It generally takes three bundles of shingles to cover 100 square feet (9.29 square meters). Asphalt shingle "bundles" are actually sealed in packages (the term bundle comes from wooden shingles which actually came tied up with wire in bundles). Measure your roof and buy appropriately. Measure the length and width of the individual sections of the roof, multiplying them together to determine the area. Add the areas of each section together, then divide by 100 to get the correct number of squares. Multiply this number by 3 to get the number of bundles you'll need to buy. This will help determine how the shingles will lay on the roof width. Most asphalt shingles are 3 feet (91.4 centimeters) in length. If your roof's width is not an even multiple of the shingle's length, you will have a partial piece on one end of each row. The bottom row of shingles must hang past the edge of the roof. For a wood shingle roof you would have to cut the shingles that go on the edge to create a straight line to accommodate this. Start removing the shingles at the peak farthest from the trash container, or the corner you want to collect the shingles in. Use a garden fork or a roofing shovel to pull them off quickly, use the hammer-method and go by hand for a more thorough job. Make sure that you protect the sides of the house and the windows during this process, such as by leaning a large piece of plywood against the house below where you are working. Otherwise you might break a window or damage the siding.   Pry up the nails and loosening the ridge caps. It's ok if you don't get all the nails at first, because you'll have a chance to go back through and remove them later. Remove the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys in the roof. Flashing in the valleys will almost always be trashed, especially. Some roofers will keep some of the flashing that's in good shape, but it's probably worth junking it all when you've got the chance. Sweep the roof as clean as possible. Remove nails that didn't come up earlier. Reattach...

TL;DR in English: Get the right number of shingles for the job. Measure the length of a shingle as it lies across the roof. Remove old shingles and flashing. Clean the roof. Install underlayment and new flashing. Choose the kind of starter course you will use. Use chalk lines to make a guide for yourself.

When you’re prepping the surface of your acrylic furniture, avoid using a dusting cloth to remove dirt and dust. These types of cloths can trap particles that won’t seem big to the naked eye, but will scratch your furniture. Even though acrylic furniture is clear, you shouldn’t use the same cleaners that you do on glass windows to clean it. Cleaners specifically made for plastics, like Brillianize cleaner, is the best option for cleaning your acrylic furniture. It prevents scratches and won’t break down the acrylic, giving it a cloudy appearance. Squirt a small amount of cleaner onto the piece of furniture you’re cleaning and then polish that area with your cloth. Once you’re done with that small area, move on to the next. Don’t spray the whole piece of furniture and then wipe it down.

TL;DR in English: Avoid using dusting cloths. Use cleaners specifically designed for plastics. Clean small areas at a time.

You should type up the purchase and sale agreement so that it is legible. You don't want the other side to claim that you hid information using small fonts, so set the font to a readable size and style. Times New Roman 12 point works for many people. If you are going to use your sale and purchase agreement more than once, then set it up as a template. Include blank lines for information that will change from contract to contract, such as the name of the purchaser and the purchase price. At the top of the page, you should center the title between the left- and right-hand margins. Title your document something like “Purchase and Sale Agreement” or “Agreement to Purchase Real Estate.” You need to identify the purchaser and the seller at the start of your agreement. You could include blank lines for their names or insert a brief paragraph like the following: “[Insert the name of purchaser] (‘Purchaser’), offers and agrees to purchase from [insert the name of seller] (‘Seller’), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the property legally described as [insert legal description].” You need to accurately describe the property in your agreement, so find the legal description of property, which is on the deed. You can get a copy of the deed at your county’s Recorder of Deeds office. See Get a Legal Description of Property for more information.

TL;DR in English: Format the document. Insert a title. Identify the parties to the sale. Add the legal description of property.

Before bacon can be battered and deep fried, it needs to be heated through to make sure it doesn't come out undercooked. Lay out your bacon strips on a pan, plate or baking dish, cutting them as needed so they'll fit in the fryer. Bake, pan fry or microwave the bacon until it's done, then allow it to cool.  Thick-cut bacon will work best for battering since it will be less brittle and makes for a heartier bite. Try to get your bacon slightly less done, as it will be cooked a second time later. Combine 3 eggs, 2 cups of whole milk and 3 cups of all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they form a thick batter. Add salt, pepper and other spices to taste. Refrigerate the batter for about 20 minutes to lower the temperature and help it set up.  Seasoned salt, garlic salt, onion powder, cayenne pepper and paprika all make great optional flavor additions to fry batter. The colder the batter is, the better it will fry to a crispy finish and protect the bacon from overcooking. Once the batter has cooled, take it out of the refrigerator and grab your precooked bacon. Dip the bacon into the batter with a pair of tongs, being sure each strip is generously coated on both sides. The bacon is now ready for the fryer.  Give the batter a quick stir after it comes out of the refrigerator. If it looks too thick, add an extra splash of milk and whisk again. If you're using a thin-sliced bacon, batter the strips by hand so they don't break. Place 2-3 strips of bacon into the hot oil and allow it to start frying. The number of strips you'll be able to cook per batch will mostly depend on the size of your pan or fryer. Try not to put in too many pieces at one time, or they could stick together or cause the batter to slough off. Watch out for popping oil when you put the bacon in the deep fryer. Even a small splatter could be extremely painful. Give the bacon a little time to absorb the oil and start sizzling. Since the light, airy batter will cause the bacon to float on top of the oil, the...

TL;DR in English: Prepare the bacon. Mix up a simple batter. Coat the bacon thoroughly. Drop the bacon in the fryer. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the fryer and serve. Finished.

There are a variety of unpowered, handheld engraving tools you can use. To make detailed pictures, such as you might see in a 19th-century book, select two or three tools for different effects. Here are three common types of traditional, handheld engraving tools:   Spitstickers are used to carve fluid lines.  Gravers produce lines that swell or shrink as you cut, depending on changes in the tool's angle.  Scorpers, with round or square tips, gouge out large areas of the wood to produce white space in the printed image. This tool is probably not necessary if you are not printing. Take a bottle of black pen ink, and use a brush or a cloth to barely cover a flat, wooden block. This will make the areas you've already cut stand out, so it's important not to use so much ink that it soaks down below the surface. Let the ink dry completely. Once it has, check whether there is a rough "nap" to the wood. If there is, remove it by burnishing firmly with a paper towel. A small, leather sandbag makes an excellent support for the wood, providing a firm backing regardless of the direction you push. Clamping the wood to a table is not recommended, since you'll need to move the block around as you engrave. Hold the tool as you would a computer mouse, with your hand lightly cupped around the handle. Press against one side of the metal stem with your index finger, and press the other side with your thumb. Let the heel of the handle rest in your cupped palm; when engraving, you'll push against the heel to provide pressure. Press the tool into the wood at a shallow angle to engrave. Use your other hand to turn the wooden block slowly as you push forward with the tool. Cut no more than 1 centimeter (less than ½ inch) at a time before adjusting the position of your hand. It will likely take some practice before you can cut smoothly.  If the tool quickly embeds itself and halt, the angle is probably too steep.  "Graver" tools can be gradually moved to a steeper or shallower angle to widen or narrow the line drawn. This can take some...

TL;DR in English: Select engraving tools. Apply a thin layer of ink over the wood. Check that the surface is prepared. Support the wood (optional). Hold the engraving tools. Engrave the wood. Experiment with your approach. Add ink to the woodcut. Transfer your design onto paper. Clean your tools.

This will aid in the filling of the sausage linings. A manual mincer and filler can cost anywhere between $25 and $75. It should be stainless steel for easy cleaning. A small mincer will clamp to your kitchen counter or another surface and you will turn a crank to insert the sausage stuffing into a casing. Place used dishes in the dishwasher immediately, in order to reduce the possibility of contamination. Wash anything that came into contact with raw meat. Buy 1 2.2lbs. (1kg) of minced pork shoulder. You can also buy the pork shoulder and grind it yourself if you own a meat grinder. (200g) of pork back fat. You can dice some back fat at home, but you may need to buy it from a butcher. Using back fat in addition to the pork shoulder will increase the fat content of the meat, making it juicier and more like traditional Spanish chorizo. You can leave out this ingredient if you would prefer a leaner product.

TL;DR in English: Buy a sausage making/filling machine. Clean and disinfect the area you plan to use to make sausage. Procure your pork. Buy 7 oz.

It's easy to fall into a case of early senioritis - where you don't want to do any of your schoolwork, because you feel like you're almost done. However, allowing your grades to drop will show up on your transcripts, which can potentially harm your opportunities for colleges and jobs. If you slack off too much or skip school, you may even put your graduation at risk. Don't let the lack of motivation in junior year bite you later on! Remember, if you fail a class in junior year, you don't have a lot of time to make it up - you'll either have to take summer school, which will take time away from your summer, or you'll have to take it again in senior year, which can result in you being overly stressed out. You'll need to meet your school's credit requirement in order to graduate, and by the time you're in junior year, you'll only have two years to make up any missing credits. Talk to your school counselor to make sure you're on track with your credits, to make plans for junior and senior year, and to figure out how to make up any missing or incomplete credits.  You'll usually be encouraged to take advanced classes in junior year, though it's best to only take advanced classes that you can handle and in subjects you enjoy.  Usually, your school's mandatory classes will cover a fair amount of your needed credits, but just taking mandatory classes won't get you all the credits you need. Check with your school counselor to see what you still need. If you're in AP or IB classes, or even if you just want the college credit, it's a good idea to pay attention to your classes and start studying for the advanced tests. Look up when the testing dates are and mark them down, and set aside time to study for them. It'll make it easier to achieve high scores - especially if your teachers are also giving you advice for the tests! You probably already have a homework schedule figured out from freshman or sophomore year; now's not the time to let it slide, even amongst college visits or your work. Junior year is often one of the...

Being independent builds off of taking control of your life. You'll need to be able to take care of yourself in any way you need to. That can include day-to-day personal maintenance, taking care of your home, going to work on time, being productive, and managing your money wisely.  Independence can take different forms at different ages. The key is to show independence that is appropriate for your age. Independence can also involve age-appropriate responsibilities. As you get older, your responsibilities will change, and you'll need to be able to accomplish what's expected of you. A teenager has dramatically different levels of independence than someone in their 20s or 30s, just as that individual would have different levels of independence than someone in their 50s or 60s. Look to peers you know and respect for a living example of what someone in your age range must do to be independent. If you're struggling with independence, try talking to a life coach or career counselor. You can find these services by searching online or in a phone book. As an adult, you'll need goals of your own creation. Goals help give your life meaning and purpose by giving you something to strive towards, and offering you accomplishments worth celebrating. Implementing your goals and working towards your next great accomplishment requires you to prioritize your life, both personally and professionally. When you make goals for yourself, studies show that S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-bound) goals are the most likely to succeed. A S.M.A.R.T. goal should address the following components:  Specific - narrow down the scope of your goal. Rather than dealing with broad, generalized terms, focus on a clearly-defined outcome that you hope to achieve. Measurable - decide how you will measure success, both incremental and long-term. You'll need to know that you've achieved your goal at the end, and you'll need a way to track your progress along the way. Attainable - make sure that your goal can feasibly be...

Before lining your cabinet shelves, you’ll need to empty them out completely. Take out all of your non-perishable bottles, cans, and boxes of food as well as all dishes and cooking utensils. Put these items on a nearby flat surface that’s out of the way, such as your kitchen table. Soak a clean cloth in either all-purpose cleaner or vinegar diluted by water and wring out the cloth well. Wipe down the interior of your cabinets with the cloth. Use a toothbrush to scrub the edges, corners, and cracks. Keep the cabinet doors open for a half hour or so after you’ve cleaned them so that they can dry out naturally. Touch the shelves after this amount of time has gone by to check that they’re fully dry.

TL;DR in English: Remove all food and dishes from your cabinets. Clean the interior with all-purpose cleaner or a vinegar solution. Let the shelves air dry.

If you find yourself in a potential or actual conflict with another driver, back off and give them some space on the road. If the other driver begins to drive recklessly, slow down and change your route. You want to  stay calm and avoid getting into a traffic accident with this person. Remember that an angry driver is dangerous. They can cause significant harm with their car. In some cases, a driver may even be carrying a weapon. Regardless of whether you feel confident that you are in the right, it is incredibly dangerous to engage and escalate an argument in cases of road rage. You can  avoid road rage or reduce the chance that anger will grow by putting distance between yourself and the other driver. Let other cars into your lane to create a buffer between you and the angry driver. In the midst of a heated exchange, eye contact can escalate anger. The other driver may mistake eye contact as a taunt or a personal affront regardless of your intentions. As you allow the other driver to pass, keep your eyes on the road ahead of you. Roll-up your windows and lock your doors. This will put a fairly strong barrier between you and the other motorist. This alone does not ensure your safety, but a buffer can deter or slow an attacker. Remember that the other driver may already be angry from another experience. Their anger may be displaced, but it can be dangerous. Do not try to reason with a person expressing road rage. If you are still moving and the other driver begins to follow you, do not drive to your home or place of work. Keep a distance between an enraged driver and yourself and prevent them from learning where they can find you. If the other driver is aggressively pursuing you, look for a safe neutral place that will get you out of traffic. A police station or a fire department is a good option. If you cannot find one, look for a parking lot of a busy shopping center. Do not drive home or into enclosed spaces such as parking structures.

TL;DR in English: Don't engage. Let the angry driver pass. Avoid eye contact. Stay in your car. Do not lead an angry driver to your home. Seek a safe place.

There are several varieties of cranberry plants that can be used in home growing. The variety you choose will depend on what you intend to use the berries for.  Howes cranberries are small, red berries native to Massachusetts. They are easy to grow and will stay fresh for a long time after harvesting, if stored correctly. Stevens cranberries are a hybrid variety of cranberry designed for productivity and disease resistance. They are large and bright red in color.  Two more varieties are Ben Lear (large, burgundy-colored berries) and Early Black (small, deep red berries). However, these varieties are not recommended for first time growers as they are more difficult to care for and are more prone to disease and insect infestation than the other varieties. Cranberries are best grown in cooler climates. Consult a USDA plant hardiness zone map. Cranberries should be grown between zones two and five. This includes much of the northern and Midwestern United States. Cranberries can be planted at various times throughout the year, depending on the age of the plant.  Cuttings and seedlings can be planted throughout autumn, from October to early November. They can also be planted in springtime, from the middle of April to the end of May.  3 year old rooted plants -- which are still actively growing -- can sometimes be planted in summer, provided they are purchased in pots. When it comes to soil, cranberry plants have unique requirements -- they need soil with a low pH value and a high level of organic matter. As a result, it is often necessary to replace your existing soil instead of trying to alter it.  The average size for a cranberry plot is 4 foot (1.2 m) by 8 foot (2.4 m). However, if you are only growing a single plant, a 2 foot (0.6 m) by 2 foot (0.6 m) square will do just fine. Dig out the existing soil in the cranberry plot, to a depth of 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm). Fill the plot in with peat moss, then mix in 1/2 pound of bone meal and 1 pound of blood meal. Optionally, you can add 1 cup of epsom salts...

TL;DR in English: Choose a variety of cranberry. Plant at the right time of year. Prepare the soil. Plant the cuttings or seedlings. Alternatively, grow the cranberries in a container.

Many companies manufacture products specifically designed to prevent glasses from fogging. These are either a spray or gel and, when applied directly to your lens, will reduce fog by forming a barrier that protects against moisture condensing. Most products require you to spray both sides of the lens, let dry, and wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Some products suggest longer dry times, while others require the spray or gel be rinsed off prior to wiping. Check product packaging for specific instructions. These pre-treated cloths are convenient and easy to use. Simply wipe both sides of the lens using the pre-packaged wipe. These wipes are made for only one use, so just throw it away when you're finished. Check with your eye doctor about the availability and cost of applying a one-time coating to your lenses to permanently prevent fog. This option may be particularly useful when there are drastic and/or frequent temperature changes or if the fog creates a safety hazard. Be prepared to leave your glasses for a few days and spend between $50-$100.

TL;DR in English: Purchase an anti-fog product to treat your glasses at home. Purchase anti-fog wipes for on-the-go protection. Invest in a professional anti-fog treatment for a longer lasting solution.

You should only use an unlocking service if your carrier refuses to unlock your phone. Reputable services include "Free Unlocks" and "CellServices (around $20), as well as UnlockBase (around $10).  This menu contains information about your carrier (e.g., Verizon or Sprint), your phone model number, and your IMEI number. The unlock service will need this International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number in order to issue a code to you. The unlock service should not ask you for personal information such as your home address. You may have to enter your phone number and name as it appears on your contract. Most unlocking services support PayPal--your most secure option--in addition to standard Visa cards. If you want to use PayPal but don't have an account, set one up for this transaction. Most services will send you your code within an hour, though some take as long as three business days. Most unlock services will tell you approximately how long you'll be waiting for the unlock code on their website. You will need to enter this number into your phone after installing a new SIM. To activate the unlock code input, you'll need to replace the current SIM. You can find SIM cards at their respective carrier stores (e.g., a Sprint SIM card would come from a Sprint store). Turning off your phone will prevent the SIM card from being damaged when you remove it. It should be located on the side of your phone, on the same side as the Power button. The SIM card tray should slide out.  Your card removal tool should have come with your phone, but you can also (gently) use a bent paper clip for this step. Your service provider can also open your SIM slot for you. Set it aside in a safe place, such as a plastic bag. It should only fit one way, with the gold strips pointing down (away from the screen side of the phone). This should turn your phone back on.  Your phone may reboot after this point. If you switched from AT&T to Verizon, for example, the service provider name in the information bar at the top of your screen...

TL;DR in English: Ask your carrier if your phone is eligible for a free unlock. Search for "HTC phone unlocking service". Open your "Settings" menu. Select the "About Phone" tab, then open "Phone Identity". Scroll down to find your IMEI number, then write it down. Enter your IMEI number and email address into the unlock service's site. Purchase your code using a secure payment method. Check your email for an unlock code. When you receive your unlock code, write it down. Purchase a SIM card for your new network. Hold down the power button, then select the "power down" option. Find the SIM card access slot. Insert your card removal tool into the hole next to the slot. Remove the old SIM card from the tray. Insert your new SIM card into the tray. Hold down the power button. If you have a SIM pin number, enter it now. Enter your unlock code. Confirm that your unlock was successful.

In some cases, you may even be able to convince somewhat popular though still relatively unknown bands to allow you to shoot their music videos. This will help you learn how to manage the expectations and on-camera movements of band members, and could result in suitable material for your demo reel. Not all directors are skilled at film editing, but having a general knowledge of it will help you to coach the editors you work with to your desired result. Take some time to play around with film editing software until you are comfortable with the basics. Also, you should always make sure any finished productions are well-edited. You may want to consider taking a class on film editing, specifically. There's a great deal of psychology that goes into piecing together a story from separate shots, and knowing this can put you ahead of the curve. In particular, on-spec/brand competitions should receive priority, as these generally are more highly regarded than others. Try not to get discouraged if it takes you a while before you see any success at one of these. Competition can be fierce.  Keep improving upon your method and techniques as you make videos for competitions. Critique can be difficult to hear, but can result in drastic improvements. When you finally win or achieve a "shortlisted" or "runner up" ranking, you should include this information in any bio, personal statement, or resume you submit. These sorts of awards serve as proof that you are a serious film maker. Your demo reel is a short clip that shows prospective clients/employers what you can do as a music video director. It should include clips of your finest work, and shouldn't exceed more than 90 seconds in total length. It should be specific to the line of video production that you want to work in, like pop, heavy metal, or country.  These reels can either contain short snippets of many different scenes, or a few longer samples strung together. Don't forget to include your name and contact information in your demo reel.

If your cover is removable, either run it through the dryer, if the label permits it, or hang it to air dry.  Lay the plastic surface out to air dry. Once you have rinsed the plastic and metal parts of the seat, you can simply leave it sitting someplace to air dry. Wiping it with a dry cloth will expedite the process, but in general, it’s best to allow several hours or a day for it to dry completely. As noted, always only air dry harness straps and buckles. If you cannot remove the cover, you can leave the entire seat, cover and all, in a sunny place to dry. If you don't have sunshine, it will just take more time.  You can use odor-eliminating sprays on the base and fabric cover if desired.  Remember, however, that your child's skin will be in close contact with the cover, so be mindful of the materials in your chosen spray. Don't spray down the harness straps.  Just rely on air as the odor eliminator. Once it has dried completely, reattach the fabric cover to the seat base. Refer to the instruction manual if necessary. You basically need to reverse the process you used to remove the cover, so if you took mental or physical notes, or a picture, video, or sketch, you should be in good shape. Pull the strap back through the holes correctly, in the right order, to properly install the seat and make sure that it is safe for your child. Again, refer to the instruction manual if necessary.  Make sure that the straps do not twist when you thread them through the seat. Twists in the straps can cause them to wear out faster, and they may rub uncomfortably against your baby's skin. Even worse, if the straps are severely twisted, they may not hold your infant securely in a collision. If you have any concern about your re-installation, take your seat to a fire department or other site where free car seat safety checks are done.  Someone there will be happy to ensure a safe installation. Likewise, if you have any concerns about the integrity of any components, especially straps and buckles, replace them or the entire...

You can make an ice pack using two parts water and one part alcohol. The alcohol will prevent the water from completely freezing. To start, mix your water and rubbing alcohol together in a mixing bowl.  Two parts water to one part alcohol means for every two units of water, there should be one unit of alcohol. For example, if you're using two cups of water, use one cup of alcohol. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, you can pick some up at a drug store. Be sure to keep the rubbing alcohol mixture away from infants and small children. Rubbing alcohol can be dangerous when ingested and may irritate the eyes. Choose a Ziploc bag that's the right size for the ice pack you want. Pour the water and alcohol mixture into the bag. Go slowly to avoid spilling any of the mixture.  You may want to lay a towel down below where you're adding the water alcohol mixture to catch any that accidentally drips. It's a good idea to double bag for added strength. This will not diminish the effectiveness of the ice pack. Plastic bags should also be kept out of reach of children, and used as part of an ice pack only when supervised. Plastic bags pose a suffocation risk to unattended children. You want to make sure there is no air in the bag before you freeze it.

St. John's Wort is a plant with bright yellow flowers and a few black dots along the margins of the flower (depending of the species). The leaves of the plant have transparent dots. Each flower will have five petals. You can find the flower growing in fields and pastures in sunny areas.  Flowers bloom from late June to early September.  To harvest the plant cut off the upper first third of the plant. Dry the flowers by hanging them upside down in a cool, dry place.  Once the flowers are dried, store them in an airtight glass container. You can keep them for up to one year. Find a picture of the flower and take it with you when you go harvesting. You can buy seeds and grow your own St. John's Wort as well. Plant your seeds in early spring after the last frost. To be safe, plant your seeds indoors first, and then replant outside in late spring when the plant is about two inches tall. Your flowers will not bloom until the second year. If you need your St. John's Wort immediately, it is best to harvest the plant or buy the dried flowers. If you do not want to grow or harvest your own, you can buy dried St. John's Wort from a store or online. You can then make your own tea and oil with the dried plant. Look for plants that were grown organically and harvested within the last year. Take the flowering tops and a couple of inches of the plant and place them in a glass jar. Cover the flowers with olive oil. Set the jar in a sunny window for two to four weeks until the oil becomes bright red. Once the oil is red, use a strainer to separate the flowers and the oil. Pour the oil into a bottle with a lid and keep it in a dark cupboard. The oil should last for a year. You will need 1/4 a cup of the plant if you are using fresh St. John's Wort for your tea. If you are using dried plant, you will only need two teaspoons. Pour a cup of boiling water over the plant and let it sit for 5 minutes. Strain the water to remove all of the plant and drink the tea. You can add honey and lemon to improve the taste.

Many rapists think that they can simply overpower a victim and have their way with them. They are arrogant, but they are also wrong. The more you put up a fight, the better chances your attacker will give up and look for an easier target. Don't make yourself an easy target. Try using anything at your disposal to defend yourself — things everyone has, such as nails and fists, or everyday objects, such as umbrellas and rocks, to ward off the attacker.  The good news is that, as late as 2001, only 11% of would-be rapists used a weapon during the attempted rape. That means 9 out of 10 rapists had no more natural defense than you likely do. Carrying out a rape with a weapon means a lot more prison time. If the rapist is carrying a weapon, follow your instincts and take cues from the rapist. If you survive the sexual assault, you've done the right thing. If you've got pepper spray handy, take it out and hold it out at arm's length, aiming for the attacker's eyes while shouting "I've got pepper spray! I'll use it if I need to!" If you don't have any pepper spray, you can try putting your hand in your bag and yelling the same threat — "I've got pepper spray! I'll use it if I need to!" — trying to outsmart the would-be attacker. Any rapist who's been stung by pepper spray before is very likely to think twice before assaulting you. An informal sampling of rapists in prison found that many would leave a target alone if she threatened to fight back. Say "Stay away! I will fight back if you get closer!" Rapists are looking for easy targets; people talking on their phones while walking, rifling through their bags, etc. If you show them you won't go down without a fight, you could scare them off. If an attacker wraps their arms around you or is close enough to touch, first try to pinch them in one of two places: inside the upper arm (between the elbow and the armpit) or the upper inner thigh. Pinch hard; pinch like your life depends on it (because it could!) For context, try pinching yourself in either of these places. It...

TL;DR in English: Try putting up a fight if the attacker approaches you empty-handed. Use pepper spray — or the threat of it — to deter your attacker. If you suspect a rapist is following you, don't be afraid to tell them you'll fight back. Try pinching them where it hurts. Punch, kick, claw, or otherwise aim for the groin. Stomp on the attacker's toes or bend their fingers back, if possible. Learn SING.

Many types of navigation maps exist, including hiking, biking and nature trail maps, highway maps, and lake and nautical maps. The most classic and old-fashioned way to plan a road trip or some other excursion is to map it out on a road map.  Preview a day's hike or bike ride through a nature park by examining a map. You may be able to find out how difficult the trail is, the distance you'll be traveling and other sites of interest along the trail.  Plan a trip by viewing highway maps. Major highways and county roads are often listed on maps and provide you with many options when traveling. Maps can be used to provide key information about a detour or road construction. Departments of transportation use maps with detailed information about construction, detours or road closures so that travelers can be informed about the latest road conditions. Maps are often used in zoning and in construction to determine how far things are from one another, and how far apart they should be. Planning and zoning committees regularly use maps to divide districts or plan infrastructure work, and for demonstrating ownership. Deeds and contracts include maps with legal descriptions.  Some maps are used to predict crime activity. Criminal forensics teams use maps to pinpoint crime locations and predict future behavior of suspected criminals. Indicate political information with maps. Voters are often directed to their appropriate polling locations via precinct maps. Politicians represent constituents based on geographical location, easily represented by maps. Demonstrate locations of potential projects for the community, such as new parks, parking lots or community centers. Meteorologists create maps to demonstrate incoming storms, cold and warm fronts, and temperature changes. Viewers can identify predictions for their areas by looking at the map.

TL;DR in English: Plan a trip with a road map. Use an area map to coordinate with others. Investigate spatial relationships with area maps. Consult a meteorological map to examine weather forecasts.

The author will be on the outside of the book or on the title page. It's ok if there is more than one author. For our example, let's say your author's name is Georgia Smith. The publication date should be on the back of the title page. Use the most recent date. For the example, let's say the book's publication date is 1995. You have two basic ways that you can make a citation. You can name your author at the beginning of the sentence like this, using only the last name: “According to Smith (1995), leaves turn red in the fall.” Notice that in this instance, the date is in parentheses while “Smith” is not. The other way you can make an in-text citation is to put a citation at the end of the sentence without directly referencing the author in the sentence. This would look like the example: “Leaves turn red in the fall (Smith, 1995).” In this case, both the author and the date are in parenthesis, divided by a comma. Always put the author first and then the date. If you have two authors, you can separate the authors' last names with an ampersand (&). If you have more than two authors, you separate them with commas and an ampersand.  Example of in-text citation for two authors: “Leaves turn read in the fall (Smith & Davis, 1995). Example of in-text citation for three or more authors: “Leaves turn red in the fall (Smith, Davis, & Baxter, 1995).”  With three to five authors, you always list all the authors the first time you cite the source. After that, you'll use “et al.” in this way: “(Smith et al., 1995).” “Et al.” just means “and others.” If you have six or more authors, you will always use the “et al.” version, even with the first citation you make. In some instances, you'll also need the page number to explain where you found the information. You must have the page number if you are using a direct quote. Let's say you found this quote on page 123: “In my experience, leaves change from dark green to red in the fall.” You can cite this information in one of two ways. Whichever way you choose, always put the page...

Before deciding how the season will affect your clothing choices, you should make sure that you understand the wedding’s dress code. Consult the invitation, which will usually make it clear how guests are expected to dress. That way, you won’t dress too formally or casually for the event.  If the invitation says “White Tie”, the wedding has an extremely formal dress code. Women should wear floor length evening gowns, while men are expected to wear a tuxedo with long tails, a white vest, and a black bowtie. If the invitation says “Black Tie”, women can wear a floor length evening gown or a dressy cocktail dress. Men should wear a traditional tux with a cummerbund and bow tie. If the invitation says “Formal” or “Black Tie Optional,” women can wear a floor length dress, a formal cocktail style dress, or dressy separates. Men can wear a traditional tuxedo or a dark suit, white shirt, and tie. If the invitation says “Dressy Casual” or “Semiformal,” women should wear a cocktail dress or a dressy skirt and top. Men should wear a suit. If the invitation says “Festive Attire,” you can have a little more fun with your outfit. Women can wear a cocktail dress in a bold color and pair it with fun accessories, such as a cute hat. Men should wear a suit, but pair it with a fun tie in a bold color or pattern. While you can certainly wear any color that you like no matter what the season, a winter wedding is the perfect opportunity to wear rich, dark colors that fit the season. Black and navy appropriate for winter weddings, but so are jewel tones, such as sapphire, ruby, garnet, emerald, citrine, or amethyst.   Metallic tones such as gold, silver, and bronze, also work well for winter weddings.  Pro tip from wedding planner, Karen Brown: "If you're attending a winter wedding, dress in warm colors like burgundy, brown, purple, gray, and green." While lightweight fabrics such as chiffon and linen are ideal for spring and summer, they’re not the best option for winter weddings. Instead, opt for weighty, textured fabrics that...

TL;DR in English: Consider the dress code. Follow a deep, rich color palette. Choose textured fabrics.

A cowboy's horse is often trained to stand still when the cowboy dismounts and puts one of the reins on the ground.  This is called being "ground-tied." Experienced cowboys develop their own rapport with their horse, and may alter the reins or other elements of the tack. Generally, a cowboy performing ranch work will hold the reins in the left hand and allow them to hang somewhat loosely. This leaves the right hand free for roping cows or other work performed from horseback. Jockeys use the long, looped rein typical in English riding, with rubber grips for increased hold. In a horse race, the jockey pulls low and tight, so that the horse tucks his chin to his chest, in order to collect the horses gait and slow its gallop. This gives both horse and rider balance and allows the jockey a bit of leverage and control.

TL;DR in English: Train your horse to obey ground-tying. Adapt your style for ranch work. Use reins in horse racing.

If you already had a Visa debit card through your bank and need to activate a replacement, you can do so using the same PIN you used for your old card. You can get groceries, gas, or anything else you need at any location where Visa cards are accepted. Run the transaction as debit, rather than credit. Input your existing PIN number when asked, which will activate your card. You can only use this method if you already have a PIN. Find an ATM for your bank. Insert your card and enter your existing PIN, then use your new debit card to make a deposit or withdrawal. The transaction will activate your new card. You must have an existing PIN to activate your card this way.

If you care at all about the girl and her feelings, then you shouldn’t go around telling your friends, her friends, and anyone you pass in the halls, that you don’t return her feelings. Even if you really don’t like her very much at all as person, you should give her the respect she deserves by telling her the news yourself instead of letting her hear it from someone else.  Put yourself in her shoes — if you really liked a girl, how would it feel to find out that she doesn’t feel the same way from someone else? If her friends ask you if you like her or not, make sure you tell her that you don’t return her feelings instead of having her hear it from one of her friends. Another thing you should try to avoid is telling the girl how you feel when she’s surrounded by people. Though you may think it’s easier to just go up to her at a party or when she’s talking to a bunch of her friends, this will actually catch her off guard and will make her much more upset than if she were alone and had time to process what happened. Though it may be hard to get her completely alone, do the best you can to keep your news private so you cause as little pain as you can. You don’t want her to get extra embarrassed in front of her friends and your friends. Respect her feelings and her privacy. Another mistake guys make when they tell a girl they don’t like her is to lead her on because they feel bad about saying the truth. If you don’t mean it, then don’t say something like, “I’m just not ready for a relationship right now, but maybe we can date in the future” or “You’re the perfect girl for me but I just can’t let myself fall in love” or “I just need some time to get over someone right now.” Though you may think that this softens the blow, it actually will prolong her pain, and you should avoid making any declarations you don’t mean just because you think it’ll make the conversation easier. Make it clear that you don’t have romantic feelings for her and that you won’t have them at a future date, either. The sooner she knows this,...

TL;DR in English: Don’t tell other people before you tell her. Don’t tell her in public. Don’t lead her on. Don’t insult her when you reject her. Don’t make stupid excuses. Don’t drag it on.

It can be draining to listen to complaints. It can also make the conversation socially awkward. The next time a friend starts complaining, shift the focus.  Maybe your aunt complains about your uncle's busy work schedule. Try saying, "I understand you've been busy, too. Tell me all about your new book club!" When you redirect the conversation, you are demonstrating that you would like to talk about something else. Just make sure to change the subject to something more neutral. Avoid potentially negative topics. For example, if you have a friend who constantly complains about work, don't bring up the subject. Instead, talk about a book you both recently finished. Maybe your friends constantly use you as a sounding board. If people regularly complain to you, that means they see you as someone who can be trusted. But it can also be emotionally exhausting for you.  Let your friends know that you need to set some boundaries. Try saying, "Sara, I'm always here for you. But sometimes I'd like to talk about my own life when I'm with you." Maybe your friend has problems that make you uncomfortable. Don't be afraid to make that clear. For example, maybe your friend regularly complains about her disappointing sex life. Try saying, "Sheryl, would you mind if we change the subject? That kind of personal detail makes me uncomfortable." It is important to explain to your friends and family that it hurts you when they complain all of the time. You can use "I" statements to express your feelings and you can also ask the person who is complaining to rephrase his or her feelings using "I" statements.  An "I" statement focuses on the feelings or ideas of the person talking, rather than the person who is listening. Promoting "I" statements in your interactions with others may help you to feel less stressed by the complaints that you hear. When you live with someone who is constantly complaining, it can make you feel like he or she is blaming you for everything that is wrong in the house. Instead of stating, "I'm sick of hearing...

TL;DR in English: Change the subject. Set boundaries. Promote "I" statements. Deal with an elderly person who complains often. Cope with a complaining child. Spend time in groups.

Take first stitch in the row and slide it off of the left hand needle and onto the right hand needle. Do not knit the stitch. Just slide it from one needle to the other. Insert the right hand needle into the next stitch on the left hand needle as if you are going to knit the stitch. However, do not complete the stitch yet. Take your working yarn strand and wrap it around the needle that you just inserted through the stitch. Wrap the yarn around the needle in a clockwise fashion and then bring the strand to the front of your work. Use your thumb to anchor the loop at the length you want it to be. If you want a long loop, then position your thumb a few inches away from the needles. If you want a shorter loop, then position your thumb right next to the needles. After looping the yarn around your thumb, bring it back up and around the needle again, but wrap it in the opposite direction (clockwise) this time. Complete the first loop stitch by knitting 1 stitch. The loop will be secured by this stitch. Next, lift the first loop up and over the stitch you just knitted. Knit the next stitch as a normal stitch. It is important to knit 1 regular stitch after each loop stitch. After you finish 1 loopy stitch, start the sequence over again and continue to repeat it to the end of the row. The next row should just be knit stitches. This will ensure that your project is stable enough to support the loopy stitches. After a knit row, return to the loopy stitch row, and then the knit row again. Continue this sequence until you have completed your project.

TL;DR in English: Slip 1 stitch from the left needle to the right needle. Insert your needle into the next stitch. Wrap the yarn around the needle counter-clockwise 1 time. Loop the yarn around your thumb and then around the needle. Knit 1 stitch. Lift the first loop on the needle over the stitch you just knitted. Knit 1 stitch normally. Repeat the stitch sequence to the end of the row. Knit the next row. Alternate between loopy stitch rows and knit rows.

Measure down from the walls, towers, and keep. Make a separate line across each part. These lines will add more depth and detail to your castle.. These lines make the roof of the castle look more distinct. They also help outline the upper walkways, which you can add more detail to later. Draw it in the center of the keep. Make sure its edges are an equal distance from the towers to the left and right. Sketch an upside-down U-shape to create a basic door.  Change the height of the door depending on your design. You could make it big, about 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) the height of the keep, and it will still look good. A big door might make your castle look even harder to break into! If you’re drawing a castle from the side, the door may not be visible at all. Keep in mind the angle you have chosen for your drawing. People need some way to look out of the castle, so add a couple of windows along the front. Try drawing a pair of windows above the door, keeping them about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) from the top. Place a single window in the center of each tower section and then 3 more on the outer walls.  To draw simple windows, make them the same shape as the door. Draw a small, horizontal line, then draw an upside-down U-shape over it. The window positioning, size, and shape can vary a lot. It’s your design, so draw them how you want them! The simplest way to make the door stand out is with a series of lines consistently spaced out across its width. Try measuring about 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) from the edge of the door. Then, draw a straight line from top to bottom. Keep doing this until you have run out of room.  To ensure these lines are spaced out more evenly, measure the width of the door first. Take the measurement across the bottom or middle part of the door where it is widest. For additional decoration, you could draw a pair of thin wooden bars running across the door’s width. Try placing them 1⁄3 in (0.85 cm) of the way from the top and bottom edges. You could also draw an arch around the door to make it look like it has a wood...

There are different forms of film criticism. The most common form is the review, which acts as a recommendation or warning for people who haven’t yet seen the film. These are a few hundred words and focus on evaluating the film--saying whether it is excellent, good, mediocre, or poor.  An academic article is more formal than a review, and much longer. It is less focused on opinion, and assumes the reader has seen the film. A critical essay is less formal and more opinionated than an academic article, but more formal than a review. Don’t feel pressured to choose a particular form of criticism and stick to it. Many film critics write in all three forms, or blend different forms! A film critic should not merely describe the plot, scenes, music, and style of the film they are studying, but also be able to analyze these elements. To analyze a film, think about how different elements work together and the effect they produce.  For example, you might observe that a director uses a lot of dark colors in his film. Through analysis, you might conclude that this use of color mirrors the dark emotions of the main character. Critical essays and academic articles focus on description and analysis, while reviews usually do not. A critic should be able to interpret a film, or determine its meaning. Think about the claims a film is making. What message is the director trying to convey? Different critics may have different interpretations of the same film.  A film critic might interpret the film Snow White as a commentary on the pitfalls of vanity. Critical essays and academic articles offer interpretations, whereas reviews sometimes do, but often don't. Evaluation is the most important aspect of a movie review. When you evaluate a film, you make a judgment about its quality. Is it an excellent film, a mediocre film, or a bad film? Base your evaluation on your understanding of film as an art form.  A critic might offer the evaluation that Snow White is one of the best animated films of its time. Reviews focus heavily on...

Plan out everything you need to do during the day, and arrange them in order of importance. This will help you remember everything you need to get done. It will also give you a sense of capability and provide you with a visual reminder of both what you've accomplished and what tasks remain. Aim to get your most challenging or complex tasks done earlier in the day, when you have more energy. Disengaging from homework, studying, or work projects for a short period of time can improve productivity by making you feel more refreshed and recharged, and it can motivate you to get through your next set of tasks.. After pulling an all-nighter, it's important to return to your regular habits.

There are kits available for detecting the type and concentration of both of the two main compounds (or “cannabinoids”) found in marijuana, THC and CBD. In this case, you’ll want to choose a kit that looks for THC in particular. A combination kit that tests for both THC and CBD will also give you the information you’re looking for, though the results may be slightly more difficult to interpret.  You should be able to pick up a cannabinoid test kit at your local clinic or dispensary. If you don’t have one of these places in your area, try looking online. Home test kits typically sell for between $20-100, depending on the level of precision you’re looking for. Running a quick test will make it possible to find out approximately how much THC is in the strain you’re using. This can be useful if there was no medicinal information on display when you bought the product, or if you want to verify the contents on your own to determine the best dosage.  Only test one type of cannabis at a time. Make sure the strain you’re testing hasn’t been in contact with any other strains—this could throw off your reading. In most places where marijuana is legal, vendors are required by law to provide the cannabinoid content for the strain they sell. However, this is not always the case. Home testing is a good way to learn more about a certain strain before you put it in your body. Home test kits are relatively simple to use, but they all work a little bit differently. Look over the included instruction booklet or procedural summary on the back of the box to learn exactly how to conduct the test. Otherwise, there’s a chance that the results might not be accurate. Most kits contain multiple tests, which can give you a second chance if you make a mistake the first time around. Separate out roughly ⅕ gram and drop it onto the bottom of the vial. It only takes a minimal amount to achieve accurate results. The kit you’re working with should specify the exact amount of cannabis you’ll need to use.  Break up large clumps to allow the...

When installing floating engineered hardwood on a concrete floor, it’s best to do so on top of an underlayment. This will prevent the flooring from moving and also eliminate a crunching sound as you walk on the floor.Underlayment is a hard, thin, hard layer of foam, wood, or cement board. You can even use plywood, which can be nailed into place along the edges. Most manufacturers require a certain amount of space between the edge of the flooring and the wall. This space varies by manufacturer, but is usually around 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). Your hardwood might come with spacers, or you can purchase your own from most home improvement stores. Each board will have a groove on one edge and a tongue on the other. When placed together, this allows the hardwood to snap together with no space between boards. Apply wood groove adhesive to the groove in each piece of wood. Lay it on the floor and then insert the tongue of the next board. As you lay down each board and insert the tongue of one board into the groove of the next, set a tapping block on the end. Use a hammer or mallet to gently tap the tapping block to ensure each board is snug against the previous one. Once you tap the flooring together to ensure a snug fit, some glue might squeeze up between the boards. Immediately wipe this excess glue away with a damp rag. Otherwise it will be almost impossible to get off. Every 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) on each row, connect one row to the row after it with painters’ tape. This keeps the rows secure and prevents them from moving. You won’t have room to get a tapping block and hammer between the last row of flooring at the wall. Instead, place the tapping block against the last row of flooring and then use a flat bar to pull it snug. Apply glue to the edge of the trim that will butt up against the last row of flooring. Carefully lay the trim on the subfloor, then press it against the edge of the last row of flooring.

TL;DR in English: Install underlayment if you don’t already have it. Set up spacers along the walls. Apply glue to the groove of the board. Use a tapper block and hammer to ensure a snug fit. Wipe up any excess glue as you go. Use painters tape to secure each row. Use a flat bar to pull the last row of flooring against the one before it. Install the trim.

To prevent injury, you should stretch before doing this exercise. Stretching will loosen your muscles and enable you to do this exercise more fluidly.  Start stretching by standing up, with your feet spread shoulder length apart. Then, bend to touch your toes on each foot, and hold for 10 seconds. Alternatively, you can stretch sitting down. Sit on the floor with your legs spread, similar to a V position. Reach for your toes on the left foot, right foot, and then reach as far as you can in the middle, and hold for 10 seconds. To start the Hindu push-up, get into a normal, starting push-up position. With your knees bent and touching the ground, place your hands on the ground directly under your shoulders (your arms should be straight). Then, slowly remove your knees from the floor and dig your toes into the ground to stabilize the lower half of your body. You should be in a high plank position.  For beginners, place your hands and feet a little farther than shoulder-width apart.  More advanced trainees can keep their hands and feet closer together for a more intense workout. Once you are in the starting push-up position, begin to raise your backside up into the air. As you raise your backside into the air, keep your arms, legs, and back straight. At this point, your eyes should be looking at your feet. In this position, you will look like an upside down V. This V position is essentially the starting position, and you will return to this position after you complete each push-up.

TL;DR in English: Stretch before doing the Hindu push-up. Get into a starting push-up position. Raise your backside into the air.

Are you trying to land a job? Do you want to go on more dates? Keeping your goal in mind will help you stay motivated to socialize regularly. Having a goal will also help you know where to direct your efforts. For instance, if you’re networking for your career, you might decide to attend more conferences. Before you even go out, think up a few topics that you’d be comfortable discussing with other people. Having some conversation topics at hand will boost your confidence, especially if you’re shy.  Talking about the weather is always a safe option, since everybody deals with the weather on a daily basis. Other good topics of conversation include work, family, and food. Keep your conversation topics light, relatable, and neutral. Avoid talking about personal or touchy topics such as religion and health. Stick with things like "How do you know the host?" or "I haven't seen your family in a while. How are they?" Your social skills get stronger the more you use them. Unfortunately, the reverse is also true: if you stay inside all day, your social skills deteriorate. To stay on top of your social game, challenge yourself to interact with people regularly in your day-to-day life.  You can practice small talk with classmates, co-workers, or the person behind you in the checkout line. Set a goal to make conversation with one stranger each day. This can be with the cashier at the grocery store or the mailman. Consider getting a job that helps you develop your social skills. Waiting tables, bartending, and working retail are a few options that give you plenty of opportunities to talk with people. A low-pressure way to break the ice with someone before you meet them in real life is to reach out to them on social media. Try following them on Twitter or adding them on LinkedIn. This way, you won’t be total strangers when you meet face-to-face.  This strategy works especially well for meeting new people at work. If you hold extroversion up as the standard of “correct” behavior, you might end up feeling inferior for no good...

TL;DR in English: Define your reasons for socializing. Think of some conversation starters. Practice putting yourself out there. Connect on social media. Avoid comparing yourself to extroverts.

Visit an ATM that is in a well-lighted area, or one that is monitored by surveillance cameras or security personnel. This is true of both indoor ATMs and drive-up ATMs. If possible, try to use during daylight hours. Drive up ATMs are often safer than walk-up ATMs because of the privacy and safety of your vehicle and locked doors. Before using your card, be vigilant and look around for anyone who may arouse your suspicion. If you feel the least bit apprehensive, avoid using that particular ATM and search for a safer option.  If using a drive-up ATM, keep your engine running, keep your car doors locked, and keep all windows rolled up (except the one you are using). At a walk-up ATM, always lock your car doors and take your keys with you. Never leave the car running. Some ATMs require that you use your card to open the door to gain access to the ATM. Avoid letting anyone follow in behind you, and make sure the door is completely closed behind you when in the vestibule. Prepare all transactions before going to the ATM. Have your card ready so you won’t have to fumble around with your purse or your wallet. Also, if you’re making a deposit, have all checks endorsed and have the envelope sealed if you’re using one. Never share your PIN information with bank personnel, strangers, or anyone not associated with the account. When typing in your PIN, use your free hand to cover the keyboard. Some ATMs come equipped with screening devices but you can never be too safe. When withdrawing money from an ATM, be sure to place your card, money, and receipt in a secure place such as your wallet or purse before leaving the ATM. Discreetly count your cash to ensure you have the correct amount and store it quickly.

TL;DR in English:


Tar can leave stains on your skin even after you remove it. Scrubbing your skin gently can remove any excess tar or staining from it. Gently rub a clean washcloth or soft scrubber brush over stains or lingering bits of tar. Then cleanse your skin and rinse it with warm water. Repeat the scrubbing process if necessary. Using a gentle circular motion, rub a pumice stone over any tar or stains. Use a mild soap together with the pumice stone if you like. Then rinse the area with warm water and pat it dry with a clean towel. This can easily and effectively remove any lingering tar or stains on your skin. If you have tar or stains that are particularly difficult to remove, use an exfoliating scrub on your skin. You can buy or make your own exfoliator. Spread a layer of your chosen exfoliator over the area with tar bits or stains. Gently rub the exfoliator into your the skin until the tar or stains are gone. Some easy exfoliators you can make at home include:  Baking soda Sugar and olive or coconut oil paste Salt and almond oil paste Finely ground oatmeal and honey paste In some cases, you may not be able to remove tar from your skin or have very sensitive skin after removal. Make an appointment to see your doctor if this happens. The doctor can diagnose potential problems, remove lingering tar or stains, and administer appropriate treatment to your skin. Get medical attention if:  You can't remove the tar You have lingering stains You have pain or discomfort that won't go away You notice injury or damage to the skin exposed to the tar

TL;DR in English: Remove stains with a scrub brush. Clear away stains with pumice. Apply an exfoliating scrub. See your doctor.

There are thousands of banner ads and pop-ups on the internet that are designed to get your attention and make you click. Due to the way most modern browsers work, there are very few ways for you to get infected with something online unless you click on it yourself. This means you should avoid clicking on banners for offers that are too good to be true. Make sure your browser is configured to always ask before running files and downloading automatically. If you have to confirm everything, you are much less likely to get infected. Some of the most nefarious pop-ups on the internet are designed to mimic the look of legitimate anti-virus software. These pop-ups attempt to trick the user into thinking their antivirus software has found an infection. When you click the pop-up, however, the adware is actually installed.  Instead of clicking the warning, close the pop-up window and open the antivirus program on your computer. You most likely will not see any warnings. If you are still worried, run a scan using your installed software. Don't try clicking the "X" to close the pop-up window, as this will usually lead to more pop-ups. Instead, use the Task Manager to get rid of it. Alternatively, you can install and use an adblocker to prevent ads appearing in the first place.  Other pop-ups may warn of an infection that only their software can fix. No legitimate antivirus company will advertise their product this way, so avoid clicking on any of these pop-ups. Check to ensure that your browser is configured to block pop-ups. Pop-ups can store information in your browser's cache, leading to them reappearing constantly. To help prevent this, clear your browser’s cache regularly. Such scams intend to get your personal details, take control of your computer, demand payment, or install difficult-to-remove malware onto your computer.  If you fall for such a scam, report the number to the FTC. Note that real companies will not contact you or give you a number to call if your computer is infected with malware. There are...

TL;DR in English: Avoid clicking on everything. Beware of misleading pop-ups. Clear your cache. Do not contact numbers in tech support scams. Be selective with your downloads. Look at the extensions for files you're considering opening. Scan your downloaded files. Don't open anything you don't trust completely. Read the license agreement. Don't download attachments from a source you don't know. Don't download attachments from a source you do know unless you were expecting it. Disable image previews. Beware of odd emails from companies you do business with. Be careful with USB drives. Be wary about remote access.

Before any thing else, if you plan on getting up close and personal with espresso machines, makers or espresso beverages as a lifelong hobby, you'll need to know the terms that go with them. There are many terms associated with coffee making and drinking but here are a few that every espresso aficionado should be aware of:  BAR: This is the pressure rating that you'll find on most espresso machines. Barista: This is the person responsible for operating the espresso/coffee machine. It's Italian in origin. Breve: When someone asks for a breve, it's simply using steamed half and half or skimmed milk rather than regular milk. Coffee Pack: This refers to the tamped volume of coffee grinds in a filter basket before the shot of espresso is brewed. Demitasse: This is the cup that holds a traditional shot of espresso, namely a 3-ounce (or smaller) cup. Although these can be made from any range of food grade materials, the porcelain type is the most preferred. They need to be thick to retain heat. Dosage: The dosage means the amount of ground coffee that makes up a shot of espresso. It is usually measured as 7 grams per 1.5 ounce single espresso shots. Double: This is one option for ordering an espresso or the pour of the espresso. This is usually between 2.5 and 3 ounces of espresso total volume. Espresso: Another Italian word for the drink made using a pump or lever espresso machine, from 7 grams (+/- 2 grams) of finely ground coffee, producing 1-1.5 ounces (30-45ml) of extracted beverage under 9 bar (135psi) of brewing pressure at brewing temperatures of between 194ºF and 204ºF/90ºC-96ºC, over a period of 25 seconds (+/- 5 seconds and no less than 20 seconds) of brew time. The definitions may be hotly contested by many baristas, for espresso is a subjective pleasure. The age, quality, and origin of the coffee bean, the amount of grounds packed into the basket, the pressure with which the barista tamps, the water temperature, and many other factors all impact the end product. Filter basket: This is the metal, flat...

TL;DR in English:


Add a function that adds two numbers:   int add ( int x, int y );    This will create a function that adds two integers (x and y) and then returns the sum as an integer. You can use the outline to create a program that takes two integers that the user enters and then

Understand the basics of functions. Start with an outline. Add the function to a program.

If your best friend is in a romantic relationship, it may be hard to see them as much as you would like. Plus, when you do see them, they will likely be with their partner. If you feel like you could use a little one-on-one time, talk to your friend and set up a time to hang out, just the two of you. Try setting up a coffee or lunch date in advance, this will make it easier for both of you to commit to it. If you find that you are spending a lot of time with a couple, get to know your friend’s partner. You may find that you really enjoy their company as well. At the least, getting to know your friend’s partner will help you feel more comfortable around them and make spending time with them a little more enjoyable. If appropriate, try hanging out with just your friend’s partner. You might develop a friendship on your own. Your friend’s relationship might be a great time to do your own thing. Instead of doing things with your friend and their partner, do stuff on your own. Indulge some of your hobbies or try out new things.  Take some classes on your own, like cooking or karate. If you feel emotionally comfortable with the concept, you could also try online dating. The easiest way to handle being a third wheel is to spend less time with the couple. You do not need to do everything with your friend and their partner, and they would probably appreciate a little more space. Try to call or text them less, and be less insistent about hanging out. Put the ball in your friend’s court and let them initiate friend time.  This is particularly important early on when your friend is figuring out the new dynamics of their relationship. Give them some space and let them get their bearings. If the couple tries to include you more than you want, politely decline. You don't have to accept every invitation they extend, but you should also not be rude enough that you damage your friendships when you turn down an invite. Let your friend know that you are there for them and that you have their best interests at heart. This will...

TL;DR in English: Arrange times to hang out with your friend. Get to know your friend’s partner. Be more independent. Give the couple space. Be supportive. Find your own partner.

If you have acrobatics in your routine, this is the time to use them. Stretch, work on cardio and warm up your stunts beforehand, but don't practice too much - you may hurt yourself before the division even starts.  There are often breaks between divisions, you may want to repeat this before each division. Be sure to practice blocking and scoring combinations at your dojo or on a punching bag beforehand. If you keep dropping your weapon or can't land stunts, don't let that make you nervous. Simply look for openings, block their combos, and do what you were trained to do.

TL;DR in English: Warm up. Don't let your opponent intimidate you.

If you are making a single mint julep, don’t pour any more ice into the cup. If you created a batch, fill squat cocktail glasses or traditional silver mint julep cups halfway to three-quarters full with ice. If you have made a batch of mint julep, take the refrigerated pitcher of the mint julep mixture out of the fridge, and pour the drink over the ice until it is almost full. If you want your drink really cold and are using a silver cup, wait until frost forms on the cup before pouring in the mint julep. Place a sprig of mint, or a few mint leaves, in the glass of mint julep. This adds flavor and also makes the drink more aromatic when you are sipping it. After garnishing with mint, sprinkle a pinch of powdered sugar on top of the ice if you wish. The powdered sugar adds a bit more sweetness. Stick a short straw into the drink and serve immediately. If you let the drink sit, the ice will melt and dilute the flavor. The mint julep should taste sweet, minty, and very refreshing!

TL;DR in English: Pour ice into a glass. Pour in the mint julep mixture. Garnish with mint. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the ice. Serve with a short straw.

Functions are self-contained blocks of code that can be called upon by other parts of the program. They make it very easy to repeat code, and they help make the program simpler to read and change. Functions can include all of the previously-covered techniques learned in this article, and even other functions.       The main() line at the beginning of all of the above examples is a function, as is getchar()  Functions are essential to efficient and easy-to-read code. Make good use of functions to streamline your program. Functions are best created when you outline what you want it to accomplish before you begin the actual coding. The basic syntax for functions is "return_type name ( argument1, argument2, etc.);". For example, to create a function that adds two numbers:   int add ( int x, int y );    This will create a function that adds two integers (x and y) and then returns the sum as an integer. You can use the outline to create a program that takes two integers that the user enters and then adds them together. The program will define how the "add" function works and use it to manipulate the input numbers.   #include <stdio.h>  int add ( int x, int y );  int main() {   int x;   int y;    printf( "Enter two numbers to add together: " );   scanf( "%d", &x );   scanf( "%d", &y );   printf( "The sum of your numbers is %d\n" , add( x, y ) );   getchar(); }  int add ( int x , int y ) {   return x + y; }    Note that the outline is still located at the top of the program. This tells the compiler what to expect when the function is called and what it will return. This is only necessary if you want to define the function later in the program. You could define add() before the main() function and the result would be the same without the outline. The actual functionality of the function is defined at the bottom of the program. The main() function collects the integers from the user and then sends them to the add() function to be processed. The add() function then returns the results to main()  Now the add() has been...

Get your immunizations up-to-date before conceiving. Quit smoking. Stay away from all illicit drugs. Steer clear of hot tubs, saunas, or steam rooms. Avoid environmental toxins.

It’s important to distinguish between these two terms and to use them properly in your assessment.  A hazard is anything that may cause harm. For example: chemicals, electricity, working from heights like a ladder, or an open drawer.  A risk is the chance that these hazards could cause harm to others. For example: a chemical burn or an electric shock, a fall from heights, or an injury from hitting an open drawer. Think about any hazards you notice as you walk around. Ask yourself, what activities, processes, or substances could injure your employees or harm their health?  Look at any objects, office furniture or pieces of machinery that could be hazards. Examine any substances in the workplace, from chemicals to hot coffee. Think about how these substances could injury your employees. If you work in an office, look for any long wires in walkways or under desks, as well as any broken drawers, cupboards, or counter tops. Examine the chairs at your employees' workstations, the windows, and the doors. Look for any hazards in the common areas, such as a faulty microwave or an uncovered section on the coffee machine. If you work in a big box store or a warehouse, look for any machinery that could be hazards. Note any spare materials, like hangers or safety clips, that could spill or land on an employee. Look for any hazards in the aisles of the store, like narrow shelving or cracked sections of the floors. Your employees will be able to help you identify any hazards they encounter on the job. Send out an email or have an in person discussion asking for feedback on any possible hazards in the workplace. Ask specifically about hazards that your employees think could result in significant harm, such as slips and trips, fire hazards, and falling from heights. They can help to explain the hazards and put them in perspective in terms of how the equipment was made to be used and how misuse can lead to hazards. The manufacturer's instructions will likely be on the labels of any equipment or substances. You can also check...

TL;DR in English: Understand the definition of a “hazard” and of a “risk” to the workplace. Walk around your workplace. Ask your employees about any possible hazards. Check the manufacturer’s instructions or data sheets for any equipment or substances. Look at any accident and ill-health records for the workplace. Think about any possible long term hazards. Visit a government health and safety guidelines website.

Mandarin Chinese is a tonal language, which means that different tones can change the meaning of a word, even if the pronunciation and spelling are otherwise the same. It is essential to learn the different tones if you wish to speak Mandarin Chinese correctly. Mandarin Chinese has four main tones, as follows:  The first tone is a high, flat tone. Your voice stays flat, with no rise or dip in the way it sounds. Using the word "ma" as an example, the first tone is indicated using the symbol above the letter a: "mā". The second tone is a rising tone. Your voice rises from a low to middle pitch, as if you were asking someone to repeat something by saying "huh?" or "what?" The second tone is indicated using the symbol "má". The third tone is a dipping tone.The pitch goes from middle to low to high, like when you say the letter "B". When two third tone syllables are near each other, the second one retains its third tone sound while the first takes the sound of the second tone. The third tone is indicated using the symbol "mǎ". The fourth tone is a lowering tone. The pitch goes rapidly from high to low, as if giving a command e.g. stop!  Or as if you're reading a book and have come across something new and interesting and are saying "huh". The fourth tone is indicated using the symbol "mà". Easy enough? If not, don't fret. It's definitely recommended to hear the tones demonstrated by a native speaker, since it's hard to get an idea of what they sound like purely through text. No matter what language you're learning, the more words you have at your disposal, the sooner you will become fluent. Therefore, the next thing to do is to memorize some useful Chinese vocabulary.  Some good vocabulary lists to start with includes: times of day (morning: zǎo shàng, afternoon: xià wǔ, evening: wǎn shàng) body parts (head: tóu, feet: jiǎo, hands: shǒu) food (beef: niú ròu, chicken: jī, egg: jī dàn, noodles: miàn tiáo) along with colors, days, months, transport words, weather, etc. When you hear a word in English, think about how...

TL;DR in English: Practice using the four Mandarin tones. Memorize simple vocabulary. Learn how to count. Learn some basic conversational phrases.

Although you should respect his opinions, you also want to show him that you have a mind of your own. A difference of opinion can often result in an absorbing discussion instead of an argument. What man wouldn't go crazy for a woman who can turn a disagreement into great conversation?  Relax your facial expression to let him know you're not getting worked up about any differences of opinion. Be able to laugh about how far apart you might be on an issue. If you're lucky, you might have found someone who's actually on the same page as you. In that case, celebrate! Your youth is one of your biggest assets when flirting with an older man. Use it to your advantage! When you get ready to go out at night, wear fashion styles that set you apart from older women. Of course, you shouldn't dress like a teenager. You don't want him thinking about you dragging him to One Direction concerts! Wear clothes that look good on a woman in her mid twenties or thirties, but might look a little strange on a woman in her forties. To older men, the most attractive thing about young women is that they're already at the ideal age. You don't have to try to look older or younger. You're already in the sweet spot! He sees you, and he can already tell you're a younger woman. You don't have to play up your youth to get his attention in conversation. Own your age, but don't make it the central focus of the conversation. Highlighting it repeatedly (“That's my dad's favorite song!”) might make the conversation grow tiresome for him. He might also start thinking of you as a pretty face without substance. Instead of spending your time talking about how young you are, focus instead on how mature you are for your age. It might seem like you don't have enough in common with him to hold his interest. For example, he may bring up children, mortgages, 70s music, or any number of other things you have no experience with. Don't fake your way through the conversation, pretending you understand what parenthood is like. He'll see right through it.  Make...

TL;DR in English: Engage him in conversation. Dress your age. Don't focus on your youth. Don't hide your youth, either. Be yourself. Make eye contact. Touch your hair and neck. Be aware of your body language.

If possible, you should see your healthcare provider to get any necessary immunizations before you become pregnant. Make sure your current healthcare provider has access to all your medical records so they can determine if you need any immunizations. If you do, get them as soon as possible. The MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and TDaP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) immunizations should be given before you become pregnant. You can get a flu vaccine while you are pregnant. Speak to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns regarding immunizations. It’s generally recommended that smoking of any sort be avoided, as it is very damaging to the lungs. This is especially true for pregnant women, because whatever you smoke, your baby smokes as well. Nicotine and tobacco in the blood stream is absorbed by the child, increasing the likelihood of stillbirth, miscarriage, and a low birth weight. Cut out all smoking, including cigarettes, e-cigs, cigars, and marijuana.  Some studies have also shown that babies whose mothers’ smoked while pregnant grow up to be chronic smokers themselves. You should also avoid secondhand smoke. Drugs of any sort - particularly ‘street’ drugs - are incredibly dangerous for a developing child. Recreational drugs almost guarantee your child will suffer from a birth defect or complication, because they have such a significant impact on your body and brain function, and therefore your child’s. Mothers who are addicted to drugs and continue to use them while pregnant can actually pass on their addiction to their child. The newborn baby is then addicted to drugs, and suffers withdrawal symptoms just like an adult does.  If you’re a user of recreational drugs or are addicted, check into a rehab program. Ask your doctor for help finding a spot if you are having trouble. Maintain a drug free lifestyle beyond the birth of your child for your own health. Raising your body temperature too high can be dangerous for your offspring, as high body temperature is correlated to developmental...
