See your doctor while you're pregnant. Get the first trimester combined test. Ask about the integrated screening test. Consider the cell-free fetal DNA analysis.

You will need at least a ten to twenty gallon glass terrarium for your tree frog. This size can accommodate up to four frogs comfortably. Make sure that you have a properly fitting screen-top. This will ensure proper ventilation while keeping everything secure in your frog’s habitat. Pet stores will often sell these terrariums. You will also be able to find them online. Remember the more frogs the larger the terrarium will have to be. The material lining the bottom of the cage is called a substrate. For your red-eyed tree frog, you should put down about two or three inches of non-fertilized potting soil. You can mix this soil with bed-a-beast bedding, orchid bark, coco coir, paper towels, or peat moss to give it more texture. The substrate should be scooped out and replaced every two to three months. Your frog will appreciate some items around the cage to climb and hide under. Find some natural, leafy looking furnishings to place in the cage. Make sure that these are non-toxic to prevent damage to your frog's sensitive skin.  Coconut halves make great dens for the frogs.  Leaves, driftwood, rocks, cork, and branches can give your frog something to climb and explore.  You can put in both fake and living plants, but fake plants are easier to keep alive. During the day, the cage will need to be between 78 and 84 degrees F (25 and 28C). At night, the temperature can drop no more than ten degrees. If your room temperature is cooler than this, you may have to invest in heaters for your terrarium. There are several options for heating the terrarium:  Low wattage heat bulbs can attach to the screen top. They provide enough heat without burning your frogs. Heat pads can rest beneath the cage. Look for ones specially designed for reptiles at your pet store. Be warned that if water touches the hot glass, it can crack the glass.  Red or nocturnal bulbs can be left on all night to ensure around the clock warmth.  Red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal so extra lighting isn’t necessarily. Bulbs would simply provide warmth.

TL;DR in English: Invest in a glass terrarium. Lay down a proper substrate. Furnish with leaves and natural décor. Keep the habitat warm.

This is a common myth held by students. Particularly if you’re a slow reader, you may find it more effective to read the beginning and end of the chapter, along with pull-outs (information placed in a box, graph, or other attention-grabbing area on the page) and anything bolded or italicized in the text. Another common mistake students make is to read their textbook once and then never look at it again. A better strategy is to practice layered reading.  On your first read-through, skim the material. Determine what the main idea or goal of the text is (often signaled by the chapter title and subheadings), and mark any places that you didn’t feel as though you understood well. Read headings, subheadings, and other organizational elements. Textbook authors often construct their chapters so that it is very clear what the goal of each section is. Use this to your advantage. Read for more detail in later readings. Sometimes, students will just move their eyes along the page again and again and feel like they’re not getting anything from their “reading.” Reading is an active process: you need to be engaged, paying attention, and thinking about what you read. While it’s tempting to break out the rainbow of highlighters when you read through a chapter, avoid this temptation. Research has shown that highlighting actually can hamper your reading because you may feel tempted to highlight every single thing you feel is important without thinking critically about the ideas presented. If you must highlight, wait until you’ve completed your first read-through, and use the highlighter sparingly to point out only the most important ideas. It can be tempting to just read past words or elements you don’t understand in an effort to “just get it done.” This actually damages comprehension. If a dense textbook on Marxist economics has terms that you don’t initially understand, don’t just read on: stop what you’re doing, look up the word, and understand it before continuing.

TL;DR in English: Understand that you do not have to read every single word. Plan to read more than once. Understand that reading is not the same as studying. Know that highlighting is not ideal for first-time reading. Understand that you may need to look things up while reading.

Wherever you're camping, in the backyard or the backcountry, you need to look for an appropriate space that will provide you the most comfortable camping experience possible. There are several factors to consider, but the first is to make sure that the area you've selected to camp upon is legal and available for camping.  If you're in a state or national park, make sure that you've set up in a designated campsite. Often, these will be marked with numbered metal posts and will feature picnic tables, fire pits, and sometimes water spigots for using. If you're backcountry camping, make sure that you follow the regulations for the park or nature reserve in which you're camping. Different parks will have regulations about how close you're allowed to camp to water, for example, or how close you can camp next to the trail. Wherever you're camping, it's always critical to avoid private property to avoid a rude awakening in the middle of your camping trip from an angry landowner. Never camp anywhere camping is not permitted. When you've selected a suitable campsite, it's time to pick where you want to place your tent. There are several factors to consider, and the first should be your comfort. It's hard to sleep on an angle, so it's recommended the thou find a very flat and preferably brushy site to set your tent up on. Find higher ground on the site, if possible. If it rains, you don't want to be at a lower point, to which water will run. For this reason, it's a good idea to avoid dry creek beds, little divots, and hollows in the ground. You don't want to wake up in a puddle. Ideally, a tent should be placed so that it will remain in shade throughout the following morning, especially if it’s hot out. And even though a dome tent is wind resistant, it’s also a good idea to find as much of a wind break as possible, in case the weather should pick up while you're out hiking or away from the tent. The last thing you'd want is to come back to an empty camp site! Placing a tent to the west of a hillside or a treeline would...

TL;DR in English: Find an appropriate campsite. Find a flat spot at your campsite. Find a break from sun and shade. Situate your tent away from the fire. Clear loose debris from the tent site.

Your doctor or pediatrician can tell you if your child has Down syndrome once they are born, but if you want to know beforehand, ask about the various types of screening tests. Prenatal screening tests can show if there is an increased likelihood your unborn baby has Down syndrome, but they are not a perfect estimate.  If a prenatal screening test shows an increased likelihood your baby has Down syndrome, then your doctor will recommend a diagnostic test to be more certain. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that all women (regardless of age) get screening tests for Down syndrome. There are different screening tests related to how far along you are in your pregnancy and include: the first trimester combined test, the integrated screening test and the cell-free fetal DNA analysis. The first trimester combined test is done within the first 3 months of pregnancy and involves two steps: a blood test and an ultrasound exam. The blood test measures levels of PAPP-A (pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A) and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone being produced in your body. (HCG). In addition, a painless ultrasound exam is used on your abdomen to measure an area on the back of the fetus's neck called the nuchal translucency.  Abnormal levels of PAPP-A and HCG typically indicate something unusual with your baby, but not necessarily Down syndrome. The nuchal translucency screening test measures the amount of fluid that's collected there. Abnormally high amounts of fluid usually indicates a genetic disability, but not just Down syndrome. Your doctor will consider your age (older equals higher risk), the results of the blood test, and the ultrasound images to decide if it's likely your fetus has Down syndrome. Just keep in mind that these types of tests are not done in every instance of pregnancy. However, if you are over 35, then you are at higher risk of having a baby with Down syndrome and your doctor may recommend testing. The integrated screening test is done during the first...

TL;DR in English:


Avoid using a face wash. If you have a large number of blackheads, or acne, considering using a face wash that contains salicylic acid.  Always wash your face with warm water to open the pores before applying the cleanser.  Always wash your face after any activities that cause you to sweat heavily.

Wash your face twice a day. Exfoliate your face at least once a week. Avoid touching your face. Use sunscreen daily. Use oil-free or mineral make-up. Drinks lots of water.

Chlorine is measured in parts per million, or ppm. If the levels are lower than 1 ppm, there may be harmful bacteria lurking in the water. Conversely, if the chlorine levels are too high, you might experience skin and eye irritation. It's much less work to use chlorine tablets or sticks rather than granular chlorine, which has to be pre-dissolved in water and added on a daily basis. The most common and least expensive form of chlorine is 3 in (7.6 cm) tablets, which are slow-dissolving and require less maintenance. If you have an above-ground pool, a small in-ground swimming pool, a hot tub, or a spa, 1 in (2.5 cm) chlorine tablets are ideal.  The active ingredient in chlorine tablets and sticks is called “Trichlor” (or Trichloro-S-Triazinetrione), and the active ingredient in granular chlorine is called “Dichlor” (or Sodium Dichloro-S-Triazinetrione).  Look for a concentration of 90% Trichloro-S-Triazinetrione in chlorine tablets or sticks.  If you choose to use granular chlorine, look for a concentration of 56% to 62% Sodium Dichloro-S-Triazinetrione in granular chlorine. Read the packaging on the tablets to find out how many to use based on the existing chlorine levels in the water and the size of your pool. Put the tablets in a floating chlorine feeder and put the feeder in the pool. As the feeder floats around, the chlorine will gradually dissolve and be distributed throughout the pool water.  Instead of a floating feeder, some pools have a skimmer basket that hooks on the side of the pool. If your pool has this, drop the chlorine tablet right into the basket. Skimmer baskets are commonly used with above-ground pools. Other pools come equipped with chemical feeders. Chemical feeders slowly meter out precise amounts of chlorine into your pool water automatically and offer very precise control over the amount of chlorine being added to the swimming pool. If a feeder is adjusted properly, you may not have to worry about your chlorine level for a week or more. If you add too much chlorine or shock to your...

TL;DR in English: Adjust the chlorine levels if they are above or below 1-3 ppm. Use chlorine tablets to easily increase the amount of chlorine in the pool. Put the chlorine tablets in a floating chlorine feeder. Lower the chlorine levels with a chlorine neutralizer. Maintain cyanuric acid levels at no higher than 40 ppm.

Your odds of success mostly depend on how old your baby is and how long it's been since you initially stopped breastfeeding. Your genes will also determine how feasible relactating is.  It is easiest to relactate if the process is started within three weeks after the birth of your baby. After that period, prolactin levels drop dramatically. You can still relactate after that window passes, but doing so can prove more difficult. Babies younger than three months are usually willing to resume breastfeeding, especially if they were breastfed previously. Between three and six months, individual temperament will determine how willing your baby will be. After six months, most babies will not be willing to return to breastfeeding. Contact the hospital you delivered through and ask to speak with a lactation consultant they have on staff there. If the hospital does not employ a lactation consultant, ask for a recommendation.  You can also ask your midwife, your doctor, or your baby's doctor for a recommendation. Most of the tricks and techniques you can use to relactate are things you can try on your own, but a lactation consultant will usually be able to give you additional advice. This can be especially helpful if you are dealing with unusual circumstances. For two full weeks, your main concern should be breastfeeding and stimulating relactation. The entire process might take more time, but you need to keep it your primary focus for at least two weeks if you want to maximize your odds of success.  Keep in mind that the amount of time it takes to relactate is usually equal to the amount of time that has passed since you stopped breastfeeding. Only 50 percent of mothers who successfully relactate establish a full supply within one month. The rest took longer, and some never produced a full supply. You will need both emotional and professional help to make it through this difficult process.  Turn to understanding family and friends for emotional support. If you know anyone who has successfully relactated, ask her for...

TL;DR in English: Consider the time frame. Contact a lactation consultant. Set aside at least two weeks. Build a base of support. Quit being so hard on yourself.

This method isn't as fast as the others, but it can keep bottles cool for long periods of time. This may be especially effective if it's a warm and sunny day. It's less messy if your containers are large, and it helps keep your beers chill if you're moving them from other cold storage. Look in the shade, not the beating sun. Try to bury your beers along the shore of a river, a lake, or a sea – but be careful if the tide is coming in. The wetter the soil, the better. You can also pour water onto the ground to keep it moist. This may be the best choice if there is no body of water around, and you have water to spare, Dig a hole that's large enough for the beer container. Bury it up to the cap or lid; in general, deeper is cooler. Consider leaving the cap or lid exposed to keep it from getting dirty. If you bury the beers completely, make sure that you don't forget where you left them!

TL;DR in English: Consider burying your beers in cool, moist soil. Find a spot of cool, moist earth. Bury the beers.

If you have a large number of blackheads, or acne, considering using a face wash that contains salicylic acid.  Always wash your face with warm water to open the pores before applying the cleanser.  Always apply a moisturizer to your skin after you’ve finished washing your face.  To open your pores even more before cleansing, steam your skin by placing your face above a bowl of hot or boiling water. Always wash your face after any activities that cause you to sweat heavily. Exfoliation can irritate your skin if it is done too often.  Start with exfoliating once per week.  If your skin isn’t irritated, you can add a couple more times a week. Your hands touch everything else, so you want to prevent your hands from touching your face and transferring oil, dirt and bacteria to your pores.  This includes preventing your hair from touching your face if possible.  Your hair naturally contains oils that can get on your skin and block your pores. SPF protection should be in any moisturizer you put on any part of your body.  And you should use moisturizer with SPF protection year-round on your face. Powder-based make-up is also better than cream-based make-up.  Always remember to thoroughly remove all your make-up before you go to bed. Also remember that it’s important to wash your make-up tools and brushes regularly as bacteria and dirt build up on them over time.  Wash them with warm water and a gentle soap. Hydration is extremely important for all your skin and the best way to hydrate your skin is simply by drinking lots of water.

Train for your position to get the most out of your fitness. Play games and scrimmages to train your whole body at once. Replace the majority of long distance runs with interval training Build agility and reaction speed with plyometrics and direction changing workouts. Recover and build endurance with long distance runs and endurance activities. Build your upper body to improve your game play. Push yourself as hard as you can in practices, scrimmages, and drills.

You may find you have more to wear than you think. Look for baggy shirts and sweatshirts, along with anything else that fits looser, such as yoga pants and leggings. You can also wear things like loose cardigans and blazers.  Also, look for loose button-downs or other shirts that are extra-long so they can help cover your bump. Don't forget to check out your accessories. A great statement necklace, a colorful scarf, or a unique bracelet can make a basic outfit look special. When you start developing a bump, you can still rely on stretchy shirts for a while. The key is to pick tops that are long and flowy. That way, they'll stretch over your bump without leaving your belly peeking out the bottom. You can see ruching in shirts and dresses by looking for gathered fabric along the side hem. The benefit of ruching is it gives the garment extra stretch because there's extra material to go around. Often, shirts with ruching will last throughout your pregnancy. Wrap a rubber band through the button loop on your pants, stretch it over the button. This trick will give you some extra breathing room as your baby bump grows.  You can also unbutton the top button and hold it together with a safety pin. Put on a wide belt or long shirt to hide your makeshift pant extenders. Because low-rise pants sit lower on your waist, they can sit under your growing belly. Just be sure to pick longer shirts so you're not exposing your belly bump to everyone (unless you want to). While this won't work for every person, it can help your bras fit for longer. Extenders fit between the closures, making the band bigger. Though it won't make the cup size bigger, it will give you some breathing room. You can find these online or in most stores that sell bras. These won't be as form-fitting as maternity clothes. However, they will help you transition after your pregnancy back to regular clothes when you still have your baby belly. This works great for t-shirts and other stretchy items.

TL;DR in English: Check your closet before shopping. Opt for longer shirts and tunics. Look for shirts and dresses with ruching. Make your pants stretchier with a rubber band or hair tie. Try low-rise options to fit pants under your bump. Buy an extender for your bras to let them last through your pregnancy. Choose clothes with stretch that are 1-2 sizes bigger.

Take a good look around the room to see the layout and different objects. Begin walking around and looking at signs, decorations on the walls, and take note of where furniture is placed. Take a mental note of or jot down anything that strikes you as unusual, such as a letter missing from a word or a decoration that seems out of place. Look underneath vases, tablecloths, tables, and chairs. Look inside of drawers and cabinets. If you find something that’s locked, there’s probably a key somewhere that will unlock it and most likely it is part of the puzzle series. You won’t have to climb anything or remove things from walls; your guide will tell you this, but it’s good to keep in mind so you don’t waste time trying those things. Resist the urge to watch and “help” someone else as they work on a puzzle, unless they ask specifically for your help. You’ll make better use of your time by going to a different puzzle or clue and focusing on solving that. Spreading out is especially helpful in the beginning of the game. Later, if there’s only one puzzle left open, then of course your group can gather around it and try to solve it together. Don’t spend more than 5 minutes alone on one particular puzzle. If you can’t think of any more ideas for solving it, ask for help or for a teammate to take it over entirely. If a few different people can’t figure it out, that may be a sign that you need more information to solve it, or a hint from your guide. Passing around items you can’t solve ensures that puzzles don’t get forgotten about; forgetting about a puzzle until the last minute can make your team think they are farther ahead than they really are. While it’s important to remember the original location of an object, it can also be helpful to put related things together. For instance, books or pictures that seem related, keys, or other similar loose objects should be placed together in a central location of the room. It is helpful to keep a running list of objects and where they were originally located. Choose a person on...

TL;DR in English: Observe everything in the room when you get there. Leave nothing untouched. Spread out to different clues and puzzles. Pass clues that you can’t solve onto someone else. Organize all clues and information. Create “used” and “unused” piles of objects. Leave used keys in their locks.

After you have finished washing your hair, dry it with a towel and proceed with your normal styling routine, but do not blow dry your hair. Let your hair air dry for a while until it is just damp. Secure the towel with a strong hair clip or safety pin. The towel will help prevent hair from getting on your neck and clothing.  You may also want to put some newspaper on the floor to catch the hair that you trim off. Before you begin, make sure that you will be able to see the front and back of your hair by placing one mirror in front of you and another behind you. The mirrors should be facing each other. Adjust the mirrors until you can see the front and the back of your head in the mirror in front of you. If you have long hair, this step is optional since you should be able to bring each strand forward as you trim your curls. Using a pair of sharp haircutting scissors, trim the ends of each of your curls. Make sure the scissors you use are meant for cutting hair and that they are very sharp. Cut the hair near the ends or in the curve of the curl. Begin by trimming the topmost layers and work your way down through your curls, layer by layer. After you finish trimming the ends of one layer, use a hair clip to separate the trimmed hair from the hair that you have not yet cut. Keeping the trimmed hair separate will help prevent you from cutting the same curls twice. Continue trimming the ends of your curls until you have trimmed them all. This may take a while, especially if you have thick hair. Just be patient and don’t rush! When you are finished, run your fingers through your curls and shake them out. Inspect your hair from all angles and make sure it looks how you want it to look. Use the scissors to touch up any spots that don’t look right. Look for any strands that are drastically longer than others or that are angled differently and trim as needed.

TL;DR in English: Wash and condition your hair. Wrap a towel around your neck and shoulders. Arrange your mirrors. Trim your curls. Separate the trimmed curls from the untrimmed curls. Shake out your curls. Inspect your curls.

Different soccer players have different training needs to be successful. A goalie, after all, doesn't need to be able to run for as long as a center midfielder. But even similar positions, like outside defenders and midfielders, can focus on slightly different training regimens:   Goalies: Need quick, powerful reactions and very little long-distance stamina. Focus on strength, reactions, and a slim, quick figure.  Defenders: Need upper/lower body strength and sprinting speed. Rarely required to jog or run for long, continuous times, they need to be able to get to every ball and win it in the air or on the ground.  Midfielders: Need to be able to run for days. They should have exceptional stamina and above-average speed. Quickness and strong foot skills are a must.  Forwards: Need a balance of speed and strength, like defenders, but must also be able to jog for days to confuse defenders and open up offensive space. The best way to get in soccer shape is to play soccer. While you will need to work on additional training as well, games force you to work on endurance, strength, speed, and agility in real-life situations. As long as you're exhausted at the end of the game, you've gotten a good training session in. When playing games for fun, move around and play multiple positions. This will help you learn the game and build full-body fitness. . Interval training is when you alternate hard sprints or effort with short rest periods, teaching your body to get to top speed and recover your energy quickly. It is much more game-realistic than an hour of jogging, and is proven to get faster results. A sample workout might look like this (note that there is no "rest" period. Jogging is your rest).  Jog for 5-10 minutes to warm up. Sprint for 30 seconds. Jog for 1 minute (1:30 if struggling) Alternate sprinting/jogging for 9 more sprints. Jog for 5-10 minutes to cool down. Lower the rest period as you get better, eventually aiming for a 30-second sprint and jog. Being quick on your feet is essential to becoming a killer...

Don’t put yourself in a place where you will be self-conscious or experience interruptions.  Libraries are designed for finding great books and reading!  You can grab a book and get started right away in the quiet of your local library branch. Go to a park or somewhere outdoors.  If you associate reading with oppressive indoor settings, going outdoors can be a great way to break up the monotony.  Try walking on the treadmill with a book. Some people simply cannot sit still while reading. Some studies say that you can remember more later if you read while walking on the treadmill, and the jolt of dopamine you get from multitasking may encourage you to keep reading. Many people think that they do not have time to read, but the truth is that they just have not found the time.  Some easy tweaks may add an hour or so per day of extra time.  If you normally have down time before or after work (extra time waking up or winding down), you can make reading a part of that routine. If you spend time checking your email or playing games as a matter of routine, put your book by your laptop or on the couch to remind you to read instead. Small adjustments make a difference. Getting up a little earlier can make time for reading in your breakfast routine.  Getting to the gym earlier can make an extra half-hour for reading before bed. Goal-oriented reading is less pleasurable than relaxed reading. You will feel happier after reading if it is done without any stress on finding information or reading a certain number of pages.   Go to bed a half hour or hour earlier than usual, so that you have time to read before you get too tired. Reading under the light of a lamp is much healthier than looking at the blue light of a phone screen or e-reader. It's good to read in the morning as you can get an inspirational and fresh start to your day. Be aware that the light from an e-reader device may disrupt your sleep. A real book might be a better option before bed. This is not the most relaxed way of reading, but if you are an on-the-go...

TL;DR in English: Look for a quiet, comfortable space to settle in with a book. Add reading to your schedule. Read before going to sleep. Squeeze reading in between activities. Get away from screens.

Though you can slow down the sublimation process, you can't stop it. Therefore, purchase dry ice as close to when you want to use it as possible. You'll lose 5 to 10 pounds of dry ice in a day, even when the dry ice is stored well. Dry ice can burn your skin because of the extreme temperature. Insulated gloves will protect your hands from frostbite when handling dry ice. You should try to handle it as little as possible. In addition, wearing long sleeves can protect your arms while you are using dry ice. A thick styrofoam cooler is sufficient to keep dry ice for an extended period of time. You can also use a standard cooler, such as one you use to hold cold drinks. Fill up the rest of the container with crumpled paper. This process will help slow down the sublimation, as it lessens how much dead space is in the container. The more you open the container, the more warm air you let in. Warm air increases the sublimation process, meaning your dry ice evaporates more quickly. If it's cold outside, set the cooler outside. If it's warm, keep the cooler in a cool place inside. Basically, you want to keep the temperature outside of the cooler as cool as possible, as it lowers the sublimation rate of the ice. If you have a light burn that only causes redness, the burn should heal on its own. However, if dry ice causes your skin to blister or if your skin starts peeling, you need to go to the doctor.

TL;DR in English: Purchase the dry ice close to when you want to use it. Put on insulated gloves, and protect your arms. Keep the dry ice in a well-insulated container. Add crumpled paper to the container. Keep the container closed as much as possible. Place the cooler in a cold area. Pay attention to burns.

Turn on each faucet one by one. If none of your faucets works, the frozen pipe is close to or right at the main water supply, usually located on the street side of your basement or in an uninsulated crawl space. Run your hands every few feet along the pipe to find a section that feels very cold. This is the frozen section.  If water flows from some faucets but not others, the problem might be in a pipe connected to a specific faucet or a pipe on one side of the house. Check pipes in uninsulated walls first. Keep all frozen taps open until water starts to flow. Then, lower the water to a trickle. Some plastic or copper pipes will split. This will flood the area when thawed. If the pipe looks burst or has a slit in it, call a plumber immediately. Turn off the water supply, as well as the water heater. If there are no splits, begin the thawing process. Use an electric space heater, a hair dryer, or a heat lamp in a reflector to prevent a fire.  Exercise caution when placing heat-generating devices. Never leave these devices unattended for any amount of time when in use.  If you have a problem, call the plumber.  Space heaters, heat lamps, and reflective lamps can generate high temperatures, which might cause flammable materials to combust. If you need to place a heat source under the kitchen sink, remove all chemicals first.  Never put heaters in crawl spaces or in small spaces. These could cause a fire.

TL;DR in English: Locate the frozen pipe. Check the pipe in the area of the freeze. Heat the area around the frozen part.

Go along the spines to find the letter your subject should be under. For instance, if you're looking for "Civil War," your subject will be under "C." Keep in mind that many encyclopedias have so many volumes that some letters may be spread out over multiple volumes. For instance, the Civil War might fall under a volume that is "Ci to Co." Flip through the volume to find your topic. The subjects are all alphabetical, so you'll find your subject according to its first few letters. Remember, once you've found the section for the first letter, narrow down by the second letter, then the third, and so on.  For instance, "Civil War" will be alphabetized by "C," then the "i," then the "v," and so on. The encyclopedia will have words at the top of the page to show you where you are in the alphabet. You can also simply take down a volume and look through it to find a topic that interests you. Each volume will have a range of topics, even in a more specialized collection, so just look through it until you find something that interests you.  Try keeping your sessions to twenty or thirty minutes. Flip to something you find interesting, such as an instrument you play or want to play. For instance, you could look up the saxophone just as a place to start. Browsing a print collection is actually much easier than browsing an electronic collection because you can easily turn the pages to go through a wide range of subjects.

HandBrake is a free program for Windows and Mac computers that can be used to rip an MP4 file from a DVD:  Go to https://handbrake.fr/ in your computer's web browser. Click Download HandBrake. Double-click the downloaded setup file. Follow the on-screen instructions. The DVD should go logo-side-up.  You can ensure that your computer has a DVD drive (not just a CD drive) by looking for the "DVD" logo on the drive tray. If you don't have a DVD drive, you may not be able to rip your DVD. If your computer doesn't have a DVD drive, you'll need to buy an external one and plug it into one of your computer's USB ports. Its app icon resembles a pineapple next to a fruity drink. It's a disc-shaped icon with your DVD's name in the upper-left side of HandBrake. If you don't see the DVD icon, close and then re-open HandBrake. HandBrake will typically default to an MP4 conversion, but you should double-check the following aspects before continuing:   File format — Make sure the "Container" box has "MP4" in it. If it doesn't, click the box, then click MP4.  File resolution — Click Presets, then click a quality (e.g., 1080p) on the right side of the window. It's to the right of the "Save As" text box. A pop-up window will appear. Select a save location, enter a file name in the "File name" (Windows) or "Name" (Mac) text box, and click Save. It's a green button at the top of the HandBrake window.

Before you begin, get an idea of how bad the problem is, and whether chinch bugs are the ones responsible. Cut the base off a coffee can and push it two inches (5 cm) into the turf. Pour in soapy water until it stays filled. Repeat in several areas of your lawn, especially at the border of yellow patches. Return after ten minutes and count chinch bugs floating on the surface:  5+ chinch bugs per can: a serious infestation. Continue to the next step for treatment. 2–4 chinch bugs per can: low-level infestation. Improve lawn health and test again later. Treat immediately if your lawn is in poor health. 0–1 chinch bug per can: no treatment necessary. If your lawn is in poor health, there is probably another cause. Alternatively, you might also take a close look at the lawn with a magnifying glass. This can be effective if you catch the chinch bug infestation early, before they've spread throughout your lawn:  Rake the lawn vigorously for 2 ft (60 cm) on all sides of the damaged area, toward the center. Vacuum the damaged area and surroundings. Water thoroughly. Insecticidal soaps are considered safe and appropriate for organic farming. A homemade soap treatment is actually more likely to damage your garden, but pure castille soap or mild Ivory or Dawn products (not extra-strength, grease-cutting, or anti-bacterial) are usually safe in a solution of 2½ tbsp dishwashing liquid per 1 gallon water (40 mL per 4 L). Mix in a clean sprayer, then shake or stir vigorously to combine. If using an insecticidal soap, dilute it following label instructions instead.  This method also works best if you catch the infestation early and use it to target small areas of lawn. If you have hard water in your area, the soap may fail to mix in, leaving a scum on the surface after the water settles. If this happens, make a new mix using distilled or bottled water instead.  Using a commercial insecticidal soap for chinch bugs is not legal in Canada, although this may just be an oversight. Homemade soap treatments are allowed.  Any soap...

TL;DR in English: Check the chinch bug population. Vacuum the lawn. Buy or make a soap treatment. Spray the soapy water onto your lawn. Spread a flannel sheet over the soapy area. Repeat as needed. Encourage big-eyed bugs. Use other predatory insects. Try natural oil treatments. Sprinkle on diatomaceous earth.

Sometimes thinning hair is a sign that you aren't getting the nutrients you need. Eating a well-balanced diet is a sure way to start growing thicker, healthier hair.  Make sure you get plenty of protein - eat fish, chicken, legumes, and lean meats.     Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to hair health. Eat nuts, avocados, and olive oil.     Vitamin B is also important when it comes to nourishing your hair. Make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Biotin is another essential nutrient for hair growth, found particularly in seafood, eggs and soybeans.    You can buy supplements specifically designed to help you get the nutrients you need to grow thick hair. They usually contain biotin, fish oil, protein, and a range of vitamins. Prenatal vitamins are another good choice when your goal is growing thicker hair. Spending time in the sun, in the pool, and even on your morning commute may be affecting your hair if you aren't taking measures to protect it. Being more mindful of keeping your hair safe - the same way you would your skin - can lead to thicker hair in the long run.  Wear a hat when you'll be in the sun for long periods of time. This way your hair won't get dried out and brittle. Wear a swim cap in the pool, so the chlorine doesn't damage your hair. If chlorine does get on your hair, use a daily clarifying shampoo afterwards to remove it. Try not to spend too much time in polluted areas. If you have to walk next to traffic, wear a scarf or hat. Stress can be a cause of hair loss. Find ways to make your life calmer, and eventually you may find that your hair begins to grow in thicker.  Start meditating. You can't wish your problems away, but meditation helps you figure out how to handle them better.     Get regular exercise. Keeping your body healthy helps destress the mind.     Get plenty of sleep. Sleeping for 8 hours a night is essential to your mental and physical health.

TL;DR in English: Eat foods that make your hair grow thicker. Take supplements for thicker hair. Protect your hair from outside damage. Try to de-stress.

This stance is the neutral position from which you’ll start nearly all of your offensive and defensive moves. Start from a standing position. Separate your feet by about 2 feet (0.61 m). Then, bend your knees and slightly arch your back so you’re ready to spring in any direction. Lastly, bend your elbows at about 90° and put your hands in front of you.  A common alternative to this is the staggered stance. In a staggered stance, one foot is about 8 inches (20 cm) in front of the other and carries the majority of your weight. When in either stance, your elbows should be between your thighs. If your elbows stray outside of the them, your opponent may under hook your elbows. Keeping your legs wide and your torso low to the ground will help with this. So, keep your weight spread between both of your feet and always stay balanced on the balls of your feet. Get used to moving around in this crouched position, while maintaining the standard wrestling stance. Maintaining a low center of gravity will make it difficult for an opponent to topple you over. Sprawling is simply falling to your hip from your stance in order to prevent your opponent from performing a takedown move. When your opponent takes their shot at your leg(s), lower your hips, then drop to one knee and drop your hip on top of your opponent’s upper back. Push your opponent’s head down to the mat with one hand. This will prevent them from performing a takedown. The sprawl moves your legs out of range from someone shooting on you. This is a great way to defend against an opponent, and opens the best options to counter-attack.

When dealing with small pieces of fiberglass, place your panel on a sturdy working table. Though it does not need to be as high-quality as those used for miter saws and jigsaws, make sure it does not wobble and can keep the panel firmly in place. Since you are dealing with smaller segments and a handheld saw, cover the area you plan on cutting through with a layer of masking tape to avoid chips or splinters. Make sure the tape extends at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) beyond the spot in question. Use a small pencil to mark the line where you intend to cut. Because the panel is covered with tape, double check to make sure the line is accurate and matches all your measurements. Place the back edge of a fine-toothed hacksaw blade directly against your cutting line. To make sure you don't get injured, hold the saw so its handle is pointed toward yourself, protecting your body from the blade. In slow, steady motions, pull the hacksaw toward and away from yourself to saw through the fiberglass. This may take some time, since the hacksaw is a manual tool. To make sure the panel is cut cleanly, do not rush the process.

TL;DR in English: Use a solid working table. Wrap masking tape around the area you intend to cut. Mark the tape with a cutting line. Line up a hacksaw with the marked line. Pull the hacksaw back and forth to make the cut.

When you teach with a master's degree, you'll need to apply for jobs that are in your field. For instance, if your master's degree is in literature, apply for a job teaching composition. If your degree is in biology, apply for a job in the science department.  Try looking on websites for your local community colleges and trade schools. You can also apply for adjunct positions at 4-year colleges. Most community colleges are constantly looking for a new pool of adjuncts, so you can apply any time of year. If you don't have much teaching experience, continuing ed is a good place to start because these are non-credit courses. Colleges are more willing to take a chance on you for these classes. Once you gain some experience, you can move over to for-credit courses. When first applying to become a teacher at a college, apply for an adjunct position first. Adjunct positions usually only require you to have a master's degree, while the college will usually want you to have a PhD for a full-time position. You'll have a better chance of landing an adjunct position with just a master's degree, and you may be able to work up to a full-time faculty position later. When you apply for a position, use your application to show off the skills you have related to teaching. Even if you haven't taught before, you likely have relevant skills you can highlight on your resume. Use any skill you have to stand out from the crowd.  For instance, if you have been responsible for training other employees, that's a skill related to teaching. Similarly, leading seminars or business meetings is relevant, as well. Also, highlight things that show you know your field well, such as your degree. For an adjunct position, you don't need to play up your publications. They're hiring you for what you know, not what you've published. If at all possible, use any contacts you have at the school to gain an "in." Ask if they'll mention you to the person who hires adjuncts, so your name will already have positive associations when you apply. For instance,...

TL;DR in English: Look for jobs in your field. Begin with continuing education courses. Apply for an adjunct position before a full-time position. Highlight teaching-related skills. Use who you know.

. Whether you're picking up a loved one or flying to Hawaii, it's important to prepare and familiarize yourself with the anticipated areas you will be in. You should collect a map of the facility at the entrance or print one off Online to see where you are and where you are going.

One of the simplest, but most common, logos, this type uses only text, often with a unique font that captures the company's vibe. Think You Tube or Microsoft. These logos put the company name front and center.  Text logos are very common with Fortune 500 companies. The challenge is making sure they're not boring. However, wordmark logos will help brand your company because they focus on the company's name. Text logos are easy to reproduce in marketing materials. Don't choose a text logo if your company's name is too common. Google uses a text logo because its name is unusual and thus memorable. Be careful to space the letters properly. This is called "kerning" in the industry. Choosing the font carefully helps capture your company's feel. Serif fonts are considered more traditional, and san-serif fonts are modern. Pick a font that conveys your company's attitude. You can purchase fonts on the Internet or find free versions.  I you don't feel comfortable making the logo yourself, though, you could hire a marketing or PR company that will do it for you.  If you need a logo fast, a wordmark logo is the way to go. It's simplest. Text logos won't work well for companies that market in countries without the Latin alphabet. Lettermark logos also contain only text, but they showcase your company's initials instead of its full name. CNN and IBM are companies that use lettermark logos.  Lettermark logos are a good choice if your company name is very long or technical. Small products without much space for branding often use lettermark logos.   It can take time and investment to educate consumers about your initials, so don't pick a lettermark logo if you don't have the ability to do so. Sometimes companies decide to rebrand themselves by using a lettermark logo. Think KFC. These logos are sometimes called symbol or icon logos instead.  They are what they sound like: They don't use words at all. They choose to brand a company with a symbol alone.  Companies with long or technical names might benefit from using a...

Whether you're meeting someone for business or pleasure, there's no quicker way to ruin someone's impression of you than to be late. Instead, you should try to get wherever you need to be a few minutes early. Not only will this prove to the other person that you're a go-getter, you'll also alleviate stress on yourself. This will ensure you're as clear-headed as can be for the interactions ahead. Using positive, confident body language can demonstrate to everyone around you that you have confidence in yourself and your abilities without ever needing to open your mouth. Demonstrating assertive body language has a bonus effect of actually making you feel more confident as a result, even if you're only faking it at first. Try practicing in the mirror if it doesn't already come naturally to you. It may be tricky at first, but it does come with time.  Eye contact is a powerful technique in body language, and for good reason. Making eye contact shows confidence.  A firm handshake is crucial, particularly in business settings.  As always, solid posture will show everyone that you respect yourself. Considering you're the one who's wanting to make the big impression, it may seem counter-intuitive to quiet down and let the other person take the reins for a while. All the same, people tend to be more impressed by someone who demonstrates a sincere, vivid interest in themselves and what they do. Demonstrate effective listening skills: reiterate what the other person is saying to you, ask questions, and don't interrupt until there's a natural break in the conversation. The art of oration isn't one that can be learned overnight. All the same, knowing how to speak well and confidently can sometimes leave an impression all on its own. No matter whether you're on a date or at a board meeting, speak in such a way where none of your words are rushed. Speak with slightly greater volume than you'd normally be comfortable with. Breaking out of your comfort zone in ways like this will set you apart from the crowd no matter where you...

TL;DR in English: Be punctual. Use assertive body language. Be a good listener. Speak well.

If the horse's mane is dirty, wash it with horse shampoo. Do not use conditioner, which makes the mane slick and difficult to braid. If your horse's mane is thick, "pulling" it with a mane comb will make it much tidier and easier to handle. If the mane is already thin, you can instead trim it to an even length with a blade. Manes are typically cut to no longer than a hand (about 4 inches, or 10 cm), although this is less important for button braids. Ideally, washing and pulling should be done at least a day before braiding. . Tie your horse in a quiet area free from distractions. Encourage the horse to stand still with a hay net, unless your horse tends to move while eating. Leave standing room to braid the mane on the right side of the horse, which is traditional for hunter and dressage competitions. For jumper competitions, you may braid the mane on whichever side it falls naturally. Before you begin, there are a few steps that can make the process easier:  Sweep hay and other ground cover away from the horse so you can find dropped objects, especially if you are using a needle. Place a stool next to the horse if you cannot reach the horse's neck easily. Working with the mane at waist level might be easiest. Put down a container for your tools, or wear an apron or overalls with a large pocket. Take a soft body brush, and dip it in water, egg white, or hair gel for horses, to keep the mane flat and easy to work with. Brush gently to remove all tangles. Continue on to any one of the sections below, or use these tips to decide which you want to try:  The band method makes easy, dangling braids, best for short manes. The yarn method is harder, but makes sturdy, attractive looped braids. Sewing creates small "button braids" often used in dressage. You'll need to use bands or yarn first before you can sew these on. A running braid is quick and easy, but not suitable for competitions.

If your medical equipment is in good condition and it is still currently used by medical professionals, you will likely be able to find a buyer for it. However, some equipment is in higher demand than others and you should be aware of high resale value items. The prices for these items may be competitive and you may want to factor resale value when you are buying medical equipment as well.   Popular medical equipment items for resale include:  Wheelchairs Anaesthesia machines Surgical tables Defibrillators Ventilators Infusion and syringe pumps Patient monitors Incubators Infant warmers Surgical microscopes EKG machines Before you can sell your used medical equipment, you will need to clean it up and make it look almost as good as new. If you are selling a used wheelchair, for example, you should use cleaner to wash and clean the chair. You should also wash the wheels and make sure the wheels still work properly. Cleaning the equipment will ensure it is in selling shape and will look appealing in advertisements. It is also easier to assess how used the equipment is when it is clean and looking its best. You may then factor in its level of use in your pricing of the equipment when you sell it. Once you have cleaned up the equipment so it looks its best, you should take four to five good photographs of the equipment at different angles. You can then use these photographs in your advertisements for the equipment.  Use a good digital camera to get several clear shots of the equipment. You may want to have someone use the equipment as you photograph it so you can show that the equipment is in good working condition. Photograph the equipment against a solid white background so it is easy to see the equipment in the images. The images should only show the equipment and no other clutter or items, especially if the other items are not for sale. Use good lighting to it is easy to view the equipment and use a high resolution for the images so they will look good in your online advertisements. When photographing the...

You can buy aloe vera plants online or at a local greenhouse. To extract the gel, slice the plant straight down the middle of the leaf. Move the knife slowly to avoid slipping up and accidentally cutting yourself. Make sure to use a sharp knife, as it can be difficult to make a clean cut with a dull blade. Use a tablespoon to extract two tablespoons of aloe vera gel. Aim for the clear gel inside the leaf. There will be some yellowish gel near either end of the leaf. Do not gather this gel as you should only use clear aloe vera gel on your hair. Place the gel in a small container you can set in the shower, like a Tupperware container. Depending on the size of your plant, you may be able to get enough aloe vera gel from one leaf. However, if your plant is smaller, you may have to collect gel from another leaf until you have two tablespoons. When you shower, you can apply the gel when you would normally apply your conditioner. Work it into your hair, moving from the roots to the tips. Use it exactly how you would use your normal conditioner. For example, if you normally let conditioner sit in for a few minutes in the shower, do so. After apply the gel to your hair, rinse it out. Make sure to get all the gel out of your, especially the sticky bits. If you have a hair type that responds to aloe vera gel, your hair should be noticeably softer.

Going for a walk and getting some fresh air can do wonders for a headache, particularly if it's caused by stress or staring at a screen for too long. Go somewhere quiet, breathe deeply and let your mind wander. Your headache will be forgotten about in no time.  Get as close to nature as possible. A quiet country road or a secluded, sandy beach is ideal - but if you're stuck in the city, a nearby park will do. Pick up the pace and settle into a brisk jog, if you like. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise can help lessen the intensity of pain, and regular exercise can help reduce the frequency of headaches. Try using an ice pack to ease the throbbing in your head, by placing it on your forehead, temples, or the back of your neck. The cooling effect of the ice pack will help to relax muscles and relieve pain. Headaches that are brought on by stress or tension can often be easily alleviated by just allowing yourself to relax. A hot bath scented with soothing essential oils can work wonders, but even a quick shower can help to wash away the stresses of the day. Use your thumb and index fingers to gently apply pressure to the part of your head that's aching - whether it's your temples, forehead, the crown of the head or base of the skull. Use a steady rotating motion, combined with light pressure. Do this for 10 to 15 seconds, or longer if necessary. If they're feeling generous, you can ask a partner, friend or family member to massage your head, neck or back, or treat yourself by having a professional massage. Force yourself to take a nap and your headache might just miraculously disappear by the time you wake up. Find a quiet room, close the curtains and lie down on a soft surface. Close your eyes and focus on letting go of the tension in your shoulders, neck, and back. Clear your mind, focus on your breathing and try to drift off into a peaceful sleep. Headaches are often caused by hunger. Try eating a small, healthy meal, then wait for up to half an hour for the pain to subside.  Try to eat meals at the...

You can do good things independently and make the world better without belonging to that or any group. You do not have to live in fear, obey rigid rules of conduct, endure the attitude of the leaders, or allow them to control your thoughts and feelings. Many people will be sympathetic to you, even if they don't fully understand the challenges you're facing. Readjust to life outside the cult by spending time with family, friends, and other people who care about you. You may also want to look for a support group for survivors of spiritual abuse. If you're having a hard time adjusting, consider talking to a counselor or cult expert who can help you reframe your life. There are many support groups out there created specifically for people who were previously in a cult. Look for these groups online and participate in whatever way you can in an attempt to find a support network made up of people who understand you. Go to www.refocus.org to find a support group in your area that you can attend. You may also be able to find a support group through Facebook. Once the group realizes you aren't coming back, they will probably cut off contact with you. Being rejected by people you were once close to can hurt a lot, even if those people are part of a destructive ideology. To cope, lean on your new support network and fill your time with productive activities like work or school. Reach out to other people who have left your cult and ask them how they adjusted, or search the internet for personal stories from people who have left cults behind. Learning about how other people coped with the transition can give you strength and confidence to do the same. If you get in touch with someone who left the cult and they seem willing to have a relationship with you, try to establish a friendship with them. This may help you get the guidance and support you need in order to move forward. Relearn how to think critically and make your own decisions. Expose yourself to different ideas by reading books and newspapers, watching interesting...

Flip the bike over so it’s resting on the handlebars and seat. Install the bottom bracket. Assemble your right crank. Attach the right crank to the bottom bracket. Attach the left crank. Attach the final spindle bolt. Install the pedals.

Locate the small tag on the inside of the shoe. All of the information listed on the manufacturing sticker should also be on this tag. Make sure the information is exactly the same as what’s on the box sticker, especially the style number.  The stitching on the tag ought to look uniform and neat. Spelling errors on this interior tag are almost always an indicator of inauthentic Jordans. Jordans have a very specific label under the tongue. Lift up the tongue and check out the underside. You should see the words “greatest player ever” embroidered there. The embroidery should be white, easy to read and look professional. Double check the details on the logo located on the back of the shoes (or sometimes on the tongue). The logo should appear crisp and uncompromised. Look at the hands, basketball and feet to ensure everything looks properly proportioned. Nothing should look blurry or smudged. Fake Jordans may have an uneven or lumpy Jumpman, with poor stitching and unusual proportions. The spaces between the shoelace tabs should be even. All of the shoelace tabs will be the same size and shape. Make sure they are all attached firmly, with the same amount of tension. Fake Jordans will often have some shoelace tabs that are looser than others. Inspect the shoes carefully for neat and professional looking stitching. Everything should look evenly spaced, with no unfinished edges or frayed threads. The stitching on the heel is often a giveaway – if it looks poorly done or uneven, question the authenticity of the shoes. This is where the side fabric transitions into the front of the shoe. It is usually a different fabric and color than the toe section. On real Jordans, the midsole point will be in front of the bottom lace hole.

Overfeeding or underfeeding at an event is a surefire way to make your horse uncomfortable, and therefore less show-ready. Follow their regular diet plan, adjusting feeding around events if  necessary. Your horse will be happier and easier to work with after having eaten. Don’t bathe your horse, but brush them down really well to make their coat gleam. Spend the most time using the curry comb, and make sure to address all parts of their body. Spend extra time on white areas and apply more baby powder, corn starch, or French chalk if necessary. English and western riders often sand the horses hooves to make them smooth, then apply hoof polish. Black hoof polish can be applied on naturally black hooves, while clear polish should be applied to hooves any color other than black. This should all be done on a clean hard surface.  Put down rubber or heavy foam mats on the ground in your grooming area, to allow the hoof black to dry. Once the hoof black is completely dry, dirt may be wiped off with a dry towel. If you don’t want to polish your horses hooves, rub in some lanolin oil to add extra shine. Appaloosas are not permitted to use hoof polish of ANY color, other than clear, and even that is frowned upon. Check with your breed registry for specifications and regulations. Shows and events are intended to be enjoyable; if you’re nervous you will not only enjoy the event less, but your horse will mirror your emotions and you likely won’t show as well. Make sure you've gotten enough sleep the night before, and enough to eat and drink before the competition. Do some deep breathing exercises and visualization to relax; listen to music or repeat a mantra if that helps you. Be sure to help your horse relax as well, going for a walk or lunge with them if necessary. Don't worry about the other competitors. Act as if you were riding alone in your home arena. It will calm your nerves, and encourage you to pay attention to your own riding. Of course, be alert, and avoid running into the other riders in the ring.

TL;DR in English: Feed your horse. Do a final grooming. Polish your horse’s hooves. Take time to relax.

In the new planting spot, make a hole about 5 inches (12.7 cm) deep. Resurrection lily bulbs will need about 10 inches (25.4 cm) of space between them and other bulbs.  Place them so that they are sitting on handful of bulb compost and with the pointed end facing upwards. Fill in the hole with soil around the bulb and tap it down gently. Avoid pressing the dirt down with your feet. Water the area well. A two to three inch layer of mulch, such as hay or leaf mold, will help protect the bulbs over winter but you should remove the mulch in the spring to let the shoots appear. You should expect that the transplanted lilies might not bloom again the following year, or even the one after. Be patient and don’t give up on them as they will most likely recover from being transplanted eventually.

TL;DR in English: Replant the lily bulbs 5 inches (12.7 cm) deep and 10 inches (25.4 cm) apart. Place mulch over the lilies in the winter. Understand that the lily bulbs may take a couple of years to bloom again.

Or, if you have a bike repair stand, mount your bike to it now. Bike stands can run you well over $100, but if you work on your bike often, you will help prevent strain on your back and knees by investing in one. The bottom bracket is composed of an internal spacer and two bearings that all hold the crankset. Run the spacer through the bottom bracket shell (the short tube that the seat tube and down tube attach to). Hold one side of the spacer in place with a finger as you set in the bearing on the other side. Once you’ve set the bearing in place, tap it in firmly with a rubber mallet. Repeat to install the bearing on the other side. The crankset is what attaches to the chain and the peddles to spin the wheels when you peddle. It's mainly composed of two crank arms (each one attaches to a peddle), a spindle (a rod that both crank arms attach to), and a sprocket (a wheel with cogs that attaches to the chain).  Insert the spindle into the right-side crank arm by matching up the splines (grooves) and pushing the spindle in. Screw in the bolt until it won’t twist any more. Slide the sprocket down the spindle, position it on the crank arm, and attach it with the sprocket bolt.  Depending on the type of crank you’re using, you may have to put the sprocket on first, and then slide the spindle through and fasten it. Slide a crank spacer over the spindle so that it sits beside the sprocket. Insert the spindle into the bottom bracket and push it all the way in. Use a rubber mallet to give the crank a gentle tap or two to ensure it is firmly in place. Position the crank so that it is facing down and is perfectly vertical. Slide a spacer onto the left crank arm and insert it into the bottom bracket, so that it's vertical and facing upwards. Align the two cranks so that they are even, making sure they form a straight line (with the right crank facing down and the left crank facing the ceiling. Tap the left crank arm gently into place with the rubber mallet. Then, tighten the bolts. This will completely lock the cranks...

If you had stage II or III colon cancer, or if your surgeon detected the spread of cancerous cells to your lymph nodes while performing surgery, you will most likely be offered a course of adjuvant chemotherapy following surgery. The goal of adjuvant chemotherapy is to target any "micrometastases" (in other words, any small cancerous cells that are undetectable to the naked eye) and to "kill" them, so as to greatly diminish the chance of a future recurrence of your cancer.  Adjuvant chemotherapy is not necessary for stage I colon cancer, because stage I cancer is confined to the bowel and holds next to zero risk of having spread anywhere else in the body. There is an online program called "Adjuvant!" that helps both physicians and patients to assess the possible risk of recurrence of their colon cancer, alongside the pros and cons of proceeding with adjuvant chemotherapy. This tool can be extremely helpful in allowing patients to see the benefits and risks of proceeding with chemotherapy treatment, and to make an informed decision as to whether it is something that interests them. While surgery is the first-line treatment for stages I, II, and III colon cancer, chemotherapy is the key aspect of treating stage IV. Unfortunately, stage IV colon cancer is technically "incurable," because it has already metastasized to other areas of the body. However, seeking treatment can improve your prognosis and expected lifespan, as well as decrease the symptoms you may be suffering from, so it is certainly worth discussing with your doctor as a treatment option.  The reason that chemotherapy is the primary mode of treatment for stage IV colon cancer is that the cancer has spread systemically (throughout your body), and therefore a "systemic treatment" (a treatment that travels throughout your bloodstream to all areas of your body, such as chemotherapy), is needed to have the desired impact. Chemotherapy for stage IV colon cancer is often accompanied by surgery to remove any masses in the colon and/or elsewhere in the body....

TL;DR in English: Opt for "adjuvant" chemotherapy for stage II or III colon cancer. Proceed with chemotherapy as the mainstay of treatment for stage IV colon cancer. Talk to your doctor to decide on a drug regimen for chemotherapy. Take medications to manage the side effects. Be aware that radiation is rarely used in the treatment of colon cancer.

Antidepressants are usually prescribed by your doctor or psychiatrist for atypical depression. SSRIs are one common type of antidepressants with fewer side effects. SSRIs work by increasing the amount of serotonin available on the brain. Examples of SSRIs include Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, and Zoloft.  Your dosage will depend on the prescription given by your doctor or psychiatrist. Another antidepressant group is SNRIs, which work by increasing the amount of serotonin and norepinephrine available in the brain. This group includes medications such as Effexor XR, Cymbalta, and Pristiq.  NDRI is another option. It affects the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. It includes a medication called Wellbutrin.  You can also take atypical antidepressants, named so because they does not fit neatly into other categories of antidepressants. This category of antidepressants include Remeron and Viibryd. The oldest group of antidepressants is MAOIs, which have been proven effective to treat atypical depression. They also help related symptoms, such as anxiety and panic. Medications in this group include Parnate and Nardil.  Though MAOIs are very effective, they are not used as much as the newer type of antidepressant such as SSRIs. They are generally used as a last resort if other treatments don't work due in part to serious side effects.  MAOIs require the user to follow a strict diet, as they can have dangerous (or even deadly) interactions with certain foods and other medications, like birth control pills, decongestants and certain herbal supplements.

TL;DR in English: Take SSRIs. Try additional antidepressants. Take MAOIs.

There is ample evidence that controlling your behavior is an exercise, which means that you will get better through practice. Therefore, set an objective goal, and try to reduce the time you listened to music by a few minutes each day until you reach your target. Make this goal realistic. If you listen to music for twelve hours each day, a good target would be to listen to music for ten hours each day.  Once you finally reach your target, set a new one. If your target is too hard, feel free to set an easier one. Don't make this too hard on yourself either. In the end, you should be listening to music for three hours maximum. Waking up everyday and seeing your iPod and earphones is only going to tempt you. If you feel bad about throwing your earphones away or if they cost a lot of money, sell them or ask a friend to hold onto them for you. That way, you won't be able to get them without having to dig them out. Remember to try and reduce your music time by half an hour each day (or each week if that is too hard). If you or your parents drive, the car radio will probably be on, but do your best not to turn it on. If you're not driving, kindly ask your parents to keep the radio off and explain that you're trying to spend less time absorbed in music. If all else fails, noise-cancelling earplugs are a nice alternative. Normally, you would probably bring your iPod or other music device when you go out. Don't tempt yourself! Instead, leave it at home. If you're using a phone that plays music, and you want it with you, leave your earphones at home. Resist the urge to buy new ones. You can do this by bringing less money and reminding yourself that you can't get what you really want to get if you waste your money on earphones. Try to avoid situations where you are most likely to listen to music (e.g. when you are at home). It is good if you can replace your old problem with something new and productive.Buy a bike, make some friends or just go for a nice walk. Whatever you do, make it fun. If you're on a bike, you will...

TL;DR in English:


Join a support group for people with eating disorders. Ask your partner, spouse, friends, or loved ones for support. Take parenting classes and seminars. Call a helpline if you’re feeling depressed or suicidal. Avoid toxic and negative people. Stop thinking about losing the baby weight after pregnancy.

When choosing broths, go with the low-fat variety. If you are making a creamy soup and the recipe calls for heavy cream, use a lower-fat substitute, such as 2% milk. You could also try a non-dairy milk if you are vegan or lactose-intolerant. Need a thick soup? Switch out the sour cream for some pureed, mild-tasting white beans. This would also give you an extra dose of fiber, protein, and other nutrients. Cutting fats and calories are not the only ways to make soup healthier. Another common culprit in soup is the excess sodium, and you can make your soup healthier by using low-sodium broths and less salt. This does not mean that your soup has to be flavorless. Try adding some fresh or dried herbs, such as: cilantro/coriander, ginger, garlic, or pepper.  Spices not only add flavor, but they also contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, both of which are beneficial to your health.  Other ways to add a salty flavor is to use lemon juice, lime juice, or rice vinegar.  Switch out seasoned salt (ie: garlic salt) for herb-only seasoning, such as: garlic powder or onion salt. Vegetables are a great way of introducing antioxidants, fiber, minerals, and vitamins to your diet. Beans can add fiber and protein while making your soup thicker. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables. If you are using canned vegetables, however, make sure that they are low in sodium. Meat is a great way of adding protein to your meal, but it can also add unhealthy fats. Whenever you can, try to use lean meats, such as chicken and turkey, in your soups. If you can't replace the meat you are using, go for a lean or reduced fat option, such as:  Extra-lean or lean ground beef Ground chicken breast or turkey breast Turkey bacon or Canadian bacon If your soup recipe calls for pasta, noodles, or rice, try using whole wheat pasta, whole wheat noodles, or brown rice instead. If you don't like brown rice, you could also try wild rice or pearl barley. Whole grains are full of beneficial fibers, vitamins, and nutrients. There is...

TL;DR in English: Use a base that is low in fat. Watch the sodium. Add some vegetables or beans for extra fiber. Watch the kind of meat you add into your soup. Use whole grains. Go easy on the extras, such as bacon, cheese, and sour cream. Finished.

No matter why you are apologizing, remember that the goal is to make up with the girl and improve your relationship. At its core, an apology is an emotional concession that can have great returns if properly and sincerely delivered. It has been found consistently in studies that men have a far more difficult time of apologizing than women. If you count yourself among those who find difficulty in apologizing, approaching the act as a purely practical manoeuvre (at least at first) can help you get over that first hump. If you need to make an apology to a girl, then you are probably dealing with some pain as well. If you recognize that you're not feeling good  at the moment, you should see first things first and give yourself time to heal. Depending on how bad the situation is, this could mean minutes, hours or days. Don't let yourself put the apology off too long, however. Being silent long enough will be interpreted as a non-apology; that you aren't sorry and don't want to have anything to do with her. Again, interpretation of what is considered 'too long' will depend on the severity of the situation, and the strength of the relationship. Apologizing without meaning it or knowing why can make things worse than if you simply kept your mouth shut. If you rush into an apology, the woman will detect you're not being honest. Before you apologize, it's important you take a moment to stop and reflect. Why is she upset? Are the possibly other factors that are playing into her mood? How serious is the problem?  Put yourself in the woman's shoes for a moment. While you should be considering the way she is feeling, you should also imagine the way your actions have been interpreted by her in turn. If your apology is because of a certain thing that happened, try playing it out in your head. From there, regardless of who is to blame, you should have a better grasp why she is upset. Keep in mind that empathizing with why she is upset is distinct from necessarily admitting guilt. Even if you don't think you have done anything...

TL;DR in English: Acknowledge apologizing as a way to move forward. Give yourself time to relax. Understand why she is upset. Be sincere with your apology.

For adults, teenagers, and children, games can be lots of fun. Card games, board games, video games, figure out which works best for your group.  Card games are good because most people have cards and there are a lot of simple games. The game Spoons is a really good with a group, while something like Speed is better with just a few people. If you're playing Poker, use little pieces of chocolate or candy as money. That way it's just about fun instead of money. Some options for board games include Settlers of Catan, Scrabble, Bananagrams, and Clue. Clue is, especially, is an easy game to learn and fun because you get to accuse your friends of murder. Multi-player video games are great to play with your friends too. Have a Super Mario party or compete in the latest multiplayer racing game. There are lots of different ways to have a fun party, even if there are only a few of you. Get creative with your party and you'll definitely have fun.  Have a dance party. Put your iPod on shuffle and turn the lights down and dance away. You can check out dance moves on your favorite music video and have a laugh copying them. You can dress super fancy and learn some ballroom steps. Plan a theme party. This can be anything from a 1920s murder mystery to an Ascot tea party. This all depends on your ingenuity and that of your friends. Consider what your group is interested in and go for it. Have a baking or cooking party. Pick out some recipes to cook together, shop for the groceries together, and use teamwork to prepare them. You can laugh at your failures and delight in your successes. This is a fun and easy game to play anywhere you want. A "truth" is a question they must answer truthfully. A "dare" is an activity they must perform. You can also allow a certain amount on "chickens' per person which allows them to not complete the truth or dare.

TL;DR in English: Host a game night. Have a party. Play Truth or Dare.

Your therapist can refer you to a local support group or you can find your own. These meetings will connect you with other pregnant women with eating disorders and survivors of eating disorders. Organizations that offer support groups for pregnancy and eating disorders include SEED (UK) and the National Eating Disorder Association (US). They can encourage you to eat healthfully, see your doctor regularly, and strive for healthy, moderate weight gain. Just as importantly, they can offer love, compassion, and emotional support.  It’s crucial to avoid isolation, which can trigger an eating disorder. Try to stay engaged with the outside world.  Ask your friends and family not to make comments on your weight gain or changing body if these comments will make you feel bad. Pregnancy can be stressful, especially if this is your first baby. To help you regain a sense of control over your life, try attending classes on pregnancy and parenting. These classes may relieve some of your tensions or fears, helping you stay calm. Maternity centers and hospitals often offer Lamaze classes and parenting courses. You may be able to sign up for these through your obstetrician or online. If you’re suffering a crisis, know that you are not alone. Reach out to a helpline to talk to someone who can coach you through this difficult moment.  In the US, call the National Eating Disorder Association Helpline (US) at (800) 931-2237 or the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. In the UK, call the Beat Helpline at 0808 801 0677 to discuss your eating disorder or Samaritans at 116 123 if you are feeling depressed or suicidal. In Australia, call Butterfly National Helpline at 1800 33 4673  for support about your eating disorder or Lifeline Australia at 13 11 14. If you have friends or family members who judge you harshly, criticize your actions, or make you feel bad about yourself, avoid them.

TL;DR in English:


Remember to breathe and let go. Don't be concerned if it sounds weak or airy. Know that cracking is normal. Keep your larynx low. Keep practicing.

This doesn't only apply to work—also avoid challenging sensory situations, people who make you feel on edge, or activities that are difficult for you. You're dealing with loud and painful sounds—you don't need anything else on your plate. This can help you get into a zone and pass the time quickly. Try starting a fun project you've been looking forward to, talking with people (in person or online) who share your interest, or researching your favorite things. Think of the exercises that have been most helpful to you, and spend 5 or 10 minutes focusing on them. Whenever you find your thoughts wandering back to worries, gently guide them back to your exercise. Here are some ideas to try:   Meditation EMDR techniques Imagery  Engaging the senses (besides hearing) Progressive muscle relaxation Breathing Go to people who make you feel less stressed, and focus on them. Ask them about their day, or what is on their mind. If they're doing something, see if you can help. They can help distract you and make you feel a bit better. For disorders such as panic attacks, you may have been described anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax. Use this if you feel that a panic attack or severe stress is imminent. A small or moderate dosage may return you to a neutral mood. This technique helps some people de-stress. Remind yourself that you are capable and resourceful. Power pose in front of the mirror, give yourself a smile, and remind yourself that while the situation is tough, you're tough too.   "I'm relaxed and feeling peaceful. While fireworks startle me, I can breathe deeply and go back to feeling calm. I think I'll have a good night's sleep tonight." "I'm doing my best in a difficult situation. It stresses me out a little, and I'm allowed to be stressed. I know I'll be okay in the end." "I'm a resourceful woman. I've employed several noise-reduction techniques, and if I need more, I can get more. I can ride out this night and enjoy the fireworks." "I'm a strong person. Fireworks will not ruin my night." If you're really...

TL;DR in English: Stay away from stressful activities for the day. Harness the power of your special interests. Use relaxation techniques. Spend time with people who make you happy. Have medication ready as a last resort, if needed. Try positive self-talk. Talk about your feelings to a good listener. Take control. Enjoy the pretty lights.

Almost no instant coffee brands can compete with ground, but some are pretty decent. Try to find packaging labeled "freeze-dried," which tends to produce a truer coffee flavor than "spray drying." If the label doesn't specify, check the consistency: granules are more likely to be freeze-dried than powder is, though this is not a guarantee. Finally, more expensive brands tend to taste better.  If you're not sure where to start, try Medaglia d'Oro or Starbucks VIA Colombia. These tend to convert more coffee snobs than most brands. Instant espresso powder is a different product, meant for baking instead of drinking. Don't use water that's been sitting in your kettle, which can pick up off-flavors or become "flat" from repeated boiling. If you live in a hard water area or your tap water just tastes bad, put it through a water filter first. If you don't have a kettle, microwave a mug of water before adding the coffee. Microwaved water can "explode" if overheated. Prevent this by putting a wooden popsicle stick or teaspoon of sugar in the cup. Follow the package instructions the first time you try a brand. If it's too strong or too watery for your tastes, you can adjust the ratio of coffee and water later. Most importantly, use the same spoon and the same mug each time. If you switch to a different size each time, you can't pinpoint a ratio you enjoy. If there's no recommendation on the package, try 1 slightly rounded teaspoon (5mL) per 8 oz (240mL). Add just enough cold water to wet all the coffee, stirring it into a paste. This preparation gives your coffee a smoother flavor, although it won't always have a major effect. Instant coffee has already been extracted in water before drying, so the flavor is already set. This means the temperature of the water is much less important than for normal coffee. Instant coffee drinkers disagree over whether boiling water can affect the taste. If you're concerned, just let the kettle cool down for a couple of minutes first. Even if you prefer black coffee, most instant blends...

TL;DR in English: Buy quality instant coffee. Heat a kettle of water. Measure the instant coffee into a mug. Stir in a little cold water (optional). Pour in the hot water. Stir in the sugar and milk (optional). Taste and adjust. Store the leftovers in an airtight container.

Patches containing salicylic acid are available which you can put on the callus.  Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your doctor's recommendations for how often to change the patch. These medications must be applied carefully, because if they come in contact with the healthy, live skin around the callus, they may cause chemical burns.  Do not use these methods if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or are prone to numbness. In this case, consult your doctor. By crushing up aspirin tablets, you can make your own topical medicine and apply it.  Grind five aspirin tablets into a powder and add a half teaspoon lemon juice and a half teaspoon water. Mix until a paste forms. Apply the paste to the callus, not to the healthy, live skin surrounding it. Wrap it in plastic wrap and put a warm towel on it for 10 minutes. Afterwards scrub away the paste and any loose dead skin. The doctor will be able to examine it to confirm that it is a callus.  The doctor may prescribe a stronger medication to get rid of the callus. In extreme cases, the doctor may remove it with a scalpel. Calluses generally are not associated with infection, so if yours shows any of these symptoms, it should be examined by a doctor:  Redness Pain Inflammation Discharging blood or pus

TL;DR in English: Try over-the-counter medications for removing calluses. Apply aspirin as an alternative source of salicylic acid. See a doctor if these methods do not help. Contact a medical professional if your callus shows signs of being infected.

When we breathe moment to moment, we don't think about it. But when we start singing, we start realizing that we have to ration it to get through the measures and sometimes we end up inadvertently holding it at certain pitches. Don't do this. Breathe fully and deeply into the bottom of your lungs and keep the air flowing. If you stop it, you either won't make a noise or you won't be in falsetto. Always, always, always let go. Of everything. Loosen up, shake it out, and relax. Being tense and listening to your voice as it comes out of your mouth will only result in you holding your breath and not producing the best sound you're capable of. A lot of singing is actually in the mind – you are your only obstacle. Plenty of people avoid their falsetto (or even head voice at times) because it sounds weak. It doesn't have that oomph that the chest voice does. This is normal. This can be a very good sound – you just have to get used to hearing it. Take a look at Broadway in the recent decades as compared to in the earlier parts of the 20th century and you'll see a huge movement toward belting, using chest voice. No voice is better than the other – but they do go in and out of style. Every singer has a break (the passaggio), if not more than one. In futzing around with your different types of "voices," you'll likely crack. Until you get super comfortable with the way your vocal folds are stretching and vibrating together, this is going to happen. Relax. Singing over your break is something that takes practice and diligence for many. With time and usage you can strengthen weaker areas of your vocal folds and correct old habits that have you jumping from one voice to the other and never bridging the two. You know that little bit of your throat that moves up and down when you swallow? You can actually control that. Try it right now – take a look in the mirror and get your Adam's apple area to move downward. Can you keep it there while you sing? This opens up your throat, allowing air to flow through unobstructed. It also...
