Choose an aquarium tank. Dechlorinate the water in the tank. Keep the water between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a filtration system in your tank. Add plants and decorations to your tank. Light your tank.

Nothing will give you a better return on your investment than a little elbow grease. A cleaner house will look more appealing to your realtor when he or she helps you set a price, as well as to the appraiser the bank sends out when you have an offer. Here are some ideas: Make your house look more spacious by eliminating junky or unnecessary items. Get rid of battered furniture, decaying knick-knacks and piles of paper - or, if you can't stand to part with anything, throw your stuff in a storage unit until after the house sells. Remember that it's better to show a somewhat barren house than one that's filled to the brim with clutter. Once you have more room to work, undertake a thorough housecleaning. Not only should you do usual chores such as mopping or dusting, but focus on rarely-cleaned areas such as baseboards, grout and heating vents. Steam clean your carpets, and wash walls and windows. Wipe down the blinds, and remove any broken screens. Pressure-wash any siding on the outside of your house, as well as the sidewalks and driveways. If you don't have the time to undertake such a project, consider hiring a professional cleaning service. Many of them specialize in residential properties for lease or for sale. A common saying among realtors is, "If you can smell it, you can't sell it." Sometimes, people can't detect how their house smells because their noses are so accustomed to it. If you think your home smells fabulous, have a trusted friend confirm or deny this as soon as they walk in the door. If you keep pets, thoroughly shampoo carpets and furniture, and wash all bedding - you're not selling the bedding or the furniture, but they're capable of smelling up the house just the same. If you smoke, do everything you would for pets in addition to washing (and possibly painting over) the walls and ceiling as well as you can. When you know your realtor will be showing the house, try to make it smell good by baking something delicious beforehand (which you can put on the counter for your guests) or lighting a...

TL;DR in English: Do a basic cleaning. Get rid of clutter. Do a deep clean. Eliminate odors.

Lotion can help revitalize and moisturize dry patches to make your skin look vibrant. Apply a body lotion from your shoulders down to your toes before you put your bikini on. Make sure you rub the lotion all the way into your skin using gentle, circular motions. This is a great way to make you look thinner, and cover up any bruises or blemishes. Simply head to your nearest drug store to pick up a spray tan product. To apply, exfoliate your skin with a wash cloth, and then rub or spray on the tanner. Be sure to follow the directions on the package for proper application. If you do not want to give yourself a spray tan, try going to a professional. Most tanning salons offer spray tan services. Keep in mind, they can be expensive. A great way to feel more confident, and add style to your bikini look is to wear a cover-up. These come in a variety of styles, such as a cotton jersey halter, a fringe wrap skirt, or a lace kimono. They are the perfect thing to wear when you are not swimming, but just hanging out near the water because they allow you coverage without having to get completely dressed. Sun hats are a great way to protect your skin and look super chic. Try looking for a straw hat to match your bikini vibe. Regardless of what some may think, everyone can pull of a sun hat, especially when it is being worn with a bikini. One way to slim down your waist is to lift the breasts by either wearing a bikini top that has supportive underwire, or by using waterproof medical tape. To use the medical tape, start with the tape under the arm, and bring it inward, pulling the tape so that it lifts your breasts and pushes up your cleavage. You will want to use about three pieces of tape on each side for a secure hold.

TL;DR in English: Moisturize your skin. Apply a spray tan. Wear a bikini cover-up. Accessorize with a hat. Create the look of a slimmer waist.

This must be a clean pot made of steel or Pyrex, and should hold about two quarts (two liters) or more. "Hot ice" is non-toxic, so don't worry about ruining your cookware. Do not use a copper pot. Measure out three tablespoons (45 mL) baking soda into the pot. You cannot use baking powder, which contains other chemicals that interfere with the process. Measure out about one quart (liter) white vinegar, then pour it bit by bit into the container. It will fizz immediately, so don't pour too quickly or it might overflow. This measurement assumes you're using 5% acetic acid, which is a common concentration for commercial vinegar. This doesn't need to be a precise measurement, though. The vinegar (acetic acid) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) are reacting to produce sodium acetate, along with the carbon dioxide that causes all this fizzing. Give the liquid a good stir as it fizzes to make sure all the baking soda is mixed in, then wait for the reaction to end. If you still see a single grain of baking soda, add more vinegar until they all disappear. Any baking soda left in the liquid could freeze your "hot ice" before you want it to, later in the process. Vinegar is mostly water, which you'll need to boil away. Once about 90% of the liquid is gone — which could take half an hour of boiling or more — a crusty film will begin to form on the surface. This means all the excess water is gone and you need to turn off the heat as fast as possible. If you let too much of a crust develop, your liquid will get cloudy and not work very well.  If it does get very brown and cloudy, add a bit more vinegar and boil again. The sodium acetate starts out as "sodium acetate trihydrate," meaning it contains water. Once all the water around it is gone, those water molecules start to evaporate and the sodium acetate becomes "sodium acetate anhydrous," meaning "without water." As the water level gets lower, you'll notice powdery sodium acetate crystals sticking to the inside of the pot. You'll need these later, so use a spoon to...

TL;DR in English: Choose a large cooking pot. Add baking soda. Pour in white vinegar. Wait until the liquid stops fizzing. Make sure the liquid is completely clear. Boil until the first trace of a film appears on the surface. Scrape off the crystals on the side of the pot. Transfer to a sealed container. Chill the container in an ice bath. Add a bit of crystallized sodium acetate to your aqueous solution. Watch your hot ice form.

Ideally, your tank will be 10 gallons (37.9 L) in volume. You don’t want to overcrowd your tank. If you have a 10-gallon tank, for example, aim for about five guppies. This will simply help you maintain the tank better and keep your fish healthier. Some guppy breeders and enthusiasts might argue that you don’t need to follow that ratio, but the more fish you have in your tank, the more often you will have to clean it and change the water. Consider this when deciding what size tank to get, and how many guppies to keep in it. There are a few ways you can dechlorinate your water. You can let it sit with the lid open for about a week to let the chlorine evaporate, or you can buy a dechlorinating kit. It’s important to dechlorinate your aquarium, and any water you add to it in the future.  You can buy these supplies at a local pet supply store for a relatively low cost. You will also want to buy a chlorine testing kit, just to make sure the water is completely free of chlorine before adding your fish. Follow instructions on the dechlorination bottle. Nearly all tap water has a certain level of chlorine in it. You can use purified, filtered, or distilled water that is free of chlorine, to begin with, but to be safe, still test the water for chlorine before putting your fish in it.  Try to keep the pH level in your tank between 8/10 guppies like higher level pH so aim for around 7.5pH to help you keep the pH at a high you may want to add crushed coral. This is equal to about 24 and 28 degrees Celsius. Keep a thermometer in the tank to monitor the temperature. If you find it needs to be heated, you can purchase a small heater to place in the tank.  If you need a heater, make sure you buy one that is appropriate for the size of aquarium you have. For example, if you have a 5-gallon tank, you’ll need a less powerful heater than if you have a 20-gallon tank. Ask the associate at the pet supply store if you aren’t sure which heater you need. To avoid overheating your tank, it’s best to keep it out of direct sunlight. Use...

If you put on a harness, make sure it is loose enough. You should be able to put a finger or two between the harness and the guinea pig. If it's too tight, it could harm the guinea pig's back over time and chaff under his armpits. It may not be a good idea to put a harness on at all. Some owners have had trouble with harnesses harming guinea pigs' backs  after they've worn it several times. If you insist on using a leash, make sure you just do it in the yard. That is, you can use a leash to keep your guinea pig from wandering too far. However, you need to supervise the guinea pig the whole time. A leash isn't license to leave your guinea pig alone outside.  Also, don't tug on the leash. Just let your guinea pig roam about. Make sure the leash is always loose, and your guinea pig doesn't get tangled in it. While you can put your guinea pig in a harness, it's not a good idea to walk it on a leash. The tugging sensation can harm the guinea pig's delicate spine very easily. In addition, most guinea pigs won't take to walking, meaning they can't be trained to walk beside you on a leash.  In addition, guinea pigs can easily slip out of harnesses, so they can escape before you can catch them. Therefore, trying to walk a guinea pig in a street isn't a good idea. It could get away from you and be harmed.

TL;DR in English: Make sure the harness isn't too tight. Use leashes just for the yard. Don't walk your guinea pig.

There are two types of traps available for groundhogs: traps that kill the groundhogs immediately and traps that keep them alive, so you can take them somewhere and release them. Because the traps that kill groundhogs are dangerous to use and often end up killing house pets and other animals, they are illegal in many places. The safer and more humane option is a live trap, which uses bait to lure the groundhog into a cage that has a door that will lock shut. These traps are available at garden supply stores and can be reused as often as necessary.  If you prefer to use a trap that kills the groundhog and it's legal in your state to do so, call a professional groundhog extermination service to have them set the trap and deal with the groundhog after it's been caught. This is not recommended if you have pets that may wander near the trap. Relocating groundhogs is also illegal in some areas. If this is the case in your region, you'll need to call animal control to dispose of the groundhog on your property. In the spring, groundhogs are active, but they haven't yet given birth to their young. Trapping them before the babies are born will prevent you from having 4 extra groundhogs to deal with. Another benefit of trapping in spring is that the tunnels are easier to spot, since no foliage is covering them. Finally, groundhogs are extra-hungry this time of year because their favorite foods have yet to sprout. This means they'll be easily enticed by the bait you set out.  Plan to trap groundhogs in early spring, before the flowers and leaves come out in full force. You can also trap groundhogs in the fall. The best place to set the trap is close to the entrance hole to the groundhog's burrow. To find the hole, look for a place where the dirt at the ground's surface is disturbed, and follow it to a small hole or caved-in spot. You'll want to set the trap 5–10 feet (1.5–3.0 m) from the hole to make sure it's within easy reach. Determine where the groundhog high-traffic area is by looking for footprints, trails or where...

Because e-cigarettes are only lightly regulated by the U.S. FDA, and oversight worldwide is similarly limited, there is no way to know for sure what is exactly in the e-liquid that turns into vapor.  Your best bet is to seek out e-cigarettes from established companies that show at least some track-record of providing products of relative quality and safety (“relative” being the operative word, as no e-cigarettes should be called “safe.”)  If you want to wean yourself off nicotine dependency via e-cigarettes, it is best to choose the refillable, tank-type version as opposed to the “cigalikes” variety (which look more like traditional cigarettes and are pre-filled).  With the refillable type, you have more control over the amount of nicotine and flavoring you add, and can more readily reduce your nicotine amounts as desired.  Once again, however, there is no regulation over the contents of the e-liquid refills, so there is no way to know for sure that the claimed amount of nicotine is accurate.  Indeed, testing has indicated that some supposedly nicotine-free e-liquids actually contain nicotine. If you want to try to use e-cigarettes to help you quit smoking altogether, you almost certainly have to wean yourself off of traditional cigarettes first.  For many people, e-cigarettes provide a similar but distinct type of “fix,” because of differences in the smoking process, the contents of the cigarettes, and the settings in which you can smoke each type. This means that if you are smoking both traditional and electronic cigarettes at the same time, you may be trying to quit two types of addictions at once.  For most people, it is probably best to quit one smoking type at a time. Since e-cigarettes are not marketed or officially approved for smoking cessation, there is little clear advice on how best to go about using them in order to quit.  Generally speaking, though, the best option seems to be to steadily reduce the nicotine concentration in your e-liquid until you are smoking (supposedly) nicotine-free vapor. ...

TL;DR in English: Choose your e-cigarettes wisely. Stop smoking traditional cigarettes. Reduce your nicotine concentration over time. Anticipate nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Deal with the physical habit of smoking.

If you see brushing your teeth as a chore, you’re less likely to keep at it. Do what you can to make the process enjoyable. Choose products that you like, and that are comfortable for you.  Choose a toothpaste that you like. Toothpaste comes in many flavors including mint, anise, and cinnamon. They’re all essentially the same in terms of effectiveness as long as they contain fluoride. Be sure that your toothpaste has the ADA seal of approval.  Choose a toothbrush that fits comfortably in your hand and in your mouth. Soft bristles can feel good on sensitive gums and teeth and they will also protect your gums against gum recession. Rewards can be big or small, but they should be significant to you. Decide ahead of time what your reward will be, and how long you’ll have to keep up your routine to earn it.  Tell a friend or loved one what your reward will be. They can remind you if you start to lose motivation. When you earn your first reward, take the time to enjoy it. Then set a new reward for a new goal. Rewards don't have to be related to your teeth at all! You can take yourself out to a great meal, or splurge on a purchase you wouldn't otherwise make. No one can give you more accurate feedback on your progress than your dentist. Regular appointments for checkups and cleanings are essentially feedback sessions to see how your brushing has improved your dental health. Talk to your dentist about your efforts to brush regularly and the progress you’ve made. Ask your dentist to tell you what you might be doing wrong and how you can improve your brushing habits. Once you’ve been brushing your teeth regularly for a while, you may feel more confident. Your smile and breath are likely more clean and fresh than they were before. Take the time to enjoy that newfound confidence; it’s just what you need to stick with your new habit.

If the entirety of the root system isn’t removed, it’s possible that the weeds will regrow and return. Wait one or two days after you water or after it rains heavily so the soil has time to soak. Pulling weeds from wet soil will disturb surrounding plants less than dry soil. Instead of kneeling on hard ground or rocks, wear knee pads to prevent soreness and stiffness later. Gloves will help stop any skin irritation and can also prevent blisters from long days of pulling weeds.  If you do not have knee pads, laying down a cushion or folded towel is a good substitute.  Use gloves that are made from a non-stick, but breathable, material. This will make the weeds easier to pull up. Use the tool to dig around in the soil around the weeds. This can also help you dig up more established weeds. If you grab the weeds in handfuls, you may not pull out the taproot, or the root that provides most of the weed’s water. While it is more tedious, to prevent weeds from growing back, pull them one at a time. This ensures that you grab the weed by the main root. Twisting the weed will help break off smaller roots and make it easier to pull out.  Do not use a fast jerking motion when pulling, as this can cause large root sections to break off and regrow.  Put everything that you have pulled in a bucket so they do not germinate again and throw them in the trash. Do not put them in compost.

TL;DR in English: Water the weeds to loosen the root system. Wear knee pads and gloves to protect your body. Loosen weeds with a soil knife or garden fork. Grab and pull weeds individually rather than in clumps. Pull the weed from its base with an upward and twisting motion.

Rubber is especially prone to chipping or flaking after being painted. If you want to paint rubber, buy acrylic paints online or from a craft store for a lasting color. Painting rubber is the most temporary way to stain objects. Choose this method if you're unsure how permanent you want your dyed color to be. Mod Podge helps the paint stick to your object and prevent the color from flaking. Use a paint brush to cover the surface in a thin Mod Podge layer, and let it dry for 15-20 minutes.  Clean the rubber with soap and water first to remove debris for a more secure paint job. If you have any areas you don't want to paint, affix painter's tape over these areas before applying the Mod Podge. You can buy Mod Podge from most home improvement or craft stores. Dip a foam brush into the acrylic paint and apply it in even layers to the rubber object. When you've covered the entire surface in the paint, let it dry for 30-60 minutes and inspect the color's brightness. For a stronger color, apply 2-3 coats of paint. Wait for each coat to dry before applying another one, which should take between 30 minutes to an hour. After the last paint coat dries, hold the paint sealer's nozzle 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) from the surface and spray an even coating over the rubber. Let the paint sealer dry for 30-60 minutes before touching or using the rubber object. Even with paint sealer, acrylic paint may flake or chip over time. Reapply paint coats as needed to restore the rubber's color, spraying more paint sealer afterward.

TL;DR in English: Use acrylics to paint rubber objects. Apply a layer of Mod Podge over your object before painting. Use a foam brush to apply the acrylics. Spray a paint sealer over the rubber to preserve its color.

Before you start collecting your kitchen scraps, you need to know if you will be using them for a personal compost bin or if they will be going to a municipal composting program. Making this distinction is important because you can compost more food items in a municipal composting program than you can at home. For a municipal program, you can often collect all biodegradable kitchen scraps, including meat and dairy. Have a mini compost bin indoors that you keep near your meal preparation area. It should be something that is easy to fill up, transport daily to the compost bin, and keep clean. You could consider a small plastic container (there are fun tiny garbage cans with lids) or use something as simple as a ceramic bowl with a saucer over it. Locate your compost bin somewhere that is easy to access, so that you and family members will be encouraged to use it. The best kitchen scraps to add to your compost pile are those fruit and vegetable scraps because they break down quickly and do not attract rodents and insects in the same way that animal products do. Add all of your fruit and vegetable scraps, including those that have been cooked. While all animal products that are used in the kitchen can go into municipal composting bins, there are only a few that you should add to your home bins. One of the few animal products to add is egg shells, as these add calcium to the compost, which will help your plants grow. There are a variety of biodegradable items that can't be composted at home for reasons of health, hygiene and inability to break down. These include:  Meat and meat scraps Bones Fish and fish bones Oil or fat Pet or human feces (except for manure of herbivorous creatures such as rabbits and horses)

TL;DR in English: Decide how kitchen scraps will be used. Get a small compost container for indoors. Collect all fruit and vegetable scraps. Use only select animal products in home composting. Know what not to compost.

The alphabet is the bare bones of reading. In order to understand books, stories, sentences, or even words, you must first understand the letters of the alphabet. Teaching your child the alphabet will help her learn to recognize letters and sound them out so that they can later build them together to make words.  Use tactile learning tools. Buy a set of 3 in (7.6 cm) foam letters and/or blocks with letters of the alphabet to play with. As your child plays, tell them what each letter sounds like. Then ask them to try and reproduce the sound. You can gradually advance to having your child identify which letter makes a sound that you speak. "Quiz" them by showing them 3 letters and asking, for example, which one makes the "ah" sound. In addition to recognizing the appearance of a written letter, teach your child the sound each letter makes. Work on one letter at a time, or break it into small groups of letters. For example, one day you might work on A through D, the next day E through H, and so on. Vowels are the next step to progress to after learning the basic alphabet. They're a little easier to learn than consonants since there are only A, E, I, O, U, and Y. One easy way to teach vowels is to print out vowel workbook pages from a phonics website, or purchase a similar book at your local bookstore. These workbook pages typically show pictures and words, and often help break down the parts of a word. Matching the word with its corresponding image might help your child better understand the meanings of words.  You can find free vowel workbook pages online at websites like http://www.schoolexpress.com/fws/cat.php?id=2483. Show your child pictures and say the word each image depicts. Ask your child which vowel makes the sound for that word.  For example, when you show a picture of a cat and say "cat," ask your child to identify which vowel makes the "a" sound. Once your child has gotten the hang of vowels, you're ready to move on to consonants. Consonants can be trickier, in part because there are so many more of...

An eye catching pendant revitalizes any ensemble. You can also draw attention to your figure with a long necklace. Layer multiple strands at once to create a more dramatic effect. With bling of different sizes and styles your dress will fit in at any occasion.  Neutral metallics support a more conservative look. A necklace with chunky stones and bold color create a funky look. A tattoo inspired necklace with its intricate patterns is pure vamp. A wide metallic bangle captures a futuristic look while leather studded cuffs show off your inner rebel. Stacking multiple bracelets together will have a bolder effect. Tasseled dangly earrings and sparkly hoops are both strong choices. On the other hand, larger studs will draw extra attention to your face. Opt for smaller studs for a simpler, more elegant look. Go for a masculine inspired (larger sized) watch to show off your sporty side. Embellish your outfit simply, with a classic brooch. Alternately, pair the dress with something more modern like a button-inspired brooch, or think outside the box with one made of ribbons or feathers. If you're sick of your neckline, change it up with a detachable collar. For a semi-formal affair, pair your dress with a beautiful yet delicate neck scarf. A pashmina offers the most coverage for your neck and shoulders when it gets cold. Pick a metal belt and clasp it around the smallest part of your waist to show off your shape. You can also try a brightly colored or glittery belt that pops against the black. This will add shape to a looser dress or emphasize form in an already fitted one. Stay warm and stylish by adding a pair of tights to your ensemble. Try black tights for a more traditional look. For something understated pick a nude or a brown colored stocking. Try polka-dotted tights or sparkly stockings to add a sense of volume to your dress. Experiment with colorful stockings. Purple, orange, or even bright red are especially fun to try. Wear these bold colored tights on a night out rather than a day at the office.

If you've been unable to obtain your router's password under any of the conditions outlined by the previous methods in this article, your Wi-Fi password is unrecoverable and you'll need to reset your router to its factory settings.  Restoring the router to factory settings won't tell you the current password, but it will change the router's password back to the factory password which is printed on the bottom or back of the router. Resetting your router will also disconnect every item you have connected to the router. For this reason, resetting the router should be your last resort. This button is usually on the back of the router. You'll probably need a paperclip or needle to press the "Reset" button. Do so for at least 30 seconds to ensure that the router completely resets. The lights on the router should flash or briefly turn off when the router has officially reset. This information is usually found on the bottom of the router, and includes the following:   Network name or SSID — Your network's factory name that you'll see in the Wi-Fi menu.

Like in normal solitaire, this stock or "waste" pile determines which cards are next playable. However, rather than placing cards from the stock pile onto cards in pyramids, you will be taking cards from the pyramids and placing them onto the stock pile. The goal is to uncover and remove all the cards from the pyramids/peaks. The only cards you can move to the waste pile are those that are one number above or one number below the card on the stock pile. For example, if the card on the waste pile is a King of Spades, then you can only move a Queen or Ace to that pile. However, keep in mind that the Ace can be either a card above the King or a card below the 2, depending on how you’re playing. When moving cards from the card peak to place on the waste pile, the suit or color don’t matter. Different from regular solitaire, you can place a red diamond on a black spade or vice versa. The only thing that matters is that the numbers are consistent. When both of the cards that border a card have been moved, you can turn that card over. For example, if you remove every card in the fourth row of a pyramid, then you can turn over every one of the cards in the third row. Just keep in mind that if a card is still bordered or “pinned” by other cards, it can’t be moved. If you have reached an impasse with no playable cards from the pyramid and stock pile, then you can turn over a new card. You can do this as many times as you need to move cards from the pyramids. However, if you run through the whole stock pile, then you will have to start repeating cards again. Games are won when all the cards inside your peaks/pyramids have been placed into the waste pile. This means that all your playable cards have been completed. If the stockpile has been cleaned of cards while the pyramids still have cards, though, then the game has been lost.

Take the time to get to know her as a close friend before trying to progress to something more. You may worry about being put in the dreaded “friend zone,” but the truth of the matter is that many girls do need to feel secure with a guy before they will consider going out with him. Letting her know that you genuinely care about her as a human and a friend will establish that trust. Once you reach a level of friendship that allows the two of you to hang out without being in a group, invite her to spend some time with you alone.  If you want to be cautious, ask her to visit someplace familiar yet different, like a different coffee shop or a nearby park that you have both talked about wanting to visit. If you want to be a little bolder, ask her to spend the afternoon or evening with you without revealing your plans. You can take her out for a nice meal, an interesting show, or a night of dancing. Insist on paying. If she puts up a fuss about it, tell her that you want to pay for her since you were the one who asked her to come out with you. Unless you frequently throw gifts her way, a gift lets the girl know that there is something different—and special—about your time together this day when compared to any other day.  Flowers, chocolates, or stuffed animals are all fair game. Avoid expensive gifts like jewelry or designer clothes. After you have spent some time enjoying each other's company, sit down with her and tell her that you have something important to say. Once you have her undivided attention, tell her honestly that you have strong feelings for her and would like her to be your girlfriend.  Do not pressure, but at the same time, avoid blowing it off as no big deal. You must be genuine without being pushy. Good example: “I really enjoy the time I spend with you and consider you an important part of my life. I can't help but have feelings for you past those of friendship, though. If you feel the same way, or think you could see me as a boyfriend, then I'd like to go out with you.” Bad example: “So, yeah....

TL;DR in English: Befriend her. Ask her to spend time with you in a pressure-free setting. Consider giving her a small, inexpensive gift. Tell her seriously how you feel. Accept her answer calmly.

People tend to look left to right when they're searching for something. For this reason, it's best to choose a spot that's either above or below eye-level. This will help you choose a less obvious hiding spot and also help make your movements less noticeable. When you enter an area, pay attention to where your eyes fall naturally and pick out a place away from that zone. As soon as you decide on a hiding spot, crouch, stoop, or sit down and draw your arms and legs in. If you're tucked away in a narrow space, stand up straight and put your arms down at your sides. The less room you take up, the harder you'll be to see. It's still a good idea to get nice and compact even if your hiding spot offers complete concealment. If you're lurking behind a couch, for example, you're less likely to be spotted if you're curled up in a ball as opposed to stretched out. Once you get situated and you've shrunk down as much as possible, freeze yourself in place. Imagine that you're a statue or a piece of furniture. Do your best not to move until you know your pursuer is a safe distance away.  Resist the urge to scratch an itch or adjust your hair or clothing, no matter how uncomfortable you are. The human eye detects movement before anything else, especially when it's dark. All it takes is one wrong move to accidentally signal where you are. While you're in hiding, avoid making any unnecessary noise. Try not to cough, sneeze, clear your throat, or do anything else that might get you caught. Even rustling your clothes too loudly could give away your position.  Stifle your breathing by opening your mouth and taking deep, slow breaths. This is far less audible than panting nervously or breathing through your nose.  If you and another person are hiding in the same spot, don't talk. Not only will the sound carry, you may also be too distracted to notice if someone is approaching. You won't always be able to sneak into a closet or stow yourself under a table. When you're caught in an open space with no large items to hide behind, lie...

TL;DR in English: Stay out of your pursuer's line of sight. Make yourself as small as you can. Be still. Stay quiet. Camouflage yourself with nearby objects. Be prepared to leave your spot if you're in danger of being found.

To introduce a sentence that contradicts or contrasts with the previous sentence, start it with "However,…" This will alert your reader that a shift is forthcoming. Always put a comma after the "However," and follow it with a complete sentence.  You might write, "I was very excited to be invited to lunch. However, I had already made plans." Another example could be, "The pattern was certainly original. However, the new wallpaper did not match the furniture at all." When you have two full sentences that are in opposition or contrast to one another, but are closely connected, join them with a semicolon, the word "however," and a comma. This shows that the second sentence is in opposition in some way to the first.  Start with two sentences that contain opposition: "I would love to join you for lunch. I am too busy." Join them in this way: "I would love to join you for lunch; however, I am too busy." This will make the connections between the sentences obvious, and help your writing sound more cohesive. To interrupt a sentence that is already in progress, insert "however" between two commas. Like other uses of "however," this implies a contrast to the previous content, but in a way that makes the contrast sound a little less crucial.  Put ", however," after the subject of the second sentence: "I can't make it to lunch. You, however, are going to love that restaurant." Use it to divide a two-part verb: "I can't make it to lunch. I could, however, join you next week." Put it at the end of the second sentence: "I can't make it to lunch. I could join you next week, however."

TL;DR in English: Begin a contrasting statement with "However,". Join two contrasting sentences using "; however,". Use ", however," as an aside.

You can make a simple dress out of a pillowcase by creating a drawstring top. Once that is in place, all that's needed to complete the look is a nice belt or other accessory to cinch in the waist. An old bedsheet can be converted into a dress, providing plenty of fabric for a short, summer dress. This requires minimal sewing skills and is easy to make.

Negotiate the price if you’re in a small store. Search for coupons. Purchase in a store to receive more reliable customer service. Buy online for reduced prices and convenient purchasing. File the receipt, warranty, and trial paperwork.

You should have at least one substantial paragraph devoted to the specific topics that interest you. Describe the contemporary theories, books, scholars, or topics that excite and inspire you.  You can pose interests as a question. This makes your writing engaging, and shows your ability to formulate research questions. For instance, you might write something like “the question I keep turning to in my research is: How did gender-based concerns shape the epistolary novel and related genres in eighteenth-century France?” Let the details speak in your statement. This will excite the admissions committee, and make your personal statement stand apart from boring, stale, and vague essays.  For instance, write something more than “I gained significant experience as an intern in a chemical engineering lab that I will apply to my graduate study.” Instead, try something like “While interning at the UC Berkeley Chemical Engineering Lab, I discovered a new method for crystallizing citric acid. In my article published in the New England Journal of Chemistry, I explained how this can potentially transform the industrial production of this compound. I intend to pursue research on these applications during my graduate study.” Don’t be afraid to use the technical lingo of your field. Remember you are writing to your peers who want to know you are knowledgeable. A statement of purpose is no time to be modest. Don't boast, but be forward about your accomplishments. Remember you want to impress admissions committees!  This means don't settle for something like “As an undergraduate, I excelled academically.” Instead, show specific evidence of your accomplishments: “A $2000 grant from the Louisiana Historical Society to fund my research on material culture in Antebellum African American daily life. The senior thesis I wrote reporting my findings earned the LSU Library Undergraduate Research Award.” If there are specific professors you want to work with in graduate school, mention them in your statement of purpose.

Yes, it seems remarkably uncomplicated and highly un-technical, and there are really no acronyms to cover it. However, it's important to realize that from the outset, you have to like the sound the amp makes relative to the style of music you play.   A Marshall amp sounds absolutely amazing—if the style of music you're playing falls in to the Van Halen, Cream, or AC/DC camp. A Fender amp also sounds amazing—if you're going for more of a Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jerry Garcia or Dick Dale sound. The best way to determine what an amp sounds like is to play your guitar through it. If you are more of a beginner, not confident about your chops, but want an amp you can "grow into," have somebody at the store play it for you. The critical issue here is how amp "a" sounds when compared to amp "b," so do whatever it takes to get a good comparison. Amps are rated by wattage rather than physical size (although high-wattage amps do tend to be physically larger).    Lower wattage tube amplifiers will tend to create harmonic distortion at lower volumes, which is preferable in practice, studio, and miked stage performance.  Higher wattage tube amplifiers will distort at higher volumes—which will require more creative mixing for live situations. The wattage has an effect on both the actual and perceived sound volume. In general, it takes 10 times the wattage of an amp to double the perceived volume. For example a 10-watt amp will sound half as loud as a 100-watt amp The wattage and cost of an amp are rarely related, as 10 watt amps can be two, three, or even ten times the cost of a 100 watt amp—depending on the quality of the components and the design. A knock-off 100-watt solid-state amp is inexpensive to produce compared to a boutique 5-watt tube amp. The sound quality experienced from an amplifier can be determined by many things, including (but not limited to):   the preamp tubes used power amp tubes used the wood material used for the speaker cabinet the type of speaker cones the resistance of the speakers the guitar used the...

TL;DR in English: Use your ears. Evaluate your needs. Understand what defines an amp's overall tone. Learn the categories.

Plumb it up with a builder's spirit level if desired backfill the hole, and tamp the fill material to stabilize it. Some contractors prefer to dump dry pre-bagged concrete into the hole and sprinkle with water.  This would decrease the finished strength of the concrete by as much as 80% as you can not control even mixing or water proportions. A damp sand feel to the concrete is enough to complete the chemical reaction to make the concrete hard.  Adding more water can help to make the concrete easier to place but will dramatically reduce the finished strength. Use 3 parts sharp masonry sand to 1 part type 1 (or type N) concrete for a strong mortar mix or add 2 parts gravel to bulk up each mix. If you are setting a number of posts, consider renting a portable mixer. There is only one hard-and-fast rule when you're digging a fence posthole: Dig a hole for the post that is half as deep as the fence is high. Concrete makes a wooden post rot faster.  The wood will rot sooner or later and you will have to dig out the concrete when you replace the post.  Instead put a rock/slate into the hole for the post to rest on and fill around it with rocks/gravel and finally sand which you can pound down to keep the post straight.

TL;DR in English: Install your posts.'" Install the posts, pole, or other item for which you have dug your hole. Use fine gravel tamped down to the bottom six inches  (15 cm) and set your post. Plumb the post and install cross bracing on opposite sides to hold the plumb. When using concrete to set the fence posts in place be sure to use proper concrete working techniques to avoid weak fence post anchors. Use the minimal amount of water to mix concrete for maximum strength. For large projects it is more cost effective to make your own concrete mix as opposed to using bagged concrete. How deep to dig the hole?  Why use concrete?

If you’re in a local store, you may be facing overpriced products. Talk to your salesperson to negotiate these prices down to match the minimum prices you can find for the product online. Larger chains should already match these minimum prices. If you face resistance in this conversation, try telling your salesperson that you’ve found the same product for a better price elsewhere. While they may tell you that you’re welcome to make your purchase where you’d like, they might also take the opportunity to prevent you from walking out the door. Both stores and online vendors should have coupon options available. Search online for printable coupons to take in the store with you, or apply promotional codes at the end of your online purchase. You can also search your town’s weekly advertising circular for local couponing options. There are a variety of online options for finding coupons. Honey is an internet add-on that will automatically search for and apply coupons to your online purchases, or you can use RetailMeNot.com to look up specific stores. Buying your mattress in a store means that you have a physical location and specific person to visit if you have problems with your product. When you buy in a store, you’re usually guaranteed assistance in moving and setting up the mattress. Online purchasing will allow you to avoid haggling with a salesperson over prices. However, be aware that your purchase may not meet your expectations, especially if you didn’t visit a store to test it out. It may also be more difficult for you to return a mattress purchased online. Note that online vendors may only ship “compressed,” or rolled-up, memory foam mattresses that need about a day to fully decompress before you can sleep on them. Whether you make your purchase online or in the store, set aside a specific place on your computer or in your house for your purchasing records. You should be sure that the receipt, warranty paperwork, and any trial period agreements are somewhere that you can easily access and won’t forget about.

Be creative. Keep your content accessible. Include a link to your website. Sell directly through Snapchat. Buy your own Snapchat filter.

Don’t spend more time than needed on this. Review your relationship in order to move on. Ask yourself if he was right for you. Keep your emotions in check. Examine how you deal with fights and disagreements.

Your Snapchat stories won’t leave a lasting impression if they’re no different from anyone else’s. Instead of simply sharing selfies or broadcasting photos of your lunch, highlight some unique characteristic or mode of presentation that will help you stand out. More people will be motivated to follow you if they can’t get your type of content anywhere else.  Give your account a distinct theme. Your snaps might be centered around documenting thrill-seeking adventures, touring local eateries or even performing short comedy sketches.  Try not to make the same type of post all the time. This can quickly get repetitive. Always be looking for unusual or exciting moments to share. Strive to be the only person doing what you do on the app. This may be the most important criteria of all. No one wants to feel like they’re being sold something, and if you’re not careful your users will catch onto the fact that you’re using your account to do the bidding of other companies. The snaps you post to your story should be personalized, authentic and come from a place of genuine interest.  Package your stories in creative, engaging ways that allow you to relate to your followers’ preferences. Give your Snapchat followers a more interactive experience by asking questions, posting surveys and urging them to share and post their own responses to your stories. New advances in social media technology have made it possible for users to embed URL links through apps like Emoticode. Downloading one of these programs will allow you to share the online address of your personal or business website to your followers. It will be much easier to get new eyes on your page if people aren’t forced to open a separate browser to find it. If you make a living by selling a particular product or service, be sure to display a link to your online store so that interested followers know where to go to make purchases. Teaming Emoticode with a money-processing program like Snapcash can make it possible to turn your account into an entertainment hub and...

Some libraries will let you post advertisements on their bulletin boards. Keep in mind, though, that some prohibit the promotion of commercial events or companies, so always check your library's policy. Many colleges allow flyers to be put up around campuses in specifically designated areas. However, you should always check the rules of the campus before posting your materials. Some campuses require that you have the materials approved by student affairs or another department before putting them up.  Also, many have rules about how you can hang materials. For example, some may only let you use staples or pushpins. Bring 1-2 copies if you need approval; you'll likely need to get the material stamped, so you want to make all your copies after you get your stamp. Respect the tear-down policy. The flyers will often need to be removed by a certain date. Many businesses have bulletin boards where you can post publicity materials. Ask at the front or look around to see if you see one. You may also check local threads about distribution in your community to see what businesses accept flyers and other materials. Try to keep flyers with when you're out and about so you can put materials up when you see a board. Social media is a great place to get the word out about your product, service, or event. Create a page for what you're trying to promote, then make posts about it. Make sure to include promotions, as well as other engaging information to get people to engage. Invite people you know to "like" your page and ask them to encourage their friends and family to do the same. Typically, you can't post flyers on things like telephone poles, streetlights, barriers, bridges, and other public structures. While some people ignore these laws, the city you live in can fine you based on the information you're providing on the flyer.

TL;DR in English: Look for bulletin boards at your local libraries. Place flyers on college campuses in bulletin boards and kiosks. Check for community bulletin boards at local businesses. Go online to "hang" your publicity materials. Avoid putting flyers on public property if your area forbids it.

It might sound counter-intuitive, but going over what went wrong is an important step in healing, and yet it can also also prolong hurt feelings and confusion if you overdo it. How much time you need depends entirely on you, but aim to find the right balance. Go over your relationship to find the answers you need, and then put it behind you. For example, if he's grown distant because he's started hanging out with a much different crowd, acknowledging this is necessary for you to come to terms with what happened, but dwelling on it won't really accomplish anything. Identify what went wrong, but avoid the temptation of using your answers as a means to correcting mistakes and winning him back. Instead, aim to learn from your experience so you can apply those lessons to future relationships. Keep the future in mind, not the past. For instance, let's say that he broke things off because you betrayed a secret that he told you in confidence. Whether he can trust you again is up to him. All you can do is learn from this so you can avoid repeating the same mistake with someone else. Whether your relationship was romantic or platonic, perhaps the easiest explanation of why things went wrong is that the two of you weren’t well suited for each other. Evaluate your own wants, needs, hopes, and interests. Compare them with his. If they’re wildly different, also look back on other guys in your life. Ask yourself if they fall into a pattern so you know what to avoid in the future. Emotions are a fact of life, so don’t feel guilty about feeling whatever feelings come to you. However, keep in mind that a successful, mature relationship often requires you to have some (if not total) control over those feelings. Evaluate how often you allowed yourself to be swept away by them, especially the negative ones, like anger. Things may have been great between you two as long as everything else was fine, but his feelings may have changed after the two of you found yourself at odds. Think back about how you handled yourself in those...

People on the street are more likely to stop if you're playing an instrument well and can make it sound good. If you already know how to play a specific instrument, then focus your time and energy practicing your technique so you can get a better sound and play more fluidly. Try different playing techniques so you can continue to learn and master your instrument. You can play music on the street with any instrument you want as long as you're able to play it well. Smaller instruments, like the ukulele and violin, may not cut through the sound of a large crowd or a busy street so it may be difficult to hear. If you don't already play an instrument, find something that makes a loud noise, such as a trumpet, saxophone, drum, or electric guitar. Learn the instrument as well as you can so you can perform well when you find a place to set up. If you're unfamiliar with the instrument, consider taking lessons so you can learn proper techniques. If you can't play an instrument and aren't able to find one, you can always sing instead. Look for a microphone and a small amp you can use while you're performing so your voice stands out from the rest of the crowd. Practice singing your favorite songs as well as scales so you can improve your vocal control and technique.  You don't need a microphone to sing on the street if you already have a loud and strong voice. See if other performers want to get together so you can form a street band. Popular music is easily recognizable and makes it easier for a crowd to jam along with you. See what songs are currently popular on the radio so you can find the chords and lyrics for them. Look for classic songs that many people would know as well, such as hits from the 80s and 90s, so people can sing along and grow more interested in your performance. If you're playing a percussion instrument like drums, then you may not be able to play popular music as well as someone who can play guitar or sing. Instead, you may practice difficult rhythms from songs you already know or play your drums...

TL;DR in English: Choose an instrument that you already play for your performance. Play a loud instrument so people can hear you over other noises. Sing if you don't know how to play an instrument. Learn popular music that a lot of people will recognize. Plan at least an hour of songs to play so your material stays fresh.

You may want to do this by subject (blue for algebra, green for chemistry, red for English, etc.) or by type of assignment (blue for tests, green for homework, red for projects, etc.). Choose whichever method you think will be most helpful for you. You can do this with colored pencils, pens, highlighters, or even colorful sticky-note flags. On the first day of each week you should scan your planner to see what is due or what events you have. This will give you a good idea of what you will need to do through the week as well as help your manage your time efficiently. For example, if you have a lot of exams or a large essay due during a particular week, it might not be a good idea to schedule other things, like parties. This will give you an idea of what you need to do that day and help your prioritize assignments. It also ensures that you won’t forget anything and will avoid panicking the next day when you realize you didn’t do everything that was assigned.  Start with assignments that are due the following day. If you have extra time that evening, you could do the other assignments to get ahead of schedule. If none of your assignments are due yet, consider doing the easiest ones first to get them out of the way. Alternatively, you could try doing the hardest one first. You never know when you may want to look back and check on something. If you don’t want to keep them in your planner, tear them out and store them in a box or a desk drawer. Some people like to fold the old pages of their planners towards the spine. This will create bulk, but it will also make it easier to find the newest page.

TL;DR in English: Color code your planner. Look ahead. Review your planner before you start your homework. Keep old pages.

If you wish to paint other walls, you can move onto them at this time. Remember to apply painter's tape to the trim, ceiling, and adjacent walls so that you get nice, clean lines. Take a close look at the blending between your ombre. If you see any missed patches, touch them up using a smaller paintbrush and the right paint color for that section. The painter's tape is meant to prevent this from happening, but there is still a chance that some paint got underneath the tape. Check the trim, ceiling, and adjacent walls for any bleeds. If you see any, cover them up with a clean brush and a matching paint color. Just because something feels dry to the touch does not necessarily mean that it is completely dry and ready to use. Many types of paint require a few days in which to cure. Check your can of paint for more specific drying and curing times. At this point, your room is ready to use! If you notice any lingering paint smell, leave a window open for a few days so that it can dissipate.

TL;DR in English: Remove the painter’s tape from the trim, ceiling, and adjacent walls. Touch up any mixed patches with a smaller brush and matching paint. Touch up any bleeds on the trim, ceiling, and adjacent walls. Allow the paint to finish drying and curing. Remove the drop cloth and replace any outlet or light switch covers.

While some hairstyles may work best with freshly washed, perfectly clean hair, the French knot actually works best with slightly dirty hair. When hair is immaculately clean, it’s often silky and hard to hold in place. While satin hair is often nice, it will slide out of your pins and the hairstyle won’t hold for the entire day. Hair that hasn’t been washed in a day or two will be full of natural oils that will help you create a shape that stays. If you have your heart set on wearing a French knot right now but you just washed your hair, don’t worry. You can mimic second day hair with product, which will be discussed later. Before you start creating your French knot, it’s important to work out all the tangles and knots. Begin combing from the bottom, slowly bringing your comb higher and higher. Don’t tug on your hair, as that can cause breakage. If you come across a tangle, gently focus on that section of hair until it’s untangled. Continue combing until you’re confident all of the tangles have been worked out. This step is especially important if your hair was recently washed, but it’s helpful to use a product on second or third day hair as well. Dry shampoo or texturizing spray both add a bit of “grit” to your hair, giving it texture that will keep it in your bobby pins. If your hair is silky and sleek, spray your hair with one of these products to make it a bit more coarse. Start spraying the product about an inch from your roots, coating your hair thoroughly and then running your hands through your hair to work the product in.

Despite the stereotypes and common misconceptions, there are no real meaningful differences among generations in the workplace. In fact, Millennials have many of the same career goals than any other generation. Many people have the notion that Millennials jump from job to job more quickly than the average worker. While Millennial’s aren’t as stagnant in their jobs as Boomers, the fact is that Millennials usually tend to stay longer at one job than their Gen-X counterparts. Remember that no generation can be summed up by blanket statements. Just because you meet a lazy or ineffective worker that is of Millennial age doesn’t mean that all Millennials are like that one person. Keep an open mind and remember that, when it comes down to it, Millennials are basically the same as you!

TL;DR in English: Recognize that many stereotypes about Millennials are untrue. Debunk the belief that Millennials job hop at an abnormal rate. Help fight against harmful Millennial stereotypes.

You should have three tablespoons of fat. Place the pan with the fat back on the stove. Add three tablespoons of flour to the fat and stir. You should cook the mixture for one to two minutes, stirring constantly. Make sure to scrape any browned bits free from the bottom and sides of the pan. You will want to have 2 cups of dripping mixture. Measure how much drippings you have and then pour the drippings into a mixing bowl. Add the liquids of your choice so that you have two cups of drippings.  Add pork broth or stock to your drippings for a truly salty, pork flavor. Add sherry or red for a more gourmet gravy. Gravies benefit from a bit of acidity. Wines or sherries add a depth of flavor to the gravy that comes from the addition of the acidity. Some people enjoy making gravy by mixing the drippings with a can of cream of mushroom soup. Stir both mixtures in the pan over medium heat. The gravy should become smooth and thick. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is not thick enough for your taste, add another tablespoon of flour. Enjoy!

TL;DR in English: Put the fat back on the stove. Cook the flour and fat over medium heat. Add ingredients to your drippings. Add the drippings mixture to the flour and fat mixture. Pour your gravy over your pork and any other side dishes you may have cooked. Finished.

Simply moving around throughout the day can greatly reduce your stress level. If you don't exercise regularly, begin an exercise program. This can help you better manage your emotions and may eliminate some stress in your life.  Pick an activity you enjoy, as you'll be more likely to stick to it. For example, if you enjoy long and aimless walks, try to walk a few miles a day after work. Ease into any new routine. You will have to start small, especially if you haven't exercised regularly in awhile. It's a good idea to talk to your doctor before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have a chronic heart condition. Poor sleep can worsen existing stress. Make a commitment to getting a solid block of sleep each night. You may find yourself feeling less stressed throughout the day.   Stick to a sleep schedule. This will help your body's natural circadian rhythm. You'll feel tired at bedtime and energized in the morning. Even on weekends, try to wake up and fall asleep at the same time each day. Choose a relaxing bedtime ritual that you engage in away from bright lights. For example, read a book or do a crossword puzzle. Bright lights from electronic screens can make it difficult to sleep, so put these away when you start getting ready for bed. Make sure your bedroom is sleep friendly. Block out any unwanted noise and keep the temperature between 60 and 67°F (15.6 and 19.4°C). You may have to get a fan or air conditioner. If you're very busy especially, you may not actually make time for yourself to relax. Many people see fun and relaxation as self-indulgent. For your emotional wellbeing, however, relaxing should be a priority.  You probably have more time than you think you do. Find a chore or obligation you could cut down on. For example, maybe you don't need to do the dishes immediately after dinner. Let them sit in the sink overnight, and take that time to do something you enjoy. You can read a book, watch a movie, go for a walk, or call a friend. Do anything that helps you unwind. It's important to...

TL;DR in English: Exercise. Improve your sleep. Make time to relax. Change your diet.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicates that some Agriculture and Food Safety Technicians may obtain a position without a post-secondary degree, but as an alternative it would require previous experience instead.  For this type of inspector, an education that has focused on biology, animal sciences, food sciences, or something similar are the best options. Many post-secondary institutions offer science degrees that may have specialties in agriculture and/or food-related topics at the undergrad level.  Degrees that are specifically in agriculture and food safety tend to be at the graduate level. In the United States, the Department of Agriculture employs inspectors through their Food Safety and Inspection Service and through their Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) employs Food Safety professionals in their Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.  In the private sector many agricultural organizations and food producers employ agriculture or food safety professionals to inspect and assess crops, animals and output. Agriculture and/or Food Safety professionals usually focus on a specialty of some kind, such as carbon management, microbiology, consumer safety, and import.  Each specialty may require slightly different qualifications that you need to be aware of before deciding which roles you wish to apply to. The Department of Agriculture requires that inspectors pass a written test in order to qualify for an entry-level position. Certification is not required for Agriculture and/or Food Safety professionals, but some organizations may require certification for certain inspector positions.  If not required, becoming certified will definitely help your job prospects.  The American Society of Agronomy offers certifications in a variety of specific agricultural disciplines. The Soil Science Society of America offers certifications specifically for the soil science specialty. The American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) offers...

TL;DR in English:


Do a ponytail for a classic look. Try a high bun for an elegant vibe. Do a simple braid to keep your hair out of your face.

Search your home for something you can use to reduce the friction between the slide and teeth of the zipper. This could be a bar of soap, a tube of chapstick or even a bottle of Windex—almost any type of smooth, slick substance will do the trick.  Some other options include wax candles, petroleum jelly, crayons and lip balm. Since so many different improvised lubricants can be effective, you should have a solution close at hand whether you’re at home, work or on the road.

TL;DR in English: Grab a makeshift lubricant.

Keep pushing it until the glue stick is as deep as it can go. Hold it steady, if you need to. Try to glue the thinner kind of hot glue stick rather than the thicker kind. Make sure that the top/length side of the cone is facing upwards, towards the ceiling. Hold the trigger for a few moments until glue starts to come out of the nozzle. Once you see glue coming out of the tip, release the trigger and extinguish the flame. Your hot glue gun is now ready to use. Working quickly, make a line of hot glue wherever you need the glue to go. Gently push the glue stick into the nozzle to help force the glue out. At some point, you may need to heat the glue up again by igniting the lighter.

TL;DR in English: Insert a hot glue stick into the cone. Hold the lighter parallel to the table. Ignite the lighter and let the glue heat up. Release the trigger. Use the hot glue gun.

Release and set the brake repeatedly in an attempt to help dislodge any ice from the brake system. Shovel snow or arrange other material along the sides of the vehicle.  Doing this will create a path for air flow from front to rear of the vehicle, minimizing “losses” from under the vehicle’s sides.  The objective is to get the heat created by the engine and circulated to the radiator at the front of the vehicle, to the rear of the vehicle where most of the parking brake components are located (adjust for locations that differ from those offered in this article).  Creating a “channel” under the vehicle by piling snow, etc. in the space under the sides of the vehicle accomplishes just that. If ice is preventing the release of your parking brake, warming up the car can help melt the ice and free the brake. Start the car and leave it running for at least 10 minutes before attempting to release the parking brake. Wait outside the vehicle while it is running. Once the engine has warmed, the heated air pulled through the radiator by the fan and heat created by the exhaust system will pass under the length of the vehicle.  The more effort used to “seal” the open spaces under the sides of the vehicle, ensures that the warm air passes under its entire length and allows the thaw process to complete in the least amount of time.

TL;DR in English: Start the car first. Block as much of the open space between the ground and sides of the vehicle if the brake is still frozen. Allow the car to warm up.

A pony tail is a simple, classic hairstyle that works on nearly all hair types, curly hair included. To do a classic ponytail, gather your hair in back. You can gather all your hair, or just clip back part of it. A pony tail can fall high or low, depending on your preference. Once your hair is gathered, put the bungee in place or wrap an elastic band around your hair.  You can even create a slightly different look by parting your hair in the middle or to the side when creating a low ponytail. Consider going for a hair bungee over a conventional elastic bands. Curly hair may be too thick for the usual rubber bands. You can pick up hair bungees at most beauty stores and salons. They're elastic bands with 2 clips on the end. You would pull the band around your hair until it forms a ponytail, and then clip the bands together. If your hair feels too tight, try gently loosening the bungee or band. If you can't loosen it adequately, take your hair out of the ponytail and try again. A pony tail should take less than 5 minutes. A high bun is a quick, classic style that can be particularly flattering for curly hair. As with the classic ponytail, there are some special considerations to take when putting your hair in a high bun. To start, use your fingers to gather your hair in a high ponytail. Aim to have your bun resting towards the top of the back of your head. Then, use an elastic band or hair bungee to secure your hair.  From here, you can pad your hair gently with your hands or a soft-bristled brush, creating a bun shape. You can use a large scrunchie or a hair donut, which is a large and thick elastic band, to secure the bun shape you've created. Simply tuck the ends of your hair under the scrunchie or donut. If your hair still feels a bit loose, you can place some bobby pins around the base of your bun to secure it. You can also spritz your hair with a light bit of hairspray to keep the style in place. Alternatively, you could do a messy bun or make a top knot bun. If you have curly hair, you can try a simple...

You can't reasonably advertise to every person who needs a website designed, taxes filed, or whichever service you plan to provide. What you can do is figure out what specific benefits you're best at providing, and consider who specifically would be interested in them. If you stay away from generic statements and describe yourself as a specialist instead, you can focus your marketing efforts where they will be most successful.  If your clients are individuals, search blog databases or the internet in general for popular blogs related to your company's service, product, or mission statement. These should tell you what your clients are interested in, and specific problems they have that you could offer to fix. If your clients are organizations, use the advanced search settings on a database such as CrunchBase to narrow down clients by location, type, and other attributes. Once you've narrowed it down to a list of a few dozen to a few hundred organizations, you can contact these with proposals targeted to their needs. . Before you start advertising or launch a social media promotion, you should sit down and do the hard work of planning your marketing campaign. Consider how much money you are willing to spend on marketing, then research how you can spend it for maximum effect.   This article on online marketing strategies may contain additional advice. The easiest way to evaluate whether a marketing plan is a good idea is to ask other experts. Don't contact your direct competitors for advice, but do send questions to people running business that provide services to the same group of people. If you're a wedding photographer, run your ideas past a florist; if you are a consultant in a specific industry, talk to other consultants who provide the same companies with different services. If you've determined that online marketing is a good idea, decide whether to use social media, a company website, or both. Every social media account, blog, or company news feed should be regularly updated with promotions or news about...

TL;DR in English: Make your service as specific as possible. Create a marketing plan Consider your social media presence. Create content for a personal or company website Advertise through paid advertisements or by contacting website owners directly. Attend conferences your clients attend.

You may lie on your back on the floor or otherwise place yourself in a comfortable position. Make sure that nothing will distract you (unplug your phone, close your door, ask people not to disturb you, etc.). Allow your breath to fall in and out of you, unobstructed.  Notice any place where your breath begins to catch.  Allow your breath to touch that place until it opens and relaxes. Be sure not to judge your observations.  Allow yourself to be in the state you are in.  Also know that your state is flexible and can change. Start from the top of your head and move your way down. Are you lifting your brow? Are you holding your eyes closed too tightly? Are you flaring your nostrils? Are you curling your lips in? Are you pulling your mouth into a frown? Are you pulling your mouth into a smile? Is your jaw relaxed? Is your neck relaxed? Imagine that you are delivering all of the oxygen from your breath straight to the point on your face that is tense. Continue until your entire face and neck are relaxed. You should feel your sinuses open up and your circulation become better (your may feel more warmth or tingling in your skin). Your expression may feel very different. Do not judge yourself, just notice what you notice. Allow each point of tension to be filled with your breath.  Allow these places to open and relax.  Pay close attention to the state of your body as this tells you a lot about how you move through the world. If at any time that you are studying your new body, you feel tensions creeping back, take another deep breath and release this tension. You may be shocked because you look a little different.  Do not do anything, just observe how you have changed. They may comment that you look a little different.  Your voice may sound different as well.  You may seem more confident, more calm.  Don't let this disturb you. If you feel the tension creeping back, take a deep, silent breath and release the tension again. While you are talking to your friend or family member, allow yourself to be expressive with...

TL;DR in English: Get comfortable. Close your eyes and pay attention to your breath. Move your attention to your facial muscles. Concentrate on any tension in your face and take a deep breath in. Take the time to do this throughout your entire body. After you are done, go over to a mirror and look at yourself. Talk to someone you know. After you have mastered talking to people close to you, maintain your presence when walking around school, work, or outside. When you walk down the street, try to make prolonged eye contact with strangers.

This will ensure Finder is the active app. Another way to verify this is to look in the top-left corner of your screen, which should say Finder. It's in the menu bar at the top of the screen. It's near the bottom of the menu. Alternatively, press the ⌘ and J keys at the same time to reach the menu. Click on the slider bar under "Icon size" and drag it toward the right edge of your screen. The further to the right you move the slider, the bigger the desktop icons will become. Now, your desktop icons will be bigger.

Do not allow yourself to be isolated. Avoid internalizing criticism. Don't feel guilty or beholden. Stay true to your beliefs. Be willing to walk away from an unhealthy relationship.

If you're away from home when you get stuck in hail, you can place your floor mats over your car windows. They probably won’t cover your entire windshield or back window, but they can offer some coverage. Place the floor mats on your windows with the fabric side facing up. This way the feet or grippers on the bottom of the mat will be on the window, and the mats won't slide around as much in high winds. You can find car covers at most auto supply stores and some grocery stores with automotive sections. You’ll need to know the make, model, and year of your car, because most car covers are specific to those classifications. Blankets or tarps can shield the car and absorb the impact of the hail, which can help prevent cracked class, dented metal, or chipped paint. Drape the blankets over the top of your car, from the back window all the way over the windshield. If you can, you should also hang blankets down the side to protect your smaller side windows, too.  The more blankets you can use, the better. You should have at least one layer of blankets covering your whole car, but if you can double or triple up the blankets, it will give your car more protection. If you’re short on blankets, cover your windows first. Duct tape the blankets at the bottom of your car. It shouldn’t damage your paint, but you might have a sticky residue after you remove the tape.

TL;DR in English: Throw your floor mats over your windshields if you don't have a cover or blankets. Use a car cover. Cover your car with blankets or tarps if you don't have a car cover.

Larger or overweight cats may have trouble maneuvering inside the litter box if it is too small. If you are weighing up the different sizes, always pick the larger size. If the litter box is too small, your cat is more likely to stand in its own waste and the litter is more likely to stick to its paws. Purchase a plastic or silicone mat from a department or pet store. Place it right outside the litter box so that your cat has to walk over it to enter and exit the box. This will help some of the litter to stick to the mat rather than to your cat’s paws.  Clean the mat regularly by simply discarding any litter granules into the bin. Wipe it down with warm, soapy water whenever you clean out the litter box. Don’t use cardboard as a mat for the litter box. This is because the cardboard could get wet and therefore also stick to your cat’s paws. every week. Remove feces from the box every day and change the litter in the litter box approximately twice per week or whenever you notice an odor. Wipe down the box with warm, soapy water each week. Wet litter is more likely to stick to your cat’s paws than dry litter. Twice per week is an estimation for how often you need to change the litter. The actual frequency depends on how many cats use the litter box, how many litter boxes there are, and the type of litter that you use.

TL;DR in English: Choose a litter box that is at least 1.5 times the length of your cat. Place a mat outside the entrance to the litter box. Clean the litter box

Though distance is different than displacement, resultant displacement problems will specify how many "feet" or how many "meters" an object has traveled.  You will use these units of measurement to calculate displacement, or how far out of position the object is based on its original point.  The resultant displacement formula is written as: S = √x²+y².  "S" stands for displacement.  X is the first direction that the object is traveling and Y is the second direction that the object is traveling.  If your object only travels in one direction, then Y = 0. An object can only travel in two directions maximum, since moving along the north/south or east/west axes will be considered neutral movement. Use a ruler to make straight lines from point to point.  Also remember to connect your starting point to your end point using a straight line.  This is the displacement we will be calculating. For example, if an object travels east 300 feet and north 400 feet, it will form a right triangle.  AB will form the first leg of the triangle and BC will form the second leg.  AC will form the hypotenuse of the triangle, and its value will be the amount of the object's displacement.  In this example, the two directions are "east" and "north." Now that you know the two directions your object is traveling in, input the values into their respective variables. For example, x = 300 and y = 400.  Your formula should look like this:  S = √300² + 400². Square 300 and 400 first, then add them, and then find the square root of that sum. For example: S = √90000 + 160000.  S = √250000.  S = 500.  You now know that displacement is equal to 500 feet.

TL;DR in English: Use the resultant displacement formula when units of distance are used to specify your initial  and final location. Connect the points based on order of movement and label them from A-Z. Input the direction values for x² and y². Compute the formula using the order of operations.

Many controlling spouses isolate their partners by dominating their time or prohibiting them from going out with friends. If this is the case for you, you must stand up for yourself and let your spouse know that you have no intention of letting your other relationships suffer.  You are entitled to time alone as well, so let your spouse know if you need time to pursue your own hobbies or just be by yourself. Encouraging your spouse to take up hobbies may make this easier. You should still spend some time with your spouse if you are working to improve your marriage. Make this time count by doing enjoyable activities together. If your controlling spouse has repeatedly put you down, you may start to feel as though you did something to deserve that criticism. It's important to remind yourself that you deserve the best, and to do your best not to take this criticism personally. Internalizing criticism can cause you to doubt your own abilities. If this has happened to you, remind yourself of the goals you once wanted to achieve and dismiss any negative thoughts that your spouse may have planted in your head about your abilities. Taking small steps to achieve these goals is a great way to begin to free yourself of a controlling spouse. Many controlling spouses use guilt to control their partners. If your partner does this, you must recognize it as just another tactic that is being used to control you, and not let it affect your decisions.   Some controlling spouses may make their partners feel guilty by complaining about how they will not be able to function if the partner leaves, or even threatening to harm themselves. Other controlling spouses may make their partners feel guilty by making them feel as if they owe the controlling spouse something for housing them or loving them. Many controlling spouses dominate their partners by telling them what to think or what values to have. If you have opinions and beliefs that differ from those of your spouse, it is important to stand up for your right to maintain them.  If...
