Read the labels on cans of paint carefully to see how much they cover. Get roughly 1 US gal (3.8 L) for every 400 sq ft (37 m2) if your walls are smooth. Buy approximately 1 US gal (3.8 L) for every 250 sq ft (23 m2) if your walls are rough. Get twice as much paint if you’re covering a color or adding 2 coats.

You will need a go-kart frame that is capable of housing the size and weight of your engine. Most 5 to 7 horsepower engines will fit a standard size kart. The vertical shaft engine you choose can be from a riding mower or a push mower, either will work for your go-kart. Larger engines in the 13 to 22 horsepower range, which you can find on riding mowers, may destroy the transmission or kart. You will want one that can support both your vertical shaft engine and lawnmower gearbox comfortably. Your gearbox should will need to have non-trans axle set-up. This will give you a better sense of the dimensions that will be comfortable for your frame. Most frames have a width that varies between 1/3 and 2/3's the wheelbase of your go-kart, with wider models giving better stability.

TL;DR in English: Measure the size of your engine. Pick a suitable go-kart frame. Draw out a true to size basic design of your frame with chalk.

This device is similar to an apple peeler. You insert the vegetable and turn a crank to force it through the blade in a spiral motion.  Spiral shredders come in a few different types. In some cases, you place the vegetable inside a small container. While others ask you to insert the vegetable into a horizontal platform. Read the directions carefully before using the slicer. This machine works best with long, straight vegetables. Each squash should be at least one inch in diameter. Don’t cut the zucchini in half vertically. The slicer will leave a small core that includes the mature seeds. Place the lid or crank on the machine. You will feel when the crank stops giving you resistance. A small vegetable core will remain.

TL;DR in English: Order a spiral vegetable slicer. Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Insert the squash into the machine, right in front of the blade. Turn the crank to cut the vegetable in a spiral motion. Remove the spiral shreds from the machine or the other side of the spiral shredder.

Receiving a bad grade isn’t the end of the world. Don’t think one bad grade represents your overall worth as a student. The very fact that you are concerned shows that you are motivated and have high expectations for yourself.  Avoid punishing yourself for receiving a bad grade. Try to learn from your mistakes and strive to do better in the future. Remember that a “C” is usually considered average, a “B” above average, and an “A” exemplary. Putting it into perspective, maybe your grade isn’t as bad as you thought. You may feel anxious, frustrated, or even confused. It’s okay to be upset. Let it out. Suppressing your emotions will only make you feel worse down the line. Venting to a friend, family member, or classmate can help you cope with the bad grade and move on. Dwelling on it further while in a heightened emotional state will just make the problem seem worse than it is. Try to do something that takes your mind off of it. Exercising, talking with friends, listening to music, or doing fun things you enjoy are all healthy ways to relieve anxiety.

TL;DR in English: Don’t be too hard on yourself. Take some time to process your reaction. Put some distance between you and the grade for a while.

Many cans of paint list the number of square feet or meters that they cover on the label. This is mainly because certain styles of paint cover walls differently. If the paint can lists the number of square feet or meters that it covers, use that measurement to determine how many cans to buy instead of estimating. For example, if a 1 gallon (3.8 L) can reads that it covers 350 square feet (33 m2), and your wall is 10,000 square feet (930 m2), divide 10,000 square feet (930 m2) by 350 square feet (33 m2) to determine how many gallons (or liters) you need. If you have a new or refurbished home with smooth walls, your paint won’t have a hard time covering your drywall. Buy approximately 1 gallon (3.8 L) of paint for every 400 square feet (37 m2) that you’re going to paint.  This is a rough estimate. The texture of your walls, brand of paint, and the temperature of your room will all change the amount of paint you need to cover a wall. For example, if your sum total is 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) and your walls are even, divide 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) by 400 square feet (37 m2) to get 10.66 gallons (40.4 L). Always round up when you have a decimal or fraction at the end of your measurement for the paint. If you need more than 4 gallons (15 L), buy in 5 US gal (19 L) increments. Paint suppliers typically offer a discount for buying 5 US gal (19 L) containers instead of smaller 1 gallon (3.8 L) cans. If you’re painting exposed brick, stucco, or older drywall, your paint is going to have a rougher time soaking into the texture of your walls. Buy roughly 1 gallon (3.8 L) for every 250 square feet (23 m2) to play it safe. For example, if your sum total is 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) and your walls are kind of old, divide 4,265 square feet (396.2 m2) by 250 square feet (23 m2) to get 17.06 gallons (64.6 L). If you’re going to be painting some red or green walls white, you’re going to need a lot more paint to cover your walls. If you plan on painting multiple coats, double the square footage that you calculated...

Pour 1 to 2 cups (237 to 473 ml) of almond milk into a glass jar. Add 1 of the following ingredients to your jar before sealing it. Cover the milk jars so that they are airtight. Place them in the refrigerator for 1 day.

While they may not be able to figure out what the problem is, your hazard lights will tell other drivers to proceed with caution and pay  attention to what your vehicle is doing. Your hazard light button should be somewhere on your dashboard, and the symbol for them is an orange triangle inside an orange triangle. Lifting off the gas will begin to slow the car down, just by virtue of friction and gravity. Also, your cruise control system should turn off as soon as you touch the brake or clutch, but to be safe, make sure to switch it off manually. If you're driving a manual, press the clutch and downshift into the next gear down. This will begin to slow the car. Keep shifting down as you feel the car slow down. If you're in an automatic, use the gear selector to shift to second. Then, shift to first (also sometimes marked as "L" or "lower").  While you may be feeling panicked, you don't need to downshift all at once. Let the car slow down naturally if you're not in danger of hitting something. Most automatics have a second and first gear on the gear selector. If you have tap-to-shift, shift into manual "M" (generally to the right or left of "Drive" on console-shift vehicles or the bottom gear on column-shift vehicles) and press the minus button to shift down. Again, if you can’t go directly into the lowest range, try gradually shifting down. Look for a place to get off the road. You want to cause as little damage as possible to you and other vehicles, so get away from the main thoroughfare if possible. If you're on the freeway, get off it if you can. If you can't get off the freeway, use the shoulder. When your brakes fail, often they will only partially fail. You may still have some brakes in place, and pumping the brakes may be enough to slow you to a complete stop. After pumping a few times, press the brakes all the way to the floor to see if you have any pressure left. Pump quickly to build up friction. If you still aren't stopped, pull up on the emergency brake. That's usually the large lever that's next...

TL;DR in English: Turn your hazard lights on to warn other drivers. Take your foot off the gas and/or turn off the cruise control. Shift into a lower gear. Pull over to the side of the road. Pump the brakes to try to stop. Try the emergency (parking) brake at lower speeds.

Make an honest assessment of your marijuana use by asking questions about how much and often you need to use the drug. These questions can help you to more easily make the decision to quit using the drug.  Being doubtful about your habit could make it difficult to quit, even if you know it’s the best decision for you.  It is easy to downplay or underestimate your own level of dependence on marijuana. Ask a friend or family member for an independent opinion of your use.  Surrounding yourself with a different group of people may help you realize the extent of your use. If you’ve decided to quit using marijuana, you may feel confused about the most effective way to do this. Schedule an appointment with your doctor or another medical professional to talk about your decision to quit marijuana and your options for treatment.  Medical professionals who can help you include your primary care physician, a physician who specializes in drug addiction, a licensed drug and alcohol counselor, as well as a psychiatrist or psychologist.  Your primary care physician may refer to an internist or other doctor that specializes in drug addiction. You may additionally want to see a mental health professional to help you cope with the emotional aspects of quitting.  Be completely honest with your doctor(s) about your drug use. This can help her formulate the most effective treatment plan for you.  Take a list of any medications, vitamins, supplements or other illegal drugs that you are taking. Remember, your doctor is there to help you, so honesty is important.  Ask your doctor about different treatment options and educating yourself about marijuana use.  Expect your doctor to ask specific questions about your use, prior attempts to quit, withdrawal and your support system. You and your doctor can formulate a treatment plan that best suits you. Make sure to choose an option or options with which you feel most comfortable. Some of the different types of treatment include:  Chemical dependence treatment programs. These usually offer...

TL;DR in English: Make the decision to quit. See a medical professional. Formulate a treatment plan. Lean on your family and friends for help. Limit exposure to temptations. Avoid high-risk situations. Explore different activities. Commit to your treatment plan. Recognize and control the symptoms of withdrawal. Seek help if you relapse.

Glass canning jars work well for this purpose. Fill the container to the top to minimize the amount of oxygen in the container. Break up 3 cinnamon sticks and immerse them in the milk. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of fresh mint by rolling it between your fingers. Place it in the milk and stir it. Bruise 1/4 cup (67 g) of rose petals by rolling them between your fingers. Place them directly in the milk and stir them. Scrape the seeds from 1 vanilla bean into the milk. Stir them well.  Remove them and remove the plant or spice particles by pouring the milk through a metal strainer. Scented almond milk will have a mild flavor of the plant or spice. The act of breathing in the scent can make the taste of the milk more pleasing. These milks are great to use on desserts, granola or in smoothies and shakes. You can also add honey or agave syrup to create a sweeter flavor in your scented milk.

Apply to take the exam. Schedule your exam time and place. Know the protocol for the exam. Take the Virginia Real Estate Exam.

Since crushed ice is already broken down (and a little easier to blend) than cubed ice, it’s going to create a creamier consistency. If you don’t have crushed ice, use a food processor to crush up the ice into bean-sized chunks beforehand. Cover the blender with a lid and blend the ingredients until it’s close to the consistency of a milkshake. If you see large clumps of ice (bigger than the size of a pea), keep blending until they’re not noticeable.  How long you need to blend it depends on the power of your blender, so check it every 30 to 45 seconds if you’re not sure. If the mixture has the consistency of thin milk, add nonfat dry milk powder about 2 tablespoons (6.0  tsp) at a time until you have a thicker, creamy consistency. Place the container as far back into the freezer as possible to speed up the process. You can even wedge it between other frozen items to make it go even faster. You can take it out sooner if you’re ready to eat it, but note that some parts may be less solidified than others. If you like your ice cream super soft, take it out at the 2 hour mark. Add fresh cherries, sliced bananas, granola (or crushed graham crackers/waffle cones), and chocolate syrup to make a sundae.  Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (3.0  tsp) of coconut flakes over the top with a few small chunks of fresh mango for a tropical-tasting treat. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to a week. Wrap the top with saran wrap (before putting on the lid) to keep the top from frosting over!

TL;DR in English: Place 2 cups (470 mL) of crushed ice into your blender. Blend the mixture for at least 1 minute or until it’s smooth. Put it in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours. Spoon the ice cream into serving bowls and add your favorite toppings.

Check the physician’s orders, MAR, and the Parenteral Drug Therapy Manual (PDTM) to identify the correct medication to be administered. Then prepare the medication by sticking the syringe into the appropriate vial. Make sure to fill the syringe with an appropriate amount of medication. The dosage of an intradermal injection is typically below 0.5 ml. Place non-sterile gloves, a syringe, alcohol swabs, and gauze on a tray. Place the tray near your workstation.  Make sure the needle you are using is a 3⁄8 to 3⁄4 inch (1.0 to 1.9 cm), 26 to 28 gauge needle. Non-sterile, medical gloves are typically used for medical procedures that are non-surgical. Introduce yourself to the patient. To reduce the patient’s anxiety about the procedure, explain to the patient why the procedure is being done and what it will entail. Also, allow the patient to express any concerns and to ask questions before you begin. To avoid any kind of contamination, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Lather your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds and rinse with warm water. Before turning off the water, dry your hands with paper towels and use the paper towels to turn off the faucet. Once your hands are dry, put on your medical gloves to prepare for the procedure. Intradermal injections are usually given on the inner surface of the forearm. Choose an injection site that is free of hair, moles, rashes, scars, and other skin lesions. Intradermal injections can also be administered on the patient’s thigh or the back of their upper arm. Ask the patient where they prefer you to administer the medication. Ensure you have the correct medication and dosage. You should also double-check the patient’s name to be sure you are administering the correct medication to the correct person. Ensure the patient knows what you are administering. You could say “the doctor ordered ‘xyz medication.’ Is this what you were expecting?”

TL;DR in English: Prepare the medication. Gather your supplies. Explain the procedure to the patient. Wash your hands and put on gloves. Choose the injection site. Double check the medication and patient.

Have your supplies on hand before you start on this experiment. You will need:  Plastic bottle with a cap: A large soda bottle is ideal for this experiment. Make sure to remove the label from the plastic bottle. Then you will be able to see the clouds when they form inside the bottle. It is also best to choose a clear bottle. Matches Water Use hot water from the tap. Pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the bottle, or about 1 inch (2.5 cm).  Don’t use boiling water in a plastic bottle. The plastic might warp and the experiment won’t work. The water should be hot, though. Try for about 130 °F (54 °C). Swirl around the water a bit to warm up the sides of the bottle. Blow it out after a few full seconds. Make sure an adult is around you while you are doing this step. Tilt the bottle with one hand and insert the head of the match into the top of the bottle. Let the smoke from the match fill the bottle. , where it will seem to disappear. Discard the match. Grip the neck of the bottle so that you do not squeeze the sides before the cap is screwed in completely. This prevents any smoke or air from escaping. Do this three or four times.  Wait a few seconds then squeeze the bottle again, this time holding the squeeze longer before releasing. You should see your very own cloud there!   Putting pressure on the bottle's sides forces the water particles to compress.  When you let go of the sides of the bottle, the air expands, decreasing the temperature. When the air cools, the particles can stick together a little more easily, which causes them to clump into little tiny droplets around the smoke molecules.   This mimics the process of clouds forming in the sky.  Clouds in the sky are made up of water droplets that have clung to tiny particles of dust, smoke, ash, or salt.

TL;DR in English: Assemble your supplies. Pour hot water into the bottle. Strike a match. Toss the burned match into the bottle. Screw the cap onto the bottle. Squeeze the sides of the bottle hard. Look at the formation of fog in the bottle.

Before you can enroll in a state certified PSI exam, you must be approved by the Real Estate Board. You will be required to fill out an application to assure the course work you took was DPOR approved and pay a small application fee, usually in the range of $50 to $60.  There is no application deadline to take the exam in Virginia, as exams are administered daily. The processing time for your application is around two weeks. Once your application is approved, you can take the real estate exam. In Virginia, PSI exams are administered on a daily basis at a variety of locations. Phone the PSI center, open 24 hours, at 1-800-733-9267. The PSI center will help you select a time and location that works for your schedule. The locations are:  Charlottesville Falls Church Richmond Roanoke Tyson's Corner Virginia Beach Johnson City, TN Salisbury, MD There are rules about what you can and cannot do during the real estate exam. Make sure you know these rules before going into the exam room.  You should arrive at the exam center at least 30 minute early. This extra time is used for sign in and identification.

Make sure that you put the gloves on before you begin mixing any bleach. Bleach can be very damaging to skin and fabrics, so the towel will protect you and your clothes from any bleach that drips from your hair  Many bleach kits will come with the gloves for you to use, but your own plastic or latex gloves are also fine. A hairdressing cape will also work well instead of an old towel if you have access to one. The ratio of the bleach powder to the developer will be specified on the bleach kit box. Make sure that you use a non-metallic bowl. Place an old towel beneath the bowl to avoid the bleach damaging the surface. Remove this section from the plastic clip, and keep the rest of your hair clipped back. This section should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick if you have thin hair, or thinner if you have thick hair. Bleaching your hair in small sections will make sure that the bleach is applied thoroughly and evenly throughout. Make sure that the bleach covers the full length of your hair, but leave the roots uncovered since the bleach may irritate your scalp. Brush the bleach through in the same direction that your hair grows, starting at the top and ending at the tip. Work as quickly and carefully as possible, so that the first section doesn’t lighten too much before you have put the bleach into the last section. Apply bleach to this side too, brushing it through in exactly the same way. This will ensure that you don’t accidentally miss a spot. You can group this section together, and clip it back with a plastic clip again to keep it out of the way while you bleach the rest of your hair. Repeat the bleaching process through the rest of the first quarter, the other back quarter, and the two front quarters.  Remember to leave the roots unbleached for now. By the time you have finished the final front quarter, the first back quarter will be starting to lighten. After you have bleached all of the sections of your hair, you can also do the same to the 1 cm (0.4 in) of root hair. Bleach can make your scalp feel itchy...

TL;DR in English: Put on disposable gloves and drape an old towel over your shoulders. Mix together the bleach powder and the developer with the tint brush. Take a thin section of hair from one of the back quarters. Apply the bleach to this section using the tint brush. Flip the first section over to show the side that hasn’t been bleached. Continue applying bleach to thin sections until each quarter is complete. Apply bleach to your roots if you want them bleached too.

In most cases, you can sign up for a physical with the same institution offering the commercial diver certification you're seeking. Along with a head-to-toe examination, you'll also be tested on your swimming abilities and cardiovascular conditioning.  Having drugs, alcohol, or an infectious illness in your system can be enough to temporarily disqualify you from receiving a commercial diver certification. In this case, you'll need to retake the physical once you're clear of the offending substance. If you exhibit symptoms of asthma, claustrophobia, severe motion sickness, collapsed lung, cardiac arrhythmia, or congestive heart failure, you may be denied certification permanently.  It's recommended that you submit to a dive physical before going any further, even if the dive school you plan on attending doesn't require one. You may discover that you have some type of limitation that won't allow you to pursue a career as an underwater welder. Enroll in a commercial diving academy in your state or territory and work your way through their training program. The duration of these programs vary, but most are set up to be finished in 5-6 months, or around 900 training hours. Upon completing the program, you'll be receive a valid and industry-recognized commercial diver certification.  A few of the more notable commercial diving academies include the American National Standards Institute Association of Commercial Diving Educator (ANSI/ACDE), the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI), and Diver's Academy International. Some commercial diving academies make it mandatory for applicants to pass a written entrance exam and a dive physical before they're accepted into a specific program. This is where you'll bring your 2 newly-acquired skills, welding and commercial diving, together. The course content and length of underwater welding programs can vary greatly, but most consist of both traditional study and hands-on training in wet welding skills, and may range from 6 months to 2 years.  In addition to...

TL;DR in English: Take and pass a preliminary dive physical. Become a certified commercial diver. Attend an underwater welding school. Apply for a dive tender position to continue your training on the job. Continue improving your skills to advance in your field.

If the boyfriend is one of your close friends, then yeah, it's a very good idea to back off unless you want to ruin your friendship. But if you don't know who the boyfriend is and want to get a sense of her relationship with him, then you can try to slyly get a sense of her relationship and how serious it is without prying too much. Here's what you can say:  "What are you up to this weekend?" "How long have you been with your boyfriend?" "I had a girlfriend, but we broke up a few months ago. It was hard, but I feel much better about it now." Though you can't just come out and ask her if she's happy, you can get a sense about it just by talking. Basically, if she complains to you about her boyfriend all the time then that is a strong sign that her relationship is not looking so good. See if you can get an idea of how she's feeling just by making casual comments and seeing if she responds in the negative or affirmative. Basically, you don't want to try to get with a girl who is in a great, or a particularly long, relationship; you don't want to deal with the emotional baggage even if she does decide to end things.  Say, "It must be nice to live with your partner. What's that like?" Or say, "You've been together for two years? That's a pretty long time…" Before you step further, see if the girl even cares about you in a romantic way. Read the signs. Does she go out of her way to talk to you? Does she light up when you walk into the room? Does she make excuses to always be at your side? Does she even flirt a little bit? If so, then yeah, there's a good chance that she may have a crush on you. Here are some other ways you can see if this is the case:  Talk about other girls in front of her. Without being too obvious about it, see if she gets jealous. Give her a compliment or two. See if she gives one back later. If you want to get with the girl, then you can't turn into her best friend, the guy she can come to with all of her problems. Though talking to her about her boyfriend and relationship in the beginning can...

TL;DR in English: Talk to her about her boyfriend. See if she's happy in her current relationship. See if she's even interested in you. Don't get stuck in the Friend Zone. Know which girls are just not worth talking to.

In order to manage your embarrassment, you first need to own it and understand it. Embarrassment is the feeling of awkwardness or humiliation when we believe we are being negatively evaluated by another.  Learn why you get embarrassed about buying sexual items in order to fully grasp what may need to change (thoughts or behaviors) in order to reduce your embarrassment. Identify what thoughts result in you feeling embarrassed about buying personal or sex-related items. Is it because you are worried about what other people are thinking about you? Is it because you are afraid you will run into someone you know? Understanding the specific components that produce embarrassment or fear for you will be helpful in developing ways of coping with the situation. For example, most individuals who purchase condoms do so by going to a store. Only about 5% of people get them from a medical clinic, and even less (.4%) purchase them online. Additionally, one study showed that approximately 55% of men and about 69% of women found condom purchasing to be embarrassing. This means it is quite common to feel embarrassed when buying personal or sex-related items.  When you are worried about the situation, remember that most people who buy personal products such as condoms, go to a store to do it. If they can do it, so can you! When you are worrying about feeling embarrassed while buying a personal product, remind yourself that others feel similarly in your situation. Acceptance of your emotions is crucial to becoming motivated to better yourself and make positive changes, such as confidently buying personal items. Also, as previously stated, over half of shoppers report feeling embarrassed when buying items like condoms. Accept that embarrassment is a normal and natural emotion, especially when dealing with buying private items. When you are feeling embarrassed, think to yourself, “It is okay that I am feeling this way. Many people feel embarrassed in this very situation.” Studies suggest that the more comfortable and familiar you...

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the oil off your skin to keep your face hydrated without it looking greasy. Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the oil off your skin to keep your face hydrated without it looking greasy. When you're finished, pat the area dry with a clean towel.

Only use gentle cleaning techniques Consider using home remedies to cleanse your skin Use natural moisturizers Try an oil cleanse to clear out your pores.

Take a moment to focus on your breathing before initiating sex. Use that time to clear your head of any thoughts that might distract you or cause you additional anxiety. If you find it impossible to let go of the stresses from that day, try having sex on a less-stressful day instead. Trying and failing when you can't clear your mind will only cause further stress and anxiety. It may also help to meditate before having sex as meditation is known to alleviate anxiety. Some doctors and couples therapists recommend slowing down during foreplay to help ease into sex. Focus on touching/caressing your partner, and take your time during foreplay to get comfortable with one another and ensure that your partner's needs are met. This can help take some of the pressure off. Practice mindfulness during sex. Think about how each part of your body feels and how you are connected to your partner. You can enjoy sexual play without an orgasm. Try to enjoy the time you're spending with your partner and allow yourself to be happy in the moment, no matter what happens. Try to remove expectations. Taking away the expectations associated with sex can help alleviate some of the pressure you might be feeling. Enjoy every sensation you are having with your partner, and communicate throughout the experience with your partner. Communication can help alleviate a lot of anxiety and ensure both you and your partner are comfortable throughout the experience. Tell your partner when you like something while it's happening. Sex therapists will often advise a couple to abstain from intercourse until the affected partner can overcome his or her anxiety associated with performance. Even if you don't think you need a break from sex, it's important to allow yourself to simply not want sex from time to time. This can help take some of the pressure off of performance anxiety.

TL;DR in English: Practice deep breathing beforehand. Take your time. Focus on your partner. Communicate during sex. Take a break from intercourse for a while.

The right earrings can alter the overall appearance of your ears quite well, but the wrong ones will make them stand out even more. There are two approaches people use for large ears, so try them both and see which works for you:  Small lobe earrings detract attention from tall or stuck-out ear tips. Studs are a good choice, but small hoops or dangle earrings can work. Other people take the opposite approach and wear large lobe earrings, making the ears look relatively smaller. Like upper cartilage piercings, this tactic does make your ears into a focal point, but perhaps one you can be proud of. Not only do these draw attention to your eyes, a pair of sunglasses with large frames can partially hide your ears if you push them up to your forehead. While you might worry about your ears, chances are good that other people barely notice them, especially if you draw their attention elsewhere. Choose a top with a bright color or a vivid pattern, or wear a necklace. Wearing a little makeup will focus attention on your face. Try contouring using two shades of foundation. Start by contouring the outline of your face with foundation two or three shades darker than your skin, then use lighter foundation to highlight areas such as the center of your forehead and the bridge of your nose. Blend these together well along the border between them. You can even contour the outer edge of your ears in the same way, but this can be difficult to get right if you're not used to applying makeup. On days when you are feeling especially insecure, pin back your ears to the side of your head using double-sided tape. Use a tape intended for skin to avoid pulling out your hair, such as clothing fashion tape. This is a temporary measure for occasional use. The tape may come undone if you leave it on too long. There are many accessories that hide your ears altogether, including headbands, earmuffs, bandanas, scarves, turbans, hoods, or a hat large enough to tuck your ears into. A large pair of headphones will also work when you're engaged...

TL;DR in English: Experiment with earrings. Wear sunglasses. Distract with a flashy top or necklace. Contour your face with makeup. Use double-sided tape. Cover your ears completely.

A bunion is a chronically sprained and inflamed joint that forms when the big toe is constantly pushed towards the smaller toes, usually by wearing ill-fitting shoes or shoes that are too narrow (such as high heels). Flat feet also contribute to bunion formation, which can mimic rheumatoid or osteoarthritis because of the inflammation, redness and dull, achy pain involved. As bunions progress, the big toe becomes more crooked and generates more pain, which may lead to limping and other joint problems in the ankle or knee.  Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories (such as ibuprofen or naproxen) or analgesics (such as acetaminophen) can combat the swelling and pain caused by bunions. If the pain is severe, stronger medications may be prescribed by your family doctor or orthopod (such as COX-2 inhibitors or morphine-based drugs). Steroid injections directly into the joint can be effective for combating pain and inflammation. The vast majority of bunions occur in women who wear shoes that are too narrow. Changing to shoes that have a wider toe box and better arch support can certainly stop the progression and pain of a bunion, but it probably won't straighten the big toe back to its normal position. After giving up high-fashion shoes, if the bunion is still painful and limits activity, then surgery should be considered.  You should be able to wiggle your toes while your shoes are on. There should be at least 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of space between the tips of your big toes and the end of your shoes while standing up. Athletic shoes and walking sandals are generally good choices. Taping a plastic, wooden or metal splint around the affected toe might help reduce the pain and realign the joint, depending on how long you've had the bunion. Silicone or felt pads worn on the feet or as shoe inserts may also relieve bunion pain, but it depends on the degree of joint damage. Orthopods, podiatrists, physical therapists and chiropractors could all be of help with splints or shoe orthotics.  Arch supports and orthotics realign the...

TL;DR in English: Take care of the pain. Change your shoes. Get a splint. Consider bunion surgery.

. If you want to remove blackheads naturally, it's important to separate the astringent cleaners from the gentle cleaners to keep your skin as healthy as possible. It's likely you'll want to avoid harsh, alcohol-based cleaners, as well as chemical-based commercial cleansers. It's also important to be gentle with your skin as you wash. Don't pick at your blackheads, or scrub your skin vigorously. Only use gentle scrubbing, even if you're exfoliating. You don't need to dig at your skin to keep it clean. . Done properly and applied in the correct way, home remedies can be crafted using a wide variety of ingredients that are effective at tightening, soothing, and exfoliating your skin, making your skin more inhospitable to blackheads. . Using natural-based moisturizers is essential to healthy skin. While many associate oiliness with blackheads, it's true that using excessive products that dry out your skin will actually end up making your skin oilier in the long run. Remember to moisturize regularly with natural plant-based oils and moisturizers to keep your skin healthy. There are many types of oil you can use, such as olive, avocado, or almond oil. Pour 1–2 teaspoons (4.9–9.9 ml) of the oil into your hand and gently massage it into your skin for 1-2 minutes to remove dead skin, makeup, or dirt. Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the oil off your skin to keep your face hydrated without it looking greasy. When you’re finished, pat the area dry with a clean towel.Mix a few drops of essential oil into the oil if you want to make it scented.

Following a shower, your shower’s walls are covered in water, soap, and dirt particles. When left on the walls, soap scum is formed and mildew and molds grow. To prevent the build up of these items, squeegee your shower walls and door after each use. Run over the walls and corners with a clean, dry towel to soak up any remaining water. Leave the shower door ajar to allow the area to dry.   Maintaining this daily routine will make it easier to clean your travertine shower. To eliminate soap scum, switch from bar soap to liquid soap. While wiping down your shower walls after each use will dramatically decrease the presence of soap scum, mildew, and mold, trace amounts of these items will cover your shower walls. Clean your  shower every one to two weeks.  Spray the walls and shower door with a gentle cleaner. Allow the product to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Buff the travertine stone, glass, and metal fixtures with a clean microfiber cloth. Eradicate mineral build-up with a stone scrub, an abrasive cleaner that should be used with caution on polished surfaces. Spray the treated area with a gentle cleaner and blot with a microfiber cloth. Constant exposure to water can damage travertine tiles, ruin grout, and encourage the production of soap scum, mildew, and mold. To maintain a clean, structurally sound shower, conduct a deep clean and an assessment every six months.  Treat your walls with a soap film remover to remove soap scum build up. Allow the product to sit for a few minutes before polishing it off with a microfiber rag. Target mildew and mold in your shower with a mild mildew remover. After allowing product to sit for a few minutes, remove the residue with a clean microfiber rag. Examine your grout and search for cracks and holes. If you discover any missing grout, repair it immediately—cracks and holes in the grout may lead to extensive water damage. Allow the repaired grout to cure for 7 to 10 days. Observe the tiles for discoloration. If you spot a dark tile that was once light, this is a sign of water...

International Chemical Safety Cards provide succinct, detailed safety information. Search for the exact name of the acid you will be using, such as "hydrochloric acid," in the online database. Some acids may require additional safety precautions, besides those described below.  Sometimes several cards are issued, depending on the concentration and additions to the acid. Pick the one that most closely matches your initial acid solution. If you prefer to read them in another language, select one here. Splash safety goggles that cover all sides of the eyes are required when handling acid. Protect your skin and clothing by wearing gloves and a lab coat or apron.  Tie up long hair before handling the acid. Acid can take several hours to burn holes through clothing. Even if you do not notice a spill, a few drops can damage your clothing if it is not underneath a lab coat. Whenever possible, keep the acid solution in a functioning fume hood while you are working. This limits exposure to gaseous vapors produced by the acid, which can be corrosive or poisonous. If a fume hood is not available, open all windows and doors, or turn on a fan to ventilate the area. If acid gets on your eyes or skin, you'll need to flush it with cool, running water for 15–20 minutes. Don't start the dilution until you know where to find the nearest functioning eye wash station or sink. When washing your eyes, keep your eyelids wide open. Rotate your eyes by looking up, right, down, and left to make sure all sides of your eyeball are rinsed. You can purchase an acid spill kit that contains all the necessary materials, or acquire neutralizers and absorbers separately. The process described here can be used for hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, or phosphoric acid, but other acids may require further research to dispose of properly:  Ventilate the area by opening windows and doors, and turning on fume hoods and fans. Apply a weak base such as sodium carbonate (soda ash), sodium bicarbonate, or calcium carbonate to the outer edges of the spill,...

TL;DR in English: Read the relevant Chemical Safety Cards online. Wear splash goggles, gloves, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood or ventilated area. Know where running water is located. Have a spill plan ready, specific to your acid.

Cards may seem like something only a person would enjoy. However, if you make an interactive card a cat can play with, your cat may love receiving a card. Many cats enjoy puzzle games, so a card with a small toy or treat hidden inside could be fun for a more playful cat.  You can make a card at home with construction paper. Add decorations your cat can play with, like dangly ribbons and strings. Just make sure not to include anything your cat could potentially swallow. Tape a toy or treat inside the card for your cat to find. A toy scented with catnip can be particularly fun, if your cat tends to enjoy catnip. If you're having guests over, decorations can be fun. However, try to include things your cat can enjoy. You can decorate with things like dangly strings and puffballs, and keep them hanging low enough for your cat to tear off the wall. Make sure any interactive decorations are cat-friendly. Some strings and smaller items could be swallowed and potentially cause damage. Stick to toys and items your cat has played with safely before. A homemade toy can be a fun, inexpensive way to show your cat you care. You can set up a temporary fort made with pillows and blankets for your cat to play in on its birthday. You can also sew a toy using scraps of felt and stuffing. You can make something super simple by balling up a piece of tinfoil. Your cat will love chasing this new toy. You can also stop by a local supermarket or pet store and purchase some toys for your cat. Try to find a variety of fun, new toys your cat will enjoy.  Think about toys your cat has loved in the past. If your cat loves puzzle games, this can be a nice option. This can be particularly nice if you're gone a lot during the day. A puzzle game can keep your cat from getting bored without you. You can also encourage guests to bring over new toys, if they feel like doing so. You do not want to pressure anyone into giving a gift, but some guests may want to offer your cat a treat.

TL;DR in English: Make a cat-friendly birthday card. Build decorations you cat can enjoy. Provide some new homemade toys. Give your cat some new toys.

The longer your hair is, the heavier it will be, which explains why long hair often lacks volume. Therefore, one of the fastest ways to add volume is to get a haircut. Some well-placed, expertly cut layers, or even a blunt-ended cut can immediately make hair lighter and fuller -- not to mention healthier looking.  Go to a hair stylist who you trust and who listens to exactly what you're asking for. A good, professional haircut will give more life to your hair than any product or styling method. Bring photos of your desired style so that you can show the stylist exactly what you want. For best results, look for photos of people who have a similar face shape and hair texture as yours. Well-placed highlights and lowlights can give the impression of depth and thickness to your hair, making it appear more voluminous than it actually is. Dark colors will also make your hair look thicker than lighter ones, so consider going a shade or two darker to give the illusion of volume. A professional color job or set of highlights will do much more for your hair than a home dye kit. This is due to the fact that trained hairdressers can mix different shades and tones to find a color that's just right for you, giving your hair an added dimension that just cannot be achieved out of a box. Hot rollers are an excellent way to add bounciness and volume to your hair, with a touch of pin-up girl glamour. If you're not looking for tight curls, don't worry -- bigger rollers will add volume and life, but won't give a huge amount of curl to hair. When using, make sure the rollers are heated to the correct temperature before putting them in.  Use the hot rollers on day old hair, if possible. Comb out any tangles to create a smooth base. Start with the front sections, rolling the the hair away from the face rather than underneath. Once all of the rollers are in, let them sit in the hair for 10 to 15 minutes or until they have cooled completely. Liberally apply hairspray all over your head before removing the rollers. Once out, use your...

Rinse 1 cup (225 g) of rice in a strainer with cool water. Turn the rice cooker on and let it cook until it turns off. Leave the rice in the rice cooker, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.

If you want to know the date, use the phrase "¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?" (coo-AHL ess lah FAY-chah day oy). This question means "What is today's date?" While there are other ways to ask for the same information, this is the most common. The day of the week can be just as important as the specific date, especially when planning future events. If you learn how to say the date in Spanish, it's also a good idea to know how to say the days of the week in case you're asked.  Sunday is domingo (doh-MEEN-goh). Monday is lunes (LOO-nays). Tuesday is martes (MAR-tays). Wednesday is miércoles (mee-AIR-coh-lays). Thursday is jueves (hoo-AY-bays). Friday is viernes (bee-AIR-nays). Saturday is sábado (SAH-bah-doh). In Spanish, unlike in English, the definite article el (meaning "the") is always used before a date or a word for the day of the week. While you may hear the plural los used, the word el when used with a date or day of the week can be considered singular or plural. For example, if someone asked you in Spanish what your favorite day of the week was, you could reply "el viernes" or "los viernes." This response could be translated either as "Friday" or "Fridays." If you want to know what day of the week it is, you'll usually ask "¿Qué día es hoy?" (kay DEE-ah ess oy). Be careful with this question, though, because it is sometimes interpreted as asking for the date. You can also drop the hoy from the end and simply ask "¿Qué día es?" The verb hacer means "to do" or "to make" in Spanish, but when it is accompanied by "que," it can be used as a time expression. One of the primary uses of this verb in Spanish is talking about actions that happened in the past.   Hacer + length of time + que (KAY) + the past tense conjugation of the verb describes an action that occurred at a particular point in time in the past. For example, you might say "Hace tres años que empecé a trabajar aquí" to mean "I started working here three years ago." To talk about a past action that continues into the present, use hacer with the present...

TL;DR in English: Ask what the date is. Learn the days of the week. Use el when talking about days or dates. Ask what day of the week it is. Use the verb hacer (HAH-say) in common time expressions. Include the word desde for "since. Learn other words to reference time.

You can click and drag to select specific sections of text, or press Ctrl+A (PC) or ⌘ Cmd+A (Mac) to select all of the text on a document or page. You can only cut text from documents that you can edit. This means that you can’t cut from webpages or PDF files, because you can’t remove the text from the original. If you want to cut a file on your computer to move around, simply click on it to select it. You can click and drag a selection box around multiple files to select all of them.  Hold the Ctrl (⌘ Cmd) key and click individual files to select multiple files that aren't located next to each other. To select a range of files, click the first one, then hold ⇧ Shift and click the last one. All of the files in between will be selected. You cannot cut files from a read-only location, such as a CD/DVD or a protected drive.

Plain, white fabric will work the best for this. Dye is translucent, so the original color of the fabric will show through the dye. Fabric made from natural fibers will work the best. This method will create a simple band of color across the bottom of your fabric. How thick this band is depends on how deep you dip the fabric into the dye. Use a temperature setting suitable for the fabric you are using, and omit the fabric softener. Squeeze out the excess water (do not wring) until the fabric is still wet, but no longer dripping. Pre-washing the fabric is important, as it will remove any coatings that might prevent the dye from soaking in. Cover your work area with several sheets of newspaper, a trash bag, or a cheap, plastic tablecloth. Put on an old set of clothes you don't mind staining. Lastly, put on a pair of rubber gloves. Keep a window open or turn on a fan to ensure good ventilation. Dye can get pungent. A tub, bin, or bucket will all work just fine. Keep in mind that the dye will stain the plastic, so make sure it's not something you care about. Heat the water up to about 140°F (60°C) first, then pour it into the container. You will need about 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of water for every pound (453.5 grams) of fabric. You can use either liquid dye or powder dye. How much you use depends on how much fabric you are dyeing and how dark you want the color to be. In general, plan on using ½ cup (120 milliliters) of liquid dye or 1 box of powder dye for each pound (453.5 grams) of fabric.  Use twice the amount of dye if you want the color to be darker or deeper. If you are using bottled dye, shake the bottle first to mix the pigments inside. Each brand of dye is different, so you may not need to add either of these. Salt or vinegar is usually added to the dye bath to help the dye adhere better to the fabric. It would be a good idea to read the label on your bottle or box of dye first, however, as not all dyes require this. In general, you would:  Add 1 cup (300 grams) of salt if the fabric is cotton, linen,...

TL;DR in English: Choose your fabric. Wash the fabric, but do not dry it. Protect yourself and your workspace. Pour hot water in a large, plastic container. Stir the dye into the water. Add some salt or vinegar, if needed.

Use your hands to gently sift the rice so that every grain gets rinsed off. Keep doing this until the water runs clear. You may be able to cook more or less rice, but this may affect the cooking time. Simple rice cookers typically have an on/off switch, but fancier rice cookers may have multiple cooking options. In this case, you'll need to select the correct cooking option before it starts cooking the rice. Which cooking option you select depends on the type of rice cooker you have as well as the type of rice you are using: short, medium, or long grain. This allows the steam to escape from the cooker at a slower rate, resulting in fluffier rice. If you don't do this, the grains may appear mushy, sticky, or clumpy. Do not take the lid off. If you do, the steam will escape too fast and ruin the texture of the rice.

Use a thin, plastic bag. Make sure that the bag does not have any holes by putting it in front of a small fan. Check the weather if you are planning on flying outside. Choose a large, empty room if you are planning on flying outside. Keep a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher near by

Clean and condition your hair regularly. Brush your hair to eliminate tangles. Avoid excessive heat. Style hair with products made from natural ingredients.

The best bag for this is a thin, cheap, trashcan liner. It should be translucent or clear. Do not use a regular trash bag; it will be too heavy. You can also use a dry cleaning bag instead. If you do, make sure that it is the short kind used for shirts; be sure to tape the hole at the top of the bag. Do not use plastic grocery bags. They are too small and too heavy. Place the opening of the bag in front of a small fan. Make sure that there are no gaps. Turn the fan on. The bag should fill up like a balloon. If it does not fill up, it may have some holes. Find these holes and cover them with a piece of scotch tape. The day should be cool; the balloon will not fly well on a hot day. Make sure that there is no wind; even the slightest breeze will keep the balloon from flying. The best time to fly would be at dawn or dusk as the weather is the most still. Cold, winter days with high pressure are the best for flying. You can also fly your balloon inside. Make sure that there is a lot of space, and that there are no curtains or carpets inside. If the balloon lands close to one of those, you could start a fire. A great place to fly is in a garage or a school gym. You will be working with fire, so you want to be safe. If you are a child, make sure that you have an adult with you at all times.

Your host will want to serve the dinner hot and arriving late might delay the meal. As a general rule, you should try to arrive within 15 minutes of the requested start time. Do not show up too early. Your host may still be getting ready and it is a nuisance if someone shows up ahead of schedule.  If you arrive early walk around the block a few times or read in your car until the scheduled arrival time. If you are going to be tardy, text or call the host in advance and tell them your estimated arrival time. If you are going to be over an hour late, tell the host to begin the evening without you and apologize. If you are invited over to a friend's for dinner, you should always tell them about any food allergies or taste preferences in advance. Your friend would much rather plan their meal around your allergy, than feel guilty that you are unable to eat anything on the night of.  For instance, if you don't eat pork for religious reasons, or any type of meat on moral grounds, your should communicate this to the host in advance. You could also offer to bring something along to make it easier for your friend to accommodate your dietary needs. If you have been invited over to a friend’s house for dinner, never show up with an additional guest who was not invited. Instead, if you would like your new partner to accompany you to a dinner party, call the host in advance to make sure this is alright. In most cases, your friend will gladly lay out another table setting. Your clothes should make you feel comfortable and confident. Make sure you know the atmosphere and theme in advance. For example, arriving in shorts when the other guests are wearing tuxedos and evening dresses does not make a good impression and you will likely feel uncomfortable and out of place all evening. A great gift for the host can range from a bottle of wine, to a bouquet of flowers, to an edible treat, such as fresh jams or chocolates. A gift is a nice way to thank the host for having you over for dinner and signals your appreciation.  If you...

TL;DR in English: Arrive on time. Disclose food allergies or aversions well ahead of time. Don’t bring a plus-one without permission. Present yourself in a clean, well-dressed manner. Bring a small gift. Ignore your phone. Carry on polite conversation. Thank your host for a lovely evening.

Wash your hair thoroughly every time you bathe, or every other time, if you have especially dry or damaged hair. Shampoo first and rinse completely, then apply conditioner and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Work the lather into your scalp to wash away dirt and oil, and condition the shaft down to the tips. Use hair products that contain healthy vitamins, proteins and oils so that your hair will stay strong and healthy.  Washing your hair too much can also damage it. Your hair needs a light coating of natural oils, so consider only shampooing every other day (or even every two days for those with curly, frizzy hair) and use a little conditioner on the ends in the meantime.  Cleansing conditioners and natural shampoos that make use of essential oils can also get your hair clean without drying it out. Invest in a good soft-bristled brush or wide-toothed comb and use it often. Combing and brushing rids hair of pesky knots and tangles, which can cause damage if left untreated. If you want the kind of smooth, flowing, silky hair you see on your favorite celebrities, you should make frequent brushing a hair care priority.  Brush your hair before you shower to prevent it from being poofy once it dries. Choose a brush that works best for your hair type and the style you’re trying to achieve. Too much straightening, curling and blow drying robs your hair of its natural moisture and leads to breakage. Use these styling techniques sparingly, and make sure to protect your hair with heat-treatment products when you do. If you usually blow dry your hair, start using a medium or low heat setting instead of turning it on full blast. It will take longer, but you’ll have luxurious hair to show for it.  Use quick, smooth strokes when straightening, and low heat when curling, to minimize the damage that the heat does to your hair. Pulling your hair back too tight, wearing a hat all day or spending a lot of time in the sun can also be bad for your hair. Just like heat, the chemical agents in certain hair products can strip and...

Babies inherit genes from both the mother’s side and the father’s side to determine eye color. This means that the mother’s eye color will have a direct influence on the baby’s eye color, though they may not be the same. The first step to a good prediction is to note the eye color of the mother as one of the following:  Brown Blue Green Hazel Since only 50% of the genes determining eye color come from the mother, the father’s eye color should also be noted. Again, the baby’s eye color could be different from either or both parents, but knowing the parents’ eye colors gives you a starting point. Label the dad’s eye color as brown, blue, green or hazel. This is most helpful when the two grandparents from either side have different colored eyes. By comparing their eye colors, you can learn more about the genes that their children (including one of the baby’s parents) carry. Parents’ siblings can also shed light on the variety of genes in the family. When siblings have different eye colors, it can indicate that the parents carry two different genes for eye color (heterozygous) instead of two copies of the same gene (homozygous). This information can help determine whether the baby’s parents are heterozygous or homozygous, and increase the accuracy of your prediction.

TL;DR in English: Observe the color of the mother’s eyes. Factor in the father’s eye color. Know the eye colors of all 4 grandparents. Look at the eye color of both parents’ siblings.

If your beef is too lean, it won't cook up well as a burger. Avoid anything that's 90% or above, for instance. If you want to go a little leaner, 85/15 will work, but 80/20 is a better option. Try buying beef that's freshly ground at the butcher counter for the best quality. If you can, use a kitchen scale to quickly measure them out. Otherwise, estimate the patty size based on the amount of meat you have. For instance, if you have 1.5 pounds (0.68 kg) of meat, you can make about 4 portions. Cover the patties up, and let them chill. Chilling the patties helps them stay together better when you cook them, and the center won't cook as quickly. Don't leave the patties out at room temperature, as that can encourage bacteria to grow.

TL;DR in English: Buy good beef with a meat to fat ratio of 80/20. Make patties that are about 6 ounces (1.7 hg) apiece. Put the patties in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

One of the most common places for clothes to fold and crease is near your bottom and thighs when you sit. The fabric may get folded and permanently crease after you stand up.  For dresses or dress shirts, pull down slightly on the tail when you sit so you are sitting on it flat, as opposed to pressing wrinkles into it with your body. In the car, unbutton the bottom button of your shirt and lay it over the lap belt. This will help prevent creasing along the area where your seat belt rests. If you are in the habit of crossing your legs when you sit, be careful, as it will crease your pants. Just like when you sit, crossing your legs creates small folds in the fabric of your clothes that press down to create creases and wrinkles. Try sitting with your legs uncrossed on days you are avoiding creases. When you are sitting at a desk or table, if space permits, stretch your legs out and keep them outstretched. The more contact and pressure your clothing receives, the more it will crease. Try to let your clothing hang loose and not be pressed up against your body by your hands, folded arms, bags, or jacket for long periods of time. If you are at a party or other event where sitting is not required, stay standing. Sitting is mostly responsible for pant creases in the legs and the seat. If you are able to stand, you will minimize the opportunities for your trousers or dress to wrinkle.

TL;DR in English: Pull your clothes flat when you sit. Avoid crossing your legs. Don't put pressure on your clothes. Stand as much as possible.

First impressions make a difference. Good hygiene shows that you take care of yourself. Take a shower every morning. Wash your hair, put on deodorant, and possibly use a small amount of cologne or perfume. Bad odors, among other problems, are distracting and cause people to not want to be around you. When you use cologne or perfume, add only a small amount to your neck, chest, and shoulders. She should be able to smell it up close without it overwhelming her senses. Clothes and hairstyle are also factors in how people judge you. If your hair is long and greasy and you wear stained sweatpants, chances are the girl will think of you in a negative way, making her feel uncomfortable. Buy yourself clothes that flatter your figure. A style that looks unique on you without being too flashy will help her appreciate you. If you don’t feel comfortable, chances are she won’t feel comfortable either. Anytime you seek her out, display your best self. This means going up to her, maintaining eye contact, and speaking loudly and clearly. To do this, practice being natural. Look into a mirror as you speak, maintaining eye contact with yourself.  Even if you feel nervous around her, slow down. Breathe deeply, speak slowly, relax, and focus on her. Be your natural self.  If you’re going to be at the same place a girl is, such as school or a party, try getting to the place early. This gives you time to get accustomed to the environment before it becomes more crowded and busy. Avoid any bad habits that would make her uncomfortable, such as swearing, telling inappropriate jokes, or fidgeting. Start with small questions, such as “That’s a nice tattoo, what does it mean?” Avoid asking deep questions, as these are too personal too soon. Instead, let her answer and then add to the conversation, such as by talking about something a little personal such as your own tattoos. Everyone has boundaries about how physically close someone cannot be. Moving into this space too fast and being unwelcome is a sure way to make a girl feel...

Always check to be sure that the weapon is unloaded and that the safety is on. Keep your gun pointed toward the ground when you are not firing. You should also get in the habit of wearing earplugs and safety glasses when shooting. As you step up to the shooting block, breathe air deeply into your lungs and let it out in a smooth exhale. Repeat this a few more times until you feel any nervousness dissipate. You can do this every time before you call for the clays to be released. One leg should be placed a bit in front the other and slightly bent. Keep your rear leg as straight as possible. Bend a little at your waist, but not enough to be hunched over. You should feel as if you are angled just a tad bit forward, as if you are leaning into the shot. Maintaining this position for every shot will make it easier to manage your gun’s recoil. It will also let you stay flexible enough to track the clay bird in the sky. Since the clay bird will be moving across the sky, you’ll need to track it with both of your eyes. If you close one of your eyes, you’ll eventually lose sight of the target and miss your shot. However, be aware that one of your eyes will be more dominant than the other. This means that you may need to slightly squint the less dominant eye if you are consistently missing shots. Slowly and smoothly place the butt of the stock against your shoulder until it feels secure, but not painful. The more contact the butt of the stock has with your shoulder, the less you’ll feel the recoil. Use your hands to hold the gun firmly and adjust your shooting elbow until it is horizontal with the ground. Your cheek should rest solidly against the comb (top of the stock) of your gun. This will also help to minimize the recoil. If this is uncomfortable, try securing a towel or other padding to the comb. ” When you are comfortably in position, loudly and clearly call out “pull.” This will result in the release of a clay bird from the trap house located in the center of the target field. When the clay bird is released, move...

TL;DR in English: Follow basic safety practices. Take a deep, calming breath. Position yourself in a boxer’s stance. Use both eyes to track the bird. Hold your gun in position against your shoulder. Call out “pull. Track the target with your gun’s muzzle. Shoot ahead of the target.

When someone else takes the picture, you are more free to pose exactly the way you would like. Another set of eyes can also make sure the photo is staged well, and can offer feedback. A profile picture should focus on your face, but it can include more of your body if done correctly. For a simple, confident pose, stand with one hand positioned on a hip. Angle your elbow slightly backwards. If you do include more of your body in the picture, make sure that your face is still the focus, and that your features can be easily seen. Good posture is important, but standing perfectly straight can make you seem stiff and unnatural in a picture. Try tilting your body slightly to the side, and leaning your head slightly forward. This will make your body look more relaxed and proportional. Professional photographers talk about the “Rule of Thirds.” Imagine drawing two vertical lines that would divide the picture into three equal parts. Keep most of yourself on one of those lines, rather than directly in the middle of the picture.

TL;DR in English: Have someone else take the picture of you, if possible. Try taking a head and shoulders or head and torso shot. Angle your body. Position yourself slightly to one side or the other.

The key terms in the debate need to be explained and defined by the first speaker. Also, define key terms that the audience might not know very well.  Identify the key terms in your argument and look up their definitions in a range of dictionaries. Choose the most appropriate definition for each word. You want to pick a definition that is neutral and conventional. Your definitions can be literal, as well as contextualized. Contextualized definitions add examples of how the concept applies to the real world. For example, a contextualized definition of money would show that money is used to buy services, such as food and gas. After defining the key terms, you need to tell the audience what you and your group will be arguing and why. Reinforce your arguments by reiterating your position in various ways. For example, “My team and I will show you the need, practicality, and benefits of medicinal marijuana. Together we will show that thousands of patients, including young children, who suffer from seizures, find relief in medicinal marijuana. Studies show that medicinal marijuana reduces instances of seizures by 80%. Furthermore, the side effects of medicinal marijuana are not as severe as the side effects that come with conventional forms of medication used to treat seizures, particularly for children. We will show that medicinal marijuana is a practical, safe, and cost-effective solution for patients and their families.” Your team's argument should include a proposition on how to address the problem you are debating about. Debating teams do this by defining a policy they wish to enact. The first speaker should outline the core component of the policy, as opposed to a detailed explanation of it.  In order to demonstrate that your team's policy will work, use policies that have already been enacted as the basis of your policy. For example, you can highlight that a ban on using cellphones while driving is similar to the ban on drinking while driving. Try to focus on three important reasons for why the policy is...

TL;DR in English: Establish definitions. Summarize your position’s case. Define a policy.

Aloe vera is a versatile remedy that helps reduce both the swelling and the burning sensation resulting from a swollen lip.  After the cold compress therapy (see the step above), apply aloe vera gel over the fat lip. Reapply as often as needed throughout the day. Black tea contains compounds (tannins) that help reduce swelling in the lip.  Prepare black tea and cool it. Dip in cotton ball and place over the fat lip for 10 to 15 minutes. You can repeat the treatment a few times a day for quick results. Honey acts as a natural healer as well as an antibacterial and can be used to treat a swollen lip in addition to many other remedies.  Apply honey over the fat lip and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse it off and repeat a few times a day as needed. Turmeric powder works as an antiseptic and has healing properties. You can easily make a paste with this powder and apply over the lip.  Mix turmeric powder with fuller’s earth and water and make a paste. Apply over the fat lip and let it dry. Wash off with water and repeat as needed. Baking soda can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with the fat lip and can also help reduce  swelling.  Mix baking soda with water to make a paste. Apply over the fat lip for a few minutes, then wash off. Repeat as needed until the swelling is gone. Salt water can be used to reduce swelling and, if the fat lip was associated with a cut, to kill bacteria that might otherwise cause an infection.  Dissolve salt in warm water. Soak a cotton ball or a towel in the salt water and place over the fat lip. If there is a cut, there may be a burning sensation but this should go away after a few seconds. Repeat once or twice a day as needed. Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is used as an antibiotic to fight bacterial infection. Always dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil to prevent skin irritation.  Dilute tea tree oil with another oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil or aloe vera gel. Apply over the fat lip for about 30 minutes, then rinse it off. Repeat as...

This stretch is very useful at loosening up your groin and inner thigh muscles, which are crucial to executing a Chinese split.  Sit on the floor with your back straight.  Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together in front of you.  Slowly pull your heels in towards your groin. Try to get your heels as close to you as you comfortably can, and keep your hands gripping your ankles.  Gently flex your knees down until they are touching the floor, or as close to the floor as you can comfortably get them. You can use your elbows to push your knees downward.  While exhaling, bend forward at the waist, and try to get your chest as close to the floor as possible. Hold the position for 20 seconds, then release it. This yoga position will help you stretch and loosen the muscles in your groin, calves, and quads, all major muscle groups needed to do a Chinese split.  Begin by lying flat on your back. As you exhale, pull your knees up towards your stomach.  While holding the outsides of each foot in your hands, open your knees just past the width of your abdomen, and pull your knees towards your armpits.  Try to keep your shins perpendicular to the floor. Hold the position for as long as you comfortably can (around 10 to 30 seconds should be sufficient), then release the pose. This yoga pose might be one of the best stretches to prepare your body for doing Chinese splits. Take it slow, though, as this position may be strenuous for first-time practitioners.  Begin by entering a staff pose. Sit on the floor with your back straight and your legs fully extended in front of you, with the insides of your feet touching.  Spread both legs outward. Try to form both legs into 90 degree angles with your hips. Slide your bottom slightly forward while keeping your legs spread to help push your legs as wide as you can comfortably spread them.  While keeping your knee caps pointed upward, stretch your hands forward between your legs as far as you can go without bending at the waist.  Hold the pose for around one minute, or...

TL;DR in English: Do a butterfly stretch. Practice the Happy Baby pose. Do a wide-angle seated forward bend.

Think about a few things that scare you or make you nervous. Write them down on a list, and put a star next to the one you want to start with. You can tackle the others later. Your list may include things like: “Go skydiving, read Moby Dick, write a short story, go on a blind date.” Come up with a reason (or a few) that you want to tackle this obstacle. Ask yourself what you're going to get out this new experience. Once you have your answer, write it down on a piece of paper and keep it with you. This can be a little phrase you repeat to yourself every time you're thinking about backing down. If you're going on a blind date, for example, you might tell yourself: “I've gone on lots of dates I set up myself, and I haven't met someone I can picture myself with long term. This could be my chance!” Doing something new on your own can make it even more challenging. There's no reason you can't rely on friends or family to help you get out of your comfort zone! Pick someone who's naturally adventurous to be your partner in trying new experiences. Your partner-in-crime should be aware of what you are doing and want to go along with it, too. You might be shying away from trying this new activity because you feel like you're facing a big question mark. To answer all your lingering questions, go online and read about it. Look for reputable information that can help you feel more knowledgeable and prepared.  Try for .gov, .org, or .edu websites when you can. Otherwise, be sure to avoid sites with misspellings or formatting problems. The internet can sometimes be overwhelming. While it's a great idea to be more informed, don't dig so deep that you start scaring yourself with scenarios that are unlikely to happen to you. For example, perhaps you're thinking about moving to a New York City for a promotion, but you've never lived in a city before. Read everything you can about New York to learn how to live there safely and happily. You can find the best neighborhoods for your personality and needs, and get excited about all...

Before selecting vintage pieces to add to your wardrobe, think about the style elements that you look for in clothing and accessories. While dressing in vintage clothing lets you expand your fashion horizons and experiment with different styles, you still want to look and feel like you. If you don’t feel comfortable and confident in your vintage finds, likely, you won’t end up wearing them.   Working out your fashion style will help you select vintage pieces that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe. When shopping for vintage, consider what you already own and how well each vintage piece will fit into your current wardrobe. Try looking at different styles on Pinterest and fashion blogs to help you identify what style elements match your aesthetic. This can give you ideas about what to look for when you are shopping for vintage pieces. If you want to avoid looking like you are wearing a costume, select vintage pieces in classic cuts that never go out of style. These pieces come in timeless shapes and colors that you can seamlessly incorporate into your wardrobe for years to come. For example, while fashion trends come and go, a classic vintage black shift dress, a statement-making vintage leopard swing coat, or a silk floral or neutral-shade tie-neck blouse will always be in style. When selecting vintage pieces, first check the tag to see what materials were used to make the item. Higher quality materials, such as cotton, silk, and wool, can withstand several cleanings and hold up well over time. While synthetic materials are fine for a statement-making piece or for special occasions, avoid synthetic materials if you plan on incorporating your vintage finds into your daily wardrobe.  If you find a vintage piece that no longer has a tag, there are a few tricks you can use to assess the quality. The easiest way is to feel the fabric by rubbing it gently between your pointer finger and thumb. If the material feels sturdy yet soft to the touch, it is likely of higher quality.  You can also compare the...

TL;DR in English: Choose pieces that reflect your personal style. Look for vintage pieces in classic styles. Focus on finding vintage items made of high-quality materials. Look for trendy vintage items. Learn the basics of vintage styles.

Choose a bowl that is a little bit larger than you think it needs to be. This will make mixing the pasta and sauce a lot easier. It will help prevent any bits of pasta from escaping. You will be adding the rest of the sauce later. It is easier to mix in small amounts of sauce at a time. Use a large spoon or spatula. Try to use a rolling motion, where you bring the pasta from the bottom of the bowl to the top. Use that same rolling motion as before, where you scooped the pasta from the bottom of the bowl to the top. At this point, you can add in some extras to give your pasta some extra flavor. What ever you choose to add in should already be cooked and cut into small, bite-sized pieces (or smaller). Here are some ideas for popular add-ins:  Bacon or ham Broccoli Cauliflower Mushrooms and onions Peas and carrots Peppers This sort of dish is best served warm. The longer it sits, the more greasy and oily it will become.

On inkjet printers, the printer rollers are typically located on the underneath side. You can usually find them if you remove the paper tray and look right above where the paper tray used to be. The rollers should rotate manually when you apply pressure to them. If not, you will need to use the “feed paper” option on your printer to rotate them. Either way, you shouldn’t need to remove them entirely for the cleaning process. Pour some distilled water into a cup and dip your lint-free cloth into it. You want the cloth to be damp, but not soaking wet. Wipe the damp cloth across the surface of the rollers to remove any dirt or grime that has built up over time. Be sure to fully rotate the rollers so that you can clean each part of the surface area. Make sure you dry off the rollers completely before using your printer again. In order to help the rubber printer rollers regain some of their original slickness and glide, you should use a rubber rejuvenating product. Simply moisten the end of a Q-tip or foam swab with the product and rub it lightly over the surface of the printer rollers. You should be able to purchase a rubber rejuvenating product at any computer or office supply or store.

TL;DR in English: Locate the printer rollers. Clean rollers with a lint-free cloth and water. Use a rubber rejuvenating product.

Herpes blisters are small, red, and filled with a yellowish fluid. Small blisters can cluster together and grow into a larger blister. To rule out other causes, have your doctor examine the blisters and, if necessary, take a viral culture.  Herpes virus type 1 usually causes blisters around the mouth, and herpes virus type 2 usually causes genital outbreaks. Blisters are often painful, burn, or itch. You may also experience moderately enlarged lymph nodes. You might feel tingling or pain in the affected area just before an outbreak. Fever, swollen glands, flu-like symptoms, and decreased appetite often occur, especially during the first outbreak. It's important that you doctor does a thorough examination, as there are other conditions that can cause similar bumps around your genitals, anus, or perianal area. These include syphilis, chancroid, carcinoma, trauma, or psoriasis. The first outbreak is usually more severe and lasts longer than subsequent outbreaks. Because of this, doctors typically prescribe an oral antiviral medication to manage an initial infection. The medication may be administered either episodically or continuously with suppressive therapy, depending on what your doctor prescribes.  Medications for oral and genital herpes include acyclovir (better known by the brand name Zovirax), valacyclovir (better known as Valtrex), and famciclovir (better known as Famvir). These don't cure herpes, but they help relieve symptoms and shorten the outbreak's duration. The treatment is most effective when it's begun within 1 day of the outbreak onset. If the doctor prescribes an episodic treatment, the patient should be given the medication or a valid prescription for it so that they can administer it at the first sign of a new outbreak. Within 12 months of their first outbreak, about 90% of patients report at least one recurrence. Take your medication as prescribed, and don't stop taking it prematurely, even if your symptoms improve. Depending on which medication you're prescribed, you'll take 1 to 5...

TL;DR in English: Get an accurate diagnosis from your doctor. Manage your first outbreak with a prescription antiviral. Take your medication according to your doctor's instructions. Apply an antiviral cream if your doctor prescribes one. Ask your doctor if they recommend medication for recurrent outbreaks. Take a daily medication if you experience frequent outbreaks. Try episodic therapy if you don't want to take medication daily.

You might casually bring it up while chatting about your plans for the weekend, or you might ask directly. You should target friends that you think have already been invited, because if you bring up the party to another friend who's uninvited, you might end up making that person feel left out. If you get into a situation where you and a few friends weren't uninvited to a party, you could throw a party of your own. In most cases it is generally accepted for invited guests to bring a "plus one" to a big to-do. If your friend tells you that he has received an invitation, you can say try to get invited by saying things like:   "That's fantastic! I wish I could be there, too." "You know, I don't have any plans that night. You think it'd be alright if I tagged along?" "Dude, it's been forever since we've gotten rowdy! We should go together!" If your friend agrees to bring you with him, you should show your thanks in some small way, like by offering to drive to the shindig. Be sure to get the particulars from your friend since he has the invitation, and try to be accommodating to his wishes. If your friend says he's made arrangements to go to the party with someone else, be courteous and pleasant. After all, your friend probably didn't know you weren't invited or that you needed a piggyback-invite.  Then check with other friends you think may have been invited to see if you can tag along with them. Even if turned down, you may be able to ask your friend if he has any leads for a mutual friend who is going that you can tag along with. This is an especially useful tactic if a good friend of yours has been invited while you have not. This way, you can save yourself and the host some embarrassment by asking indirectly through your friend. You might coach your friend to say to the host:  "Hey Emily, I was talking with my friend John the other day, and he doesn't have anything going on this weekend during the party. I didn't say anything about it in case it wasn't cool with you, but would you mind if I invited him along?"...

TL;DR in English: Mention the party to your friends. Piggyback on the invitations of friends. Show your appreciation when tagging along. Accept being turned down graciously. Ask to go through a friend.

To ensure that the oven is hot enough when it's time to bake the brownies, set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Next, line a 9-inch by 9-inch (23-cm by 23-cm) baking dish with parchment paper or foil, and then grease it with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Make sure you know how your oven indicates that it's fully preheated. In most cases, a light will flash or a beep will sound to alert you. Place 1 ¼ sticks (142 g) of unsalted butter, cut into pieces, in a small sauce pan, and heat over medium low heat until the butter melts. That should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes, but don't try to rush the process by turning up the heat. Remove the pan from the heat once the butter has melted.  It helps to stir the butter with a wooden spoon while it's on the stovetop to make it melt more quickly. If you're in a hurry, you can melt the butter in the microwave. Cut the butter into pieces, place it in a microwave-safe dish, and microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds or until it's fully melted. Once the butter is completely melted, mix in 1 cup (200 g) of granulated sugar and ¾ cup (88.5 g) of unsweetened cocoa powder into the butter. Use a whisk to completely combine the ingredients. After you've blended the butter and cocoa mixture completely, mix in ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt, 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Whisk the mixture continuously to ensure that the eggs are fully combined. It's a good idea to crack the eggs into a separate dish before adding them to the other ingredients in case one or both are rotten. You don't want to ruin the entire batter by adding a bad egg. When the eggs are completely incorporated into the batter, add in ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour. Stir the batter until the flour is just combined, and set the batter aside until you're ready to assemble the full brownies. Avoid overmixing the flour into the batter. It can lead to a tough, chewy brownie layer in your finished bars.
