Even though she is really hurting your feelings, your sister may think that she is just joking or playing around with you. It's important that you tell her how her actions are making you feel. Make sure she knows that you are serious and not joking around with her.  Be inviting and relaxed when you approach your sister to talk. When you want to talk with your sister, say "I would really appreciate it if we could talk for a few minutes." Tell her how she hurts you and why those actions you feel so bad. Say to your sister "It really hurts my feelings when you ______. It hurts my feelings because _____." Big sisters are easily annoyed with younger siblings, so ask your sister if there is something you are doing that is causing your sister to be mean to you. Then, figure out how to fix your actions.  Say to your sister "I really want to improve our relationship. Have I done anything to upset or annoy you?" Once she gives you an answer, ask what you can do to be a better sister. Say "What can I do to be a better sibling to you? I really want us to stop fighting so much." Even though serious conversations are necessary to resolve conflict, bonding over fun and casual conversations is important too.  Compliment her on her shoes, tell her that you like the posters she has hung up in her room, ask her about the boy/girl she likes at school. Have a fun conversation with your sister to help you two bond.  Be sure to let your sister know that you enjoy spending time with her and that you'd like to do it more often. Big sisters typically like to give advice. If you ask her for advice about fun things like fashion, love, or music, she'll enjoy talking with you.

If the vehicle has police markings, it is highly unlikely that it would be an imposter. A civilian driving a marked police vehicle would most likely be spotted very quickly by an actual police officer, and that individual would quickly get arrested for impersonating an officer. If a marked police vehicle is attempting to pull you over, it's generally safe to assume that that individual is a real police officer. If the vehicle is not clearly marked as a police vehicle, you'll need to identify what make and model the vehicle is. Police officers in the United States generally only drive a limited number of vehicle makes and models, and those vehicles are usually in decent shape (though they may be scratched up or lightly dented from previous pursuits).  Police sedans in the United States are almost always a Ford Crown Victoria, a Chevy Impala, a Dodge Intrepid, a Dodge Charger, or a Chevy Lumina. Police SUVs are almost always a Ford F150, a Chevy Tahoe, or a Dodge Durango. Most police departments use relatively new vehicles. If the vehicle pursuing you looks old and/or very broken down, it may not be a real police vehicle. If you're still not sure whether it's a real police officer, the best thing to do is to call 911. Try to give the dispatcher a detailed location of where you are and a description of your vehicle and the alleged police vehicle. The 911 dispatcher will be able to use that information to check with the local police or sheriff's department to determine whether the vehicle you're being pulled over by is actually a police vehicle, and whether that officer has actually pulled you over. Be sure to give the make, model, and license plate of both your vehicle and the vehicle you're being pulled over by. Though some states permit unmarked police vehicles to conduct routine traffic stops, some states have outlawed this practice. In New York State, for example, unmarked vehicles are no longer allowed to stop motorists for routine traffic violations (though certain exceptions may be made). Other...

TL;DR in English: Check to see if it's a marked vehicle. Identify the vehicle's make and model. Call 911 while you're being pulled over. Learn your state's laws.

Since yaws are easily transmitted through skin contact, it is best to let the people that live in your household get tested for yaws as well as take the treatment if they are infected. Treated areas which are previously endemic for yaws should be reexamined within 6 months and at intervals there after so that missed cases and their contacts can be treated. There is 100% cure rate among yaws patients in the early stages of this disease. Nevertheless, treatment cannot reverse or change the destructive or damaged changes in the late or tertiary stage of yaws. Here are the specifics:  Yaws lesions become non-contagious within 24 hours from the start of treatment. Joint pains resolve in 25 hours to 48 hours of treatment. Complete healing of the initial and secondary lesions occur within two weeks to four weeks from start of treatment. It begins by the organism entering the body through a skin defect such as a bite site, abrasion or scratch. After about 3 weeks a reddish, painless and itchy small swelling develops at the entry site. The primary lesion heals spontaneously after 3-6 months.  Yaws has an incubation period of 9 days to 90 days followed by the appearance of this primary papule, called the mother yaws.  The swelling then ulcerates with a honey-brown crust formation. The ulcer may enlarge in size to about 2–5 centimeter (0.8–2.0 in). The crust sloughs out to expose a reddish base. The discharge from the ulcer is rich in organisms rendering the patient highly infectious. There is a gap of 6-16 weeks between the primary and secondary stages. During this period the organisms spread via the blood to different parts of the body.  There are skin lesions similar to primary yaws but they are smaller in size (maximum 2cm). They tend to develop around the mouth, nose, axilla and anus. These lesions also ulcerate and discharge infectious fluid. They heal spontaneously within 6 months. There may be painful swelling of bone surfaces particularly hand and foot bones. After the secondary lesions heal, the patient...

Generally speaking, Rose of Sharon is an exceptionally self-sufficient plant, and doesn’t require much upkeep. If you decide that your shrubs are in need of touching up, however, do it during the colder months while they’re still in their dormant stage. Doing so will help stimulate new growth once the weather warms up.  As a rule, the best time to prune your Rose of Sharon is anywhere from March to early May, before the blooms begin to open.  Cutting back your Rose of Sharon too early or too late can “shock” the plant, leaving it vulnerable to the elements and stunting healthy new growth. Pay close attention to any branches that appear rotted, brittle, or colorless, leaving only the strongest, healthiest sections behind. Try to shear each offshoot as close to the larger connecting branch as possible. You should be able to use your pruning shears to tackle most of the trimming.  For thick or stubborn branches, you may need to grab a pair of heavy-duty loppers or a handheld pruning saw.  If you’re not sure whether a particular branch is actually dead, try scraping off a little bit of the bark. If the wood underneath has a greenish tinge to it, leave it be. Inspect the interior of the shrub for offshoots that overlap or wind around each other. Clip off the more crooked of the 2 branches at its base—it’s not necessary to remove them both. Don’t forget to check for tangled or twisted stems near the outer part of the plant, as well. In addition to making your shrubs look better, getting rid of criss-crossing branches will also open them up in the middle, proving airflow essential for keeping pests and diseases at bay. Suckers are slender stalks that grow vertically out of the roots of woody shrubs like Rose of Sharon. They most often appear along the lower portion of the main branches or on the ground directly beneath the plant. The best way to deal with suckers is to snip each stalk as close to the base as possible, as this destroys their connection with the plant's roots and makes them slower to grow back.  Once...

TL;DR in English: Wait until winter or early spring to prune Rose of Sharon. Clear out dead or damaged wood. Eliminate criss-crossing branches. Remove any visible suckers from the base of the plant. Cut your shrubs back by up to two thirds of their total size.

The existing process for manufacturing products or providing services for your customers needs to be established. Obviously, the processes will be established by whole departments working together to come up with the solution. However, it's your job to define the process in the business requirements. Identify how the processes that are studied affects the problem, whether as cause or consequences. Study the process by:  Compiling observations of the process. Conducting interviews with employees performing the process. Analyzing quantified measures of the process such as volume, cycle times, cost, quality. One way to show the process is to use a flow diagram. You use shapes for each step of the process with arrows to show how the product or service moves. It is essentially a map of how the process works. It can show where problems could arise with the process if it the product ends up bottlenecking in a certain area. For instance, if one area can produce 40 of the products in one hour, but the next step in the process can only do 20 in an hour, then the process needs to be adjusted. Your process analysis shows how each step is going to affect another step. Therefore, the process for your project should not be automated until you've got a complete understanding of the process through an analysis. Include an explanation of inputs and outputs with physical counts, cycle time, and other relevant data. In particular, note when process moves from one department to another as this is often the source of greatest inefficiency.

TL;DR in English: Establish the process. Create a process flow diagram. Quantify process elements.

If you are a sprout, you can use a vegetable sprout.

Select a bean or legume variety to sprout. Soak legumes in warm water. Let sprout for about 3 whole days. Dry off the sprouts and store them in the refrigerator.

Once you feel able to face your friend, arrange to meet up and talk. The two of you need to decide how to move forward with your friendship. If you just ignore it, your friendship may suffer. So, call out the elephant in the room and have the tough conversation.  You might say, “So, I still want to be your friend, but I can see I made you uncomfortable. How are we going to move on from this?” Actively listen to what the other person has to say. Find out exactly how they are feeling and what they are thinking. Brainstorm solutions to reduce any awkwardness or resentments. If the two of you are able to resume the friendship and fall back into old patterns, your old feelings may re-emerge. If this happens, don’t try to change their mind, or convince them that they should date you. Your friend made it clear that they weren’t interested in you that way, so respect their choice. You may have to decide if you are able to continue being friends with the person. You may have to go separate ways if you are unable to control your feelings and if they don't go away over time. Your friend may feel uncomfortable hanging out with you after you revealed your deeper feelings. In a similar vein, you may still feel humiliated about the rejection. No matter how hard you two work to salvage the friendship, you may find yourselves spending less time together.  Accept that once love enters the picture, things change. Be okay with not spending as much time with the person, if that’s what either of you wants. Your friendship might not improve until both of you are in fulfilling relationships, so be prepared for it to take a lot of time for things to get better between you.

TL;DR in English: Have a candid discussion about where the friendship stands. Respect their boundaries. Realize that the friendship may never be the same.

You want to use the broiler in the oven. You can bake it in the oven, but it takes longer and isn't necessary for toast. You can also make toast in a toaster oven instead of a conventional oven. Just turn the setting to your desired darkness. As long as you watch the toast, you won't burn it. Use a butter knife to spread butter on the bread before you place it into the oven. Make sure to use real butter instead of margarine.  An alternative is to spread the butter on the bread after the bread is finished. However, buttering the bread before you put it into the oven bakes the butter into the bread, giving it a better flavor. You can butter both sides of the bread or just one side. This is up to you. Put the bread into the broiler, or onto the wire rack if you are using a toaster oven. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Make sure to keep watching the bread. If you like your bread lighter, don't let it cook as long; if you like darker bread, let it cook for longer. Turn the bread over when the first side is brown enough. Let the next side cook for 2-3 minutes.  If you are using a toaster oven, you probably will not have to flip it over because the bread will cook on both sides. You don't have to flip it over and cook it on both sides. You can leave one side un-toasted if you wish. It will still be warm and slightly cooked from being in the oven. When the bread is to your desired level of toasted, remove it and place it on a plate. If you haven't buttered the toast already, add butter now.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven. Spread the butter on the toast. Place the bread into the oven. Remove the bread from the oven.

Depending on the type of vegetable you’re roasting, this could take anywhere from 15-45 minutes after you put the veggies in the oven. Softer vegetables tend to only take 15-20 minutes to roast, while harder ones take 30-45 minutes. Soft veggies such as zucchini and eggplant will only take 15-20 minutes while harder veggies such as parsnips and sweet potatoes will take roughly 30 minutes.

TL;DR in English: Look for browned edges that indicate the veggies are roasted.

Perhaps the heartiest and the most famous sprouts are the bean sprouts. Legumes sprout thick protuberances that are nutritious and taste great, full of active micronutrients and flavor. Common legumes for sprouting include:  lentils, green or brown especially chickpeas or garbanzo beans mung beans, which are commonly sold in stores as "bean sprouts" green peas Start with about a half cup of dried beans (they tend to plump up some as they absorb water and shake their hulls). The water shouldn't be steaming, but warm to the touch, like a cup of tea you've let sit a bit too long. In your sprouting jar, soak the beans for at least 12 hours. Because the legumes will plump up considerably, make sure there's enough space in the jar and cover the beans by several inches to make sure they'll stay submerged. Rinse the beans twice a day, and store them upside down to drain properly as the sprouts grow. Sometime the first or second day, you might need to shake the jar slightly to remove the hulls. You can add some water and swirl the jar gently to remove them. If some stay on, don't worry to much. You'll be able to pull them off before eating, if necessary. Adzuki beans typically need about 4 days to sprout to their fullest and most delicious potential. Give them some extra time. After the sprouting period is over, you can remove the sprouts from the jar, gently dry them out and remove any extra hulls that haven't separated, or you can leave them on (they're edible, though somewhat bitter). They should be good in the fridge for about a week, if you keep an eye on them and keep them relatively dry. Bean sprouts are particularly good as a topping for broth-based soups, like Vietnamese pho or other spicy dishes. They're also perfect on salads and sandwiches.

Most auto transport company websites will have a large button at the top of the home page that says “Get Quote” or “Request Quote.” It’s almost always free to request a price quote, so don’t worry about having to commit to the company just because you’re requesting a quote. You can also call the company’s customer service phone number to get a quote. This phone number is also located on the company’s website and is almost definitely on any promotional material (e.g., flyers) that the company puts out. Contact each of the companies you’ve deemed to be trustworthy and ask how much it would cost for you to transport your car with them. Be sure to give them all of the specifics regarding your car and how you’d like them to transport it.  You’ll need to provide the make and model of your car, as well as the shipping locations and dates. Don’t agree to any offers immediately; just get quotes from all of the companies you’re considering so you can compare the offers to one another. Although you may think the lowest-priced company will be giving you the best deal, these companies often surprise customers with hidden fees down the line. Plus, the lower quoted price, the lower quality service you can usually expect from auto transport companies.  It's normal to see quotes within $100 of each other.  Anything way lower could be a bait and switch or have hidden fees. Hidden fees may include the cost of insurance or a service fee. Once you’ve gotten a sense of each company’s services, reputation, and price, you’re now in the best position possible to choose the right company for you. If you’re still not sure which company you should go with, contact the companies again to ask any lingering questions you still have.

TL;DR in English: Call or visit the website of a transport company to get a quote. Get quotes from several companies with good reviews. Avoid settling for the cheapest option. Decide which company is best for your particular situation.

Set your oven to 350° F. Measure out 1 cup of uncooked wild rice. Pour the wild rice into a mesh strainer and rinse the seeds under cold water.  Rinsing the wild rice will remove unwanted hulls from the seeds.  1 cup uncooked wild rice will yield approximately 3 to 4 cups cooked wild rice. Pour the rinsed wild rice into a 2 quart covered glass dish. Add 3 cups cold water to the rice. Instead of water, you can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. Cover the dish and insert it into the oven. Bake the wild rice at 350° F for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the dish from the oven. Use a table fork to fluff, or stir, the rice. If the wild rice appears dry, add more water to the dish. If you used broth, add more broth instead of water. Cover the dish and return the fluffed wild rice to the oven. Bake the wild rice at 350° F for 30 minutes. After half an hour, remove the dish from the oven. Transfer the cooked wild rice to a mesh strainer to drain off any excess liquid. Pour the strained wild rice into a serving dish. Fluff the cooked seeds with a table fork and serve. After you strain the wild rice, you can season it to taste.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven. Rinse the wild rice. Combine the wild rice and water. Bake for 1 hour. Check the wild rice. Bake for 30 minutes. Strain, fluff and serve.

Before starting any new hairstyle, you should brush out all the tangles and make it malleable. Brush your hair back so that it is out of your face. This is a popular technique that allows people to keep their hair’s personality while adapting their fringe easier. This is also easier than straightening your whole head. Figure out which side you want your part to be. Test a section of your bangs parted. Check your look in a mirror to confirm the look of the part. Now wedge a bobby pin near the bottom of the fringe together with the hair underneath it.

Tailor your budget to fit the relationship you have with the recipient. In other words, you'll probably want to spend more on a close friend than a co-worker. Regardless of who the person is to you, give yourself a budget. Adult goodies can get pricy very quickly, so it's good to have some limitations in place. Instead of handing over a giant bag filled with mostly useless and throwaway items, aim for fewer items that are stylish, sophisticated and useful. To keep yourself on track when selecting items to put in the bag, continually ask yourself, “Is this something I would appreciate receiving myself?” For a friend, choose upscale items that are tailored to what you know about them. For people that you don't know well, choose items that are a little more neutral that anyone could enjoy.  For an artist friend you could put all art-related items in the bag, like paint brushes, a small paint set, a book about their favorite artist, a beautifully bound sketch book and/or two tickets to an art film showing in your city. For a co-worker you could use a dark brown coffee-themed bag and cream colored tissue paper. Inside you could put a nice mug, a few bags of high-end coffee, a small bag of bakery-made biscotti and a gift card for Starbucks. Everyone appreciates receiving things that are useful and functional. Gift cards fall into this category and since these days you can get a gift card to almost anything, tailor your choice to the person. Restaurants, department stores, craft stores, wine shops, book stores – the possibilities are endless.  Other ideas would be movie tickets, sports tickets or tickets for a night at the symphony. Smaller useful items are great too – travel sized hand sanitizers that are high end or decorated could be included, or a well-designed pen. Don't go overboard with your choices – pick 3 to 6 quality items that are well-made and nice to look at and leave it at that. When paired with the sophisticated, well-designed packaging you've created, even the smallest of gift bags come off as...

Like most other animals, ferrets need to be checked out by a vet at least yearly. At these visits your vet will do a general physical check-up of your ferret. They will also ask you if your ferret has been suffering from any health or behavioral problems. Your vet will keep your ferret on a standard vaccination schedule, including yearly rabies shots. Many jurisdictions require these shots for domestic pets. Watch to see where your ferret goes to the restroom when in the cage. Place the litter box in this same location. Then, put a few fresh droppings into the box, so that it smells like a restroom for your ferret. Most ferrets will quickly start using the box. If your ferret refuses to use the box, then experiment with changing out the litter to another type of plant fiber. Ferrets might seem like sturdy little creatures, but they are actually quite fragile. When you pick up or hold your ferret, place 1 hand underneath its chest and use another to cup its hindquarters. Don’t ever grab your ferret by its tail. You can also keep your ferret secure by using 1 hand to hold its hindquarters, while using your other hand to gently grasp the scruff behind your ferret’s neck. Because of their acute sense of hearing, you are likely to cause your ferret to panic if you raise your voice. This can make them wiggle, or even try to bite you, if they are being held. Instead, make a habit of using a calm, soothing voice when interacting with your ferret. This is a great way to build trust. When ferrets are awake, they are extremely curious and interested in their surroundings. Let your ferret roam around a ferret-proofed room or space for at least a few hours each day. Make sure that you supervise this time, just in case your ferret gets into trouble. To make a space safe for your ferret, check for any holes or gaps where it might hide or get stuck. Remove any medications or other substances which could poison your ferret. Put away small items, such as remotes, which (if broken) could constitute a choking hazard. Ferrets can...

TL;DR in English: Take your ferret for annual vet visits. Train your ferret to use the litter box. Hold your ferret with 2 hands at all times. Speak in low, soft tones to your ferret. Give your ferret time outside of its cage. Provide a variety of hard plastic toys both inside and outside the cage. Play with your ferret for a minimum of 30 minutes each day.

You will need several types of supplies to make your own mask, but you can always use these supplies to make additional masks. These are available online or at large crafting stores.  You will need an oil based clay to sculpt the mask.  You will also need a form to sculpt your mask on top of such as a Styrofoam mannequin head.  You will need a material called industrial gypsum in order to make a mold of the sculpture.  You will need some burlap to make your mold 3-D. Select a good quality brand of liquid latex for your mask. You will need a casting latex specifically formulated for mask making, called RD-407.  You can also purchase paints or decorations such as fake fur, sequins, or feathers to put on the mask. This will depend on what final look you are hoping to achieve. Your clay will become more pliable for sculpting if you warm it a bit first. Place a few blocks of plasticine clay in the oven at a low temperature (150°-200° F) for 15 to 20 minutes.  The clay should be very pliable and warm, but not hot to the touch. Do not allow the clay to liquify. To sculpt the mask, you will need the form to stay immobile. You can secure the styrofoam mannequin head to a solid wooden base such as a 12' x 12' piece of plywood. Attach the head with duct tape until it is secure. You should use a thick enough layer of clay that you don't have to worry about it thinning as you sculpt.  You can use your hands, sculpting tools, or tools from around the house (like a butter knife or putty knife) to sculpt details including skin textures and exaggerated features. Smooth the surface of the clay with lighter fluid and a small flat paint brush. When you are satisfied with your creation, move on to the next step. It may take you several hours or even days to create the look you are going for.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Warm the clay. Set up the mannequin or other form. Cover the head with clay and start sculpting.

Mow or cut the thistle right before or during the flowering stage so it can’t distribute its seeds. Then, cut it again as soon as you notice new growth. This will deplete the roots and make it hard for the thistle to survive.  If you’re dealing with creeping thistle, it’s best to cut it when it reaches 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long. Typically, this will happen around early June. Don’t let the flowers dry out because they’ll spread thistle seeds. Since thistle can grow roots as deep as 20 ft (6.1 m) deep, it’s easiest to dig it up when it’s just started growing. Use a shovel or trowel to dig up the ground around the root system. Then, remove all of the roots and discard them in the trash.  If the roots already go deep, you'll likely need to use multiple strategies to get rid of your thistles. Dig up as much of the root system as you can. Then, watch the plot and immediately cut down any thistles that sprout back up. Don’t put thistle roots or part of the thistle plant in your compost pile. If you do, it will likely blossom in the compost pile and spread from there. Since thistle needs lots of sunlight to grow, mulching may prevent it from sprouting up. If you don’t mind covering an entire plot, use plastic mulch or pieces of cardboard to cover the thistle patch. If you’re trying to get rid of thistle in a border or flower bed, add several inches of mulch around your plants. This will allow the plants to continue to grow healthily while also choking off the thistles. When you first plant a border or bed, use plastic mulch around the plants to prevent thistle from sprouting up. This will take care of the problem before it starts back up. Thistles need a lot of sunlight and water, so competing plants can sometimes kill them. Grasses, especially alfalfa grass, are an easy option for adding competition to a large area. Sprinkle the grass seed over the plot and let it kill your thistles.  If you leave a plot empty, thistles will continue to grow there because it’s an ideal environment. It’s best to mow the plot...

A mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide may reduce the growth of mold on the seeds. Stir 1.5 teaspoons (7 mL) of 3% hydrogen peroxide into 1 cup (240 mL) water. Keep the rose seeds in this solution for at least one hour.  Some studies suggest that a little mold growth can actually help break down the casing surrounding the seed, but this treatment is still recommended to prevent mold growth in larger amounts. A light dusting of anti-fungal powder for plants is an alternative to this step. Rose seeds typically won't sprout unless they are kept in cold, wet conditions, mimicking a winter environment. Place the seeds between two layers of lightly dampened paper towels, or in a container of dampened salt-free river sand, peat moss, or vermiculite. This is the first step in a process called stratification. If you are using store-bought seeds and the label says they are already stratified, skip to the planting seeds section below. Put the seeds and moist material in a plastic bag or seedling tray in a plastic bag or seedling trays, and keep them in a cold area of a refrigerator, such as an otherwise empty crisper drawer.  Do not keep them in the same area of the refrigerator as fruit or vegetables, which can release chemicals that prevent the seeds from developing. Keep the seed medium slightly damp. Add a few drops of water to each paper towel whenever they begin to dry out. Try to do this around the time that the seeds would normally start to germinate, such as in early spring. Make sure that the environment outside of the fridge is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The seed will not sprout until you take them out of the fridge. Depending on the rose variety and individual seeds, the seeds could take anywhere from four to sixteen weeks to germinate. Often, 70% or more of the seeds never sprout at all.

TL;DR in English: Soak the seeds in diluted hydrogen peroxide (optional). Place the seeds in a damp material. Leave the seeds in the fridge for several weeks. Remove the seeds from the fridge.

The drying process for a down jacket takes quite a long time, but you can help it along by removing as much moisture as possible from the coat.  Run the jacket through two or three additional spin cycles after the second rinse is complete. If possible, increase the speed of the spin with each cycle.  Squeeze the jacket by hand to remove excess moisture if you don’t have a washing machine. Don’t wring the jacket, as this could damage the feathers. Then, lay the jacket to hang on a radiator or hang it to dry. After the spin cycles, place your jacket into the dryer along with two or three clean tennis balls. As the tennis balls bounce around in the dryer with the jacket, they will fluff the feathers inside. This fluffing will prevent the feathers from clumping together, and help return their loft.  Be warned that the drying process can take up to three hours, but do not increase the heat above low. Higher heat can damage or melt parts of the jacket.  Tumble drying is the recommended method for drying down jackets, because air drying can take so long, and eventually the jacket can start to smell. However, if you don’t have a dryer, dry the jacket over a radiator if possible, or hang it to air dry. As the jacket dries, remove it from the dryer every 30 minutes to shake the jacket vigorously and break up feather clumps. You know the jacket is dry when the feathers stop clumping together, and when it feels light and fluffy again. Even if you're radiator or air drying your jacket, be sure to shake it out every half hour to break up clumps. When the jacket is fully dry, give it a final shake. Hang it somewhere to air out for a couple hours before wearing or storing the jacket. Never compress a wet down jacket, as this can destroy some of its ability to insulate properly.

TL;DR in English: Run the jacket through multiple spin cycles. Tumble dry on low. Fluff the jacket as it dries. Hang the jacket to air.

Ranunculus plants prefer a sunny location but if you are in an especially hot climate they will tolerate some shade. Ranunculus tend not to tolerate heavy frost so if you are planting them in cooler climates it is recommended to store the tubers, which are also know as bulbs, inside for the winter. Storing ranunculus tubers will be covered in Step 6 of Method 2 further down in the article. Aside from planting your ranunculus in the sun, you should also keep the soil in mind when choosing a spot for your plant. Ranunculus grow well in well-drained soil and prefer rich, sandy ground. Avoid planting your ranunculus in areas where puddles remain long after rainfall, or if you know your soil is heavy clay. You can determine if your soil is predominantly clay by squeezing a handful of moist soil in your palm. If it clumps together, you likely have a clay-heavy soil. You can improve soil drainage by mixing your soil with a generous amount of substances such as plant fibers (bark or grass clippings) or well-rotted manure. These ‘soil extras’ will help your ranunculus to grow. Tubers, or bulbs, are generally the preferred way to grow ranunculus. A tuber is similar to a root; ranunculus tubers look like spiders, claws, or bunches of bananas. Their odd appearance is helpful when it comes to planting. Plant the tuber with the pointed ‘claw’ end or ‘spider’s legs’ facing downwards. To plant your tubers:  You should plant smaller varieties so that they are about 2 inches (5.1 cm) deep and 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart from other tubers. Plant larger varieties, such as Ranunculus Tecolote, up to 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart. You don’t need to soak them before planting. It’s best to plant in batches of up to a dozen for maximum effect. Plant as soon as the last frosts have ended, usually in the spring. Water the tubers and the ground around them after you have planted them. Watering them will help to settle the soil. Do not water until sprouts emerge. The size of the bulb will help indicate the number of flowers it will produce. ...

TL;DR in English: Pick out a spot for your ranunculus based on your climate. Find a spot to plant your ranunculus where the soil drains well. Plant your ranunculus from tubers (aka bulbs) if possible. Be aware that you can generally tell how many flowers you will get by looking at the bulb or tuber. Try growing ranunculus from seed if you cannot purchase tubers. Consider planting your ranunculus in a container. Keep animals away from the ranunculus, as the flowers are poisonous.

Expect employers to value technical know-how most of all. So don’t fret if the cost of tuition for higher education is beyond your means, because a degree isn’t strictly necessary to find employment. At the same time, though, recognize that technical proficiency coupled with a degree will probably make you stand out over other candidates. Whichever route you choose, put all your emphasis on becoming a proficient programmer. Coasting will only leave you ill-equipped for interviews and the job in question. If you decide on college, be wary about specialized degrees in game programming. Expect these to cover all of the many different aspects of game programming in a relatively short amount of time. Favor a major in Computer Science instead if you aren’t already proficient in the subject.  Each aspect of game programming takes a lot of time to master. Studying computer science in depth is more likely to equip you with the necessary skills to tackle each one, even if those skills aren’t directly applied to games during the course of your studies. If you do consider a specialized degree, research the people who are teaching it. Professors who understand the concepts of game programming, but who have never worked in the field themselves, may not be the best people to learn from. Whether you go to school or teach yourself, aim to master at least one computer language. Focus on C++ to increase your chances of being hired, since this is used the most often in game programming. Other languages that are helpful include:  Actionscript Assembly C Java Objective-C Python Swift Remember: the best way to learn how to do something is to actually do it! Once you learn how to code in computer languages, apply your skills. Build a game from the ground up to grow more familiar with the whole process, from start to finish. As you do, you should:  Keep it basic. Don’t worry about revolutionizing games as you know it. To make an analogy, write a simple short story, not James Joyce’s Ulysses. Copy another game if needed.

While every successful game is unique in its way, almost all of them fit into a specific genre. Decide what kind of game you want to create, and look at what other games in the same genre do. Some common genres include:  Arcade games Shooters Puzzles Platformers Racing Adventures Endless runners RPGs First-person shooters Third person shooters Story/Manga driven JRPG Visual novels Tower Defense Horror Fighters Comedy Survival The platform that you choose to develop your game will significantly impact the way it is developed. The platform dictates the way the game is controlled; smartphone games are typically touch-and-tilt-based, PC games typically use a keyboard and mouse, and console games use gamepads. Note that most commercial PC games also support Gamepad.  There are exceptions to all these rules, but you will generally find it easier to design the game around a specific control method. If you want to make an iPhone game, you will need to submit it to the Apple store from a Mac computer. However, one exception is the Godot Engine which also allows you to create for iPhone on Linux which is useful if you don't have a Mac. This should just be at least one page but will be the heart of the gameplay experience you create. It contains the fundamental concepts of your game and will allow you to see if your idea is viable as a video game. This statement will serve as the motivating force behind the game. These are very simple statements that get to the heart of what the game is. Revisit it often to ensure that your game is still meeting its basic goals. Some example core philosophies:  This game simulates a space station economy This game lets you play as a living car This game is about testing the player's reflexes The features are what sets your game apart from others in the same genre. Start by listing your ideas and concepts. Turn those concepts into action-driven sentences. Shoot for between 5-15 features. For example:  Concept: space station construction. Feature: Build and manage your space station....

If you cannot consume dairy for any reason, this is a great frosting to use. You'll need:  125g soy or olive spread 500g icing sugar/confectioners sugar 80g cocoa powder 100ml soy, almond or rice milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or essence. Beat with an electric mixer until it turns creamy. Because the consistency of soy/olive spread is thinner than that of butter or stick margarine, you don't want to over-beat the spread. Doing so could thin it out too severely, causing your frosting to become too runny. Add half of the icing or confectioners sugar to the creamed spread. Add 2 tablespoons of the non-dairy milk. Beat again, until the mixture turns light and the volume grows. Add the rest of the icing or confectioners sugar, the cocoa powder, the remaining non-dairy milk and the vanilla. Beat more, until well combined. The resulting mixture should have a velvety, creamy texture.  Add a bit more non-dairy milk, 2 tsp (10 ml) at a time, if it's a little stiff. Similarly, add more sugar, 2 tsp (10 ml) at a time, if the frosting seems too thin. This frosting is suitable for those pursuing a dairy-free diet.

TL;DR in English: Gather the ingredients. Add the spread to a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and non-dairy milk. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Spread on the cake or cupcakes.

Urinating in the pool is one of the major ways that residential water illnesses get spread in pools. The urine released into the pool can contain bacteria and interfere with the pH of the pool. No matter how young your family members are, make sure that you explain that there should not be any peeing in the pool. Use an age appropriate explanation about why urinating in the pool not to be done. This can be harder to explain to younger children, but try to make it clear. In order to help prevent urinating or pooping in the pool, take a break from the pool once an hour. This will give you time to check and change the diapers on younger children and make your older children to go to the bathroom. Make sure you change your children's diapers away from the pool. You don't want to accidentally contaminate the water with germs. Water is the main way that you can get residential water illnesses. To avoid getting sick, make sure you do not swallow any pool water when you are playing in the pool. It is important to be well hydrated before getting into the pool to avoid swallowing pool water by accident. This can expose you to the bacteria and other germs in the water.  Make sure you tell your children to avoid doing this as well. Explain to them that the water can make them sick. Also avoid opening your eyes underwater. The intense water exposure can cause eye infections from the bacteria or germs. When you take your family to the pool, make sure you each wear a pair of flips flops or sandals that are easy to put on and take off. Wear them at all times when you're walking around the pool to keep your feet away from any germs, viruses, or bacteria that might cause skin irritations. If you don't, it can cause athlete’s foot and warts.

TL;DR in English: Forbid urinating in the pool. Take pool breaks. Do not swallow the water. Wear flip flops or sandals to the pool.

Compost needs nitrogen and carbon, as well as air and water, in order to function properly so try to make sure that there is an available balance of all four components in order to keep the pile working properly. Typical carbon-based ingredients for compost include straw, leaves, cardboard, and shredded newspapers. However, gardeners should only add black and white or grey newsprint because colored sheets may contain potentially toxic chemicals. Add some nitrogen-based fertilizer, such as blood meal or alfalfa pellets, to the compost pile from time to time to keep it working. This is especially helpful during cold periods. Nitrogen not only generates heat, it is part of a balanced diet for all microbes. Gardeners can also add kitchen scraps, such as vegetable peels and coffee grounds, for a higher nitrogen content if the pile stops decomposing like it should. Where possible, compost piles should be located in sunny places, as this will increase heat and speed up the decomposition process. Start the composting process in the garage, basement or nearby shed and eliminate some trips to the compost bin. Cooler temperatures will reduce the usual unpleasant odors. Simply place the compost materials in a large bucket or small garbage can and take them out to the compost pile once a week or whenever the container gets full. Layer kitchen scraps between layers of “browns” or paper products to help reduce odors. Diseased plant parts, dog manure, cat manure, coal ashes, and black walnut leaves should all be kept out of the compost pile because each of these things are known to be harmful in their own fashion. Meat and dairy products should also be kept out of the compost bin because they will certainly attract unwanted attention from neighborhood animals.

TL;DR in English: Make sure there is a balance of nitrogen, carbon, air and water in your compost pile. Add some carbon-based ingredients. Use a nitrogen-based fertilizer. Place your compost pile in a sunny location. Start your composting indoors. Know  which ingredients you shouldn't add to your compost.

If you are making wooden coasters, you may want your slices as thick as 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). If you’re making ornaments or other crafts, you might want slices closer to 0.125 inches (0.32 cm). Think about what thickness you need. When using a bandsaw to make thin, small slices from a tree branch, it's best to use a branch that is 6 inches (15 cm) or less in diameter. Different band saws have different capacities, however, so you may want to check the product manual first. Locate a piece of flat scrap wood (such as a 2 x 4). Use your tape measure to determine how far from the blade you need your branch to be. Clamp the piece of wood onto your bandsaw at that distance. The flat edge of the wood will act as a guide for your wood slices.  If you want your slices to be 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) thick, your branch needs to be 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the blade. If you are right-handed, clamp the guide onto the left side of your saw. If you are left-handed, clamp the guide onto the right side of your saw. Operating a saw and working around fine sawdust can be dangerous. Wear a dust mask or respirator to prevent yourself from breathing in the dust. Goggles will shield your eyes from dust and wood chips. A tree branch is not flat or smooth, which can make it more difficult to cut. Be sure you have a very firm grasp on the branch before you begin cutting. Stop and readjust your grip as needed. Sawing through a knot in the wood can be dangerous. Before you begin, evaluate the branch for knots. Skip over any places where knots are located. Do not attempt to saw through a knot. A knot is a circular area where the wood is condensed. Look for a circle shape that protrudes slightly from the branch. Hold your branch perpendicular to the blade, so that the top of the branch rests against your guide. Maintain a solid grip on the branch as you carefully slide it into the blade. Repeat this until you have enough slices.  You can also use a miter saw for this project, which may allow you to make more precise cuts. It really just depends...

Start a routine of planning out your weekly outcomes on Sunday night. Break down your weekly outcomes into daily outcomes, then list each day’s to-dos beneath them. This way you won’t be running behind as soon as the week starts anymore. Do this planning on paper or whiteboard so you can see what your goals are, rather than trying to tally them all in your mind. The key to an organized mind is writing things down so your brain doesn’t waste energy trying to contain them all. It’s great to have all your tasks and ideas out on paper, but you need to make them mobile and give them room to grow. Adding them to the calendar in your smart device will make the list an automated part of your life, and will provide a platform for you to easily add to it. If you set an alarm for each task, you will be reminded to stay on schedule. If you don’t carry a smartphone or tablet, transfer your new outcomes-and-tasks style of mind organization into your planner. For many of us, our smartphones have become our planners, but if you still carry a paper planner, be sure to get one with a big enough space for each day’s tasks. The advantage of a paper planner over a mobile device is that you just flip it open and everything is mapped out. With a smartphone, you’re having to access the calendar from an app, which means it’s easy to ignore your calendar if you feel like it—which will detract from maintaining an organized mind. At the end of the day when your outcomes have been accomplished, you will feel relieved instead of the way you used to feel—which was probably stressed.  There is evidence that the act of creating and crossing off a to-do list relieves the burden on our brains. Writing down your tasks and goals removes that distraction from your mind.  If you have not completely finished a task or accomplished an outcome at the end of the day or week, calculate an estimated percent of what has been accomplished and write it on your notepad or planner. Your brain will be able to relax even if the task isn’t fully accomplished in...

In order to calculate the correlation coefficient, you will need information on returns (daily price changes) for two stocks over the same period of time. Returns are calculated as the difference between the closing prices of the stock over two days of trading. For example, if a stock closed at $2.00 on Tuesday and $2.04 on Wednesday, this would represent a return of 2 percent.  Stock price information can be gathered from market-tracking websites, such as Bloomberg and Yahoo! Finance. Organize your returns as a sequence when you have your data, recording the two stocks in question as stock X and stock Y to simplify your calculations. For example, your data for stock X might be 0.9, 1.3, 1.7, 0.4, 0.7 over five days, while the data for Y is 2.5, 3.5, 3.6, 3.1, 2.3. Correlation coefficients can vary or even switch signs over time (from positive to negative), so the period of time you choose is important. Short-term traders may be fine using 20 or 50 days' worth of data, but longer-term investors will want to use 150 or 250. of each set. Find the average (the mean) of  your sets of stock returns by adding each them up and dividing by the number of days in your chosen period (n). The mean will be represented using the Greek letter μ{\displaystyle \mu }, with μx{\displaystyle \mu _{x}} representing the mean of the returns from stock X and μy{\displaystyle \mu _{y}} representing the mean of Y's returns.  Continuing with the previous example, the number of days, n, would be 5. This means that the mean of X's returns would be μx=0.9+1.3+1.7+0.4+0.75{\displaystyle \mu _{x}={\frac {0.9+1.3+1.7+0.4+0.7}{5}}}, or 1.0. Similarly, Y's returns would averageμy=2.5+3.5+3.6+3.1+2.35{\displaystyle \mu _{y}={\frac {2.5+3.5+3.6+3.1+2.3}{5}}}, or 3.0. . Covariance represents the relationship between two moving variables. If the variable increase or decrease at the same times, they are positively correlated and the covariance is positive. If they move opposite of each other, however, the covariance is negative.

After you've uploaded your ad and submitted to the site, questions are likely to come in from potential buyers. Answer each one as promptly and as honestly as you can. If, for example, a potential buyer messages you and asks “Has the fabric of the couch faded at all?” you might respond by saying, “Hello! There’s very minimal fading towards the center of each seat cushion, but nowhere else on the rest of the couch. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I’ll be happy to answer them for you.” Many buyers will expect to haggle with you. You can lower the price or stand firm on it as you see fit. Keep in mind, you may sell faster if you are willing to come down a bit on the price. Once you've completed all of your steps, you've hopefully found a buyer. You can complete the transaction if you both agree on the price. For safety's sake, make sure to always have a friend around when a buyer arrives. Potential buyers are more likely to be interested in your furniture piece and follow through with the sale if you offer a delivery option. Even if you aren’t able to offer delivery, it’s a good idea to let interested buyers know right away that the piece is pickup only, so that they don’t realize this later on and back out of the sale.  Don’t forget to charge a little extra for a delivery service. This is understandable and typically expected, as you’ll be taking your time and using your gas in order to deliver the piece. Additionally, double check the agreed upon time and place if you’re meeting the buyer somewhere to give them the piece.

TL;DR in English: Answer buyers' questions. Haggle as needed. Sell your item by agreeing on a price. Be clear about pickup and/or delivery options.

To bring focus to your lips and make them appear larger, it helps to use concealer to outline them. Use a very small concealer brush to carefully apply your favorite concealer around the edge of your lipliner. Make sure to carefully blend the concealer into your skin so it looks natural. This technique can also help clean up any mistakes you may have made when applying your lipliner or lipstick. Don’t just use your highlighter to accent your cheekbones -- dab a small amount of your favorite powder or cream highlighter on the small indentation above the center of your top lip known as the cupid’s bow. That will bring light to the area and help your lips appear fuller.  Blend well so the highlight looks natural. Make sure that you apply the highlighter all the way along the groove that runs from your cupid’s bow to the bottom of your nose. You can give the illusion of a fuller bottom lip by using contour powder. Use a small, fluffy brush to lightly dust contour powder or bronzer just beneath the edge of your lower lip. Make sure to blend well for a natural look.

Sleep deprivation can make it a lot harder to prevent your body from shaking. Try to get to bed around the same time every night. Get at least seven hours of sleep if you are an adult, and at least 9 if you are a teenager. If you only practice speaking when you're alone, you're more likely to get anxious when you deliver the speech to an audience. Get as many sessions in as you can in front of friends, family, colleagues, and small groups.  Practice a little every day, but on the night before you deliver the speech, don't practice. Just relax. If you notice that there's a section of the speech that makes you the most nervous, practice it extra. For instance, if you always get nervous right at the beginning, devote extra practice time to the beginning. If you can, spend some time in the place you will give your speech. Practice there if you can. If the location is in your workplace or school, visit it frequently to practice. Relax there as well. If the location won't be accessible until the day of the speech, try to come a little early so you can acclimate to the environment. In the days before the speech, and on the day itself, avoid stressors. Don't talk to anyone who makes you anxious. Take some "me time" every day to do things that relax you, like taking a hot bath, reading a book, or watching a comedy. Running and other forms of vigorous movement can use up your extra adrenaline. Try taking a jog, going for a rapid bike ride, or even dancing out your nerves on the morning before you present. If you can't do something vigorous, take a brisk walk instead. Write down what makes you nervous about a speech. Consider each of them individually. What's the worst that could happen in each case? If it happens, what will you do?  For instance, if you're scared that you'll forget what to say next, think, "I'll just pause and look at my notes." This technique may not work if you are prone to catastrophic thinking. If you are someone who tends to worry about the worst case scenario, don't try this method. Generally...

In anticipation of passport processing times, apply for your passport as soon as possible. Passport applications can be completed online and printed, or you can obtain one from a United States post office that has passport acceptance services.  If you already have a passport but it will expire while you are working in Canada, go ahead and update it before you leave to avoid any future headaches. Many people move to Canada with a 4-year visa, so keep that in mind when reviewing yours. If you need to expedite your passport, you can request and pay for a faster application processing service. If you have family moving with you to Canada, make sure to get their passports and documents arranged, too. You can do this several months before you move to Canada. In fact, doing so is recommended, so you can start building a good credit rating there. To get started, contact the local bank to your future province in Canada. These banks can even have new debit cards waiting for you when you arrive in Canada and they can help you with transferring your funds from your current country to your new Canadian bank account. Before moving from your home country, don’t forget to close down all of your open accounts, including your internet provider services, electricity and other utilities, and whatever else you may have open.  Don’t forget to cancel your current subscriptions and arrange to have your mail forwarded to your new address before you leave. Start making your travel arrangements as soon as you are able to. If you plan to fly, there are airlines that offer discounted one-way air fare for people moving to Canada, so look into that possibility. The decision will be made based on what type of visa you’ve secured. If you’re driving, start planning your route, research which checkpoint you will go through when crossing the border, and begin making preparations to get through border patrol smoothly. You can obtain this information through CIC’s website.

TL;DR in English: Obtain or update your passport early. Open a Canadian bank account. Settle your finances. Book your flight or plan your drive.

You should never engage in a new fitness plan without talking to a doctor or trainer first. You want to make sure your body is ready for the added strain of extra, harder workouts. A qualified doctor or licensed trainer can help you come up with a training plan that works for your specific needs. You should always warm up before a run. This can help prevent muscle strain, soreness, and injury. Take 5 or 10 minutes to engage in a solid warm up before you jump into your regular run.  To start, walk for two to five minutes. Then do a slow run for about half a mile, taking frequent walking breaks. When you begin running, go slowly for the first 10 steps to help your body warm up. Then, increase to your regular pace. Never stop abruptly after finishing a run. You should always transition from running to light jogging and then to walking. For 10 minutes after your run, jog slowly with walk breaks. Then, walk for about three to five minutes to allow your body to cool down.

TL;DR in English: Talk to a doctor or trainer before starting a new fitness plan. Warm up prior to workouts. Cool down after workouts.

You can do this easily if you're doing a quick coverage of gray hair and if the shade varies only slightly from your natural color. Anything more complicated should be handled at a salon.  Rub petroleum jelly around your hairline to keep the dye from staining your skin. Set your timer per the directions on the dye package. Wash the color out immediately and all at once when the timer goes off. If you plan to visit a salon for a dye job, then do not use box dyes. They contain harsh chemicals that can damage your hair.   Deep condition your hair a couple of days before your appointment. Moisturizing your hair will help it to hold color better. Also, if you can hold off, don't shampoo on the day of your appointment.  Bring a picture. You can tell your stylist "strawberry blonde," but he or she might have a very different vision of what that means than you do. A picture clarifies what you want. Keep your hair healthy and moisturized. Dry hair loses color quickly. Protect your hair when you head outside in the sun. Wear a hat or a scarf, or put your hair into a braid or a knot. You can also use products that contain SPF.

Mix 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water in a clean bucket or sink. Make sure that there is enough liquid to completely cover the shrunken wool item. Put the shrunken wool in the vinegar and water bath and mix the water around to agitate it. Then let the wool soak for about 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, take the wool item out of the bath and squeeze it gently to release excess water. Press it with a clean, dry towel to absorb more water. Use your hands to stretch small sections of the shrunken wool until you have stretched the whole garment. Finish by stretching the garment top to bottom and side to side until it is back to its original dimensions. Once the wool is back to its original size, air dry the wool item by hanging it up on a drying rack. After drying, your wool garment or cloth will be as good as new.

TL;DR in English: Create a vinegar and water bath. Place the wool item in the solution for 25 minutes. Take the wool out of the bath. Stretch the wool with your hands. Air dry the wool.

For instance, a yew log can yield experience points for buyers who want to stretch bows, or it can be used to make fires. Items with more flexible uses will always be in demand. You want to trade items that people cannot access as easily, but you also want to avoid low supplies of rare items. Also, you want items that everyone needs, not just items for a niche of highly-skilled players. Because buy limits will only allow you to purchase a certain number of items per day, buy something that is more expensive as opposed to a cheaper item. A 5 percent return on 1,000GP is not as high as a 5% return on 10,000 GP. Just be sure not to spend all of your assets on 1 item. If you want to buy and hold, pick items that rise gradually in price. If you want to take a risk, buy an item that fluctuates rapidly in price. Just remember that more volatility means both more chance for wealth and more risk for loss.

TL;DR in English: Choose items with multiple uses. Consider supply and demand. Pick an item that allows you to invest a significant amount of capital. Balance your patience with the item's volatility.

In a quick free write, describe the academic journey of the article, listing the steps taken from starting point to concluding results, describing methodology and the form of the study undertaken.There is no need to be too specific; that's what the actual summary will be for. When you're first getting started, it's helpful to turn your filter off and just quickly write out what you remember from the article. These will help you discover the main points necessary to summarize. You might refer to these as the main supporting ideas, or sections, of the article. While these may be marked clearly with subheadings, they may require more work to uncover. Anything that's a major point used to support the main argument of the author needs to be present in the summary.  Depending on the research, you may want to describe the theoretical background of the research, or the assumptions of the researchers. In scientific writing, it's important to clearly summarize the hypotheses the researchers outlined before undertaking the research, as well as the procedures used in following through with the project. Summarize briefly any statistical results and include a rudimentary interpretation of the data for your summary. In humanities articles, it's usually good to summarize the fundamental assumptions and the school of thought from which the author comes, as well as the examples and the ideas presented throughout the article. Make sure all the major keywords that are used in the article make it into your summary. It's important that you fully examine the meanings of these more complicated terms so that your summary reader can grasp the content as you move forward with the summary. Any words or terms that the author coins need to be included and discussed in your summary. Journal summaries don't need to be anywhere close to the length of the articles themselves. The purpose of the summary is to provide a condensed but separate description of the research, either for use for the primary research collector, or to help you redigest...

TL;DR in English: Write down a brief description of the research. Decide what aspects of the article are most important. Identify key vocabulary to use in the summary. Aim to keep it brief.

Now that you’ve finished creating your instrumental track, it’s time to save it as an MP3 file. ” Now you’ll see a few options for changing MP3-specific details. This is a matter of preference. A higher bit rate MP3 will take up more hard drive space but sound much better. A low bit rate means a smaller file, but it won’t sound as good. Note that since you’re editing a compressed file, you will lose a bit of quality in this process.  For a small file that still sounds amazing, set Bit Rate Mode to “Variable” and select “Best Quality.” This option should work great for almost anyone. If you’re not worried about file size and need the highest possible quality, set the Bit Rate Mode to “Preset” and Quality to 320kbps. This will give you the best quality file Audacity can make. If your goal is the tiniest file possible, set the Bit Rate Mode to “Variable” and choose anything lower than “3” (155-195 kbps). Browse to the folder where you’d like to save the file. ” Audacity will now create your MP3 file and save it to the location you specified. Once the file is saved, you’ll be able to play it any application that supports MP3 files.

Opt for one-syllable words when possible, since these can make your last sentence hold more weight. Additionally, they help you create a feeling of finality.  You might write, "With more funds, the park can give each child a chance to learn and grow." Each of these words contains just one syllable, but it conveys an important final note about the importance of the author's ideas about funding the park. Don’t spend too much time and effort trying to find a one-syllable synonym for every word in the sentence. This isn’t a hard and fast rule—the idea is just to write a concise, punchy sentence. A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses (or sentences) joined together with a coordinating conjunction, which are your FANBOYS. A parallel sentence includes the repetition, or listing, of words or phrases that have the same grammatical structure. For example, "Kate likes reading, writing, and studying."  FANBOYS is an acronym for the conjunctions "for," "and," "nor," "but," "or," "yet," and "so." If you're using a compound sentence, you might write, "The dog food donation program can collect as many as 2,000 bags of food per year, and each shelter will have enough food for every dog." If you're using a parallel structure, write, "The dog food donation program can collect food, feed dogs, and save lives." " Using clichés like these is a big turn-off for readers. They already know they're reading your conclusion because they've reached the end of your paper, so this may feel redundant. These phrases are more appropriate for an oral presentation. Switching tones at the end of your paper can unsettle or confuse your reader, as it will seem out of place. Make sure your attitude toward your topic and the formality of your writing remain the same throughout your paper. For instance, you might think an emotional, dramatic ending will linger with your reader longer. However, that’s not an effective strategy if the body of your paper is logical or analytical. Never bring up a new idea or topic in your conclusion,...

TL;DR in English: Choose simple, one-syllable words for a greater impact. Use a compound or parallel sentence to create a balanced ending. Avoid using opening phrases like "in conclusion" or "in summary. Use the same tone as you did throughout the rest of your paper. Refer only to information you included in your paper. Keep your evidence in the body of your paper. Avoid apologizing for what you’ve written.

When you encounter a problem, stop and think about all possible solutions. Before you begin asking anyone for help, take some time to determine exactly what kind of help you need. A concise call for something specific will always garner better results than a general plea for assistance.  If you are seeking monetary donations, think very carefully about the specific amount you need, and exactly how it would be spent. If you are looking for professional advice, determine the precise question you need to ask. Rather than simply explaining your problem, try to devise a practical solution you can ask for. People are much more likely to help if they feel like you’re doing some of the work. Use the internet or talk to people you know to learn more about your unique problem, as well as what could solve it.  For example, if you need help paying your mortgage, be sure you have investigated all refinancing options and state or federal programs that could help you. Begin with a simple internet search of your problem and read all you can about other people who have been in your shoes, as well as possible solutions to your problem. Some requests are best made in person, others are better over email, and still others are best communicated en masse through social media or other online platforms (such as Facebook, Reddit, or Go Fund Me). Think about how your inquiry will work best.  Do you need to speak to a specific person or would you rather speak to many people at once? Are you able to schedule a meeting and speak to someone? Are you comfortable blasting your situation on the internet? Whether you intend to use the internet or approach someone in person, think about who your target audience is. Who is most likely to respond to your request? Furthermore, make sure you know why you are choosing to reach out to that person (or people). If you can express your motive for choosing them specifically, people are much more likely to help.  Is it a professional acquaintance, or someone whose work you admire? Is it a specific online...

TL;DR in English: Determine what you need. Conduct some research. Determine the best mode of communication. Find the best person (or people) to reach out to.

Credit sales are distinct from cash sales in that the customer is not required to make a full payment on the date of sale. Instead, they purchase their order on account and are allowed a set amount of time in which to make payments. From a business's perspective, this transaction is recorded as revenue, even though payment has not been received. In addition, the amount of the sale is added to "Accounts Receivable," an asset account that records the amount of money owed to the business by its customers. When orders are paid for, the Accounts Receivable account is reduced for the amount of the order and cash is increased. The simplest method used to find total credit sales is to maintain your Accounts Receivable account and to update it for each sale made on credit. This method is most accurate as it accommodates for changing product prices as well as all cash sales. If you want a total for annual or quarterly credit sales, you can simply start recording a credit sales amount at the beginning of that period. Then, each time you update accounts receivable, you can add to the sale amount to your credit sales amount for that period. Remember that sales tax is included in credit sales amounts. Total sales can be calculated as number of goods sold multiplied by the selling price. However, this can be complex if you offer different products at different prices. For example: If a company sold 100 unites of laptops at $100 a piece, its sales would be 100×100=$10,000{\displaystyle 100\times 100=\$10,000}.  To calculate credit sales, start by finding the cash received. Lets assume that the customers on an average paid $60 in cash for those 100 laptops, so cash received would be $6000. Then, you can calculate credit sales by reducing total sales by total cash received. The credit sales would be equal to total sales minus cash received, which in this example is $10000−$6000=$4000{\displaystyle \$10000-\$6000=\$4000}. The initial value at the start of the year can be seen from the balance sheet of the company. Let's assume...

TL;DR in English: Understand credit sales. Sum up individual credit sales. Calculate credit sales from total sales. Calculate credit sales from accounts receivables.

Using a test phone call is one of the more reliable indicators as to whether or not someone has blocked you. If you hear exactly one ring and are then sent to voicemail, you may have been blocked. Just because your call goes straight to voicemail doesn't mean you have been blocked. Your contact's phone may be dead. If you receive the same result after calling a couple times, it's a good indicator that the person you're trying to reach has blocked you or has a dead phone. Users are not notified if they are receiving a phone call from a blocked number.

Similar to a point spread in football, the run line is how many runs a team will win by; however, the MLB runline will usually be set at 1.5. The odds will be set based on this number. In some cases there will be alternative run lines set at 2.5 or more. For example, a runline can be seen as Seattle -1 1/2 +140. This means that Seattle must win by at least two or more runs for you to win your bet. The +140 represents the payout odds so if you bet $100, you will win $140. Runlines are different than totals and moneylines. Evenly matched teams may payout better odds but be difficult to handicap. Pitching is a good starting point for your game analysis. Make note of alternate runlines as those are runlines that have been flipped. This makes the favourite the underdog and vice versa. In certain scenarios, like when you feel the underdog has a good chance of covering the runline, you can increase your payout. For example: Team Moneyline Runline Alternate Runline New York Yankees -150 -1.5 (-110) +1.5 (-250) Seattle Mariners +140 +1.5 (+100) -1.5 (+220) Wagering -1.5 on Seattle you receive +220 rather than +100 on a +1.5 runline. Find a legal sports book at your location or online. Keep in mind that most sportsbook set the Runline at 1.5 so research which sportsbook gives the best payout.

TL;DR in English: Understand the runline. Strategize before placing your bet. Place your bet.

To start the last phase of the game, the draw pile must be emptied. When it is, don't shuffle. You simply stop drawing from the middle. When you can no longer draw, you rely solely on your hand. Keep playing out of it until there are no cards left in your hand. If you can't play, you still have to pick up the discard pile and put it in your hand. Remember, you have to play a card if you can. When it's your turn and you don't have a hand, play one card from your face-up cards. If you have multiple cards of the same rank, such as 2 jacks, you can play them both at the same time. If you can't play a card, you follow the same rule as before and pick up the discard pile. Once you pick up a pile, you must play all of those before playing from your cards on the table. When it's your turn and you've played all your face-up cards, pick a card that's face-down on the table. Don't look at it to choose. Simply flip it over. If it plays on the current card by being equal or higher, you can play it. If not, you must pick up the discard pile. If you pick up the discard pile, you must play those before continuing to play your face-down cards. You must play all your face-up and face-down cards to win the game. The first person to do so ends the game. The game can continue after the first person is out, but it's more fun to start another game instead.

TL;DR in English: Deplete the draw pile completely. Play until your hand runs out. Move to your face-up cards when you run out of cards in your hand. Play your face-down cards to finish the game. Play all of your cards first to win.

In a large bowl, pour 8 ounces of glue. Add food coloring. Stir well. If the mixture is paler than you like, add more food coloring and stir again. Pour 8 ounces of liquid starch into the glue mixture. Stir well until the consistency is even. Then let it rest for 5 minutes so the starch can be absorbed. If the texture seems to be uneven and lumpy, continue stirring. Line a surface area with parchment paper. Remove the mixture from the bowl. Knead the flarp on the paper for five minutes or so, until its texture is consistently smooth and stretchy. Let it rest for ten minutes or so, and then it’s ready to play with!

TL;DR in English: Mix glue and coloring. Add liquid starch. Knead the mixture.

As part of your accounting process, you need to perform an annual stocktaking exercise to determine the value of your inventory.  This means making a list, or inventory, of your stock, noting its location and recording its value.  Tools such as barcodes or radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags help you to keep track of your stock.  You can keep track manually by having staff physically count the stock or electronically with stock control software. This is an important part of inventory management, so you will need to develop a schedule for cycle counting. Many inventory management software systems make it easy to cycle count by category or subcategory, so make sure to prepare what you plan to count each time. Each time you perform a cycle count, you will need to:  Close out any open inventory transactions. Restock all of your overstock, understock, or backstock. Account for all of the received purchase orders and inbound transfers in your system. Put away all items. Close and invoice all completed customer orders. Manual systems work best for small businesses with few stock items.  You can choose from two methods for manual inventory control.  The first is known as the two bin inventory control system.  The second system involves creating a descriptive index and using inventory control cards.  For the two bin system, determine a buying cycle for items and the amount purchased in each cycle.  For example, offices may purchase office supplies weekly or monthly.  To begin, purchase enough of the item to last two buying cycles.  Divide the items into two bundles.  When the first bundle is used up, it's time to reorder enough for one buying cycle of the item.  Materials from the second bundle are used while the materials are being reordered. For the second system, create an index that lists all of the items in inventory and a file of cards for each item.  On each card, record an item description.  When an item is purchased or reordered, someone records the amount received, the unit price and other information...

TL;DR in English: Perform regular stocktaking. Make sure to include cycle counting. Use a manual method. Use computer software.

Giving up on something you want can be frightening, but actually doing so can be a relief. Unconsciously, you've been motivated to pursue him—he's been your goal. Make a conscious decision to no longer pursue him. It may help to write this down, to tell a friend, or even to hold a small ceremony for yourself.  Consider gathering things you have that make you think of him and putting them in a box, throwing them away, or giving them away. Once your private space is cleared of reminders, consider holding a small cleansing ceremony. Burn some sage incense and walk through your room or your home.  When a wish for him comes up, don't suppress it and don't cling to it. Acknowledge how you feel, but remind yourself that you are choosing to move on. Don't push away feelings of sadness when they come. It's totally natural and healthy to be sad when you have feelings for someone and it doesn't work out. Take a week or a few weeks to grieve. Cry if you can: if your feelings are hurt, you are actually hurt, and you will do better to acknowledge it. Crying can be extremely therapeutic.  Listen to music that lets you feel your feelings. Exercise. It helps to clear your mind and you will be healthier. Write in a diary if you have one. Write a letter to him if you want. Keep it for a week or two before you give it to him, or don't give it to him at all. The point is to get your feelings out. Go on some long walks by yourself. You'll have time to think, and you'll feel better for the exercise. Know when to stop. If you're dropping the people and projects that matter to you, you're grieving too much. Consult a therapist if you can't get back into your normal life. Did he lead you on, acting like he liked you for attention? Did you pursue him relentlessly even after he let you know that it wasn't going to work? Was everyone honest and considerate, or was bad behavior involved? If you feel like you misbehaved, apologize.  If you feel like he did something wrong, and you're friends, consider letting him know that you feel hurt....

TL;DR in English: Release your hope for him. Grieve. Evaluate his behavior and your own. Remind yourself of things you didn't like about him.

Cut the lemon in half, from tip to tip. This makes a more flexible lemon peel, easier to squeeze. If you have a hinge-style hand juicer cut them crosswise instead for a better fit. The mesh will catch the lemon seeds and pulp, letting the juice drain through. An all-purpose juicer will put a great deal of bitter pith in your juice, and its metal blades may corrode over time. Buy a specialized citrus juicer for better results.  If using an all-purpose juicer, peel the lemon first or wash it thoroughly to remove trace pesticides. Many experts agree that hand-squeezed juice tastes better, possibly because an electric machine scrapes away too much pith, or fails to break out flavorful oils from the peel.

TL;DR in English: Cut the lemon lengthwise. Place a mesh strainer over a bowl. Buy an electric citrus juicer for large quantities.

Your non-padded bra should fit comfortably and correctly. Wearing a padded bra while taking the measurement can prevent an accurate measurement. If you don’t have a non-padded bra, you can purchase a cheap one at stores like Walmart and Target. Take the inch side of a measuring tape and place it firmly around your body just underneath your breasts and below your armpits. Keep your arms as close as possible to your body to get an accurate measurement of your band size. If this becomes too difficult for you to do yourself, ask a friend to help. Look in the mirror to make sure that the tape is parallel to the floor along your back and breasts. You shouldn’t have any fingers underneath the measuring tape. To get the most accurate band size, round the number up to the closest whole number and then add five to allow room for the increase in bust size as your pregnancy progresses. For instance, if the measurement you obtain is 39.5 inches (100.3 cm), rounding up to the nearest whole number is 40. Adding 5 inches (12.7 cm) would mean that your band size is 45 inches (114.3 cm).
