull tweezers and a toothpick from the end of the knife handle. Some knives include more delicate tools like a scissors, a magnifying glass, a sewing eye, a stainless steel pin, and a pressurized ballpoint pen.

Let the carpet sit for 24 hours in your home. Cut the carpet to size if you don't have space to do it in the room. Roll the carpet out. Place seaming tape underneath seams. Heat the tape with a seaming iron. Seal the seam with a carpet roller. Tack the carpet into place on one wall with a knee kicker. Stretch the carpet across the room and tack it on the other side. Secure the rest of the room with the knee kicker.

This will be the main part of your water feature. A wide opening is important here. You'll need 3/4" diameter bamboo cut long enough to fit over the opening of your pot. You'll also need a larger ~2" diameter piece of bamboo, cut to about 6" in length. Miter one end of this piece to create the spout. Using twine or string, lace the three narrow pieces of bamboo together into a platform which can be fit over the back half of the pot. Attach the larger piece of bamboo to the platform using glue, but attach it at an angle (using a wedge) so that the spout is angled down towards the center of the pot slightly. Place the pump at the bottom of the pot. Connect the tube and run it up and behind the platform. Place the end of the tube in the bamboo spout so that it goes about 2" in, and then tape the tube in place against the pot (not anywhere that will get wet). Add water into the pot and then start your pump. Everything should be working. Now you just have to make it pretty! Fill the bottom of the pot with river rocks and add some fake plants around the spout to cover up evidence of the pumps. Enjoy your new fountain!

Resigning in person is always the best and most respectful way to quit a job. However, in some cases doing so is not feasible. If your boss works far away, is away from the office for a long period of time, or has never met with you in person, a phone call is a perfectly acceptable method of resigning. You should always resign by phone rather than resigning by email. If time is a constraint, choose notifying your employer by phone immediately over doing it in person and not providing adequate notice. There's no point in embarrassing yourself with an overemotional appeal, or inflaming feelings at the head office. When you've decided you want to resign over the phone, pull yourself together and make an effort to do this politely. You'll often find you have a better chance of an amicable solution to your problems if you do this. Try to frame your decision to leave in a positive light, even if you are leaving for decidedly negative reasons. For example, try focusing on the opportunity afforded by your new position. Try calming yourself down with a couple of deep breaths. If that doesn't work, talk into a mirror to reassure yourself that you're making the right decision in leaving this role. When it's time to pick up the phone, you'll want to effectively reach someone with authority to make your resignation effective. You can try the human resources department directly, or call up your direct supervisor or manager. If your manager cannot be reached, try reaching out to their direct supervisor. Even if your resignation will be handled by HR, always let your own manager know first. This will give them adequate time to prepare for your absence. The standard throughout most of the working world is giving two weeks notice for resigning from a position. However, this will vary by employer and position. For example, some positions may require that you cease your duties immediately after tendering your resignation. This is usually to protect sensitive information. However, if no guidance as to resignation timing is...

TL;DR in English: Consider resigning in person. Calm down. Find direct channels of communication. Offer your two weeks notice. Be absolutely clear that you are resigning. Tell a story that explains why you are moving on. Consider providing a resignation letter.

Relax your jaw to make your speech a lot clearer with some exercises.  Make wide chewing motions while humming gently. Stretch every muscle in your jaw and face. Open your mouth as wide as possible (as if you were about to yawn), while moving your jaw in circles, and sideways. Open your mouth wide, as in the previous exercise, and shut it again. Repeat 5 times. Make a buzzing sound with your lips together, but don't clench your jaw. Just like breathing, your posture plays a large role in your speech clarity, and it's something that we sometimes forget to take into account.  For best speech clarity you should stand straight with your shoulders back and your weight evenly distributed. Do some shoulder rolls and standing side bends to help with your posture.These simple exercises will also help you with your breathing, and you can even do your jaw strengthening techniques while you stretch. Doing vocal warmups will loosen you up and prepare your voice so you can speak clearly and effectively.  Even if you're not singing, you can do some scales or just hum. Try singing your tongue twisters too. Do some “Whooos!” going up and down. Picture your voice like a ferris wheel going round and round. Hum and pat your chest. This can help knock out any phlegm you may have. When you clench your teeth you're causing a lot of strain on yourself and it can be a sign of stress. And speaking with a clenched jaw will prevent you from opening your mouth enough to enunciate and speak clearly. If you find yourself clenching your jaw, practice some of the warmups, and take a moment to take a deep breath slowly exhaling by letting your breath buff your cheeks out, as if you're letting air out of a balloon. Your vocal chords are like a machine that needs to stay well oiled. Gargle some lukewarm water with a pinch of salt to keep them limber. This helps relieve tension in the throat.

TL;DR in English: Practice jaw exercises to enhance clarity of speech. Watch your posture. Warm your vocal chords. Avoid speaking with clenched teeth. Stay hydrated.

It needs this time to adjust to the temperature and humidity in your home. That's because it may expand or shrink based on these conditions, so you want to make sure it's through with that process before you put it down. You can leave it rolled up during this time. If your room is small, you may not have enough floor space to bring the carpet in and cut it. Use the measurements you took earlier for the room to cut the carpet to size. Make sure to leave some extra on either end so you don't end up with a piece that's too short. Start in one corner of the room. Leave 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of excess on each side of the carpet up against the wall. Unroll the carpet roll, covering the floor and tack strips as you do. Line up carpet edges as needed to make seams and cover the whole floor. Check the texture of the carpet to make sure it's going the direction you want. When you come to a seam, lay seaming tape down on the floor. The sticky part should be facing up. Place the carpet seam over the tape, making sure both edges are covered. If possible, try to place seams in inconspicuous, low-traffic areas. Set your seaming iron to 2 or 3. Lift up the carpet on both sides so you can slide the seaming iron underneath the carpet and on top of the tape. Leave it in place for 8-10 seconds until the adhesive melts, then move it down. Press down on the part of the seam you just heated so the carpet sticks to the tape.. Run your thumbs over the very center of the seam to make sure it's in place. Then, use a carpet roller to go over it several times, running it back and forth along the seam. Do this as you heat each section, not at the very end.  A carpet roller is a small roller that looks a little like a painting roller. Wait 20 minutes after doing seams before tacking and stretching it. Keep moving down the seam this way until it's stuck in place Place the tooth edge of the knee kicker on the carpet near the wall in a corner. Put it about 3 inches (7.6 cm) out from the wall.

Do not blame your loved one for suffering from conversion disorder. Recognize the symptoms. Identify who it affects.

First, keep track of your spending for an entire month, and make note of where your money is going. Add up how much you’re spending for housing, transportation, groceries, bills, utilities, childcare, and any other expenses. Break them into categories to see where you’re spending the most money.  There are many apps to keep track of how much money you spend, including Mint, LearnVest, and LevelMoney. It might also be helpful to compare what you’re spending to what you’re making currently. This will help you see if you’re spending more than you’re making, and will show you where the bulk of your money is going. Look at where your money is going and identify what things aren’t essential for you and your child. Come up with cheaper alternatives for some things, and consider taking on a part-time job or selling items that you don’t use if you aren’t making enough money to support your spending on essential items.  For example, if you find that you spend $70 per week eating out at restaurants, you might want to lower that amount to $30, or cut it out completely. Otherwise, you will have to pull money from somewhere else in your budget. If you find that you still have less money than you need, consider talking to your boss about getting a raise or moving into a higher-paying position. You may have more responsibilities, but it will give you more space in your budget. Create an ideal budget with all of the necessary categories, and set a limit for your spending that is lower than what you’re already spending. Try to stick to the budget as closely as possible, and leave a little bit of space for unexpected costs, like car repairs, house maintenance, or replacing worn-out clothes. If possible, start saving money to build an “emergency fund” to cover 3 months of expenses in case you aren’t able to work or lose your job. This will ensure that you have time to get back on your feet without having to worry about money during those months. If you find yourself frequently forgetting to pay your bills due to a hectic...

TL;DR in English: Use an app or spreadsheet to find out how much money you’re spending. Consider ways that you could make more money or spend less money. Adhere to a budget that includes all of your monthly expenses. Keep a calendar that includes due dates for bills. Involve your child in the budgeting process if they’re old enough to understand.

Raw garlic is an antifungal, and can be used to kill Aspergillus niger.  Raw garlic contains allicin, a natural compound that has strong antifungal properties and can kill a wide variety of fungus, including Aspergillus niger. Eat 2-3 raw garlic cloves every meal to sufficiently treat Aspergillus niger. You can also take garlic as a non-odorous capsule three times a day. It's fungicidal effects become apparent when the allicin is absorbed by your stomach and intestines, and then into your bloodstream. The root of goldenseal is commonly used as a wound disinfectant for minor cuts, but can also be used as an effective antifungal.  Goldenseal can treat Aspergillus niger when taken orally, or applied topically on infected skin. Goldenseal also enhances the antifungal effects of other antifungal agents, making it sought after as an antifungal herbal remedy. Goldenseal is taken as a capsule, usually one capsule twice a day. It can also be used as a tincture for infected cuts and wounds in your skin. Olive oil contains a strong antifungal compound, derived from olives, called oleuropein.  Oleuropein is a strong agent against fungus like Aspergillus niger. Olives are special as an antifungal agent because instead of killing Aspergillus niger immediately, the oleuropein first disrupts the reproductive ability of the fungus. This quickly halts the spread of Aspergillus niger. Then, it cuts off the food supply of the fungus, eradicating Aspergillus niger. Olive oil can be taken orally, by mixing it with your food, or as a topical treatment on skin wounds. A safe and effective intake of olive oil is 25 to 40 mL in a day. Coconut oil contains lauric, capric, and caprylic acids, which have potent antifungal characteristics.  Regular intake of coconut oil also acts as a mild natural laxative that can kill and flush out Aspergillus niger in your digestive system. A recommended antifungal dose of coconut oil is 3 - 6 tablespoons a day or 45 – 90 mL of coconut oil integrated in your food as part of your diet.

TL;DR in English: Use garlic cloves. Apply goldenseal. Try olive oil or extract. Use coconut oil.

To start the process, dip a 3 in (7.6 cm) paintbrush into your paint of choice.  Move the brush along the ceiling in one continuous direction, painting a 3 in (7.6 cm) margin of the ceiling.  Use a ladder to reach the ceiling.  Place your bucket of paint on top of it.  If the ceiling corners you wish to paint are too tall to reach with a ladder, erect scaffolding. Paint the edge of the ceiling as thickly as possible without the paint dripping.  If the ceiling is textured, push your brush into the grooves to ensure all the nooks and crannies get painted. When you reach the corner of the wall, begin painting another continuous margin along the adjoining wall, heading away from the corner.  Use your paintbrush to paint this strip, too.  This second margin along the ceiling should be just as wide as the first strip you painted. After painting a strip of paint across the entire perimeter of the ceiling, dip your loaded roller into the paint of your choice.  Roll it towards the ceiling corner you’re interested in painting in such a way that it overlaps a bit with the area you just painted with the paintbrush.  Roll in one direction toward the opposite side of the room.  Back roll over the overlap to avoid leaving lines on the ceiling. Do not place the roller directly overhead or you risk dripping paint on yourself. Use a roller with a nap of more than ½ inch (one centimeter). You’ll be able to tell that you need more paint on your loaded roller when you notice that it is no longer applying paint evenly to the ceiling.  When this happens, dip—but do not submerge—your roller in paint. Don’t let the roller get too dry or you’ll end up with lines on the ceiling.

TL;DR in English: Use a paintbrush to paint towards the corner. Paint away from the corner. Paint toward the corner with a loaded roller. Reload your roller with paint as needed.

Take care of yourself throughout the stress of coping with your loved one's recovery. Remember that your loved one is suffering: conversion disorder is a mental condition where someone manifests psychological stress through physical symptoms. It is preceded by some kind of traumatic event that is either emotionally or mentally taxing.  People who have conversion disorder are not faking or making up their symptoms. Their symptoms are real and should be treated that way. The symptoms are involuntary. Your loved one did not make them happen and cannot help their body's physical response. Though they may be due to psychological stress, the symptoms are real and affect the person. If you are struggling with anger or resentment due to your loved one's condition, seek individual therapy or a support group. Symptoms of conversion disorder occur suddenly after a traumatic or stressful event. The event may be physical, like a car crash, or psychological. Symptoms are physical and often affect the limbs or senses. Common symptoms include:  Paralysis Weakness, especially in the limbs Tremors, convulsions, or seizures Difficulty walking, loss of balance, or lack of coordination Difficulty swallowing Unresponsiveness Numbness or loss of the sense of touch Inability to speak, slurred speech, or stuttering Blindness Deafness For example, someone may fall off a horse and develop a paralyzed leg, get into a car accident and develop a paralyzed arm, or experience a battle during war and lose the ability to speak, walk, or hear. Conversion disorder is a rare mental illness. Those who develop conversion disorder often go through an extreme event that causes a lot of psychological stress. Examples of situations that may cause conversion disorder include injury, death of someone close, dangerous situation, or trauma that results in no harm to the person. A person may develop conversion disorder if they are in a car accident but don’t get hurt, especially if others are hurt. Soldiers who have been involved in combat but did not get...

There are three common types of resumes: chronological, functional, and combination. Figure out what type of resume you want to write before working on your resume.  A chronological resume lists your work in reverse chronological order, starting with your most recent position and working backwards. It's main advantages are that it's easy to read and allows employers to get a sense of the full scope of your work history. However, it also highlights any employment gaps so you should refrain from using this resume type if you have gaps in your work history. It's best used to emphasize career growth over time and how you've developed a specific skill set in one career path.  A functional resume focuses on skills and strengths that may be important to potential employers. It omits dates, places, and timeframes in order to downplay a work history with a lot of employment gaps. It can allow you to highlight specific strengths and skills that may be hidden in a chronological resume, but many employers dislike this kind of resume as they feel you're intentionally trying to hide employment gaps, underemployment, or a lack of a career progression. It's best to only use a functional resume if you're a new graduate or a changing careers or looking for freelance work.  A combination resume is some combination of a functional and chronological resume. It usually includes a chronological work history and also a separate section highlight specific skill sets, volunteer work, and any relevant coursework.  This is a great resume type to use if you're making a career change but have a lot of experience applicable to your new career. However, do not use this type of resume if you have limited experience as employers may think you're trying to obscure a spotty work history. There is certain basic information every resume should include. When writing a resume, make sure to include the following:  Your contact information, like your name, phone number, address, and e-mail, should be included. Spell out abbreviated words, such as...

There are a number of techniques that can help you cope with your anxiety. One is problem solving. When you are confronted with an anxiety-inducing problem, come up with a plan for solving it, and then implement that plan. Afterwards, consider how well the plan worked. Another skill that helps with anxiety is mindfulness. When you are feeling anxious, focus on the sensations associated with your anxiety instead of trying to push them away. This can help you become more accepting of your anxiety, rather than letting it overwhelm you. The purpose for this is twofold. First, you'll no longer be embarrassed by your secret fear. This will help you start to deal with the anxiety. Second, you'll be able to ask others for help, especially when you get stuck. Consider attending a self-help group for people facing similar fears. You might benefit from talking with and supporting others experiencing the same challenges you are. Sometimes, it is easier to face your fears knowing that you are not the only one. Your family and friends may not understand what you are going through, but the people in the self-help group may. The people in that group may also offer up advice on how they managed or overcame their phobias. Some of that advice might work for you as well. Different people have different learning methods. Some people learn better through experiences, while others must read and analyze the material. Some books might even focus on certain types of phobias. Some people might need additional help overcoming their phobias, especially if it that gets in the way of their daily lives. For example, an extreme fear of open spaces or talking to people, might prevent someone from going out to a store and buying food and other necessities. This can be especially helpful when you are trying to face your phobia. Consider using any of the following essential oil: bergamot, chamomile, jasmine, lavender, or ylang ylang. Here are some ways in which you can use essential oils:  Mix a few drops of essential oil into a carrier oil,...

TL;DR in English: Develop anxiety management skills. Talk to a friend, family member, or someone you trust about your phobia. Try joining a self-help group. Read a self-help book. Consider seeking help from a psychologist. Use essential oils to reduce stress, tension, and create a feeling of calm. Recite a mantra. Get a massage.

Naps may help you feel rested in-the-moment, but they can actually prevent you from sleeping soundly at night. Try as hard as you can to stop napping during the day. Take it easy and give yourself a rest if you need to, but don't fall asleep. If you absolutely must nap, try to do so for around 20 minutes. Little power naps may help give you an energy boost without keeping you awake at night. Black cohosh is an herbal remedy that has been shown to reduce a number of menopausal symptoms including night sweats and sleep disruption. Take a supplement of dried black cohosh every day to get the greatest benefit. Remember to talk to your doctor before you start any new supplement or herbal treatments. Drinking too much caffeine or alcohol can all mess with your sleep schedule. Try to minimize the amount of caffeine and alcohol you drink, especially in the hours right before bed. If you feel like you need a caffeine boost, try to stick to a single cup of morning coffee or tea. Eating a big meal may make you feel tired, but it can actually disrupt your ability to sleep soundly at night. Try to eat dinner at least 3-4 hours before your planned bedtime. This gives your body time to work through your meal before you go to sleep. If you know certain foods, such as spicy foods, give you headaches or cause gastrointestinal distress, avoid these completely during dinner. If you have a craving for a spicy dish that you just can't kick, try eating it at lunch instead.

TL;DR in English: Stop napping during the day. Take a 200 mg black cohosh supplement. Minimize your intake of caffeine and alcohol. Eat dinner at least a few hours bedtime.

While we do not recommend buying frozen crab - the taste won't be as strong - if you chose a frozen crab it needs to thaw. You can thaw it by placing it whole in a sink of cool water. You don't want to leave your crab in the water too long - 15 to 20 minutes should be sufficient. The first thing you want to do with crab is give it a good scrub down. Crabs are not known to be hygienic animals, and the waters where they are caught are usually not very clean. It's recommended you use a scrubbing brush with a handle, as this tool is easy to maneuver and can be used with a fair amount of force.  Wear a pair of dish gloves, especially if your crab is live. It will likely try to fight back by pinching and flailing and the gloves can protect your hands. Dump the crab in the sink. If you have more than one crab, clean them one at a time. If your crab is live, try to make sure it's back is turned to you so it does not attack. You can do this by distracting the crab or, if you're brave enough, simply turning it around by force. Turn on the water with one hand and pin the crab with the other. Crabs are fairly strong. If your crab is live, do not hesitate to use the full force of your body to restrain it. Scrub the top part of your crab with your scrub brush. Use a lot of force here to make sure you get all the dirt and grime off the crab. Now that your crab's topside is good and clean, it's time to clean the other half. Flip the crab over. This task can be intimidating, but remember - your crab is likely disoriented from the washing process. It is less likely to resist. Give the underside and legs a good scrub, once again using a good deal of pressure. You might want to hold onto some of its legs as you work, just as precaution in case the crab tries to pinch.

Choose any color of a print or solid cotton or flannel fabric to use for a crib sheet. Cotton works well for any season, while flannel is ideal for colder weather.  Try making sheets in a color that complements your crib or nursery, such as aqua and white if your nursery will feature these colors. If you are giving the crib sheet as a gift, opt for a pastel-colored print or solid fabric, such as pale yellow, mint green, lavender, light pink, and baby blue. Pre-washing will help to ensure that the fabric will not shrink after you sew it, which could make the sheet unusable. Wash the fabric on a normal wash cycle alone or with like colors and fabrics. Then, dry the fabric in a dryer.  If desired, you may also iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles before you sew. However, this is not necessary. Use a laundry detergent that has been formulated specifically for babies. Avoid detergents that contain harsh chemicals, dyes, and perfumes.

TL;DR in English: Purchase 2 yd (1.8 m) of cotton or flannel fabric. Pre-wash the fabric to ensure that it will not shrink.

Paint or makeup can clog the nozzle and needle inside of your airbrush if it’s left inside. If you need to switch the colors you’re applying or you’re done with your application, then take a few minutes to clean the airbrush. Look for airbrush cleaning solution at hobby stores or online. Fill the airbrush cup half full with the cleaning solution so it travels through your airbrush. Let the solution sit inside the stylus cup for 10-15 seconds so it breaks down any paint or makeup left inside. If you want to save your cleaning solution, you can dilute it with equal parts water. If there’s paint or makeup stuck on the side of the airbrush cup, dip the bristles of a paintbrush or the end of a cotton swab into the solution. Scrape the sides of the cup with the swab so it mixes with the solution and runs through the stylus. You may not need to use a cotton swab or paintbrush if nothing is sticking on the sides. Make sure the airbrush is still connected to the compressor so you can spray it. Point the nozzle of your airbrush inside an empty cup and press down on the nozzle so the solution goes through the stylus. Keep the trigger pressed down until the cup is empty. Only use about 10-15 PSI while you’re cleaning your airbrush so it sprays evenly. Refill the cup on the stylus and check if it changes color. If the cleaning solution changes at all, then there is still makeup or paint inside of the airbrush. Press down on the trigger again to empty the cup and spray the cleaner through the stylus. Once the cleaner is clear when you put it in the cup, you can stop cleaning and put your airbrush away.

TL;DR in English: Clean your airbrush whenever you change materials or when you’re finished. Pour airbrush cleaning solution into the stylus cup. Loosen paint in the airbrush cup with a cotton swab or paintbrush. Spray the cleaning solution through the airbrush into a container. Continue running cleaning solution through the stylus until it’s clear.

Looking at someone while they talk shows the person that you respect them.  It also shows that you are listening to them and engaged in the conversation.  If the person you are speaking with already has trouble carrying a conversation, they will not feel comfortable to try to speak with you if you look like you don’t care.  Avoid looking beyond the person to other people walking by.  Also try to keep the eye contact warm and inviting rather than overly intense. If the person you are talking to starts to warm up a little bit and participates in the conversation more, be sure to allow them to reciprocate with asking you some questions.  You don’t want to fire question after question at them as it will come across like you are interviewing or interrogating them.  Be open and willing to answer any questions they may have for you as well. An important aspect of being a good conversationalist is being a good listener.  As you carry the conversation and encourage the other person to talk, be sure that you are listening attentively to what they say when they do speak up.  When they do respond, give them positive feedback so that they are encouraged to continue joining in.  For example:  “That's an interesting way of looking at it!  I never thought of it that way before.” “Wow, where did you learn so much about astronomy?” “I’ve always wanted to learn more about that historical period.  Do you have any book recommendations?” Another technique to keep the conversation going is called conversation threading.  This is where you dissect each statement a person makes into parts, and then choose a part to follow up with to keep the conversation going.  This will help you to respond to their comments without coming across as interrogative.  For example:  If a person says, “I just got back from Germany and I’m completely jet-lagged, but I’m supposed to have a meeting tomorrow morning” you have three conversation threads from which you can choose to follow up with: why they went abroad, the fact that they are jet lagged, and...

Unless your car is on fire, it’s very important to stay inside your car once a power line falls. When a power line falls on your car, it often charges the metal parts of the car with electrical current, meaning that if you attempt to exit as you normally do, you will be electrocuted.  After the line falls, look around the inside of your car and out the windows. If you don’t see flames or smoke, you aren’t in any immediate danger. The safest thing you can do is to stay inside. If you see flames and smoke, refer to Method 2 for instructions on safely evacuating the car. If there are other passengers in the car, communicate with them that the safest thing to do is to stay inside the car. Even one person exiting the car incorrectly could put you all in danger of electrocution. Sit still in your car with your hands in your lap. Take extra care not to touch the frame of your car, which is very possibly charged with electrical current. As long as you stay still and don’t touch the frame of your car, you are safe inside your car. Use your cell phone to call 911. Give them your address, and tell that that a power line fell on your car. They will likely give you some advice such as staying inside the car, but if they give you specific pieces of advice make sure to follow them. If you notice cars coming behind you or approaching the power line from the opposite lane, honk your horn to signal to them that they should not get near the line.  If anyone gets out of their car to investigate or try to help you, shout over to them that they should not touch your car or get anywhere near the fallen power line. If you don’t have your cell phone on you and weren’t able to dial 911, ask anyone who approaches if they will call 911 for you. Do not have them hand you the phone; instead, tell them to call 911, explain the situation, and provide the address of the downed line. Once the dispatchers arrive to the scene, they will approach the car and possibly ask questions or give you instructions. Follow whatever advice they give you,...

TL;DR in English: Stay inside the car if possible. Don’t touch the inside of the car. Call 911. Warn people not to touch the car or power line. Follow the police’s directions.

Then, get 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least 5 days a week. For instance, go on a brisk walk, run, join a team sport, take a dance class, or do a video workout. meals based on fresh produce and lean protein. You don’t need to go on an extreme diet to look your best. Instead, focus on eating foods that are healthy for your body. Fill half your plate with fresh produce, 1/4 of your plate with a lean protein, and 1/4 of your plate with a complex carbohydrate. This will help you feel great and will nourish your body to keep it healthy. For instance, eat an egg white and veggie omelet with a side of fruit for breakfast, eat tuna fish and a leafy green salad with tomatoes and cucumbers for lunch, and eat grilled chicken with a sweet potato and roasted veggies for dinner. Processed foods and sugary treats add extra calories to your diet but don’t contain nutrients. Don’t worry about cutting these foods out of your diet if you enjoy them. However, eat them in moderation so that your diet is balanced. For instance, you might enjoy a treat or your favorite processed snack over the weekend.

To read a person's pulse, place your index and middle fingers on the person's radial artery. This artery is on the inside of the wrist, closest to the thumb. When pressing, you should be able to feel the heartbeat using a firm but light pressure. Pressing to hard may only complicate your reading. Count the number of heartbeats in 30 seconds and multiply by 2 for beats per minute. You can also count the beats over 60 seconds, if you prefer. Instead of feeling for a pulse, you can also listen with a stethoscope to the heartbeat, still counting the beats in 30 seconds. Each "lub-dub" of the heart counts for a single beat, not 2. In addition, blood pressure machines also read pulse, and most clinics and hospitals also have a finger monitor that can check pulse rates.  For a typical adult, the pulse should be between 60 and 80 beats per minute. To check for the respiratory rate, count the number of times a person breathes in a minute. One full cycle of inhaling and exhaling counts as a single breath. If you're doing it on someone else, you can simply watch how many times their chest rises and count. Normal respiration is generally 12 to 16 breaths per minute for an adult. If you come upon a person in a emergency, you'll need to check to see if the person is breathing and if they have a heartbeat. To check for breathing, watch the person's chest, listen close to the person's mouth, and feel their chest to see if they are breathing. To check for a pulse, place your index finger and middle finger on their carotid artery, which is in the middle of the neck between the neck muscle and windpipe. Hold your fingers there to see if you feel a pulse. If the person isn't breathing or doesn't have a heartbeat, you'll need to begin CPR. If the person isn't breathing and they're on their back, first try to tilt their head back, which may move the tongue out of the way.

TL;DR in English: Read the person's pulse manually. Use other methods to take a pulse. Count breaths for the respiratory rate. Check for a pulse and breathing in an emergency.

All of the facials below are suitable for oily skin; some of them may also help clear up acne. Do not try all of the masks all in one day, however; it will be too much for your skin. Instead, choose a mask that appeals the most to you, and start with that one. Mix together 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of honey, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg. Spread the mask over your face, taking care to avoid the eye area, and wait 20 minutes. Wash the mask off using warm water and a washcloth. If you have sensitive skin, try the mask on your inner elbow first, or don't leave it on for as long. In a food processor or blender, combine ½ of a cucumber with 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of honey. Spread the mask all over your face, and wait 20 minutes. Wash the mask off using warm water and a washcloth. For an even more effective mask, add 1 teaspoon of bentonite or kaoline clay. Lean your face over a bowl of hot, steamy water for a few minutes to help open up your pores. Then, mix together 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of honey and the juice from half of a lemon. Spread the mixture over your face, taking extra care to avoid the eye area. Wait 15 to 30 minutes, then wash the mask off with warm water. Finish off by splashing your face with cool water and applying some moisturizer, if needed.   Lemon is great for reducing blackheads and acne. It may also help even out skin tone. Honey helps fight acne because it is naturally antibacterial. Lemon juice can be harsh. If you have sensitive skin, you may need to wash it off after 10 to 15 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of ground oatmeal, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of yogurt. Gently massage the mask onto your face using circular motions, then leave it there for 15 minutes. Wash the mask off using warm water, then splash your face with cool water to help close the pores. If you need to, follow up with some moisturizer.  Yogurt helps fight acne because it contains probiotic enzymes.  Honey helps fight acne because of its antimicrobial...

TL;DR in English: Choose a facial from the list below that best suits your needs. Try a cinnamon and nutmeg mask if you have oily skin. Try a cooling cucumber mask if you have oily or inflamed skin.

The best place to work is outside. If you can't work outside, open up a window or turn on a fan. Bleach can get stinky and cause headaches if you don't have enough fresh air. Spread some newspapers, a plastic tablecloth, or some old towels over your work surface. This will help protect it from getting stained. If your shoes are dirty, you may not see the effects of the bleach as well. If necessary, wash your shoes in a bucket of soap and water, and let them dry.

TL;DR in English: Work in a well-ventilated area. Protect your work surface. Try to work on clean shoes.

A black jacket or sweater paired with a camel-colored beret will create a great sense of contrast. This is an especially great look if you have light to medium brown hair. Berets are usually a cold weather accessory, so you’re likely to be wearing a coat along with your beret. Pull your look together by matching the color of your beret to the color of your coat. You can match colors exactly, or just use similar shades. For example, you can pair a bright red beret and coat together. Or you can pair a blue coat with blue beret in a lighter shade. An unexpected bright, bold color can add just the right amount of pop to an outfit. You’ll get the most impact if you pair a bright beret with muted, neutral tones, but you pair your bold beret with similar colors in your clothing. For example, if you're wearing an all-black or neutral outfit, add a bright red beret. If you’re planning on wearing your beret regularly, matching it your hair color ensures that it always looks coordinated. Blondes should choose white or beige berets, brunettes should choose brown berets, and anyone with black hair should choose black berets. Matching the beret with a feminine look makes the beret itself look more feminine. You can match the color of your beret to your outfit, or use contrasting colors. For example, you can pair your beret with a billowy dress and flats, or a delicate blouse and heels. The slouchiness of a beret matches an oversized sweater well. Pair them with slim pants and flats shoes to balance your outfit. For example, you can pair a cream-colored beret with a an oversized cream-colored sweat and black skinny jeans or leggings.

The visa lets you travel to a port of entry and ask for permission to be admitted. Your visa doesn’t give you a right to enter. A Customs and Border Protection official will ask you questions about your stay before deciding whether to admit you. Once admitted, you’ll receive a paper Form I-94 or an admission stamp. The form or stamp will tell you when you must leave the U.S. A tourist visa allows you to visit friends and relatives, rest, or receive medical treatment. You can also participate in activities of a fraternal or social nature or participate in contests as an amateur. However, you can’t do any of the following:  You can’t study in a school. Instead, you should get a student visa. You can’t work a job. Instead, you should seek a work visa. You can’t receive payment for performances or perform professionally in front of a paying audience. You can’t seek permanent residence in the U.S. You can undertake business activities, such as negotiating a contract or consulting with business associates. Instead, get a B-1 business visa. You must leave by the date on your I-94 or admission stamp. This date probably is earlier than the date your visa expires. If you don’t leave on time, then you will be out of status, which can seriously hurt your chances of getting a visa to the U.S. in the future. You might choose to stay longer, or you might be forced to because of an accident or medical emergency. Extend your stay by filing Form I-539. Download the form and read the instructions here:  https://www.uscis.gov/i-539. You should file at least 45 days before your stay expires.  You can get an extension if your visa or authorized stay has expired. However, you must have compelling circumstances, such as a medical injury that prevented you from filing for an extension on time. After you submit your form, you will receive a receipt. This receipt will tell you how to check on the status of your extension request.

TL;DR in English: Present your visa at a port of entry. Don’t violate your visa. Leave on time. Extend your stay.

eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, lip-gloss, foundation, and blush. She makes it look natural to bring out her features and doesn't overdo it. Natural makeup is important. If you use too much, you will either look like a clown, an LBR, or somebody else - not yourself. As the queen herself always says, "Your beauty must seem effortless, or people will stop wanting to be you." Massie always makes sure she has a clean mouth (because bad breath turns people away!) Make sure your teeth are white too. If your teeth are stained, use whitening strips or a whitening toothpaste. Using an electric toothbrush (like the Spin-brush) helps because it removes more plaque more efficiently than manual toothbrushes.  If you have braces, get clear bands so they are less noticeable. You could also pick some pretty colors. Be careful with green; it might look like there's something stuck in your teeth (ex: salad).  Chew teeth-whitening gum and always have mints on hand. Even though Massie may have the money to afford a new wardrobe, you may not. You could go to Aerie, Wet Seal, Ross or find clothes elsewhere that at least look designer. Marshalls is a good place to shop. You can create runway-worthy outfits even if they're not designer.  Stores like TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack also have discounted designer clothes. Read "Teen Vogue" and "Seventeen" to know what’s in style and what's not. If there's anything Massie-like that's truly worth the splurge - and that you know you'll like it even after your Massie phase - make sure to get it if you have enough money.  Hobos and satchels work best, for they are perfect for storing anything and everything! Small purses or cute clutches can also be considered handbags and are probably a better idea for going out. However, make sure you don't overpack. Keep your cell phone in your bag in an easy place to reach at all times; an alpha never ignores a call or text. Always keep in your bag:  Your favorite flavor of lip gloss Your cards Pictures A mirror/compact Time of month things (pads, diva cup or...

TL;DR in English: Massie wears the full out makeup: Alwaysbrush your teeth. Shop for clothes at the right places. Get a designer purse, and wear it everywhere. Your purse is like your room, but in a bag!

Making bright or deep red frosting can be difficult, but the color of the icing will deepen as time passes. It's best to prepare the frosting 24 to 72 hours before you'll need it so the color can set. This is especially important if you want pure red frosting made with only red food coloring, but the same trick can also apply to red variations if they aren't as deep in color as you'd like. When you need to create dark or bright shades of red, the amount of dye used can cause the icing to become bitter.  Taste-testing the icing as you work will allow you to monitor the change in flavor and prevent too much bitterness from developing. If the icing does become bitter, however, you can usually fix it by adding more flavoring. Stick with clear extracts, and use roughly 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) per 1 cup (250 ml) of icing.

TL;DR in English: Make the frosting early. Periodically taste the icing.

Clean and slice the mushrooms. Check the weather. Find a good location for drying. Arrange the mushrooms for drying. Place the mushrooms in the site you selected for the drying area.

There are advantages to both options depending on how much you are prepared to care for it. Too much soil or fertilization can actually harm your plant. However, if you are using tap water and it has fluoride and other chemicals, you may want to use soil and fertilizer to prevent yellow tips.  If you are growing it in standing water, you will need some pebbles to hold it upright. If in soil, try mixing a third each of sand, peat moss, and regular soil to ensure excellent drainage. For water only, make sure that your plant has at least enough to cover the base of the roots. You should also change the water at least once per week to prevent the plant from rotting. It is a good idea to rinse the vase, pebbles, and plant each time you do this. If you are growing the plant in soil, water the plant just enough so that the soil is moist. Your pot should be about 2 inches (5 cm) larger in diameter than the plant. Most Lucky Bamboo plants already come in a pot, but you can use your own pot to make the plant more your own.  A clear container works well for water and will show off your plant and pebbles, but make sure that you keep it out of direct sunlight. You can also use a ceramic pot and grow it in either pure water or in soil. If you use soil, plant the bamboo in a pot with a drain hole. Too much fertilizer is worse than none at all, so use it sparingly. This is especially true of potted plants because the fertilizer will not become diluted by rain and can’t run off like it will for plants in the ground.

TL;DR in English: Decide between water or soil. Choose the right container. Add a very light fertilizer periodically for quicker growth.

The surest upsell is to offer additional related items for something a customer is already purchasing. If the customer is buying the first book in the Narnia series, suggest the second as well: "When you finish that, trust me, you're going to want to start right in on the second. I could hardly wait!" You might also suggest things like bookmarks, or other related items.  Consider the things you would want if you were the customer making this purchase - if you bought a camera, you would want to buy an extra battery, a case to carry it in, extra flash card and a card reader so you could get your pictures off to your computer, all the things necessary to create the best possible experience with the product. In a wholesale setting, try to find out everything you can about the customer's business and offer other related products. Appeal to most wholesalers desire to simplify and give them the option to get everything they need from one place--your place. Not all products are equal, and especially in the sale of higher-end items, it's good to guide the customer through different features, highlighting the benefits of more-expensive items. Even with books, you might consider selling the Narnia customer on the full box-set of books, with detailed pictures and maps in a handsome box.  Make it practical for the customer. If you're trying to sell a college student on a computer, they're likely interested in something with a good video card, something durable and lightweight, something with a good warranty. An expensive, but on-sale desktop with a super-high amount of RAM probably isn't a smart upsell, even if the features are, in your opinion, "better" if the customer clearly wants a laptop. In a wholesale setting, you might consider different size orders that would give the customer the same product at a better deal. Bulk items generally come with a benefit, so it's a good idea to highlight the long-term price benefit in making the bigger buy now instead of waiting to come back for more. What's the difference between...

TL;DR in English: Upsell accessories. Upsell features. Upsell quality. Be specific and offer a variety of options. Make the items real.

Whether you want to buy something new or use something you already have at home is totally up to you. Materials that work well for this type of project are: blankets, sheets, drop-cloths, and tablecloths. For a standard 7-foot sofa (2.1 m), you’ll need about 14 yards (13 m). You’ll also need an extra 1.5 yards (1.4 m) for each additional cushion over 2. Remove any pillows from the couch, but leave the cushions in place. Figure out which way the fabric needs to go so that the couch is fully covered on all sides. If the material you chose doesn’t seem like it will cover everything, consider buying a really large drop-cloth so that you can cut it down to size. Remember that there needs to be a lot of fabric available to tuck into the crevices of the couch, so don’t be afraid to make generous cuts. The back piece of fabric should cover the back and sides of the couch, and it should reach the ground on the sides and in the back. The piece for the seat of the couch should be large enough to fully cover the seat covers and get tucked in securely all around the edges. Because the edges of the material will be hidden from sight, it doesn’t matter if they’re a little ragged or uneven. Remove the fabric for the seat of the couch as well as the seat cushions so they don’t get in your way. Arrange the material over the back and sides of the couch and start tucking the material down into the couch’s crevices. If you want to secure the material in place even more, use a staple gun around the inside edges of the arms and back of the couch. For now, don’t worry about the outer edges of the fabric. Once you have everything in place, you’ll secure those with velcro strips. Replace the seat cushions and lay the second piece of material over top of them. Tuck the fabric as firmly as possible all around the sides and the back. For the front of the couch, tuck the material underneath the cushions about 6 inches (15 cm) or so, but leave enough fabric hanging down to cover the front of the couch so the original fabric isn’t visible...

TL;DR in English: Pick a material to use for your no-sew cover. Lay the material overtop of your couch to determine where to cut it. Cut out a piece of fabric for the seat and for the back of the couch. Position and secure the fabric for the back of the couch. Cover the seat of the couch and tuck the edges into the crevices of the sofa. Secure the fabric edges to the bottom of the couch with velcro strips.

As listed above, you should only clean mushrooms with a brush or a dry towel. Don’t use water, as water logging the mushrooms may cause outside mold or fungi to grow. Cut the mushrooms into slices 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Try this method for preserving mushrooms only on sunny days with very low humidity. If there is too much humidity in the air, it will take much longer for the mushrooms to dry and mold may begin to grow. Possibilities include sunny rooms, windowsills, or flat rooftops that have air circulation. Pick a spot where birds, animals, bugs, and moisture can't touch the mushrooms. There are two options for this. You can either lay the mushrooms on a drying rack, or you can string them up with cooking string.  On a drying rack: Lay the mushrooms flat in one layer. Make sure that none of them are overlapping as they might get stuck together while drying, or may warp into weird shapes. Cover the mushrooms and drying rack in a ‘net tent’ which you can get at most kitchen supply stores. The net tent will keep the bugs away. If you don’t have a net tent, you can simply use a piece of mesh fabric draped over and under the dry rack and mushrooms.     With cooking string: Lace the cooking string through the mushrooms. You can use a sterilized needle to do this. Simply run the needle through a flame to sterilize it. Then string the mushrooms along the string as if you were making a bead necklace.    If you are using the cooking string method, hang them somewhere dry and in the sun. Allow the mushrooms to dry in the sun for one or two days. Check their progress several times each day. Consider finishing the mushrooms in the oven if they aren't totally dry after approximately two days in the sun. Read Method One of this article to learn how to do this.

If you are sending an email to a co-working about a project, make sure to put the title of the project in the subject line. That way your co-worker will know what it is about and can prioritize it as necessary. You could write “quick question re: lunch meeting” if you are

Include a subject line. Keep the subject line short. Write something catchy. Include important details.

If you're planning a sit-down dinner, seating can grow to be a bit of headache so it pays to focus on it early enough.  The bride and groom can sit at the dais or raised platform at whatever goes for being the "front" of the room. The bridal party sits with them and they all face the rest of the room. This is not as popular as it once was, as placing the table amid the guests is beginning to take on a more acceptable and modern feel. Parents tend to be seated with other, or they can have respective family and friends at their tables. Elderly people shouldn't be seated too near anything that makes noise. Consider using place cards to help people know where they're going to sit. It's not essential but it can be very helpful. In doing this, take great pains to avoid seating people who don't get along next to one another!

TL;DR in English: Work out seating.

Keep a notebook of when your dog relieves himself, when his symptoms occur, when he eats and drinks, and so on. This helps to establish a pattern to the symptoms. It can also be a very useful tool for the veterinarian to diagnose your dog’s illness.  If your dog is mildly sick (not eating the best for a day, restless, vomiting once or twice, a bout of diarrhea) you can carefully observe your dog at home and phone your vet for advice. There are several severe symptoms that require immediate medical attention. Never wait on these symptoms and call your vet right away:  Unconsciousness Profuse bleeding Known ingestion of a toxic substance Unrelenting vomiting and diarrhea Broken bones Breathing difficulties Seizures that don’t stop within one minute Unable to urinate or not producing urine New or recurring symptoms in a dog with a medical condition (diabetes, Addison’s disease, etc.) Large swellings around the face, eyes or throat Some symptoms of illness can be uncomfortable for dog and may indicate conditions that need to be treated. Call your vet to get advice on treating the following symptoms:  Isolated seizure that lasts less than one minute Occasional vomiting and diarrhea lasting longer than one day Fever Lethargy lasting longer than one day Not eating for more than one day Difficulty defecating Limping or acting painful Excessive drinking Swelling that comes on gradually Lumps or bumps that suddenly appear or current ones that grow Any other odd symptom or behavior (shivering or whimpering)

TL;DR in English: Monitor your dog's daily activity. Seek prompt veterinary attention with certain symptoms. Get advice from your vet on less severe symptoms.

Cluster C personality disorders are defined by fear and anxiety. Avoidant personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder all belong to Cluster C. Does your partner avoid interacting with other people, get very upset when criticized, and avoid emotional intimacy in their relationship with you? If so, they may have avoidant personality disorder. People with this disorder have a fragile sense of self and are afraid of rejection. This causes many of them to isolate themselves socially. Don’t confuse avoidant personality disorder with introversion. Introversion is normal, and it doesn’t usually interfere with a person’s ability to function. Someone with avoidant personality disorder, on the other hand, may have a hard time going to work or school because they are so afraid of criticism. Whether or not someone has a disorder usually depends on how it affects their quality of life and how strong it is on a spectrum. Someone who relies on other people to provide for them financially and emotionally may have dependent personality disorder. If your partner acts clingy, insists that you make trivial decisions for them, and refuses to take responsibility for themselves, they might have dependent personality disorder. A partner with dependent personality disorder might be very submissive or agree with everything you say for fear of losing your approval and support.

TL;DR in English: Know what distinguishes Cluster C disorders from the other clusters. Consider whether your partner is oversensitive and socially inhibited. Ask yourself whether your partner is needy and dependent.

When you are sending an email it is very important that you always include a subject line. This is an opportunity for you to make your email stand out and also provide some details about the content of the email. An email that doesn’t include a subject line is more likely to get deleted or lost in the inbox, or it will irritate the recipient because they are forced to open the email to find out what it is about. Most email inboxes will only reveal about 60 characters from the subject line and a mobile phone will only show around 25 to 30 characters. As a result, you should keep the subject line short and write the most important information first. Short forms, such as “ATTN” and “RE” make it easier to include more information in the subject line. Inboxes are often flooded with spam and promotional material and many people delete emails before they are even opened. If you are emailing someone you don’t know directly, it is important for your email to stand out. You can catch the recipients attention by writing a catchy and creative subject line.  You could write “I do not want anything from you” if you are reaching out to someone you admire, but have never met personally. For example, this could be a favourite author or someone you look up to in your industry. Alternatively, you could say “earn more money by expanding your client base.” This would be useful if you are looking to make business connections and want your emails to be opened. It is very important that you always include important information about the content of the email. If you are writing an email to a co-working about a project, make sure to put the title of the project in the subject line. That way your co-worker will know what it is about and can prioritize it as necessary.  You can also say something like “response needed.” This will likely make your email more of a priority. Alternatively, writing “quick question re: lunch meeting” will likely get attention because it indicates that it will be an easy response.

TL;DR in English:


Learn to compromise. Thank people. Give up the control. Spend time with people who are not selfish. Don't interrupt people. Remember birthdays. Keep in touch with your friends, family, and relatives. Compliment other people Don't butt in front of people in line. Be on time.

Reserve a page at the end of your paper for the bibliography, referred to as "works cited" in MLA style. Write "Works Cited" at the top of the next page after the last page of your paper. This page should have the same header with your last name as the rest of your paper, and your page numbers should continue onto this page, too. You should capitalize every word in the title of your sources, except for words like “an,” “the,” and “of.” If you’re unsure how to capitalize your title, you can use online capitalization generators, like Title Capitalization, to check your titles. All of the pages of your MLA bibliography should be double spaced. You don’t need to put extra spaces between each source, as long as everything is double-spaced. If your source takes up more than one line, indent the each successive line 0.5 inches (1.25 cm). Once you begin a new source, go back to the original margin. After the author’s last name, you should list their full first name and their middle name or initial, if they have one listed on the source. You shouldn’t use an author’s title or degrees when listing their names in your bibliography. This is true even if they are listed that way on the source. Include the author's last name and first name, separated by a comma and ending with a period. Then the book title comes in italics with a period at the end of the title. The place of publication and the name of the publishing company are separated by a colon, and then a comma and the publication date. For example, a book citation might look like this: Butler, Olivia. Parable of the Flower. Sacramento: Seed Press, 1996. Start with the last name and first name of the author, followed by a period. Then the title of the article should be in quotes, with a period after the title (but still inside the last quotation mark). The name of the periodical or book should follow in italics, followed by a comma and then volume and issue numbers and date of publication, all separated by commas. Finally, a colon separates the date of publication the...

TL;DR in English: Create a works cited page. Capitalize all words in titles except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions. Double space your citations page. Indent each successive line for the same source. List your sources alphabetically by author’s last name. Cite books. Cite articles. Cite websites. Use reliable sources to look for the citations rules for other types of sources.

The term hijab is actually the Arabic term for creating a partition or barrier, and doesn't specifically mean a type of head covering. In Islam, hijab consists of the fundamental behaviors for modesty, as well as how Muslims should dress. These rules apply to both men and women, and vary depending on how close the person is to reaching puberty. Many people frequently refer to a headscarf of any sort as a hijab, so the meaning is often context-dependent. Muslims are required by the Quran to be modest, especially around those of another gender, and must cover their awrah (what is deemed a private area in Islam). What counts as the awrah is largely dependent on the age and sex of the person in question - for example, babies do not have an awrah, and young children only need to cover their private parts. The awrah for a woman shortly before and after she reaches puberty is from her head to her ankles. Most scholars agree that it's fine to leave your face and hands uncovered, though not everyone agrees on whether you should cover your feet. To gain a better understanding of the rules of veiling, it's important to read the Quran verses that address it, with the most frequently cited verses being 24:31 and 33:59.  "And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed." [Quran 24:31] This verse is interpreted as the rules...

TL;DR in English: Recognize what the hijab is. Understand basic modesty in Islamic culture. Read the Quran verses about veiling. Look into hadith about veiling. Know when most people begin veiling. Take the requirements of veiling into account. Know when veiling is not considered a requirement. Recognize the difference between the hijab and the niqab.

LaTeX (pronounced “LAY-tech” or “LAH-tech”) is a typesetting  application that converts text files into formatted documents. To use LaTeX, you must first create a document in a text editor program with instructions telling LaTeX what type of document you have and where the actual document text begins. These instructions are command that begin with the backslash (\) character.  Specify the type of document with the “\documentclass” command, with the type of document specified in braces. For an article, the command would read “\documentclass {article}”. (Do not include the quotation marks; they are used here to set off the example.) Specify where the text portion begins with the command “\begin {document}”. The braces indicate the starting and stopping places for formatting the text as specified by the formatting command. You can nest several formatting commands, such as having a large block of italicized text with a portion within it in boldface. If you do nest commands, be sure to use as many close braces as you do open braces to ensure that the text is formatted the way you want. A sentence with the last word italicized would read as follows: “One of the first TV shows to realistically depict the routine of patrol officers was \textit {Adam-12}.”

TL;DR in English: Write the text file using a text editor. Enclose the text to be italicized in braces ({}). Precede the text to be italicized with the “\textit” command.

If you want to stop being selfish, then you've got to learn to compromise. This means seeing that it's better to be happy than to get what you want, that other people have needs too, and that you can't always get what you want. You don't want to have a reputation for being so stubborn that people wouldn't even think about approaching you with a difficult situation. Learn to listen to people, to weigh the pros and cons of any situation, and to be able to see the situation from another person's perspective.  Don't focus blindly on getting your way. Focus on understanding the situation from both sides. Ask yourself, "Who wants it more?" Do you really want this particular thing so badly, or are you just being stubborn for the sake of it? Not everything can be a priority for you. Make sure to hear the other person out and consider their perspective before you respond. Selfish people think that they deserve the best treatment and that they deserve to be spoiled, and that's just not the case. If someone does something nice for you, whether they are complimenting you or giving you a ride to class, you should be grateful and thank them for their actions instead of just acting like it's perfectly normal that they want to do favors for you. Don't expect kindness or understanding and be grateful when it comes your way.  Selfish people think they "deserve" the best treatment at all times. It's time to stop and think about all of the people who have really made your life better. Selfish people think that they have to choose every movie, plan every vacation, and get their way in every school or work-related project. Well, it's time to take a step back and to let some other people do some of the deciding. Sure, it may be scary to go to that new Thai place instead of your favorite usual Italian restaurant, and sure, you may not like letting Mary have so much control over your latest report; but you've got to trust that other people know what they're doing and to let them get their way, too.   Giving up control can help you...
