Use a spoon or fork to break up any clumps of rice. Set the bowl aside on the counter and wait! Let your rice soak until the water takes on a milky, semi-opaque appearance. That milky appearance indicates that some of the rice's inositol has been released into the water.

Purchase some rice. Combine the rice with 2-3 cups of water in a bowl. Soak the rice in the water for about 15-30 minutes. Stir the rice water a couple of times while it soaks. Strain out the rice and set the water aside. Transfer the rice water into a decorative or practical container.

Salicylic acid shampoos can help your scalp psoriasis by helping to remove the excess skin and scales of scalp psoriasis. The salicylic acid shampoo may cause the skin on your scalp to swell, then soften and peel off. There are certain situations where you should not use salicylic acid shampoos. These are situations where salicylic acid may cause you harm. Talk to your doctor before using salicylic acid if:  You are pregnant, nursing, or may become pregnant You are taking any other medications for psoriasis You are taking any herbs, supplements, non-prescription medicines, unless you have been cleared by a doctor You have any open sores or cuts on your scalp You are allergic to any of the ingredients You have any kidney or liver issues, diabetes, a skin irritation, skin infection, or poor blood circulation You have a history of Reye syndrome If you are under the age of 18 If you are on ammonium sulfate, heparin/warfarin, steroids, methotrexate, aspirin, or sulfonylureas There are two different types of salicylic acid shampoos you can use. The first is over the counter shampoo. To use this, apply the shampoo to a dry scalp. Starting with five minutes, let the shampoo sit on your hair and scalp. Then rinse your hair thoroughly and wash your hair with non-medicated shampoo and conditioner.  You can increase the leave in time for this shampoo up to one hour at a time. Just gradually increase the time in small increments. There are some other over the counter products that have lower amounts of salicylic acid as well as lactic acid, urea, or phenol that you can also try if the straight salicylic shampoo is too much for your mild psoriasis. Follow the instructions on the back of the bottle to know how often to use this shampoo. It will depend on the strength of the concentration of the salicylic acid in your shampoo. Once you have washed your hair with over the counter salicylic shampoo, you can use any additional non-medicated shampoo on your hair. This will help reduce any residual flaking on your scalp and help...

TL;DR in English: Learn how salicylic acid works. Avoid salicylic acid shampoo in certain situations. Use over the counter salicylic acid shampoo. Wash with regular, non-medicated shampoo. Try prescription strength salicylic shampoo.

If your cake is stuck in the pan, slide a sharp knife between the pan and the edge of the cake all the way around. Use your hands to whack the sides and bottom of the pan a bit to help release the cake, then leave it to cool for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, try to turn out the cake again. If it still comes out a mess, see the suggestions above for turning it into trifle, cake balls, or another broken-cake recipe. with a sharp knife. Sometimes, your cake may rise unevenly. If that's happened to you and you want an even top, just use a sharp bread knife to cut off the uneven part. You now have an even and smooth top for frosting. Warm cake layers are more likely to crumble or tear. If you're trying to cut layers in half, leave them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to cool down, then try again.

TL;DR in English: Release a cake from the pan with a knife. Level an uneven cake Refrigerate cake layers if they tear when you try to cut them. Finished.

There is a clear difference between being aggressive in a negative and being assertive. Often, people who are aggressive end up being bullies. Being a bully means you act self-righteous or superior and have no regard for the needs, feelings, and opinions of others. Bullying others will only lead to conflict and negativity in your life, not respect. You should try to keep your aggression in check so it does not turn into bullying. Though you may feel a momentary sense of power as a bully, it will ultimately only lead to resentment and anger from others. This resentment could then cause people to avoid you or oppose you. You can also channel aggression into developing healthy habits like positive communication, becoming assertive instead. Positive communication means you practice active listening and always consider the thoughts and opinions of others. You should also try to take your ego out of any discussion or conversation and focus instead on how you can support those around you. Practicing active listening means not interrupting others when they are speaking and maintaining eye contact with the speaker. Once the speaker is done, you should repeat back what she said in your own words to show you were listening and paying attention. Then, you can respond to the speaker in a positive and open way. Displaying empathy for others means putting your ego aside and focusing on how others are feeling or what they are experiencing. Doing this will show that you can be assertive and strong willed without walking on the needs of others. Showing empathy for others is often a sign of confidence and maturity. For example, you may have an employee who is struggling with an illness in the family. You may then show empathy for the employee by approving his request for time off and checking in with the employee on a consistent basis to make sure he has everything he needs. Showing the employee compassion and empathy will show that you can be a considerate boss. Another way you can channel aggression into something productive...

TL;DR in English: Do not bully others. Use positive communication. Display empathy for others. Mediate conflicts.

While any type of rice will work, the most frequently used are white rice or long-grain brown rice. Whatever you have in the house is fine! Measure out ½ cup of rice and rinse it to remove any dust or impurities. Set the bowl aside on the counter and wait! Let your rice soak until the water takes on a milky, semi-opaque appearance. That milky appearance indicates that some of the rice's inositol has been released into the water. Inositol is a carbohydrate that gives rice water its milky appearance. When used on your hair, some research suggests that inositol helps protect your locks and add shine. Use a spoon or fork to break up any clumps of rice. Once the water has a cloudy or milky look to it, it should be good to go. Double check to make sure that the water does not have any lingering rice in it. Another way to do this is to boil the rice/water mixture. Just follow the same steps as soaking, but use slightly more water and strain out the rice once the water starts to boil. Allow it to cool to room temperature before using. It is now ready to use!

Spend a good amount of time nailing down what your game is before you touch a line of code. What genre is it? Is it 2D or 3D? Does the player progress in the game by solving puzzles, following/creating the story, fighting enemies, and/or exploring? The more questions you answer and the more detail you give your ideas, the more time you'll save in the long run. If you decide to make a major change after you've already started coding, the change can take many times longer to implement. Pare this down to something way, way simpler than your original idea. A small prototype that explores how your game works and gives a couple levels to play is an excellent start. Once it’s finished, you can use it as a foundation to expand into a full game, or incorporate what you learned into a new project. At this point, there are weeks or months of hard but rewarding work ahead of you. While a team of people will generally divide up the tasks below and work on them simultaneously, an individual will have to decide which task is easiest to start with or most important at each stage. Read through all the steps below and start on the task that appeals to you most. Unless you're making at text-base game, you'll need 2D images, and possibly 3D models and textures (patterns you apply to the models). Music and sound effects you can delay until a bit later in the process, but they are highly recommended if you plan to publish your game. Simple icons, user interface, and fonts are lowest-priority when your game is young, but a little effort here can greatly improve the player experience.  There are many places to find free or cheap art assets online. Try this list at makeschool.com. Hiring an artist will make a big difference. If you can't afford to, gather the assets yourself and show the result to artistic friends or post it to game development or art forums online for advice. Much of this will be written as planning documents outside the game code itself, although a story-based game may need to include branching dialogue trees. Even...

Write about how oil spills have affected local businesses in your community or the communities in your country or region. Include statistics in your letter to support your information. Also ask your representative what their stance on the issue is and if they are doing anything to address it. Visit the websites of local candidates to find out where they stand on environmental issues like renewable energy. If they have a track record of voting for policies to protect the environment and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, help put them in office by voting for them. There are many non-profits groups and organizations fighting to reduce the world’s dependency on oil through the use of renewable energy.  Support an organization like Center for American Progress, 350.org, The Environmental Working Group, or the Sierra Club by joining and volunteering. If you do not have the time to join or volunteer for an environmental protection organization, you can help support them financially. Donate money to Green Peace, Oceana, or 350.org. Donate on a monthly or annual basis, or whenever you have extra money. Oil spills around the world have alerted citizens to the dangers of offshore drilling. Find a petition by typing “offshore drilling petition” in your search engine. A results list full of sites that have petitions will appear. To sign a petition, you will need to enter your name and email address. Sign reputable organizations' petitions like Oceanic Preservation Society, Ocean Conservancy, Team ORCA, and Oceana.

TL;DR in English: Write a letter to your local or state representatives about preventing oil spills. Vote for candidates that prioritize the environment. Join a non-profit environmental group to raise awareness. Donate money to non-profit organizations that work to prevent oil spills. Sign a petition to stop offshore drilling.

Use the style guide assigned to you by your professor to format a works cited list for your essay. This citation list is typically its own page at the end of the essay. Here you will list all the sources you used to find quotes or other relevant materials presented in your work.  Depending upon your style guide, a primary citation of a book from your list may look something like this: “Mike Wilson, A History of Cats (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8.” Examples of common style guides include the Chicago Manual of Style, the Turabian Citation Guide, and the AMA Manual of Style. For now, don’t treat sources repeated in the list any differently from one another. Simply focus on creating a proper citation for each work. Look over your list and notice which sources repeat often. Use a highlighter to mark the first time a citation for a specific work appears in your list. If a source only appears on your list once, you don’t need to worry about using ibid, as there are no subsequent references. Look to the citation immediately after your primary citation. If it’s the same, or the same other than the page number, choose the appropriate version of ibid to use.  So if you have the citation “Mike Wilson, A History of Cats (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8.” and the citation immediately following is the same, you can change that second citation of the Wilson book to, “Ibid.” If the citation following that primary citation of the Wilson book is to page 9 of the book instead of page 8, change the second citation to "Ibid., 9.” Look for places where citations to the same source repeat, but with other citations in between them. In these cases, you’ll create a secondary citation for the repeating instances. Depending on your chosen style guide, you'll write a secondary citation as something like the author’s name, a comma, the page number, and then a period.  Let’s say an unrelated citation appears between a primary reference to page 8 of the Wilson book and a second identical reference to the...

TL;DR in English: Consult your style guide to create a works cited list. Identify primary citations. Use “Ibid.” or “Ibid., [page number].” for immediate repeats after primary citations. Create secondary citations when sources repeat non-consecutively. Use “Ibid.” when secondary citations immediately repeat.

Just as light can stimulate your brain and make it difficult to fall asleep, it can also make it difficult to stay asleep throughout the night. Block out any sources of light that may be causing your insomnia.   Close any blinds, shutters, or curtains in your bedroom. Wearing a sleep mask or putting another aid such as a pillowcase over your eyes can obstruct light. Turn off any electronics or devices so that they aren’t emitting any light that can wake you. Disruptive noises can not only keep you from falling asleep, but also cause insomnia. Dampen any noises that may disrupt your sleep.  Turn off the sound and vibration functions of electronics and devices.  Wear earplugs to block noise. Listen to white noise. The ambient sounds of elements such as a fan or a speaker that plays ocean sounds may keep you asleep and dampen disruptive noises.  Place carpets in your room to dampen noise. Exercising elevates your body temperature and blood pressure and it takes time for your body to come down from this. Get your exercise early in the day, which has the double benefit of helping you fall and stay asleep.  Exercise at least three hours before you begin winding down. This will help your temperature and cortisol levels return to normal.  An additional benefit to exercising in the morning: your body's metabolism is running a bit higher all day long, so you are burning more calories throughout the day than you normally would. Caffeine and alcohol are two primary causes of insomnia. Limit your intake of both and only consume them well before you begin your wind-down and go to bed.  Don’t drink caffeinated beverages after noon.  Limit yourself to no more than one alcoholic drink at least four hours before bedtime. Finish eating your dinner several hours before your bedtime. Heavy, late and spicy meals can cause indigestion and insomnia.  Eat at least three hours before your bedtime.  Avoid heavy or very spicy meals, which can cause indigestion that leads to frequent bathroom trips.  Have a light snack, such as yogurt or...

Understand that the presence or absence of a higher power has no effect on your moral code, unless he or she were to provide a code that is superior to one that you can deduce on your own.  In this case, a moral and logical atheist would accept such a code without question.  However, despite its godly origin, such an atheist would still recognize the value in questioning this divine moral code in order to potentially obtain even greater moral right.  If such as divine code is perfect, then questioning it only serves to support its greatness and make it stronger.  As such, one should never fear questioning a moral code. If a modern human were to stone to death an adolescent for not honoring his/her father and mother, we would certainly think him/her immoral.  Yet, these are the prescribed punishments for such acts, according to Abrahamic texts found in the Old Testament. Since modern humans do not follow their religious texts to the letter, they must have some method for determining which prescriptions to follow and which to discard, which is ultimately where our morals come from. Ask yourself -- is this action "good" because God tells us to do it, or is it simply a good thing to do. If the action is only good because God says so, then morality is nothing more than a checklist, and there are likely few Christians who believe that murder is moral just because someone talked back to their father. When something is a requirement, it's not actually moral anymore. Morality is about choice -- deciding to the right thing amongst many options. But if you're only doing the right thing because a religious leader or text told you to, or because you're scared of the consequences of hell, you're not actually being moral. You're being a sheep. Never forget that the mass murders of the Spanish Inquisition and Crusades were considered "moral" because they were apparently backed up by the Bible. But anyone stepping back to think for themselves would have realized very quickly that senseless violence is never a good moral...

TL;DR in English: Understand that the human intellect is the greatest tool that we yet know and that your rationale is important. Note that morality does not come from religion, but from communities who interpret religion. Remember that true moral goodness occurs because you want to help, not because you have to. Consider many of the clearly immoral positions of religions throughout history. Understand that highly religious communities often have higher rates of violence and crime. Note that atheists tend to be less prejudiced, hateful, and against limited rights for minorities. Remember to still accept the good of religious thinking and morality.

Temptation is all about self-control, and tempting situations are often about the conflict between immediate gratification and long-term goals. For example, if you're on a diet, you may be tempted to eat a delicious piece of cheesecake that's beckoning you from the deli case. Immediate gratification would result from giving in to temptation and eating the cheesecake. However, giving in would also interfere with your long-term goal of becoming more healthy by avoiding high-sugar foods.  As another example, if you're already in a relationship, become aware of people that might tempt you to cheat. These people may be old acquaintances that have come back into your life, your co-workers, or people that you interact with in private settings. However, temptation isn't always this obvious. For example, say you're a business professional and you're tempted to knock off early on a Friday afternoon a few days a month. A couple of early departures don't seem like a big deal, but this could represent to your employer that you can't be trusted with responsibility, which could jeopardize long-term goals such as promotion and advancement. Make it easier to deal with temptation by getting away from what tempts you. For instance, if you're trying to quit smoking, avoid places that you frequently smoked. You may even want to avoid people that you usually smoked with.  If you're tempted to drink, the annual work party at the bar will probably challenge your determination. Stay alert for potential temptations and avoid them when possible. This way, you won't be caught off-guard and you'll always be prepared to deal with temptations.  If you can't completely remove yourself from a situation or person, try to manage the situation so that it's more difficult to act on your temptation. For example, if you're tempted to cheat with a friend, avoid one-on-one situations. Always meet in a group, if you have to see the person. If you're refusing something or someone that's tempting you, don't feel guilty or like you need to lie. Be...

TL;DR in English: Recognize potential temptation. Remove yourself from temptation. Be honest. Visualize yourself resisting temptation. Think of the long-term consequences. Distract yourself. Do not give yourself a choice.

Average print speed settings will range from 5 to 20 pages-per-minute (ppm). The optimum quality speed setting is typically among the speed setting options in the speed adjustment control menu on the printer. Increase the print speed to reduce color saturation when images and graphics bleed and warp from over saturation. Decrease the print speed to raise the color saturation when colors seem washed out or faded. These settings can usually be adjusted from the "Print" menu or on the printer's control panel. Choose the highest dots-per-inch (dpi) setting. Depending on the device specifications, the dpi settings will range from 72 to 2400 dpi. The dpi setting will have a dramatic effect on the resolution quality of an inkjet printer.

If you chronically lack confidence, it's probably very easy for you to catalogue your faults and failures, but what about acknowledging your positives? For most people, this is a lot more challenging.  Researchers have found that self-esteem is comprised of both cognitive factors, such as positive memories you have of yourself and your behavior, and self-evaluation, or how positively you evaluate your current attitudes and behaviors. Make a list of everything you like about yourself - your qualities and skills that make you you.  It can help to actually sit down and write out a list as things come to you. Grab a notebook or journal and set a timer for 20-30 minutes. Journaling is a good way to continually maintain and open conversation with yourself about who you are and want to be. It's a way to prompt self-reflection and self-discovery and may help you realize things about yourself that you didn't really know.  Think also about some areas you'd like to improve, such as assertiveness or self-confidence. Contemplate not only what you feel, but why you feel the way you do. Begin to understand your true self, and allow it to exist. If you're not as good at handling some things as you are at others—for example, maybe you feel confident and capable until other people are thrown into a situation, such as in a relationship or at work—acknowledging all facets of yourself is the first step to transformation. Chances are that you are not giving yourself enough credit for everything that you've done throughout your life. Take some time to reflect and look back at your past glories from big to small—things that you've done that you feel proud of. This will help validate your place in the world and the value you bring to the people and society around you and, in this way, build your self-confidence. Research shows that part of building self-esteem is having a solid schema of positive memories about your past accomplishments and abilities. If you begin to accept that you have been a bright, hopeful, confident person in...

TL;DR in English: Take stock of yourself. Look back on your life and your accomplishments. Focus on positive thoughts and beliefs. Set goals and expectations. Fake it 'til you make it. Take chances. Help someone. Take care of yourself. Let go of the idea of perfection. Be persistent.

If you don’t speak Japanese, which is a requirement for most jobs in Japan, then a great way to work in the country is to teach English. Even if you do speak Japanese, you may want the rewarding experience of teaching overseas.  You will need a bachelor’s degree (not an associate's degree) in any subject and possibly a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification. You can get certified as an English language teacher in about three months. Get certified via online or in-person courses. Visit the TESOL or TEFL websites to find accredited classrooms near you. You will need to pass a criminal background check and possibly a drug test. One way of finding a teaching job in Japan is through a program such as the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET). This is run through the Japanese government and places qualified candidates as Assistant Language Teachers in public schools across the country.  Participants sign a 1-year contract and can spend a maximum of 5 consecutive years in the program. You can apply for the program through an online portal during the fall. Your application will need to include the application form, a medical form indicating that you’re in good health, your university transcripts, proof of degree, a 2-page essay explaining why you want to participate in the program, two letters of reference, and proof of American citizenship. It is a very competitive program so not all applicants will be accepted. There are hundreds of private schools offering English classes throughout the country. Typically, you will apply for a teaching position online through the school’s website and be interviewed via Skype if you’re a promising candidate.  Search online for private schools and visit their websites to see if they're hiring. You can also check for job advertisements on Japanese job sites like Gaijinpot.

Look in a local directory to find a tailor near you. You may want to look online for reviews before deciding on a tailor. You can also visit the store to ensure that it is clean and professional, and even ask to see an example of the tailor’s work. A professional tailor should be proud to show their handiwork. Examine an example piece and see if it looks tidy and clean of any loose threads. Usually they require dry cleaning. Read the interior label and follow the cleaning instructions. You can wash your blazers if they are cotton velvet, but make sure to line dry them rather than using the dryer. Store your blazers in garment bags when not in use. This will prevent dust and lint from adhering to them. You can occasionally press them instead by using steam. Steam your blazers with a hand steamer or the steam from an iron. Don’t touch the fabric directly with the iron. Do this with the nap of the velvet facing down, and the steamer about half an inch away from the fabric. Do a test piece first to ensure that there is no damage to the fabric. If you spill something on your blazer, spot treat it immediately. Blot it with water and a clean cloth. It will leave a water stain, but you can then take your blazer to a dry cleaner or wash it immediately as per the care instructions on the interior label.

TL;DR in English: Get your blazers tailored. Clean and store your blazers. Don’t iron your blazers. Spot treat your blazers as needed.

Having high expectations of your interactions with your cousin can lead to disappointment. If you continue to experience disappointment due to how your cousin treats you, lowering your expectations may help. Try setting your expectations very low so that even if they’re a little pleasant to be around, you’ll be surprised. For example, if you have a cousin who frequently makes rude comments or who complains a lot, then expect them to be at their worst. This way, if your cousin happens to say only a few rude things or is in a slightly better mood, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Visualizing a shield around your body that nothing can get through may help you to cope with any comments your cousin makes that would normally upset you. Imagine that the words are hitting the shield and bouncing off of it before getting to you.  To make the visualization stronger, imagine the color of the shield, its shape, and any special features on it, such as a design or spikes. Visualization takes some practice, but over time you’ll get better and better at letting your cousin’s comments bounce off your shield. Taking a minute to acknowledge who your cousin is and what they are really like might also help you to cope with their behavior. Identify their behavior and how you feel when you’re around them. Then, say or think something like this to yourself:  “Janice, you’re mean and you tease me often, and that hurts my feelings. But I accept that this is who you are and that I will feel upset sometimes when I’m around you.” Repeat this mantra to yourself whenever you are having a hard time being around your cousin. Sometimes you might need to get away from your cousin before you say or do something in retaliation. To ensure that this is always an option, come up with a plan ahead of time whenever you will be spending time with them. Try to avoid putting yourself into a scenario where you can’t leave or have no way to get a break. For example, if you’re spending the day at home with your cousin, excuse yourself to go to the restroom...

TL;DR in English: Set your expectations low so you won't be disappointed. Imagine you’re surrounded by an impenetrable shield. Try to accept and acknowledge your cousin for who they are. Prepare a way out for yourself if you get too frustrated. Devote adequate time to self-care.

Naming your band should happen only after you've gotten know your bandmates as player and as friends. Have lots of rehearsals together, get a feel for the sort of music you want to play, who your target audience is, your shared interests, your plans, and other important considerations. Essentially, you are making a product. And you are trying to sell this product to listeners. In order for this product to be successful, it has to be aimed at the right people and you have to be 200% enthusiastic and passionate about your band's identity. One-word names have the advantage of being short, punchy, and easy to remember. Some of the greatest bands of all time have one-word band names that can be iconic and easily translated into a sweet logo:  Blur, Sleep, Kyuss, Genesis, and Death are all awesome single-word band names to take inspiration from. Just start flipping through the dictionary to look for cool words. Give it a "the" in front if you want to seem old-school, or like a punky unit, and check out foreign words. Legendary metal band Pantera got their name from the Spanish word pantera which means "panther." . If you want, add an adjective to your one-noun name, just like Arctic Monkeys, Black Mountain, and Crystal Castles did. Portishead, Lindisfarne, Sleater-Kinney, Boston, and Beirut are all named after specific geographical locations that meant something to the bandmates involved. Think about the streets you grew up on, or the name of the place where your band practices. Keep it local. " Kennings are single words made out of two different words, and are techniques common to poetry and band names. Radiohead, Whitesnake, and Megadeth are all examples of band names made of two words smooshed together to make a new one. Animals always make popular choices for band names. Scorpion, the Eels, Gorillaz, and Grizzly Gear are classics of the genre. Start thinking of strange animals that haven't been the inspiration for a band yet. Yellow Squid? Box Turtles? Sun Bears? Think of your spirit animal and decide. Every...

Follow the directions in the conversion kit for installing these 2 parts using the included hardware. Use the provided bolts to secure the speed controller to the frame of the bike above the chain. Then, attach the throttle to the handlebars so it’s easy to reach. If you have any other accessories, attach them as well. Secure the speed sensor to the back wheel and connect any displays and gauges to the handlebars with the included hardware. Follow the instructions included with the kit to connect each part. Typically, you’ll only need to plug the connector on the speed controller into the connector on the battery, then repeat the process for the throttle. Be sure not to touch the battery wires together, as this could create a dangerous spark! Most e-bike batteries are designed to fit on the frame in place of a water bottle holder. This is the ideal placement since it keeps the center of gravity low. Use the included hardware to attach the battery to the frame as indicated by the instructions that came with the battery. Alternatively, you could place the battery in a box or basket on the front or back of the bike, particularly if it is too large to fit well on the frame (such as if it’s more than 60 volts). Use zip-ties to attach any loose parts to the frame. Keep safety in mind as you don’t want any cables to get caught while you’re riding. That’s it! You can now cruise around on your e-bike. Just press down gently on the throttle when you’re ready to ride. Go for a test drive in a less populated area so you can get used to it before you take it out on the road. The e-bike battery comes with a charger, making the process super simple. Follow the instructions for connecting the battery to the charger and plug it into a compatible outlet whenever you need to.

TL;DR in English: Attach the speed controller and the throttle. Connect the battery to the speed controller and the throttle. Mount the battery onto the bike. Secure any loose cables. Ride your electric bike. Charge the bike when necessary.

Use a unique skill or ability that you already possess and make it appear more impressive. Maybe you have great drumming skills, a stellar singing voice, or the ability to make complicated balloon animals. You can then take your ability to the next level by adding in a surprising or interesting element.  Think of creative ways to impress the judges with your talent and show them how well you can do the talent even in less than ideal circumstances.  You may want to enlist friends to perform with you and create an act where you all drum together on stage. Or you may ask friends who can play instruments to be your backing band for your singing performance. You can then create synchronized movements as a band that you perform together during the act. If you have a more specialized talent, like making balloon animals or juggling, you may want to add in an element of difficulty that will appear impressive to the judges. This could be making a huge balloon animal within a certain time limit or making balloon animals while riding a unicycle or running on a treadmill. When you are creating your act, you should showcase your strengths as a performer. This will help you feel more comfortable when you perform and more confident. You will also be at your best when you are catering to your strengths, as this can help to hide your weaknesses as a performer.  If you are more comfortable in costume when performing in front of others, come up with a unique costume that ties into your act. Maybe you wear an updated clown costume for your juggling act or a long, glamorous gown for your jazz singing performance with a band. Think about how you can use costume as a way to feel comfortable and confident on stage. You may be at ease when you move and dance around the stage, as opposed to staying in one place. Integrate this into your act, where you do a coordinated dance with the other people in your act or do a dance to fit your act if you are on stage alone. Stage props can be as simple as a microphone stand or as complex as...

Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Add ½ cup (100 g) plus 2 tablespoons of sugar, ½ cup (95 g) of room temperature shortening, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Turn the mixer on to medium-low speed and beat the mixture for a minute or two, so the ingredients are combined. You'll want to use a stand mixer for this dough because it is really sticky to work with. Open 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons of 7 g) of instant yeast and pour it into a small prep bowl. Pour in ¼ cup (60 ml) of warm water and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir the mixture, so the yeast and sugar dissolve. You should notice the yeast bubble a little as it activates. Pour the yeast mixture into the mixing bowl. Measure out 3½ cups (437 g) of flour and add half of it to the mixing bowl. Turn the mixer on to medium speed and beat the dough for 3 to 5 minutes. The dough will be very thick and paste-like once it's combined. Crack 3 egg yolks into the mixing bowl and add the rest of the flour. Turn the mixer on to medium speed and beat the dough for 3 minutes. The dough will be sticky at this point. You can discard or save the egg whites for another recipe.

TL;DR in English: Combine the milk, shortening, sugar, and salt. Activate the yeast. Stir the yeast and half of the flour into the mixing bowl. Stir in the egg yolks and the rest of the flour.

You may find an obvious leak in a pipe or fixture on the floor above the damaged ceiling, but it may also be more difficult to pinpoint.  If you don’t locate the source of the moisture prior to doing the repair, the problem will just keep coming back. Wear gloves, safety glasses and a dust mask while looking for and repairing the leak.  Depending on how long the leak has gone unrepaired, there could be mold present. If there is an extensive amount of mold, hire a professional to remove it safely. If the stain is from a long since repaired leak and the damage is only aesthetic, you may be able to remove the stain with a little elbow grease.  Use a one to one water and bleach mixture to try to blot the stain away.  Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when you apply it. If that doesn't work, wait until it dries completely and simply primer and paint the stain to match your ceiling.  As long as the drywall is intact and the leak is repaired, you're done! Depending on the extent of the damage, you may just need to cut out a bit of drywall or you may need to remove entire portions.  If you only need to remove a small portion of the ceiling, use a keyhole saw or similar tool to remove the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you may need to use the claw end of a hammer or a crowbar to remove all of the damaged material. Ensure all stained drywall is removed and that any material remaining is dry and not sagging. Clean the area with household cleaner to ensure mildew and mold does not develop. Now that all of the damaged material is removed, it’s time to replace it with new drywall.   Cut a portion of drywall that is the same approximate size as the area you cut out of the ceiling. If the hole you are patching is small, simply place the newly cut drywall into the hole, then use drywall joint compound to fill the gap and serve as glue to keep it in place.  Use a putty knife to ensure it is flat and even. If the hole is larger, you may need help holding the replacement drywall in place while you use the...

As teens frequently have little experience beyond their high school education, include a section outlining our education on the top of your resume.  Start with your most recent school and work your way back. However, you should not go all the way back to elementary school. Just list your college, if you're enrolled, and your high school education.  If you've accrued any honors during high school or college, it's a good idea to list them. Things like the honors roll, honors college, or Dean's list speak to a strong work ethic. If you have a particularly high GPA, you might want to list that too. Oftentimes, teens have yet to have a real job or their work experience is very limited. However, there are ways to creatively present work experience in a way that displays a strong skill set even if work experience is limited.  List formal or informal volunteer work, babysitting, or any gardening, dog walking, or other chores you may have done for relatives or neighbors for money. Even if these are not highly formal jobs that require a large skill set, the fact you performed them on a somewhat regular basis speaks to a strong work ethic and good time management skills.  Low wage, part time jobs may not seem like much, but mentioning things like waitressing or retail work can look good if you highlight how such jobs helped you with interpersonal communication. Focus on how you talked to and assisted customers and the vast amount of information you had to manage. Make use of resume "buzz words" when you list the jobs you have held. Buzz words are words used on resumes to make work experience appear impressive to help catch an employer's eye.  Online, you can find lists of resume buzzwords that will help up your chances of getting the job you want. Things like classified, analyzed, facilitated, collected, assessed, calculated, trained, and designed are just a small example of the kinds of words that look great on a resume. Using buzzwords can make jobs seem impressive and emphasize the transferable skills you gained from...

Grab a pullup bar with your palms facing outward. Then, lift yourself up until your chin is above the bar. Lift yourself slowly to fully engage the muscles in your shoulder and back. Lower yourself down slowly to complete the pull-up. Use your shoulder and back muscles to lower yourself at the same speed you used to pull yourself up.  If you jerk and twist your back as you pull yourself up, you’ll risk straining a muscle. Start with as many pull-ups as you can manage, and try to add 1-2 more each workout. For example, start with 10. Next time you do pull-ups, aim for 12. Lie on your front, with your elbows bent and your weight resting on your forearms. Then, push your hips up until your back is parallel to the floor. Retract your shoulder blades to engage more of your back muscles. Hold the position for 15 seconds. Try doing 2 sets of 15 reps. Once you’re comfortable doing low planks, try adding high planks into your workout routine. The only difference is that, instead of resting on your elbows, you’ll fully extend your arms and rest on your hands. Lay flat on your stomach and straighten your arms out in front of you, palms down. Then, slowly and simultaneously raise your arms up until your hands are about 6 inches (15 cm) off the ground and raise your legs so your feet are also raised 6 inches (15 cm) off the floor. Squeeze your legs together and keep them straight. Hold the pose for 15-30 seconds, and perform 3 sets of 10 reps.  You can increase or decrease the difficulty of the superman pose as needed. Try raising one arm at a time, then build toward raising one arm and the opposite leg at the same time. Move to raising both arms but not your legs, then both legs but not your arms to prepare you for the complete pose. This exercise works your back extensor muscles, which run down your spine and impact your posture. Lie flat on your stomach for this exercise. Push your shoulders back and raise your arms until they’re about 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground. Hold your arms outstretched so they’re parallel...

TL;DR in English: Do pull-ups to strengthen your shoulders and upper back. Perform low planks to strengthen your lats and build your core. Try the “superman” to strengthen your lower back and core. Strengthen your mid-back and shoulders with reverse snow angels.

Plagiarism is often an honest mistake. Many students genuinely don’t understand what needs to be quoted. When you explain the assignment, take time to give students a lesson about what constitutes plagiarism.  You can say something like, “Anything that is not general knowledge or your own idea needs a citation. Direct quotes and statistics must always have a citation.” If your school has a policy on plagiarism, include it in your syllabus. If necessary, you can write your own. If students understand how to write proper citations, they are more likely to use them. Tell students what citation system you would like them to use and spend some time in class explaining the system. For example, if you want them to use APA, show them how to cite a book and a website. You can also include a link to the citation guide in the guidelines for the paper. Don’t give broad essay prompts such as “Write about Winston Churchill.” Instead, write more complex questions that paper mills won’t likely have in the archives. If you want students to write about Churchill, try something like, “How did Churchill’s personality impact the way he led Britain in World War II? Give specific examples of how his larger than life personality directly affected the outcome of his diplomatic efforts.” If you teach the same class every year, make sure to change up the paper topics each term. This will help cut down on students using papers that previous students wrote. If you do find evidence of plagiarism, make sure to follow protocol. For example, you might be required to notify the principal or guidance counselor. Some schools have a no-tolerance policy, which means that the student automatically fails the assignment or even the class.  If you aren’t sure what the policy is, ask a co-worker or your supervisor to provide you with that information. Meet with the student first if you think it was an innocent mistake. Many students plagiarize without even realizing it. Consider talking to the student first to see if they understand what they did wrong.

Once you've cut the player loose, your decision is final. There's no turning back -- you won't hang out with him again, return his calls, or even grab coffee with him because you feel sorry for him. Remind yourself why you played him in the first place. Either he really hurt you or another friend, or you just realized that he's the kind of guy who doesn't respect women. If he doesn't respect women, then why should you respect him?  If you give in and do see him again, he'll quickly lose respect for you. If he's a true player, he'll only want you if you don't really want him all that much. Once you've played a player, you'll be better at recognizing them in the future. Watch out for these cagey guys and protect your heart as you move forward in your love life. Remain humble. Don't let this accomplishment get to your head; although it does add an extreme boost to your confidence (you might start to think that you can get any guy you want or feel that you're "playing" some guys when they only look at you as a friend)the tables can turn quick if you get caught up (with other dudes). They might know the game a little better than you do.

In order to evaluate the level of brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder, it is important that your vehicle is level.  Parking on a hill or at an angle can cause the level in the master cylinder reservoir to read incorrectly.  You may want to allow the vehicle to cool for an hour or two to prevent burning yourself when checking the fluid levels. Parking at an angle may make it appear that you have more or less brake fluid than you actually do. Find the hood release on the driver’s left hand side.  It is usually located near the door frame with a small image of a car with its hood open.  Pull the release back toward you to release the hood.  Approach the vehicle from the front and pull the hood up slightly.  It will catch on the safety release.  Slip your hand beneath the hood and find the lever to release it.  In some vehicles, the safety release is located in the grill rather than under the hood. If you are unable to locate the release, check in your vehicle’s owner’s manual for guidance. With the hood propped open, locate the clutch master cylinder. It is usually located on the firewall of the vehicle, just below the windshield.  It will have a plastic reservoir that will be either clear or semi-clear with lines indicating the fluid level inside.  If you are having difficulty locating the clutch master cylinder, refer to your vehicle’s service manual for assistance. The clutch master cylinder is usually on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Inspect the reservoir attached to the clutch master cylinder.  There will be at least two lines indicating a minimum acceptable level of brake fluid and a maximum.  If the brake fluid does not reach the “full” line, you should add fluid.  If it is close or below the minimum line, you should inspect the master cylinder and clutch system for leaks.  If the brake fluid is well below the minimum line, there may be a leak somewhere in the system. Leaks not only allow brake fluid to escape, but allow pockets of air to enter which can cause further issue when operating your clutch.

TL;DR in English: Park your vehicle on level ground. Open the hood. Locate the clutch master cylinder. Check the fluid level.

If you have lingering pain or other methods don’t alleviate your back pain, take an over the counter medication. However, if you experience continued discomfort, consult your doctor.  Take ibuprofen or another type of NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) to help relieve your back pain.  Pain relievers are also good for other symptoms of dysmenorrhea such as headaches. Because birth control pills often contain hormones and control a woman’s menstrual cycle, taking them may help alleviate pain associated with your period. Consult with your doctor about taking the pill, which may help to relieve your back pain.  Skipping the placebo, or pill-free, week, may also help manage back pain.  You need a prescription to get birth control pills, so you’ll need to schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options. Some sources suggest quinine for cramping and pain. However, medical professionals agree that quinine is dangerous and can cause a numerous health problems such cardiac arrhythmia, nausea, headaches, and tinnitus.

TL;DR in English: Take a pain reliever. Obtain a birth control pill prescription. Stay away from quinine.

Instead of getting on his case, be diligent with your own needs and expectations. Don’t make any assumptions about your expectations. If you request him to do something, make sure you make it clear what needs to be done and by when it’s needs to be completed. Get in the habit of writing things down that need to be done. Don’t leave any room for ambiguity. The clearer you are, the less he is likely to find the wiggle room. Blaming and shaming your husband isn’t going to get you anywhere you want to be. So, hold off on the accusations and instead, let him know how you are feeling. Tell him what is bothering you, how it affects you (and the relationship), and what you would like to work toward. Instead of saying, “I really hate it when you don’t do the chores I ask you to do, I can’t believe you’re so lazy” say “It really bothers me that I feel I can’t count on you to do chores. It sets things back in the home and makes me feel stressed. Can we find a way to work together and make sure things get done in the house?” It’s likely your husband feels resentful or angry and doesn’t feel like he can voice his concern. It’s much easier to make it someone else’s problem instead of his own. He may intend to make you explode in anger so that more blame falls on you than on him. Recognize this pattern and decide whether you want to engage it or not. When both of you are calm, have a real discussion about your feelings. Talk about what is and is not working for you, for him, and for you both as a married couple. Find ways to express your own resentment or anger and encourage him to do the same. Spend some quality time each week listening to each other, empathizing, and supporting each other. These are skills that may need to be built up, so you may not be an expert yet, but make an effort to do so. Show your husband that he can be emotionally expressive around you and that you will support him. And allow him to take this role for you, too.  Practice active listening by repeating or summarizing what your husband says. “I...

It may sound strange, but setting goals can help you make new friends. This is especially true if you're on the shy side. Setting small goals for yourself, that allow you to gradually break out of your shell, can help boost your popularity.  Set small goals for yourself at first. For example, you can promise to make small talk with a new person before class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As you begin to feel more comfortable socializing with others, try to set bigger goals. You can promise you'll go to the birthday party you were invited to and try to talk to at least 3 new people. If you're persistent with following up on your goals, you'll eventually feel much more comfortable socializing. This can allow you to meet new people and make a great number of new friends. If you want to make more friends, you have to focus on socializing outside the classroom. Once you get comfortable hanging out at school, try inviting someone out. Ask an acquaintance if he or she wants to go see a movie or get coffee. Try getting a group together to do something fun, like go to the mall. Do not be afraid to ask a popular girl to do something with you, especially if you have already established a firm connection with her in school. If you get along with someone inside the classroom, there's a good chance that person would be open to spending time with you outside the classroom. Fear of rejection is a big reason people refrain from putting themselves out there. However, rejection happens to everyone. Just because someone doesn't want to see a movie with you on a particular Friday does not mean that person is not interested in your friendship.  People do have other obligations. If a popular girl declines your invitation to get coffee, she may genuinely be busy. Don't use this setback as a reason to retreat back into your shell. Remember, there is a lot you do not know about other people. Anyone you talk to has a litany of obligations and issues you do not know about. If someone says "No," that person may be shy or busy.

This can sometimes prompt the oven’s computer to reset and release the lock button. It’s fairly common for the lock function to get stuck if the self-cleaning cycle was interrupted for any reason, like a power outage. If the outlet is hard to reach, you could also turn off the circuit breaker that powers your kitchen. Leave it off for 5 minutes before flipping it back on. This will also cut the power to your oven and hopefully reset the computer. If turning the oven on and off didn’t reset the computer, try asking it to run a self-cleaning cycle and then promptly cancel it. This should hopefully engage the lock function (even though it is already engaged) and then release it after you press the “Clear/Off” button. Make sure to wait long enough after pressing “Self-Clean” for the process to start. You can usually hear your oven’s system start the cycle. If starting and canceling the self-cleaning cycle didn’t work, try letting the oven run a self-cleaning cycle. Set the timer for 1-2 hours and then let it do its thing. Give it several hours after the cleaning cycle to cool down, which should prompt the internal temperature gauge to release the lock function. The internal temperature needs to get back to around 200 °F (93 °C) or lower, and that may take anywhere from 30-90 minutes after the cleaning cycle is finished. Find an appliance repair company in your area who can fix the brand and model of oven you have. Some companies may offer a free estimate, especially if you’re a new customer, so spend some time looking at companies, reviews, and rates to find a provider you’re comfortable with.  Doing a DIY repair or finding a way to force the door open can result in more expensive damage than if you were to just call a repair person to come to take a look at the oven. Even if you manage to get the oven door open on your own, you still don’t know the underlying cause that is making the lock function engage when it shouldn’t be.

TL;DR in English: Unplug the oven for 5 minutes, plug it back in, and press “Clear/Off”. Press the “Self-Clean” button, then “Clear/Off” after 60 seconds. Run a short self-clean cycle and let the oven cool off for several hours. Call a professional so you don’t damage the oven door.

Only the agency that issued the traffic violation can verify whether-or-not your ticket is indeed authentic. Have your citation number ready. The time and day of your arraignment should be listed on your citation.  This is also the last day to pay any fees or penalties if you choose to do so.  The ticket will also have the address and contact information for the courthouse you will be required to appear. In some states, this is the latest date that you can pay or appear in court.  In these states you may appear in court anytime before this date to be arraigned. On this day, you will not be presenting your case or your evidence to the judge, but will instead, be entering a plea of guilty, guilty with explanation, or not-guilty.  Those who enter a guilty with explanation plea, are admitting guilt but asking the court to consider the circumstances and conditions of their violation. This can lead to reduced penalties.

Making paper origami animals requires folding paper intricately, which works on both wrist strength and hand-eye coordination.  Start off with an easy paper folding activity, such as making a fan, and then work up to something a little bit harder, such as a frog or penguin. Fold cloth napkins to prepare for a fancy dinner party. . Video games are a great way to improve fine motor skills since they involve movement coordination and finger dexterity.  Any video game controllers that utilize joysticks to control the game are good for developing fine motor skills. Shooter games, such as Call of Duty, that require the player to coordinate their position and direction in space while aiming are helpful in developing fine motor skills.  Don't forget about mobile games! Dot Collector and Tremble Drop are 2 games that will help improve your dexterity. This is a good way to practice cutting and pasting, which requires hand-eye coordination. Plus, you can have fun and make memories while improving your fine motor skills. Finger painting increases hand dexterity and encourages hand-eye coordination. Pull out the finger paints and practice drawing fun shapes or pictures onto the paper. Working with small pieces of a puzzle and placing them together will help with both strengthening hand muscles and hand-eye coordination. Start with a puzzle with larger pieces and work up to puzzles with smaller pieces. By playing the piano you can strengthen your fingers and work on increasing their dexterity. You'll improve your fine motor skills while filling your house with the sound of music. Build up a castle or tower with Lego (or similar) blocks to practice fine motor skills. You can begin with larger Lego blocks, such as Duplo, and graduate to smaller ones when you need the challenge.

Be direct. Say it when it occurs. Decide where to say it.

After you’ve checked yourself and found a way to keep yourself afloat, see if you can offer assistance to other survivors who may need help. Other survivors could be in serious distress and need immediate help.  Assist others who may be in shock. Talk to them, tell them things will be okay, and let them know you are there to help them. Treat people who have concussions. After you’ve adjusted to your new status, you need to talk to everyone in your group and get them organized. Survivors in your group may have knowledge, expertise, or ideas about how to increase your survival chances and get rescued. Stay together. Your chances of surviving and being rescued are a lot higher if your group is organized and stays together. After you and other survivors have found a way to stay afloat, start organizing and gathering supplies. Ultimately, the more supplies you have and the better you manage them, the longer you’ll be able to survive until you are rescued. Pay special attention to:  Fresh water. Store and ration your fresh water as well as you can. Food. Signal flares and other items you could signal rescuers with.

TL;DR in English: Help others. Organize your group. Look for supplies.

Qualitative research can be expensive and time-consuming. Finding the method that is best suited to your needs is crucial – especially if you have a limited budget.  The least expensive method of qualitative research is to send out feedback surveys with open-ended questions. However, open-ended questions will take some time to read through, and won't necessarily give you actionable information. However, they do provide more personal information. You can also organize focus groups or conduct individual interviews. These methods are significantly more expensive and time-consuming. It can also be difficult to get customers to agree to participate. If you ask customers for their email addresses at the point of sale, you can ask them for open-ended feedback on their purchase and their likelihood to return to your store. If the customer had any problems, either at the store or with their purchase, this gives you an opportunity to address them immediately. Keep these surveys relatively short. Otherwise, your customers may not complete them or even answer them at all. If you have additional questions, you can ask customers if they'd be willing to complete a longer survey at the conclusion of the shorter one. Open-ended questions allow for a qualitative assessment of customer satisfaction by giving your customers the ability to expand their answers. You'll get more personal information about the impact of your customers' experiences with your products or services.  For example, instead of asking customers to rate their level of satisfaction from 1 to 5, as you would in a quantitative study, you might ask "What aspect of your shopping experience was the most satisfying for you?" Instead of asking whether they are likely to recommend your products or services to family or friends, you might ask why they were likely to recommend your products or services, or what they were likely to say to others. If a customer stopped visiting your store, or stopped using your products or services, find out why. You can get valuable...

TL;DR in English: Choose a method of qualitative analysis. Send feedback surveys to verified customers. Ask open-ended questions about customers' experiences. Seek additional feedback from customers who stopped using your product or service. Conduct focus groups or one-on-one interviews for more detailed feedback.

If you are going to be in a situation where your toddler will have to sit still, start preparing early. Let your toddler know what the situation will be and what kind of behavior you expect. Typical situations include:  Restaurant meals. Even more than meals eaten at home, meals eaten at restaurants demand good behavior. Don’t expect miracles – choose family-friendly restaurants – but let your toddler know that he or she needs to sit still and behave. Haircuts. If your toddler wiggles, fidgets, and jumps around, it will be very difficult to manage a good haircut. Explain this to your child in advance, and suggest that he or she sit as still as possible and watch the haircut in the mirror. Medical examinations. Children do need to sit still during medical exams, especially for blood tests and other lab work. Prepare your child in advance. During the exam, try to occupy your child as best you can. Distract by pointing out colorful paintings or drawings, and use your imagination: a drop of blood can be a ladybug or raspberry juice. Church, concerts, and theater performances. Again, prepare your child in advance. Understand, though, that your child may not be able to sit still for something as lengthy as a church service or a concert. Plan to take quick breaks, taking your child outside to burn off some energy. You cannot expect a hungry, thirsty, exhausted, or otherwise uncomfortable toddler to sit still and behave; it will not happen. Don’t attempt any event that requires sitting still without feeding your toddler and making sure his or her other needs are met. When your child needs to sit still, whether it’s during a meal or at a doctor’s appointment, it helps to offer a distraction. Have your child focus on a painting on the wall, his or her image in the mirror, a silly song or story – anything that works. If necessary, bring favorite toys, picture books, and snacks. In rare cases, you may want to break out a cartoon or electronic device. This can work when you really need your child to stay still – as at the...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your child. Make sure your child’s basic needs are met. Distract your child. Dress your child to suit the activity. Be an authority figure. Give your child choices. Praise good behavior.

There’s no point in sugar-coating your feedback. In fact, your criticism will likely become lost if you sandwich it between praise. Instead, simply come out with what needs improvement.  Additionally, use specifics in your feedback. Say exactly what it is that the person should work on. If not, they won’t know how to become better. Give the positive or negative feedback as soon as you see something that needs to be addressed. Waiting until after the fact is often dangerous because you may not remember exactly what happened, and neither will the person you’re giving feedback to. Pull the person aside as soon as you can and say, “I noticed you completed the task like this. However, I don’t think that’s the best way to do it.” Or, “I really like how you handled the task you were given.” You are more likely to make an impact when you address the situation immediately. Criticism should be given in private, as your goal isn’t to embarrass anyone. Praise, however, can take place in public. Typically, giving positive feedback around others makes the person you’re addressing feel good about themselves and can boost the overall morale.  For example, you can send out a mass email praising the person. You could also create an employee of the month or wall of fame to showcase accomplishments.

Sports journalism is a competitive job market. While an internship can give you an edge, doing freelance work while you are searching for a more stable job can enhance your resume. Find freelance work by contacting websites, magazines, newspapers, and radio stations that have regular sports reports. Come up with several writing pitches, and e-mail your best ideas to the editor of the blog, magazine, or newspaper. Do this regularly. Once you start publishing regularly, you will be able to develop a writing portfolio. Once you have published several well-written pieces, begin compiling your best pieces for your portfolio. You do not need to include all your writing pieces. A few solid articles are better than a lot of mediocre pieces. Your writing pieces should represent you and your writing interests. If you have several pieces that cover different sports, categorize them as such. For example, have a separate category for football, tennis, and soccer.  The number of writing pieces to include varies; some jobs will specifically request a certain size portfolio. As you put yours together, be sure to include at least 8 to 10 strong pieces. Your portfolio should also have a brief biography detailing who you are, why you are passionate about sports writing, and why you are a great fit for the job. Before you go to a job interview, take time to learn about the company. Also, be ready to give examples of some of your outstanding writing pieces, and remember to bring your portfolio.

Like the previous method, you start by turning the tomato on its side. Your cutting the tomato in half, but through the side rather than down the top. You'll end up with the top of the tomato being one half and the bottom of the tomato being the other half. Once again, you need to pull the tomato apart to reveal the center and the seeds. While you'll see a division among the seeds, you probably won't be able to keep as much of the flesh with this method. However, it's a quick method to remove seeds. Over a strainer and a bowl, squeeze the seeds out of the tomato. Simply hold the tomato with the skin in your hand and the cut side over the bowl. As you squeeze, you'll release much of the seeds in the middle. You may smash the tomatoes up a bit with this method, so if you want a pretty presentation, try another method.

TL;DR in English: Slice the tomato in half. Open the tomato up. Squeeze the tomatoes.

Peppermint products have long been used as a natural remedy for gas.  Look for peppermint caps that are enteric coated, which means they can pass through your stomach and into your intestines before dissolving.  This will give you a dose of peppermint where it is most needed. You can also make tea from peppermint leaves to soothe your digestive tract. These products are safe to use during pregnancy, though it is still a good idea to check in with your doctor to ensure they're a good choice for your medical needs.  Only turn to over-the-counter medications if dietary changes have failed to make a substantial difference in your symptoms. Contact your doctor immediately if your gas symptoms move beyond discomfort into the realm of actual pain, or if you notice severe diarrhea or blood in your stool.

TL;DR in English: Try peppermint. Use an over-the-counter product containing simethicone. Consult your doctor if your symptoms become more serious.

Most email providers have some sort of spam filter or spam section of the inbox. Any scams or phishing schemes that do not automatically get forwarded to this section can be filed there manually by clicking on the "Spam" or "Report as Spam" button at the top of the email or inbox. When you take this action, oftentimes, the email provider is automatically alerted. If the provider is not contacted, you can go to the provider's help section and find out which customer support email address to forward to scam email. If you receive one of the infamous "Nigerian prince" emails that offer you a large sum of money in exchange for assistance in a financial transaction, forward or fax a copy of the email to the U.S. Secret Service at 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov or 202-406-5031, respectively. The Secret Service keeps all such messages for future investigations. If you receive an email from a company that asks for personal information, such as your Social Security Number, there is a good chance that the email you received is fake and that the company sending it is not the company it claims to be. In cases like these, you should email or call the customer support section of the company being impersonated to inform them of the fact that someone is attempting to phish information from their customers. Online auction websites and other websites through which users buy and sell their own belongings usually have special sections of their websites dedicated to reporting scams. If you see a posting that is clearly a scam, flag it as such and contact the scam section of the website's customer support department. If a company calls with a suspicious offer, such as a free cruise, credit card, or loan offer, alert the FTC by going to their website and filing a complaint via the tools and links on the FTC's website. The FTC can and should also be contacted about email and Internet scams you find, especially if they are scams meant to obtain personal financial information from you.

Before starting yoga, it can help to figure out why you want to practice. Yoga can be a method of physical exercise, a way to reduce and manage stress, a means of healing an illness or injury, or a path to spiritual fulfillment and peace.  Think about which components of wellness you want to work on, such as strength, flexibility, stamina, anxiety, and depression. You might also want to practice for your general well-being. Consider writing down your focus for your practice.  Update it frequently and revise it as you become more familiar with yoga and grow as a student. For example, you could have a goal such as “I want to practice for at least 5 minutes every day” or “I want to build enough strength to do an arm balance posture like Lolasana.” There are different styles and ways to practice yoga and there will always be more experienced yoga practitioners than you. It’s important to remember that yoga is neither a competition nor a traditional sport, but a personal practice of mindfulness, relaxation, and physicality that is meant to enrich your life and body. There is no right or wrong way to do yoga. Your practice should be about your journey first and foremost.  Anyone can practice and benefit from yoga. Integrating yoga into your routine can help improve your physical and mental health, even if you only practice for 10 minutes a day.  It can take some time to find a specific style or school of yoga you enjoy. Similarly, finding the right teacher for you and your goals can take some trial and error. Practice keeping an open mind and adopt a non-judgmental attitude. Instead of thinking, "I'm not flexible, I'll be bad at yoga," realize that "Yoga is about the flexibility of the mind, not the flexibility of the body."   Remember that there is no competition in yoga. Every person has different abilities and the goal of yoga is to focus on yourself, not what others are doing. All you truly need to practice yoga is the ability to breathe. Certain pieces of equipment may help you feel more comfortable, though,...

TL;DR in English: Determine a focus for your yoga practice. Be aware that there is no such thing as "good" or “right” yoga. Gather any equipment you may want to practice. Wear breathable clothing in which you can move. Find a comfortable place to practice. Warm up with sun salutation. Learn a few yoga asanas. Focus on your breathing. Devote time to yoga as often as you can.

Most phone companies charge extra for international calls, including those to the Netherlands. Find out if your company makes calls to the Netherlands before trying to dial, and don't let yourself be surprised when those rates appear on your bill. Check with your phone company to see if you will be able to make these calls. Some companies require you to sign up for international minutes in addition to your regular charges. Other systems make international calls part of your service, though with an extra cost per minute. Make sure you know what time it is in the Netherlands before calling someone there. It is a substantial difference, so you want to make sure the person will be awake and available. No one likes being called late at night or early in the morning.  The Netherlands is in the Central European Time Zone, one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +1:00). The United States' Eastern Time Zone is GMT -5:00, so it is 6 hours behind the Netherlands. Therefore, at 12:00 noon in New York City, it is 6:00 pm in Amsterdam. As you move west in the United States, add hours. 6:00 pm in Amsterdam would be 11:00 am in the Central Time Zone (GMT -6:00), 10:00 am in the Mountain Time Zone (GMT -7:00), 9:00 am in the Pacific Time Zone (GMT -8:00), 8:00 am in Alaska (GMT -9:00), and 7:00 am in Hawaii (GMT -10:00. The first three numbers are the US exit code, and the last two are the specific country code for the Netherlands. This will let your phone know that you are making an international call, and what location you are trying to reach. For any international call out of the United States, begin by dialing 011. The country code is more specific, and will depend on where you are trying to call. All phone numbers begin with an area code, which will be the first 2 to 3 numbers. One notable exception is for a cell phone, which will have the area code 6.

TL;DR in English: Figure out how you will be billed. Check the time difference. Dial 011 31. Dial the Dutch phone number.

Just as you would for a straightforward base oil application, comb through dry hair to work out any tangles. You hair can be just-washed or on its second or third day out from your last shampooing. Spread old towels or paper towels around to protect against oil splatter. Essential oils are too strong to apply in large amounts directly to the scalp. Even with this diluted delivery system, you may feel a strange tingling sensation in your scalp. Don’t worry — it’s perfectly normal. It just means the essential oil is doing its work!  Pour a teaspoon of your chosen carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Add 2-3 drops of your chosen essential oil. Rub your hands together to mix the oils and spread them over your palms and fingertips. If you want to make a larger batch, mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of essential oil into .25 cups (59 mL) of carrier oil. The essential oils won’t be useful on the shaft and ends of your hair. You should target your scalp, follicles, and hair roots with them.  Using your fingertips, massage the oils into your scalp. Remember to treat the entire scalp, not just the top of your head. Using a wide-tooth comb, comb through your hair to both detangle it. This will also spread the oil through any hairs that didn’t get treated by your fingers. Split your hand down the middle so you can work with your hair in two sections, rather than tackling it all at once. Pour a teaspoon of your base/carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together again to spread it out over your palms and fingertips.  If you are using castor oil, mix ½ teaspoon of castor oil with ½ teaspoon of a thinner, lighter oil (like grapeseed oil). Castor oil is thick and gloopy on its own. Run your fingers and palms through your hair to transfer the oil. Begin where the essential and carrier oil treatment ends, closer to your scalp. Run your hands down to the ends of your hair. Work your way all the way through one section of hair, remembering to pay attention to the hair on the back of your head. Give the second...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your hair and work area. Mix your carrier and essential oil. Rub the mixture into your roots and scalp. Comb through your hair again and section it into two parts. Apply the base/carrier oil to the length of your hair.

No matter how you plan on styling your hair, it needs to start out brushed! This not only immediately makes your hair look better, but also makes it easier to style. It is important to plan ahead so your hairstyle is appropriate for all the day’s activities. This helps you look more put together and avoid any awkward mishaps that could be caused by you needing to redo your hair in the middle of the day.  If you have long hair and you have to run in PE that day, plan to wear your hair up. If you have an event that day where you need to look particularly nice, plan to style your hair appropriately. Regardless of what products you are using, keep in mind that they are meant to supplement the natural beauty of your hair. Use the products you need to make your hair stay in place, but not so much that your hair appears greasy or too stiff.
