Lilacs, tulips, forsythia, or small succulents are inexpensive options and will make cute invitations. Use card stock to write the party details (time, location, date), then attach it to the flowers with some twine.  Depending on how often you see your guests, you may need to plan ahead and start handing out invitations a few weeks ahead of time to make sure you have enough time to see everybody. If you can’t hand-deliver the invitations, that is okay! You could always make invitations on floral-themed paper and mail them out to everyone instead. Or, to keep things really simple, just send a text to everyone to let them know the details. It can be as detailed or a simple as you’d like. You can use your own yard if that is accessible to you, or you could plan to have the party at a local park. Have a tablecloth or blanket to put the food on, and ask friends to bring blankets or chairs to sit on. If you have to be indoors, brighten the space with fresh flowers. Clear away all the clutter you can, open the blinds to let in any natural sunlight, and enjoy spending time with your friends. Use your slow cooker to let the buns bake overnight, and then host a morning May Day brunch with the buns, coffee, tea, and fresh fruit. Or, if your gathering is later in the day, they’ll make a nice afternoon treat, too. Of course, if you don’t want to bake your own sticky buns, you could stop at a bakery to pick some up, too. Make snacks that will be easy to carry outside and that travel well, especially if you’re planning on having a picnic. Cut up several different kinds of cheese, like cheddar, brie, and gouda, and pair them with crackers. Cut up fresh vegetables and serve them with homemade dips. Fresh fruit, muffins, bread, olives, and pickles also make great May Day snacks. Use a hand press or an electric juicer to juice 2 to 4 oranges for each cup of juice you’d like to make. Serve the juice in cute glasses with decorative straws for an extra festive touch. For mimosas, fill a glass 1/4 to 1/2 way full of champagne. Top...

There are many types of hair, and therefore, there are various solutions for various hair types. If your hair looks frizzy, matte, or just not that great, take a look at your shampoo and conditioner bottles. Are you using a shampoo that matches your hair type? If not, try to get a shampoo that says it's for your hair type (such as curly, dry, colored, and so forth), and see if that helps.  If you have dry hair, look for products that say "hydrating" or "moisturizing." Try not to wash your hair every day. Instead, wash it every two to three days.  If you have oily hair, look for a clarifying shampoo, or something that says its meant for oily hair. Try leaving the shampoo on your scalp for up to five minutes. When it comes to conditioner, only use it on the ends of your hair.  If you have thin, limp hair, look for a volumizing shampoo. It will make your hair appear thicker and give it extra body. If you dye your hair, get a shampoo that says it's for "colored hair." It will help your dye job last longer. It will also take care of your hair and help keep it soft; most hair dyes are very harsh and drying on hair. How you wash and brush your hair will affect how it looks in the end. Here are some tips on how to get your hair to look its best:  Wash your hair no more than three times a week. The more often you wash it, the more oil it will produce. Use warm or lukewarm water instead of hot water. Hot water will cause your hair to lose moisture and frizz. Consider rinsing your hair with cool water; this will seal the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, and make it shiny.  Make sure you are leaving the conditioner in your hair long enough. Most brands needs to be left for three to five minutes, but you might want to check the label on the back of the bottle. Brush or comb your hair when it is almost dry. Start from the ends first, and work your way up towards the roots. Wet hair is very stretchy, and snaps easily. Curly hair can be beautiful, but it can also get frizzy and unruly. It tangles easily and gets in your face when...

TL;DR in English: Buy the right products for your hair type. Make sure that you are washing and brushing your hair properly. Know how to tame annoying frizz. Know how to take care of split ends. Use curling irons, flat irons, and hairdryers with care. Know what to do on bad hair days. Use the right styling products to get the right look. Experiment with different hairstyles.

The chemicals in the mortar can burn your skin. In addition to continuing to wear eye protection, slip on a pair of waterproof gloves. Long-sleeved clothing is also recommended to ensure dripping mortar can't reach you. The kind of product you want is labeled as mortar mix. Avoid sand or concrete mixes. Add the amount of mortar you need into a mixing container, such as a wheelbarrow or dishpan. Match the type of mortar you get to the type that's in the rest of your wall, if possible.  Mortar mixes come in different grades. M is the strongest and meant for walls bearing heavy loads. S is a little more flexible, N is for most walls exposed to the weather, and O is for interior and non-load-bearing exterior walls. If you don't know what's in your wall, you might need to guess based on the grading scale. the mortar with water until it's thick. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to figure out how much water to add. Stir the water and mortar mix together with a hand trowel. Try to get the mortar into a consistency similar to peanut butter.  You may also purchase latex additive from a home improvement store and add a little bit to make the mixture stronger. Start with small batches. You'll have an hour or less to use the mortar before it dries.

TL;DR in English: Put on safety glasses and gloves. Place dry mortar mix in a bucket. Mix

The Dark Web refers to a sliver of Deep Web data that is impossible to access without special software and links. Unlike most Deep Web data, information found on the Dark Web is usually comprised of broken links, dead websites, and other useless information. Much of the Dark Web's purpose is to provide anonymity to journalists, political dissidents, whistleblowers, and the like. While the Dark Web is mostly harmless if you aren't actively trying to get into trouble, the fact remains that the Dark Web's functional is largely used for criminal activity. On the flip side, the legal parts of the Dark Web are fairly plain.  Essentially, if you aren't attempting to get into illegal sites, you'll see a lot of broken links and slow load times for normal sites. If you are trying to access illegal content, doing so is much more likely to result in you getting caught rather than actually finding the content itself. While most Dark Web horror stories are nothing more than campfire tales, you should refrain from contacting anyone or downloading items from the Dark Web. While more secure than in past renditions, Windows 10 still contains security flaws that make it exceptionally vulnerable to hacking or virus attempts while browsing the Deep Web.   Linux is strongly suggested for people who plan on using the Dark Web, with Ubuntu Linux being a common (and free) option. If you're on a Mac, you should be fine as long as you use a VPN and Tor. There are a couple of basic things that you should do in order to prevent unpleasant encounters on the Dark Web:  Cover your computer's webcam. Password-protect your Internet connection if you haven't yet done so. . Before downloading Tor (if possible) or accessing the Dark Web, you must install and enable a Virtual Private Network (VPN). NordVPN and ExpressVPN are common choices, but you can choose any VPN that has the following features:  A kill switch for when your VPN goes down Quick load times Protection against IP and DNS leaks The ability to connect via another country's server...

Sometimes you can find a great book just by going and looking at the other books on the shelf around books you've liked before. Non-fiction books in particular are typically grouped by topic, so it's a good bet that you'll find books on similar themes next to books you've already read on those themes. Even if you've decided on one, it's good to have a backup or two. You might realize as you're looking at the books more closely at home that one of them is not as good a choice for a book report. You also might find that your teacher has advice on which one would be better. Hopefully, between talking to the librarian, your teacher, and possibly going online and then browsing the library, you have found a few possible candidates for your book review. With the books you've found in front of you, read the plot synopsis, found on the back of the book for paperbacks, and on the inside of the front cover on the dust jacket for hardcovers. Take a little time to read the first chapter or so, too, to see if you like the author's writing style.  Which of the books looks best to you? Which book is the easiest to read? Which book do you think would be best for the report, based on the assignment? Even if you think the book is the perfect choice, talk to your teacher. He or she might have read the book and not think it is the right choice for you. If your teacher doesn't like your first choice, share your other options with him or her. Hopefully one of them will work.

TL;DR in English: Browse. Check out your books. Read about the books you've found. Ask your teacher.

The host is a person in the casino that can make the decision to give you a comped room. If you've been playing for a long time and have been gambling a good amount of money, stop a waitress or go to the front desk and ask to speak with the host. You can say something like “Excuse me, I'd like to speak with the host so they can review my play history. Thanks.” If you've been playing for long enough, the employee you asked will bring over the host. Introduce yourself to the host and shake their hand. Then, ask them if they can take a look at your play history. Give them your player's card and they will evaluate what they can give you for free. Let them know that you're interested in a free room and tell them that you'll continue gambling during your stay there.  You can say something like “Can you take a look at my play history and let me know what comps are available to me? I'm interested in getting a comped room.” Remember to tip the host with at least $50 if they do comp you a room. If you haven't been able to get ahold of a host but have gambled all night, go to the player's desk, give them your player's card, and ask what comps are available to you. The player's desk will take your player's card and evaluate how many points you've gained while gambling. If it's enough points, it may qualify for a free room. Say something like, “Can you take a look at my play history and tell me what comps I can get? I was interested in getting a comped room for the night.” If you haven't gambled enough or are new to the casino, don't make a scene if you can't get a comped room by the end of the night. Staff, pit bosses, and hosts are likely to remember you. If you remain polite throughout the experience and continue visiting the same casino, they will be more likely to comp you a room in the future.

TL;DR in English: Ask to talk to the host. Ask the host to take a look at your play history. Go to the player's desk after you're done gambling. Don't get angry if you can't get a comped room.

This is as much for your own records as it is for making sure the account is closed. Sending a letter will finalize the closure of your account and give you a legal written and dated record of your action should anything go wrong with the closure of your account. If you really want to guarantee full legality, send the letter by certified mail and hold on to the receipt you will receive upon paying the certified postage.  In your letter, request written confirmation that the account is closed. Make sure to also include your information, like your name, phone number, and address. You may also want to include proof of payment from when you paid off your remaining account balance. Do so by including a cancelled copy of the check.  You can also request that your credit report say that your card was closed "at the consumer's request." This will make the situation clear to future lenders. Make a copy of the letter and keep it in a safe place. By doing so you will have complete and reasonable proof that you closed your credit card account. Also be sure to hold onto the certified mail receipt. This will help prove that the credit card company received your letter. Follow up a few weeks later to make sure that your account is indeed closed. Companies may occasionally make mistakes and fail to close your account. The closing process can take up to a month, so don't worry if it isn't closed after a few weeks. If your account has not been closed after a month, though, it's time to take action.  Once closure is confirmed, cut up your credit card to finalize the closure.  You can check whether or not an account has been closed by obtaining a copy of your credit report. Check your credit report a month after you first called to have your card closed. If the card is still active, it is is time to take further action. First, try calling your credit card company again and writing another letter. Wait for a response. If this fails, you can file a dispute through a credit reporting agency (either Experian, TransUnion, or...

You'll need four pieces of insulated wire, with each end stripped. Read this section first to find out how each wire is connected, so you can cut each one to the right length. Typically, each wire should be about 5 inches (13cm) long. Solder one wire onto each of the two motor pins.  Read our guide on soldering electronics first if you don't have much soldering experience. Find the motor pins on the motor driver circuit that are labeled m1 and m2. Solder the other ends of the two wires onto these pins. If your driver does not have these labels, look for a diagram of your motor driver online. Solder the other two wires to the two pins on the second motor. Solder the other ends of these wires onto the driver pins labeled m3 and m4. The battery holder should have two attached wires, one positive (red) and one negative (black). Connect these as follows:  Connect the positive wire to the Vin pin on the Arduino Connect the negative wire to the Gnd (ground) pin on the Arduino

Wait until any threat of frost has passed before planting your cannas. Look for a spot with full sunlight. Look for a spot where the soil drains well. Keep the wind in mind when selecting your spot. Loosen the soil to a depth of approximately 12 to 15 inches (30.48 to 38.1 cm). Dig a 2 to 3 inch (5.08 to 7.62 cm) hole for each bulb. Cover the holes and the tubers with soil. Add a thin layer of mulch over the flowerbed.

If you want your favorite coffee shop office space to not go out of business, you need to help support it by spending money during your time there. If you’ve chosen a spot with lots of good food and drinks at reasonable prices, you should be able to patronize the shop without putting too much of a dent in your wallet.  Buying one drink every two to three hours of work is considered fair.  If you are working through lunchtime, consider buying your lunch from their menu. Tip the baristas well. This will also likely keep you from suffering “the evil eye” after you’ve taken up a table for a few hours. You don’t need to take another seat for your laptop bag, etc. Put them on the floor if you need to. Leave the chairs for other customers. Chose a bag with a long strap to wrap around your ankle if you are concerned about someone possibly taking it. Try your best to make one table work for you by not spreading out too much. One way to conserve space is to have as many of your work materials already in digital form on your laptop or on flash drives. Coffee shops make their money in direct proportion to the number of customers they serve. If they can’t turn over your table because you keep overstaying your welcome, the shop will lose customers and profit.  As long as you keep spending money, most places welcome you to stay until closing, but you should NEVER stay past closing time. If you are freeloading, eight hours is considered pushing it, so take that into consideration.  Consider using a timer on your phone or laptop to signal when you may be coming to the end of a reasonable stay. It may be best to avoid working in the shop during times when they generate their key profits from turning tables. Try having two shops or more to frequent that have different high volume schedules and then working your schedule to accommodate those times. Although shops generally don’t require you to do so, it’s a very good way of showing consideration for the employees. As a regular who cleans up after themselves, you are likely to...

TL;DR in English: Spend money. Use only one chair. Condense your work space. Leave in a reasonable amount of time. Visit during non-peak hours. Cleanup after yourself. Be responsible for your things.

The more clear information you compile about your eBook, the easier a time you'll have in both getting it published and promoting it successfully. On a separate document, write down the title of your book, along with any section and chapter titles, the number of sections or chapters, the word count of the book, and a page number estimate. Once you have all that, come up with a list of descriptive terms or “keywords” that are related to your book, and a general thesis statement if needed. Contrary to what you may have learned in high school, not every piece of writing needs a thesis statement to work. However, most nonfiction writing will have an obvious thesis statement by the time you finish writing it. Try to gauge the types of people who will be interested in your book based on its title and description. Are they young or old? Do they own homes or rent? How much money do they make annually, and do they prefer to save or spend? You don't need to hire an expert; just make your best guesses. This information is only to help you market your eBook later. There are a few different ways to publish your eBook, which vary in terms of piracy protection, royalties paid to you, and audience scope. Consider each one of them and choose the one you think will make you the most money. One of the most commonly used is Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform. KDP allows you to format and publish your eBook to the Kindle Marketplace for free. Anyone who owns the popular Kindle line of e-readers can then purchase your book from the marketplace and read a copy on their Kindle. Under this setup, you keep 70% of the price of every copy you sell of your book, provided you set that price between $2.99 and $9.99. The main downside is that KDP doesn't publish to people without Kindle readers, limiting your audience. Services like Lulu, Booktango, and Smashwords are also available to take your manuscript and publish it for you in eBook format. Generally speaking, the basic service of these sites is free (and you shouldn't...

TL;DR in English: Gather pertinent information. Think about your audience. Choose a publishing platform. Publish to e-Readers with KDP. Consider other eBook publishers. Be aware of hidden costs. Self-publish with special software. Promote your eBook.

Remove all furniture as well as anything else that rests on the carpet. Any drainage issues in the room you're planning to carpet need to be addressed before carpeting. Ignoring the problem now could result in a costly and expensive project down the road, especially if you end up with harmful mold and end up having to tear out the carpet and repeat all your hard work.  Rent or buy a moisture reader to test the humidity yourself. You should do this a week or more prior to carpet installation day to allow plenty of time for the waterproofing to be done. Carpeting is a chemical soup full of solvents. Allowing it some time to air out will cut down on fumes when you install it. You might have to sand down, or use a saw to undercut, the bottom of the doors and trim door jambs to ensure smooth closing after the carpet installation. You may need to remove the baseboards in order to install your carpet. Alternatively, the carpet may fit under the baseboards; in that case you can leave them in place. Before the surface dries, fill in any holes or cracks, making sure the top of the repair is level with the rest of the concrete surface. Small cracks and fractures can be fixed using a cement based, waterproof filler (e.g., Armstrong 501). Be sure to let the product dry, then sand and smooth the surface. Follow the washing with a mold and bacteria killing solution of 1 part household bleach to 15 parts water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. For about 48 hours prior to and after installation, the temperature should stay between 65°F and 95°F (18°C and 35°C) and humidity between 10% and 65%. By observing these conditions, your carpet installation should go smoothly.

TL;DR in English: Completely empty the room. Check the room for moisture problems. Air out the carpet out before installation. Remove any doors for ease of installation. Lift any baseboards. Fill in any cracks or imperfections in the surface. Use a leveling product to flatten any low spots in the slab. Clean the concrete thoroughly, using the appropriate cleaner for the stains you find. Control the temperature in the room.

Cannas are a warm weather plant that don’t do well in cold weather. Wait until spring to plant your cannas--when the soil becomes soft and warm from sunlight, its time to get planting. If you live in a colder area where the warm season is rather short, you could consider starting your cannas in an indoor pot. See Part Three for how to care for indoor cannas. As tropical plants, cannas require a lot of sun. A lot of sunlight will allow your cannas to bloom to their full extent--and that’s something you definitely want. Cannas are known for the bright, beautiful flowers and intricate and colorful leaf patterns. Give your plant the sun it needs and you will be sure to have an exquisite garden. While cannas will survive in almost any soil, it does need to be able to drain. The way to tell if you have found a good spot is to check on the spot after a rain shower (or hose shower). If the soil still has puddles five or six hours after a shower, you will have to find another spot. While cannas do like moist soil, they don’t like soggy roots. If you don’t have another spot to plant you cannas, you can help your spot to dry by adding organic material to the spot. You can raise the level two or three inches using compost, peat moss, or ground bark--all of which you can buy at your local garden or yard supply store. If you are going to plant one of the tall varieties of cannas, you will need to choose a spot where these tall beauties will be relatively protected from strong wind. In a strong wind, cannas stalks can snap or bend in a damaging way. You can do this with a tiller or garden fork. Mix in a layer of compost that is 2 to 4 inches (5.08 to 10.16 cm) deep. The compost will give the soil an extra boost of nutrients that your cannas will appreciate. Place a single tuber (or rhizome) in the hole with the eye (or growing points) facing up. Plant additional tubers approximately 1 foot (.30 m) apart for dwarf to medium varieties and at least 2 feet (.61 m) apart for tall varieties. Press the soil down and water...

You can use a combination of the "regsvr" command and a DLL file's name to register the DLL if the DLL file supports the Register Server export command. This will create a path from the Windows registry to the DLL file, making it easier for Windows processes to find and use the DLL file. You'll most commonly need to use this method to register DLLs which came with third-party programs that are supposed to interface directly with system-level resources (e.g., Command Prompt). If the DLL is already registered, it doesn't support the Register Server export command, or its code doesn't allow it to be connected to the Windows registry, you'll receive an error which says, "The module [DLL name] was loaded but the entry point DllRegisterServer was not found". If you see this error message occur, the DLL cannot be registered. The "entry point" error isn't so much a problem as it is a confirmation, as seeing this error means that your DLL doesn't need to be registered. Go to the folder location of the DLL that you want to register. Once you've found the DLL file that you want to register, you can proceed. If you installed a program for which you want to register a DLL, for example, you would go to the program's installation folder (e.g., "C:\Program Files\[program name]"). Right-click the DLL file, then click Properties in the drop-down menu. A pop-up window will open. In the text box at the top of the Properties window, you'll see the DLL's full name. This is the name you'll need to enter later. Since most DLLs have difficult-to-remember names, consider leaving up the Properties window when you're done here; that way, you'll be able to copy the name later. Click and drag your cursor across the string of text to the right of the "Location" heading, then press Ctrl+C to copy the folder path to the DLL. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Type command prompt into the Start search bar. You should see the Command Prompt icon appear at the top of the window. To do so:  Right-click Command...

TL;DR in English: Understand how this method works. Know what the "entry point" error means. Find the DLL you want to register. Open the DLL's Properties. Note the DLL's name. Copy the DLL's path. Open Start . Search for Command Prompt. Open Command Prompt in administrator mode. Switch to the DLL's directory. Enter the "regsvr" command and the DLL's name. Try unregistering the DLL and then re-registering it.

Make sure the benefits will outweigh the consequences of skipping class. Know the rules at your middle school. Each school has a different absentee policy, but you will want to know what is going to happen if you skip a class before you decide to leave.  Beyond the penalty dealt by your middle school, there are effects on your likelihood of success as a student if you are a habitual skipper.  It’s possible you will get detention and have to spend more time at school. Will you be allowed to take a test later if you skip a class to miss a test? What are the consequences of turning homework in late? What will happen if your parents find out? Will this just lead to longer stints of boredom and less opportunity to hang out with friends because you’re grounded? Students who skip more than 10 days of school in a year are 20% less likely to get a high school diploma and 25% less likely to go to college. Those who do skip often feel like they are behind in their learning. Understand the truancy laws. Public schools require attendance. If you are absent and do not have a reason which falls under excused absences, you will be marked as truant. This applies even if you get a note from your parents excusing you if the excuse does not qualify to avoid truancy.  Excused absences are usually related to illnesses, a death in the family, or religious observances. Some excuses that could work are telling them you got a migraine headache and needed some quiet, you suddenly feel nauseated, you needed to call your parents. Extended absences for health reasons will often require a doctor's note. Rather than just wandering in the halls and getting caught, think of different ways you can get out of class without getting into trouble. Make sure you know what you want to do and how you want to do it before the class period you want to skip. Come up with a list of options which may work, then choose the one you think is best.  Consider going to class and asking to be released by the teacher to see the counselor, go to the bathroom,...

TL;DR in English: Weigh the consequences. Have a good excuse. Plan in advance.

Even if the mentorship exists largely over email or online, don't start bombarding your mentor with questions for advice at the last minute if it doesn't fit into the pre-outlined relationship you'd established. If the relationship reaches a natural conclusion, it's ok to end it. If you feel confident that you've improved enough in whatever skill you were hoping to learn from your mentor that you feel confident to go forth without weekly coffee meetings, say so. Think about what you might be able to offer your mentor in return. If you're getting loads of free advice about your short stories from a professor, ask if there's any research or tech help they might be able to use around the office. Setting up the new wireless router would be a great way to earn favor. As you improve in your career, remember who and what got you there. As opportunities arise, don't forget about your mentors that helped you along the way. Write to your mentor to keep them updated on your progress and remember to thank them for their specific contributions. This will give the mentor a feeling of being useful, needed, and also skillful at their craft.  Be specific. Just saying, "Thanks, you're being so helpful!" isn't as reassuring as, "I nailed that last sale thanks to your opening line tips. Thanks!" Gratitude could include a small gift as a "thank you" token. Small things like a book, a bottle of wine, or the occasional meal may be appropriate. Emotional involvement with your mentor will usually not be in the best interest of the mentoring process, especially if it's someone you work with. Casual interaction is acceptable and might even benefit your professional relationship, but your mentor is not meant to be your new best friend, so avoid digging into personal topics that are notably deep or vulnerable. For example, in addition to learning about their professional background, you might take time to ask them about their interests at the end of your meeting. Connecting on a common interest may even be one way to establish a greater...

TL;DR in English: Keep a schedule and stick to it. Make the relationship mutually beneficial. Show your appreciation. Focus on building a professional relationship.

When your mind is buzzing with all the different things you need to do in a day, it's harder to get things done. To help you focus, take the time to write or type out a physical list for the day. That way, you're not trying to keep them all in your head at once. Plus a list can help you see just how much you've done in a day, which can motivate you. When you're depressed, even small tasks can seem monumental; therefore, it's best to try to view tasks in smaller chunks, so that you can accomplish things piece by piece. Instead of thinking, "I need to send 500 emails today," think "I have one email to send in the next five minutes. I can do that."  Making tasks smaller makes it seem easier to do them. If it doesn't seem to be working, try even smaller chunks. You could say, "I just need to get through this one sentence. That's it." Sometimes, trying to figure out how to begin a task is the hardest part. Maybe you can't find the words you need to start a report, for instance. The key is to just start somewhere. You don't have to start at the "beginning." You just need to get started.  Once you have some work done, you'll find it easier to go back and work through the beginning. Also, you won't be paralyzed with indecision about how to "start." It can be tempting to give in to procrastination when you're feeling depressed. You have a tendency to get distracted, for instance, or you have a desire to get up and do something else; however, just promising yourself you'll work for a set amount of time can help get you started.  Cut out distractions. Don't go anywhere else on the internet than what you need for work. Don't go talk to a friend. Just sit down and pay attention only to your work. Remind yourself you can't do anything else. Even if you don't work, don't allow  yourself to do something more interesting. If you're in a more active job, try to cut distractions like talking to co-workers and just focus on the task at hand. Set a timer if you need to. Set it for five minutes, then give yourself a short break...

If the scratch is thick enough to “catch” your fingernail, you can try sanding it out. To do this properly, though, you’ll need to have several grades of sandpaper, from 800 grit to 1500 or even 2000.  Higher numbers indicate finer sandpaper. You can find sandpaper at any store that sells hardware supplies. You can often find it in assorted packs so you don’t have to buy a separate pack for each grade. Take a piece, and fold it in thirds. This will give you a smaller surface to work with, and make it easier to hold the paper. Run some water over the sandpaper. It’s very important to wet the sandpaper--this helps it from becoming too abrasive, and also helps clear away grit and dust as you work. The buffing motion combined with the abrasiveness of the sandpaper can help remove many scratches. Work gently, however. Being too forceful can cause new scratches. Keep buffing until the scratch disappears. Use a fresh, damp cloth and wipe down the area you’ve been working on. Take a new, clean cloth and run it over everything until it's all dry. Examine the scratch area. It should look different, and the scratch may have been removed. If it’s still visible, however, you can try rubbing it again with a finer grade of sandpaper. Try 1200 grit, for instance, and follow the same procedure as before.  Make sure to wet the sandpaper each time, and to work gently.  If 1200 grit doesn’t work, move up to an even finer grade (like 1500), and so on. Once the scratch is fully removed, polishing the area will make everything look like new. Get some commercial plastic or acrylic polishing compound and place some on a clean cloth. Wipe the whole plastic area to blend everything in. Then take a clean cloth and wipe off the excess. You can find plastic polishing compound at most big-box stores, either in the auto supply or home cleaning sections.

TL;DR in English: Get several grades of sandpaper. Start by wetting some 800 grit paper. Rub the sandpaper over the scratch in a circular motion. Clean the area. Use finer grit sandpaper if necessary. Polish the area.

There are many reasons why you may wish to contact your attorney.  Understanding that reason is key to determining whether a letter is the appropriate course of action and, if so, to writing a letter that clearly communicates your message.  If you merely wish to inquire about the status of your case, a formal letter is not necessary.  Your lawyer is obligated to keep you reasonably informed about the status of your case and will likely contact you whenever there is news to report.  If you have not heard from your lawyer in a while, send him a quick email or leave him a voice mail message asking for an update. If your lawyer has requested that you write him a letter, follow his instructions his exactly.  For example, if he sends you a list of questions to answer, simply answer his questions one by one as clearly as possible.  Do not worry about formatting the letter in any special way or typing it unless your attorney requests that you do so. If your lawyer has asked that you write him a letter giving your consent to his requesting documents on your behalf, you should ask your lawyer to write the letter for you.  This kind of letter may need to meet certain criteria to be effective and your lawyer is the one who will know what the letter needs to include.  Your only role should be to revise and sign the letter once you have received a draft. If you are concerned your lawyer is not working on your case, write him a polite but firm letter explaining your concerns.  If you feel more comfortable emailing or calling him, that would be fine as well.  You are under no obligation to express your concerns in a formal letter.  If you want to fire your lawyer, send him a letter that clearly states you are terminating the relationship and that the lawyer is to cease working on any pending matters.  You should also ask that he return all of the documents regarding your case and pay you refund for any unfinished work. Once you have confirmed that writing a letter will serve your purpose, write an opening paragraph that...

TL;DR in English: Understand your purpose. Lead with the most important point. Fill in the middle with your reasons. Close with a paragraph that summarizes your main point. Use simple language. Keep it short.

Plexus Boost claims to work in part by suppressing your appetite. Ingredients including Caralluma Fimbriata, green tea, and yerba mate have all shown some results in helping slightly with weight management. However, Plexus Boost also contains high levels of chromium, which can have unpleasant side effects such as vertigo and headaches in such dosages. Look over the list of ingredients and research them on your own. Be especially wary of any ingredients to which you may be allergic. Plexus Worldwide recommends taking 1-2 capsules of Plexus Boost every day, ideally in the morning. They do not offer guidelines regarding how to determine if you should take 1 or 2 capsules.  Plexus Boost capsules are like most regular capsules and should be swallowed whole, using water to help. One bottle of Plexus Boost contains 60 capsules. This equals a 60 day supply if you take 1 capsule a day, or a 30 day supply if you take 2 capsules a day. Like most weight loss supplements, Plexus Boost works best when coupled with a healthy diet and exercise plan. Talk to your doctor or a certified dietitian about the nutritional plan that is right for you.  In general, you should aim for a diet that balances fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Aim to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, unprocessed foods, and healthy, unsaturated fats.  You should also try to get at least 30 minutes of moderately vigorous cardiovascular exercise at least 5 days a week.

Rotate your body so you tan evenly. Tan for 5-10 minutes on each side so you tan evenly. Build up your color by tanning every day for short periods of time.

In order to be hygienic at the pool, you first need to make sure the pool is hygienic. Visit your public pool to check the pool inspection results and check the pool's clarity. You can also check the chlorine levels in the pool by bringing your own test kit. You can also check all other safety measures while you are at the pool. If you go swimming when you're thirsty, you might be inclined to (even subconsciously) take a few gulps of pool water, which could contain bacteria and make you ill. There are some situations when you should stay out of the pool. If you or anyone in your family has diarrhea, stay out of the pool. This can spread diseases through germs or through fecal matter residue that may be left on the body. There is also a chance of an accident in the pool if you are suffering from diarrhea. You can also spread germs in the pool if you have an open wound. The residue from the open wound, either pus or blood, may leak into the pool from your wound. Make sure you check the members of your family for open wounds and keep them out of the pool if they have one. Wrapping the wound up will not prevent this from happening. The bandage will get wet and get into the pool, so keep your family out if they have any wound.

TL;DR in English: Check pool hygiene. Stay hydrated before you enter the pool. Stay out of the pool if you have diarrhea. Avoid the pool with an open wound.

Both Chinese and Japanese people tend to bow when greeting people for the first time. However, the Japanese are far more strict about bowing, with entire protocols based on the level of seniority and age of the person you're greeting. In China, the bow is more typically replaced with a Western-style handshake unless you're greeting an elder. Chinese people may nod their head to show respect while shaking hands. In contrast, a short nod of the head in Japan would be considered rude unless you were greeting a close friend who was the same age as you or younger. The Japanese customarily are quiet in public. On public transportation, Japanese people will frequently turn the ringers off on their phones and tend not to carry on conversations. When people do speak in public, it is in hushed tones. The Chinese, in contrast, don't have any cultural prohibition against speaking loudly or talking on the phone in public places. So if you see a group of Asian people laughing and talking loudly, they're more likely to be Chinese than Japanese. Both Chinese and Japanese culture rely extensively on nonverbal communication. Japan, in particular, places greater emphasis on strict social hierarchies. You can distinguish between Japanese and Chinese cultures by looking at how close people stand when they talk to one another and how respectful and submissive their body language is.  For example, in China, silence is often seen as agreement to do something. If the person disagrees, they will more likely talk around the negative and stress the commonalities before telling you what they'd rather do. Because the Chinese language is tonal, Chinese people cannot rely on their tone of voice to communicate their meaning. This makes gestures and body language far more important than they would be otherwise. For the Japanese, nonverbal communication is more a sign of respect and politeness. The deepness of your bow and the distance you stand from someone when talking all indicate their standing in relation to you.

TL;DR in English: Watch for a bow to accompany greetings. Listen to the volume of people's voices when they're speaking. Pay attention to gestures and nonverbal communication.

Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine, but brand names vary) is an antihistamine drug that can be purchased at most grocery stores and pharmacies. These drugs block receptors in the brain associated with nausea and vomiting. You can purchase dramamine in two tablet forms — drowsy and non-drowsy. Non-drowsy is best for amusement parks. If you are taking a train or a plane long distance and can sleep, the drowsy kind will work well.  To prevent motion sickness, the first dose should be taken 30 minutes to one hour before you go to the amusement park. Adults and children older than age 12 can usually take dimenhydrinate every four to six hours as needed to prevent or treat motion sickness. Children under 12 can usually be given dimenhydrinate every six to eight hours or as needed to prevent or treat motion sickness, but talk to your child's doctor before using medications on young children. There are a few other similar medications used for motion sickness. check with your doctor or pharmacist on which medication may be best for you. You'll need to see a doctor to get a prescription for this medication. Generally, this medication is saved for those who aren't helped by dramamine. Most of the time, scopolamine is administered in a patch form.  Talk to your doctor about potential side effects of this medication, which can include drowsiness, disorientation, dry mouth, or hallucinations.  People with glaucoma or certain other medical problems may not be able to use scopolamine, so make sure to tell your doctor about any medical problems you have. The patch should be applied as directed on the package. Normally, it should be placed on the back of the ear, at least four hours prior to when it is actually needed. Wash behind your ear before applying. Remove the patch from the protective packaging. Place on the skin. Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Leave on for as long as you need it or as long as the package prescribes. Ginger (zingiber officinale) is cheap and effective. You can consume ginger raw or in lozenge/pill form....

or after 4:00 p.m. to avoid a sunburn. The sun is the most powerful from mid-morning to late afternoon. While this might sound like the perfect time to tan, it’s too risky because your skin may burn. Instead, sun yourself in the early morning or late afternoon for the perfect tan. For instance, plan to go out at 9:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. About 90% of the sun’s rays penetrate the clouds, so you should have no problem tanning. However, you’ll get more rays if you pick a spot with minimal cloud coverage. Look for the brightest area you can find. Additionally, stay away from shadows cast by trees, buildings, and fences. Check the sky to see if any sunlight is penetrating the clouds. Additionally, look for shadows on the ground. If you see a shadow, move to another spot. Tanning lotions help promote a bronzed look and may help you tan faster. It’ll also keep your skin moisturized. Look for a lotion that’s labeled for use on your skin tone. Then, massage the tanning lotion into your skin before you tan.  Lotion and oil work the same. However, you might prefer an oil if your skin tends to be dry because it's more moisturizing. Read and follow the directions on the label so you know you’re using your product correctly. Some tanning lotions have a low SPF, such as an SPF 8, that can help protect your skin as it tans. These are a great option because they’ll help you get the darker look you want with less skin damage. Using an indoor tanning lotion outdoors may increase your risk of skin cancer because these lotions are designed to enhance UV rays. Keep in mind that there are more UV rays outdoors than in a tanning bed even on a cloudy day. Additionally, don't use baby oil because it can tan your skin too quickly and cause damage. You can start on your stomach or your back, depending on your preference. Elongate your body so that you’re less likely to have uneven patches. Additionally, spread out your arms and legs so they get maximum sun exposure. If you’re bent at an angle or your arms are flat against your body, you’ll...

During a water birth, a baby is delivered in a birthing pool filled with lukewarm water. Deciding on a birth plan is a highly personal choice. There are a variety of reasons women choose water births over conventional methods. Know the rationale behind water births before deciding to undergo the procedure yourself.  A baby spends nine months floating in an amniotic sac filled with fluids. Many women and doctors believe the transition from womb to world is easier on a child if they're submerged in water before being exposed to the open air. However, there is no research to support this and this is only opinion. For many women, water births can be less painful. Women who spend time in water during labor request pain-relieving drugs roughly half as much as women who use conventional methods.  Tearing of the perineum, the area between the vagina and anus, is common during birth. Warm water can soften these tissues, making them more malleable as the baby passes through. Tearing and damage may be less likely during water births.  For many women, warm water can feel soothing and reduce stress during labor. Warm water has also been known to stimulate the body's release of endorphins, a feel-good hormone.  Your weight is supported by water, making it easier to sit upright during delivery. This allows your pelvis to open to pass the baby during birth. A water birth can be performed in a hospital setting or at home. Depending on your preference, there are special considerations for each method.  If you decide to give birth in a hospital, you need to make sure the hospital is able and willing to accommodate a water birth. Many hospitals either have policies prohibiting water births or do not have the proper resources for water births. If you want to go the hospital route, you should make sure a water birth is allowed in your chosen hospital and with your OB/GYN or midwife. You may have to switch hospitals or doctors if you're set on a water birth and your doctor cannot provide one. The majority of water births are done...

Your relationship with your mom may not feel very nurturing, so it's important to get social support from others. This may come from your dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, or other mentors in your community. If you need to talk, reach out to these people to vent about your mom or get practical advice for dealing with her passive-aggressive behavior. Become more aware of your own anger that stems from your mother's behavior. Start a daily journal practice of writing down what you're feeling. Periodically re-read your entries to look for recurring patterns and brainstorm solutions.  For instance, brainstorming solutions might include noticing that you and your mom usually bump heads whenever you're feeling tired. To fix the problem, keep those interactions short and sweet. Excuse yourself and go to your room rather than trying to reason with her when you're already exhausted. Put your journal in a safe place where your mother can't find it and read it. Some good places might be under your mattress, behind other books in a bookcase, or in your closet. Take good care of yourself by doing activities that promote wellness, like eating well and exercising.  Also, try  mindfulness meditation to learn how to sit with your anger or frustration and keep stress at bay with yoga or  deep breathing. You might also do special activities just for you, such as coloring, listening to your favorite music, or cuddling with a special someone. Work through your thoughts and feelings with a professional. A counselor can help you heal from emotional neglect and even teach useful skills like assertiveness training, so you can better interact with your mother. If you think she's up for it, you might invite your mom to a counseling session at some point, too.

TL;DR in English: Get support from your social circle. Develop a journaling habit to release your frustration. Perform  self-care regularly. See a  counselor.

Euphemisms are relatively harmless words or phrases that are used in place of more offensive ones. Using a euphemism instead of a swear word is a quick an easy way to clean up your vocabulary. Many existing swear words also have common euphemisms. For instance, try saying:  “Funk!” instead of “f***!” “Darn!” instead of “damn!” “What the eff?”, "What the heck?", or "What the barnacles?" instead of “What the f***?”. Also "What the hell?" (acceptable with limitations). “SOB” instead of “Son of a b****” “BS” instead of “bull s***!” “Screwed up," "stinks," or "sucks" instead of “f***ed up” “Goofball” instead of “dumba**” "Rats!" instead of "crap!" or "s***!" Since these words are newly invented, they won’t offend some people like swear words will. Use your imagination to invent replacement words and phrases like:  "Boccalocca" "Egumwalasha!" “Dinglebuff” “I literally buhdangled my pants” “He was so glogged up” “I got my weewuu beat at bowling last night” “I can’t find my nogwrangling keys!” Some words that were once used as offensive swear words have either become more acceptable, or have generally been forgotten. You can have fun researching some of these words and phrases, and practice using them to replace contemporary swear words. Some examples include:  “Consarn it!” instead of “damn it!” “Zooterkins” (a seventeenth-century term for “God’s wounds!” or “Zounds”!) “Sard” (an Old English term for f***) “Waesucks” (means “woe’s sakes,” but can be used in place of "s***!") “Gadzbudlikins!” (unknown derivation) “Fopdoodle” for “dumba**” Science fiction books, films, and television shows often invent alternative languages, including swear words. You can use some of these as less offensive replacements for swear words. For instance:  “Ying-takh!” or “puh-takh,” from Klingon, to replace the “S” or “F” words. “Frack” or “frak” from Battlestar Galactica, to replace the “F” word “Goram,” from the Firefly series, to replace “G** d***!” You can use swear words from foreign languages as replacements. Since others around you...

Turn it so that it is horizontal in front of you. Use a ruler if you like neat, precise lines. Make each square large enough to record your assignments. If you are using a smaller notebook, you may only be able to comfortably fit one row. That’s perfectly fine. It’s better to have only one week on the page than to make the boxes so small that you can’t fit all the information you need. Start with “Monday” above the first column, “Tuesday” above the second, and so on through Friday. The sixth and final column is for the weekend, so you can write either “Weekend” or “Saturday/Sunday.” For example, Monday, February 3rd to Sunday, February 16th. Rotate it so that it is vertical again. ” If you have enough space on your calendar, you could also just write your extracurricular activities there. However, you may find that your assignments fill the available space.

Cut off the peeling faux leather with a razor blade. Apply leather soft filler to the peeled area with a putty knife. Push the soft filler off of the furniture seams and smooth the surface. Let the soft filler cure for 20 minutes. Apply a second layer of soft filler to the patch you’re repairing. Add texture to the repair job by pressing plastic wrap against it. Apply leather paint to the repaired patch with a damp sponge.

Grab a notebook and a pen that you will carry with you for a few days. Write down any activities you engage in, including work, errands, taking care of yourself, and having fun. Include how often you usually do these actions (daily, weekly, monthly).  This may include things like:  Commuting. Working. Sleeping. Cleaning your house. Grooming. Shopping for groceries. If there are other things that you’d like to do, but never seem to get around to, include these on your list. As you organize your day, you will figure out how to include these new activities into your routine. These might be things like:  Working out. Prepping healthy meals. Playing guitar. Hanging out with friends. Once you have a list of your activities (including aspirational ones), and how often you complete each task, you must reflect on how long each activity takes. Try your best to be realistic.  Include the time it takes to get to where you need to be. Include the time it takes for you to get ready for each activity. Include the time it takes for you to wrap up. If you’ll be working out, for instance, you may need to shower and change when you’re done. There is only so much time in every day. This means you must pick and choose which activities are most useful to you. This life change is two-fold: it will involve breaking some time-wasting habits, and learning to say "no."  Common time-wasting habits include social media, checking email too often, watching television, and gossiping. When you engage in these types of activities, consider setting a timer for yourself. When the time is up, you must get back to work. If your boss, friends, spouse, and family are all asking things of you, it can be hard to keep up! Whenever you are asked to complete a project or do a favor, stop to consider whether or not you truly have the time to do the task well. Sometimes, you will need to say, "I just don't have time for that today."

TL;DR in English: Write down what you do. Include any aspirations. Determine how long each activity takes. Cut unnecessary activities.

You will need to use 2 oz (60 ml) of Seafoam for every 1 gallon (4 L) of petroleum oil.  You'll be adding the Seafoam directly to the oil in your vehicle. Since Seafoam is made of petroleum, it is safe to mix into the oil and should not cause any damage to the vehicle. When used in this manner, Seafoam will re-liquify old fuel and deposits, clearing out the carburetor bowl and jets in the process. Switch off the engine, if it is presently running, and allow the engine to completely cool down before continuing. Adding room temperature Seafoam to burning hot oil can shock the carburetor valve springs and damage your vehicle. Remove the cap from the engine oil spout and pour the calculated amount of Seafoam directly into the carburetor throat. Consider using a funnel to pour in the Seafoam. Doing so is not strictly necessary, but funnels can help reduce the threat of accidental spills. Cap the carburetor throat, close the hood of the car, and drive the vehicle as usual for as many as 250 miles (402 km).  You should get the oil changed once you have driven a distance between 100 and 250 miles (160 and 402 km). Seafoam is a potent additive, so the oil filter can struggle and the quality of the oil can degrade after this distance. After driving the car and changing the oil, the process is complete.

TL;DR in English: Calculate the correct amount of Seafoam. Keep the engine cold. Pour Seafoam into the carburetor throat. Drive the vehicle as many as 250 miles (402 km).

Blue undertones fall under a cool color palette, while yellow tooth stains classify as warm colors. By placing blue undertones around your face, on on your lips in particular, you can offset any stains on your teeth and instantaneously make your teeth look whiter.  When choosing lipstick, go for a red lipstick with blue undertones. Think cherry red, wine, and berry shades. Avoid matte lipsticks and go for glossy products. Matte lipsticks can actually make your teeth look dingy by making your mouth look dry, but glosses and glossy lipsticks make your lips look moist, which also promotes the illusion of shiny teeth. Be aware that the accessories you wear by your face can also make a difference. Opt for silver-toned jewelry over gold, and look for cool-toned gems and beads instead of warm-toned ones. . Bronzer makes your face look darker, thereby accentuating the contrast between your skin tone and your teeth. As a result, your teeth will appear whiter than they might when your face is bare or dusted in blush.  For bronzer, a matte finish is the way to go. Matte bronzer makes your skin appear healthy and firm without giving it an oily look. Moreover, matte bronzer creates a contrast with glossy lips, accentuating your sparkling teeth. Apply the bronzer in the shape of the number "3." Brush it over your temples, the hollow of your cheeks, and over your chin. Shiny jewelry, especially silver-colored, accentuates the white shades in your teeth while covering up the yellow ones. This can mask any stains or imperfections in your teeth.  Focus on placing these accessories around your face, like with earrings and necklaces. Avoid gold-colored jewelry, however — this will accentuate yellow sections of your teeth. Wearing white will accentuate the darker sections of your teeth. Instead, wear a darker or cream-colored shirt. This will accentuate the white sections of your teeth and help cover up any imperfections.

Before repairing the faux leather, you’ll first need to remove all of the flaking pieces. Use your fingers and a razor blade to peel, scrape, and cut away the peeling sections of faux leather from your chair or sofa. Don’t slice off more faux leather than necessary, though. Only remove what’s already loose and flaking.  You can purchase 5-packs of razor blades at most hardware stores. Exercise caution when using a razor blade and never cut towards yourself. Scoop out a 1 inch (2.5 cm) dollop of soft filler with a putty knife. Still using the knife, smear the filler across the peeled section of the leather furniture. Smooth out the filler so that it’s a uniform thickness across the peeled section. Try not to get filler on the unpeeled sections of the faux leather. Soft filler will bond with the base fabric of the faux leather and create a new vinyl-like surface. You can purchase it at any leather store and at many craft supply stores. If you happened to apply any filler to the furniture’s seams, you can use a stiff piece of paper to rub if off. Use the edge of an index or business card to push filler out of the seam. Then, run the long edge of the card over the top of the fabric you’re repairing to smooth out the layer of filler. Clearing the seams and feathering the edges of the soft filler will give the repair job a more professional look. The filler will cure relatively quickly. It’s important that you don’t touch the filler while it’s curing. If you have small children or pets in your home, keep them out of the room with the curing filler. If you’re repairing a small chair, you could move the chair outdoors and let it sit in the sun if the weather is pleasant. This will speed up the curing process. Once the first layer has dried, use your putty knife to apply a second thick layer of filler to the leather. As before, avoid spreading the filler onto undamaged parts of the faux leather. Tear off a 12 in (30 cm) piece of plastic wrap and warp it around your hand. Press your plastic-covered palm against the...

Part of what makes Taboo enjoyable is the manic quality of clue giving, so don't be afraid to say as much information as quickly as you can. The one point of being careful is to still avoid saying any of the taboo words.  Read the guess-word and all of the taboo words before you begin to give any clues. You want to remember what words you can't say. If you realize partway into giving your clues that you said something early on that was a bad clue and that actually confused your teammates, you can tell them to disregard that clue. If you can get people thinking about words that are similar to the word you're describing, you can get them on the right track. Remember, you can't say “sounds like” or “rhymes with,” so don't try to use these in your clues.  For example, if the guess-word is poster, you might be able to described it as a wall hanging, or a picture. If the guess-word was angry, you could say, “It is not happy or pleased.” Many words that you'll get could have more than one meaning, and it doesn't matter which meaning you describe. So using the various meanings of words will help people make the connection about what those meanings have in common.  If you have a word like bank, you can get people there by describing the place you deposit money or the edge of a river. If the word is chicken, you could describe it as a farm animal and also what you call someone who is acting afraid. You could describe when two cars are racing toward each other until one of them veers out of the way. Sometimes you'll get a word that your team gets stumped on. Even though you lose a point for passing, if you move on to other words that are easier, then you can get more points for your team. Losing one point is worth gaining three if you can.  It's quite common for someone to win 6 points in a 1-minute round, so don't spend more than about 15 seconds on a given word. It's likely that the point you'll earn won't be worth it You still want to do this with discretion because if you pass on too many, then you'll just end up...

TL;DR in English: Give clues quickly but carefully. Use synonyms and antonyms. Describe multiple meanings that a word could have. Pass on words that take too long.

Retrofitting an existing room in your home or business is the cheapest and simplest way to protect your loved ones from storms or intruders. While building or installing a prefabricated safe room can cost between $2500-$6000, you can retrofit an existing room for a thousand or less. Choose a room that is in the interior of the house with no windows or skylight, and no walls shared with the outdoors A large walk-in closet works well. A safe room needs a door that can withstand high winds or being kicked in by an intruder, and should ideally open inwards rather than outwards in case debris is stacked outside the room during a storm.  Remove the existing door and doorjamb. Replace the doorjamb with a steel one, and reinforce the surrounding wood with steel angle iron (which will prevent the door from being kicked or blown in).  Replace the door with a heavy, solid wood door (such as one sold as an exterior front door for a home) or with a heavy steel door.  Mount it so that it opens inwards rather than out. You can choose if you want to use a traditional deadbolt or a keyless deadbolt. The keyless deadbolt has the advantage that you don't have to find the key in case of an emergency, but can be dangerous if you have small children in your household who may lock themselves inside.  Before installing the new locks and doorknob, reinforce the wood around them by installing steel or brass strike plates, which you can purchase at most hardware stores.  Install the locks so that the door locks from the inside. If it's a traditional deadbolt, be sure to make a copy of the key and keep the keys in two separate but easily accessible locations, where you can find them immediately in case of emergency. If you are adding the safe room to new construction, you can reinforce the walls and ceiling with concrete, chicken wire, or steel sheeting before adding dry wall and paint to the walls. If not, you will need to tear out the existing drywall to reinforce the walls.  The most cost-effective way to reinforce the walls is by...

TL;DR in English: Select your room to retrofit. Replace the door. Install locks. Reinforce the walls and ceiling. Contact a contractor for help.

Watching golf is a great way to get better. As you are watching, evaluate what the professional golfers are doing and take notes. Watch how professional players assess each shot before they take it and note the decisions that were made. Look at how each player swings the driver, the wedges, and the putter.  Imagine yourself taking the same shot the players on television are taking. Where would you aim for the shot? Compare the choice you made to what the professional player has done. Try to imitate some of the shots you see at your next practice session. Good golf players typically have a pre-shot routine (i.e. what they do before they take every single shot). Use the examples of pre-shot routines to help you develop your own routine. Begin to incorporate your routine into your practice sessions. A pre-shot routine may consist of checking the lie of the ball, checking the distance to your target, checking the direction of the wind, selecting a shot, choosing a club, visualizing the shot, and taking a few practice swings. Visualizing your shots allows you to practice golf from any location.  Devote five minutes a day to visualization practice.  Focus on the things that you have done well on the golf course.  Did you sink a putt? Did you hit a nice long drive?  It is important that you make visualization a regular activity. The more consistently you do it, the more beneficial it will be. Avoid replaying your mistakes when you visualize. Increasing the strength of your muscles and bones without bulking up too much will help your golf game. Your strength training program should be focused on lifting heavier weights with fewer repetitions.  Choose a weight that you can lift about six or seven times before your body becomes really tired.  Try exercises that mimic natural movements and engage multiple muscle groups such as squats and dead lifts. Aim for four sets, of one to six repetitions.  Rest three minutes between each set.

TL;DR in English: Watch golf on television. Practice visualization. Do full body strength training.

Dish soap with grease-cutting properties can be used, but skip dish soap with harsh anti-bacterial properties as this can strip the finish off jewelry surfaces. Dish soap is a good idea for semi-precious stones with softer surfaces or those that have been chemically treated by the jewelry designer, such as amber and turquoise. Do not use boiling water as this may be risky for some stones and jewelry surfaces. of dish soap with the warm water to clean jewelry. Swish with your hand to create bubbles. This water will be used for rinsing your jewelry after cleaning it with the dish soap and water solution.

Maybe you feel uncomfortable talking out loud to God, find it difficult to concentrate when talking to God in your mind, or maybe neither of the two work for you at all. If that’s the case, try writing to God. This form of communicating will still enable you to express your thoughts for a connection and create your side of a conversation with God. Choose something that will feel comfortable to write in every day.  A spiral notebook or journal would be an ideal choice since it will easily lay flat on a desk.  Select your preferred writing tool. You’ll want to write to God by hand instead of typing on a computer.  Computers have endless distractions, and for some the act of typing requires more conscious effort than scribbling in a notebook. Even though you won’t be speaking aloud, it’s still best to find a quiet spot for maximum concentration. Before you get started set a timer for a length of time that feels comfortable to write for.  You may set it for five, ten or twenty minutes.  Keep your pen or pencil moving until the timer goes off. Try not to be self-conscious about what you write.  Don’t worry about grammar and punctuation, or about what you’re actually writing.  In writing to God, you want your words to come from the heart.  In order to do that you’ll need to relax enough that you can write freely about whatever comes to mind. If you’re not sure what to write about, consider writing about a current concern that you can’t stop thinking about.  Write about what’s happening in your day to day life.  Write down any questions you want God to answer for you.  Or write about your goals or what you’re thankful for.  Use the examples below for inspiration.  “Dear God, I have no idea what I’m doing in my life right now.  I can’t seem to make good choices or meet the right people.  I feel like I’m drowning in drama.  When will this end?  When will things change for me?” “I can’t even contain my excitement right now, God.  Today I met a woman who works at my dream job.  Our meeting was completely serendipitous. ...

TL;DR in English: Write to God as a form of communication. Purchase or find a blank writing notebook and pen. Find a quiet and private space to write. Write for a specific amount of time. Write fast and freely. Write to God as if you’re writing a letter to a friend, or as if you’re writing in a private journal.

When you’ve found a pawn shop with the right terms for your needs, don’t be afraid to negotiate for the best deal. The pawn shop staff can always decline your offer or offer a counter, so you have nothing to lose by trying.  When you negotiate, allow the shop to make the first offer. You can negotiate the value of the jewelry, the interest rate of the loan, and the time it will take you to pay it back.  Be prepared to walk away if the shop staff isn't willing to give you the terms that you want. Don’t trust a pawn shop that doesn’t offer some sort of contract or agreement that documents the loan. Make sure the terms of the loan, the interest rate, and the timing of loan payback are clearly outlined. Be sure there is also a description of the jewelry included. Take photos of your jewelry laying next to the contract at the pawn shop in case there are any future disputes about the terms or the jewelry pawned. It’s really important to pay back the loan on time so that you can recover your jewelry safely. Pawn shops can’t resell everything that gets pawned so they will often melt down jewelry into pure metals and sell it at a market price. They can do this as soon as the jewelry is officially theirs. Therefore, your best chance of recovering your jewelry is by repaying the loan by the date and time listed on the contract.

TL;DR in English: Negotiate at the pawn shop. Sign a contract. Pay back the loan on time.

A bucket list has become a popular way to put on paper all the exciting, challenging, or fun things that you hope to do before you die (or "kick the bucket," hence the name). Creating such a list, and then actually doing the things on your list, can add variety to your life.  Your list should contain at least a hundred things, so get to writing! Also don't be afraid to add new things to the bottom of the list as you think of them over the next few weeks, months, and years. Be sure to list both big and small things-- not just expensive or dangerous things like visiting Russia or skydiving, but also those littler things you always wanted to try but just haven't yet-- like trying that little restaurant downtown, singing in the rain, or getting a facial or pedicure. Remember to set some goals that will be hard, and others that are easily attainable; otherwise you might get discouraged. Be sure your list includes things that are free or cheap as well as things that cost money. If you're at a loss, search the internet for ideas-- there are thousands of things you could include! Include places to visit, things to see, experiences to have, achievements you like to make, people you'd like to meet, things you'd like to experience with a friend or loved one, skills you'd like to learn, goals you'd like to meet (such as health, financial, or personal), things you'd like to say (perhaps to specific people) and people you'd like to thank. First create categories that make sense for the things on your list, then put everything on the list into a group.  Make categories for expensive things, relatively affordable things, affordable things, and cheap or free things (depending on your budget, these will vary; but one idea is a column for things that are $1000 or more, things that are $500-$1000, things that are $100-$500, and things that are less than $100). Make categories for things that can be done spontaneously (like trying a new restaurant in town) versus things that require advance planning (like a trip to Greece). If...

TL;DR in English: Make a bucket list. Categorize the list. Try to do one thing on your list every month.

Components like lights, windshield wipers, radios, etc. draw power from the battery to run.  If you want your battery to charge effectively, they will need to be turned off. . In order to jumpstart your vehicle you will need another vehicle that has a good battery to give you a boost. Usually parking the cars facing each other will get the batteries closes, but sometimes it's better to park them side by side.  Either way, be sure that the cars are not touching. You will need these to connect the dead battery to the good battery. Current will flow between them, allowing your engine to start and charge your dead battery.  If you have a choice, longer cables can be easier to connect but transfer energy less effectively than short cables.  Also, a lower gauge cable (thicker) will transfer energy faster. The batteries will be located in a different place depending on the make and model of the vehicles. Most batteries will be found either under the hood and or in the trunk of your vehicle.  Sometimes the battery is not easily accessible.  If this is the case you most likely have a charging post under the hood that is connected to the battery.

It's better to layer short hair when it's evenly damp, so that you can cut the hair with greater precision. Wash and condition your hair as usual, then towel it dry in preparation for the haircut.  Layering short hair is more difficult to do by yourself than layering long hair, since you're creating each layer individually. Keep in mind that this method will only work for pixie style cuts. Take a look at your hair and decide exactly where you want the layers to be and how short you want them before you begin. Plan to cut your hair in a well-lit bathroom with at least two mirrors, so you can check your progress often and see the back of your head as well. Short hair must be divided into sections before layering. Use a comb to carefully divide your hair in the following way:  Make a "top box" section by creating a part on either side of the crown of the head where the head begins to round. The two parts create a section of hair in the middle of the head. Comb this "top box" forward and comb the hair to either side straight down, so that the sections are clearly delineated. It may also help to twist your hair before clipping it. Divide the rest into two parts: the first part extends from the crown of your head to your forehead, and the second part extends from the crown of your head to the nape of your neck. Lift the hair at a ninety-degree angle from your head and hold it straight between your forefinger and middle finger. Your fingers should be perpendicular to your forehead. Use a sharp scissors to trim the tips of the hair extending from between your fingers. Let the hair fall, then use the comb to lift another section of hair in the section of hair that is immediately behind the front section. Then comb a bit of the hair from the first section into this new section. This will serve as a guide for the correct length. Hold it at a 90-degree angle from your head between your forefinger and middle finger, then trim the tips to the exact same length as the first section of hair you trimmed.  Continue trimming...

TL;DR in English: Get your hair ready for layering. Comb your hair into sections. Use a comb to lift the frontmost section of the top box. Trim the top box. Part your hair down the middle. Trim the sides of your hair. Examine your layers.

Some homes will have multiple breaker boxes in different places. Find both the main circuit breaker box and the one you need to replace a circuit breaker in. If you’re unsure about the circuit breaker boxes in your home, call an electrician. Before you begin working on any breaker boxes, you should make sure they are still in a safe condition. Any damage or contamination to the box may make it unsafe to work on.  Look for any signs of rust, discoloration, charring or moisture when you first examine the circuit breaker box and throughout the process. If you see anything that seems dangerous or unexpected, call an electrician. Beware of certain types of panels, specifically those bearing one of the following names: Federal Pacific Electric, Federal Pioneer, Zinsco, Kearney, GTE Sylvania, or Stab-lok. The safety of these panels is highly debated. Research the issue and contact an experienced electrician for advice. Decide what to do based on the information you find. Electricity can be incredibly dangerous to work around, so take all precautions when trying to reduce the chance of an electrical shock. Use rubber insulated tools, and wear rubber-soled shoes and insulated gloves when working with electricity. If you don’t have rubber-soled shoes or if you want to take further precautions, put down a rubber mat below the circuit breaker box. If the area around the breaker box is damp or otherwise unsafe, call an electrician. You should only replace a circuit breaker that has broken or been damaged in some way. If a circuit breaker is damaged, it will likely have tripped, cutting power to the section of the home it controls. Look through your breaker box for the circuit breaker which stands out from the others. Generally, a tripped circuit breaker switch will be halfway between the on and off positions. Before you replace a circuit breaker, make sure the breaker itself is faulty and not just overloaded. Unplug and switch off all light and electrical devices in the section of your home controlled by the circuit...

TL;DR in English: Find the circuit breaker box. Inspect the exterior of the breaker panel for damage or discoloration. Use rubber-insulated tools, gloves, and shoes. Locate the defective breaker. Test the faulty breaker. Test the voltage of the circuit breaker.

Annuals typically thrive in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.3 and 6.7. Add 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) of peat moss, compost or manure to the garden soil to build up organic matter and create a healthy environment for the seeds to grow. Consider adding a seed-starting mix to the soil. Seed-starting mixes can be found at most garden centers. These nutrient-rich mixes can encourage seed growth. Consult the seed packet to determine how much light the annual plant will need. Many annuals need full sun, which is considered 6 or more hours of sunlight each day. Others, such as begonias or impatiens, thrive in the shade. Choose a location best suited for the sunlight requirements of your annual seeds. Consult the seed packet to determine the recommended depth and spacing for planting your annual seeds. In general, plant an annual seed at a depth that is 2 or 3 times the seed's diameter.  Plant small seeds near the top of the soil. To plant very small seeds, pour the seeds into the palm of your hand, take a pinch of the seeds with the thumb and forefinger of your opposite hand, and sprinkle the seeds over the soil. Using your hand, tap the seeds lightly into the soil so they are lightly covered with soil. Plant larger seeds further into the soil. Use a screwdriver or pencil to poke a hole into the soil at the depth recommended on the seed packet. Place the seed into the hole and fill the hole with soil. Tap the soil lightly with your hand. Keep the water around the seed moist, but don't over-water or create puddles of standing water around the seeds. Fertilize the seeds immediately after planting. In most cases, annuals planted in the ground will not need additional fertilizer after the initial application. As seedlings begin to emerge, thin the plants so they are not growing right on top of each other. Consult the seed packet to determine the ideal spacing between mature plants.

TL;DR in English:


Buy a case and screen protector. Designate a safe place to keep and store your phone when not in use. Keep your phone dry. Clean your phone regularly. Recharge your cell phone on a regular schedule. Turn off the ringer on your phone when you're in a class, a lecture, a meeting, etc.

If you have access to an adult Angel Trumpet plant, harvest 1 of its seed pods after the pod turns brown or yellow. Then, carefully peel off the pod’s skin using your fingers, exposing lots of small seeds. If you don’t have access to an adult plant, purchase a pack of Angel Trumpet seeds from a gardening supply store. When you’re ready to plant your seeds, fill a small bowl with warm water and place the seeds inside. Let the seeds soak for about 24 hours, then dry them off with a clean towel. Soaking your seeds will remove the thin layer of pulp surrounding them. If you leave this layer on, they may not germinate properly. Grab a small paper towel sheet and dampen it with warm water. Then, spread your seeds out evenly on the paper towel and fold the sheet up into a tight package. Try to use sheets that are about 4 in (10 cm) long. If you have a lot of seeds, you may need to use multiple sheets. Grab your moistened paper towel package and slip it into a resealable plastic bag. Then, seal the bag. You do not need to press out any excess air before closing the bag. If you have multiple paper towel packages, make sure you use a different plastic bag for each of them. To make sure your seeds germinate properly, place them in an area that has a constant temperature between 60 and 70 °F (16 and 21 °C). Remove your seeds from the bag once they develop small, white stem strands, an indication that they’ve successfully germinated.  In most cases, your seeds should take between 3 and 4 weeks to fully germinate. You can remove your seeds as soon as you see their stem strands. You don’t have to wait for them to grow to a specific length. When left unchecked, your germinating seeds can develop mold or become fungal. To prevent this, replace the damp paper towel once every other day.

TL;DR in English: Acquire Angel Trumpet seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Wrap the seeds in a moist paper towel. Seal the seeds in a plastic bag. Store your seeds in a warm place until they germinate. Replace the paper towel every other day.

A lot of dates are arranged via text, DM, social media, and in other similar ways. When deciding how to ask a girl out, pick whichever method feels most natural to your normal way of communicating. Keep in mind that you’ll want to be really clear via text so that your intentions aren’t misunderstood. Rather than being vague and asking her to just “hang out” or what she’s up to that weekend, pick something fun that you think you’d both enjoy. This gives her something to respond to, and you won’t be left wondering what to do if she says yes. Here are some great first date ideas:  Go to an arcade or to play mini-golf Go to a coffee shop and a used bookstore Plan a movie marathon Go to an admission-free art exhibit or festival Volunteer at the local animal shelter to walk and play with the animals Make homemade pizza and do a puzzle together Send her a message that says something simple like, “Hey Kate, I think you’re really cute. Want to go play arcade games and get something to eat this Friday?” Telling her you think she’s attractive clues her in that this is a romantic message and not just a friendly one.  Remember to ask about a specific activity. For example, “Would you like to go out on a date with me next Saturday? I thought we could get dinner and go see a movie,” sounds much more romantic than, “Want to hang out sometime next weekend?” The latter could be misinterpreted. Text isn’t the only option—you could use DMs in different social media apps or send a cool video through Instagram or Snapchat. If you get rejected, don’t wait too long to reply. You could say something like, “That’s okay! I just wanted to ask. I still think you’re cool and will see you in class.” It’s not fun to get rejected, but it is a normal experience and doesn’t mean anything bad about you as a person. It’s just not the right fit right now. If you do get rejected, reassure yourself that at least now you know. You won’t be left wondering what could have happened, and you have more practice under your belt for the next time you...

TL;DR in English: Use text or social media if that’s how you normally communicate. Pick an activity to ask her to do before you send your message. Keep the text short, sweet, and specific. Accept her answer and respond quickly even if she turns you down. Make plans for your first date if she says yes.

Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed, such as your bedroom. Turn off any electronic devices that may distract you, such as the television, phone, or computer. Turning off the lights and shutting your blinds will also help. Candles are a great way to focus your attention during meditation. If you have created an angel altar, then you can light the candle on your altar. If you do not have an angel altar, then you can just light a candle and place it on a table in front of you.  If you do not want to light a candle, then you can also use a rosary to help focus your attention or listen to some repetitive nature sounds, such as ocean waves or rain sounds. Meditation requires you to be still for a long time, so make sure that you are comfortable. For example, you may want to sit on a cushion. You can even lie down to meditate, as long as you're sure you won't fall asleep. Close your eyes or watch your candle. Try not to think of anything, not even your guardian angel for a few minutes. Focus on keeping your breath steady and slow. If you notice that you have started thinking about something, then take a moment to acknowledge the thought and then refocus on your breathing. In your mind, say "hello" to your angel. Thank your angel for watching over you. Then, let your angel know about any problems that are bothering you and ask your angel for guidance. If you have learned or prepared a prayer, then take a moment to recite the prayer. You can do this in your head or say the prayer out loud. Any sign that your angel is there will most likely be subtle. For example, you may hear a faint noise, see a fleeting image in your mind's eye, notice a sensation of warmth, or get the feeling that someone is in the empty room with you. Some people believe that angels cannot interfere in our lives without being directly asked to. If you're not sure your angel is there, try asking your angel to let you know someone is there. When you have finished speaking with your angel, say goodbye. You may want to end your meditation...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your space. Light a candle. Sit in a position that is comfortable. Breathe deeply and clear your mind. Greet your angel. Listen for your angel's reply. Emerge from your meditation slowly. Practice your meditation.

These will take care of your phone by preventing it from being subject to knocks and scratches. This helps to keep the phone's appearance longer and may also protect it from some internal damage should you accidentally knock or drop the phone. It should be somewhere that is out of the way and where the phone is not likely to be knocked onto the floor or trodden on. For example, good places include keeping it on a desk, bookshelf, or in a cabinet. It's a good idea to choose one spot where it always goes (near a recharger) so that you can find it with ease, any time.  Do not keep your phone stored in a purse or other closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off. Charging a mobile phone in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Li-ion batteries (typical for most phones) give off heat when charged and when discharging. Always use genuine chargers and accessories. Cheaper ones that are not compatible or made for going with your brand of phone can harm the phone or lessen its lifespan. Don't talk on your cell phone while it's raining, do not eat or drink near the phone, and avoid carrying it near open water (such as a pond, the beach, or toilets). If you do get your phone wet, see How to save a wet cell phone. Use dry tissue paper or alcohol wipes to clean the phone's exterior surfaces. Do not use water, baby wipes, or other cleaners that may inadvertently add moisture to your phone. Some phones will last more than a week or more on a single charge (when not in use), while others may need to be charged every day or every other day. If you spend too much time talking on your phone, you can quickly use up your battery's charge. Keep your battery percentage between 40%-80% for longer battery life. Even in relatively everyday activities such as watching a movie in a movie theater, or attending church, it is polite to keep your ringer on vibrate or turned off. The last thing you want to do is frantically try to turn off your ringer in these scenarios. Doing...
