Put your stovetop on high. Stir the mixture continuously until it's boiling. Put a few droplets of the mixture on something white. Use a microwave if that's all you have.

Hold the ochoko with two hands. Don't drink until everybody has a full ochoko. Drink the sake in small sips. Pair bold sake with rich foods. Pair fruity sake with spicy or fatty foods. Finish an open bottle of sake within a few hours.

A standard clothes hanger will be shaped like a triangle. It has two diagonal bars, and a horizontal bar at the bottom. The method works great for any type of pants, but the pants are more likely to slip off. If your pants keep sliding off, you can secure them with a clothespin. Simply clip a clothespin or two across the horizontal bar.

TL;DR in English: Get a standard clothes hanger. Place the hanger inside your closet.

This is essential for healthy lungs, your cardiovascular system, and your body as a whole, including your skin. Exercise helps your skin because it improves circulation, increases the flow of nutrients to the skin, and removes dirt from the skin’s surface. Furthermore, it may also slow the skin’s aging process. Be sure to rehydrate your body after a good workout. Stress can wreak havoc on your skin and body as well as your mind, and the hormones your body releases in response to stress can exacerbate things like acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. Furthermore, stress can increase healing time in your body, so breakouts will take longer to go away. Yoga and meditation can be beneficial for your skin because they are both stress-relieving activities. Smoking, like stress, has a negative impact on your health, skin, and appearance. Smoking decreases blood flow, which is necessary for healthy skin. It also damages collagen and elastin, while the physical motions associated with smoking lead to wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. Sleep is important for many reasons, and healthy skin is just one of them. For one, when we sleep, our bodies secrete certain growth hormones, and this leads to collagen production. IR saunas use infrared radiation to increase the amount of collagen your body produces and therefore reducing the amount of wrinkles you have. Some users have also noticed improved skin tone after repeated uses.Though research studies have proved that it is effective and safe, long-term exposure to infrared radiation has not been fully studied for treatments. Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells caused by DNA mutations, and the primary cause of these mutations is UV exposure. If you notice irregular changes in your skin or notice moles that weren't there before, talk to your doctor immediately. The most common signs to look for that indicate cancer or precancerous cells are:  Moles that have irregular borders or asymmetrical features, have more than one color, or change over time. Sores and lumps...

TL;DR in English: Exercise on a regular basis. Relax and unwind. Don’t smoke. Get enough sleep. Use an infrared (IR) sauna to reduce wrinkles and increase collagen. Keep an eye out for signs of skin cancer. Seek professional help for irregular skin issues.

It is important that your mixture gets to a boil, but try to raise the temperature slowly and carefully so that the paste doesn’t burn. Don’t step away from the stove, especially if this is your first time making body sugaring paste. It can be tricky to get it hot enough without it burning, so you need to be vigilant. It will be obvious if it starts burning, because it will turn a very dark, almost black color. Don’t turn the heat on and leave your pot unattended. Keep stirring it over and over again, making sure that it never sticks to the pot. As your mixture reaches a boil, it will begin to thin out. When you see it start to bubble it’s almost there, but make sure you allow it to get to a full-fledged boil. If you own a candy thermometer, use it here. Your mixture should reach 250 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the "hardball" candy stage. You can use a plate, a napkin, a piece of paper, or anything. This will allow you to examine the color. Your finished product should be a golden color. When your mixture has reached a boil and is that color, turn your heat off. Make sure you’re still stirring. Instead of the ingredients outlined previously, you will be using one cup of sugar, 1/4 a cup of honey, and juice from half of a lemon (about two tablespoons). Combine these ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and stir until everything is blended. Then, heat your mixture in the microwave for two minutes.  Don't go anywhere as it heats. You need to stir your mixture every 20 to 30 seconds. After two minutes are up, let it cool off a bit to use or store.

TL;DR in English: Put your stovetop on low. Stir the mixture continuously until it's boiling. Put a few droplets of the mixture on something white. Use a microwave if that's all you have.

Sake is often served in a small ceramic cup called an ochoko. Whenever you're holding the ochoko, hold the cup with your right hand and support the bottom of it with the palm of your left hand. Hold the cup this way even when you're drinking. It is rude to drink before everybody has been served and said cheers. Once everybody has a full cup, you can all say “kanpai.” Sake is fairly strong, and while it was once expected that you'd drink the glass in a single go, it's now perfectly acceptable to drink it slowly, sip by sip.  This is especially important if you don't want to drink too much, because your hosts or friends will refill your glass as soon as it's empty. Don't put down your ochoko until the sake is done. Sake can be served with a variety of different foods and courses. Like wine, different sake varieties have different flavor profiles, and will pair better with certain foods. A bold sake like "daiginjo" has strong earthy flavors, and this pairs well with:  Roasted chicken Tempura Chocolate Barbecued foods Fruity sakes like junmai and ginjo have aromas of fruits like peaches. These types of sakes pair well with spicy foods, fatty meats, and a variety of vegetables. Try pairing fruity sakes with:  Spicy tuna tartare Fish Pork Salads Once you open a bottle of sake, it's best consumed within a few hours. This is because open sake will oxidize, and this will affect the flavor of the beverage. Open bottles of sake that aren't finished should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within two days.

TL;DR in English:


Make sure you have a good understanding of the nature of your relationship with your partner. If you are in a long distance relationship, you may be stuck waiting with no date in sight. Make sure that you discuss the financial aspects of maintaining your relationship with your partner as well. Being in a long distance relationship can be expensive

Fill a sink with lukewarm water. Stretch the clothing out by hand to reshape it. Pin the clothing in place with books and other heavy objects. Wash and dry the clothing again if it is needed.

If your SHBG levels are too high, it’s possible that you are not eating enough protein. Talk to your doctor about the right amount of protein for you.  The average adult should consume 0.8 g of protein for every kilogram of body weight . For example, if you weigh 165 lbs you should consume 60 grams of protein a day. Make sure that you consume healthy sources of protein.  Too much protein is not good for your body, but you may require more protein if you exercise regularly. Make sure to talk to your doctor before making any major dietary changes. Drinking too much alcohol can cause your SHBG levels to rise. Binge drinking in particular can prevent you from lowering your levels. Moderate drinking guidelines allow for 1 drink per day for women, and up to 2 drinks per day for men. Examples of 1 drink include 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, and 1.5 ounces of distilled liquor, such as vodka. Too much caffeine can limit your ability to lower your SHBG levels. If you’re enjoying too much coffee in the morning, you’ll want to cut back. It is generally considered safe for adults to consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day. That is the equivalent of about 4 cups of coffee. Consider drinking green tea instead of coffee in the morning. There is some debate about how carbohydrate consumption relates to your SHBG levels. Some recommend going low-carb, while others promote eating plenty of healthy carbs. It’s a safe bet to assume that switching out simple carbs for more complex ones will benefit your health.  Cut out carbs such as white rice, potatoes, and white bread.  Look for high fiber low-glycemic index foods instead, such as quinoa, sweet potatoes, and whole-grain bread.  Consult your doctor before making any drastic changes to your diet.

TL;DR in English: Eat the right amount of protein. Limit your alcohol intake. Decrease the amount of caffeine you consume. Replace simple carbs with complex carbs.

Do you know how long you are willing to be long distance? Does your partner know? It is important to agree on a length of time. If the distance depends on a circumstance with no certain end date, your reunion may keep getting pushed off. Make sure that you discuss the financial aspects of maintaining your relationship with your partner as well. Being in a long distance relationship can be expensive, especially if you travel often to see your partner.   If your partner is waiting for a controlling parent to "back off," that means neither of you have any control over the date. Similarly, if you are waiting for a job to open up in your partner's city, you may be stuck waiting with no date in sight. To avoid this, agree on a date by which you will either move (with or without the job) or break up. For instance, you might say "I'll move to your city as soon as I find a job there. However, if I haven't found one in the next six months, I'll just move and take my chances." However, make sure that you have a conversation about finances before doing something like this to make sure that one partner is able to support the other as they look for a job. If you are planning to be in a perpetually distant relationship, make sure you are both okay with that. You should both feel comfortable with the amount of texting, calling, emailing, and visiting you do. Ask your partner if they feel you're at the right level, and ask yourself how you feel as well.  If you find that one of you is feeling neglected or inundated, agree on a different schedule together. If it feels like only one of you is willing to compromise, your relationship might not be working. You should still be able to hang out with friends, visit family, go to parties, and have time to yourself. If you feel like your long distance relationship is making it impossible for you to have a social life where you are, you need to draw some boundaries.  Tell your partner you can't visit them as frequently. Explain that you are feeling lonely from never making any friends...

TL;DR in English: Decide how long you can handle being in a long distance relationship. Keep a communication schedule that works for both of you. Make sure you can both maintain a social life. Clarify your expectations.

If your sink isn’t available, use a bucket or even a bathtub instead. Add at least 1⁄4 US gal (950 mL) of lukewarm water, enough to submerge the garment. Make sure the water is at room temperature or a little warmer than that so it effectively relaxes the fibers in the fabric.  Cold water won’t help you stretch out clothing. On the other hand, hot water shrinks and damages clothing, so avoid using it here. Note that knitted clothes, including cotton, wool, and cashmere garments, respond to this tactic better than other types of fabric. Fabrics with tight weaves, such as silk, rayon, or polyester, will be more difficult to reshape. Unroll the towel, then move the garment to a second dry towel spread out over a flat surface. Use your hands to tug on the edges of the damp clothing. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fabric’s fibers. It may not be exactly the same as it was before it shrunk, but try to get the clothing as close as possible to its original shape.  For a more accurate way to gauge the size and shape your garment needs to be, create a cutout. Find a similarly-sized garment and use it to trace an outline on parchment paper. Then, place the garment over the outline while you’re stretching it. If you’re having a hard time stretching the clothing, use the steam setting on an iron. The steam softens stiff fabric. Keep the garment on the towel. Work on parts of the garment one at a time so you’re able to pin them in place as you reshape them. If you don’t have heavy books, try using paperweights, coffee mugs, or anything else you have available. Eventually, your garment will be covered in these weights so the fabric can’t move at all.  If you do not have any heavy objects nearby, hold the garment in place with clothespins. You can leave the clothing this way until it dries. If your garment is in bad shape, consider checking back every 30 minutes and stretching it out again. If you need the clothing to dry faster, hang it up to air dry. Drape it over a curtain rod, put it on a clothes hanger, or put it in...

Use the back of the room to distract the other players. This way, they won’t notice your tricks.  For example, you can point out an insect high up on a wall. In addition, you can scream and point to something behind the other players. As the other players turn their back, snatch

Make a wild gesture toward the back of the room. Steal a powerful card from the other players if you need a strong card. Put several of your cards in the discard pile if you have too many. Avoid doing this if there are many mirrors in the room.

Once you've had the talk, you need to set new boundaries. Even if your boyfriend is okay with much of what you're saying, you'll still need to compromise on some issues.  You need to make sure your boyfriend's needs are still being met, even if you're spending more time alone or without him. If you've gone from, say, six nights at his apartment to four he might be feeling a little lonely.  There are ways to compromise on space without you feeling smothered. If you two end up spending less physical time together, you can try to make that time more valuable. Spend less time on your phone texting or e-mailing in his presence. Be more physically affectionate when you're together. Text or call more often on the nights you're not coming over. All these things can help your boyfriend feel secure even while you two spend less physical time together. Oftentimes, wanting less space in a relationship could be a sign of underlying problems. Talk to your boyfriend openly about any issues on his end.  Not wanting any space is often fueled by insecurity. Was your boyfriend cheated on in the past? Was one of his parents not present in his early childhood? Did he move a lot and, as a result, lose friends throughout his life? These, and other issues, can make someone insecure about losing others. Asking your boyfriend more about his own history can help you better understand his fears.  Some people are simply codependent on others. Codependent people tend to put others' needs first, don't really know themselves well, have low self esteem, and have never really learned healthy relationship boundaries. If your boyfriend has had similar issues in the past, you can try to talk to him about dealing with his codependent tendencies to be a healthier, happier person. Once again, you should evaluate your own motivations for wanting space. If you're not interested in the relationship, or if your boyfriend does things that make you uncomfortable or unhappy, you should seriously consider whether you want to stay in this relationship at all.

TL;DR in English: Compromise on alone time. Address any underlying issues. Evaluate your motivations.

The radius is half as long as the diameter, so the diameter can be thought of as 2r. Keeping this in mind, you can write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle given the radius: C = 2πr. In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the circle. Again, you can plug π into your calculator to get its numeral value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14. For this example, let's say you're cutting out a decorative strip of paper to wrap around the edge of a pie you've just made. The radius of the pie is 5 inches. To find the circumference that you need, just plug the radius into the equation:  C = 2πr C = 2π x 5 C = 10π C = 31.4 inches

TL;DR in English: Write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle using the radius. Plug the given radius into the equation and solve.

If you’re scared of injuring yourself when you hit the board, you aren’t going to be successful. Clear your mind and tell yourself that you will break the board. If you believe this, your hand won’t hesitate when it gets close to the board, and your speed shouldn’t slow down, resulting in a clean break. While having strong hands won’t hurt, the key to a successful board break is your speed. You want to hit the board as fast as possible, as this is what causes the board to break. Practice striking over and over again on either a bag or a board wrapped in foam. Increase your speed each time, striking faster and faster. You shouldn’t think of the board as your final target — otherwise, your hand will slow down once it gets close to the board, and the board won’t break. Focus at a point beyond the board and aim for that spot when you strike. This will keep your momentum going as you strike through the board instead of at it. Since you’re aiming beyond the board, make sure your distance is set up to reflect this. Your body shouldn’t be set up to only reach the board, you should be reaching through beyond the board. The kiai that martial artists often emit when striking is not just for show or to startle the opponent.  The contraction of the diaphragm and torso muscles can be used to put more power in your strike. When you yell as you strike, you’re releasing stored energy, giving your strike more strength. Once you make contact with the board, you need to keep your momentum going and finish the strike all the way through. If you stop as soon as you feel the board, you might not end up breaking it completely, and you could injure your hand. Not everyone breaks a board on their first try, so don’t give up. If you’ve conditioned your hand, practiced the right technique, and feel confident that you can break the board, you’ll be able to. Try not to feel discouraged by failed attempts and keep trying.

TL;DR in English: Release all fears and commit to breaking the board. Focus on speed, not power. Aim at a point beyond the board. Yell as you strike to release more energy. Maintain your follow-through. Keep trying if you don’t immediately break the board.

Direct the other player’s attention to the back of the room to distract them. This way, they won’t notice your tricks.  For example, you can point out an insect high up on a wall. In addition, you can scream and point to something behind the other players. As the other players turn their back, snatch a few cards from their pile. Move your hands very quickly so they don’t see! Do this if you only have cards with numbers on them and need a Wild card or Skip card, for instance. When the other players turn their back, place a few of your cards from the discard pile. Do this in a very quick motion so they don’t notice movement from behind and catch you. Don’t place all of your cards in the pile so it seems more realistic. Instead, keep 1-3 cards and run out in a couple turns. This way, the other players are less likely to notice your deception. If the room where you’re playing has many mirrors on the walls, the reflection may blow your cover. Try another cheating method instead. For example, some living rooms and dining rooms are decorated with large, paneled mirrors.

Turn the heat dial to the setting that is most appropriate for your fabric. Once you've selected a heat level, the metal will begin to grow warm. Let the iron become hot. You shouldn't need to wait more than a matter of seconds.  The heat levels are often listed in relation to a certain type of fabric. For instance, cotton responds well to high heat and steam, but some synthetic fabrics might melt or fuse if they're exposed to such temperatures. Do not use an inappropriate setting! Start with a low heat and work up. If you are ironing more than one item, start with the one that uses the lowest setting on the iron. This way, you won't need to let the iron cool down before you continue. If you bunch up the garment or leave it laying out, then there's a good chance that it will dry with wrinkles. Hang the fabric on a clothes hanger and let it air-dry.

TL;DR in English: Heat up the iron. Hang the clothing immediately after ironing.

Natural light is the best lighting you can use when filming for YouTube. Successful YouTubers use studio type lights or white lights, which also give you good lighting. But natural lighting is the best. Make sure you have the lights facing you and not behind you. Be aware of where shadows are and make sure they are not covering the main focal point of your videos.  Backgrounds are also good to have. You can buy or make backgrounds. To purchase a cheap background, go on eBay or other selling sites to find a simple, white background. Alternatively, you can film you videos outside at places like the beach, your local park, or even your backyard. Consider purchasing a green screen, this way you will be able to make your own backgrounds for your videos. Webcams are out. The video and audio quality are not very good on webcams, so try to invest in a good video camera. It doesn't have to be a $500 camera, it could cost $20 as long as the quality for audio and visuals are good your video will be good too.  Many digital cameras now have excellent video capacity. Look for used options on auction sites or classifieds if you haven't a lot of money to spare. Some great sites to find used cameras are eBay and Craigslist. The latest mobile phones are also capable of creating good videos. Consider using a tripod to avoid having a shaking video effect. This only applies if your video involves you recording your screen. HD videos are the norm nowadays, so make sure it can record at 720p or above.  It is best to invest in one rather than download a free one as they often have a "Free Trial" or "Demo" watermark across the screen on export. If your screen recorder does not have options to record audio as well then you need to invest in a good quality microphone - or another screen recorder. One many YouTubers use is the "Blue Snowball" or "Blue Yeti", but any cheap, high-quality microphone will do the job. Choosing tags is a pretty important step in the video upload process, choosing popular tags will make it harder for people to...

TL;DR in English: Improve your filming techniques. Invest in a quality camera or use your smartphone. Record with a high-quality screen recorder. Tag your videos with relevant tags.

Once the foal gets past the shoulders, it should come out quickly and land on the straw. If the sac around the foal is still intact after the foal struggles a bit, you'll need to rip or cut it open so the foal can breathe. Also, tilt the foal's head upward to clear it's nose of fluid.  If tilting doesn't clear the nose, you can use a suction bulb to pull out mucus. If the foal is having trouble breathing use a towel to rub its abdomen and ribs, which may help it start breathing. If it's still having trouble, you can hold the foal upside down for a moment or two to let the fluid drain. Start artificial respiration if the foal doesn't breathe on its own by cupping your hands firmly over its mouth and nose. Breathe into one nostril steadily and gently, letting its chest rise and fall, then push air into the nostril again. Keep going until it can breathe on its own. Do not try to cut the cord. It will break naturally on its own. Have an umbilical clamp on hand. The mare will likely lay down on its side for 20 minutes or so while it recovers. During that time, the mare will likely display colic-like behavior as she works to deliver the placenta. Tie a knot in the placenta with twine and let it hang so your horse is more likely to pass it safely.   Never pull on the placenta since it could break inside the mare and make it sick. The foal should stand up within an hour and start nursing within 2. If it doesn't, call your vet. The navel stump is what's left behind on the foal when the umbilical cord breaks off, and it will be on the foal's belly, much like a human belly button. Pour an antiseptic solution into a cup. You can use a 0.5% chlorhexidine solution or a 2% iodine in it. Gently push the navel stump into the cup and hold it in there for 30 seconds. This is stage 3 of labor, and the horse should pass it within 3 hours, though often it will happen within 1 hour. It will look like a large, white bag. If you don't see it within 3 hours, call your veterinarian, as not passing the placenta is dangerous for the mare...

TL;DR in English: Get the foal breathing as soon as it is fully delivered. Give the mare and foal a chance to rest while you wait for the placenta. Clean the navel stump by dipping it in an antiseptic. Watch for the passing of the placenta. Call the veterinarian if the mare or foal show signs of trouble in the next few days.

Spending a day doing the things you've always loved to do together is a fun way to say goodbye. You could do something special like going to a baseball game or concert. Go out to dinner at your friend's favorite restaurant, or cook dinner at your place for a more intimate setting. If you and your friend go to the same school, have a lunchtime celebration with your other friends. Have everyone decorate your friend's locker with well wishes, and bring in treats to share at lunchtime in her honor. If you and your friend have other friends in common, give your friend a great send-off with a party. It can be a surprise or not - you know your friend best, so you decide. You could choose to have a party with a theme or just keep it simple by gathering at a restaurant for a goodbye dinner.  Tell everyone who is invited to write down a fun memory that involves your best friend. At the party, take turns reading the memories.   Bake or buy a goodbye cake to share at the party. Write WE'LL MISS YOU! with your friend's name across the top of the cake.

Excessively dry skin, especially dry hands, increases the risk of static shock. Always moisturize your skin before you go out.  If you wear panty hoes or silk lining, make sure you moisturize your legs before getting dressed to go out.  Keep a travel sized bottle of lotion in your purse or backpack in case your skin gets dry at work or school. Be especially careful to remember lotion during months, where dry skin is a common ailment. Many people experience static shock when shopping. There are measures you can take to reduce the effect.  When pushing a cart, hold onto to something metal like your house keys. This discharges any energy you build up walking before you touch anything with your bare hands.  Wear leather soled shoes over rubber soled shoes when shopping, as the former are less likely to conduct electricity. Static shock is common in cars. There are ways you can avoid getting shocked when leaving your car.  Sitting in the car generates electrostatic charges because of the constant friction and motion caused by the movement of the car itself. When you leave the seat of your car, you take some of this charge with you. Your body voltage ends up rising when you exit a car.  The voltage discharges when you touch the car door, causing a painful static shock. You can prevent this by holding onto a metal part of the door frame as you leave your seat. The voltage will dissipate into the metal painlessly.  You can also hold your keys before touching the car door, allowing the voltage to move to the metal in your keys without causing you any pain.

TL;DR in English: Moisturize your skin before going out. Take precautions shopping. Avoid static shock when getting out of the car.

Astrology, or the study of space in relation to human affairs, has been around since before the ancient Greeks. Since then, different cultures have developed different methods of interpreting the night sky, and there are many different guidelines out there for burgeoning horoscope writers. The deeper your knowledge of these systems, the better your horoscopes will be. However, if you are just starting out, you should learn the most common system, known as the Solar House System.  Serious astrologers need to know birth times and locations to write personalized horoscopes. However, for general horoscopes like those seen in the paper, the Solar House System is a careful approximation. Houses are typically known as your "sign," such as Libra, Taurus, Aries, etc. If you are unsure about each sign, or need a refresher, click here to view the overviews below.  For the next several steps, you can watch an original Aries horoscope for April 18th, 2015, as it is written. For example, if you're writing about Virgos, you might start by writing about their work schedule or life at work, since they are the House of Work and Ritual. If you're talking about Tauruses, your might touch on finances. These are often your guiding principles, and they are a good way to start writing or to think about the general tenor of each house.  For a Capricorn, you might begin with something like "Your career is about to..." then use the rest of the planets to determine trends.   Aries, April 18: Optimism and boundless energy fill your interactions today. One of the biggest misconceptions in astrology is that every person only has one sign. In reality, your birthday only points to your first house. For example, if you're born October 5th, your first house (and most important sign) is Libra. However, if you continue along the zodiac, the next two houses are your second and third houses, here Scorpio and Sagittarius.

You can increase the protein content and nutritional value of your pea powder by adding ¼ cup of seeds to your pea protein powder. Use whole seeds and blend them on high until they turn into a powder. Then mix the seeds into the pea protein powder. Some good choices include:  Chia Pumpkin Flax Sunflower Hemp Adding almond flour or coconut flour to the recipe can change the flavor and add some more protein as well. Try adding in about ¼ cup of almond flour or coconut flour to the pea protein powder and combine the ingredients well. Cacao can add a nice chocolate flavor to your protein powder and it also contains about 10 grams of protein per ounce. Try adding about one ounce (two tablespoons) of cacao powder into your protein powder and stir the ingredients until they are well combined. Stevia is a natural, calorie free sweetener. You can use it to sweeten your protein powder if you prefer sweet smoothies in the morning. To sweeten your protein powder with stevia, add about one teaspoon of stevia to your protein powder and combine the ingredients well. Spices can add extra flavor to your protein powder. Think about what types of flavors will work best with your smoothie recipes. For pumpkin pie smoothies, try cinnamon and nutmeg. Or for a mango smoothie, try chili powder. Make sure that you only use a small amount to flavor your protein powder. Start with about 1/8 of a teaspoon and increase if desired. Some good spice choices include:  Cinnamon Ginger Nutmeg Chili Cayenne Curry powder

TL;DR in English: Add ¼ cup of seeds. Toss in ¼ cup of almond or coconut flour. Try a couple of tablespoons of cacao. Make it sweet with a teaspoon of stevia. Incorporate some spices.

If you can, try to wash your undies out with cold water as soon as you see that they’re stained with blood. Turn on the water so it’s running at a steady stream. You want the flow to be strong enough to break up the stain, but not so high that it’s blasting, since you don’t want to splash water everywhere. Use the coldest water you can get from your tap. Hot water can cause the blood to set into the fabric. Turn the underwear so the stained crotch is facing upward, then place it so the stream of cold water hits directly on the stain. Rinse away as much of the blood as you can. If you like, you can use your fingers or a cloth to gently blot away the stain as you rinse. You may be surprised how much of the stain disappears with just a little water! Water is unlikely to remove the stain entirely, so for even more cleaning power, drop a little mild soap onto the stain. Work the soap into a lather directly on the fabric, making sure to cover the entire stain. You can use whatever soap you have on hand—hand soap, liquid laundry detergent, or a solid laundry bar are all good options. After you’ve covered the stain with soap, rinse away the suds with more cold water. Keep rinsing until the water runs completely clear and there are no more soapy bubbles on the fabric. Then, examine the underwear to see if the stain is gone. If the stain is still present, wash the underwear with soap and water one more time. If the blood isn't completely gone after that, you may need to try a different approach. Take the underwear out of the water and gently squeeze the fabric so the excess water drips out. Then, place your underwear on a thick towel and roll the towel up tightly. Pat and squeeze the towel for 2-3 minutes to get as much of the water out of the underwear as possible. Don't wring the underwear out, as this might stretch them. to dry. If you have a clothesline, use clothespins to clip the underwear up to dry. However, even if you don’t have a designated place to air-dry clothes, you can still hang your underwear to dry....

Remove the film spiral from the tank and gently pull the end of the film strip out. Use a clothespin or a similar clip to hold onto the end of the film. The end of the film strip will not have any exposed photos on it so you don’t have to worry about damaging them. Hold the clip with one hand and the spiral with the other. Pull slowly on the clip so the film unravels from the spool. Place the clip along a string so the film doesn’t touch the ground or the wall. Don’t let anything touch the negatives. Work in a clean room where wind or dust won’t damage your negatives. Start from the top of the film strip and gently squeeze it between 2 fingers or a squeegee tongs. Work down the entire length of the film so there is no dripping water. Wear clean vinyl or rubber gloves if you’re using your fingers. Place another clip on the bottom of the strip so it doesn’t twist or deform while it dries. The clip will also catch any drips that fall off of the film strip. Put a tray on the ground below the film strip if you don’t want water or chemicals falling onto the floor. Don’t touch your strips for at least 2 hours after you’ve cleaned and hung them to dry. Check how wet the film still is each hour by touching an area without an exposed photo. Once they are dry, they can be stored or scanned. To speed up the drying process, use a hairdryer on the lowest speed and heat setting and hold it 30 centimetres (0.98 ft) from the film strip.

TL;DR in English: Attach a clip to the end of your film strip. Pull the film off of the spiral slowly and hang the strip off the ground. Wipe any excess liquid off the film strip with a squeegee or your gloves. Attach a weighted clip to the bottom of the film strip. Let the strip dry for at least 4 hours.

By taking an inventory of your strengths and areas that need improvement, you will begin to see what you do well and what you need to work on. This can be a good starting point for figuring out who you are. When you create your inventory, phrase your list so that the strengths use “I am” statements and the areas of improvement use “I want” statements.  For example, for strengths, you might include things like “I am a good friend” and “I am generous with my time.” For areas of improvement you might include things like “I want to be a better listener” and “I want to care less about what other people think of me.” To make your list even longer, you can ask your friends what they think your strengths are and where you could use improvement. Make sure you're asking people who know you well and who will provide you with constructive, positive feedback. Do not ask your friends for help with your list if you think that it might hurt your feelings. Schedule some alone time so that you can look over your list. Scheduling some alone time will also give you a chance to do some self-exploration. You may even want to make scheduled alone time a regular part of your day for a while so that you can have the time and privacy to get to know yourself better.  Keep in mind that you don't need to spend your alone time meditating or being reflective. You can discover something new about yourself, even if you're just watching your favorite movie or getting some light exercise. The important thing is to make time that is just for you and enjoy it. Deciding what you want to change about yourself can also tell you about your priorities and help you better understand who you are. If you have identified some areas that you want to improve, then try setting a small goal for yourself. Think about what this goal says about you. What does it say about who you are?  Make sure that your goal is small and measurable.For example, if you have decided that you want to be more assertive, then set a goal to speak up for yourself once per day. This...

TL;DR in English: Take a personal inventory. Ask people you trust for help. Make time for yourself. Start small. Create art. Challenge yourself. Spend time with people who make you happy.

Chop the tofu into cubes first. Season it with your desired stir-frying sauce or spices, then let it sit for 30 minutes to marinate. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu, then sauté it for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spatula.  Skip the olive oil, and go for safflower or coconut oil instead. You can use a wok, skillet, or a frying pan for this. Chop the tofu into cubes. Toss it with arrowroot powder or cornstarch, then season it with sea salt. Coat the bottom of a deep skillet with a high-heat cooking oil.  Add the tofu in an even layer, then cook it over high heat. When the tofu turns golden brown, flip it with a spatula. Continue cooking it until it is golden brown all over. The tofu will need about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Fill a saucepan with enough water to touch the bottom of the steamer basket. Heat the water over medium-high heat. Add the tofu, cover the saucepan, and let it steam for 7 minutes. Uncover the saucepan, then serve the tofu as desired. This method works best on unseasoned, non-marinated tofu. Skip the seasoning, and cut the tofu into long strips. Grill it for 5 minutes, flip it, then grill it for 5 minutes more. Remove the tofu from the grill, then add your desired seasoning. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Chop the tofu into cubes, then season it with oil. Toss it with arrowroot powder and sea salt. Spread it evenly across a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake it for 15 minutes, flip it over, then bake it for 15 minutes more. Cut a block of tofu into four thick slices. Prepare the sauce using the ingredients listed below. Pour half of the sauce into an 8 by 6-inch (20.32 by 15.24-centimeter) baking dish, add the tofu, then add the rest of the sauce. Marinate it for 1 hour, flipping the tofu over halfway through, then drain half of the sauce after the hour is up. Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 375°F (191°C) for 30 minutes, flipping it halfway though.  ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) tamari ¼ cup (60 milliliters)...

Wash your face Use a good moisturizer. Don’t pick at your skin. Use makeup.

Starting the morning without marijuana reduces your amount and frequency of marijuana use each day and sets the tone for the rest of the day. If you are used to “wake and bake” (smoking marijuana first thing in the morning), then find something else positive to do when you first wake up like stretching, meditation, etc. Although they are mild compared to some other drugs, you may experience withdrawal symptoms that exercise can help alleviate. Additionally, physical activity improves your health and well-being in general and may help you address some of the reasons you use marijuana. If you also smoke cigarettes or mix your marijuana with tobacco, then strongly consider quitting. Not only does tobacco greatly increase your health risks, but it may serve as a signal to your brain that it is time for marijuana, also. If needed, talk to your doctor about the best way for you to cut back on your nicotine use. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and foods that are high in protein. Eating foods that boost your immune system, provide you with energy, etc. can help you feel better in general, as well as reduce any withdrawal symptoms you might feel. In particular, monitor your alcohol and caffeine intake.  Be aware of how much of both you are consuming and try to make an effort to decrease it.  Some people increase their use of alcohol when they cut back or quit marijuana. Make sure you aren’t starting to drink more, as this can lead to alcohol dependency and its related problems. Drink less coffee. The THC in cannabis can lessen the effects of caffeine on your body. So, while you were using more marijuana you probably needed more caffeine. Now that you are using less marijuana, the same amount of coffee can have negative effects on you (nausea, jitters, insomnia, etc.). Instead, try to drink lemon or lime water, which have detoxing effects on the liver. Not only will it help calm an anxiety you may be feeling, but it will also improve your lung function.

As you begin you may need to sync your charting with your medications to help you remember. Over time, charting will become a natural and productive part of your day. See the example below for how your chart might look.  October 18th: Sleep: 7 hrs 8:00am: Mood: 3 Medications: 200 mg Tegretol; 100 mg Wellbutrin 2:00pm: Mood: 4 Medications: None 8:00pm: Mood: 4 Medications: 200 mg Tegretol; 100 mg Wellbutrin Notes: Worked. Ate 3 meals. Walked 2 miles. Day got better as it went on. Decent focus and attention. Had negative thoughts "I screwed up that presentation; I'm a failure." "My girlfriend didn't call; No one cares about me." Was able to pull myself out of them and challenge their truth. No alcohol or non-prescribed drugs today. The only way you and your doctor can learn anything useful from your mood chart is by doing it daily. Missing one day can cause you to forget or minimize a new change in your mood, anxiety or sleep. Even good habits like charting can be hard to follow at first. To ensure that you regularly chart, and to build motivation, follow the 3 R's of habit change:  Reminder: Cement this new behavior by notifying yourself of when you should be doing it. It may be simpler to set a firm rule that each day you will chart your mood right before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Routine: Follow the same procedure for charting each day so that you physically and mentally become accustomed to incorporating this new behavior into your day. Reward: In addition, to learning new and interesting facts about yourself through charting, you should also create some other regular reward for sticking to this behavior. Maybe you could tell yourself that if you chart 3 times a day for a week, you will reward yourself with a treat over the weekend. Charting your moods is especially helpful when you are switching to a new medication, noticing repeating cycles in your mood states; wanting to verify that your medication is working; and to show your doctor your progress. Look over your journal each week and at the end of...

Both avoidant personality disorder and schizoid personality disorder can cause people to avoid social interactions with others, but there is a very important difference between the two. People with avoidant personality disorder are typically very troubled by their isolation and want to get involved with others, while people with schizoid personality disorder usually are not distressed by their lack of interaction. Social anxiety disorder and avoidant personality disorder are extremely similar, so it may be impossible for someone who is not trained in psychology to distinguish one from the other. Typically, individuals with avoidant personality disorder display more symptoms than those with social anxiety disorder, and their symptoms tend to be more inhibiting.  Individuals who display only a few of the symptoms of avoidant personality disorder may in fact have social anxiety disorder, but it is important that a trained mental health professional make this diagnosis. Some people may be diagnosed with both avoidant personality disorder and social anxiety disorder, which further complicates the distinction between the two conditions. Avoidant personality disorder is not the only psychiatric condition that can cause individuals to lack self-confidence and feel inadequate. Before assuming that an individual has avoidant personality disorder, consider other, similar personality disorders.  Like people with avoidant personality disorder, people with histrionic personality disorder tend to lack self-esteem. The major difference is that people with histrionic personality disorder tend to go out of their way to seek the approval and validation of others, often in an unhealthy or destructive way, while people with avoidant personality disorder instead avoid contact with others. Dependent personality disorder is also characterized by a lack of self-worth and fear of abandonment. However, people with dependent personality tend to latch on to a specific individual instead of avoiding all social interactions. People with...

TL;DR in English: Rule out schizoid personality disorder. Consider the possibility of social anxiety disorder. Learn about other disorders that can cause a lack of confidence.

day and night. Unless your skin is very dry, you can wash your face in the morning and just before you go to bed at night with a gentle cleanser. This will help you get rid of any dirt and other bacteria that has accumulated on your skin, and which could clog your pores.  When washing your face, use lukewarm water to wet your face, apply a small amount of cleanser to your hands, and gently massage your skin using circular motions.  Be sure to rinse your skin carefully, using lukewarm running water. When you are finished pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Don’t rub your skin dry as this can cause irritation. Be sure to choose a cleanser that is fragrance-free (which might irritate your skin), free from parabens (which are toxic), and soap (which can be drying for the skin). Choose a daily moisturizer that has an SPF. In order to avoid potential irritation, look for gentle moisturizers that are fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. You should apply moisturizer just after you’ve washed your face.  Use a quarter-sized amount so that you don’t overdo it, and apply the moisturizer from the center of your face and gently sweep it outwards.  If you want to, you can look for a night time moisturizer (that doesn’t have an SPF), and will usually be a bit thicker and more heavy duty than the date time moisturizer. Again, be sure to look for gentle moisturizers that are fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. Picking at your skin will result in redness, irritation, and even pimples. Do your best to keep your hands off of your face as much as possible throughout the day. When you touch your face, you are spreading the bacteria and germs that are on your hands to your face. If you find that you have a pimple, leave it alone. You can dab a bit of salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or tea tree oil on the pimple, but don’t pop it. This could cause scarring and redness. If you want to, you can use makeup to make your skin look more luminous. You can also use dark makeup (e.g. black eyeliner, black mascara, and a darker lipstick) to...

Place your hair in a straight sided mixing bowl. Beat the whites until they have the right consistency. Put about a third of the whipped egg white into the batter.

Understand the music industry. Research various record labels to explore your options. Understand that many major labels do not accept unsolicited demos. Put together a press kit.

Mix the egg whites at medium high or high speed with an electric mixer. Keep the mixer moving around the inside perimeter of the bowl so all the contents are mixed equally and thoroughly. Properly beaten egg whites will be uniformly white and will be rather stiff. They should also form soft peaks and be light and fluffy looking. This is a critical step. Some cookbooks recommend adding a small amount, usually less than 1/4 teaspoon, of Cream of Tartar to help with the beating. The cream helps make the egg whites fluffier. Gently mix this small amount of egg whites into the batter. Doing this is called ‘tempering’ the batter and helps with when mixing in the rest of the egg whites. Only stir the egg whites into the batter until the batter looks barely combined and slightly clumpy. Make sure all other ingredients are thoroughly mixed according to the recipe you are using before adding the egg whites.

If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed, you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it. To begin, sit down, since it is more comfortable than standing. Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils.  A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood. Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat. With a finger and thumb, pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose, completely blocking the nostrils. Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged. This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood. Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes, then release.  If bleeding continues, reapply pressure for another 10 minutes. While you do this, breathe through the mouth. Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose. To do this, place ice cubes in your mouth. This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose. It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer.  This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose. Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study. You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result. While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis, you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues. This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose. To use, take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece, add 1-2 drops of the spray to it, insert them into the nostrils, continue pinching the nostrils, and check for bleeding after 10 minutes.  If bleeding has stopped, do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour, because bleeding can reoccur. Frequent use of this drug, which is more than 3-4 days at a time, can cause addiction and nasal congestion. These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10...

TL;DR in English: Position your body. Compress the nose. Cool yourself down. Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays. Wash your nose and rest.

Combing your hair is absolutely essential to keeping it feeling silky and clean. Tangled bedhead will always be difficult to manage and will serve to damage your hair and keep it feeling coarse and rough. Use a fine-tooth plastic comb and run it through your hair a few times each morning to work out the tangles and leave your hair healthy and silky. If your hair is especially tangled, use a small dab of oil on the comb to help work it through and treat your hair. You can also use a little bit of water. Depending on the thickness of you hair, it may be more appropriate to brush it, especially with coarse hair. . If you have coarse or curly hair, a flat iron can help you achieve a silky texture. However, keep in mind that flat ironing and other heat-based treatments can damage your hair, so use a few protective measures:  Flat iron your hair while it is completely dry. Wet hair is much more susceptible to heat damage than dry hair. Use a heat protecting spray, cream, or serum on your hair before straightening. Avoid going over the same section of your hair more than once. . Blow-drying your hair can also help keep your hair silky. You can take a few precautions to prevent your hair from getting dried out or heat damaged from excessive blow-drying:  Towel dry your hair before blow-drying it. This can cut down on drying time and reduce the risk of heat damage. Comb a protective serum through your hair before blow-drying. If you’re trying to achieve a smooth and silky effect, use a boar bristle brush to gently pull your hair taut during blow drying. Dry from the roots of your hair down to the ends.

You need to know a lot about the industry before you start submitting music to record labels. It is intensely competitive, and record labels are  interested only in new artists who have the potential to generate revenue.   Most musicians never land a record deal. Learn to accept lots of rejection without giving up or letting it break your spirit. Your only hope of being signed is having the potential to make money for the label. Being a great artist is not enough; you need a new sound, an attractive style, a fan base, and a celebrity persona. Getting a label to sign you to a contract is every musician's dream, but it's actually a rare event, and you have to do everything you can to increase your chances. That means you want to find a label that matches your style.  There are comprehensive record-label lists online. Search for the "record label directory" for your country.  This should help you narrow the search. Look for labels that have signed artists similar to you. A record company won't want to sign anyone who's exactly like someone else they've signed, but you want to work with a company you know is receptive to your sound. You may not be able simply to send a demo and expect it to be heard.   In most cases in order to be signed to a big label, you have to have a manager, lawyer, or agent who will contact the company on your behalf.  If you cannot afford a manager, agent, or attorney, don't lose hope! Contact the smaller labels while you continue to hone your skills as a musician. This will include a demo of your best music. A press kit typically contains a demo song on CD, one or more headshots or group shots of your band, a description of your band and influences, a biography that explains how your band came together or how you came to make the kind of music that you do, and contact information for your agent and band members. You can also include a list of big gigs you've played, awards you've won, or other recognition you've received as an artist.  Every document in the press kit should incorporate a...

TL;DR in English:


Define your ideal customer. Solve a problem for the customer. Apply the concepts of marketing to your product and your ideal customer.

In the beginning, even if you work out regularly, you will want to keep your weights relatively light and stick to 1 or 2 sets of under 20 reps for each exercise. How much weight you start with will vary depending on your current strength and build, but it should be light enough that you can comfortably lift it without struggle or soreness. As your strength increases, you can gradually add more weight and increase your reps. It’s a good idea to get your muscles loose before you work them out, and it can also be helpful to stretch after exercising to avoid soreness or cramps. Allow yourself time for a full set of stretches before and after each workout. While it can be tempting to build up momentum when doing reps because it makes the movement feel easier, it can actually be harmful to your muscles. Neck muscles are very important and often sensitive, so it’s best to be cautious and pause between each rep. For instance, when doing dumbbell shrugs, you should be slowly lowering your shoulders and pausing before you lift them again, instead of “bouncing” your shoulders up and down. Even if you work out often, your neck muscles may not be as strong as you think. To avoid pulling a muscle or causing chiropractic issues, make sure you’re moving slowly when you exercise and not doing anything that gives you discomfort beyond a normal muscle “burn.” Particularly when you first begin exercising your neck muscles, it’s best to give yourself a couple days between workout sessions to rebuild your muscles. Even if your workout wasn’t especially strenuous, exercising a set of muscles that doesn’t usually get much use can lead to soreness and injury if you overdo it. While it’s natural to feel slight soreness after a workout, you should consult a doctor if you’re experiencing any intense pain or stiffness that makes it uncomfortable to move normally. Your doctor may instruct you to do certain neck stretches or to use heat or cold on your neck muscles to relieve the pain. They may suggest that you take a break from...

TL;DR in English: Start off with lighter weights and fewer reps. Stretch before and after working out your neck muscles. Avoid using momentum when doing reps. Move slowly and carefully. Give yourself at least 2 days between workouts. Talk to your doctor if you’re having frequent neck pain or stiffness.

Once you've captured a fox, you'll want to be very careful about the way you handle it, even if it appears securely confined to its trap. Carry the trap away from your body, holding it only by a safe handhold that's well out of the fox's reach. Never stick your fingers into the cage, shake the cage, or purposely agitate the animal. Foxes caught in live traps are likely to be scared for their lives, which means that they have the potential to lash out and bite or scratch you, even if they appear docile on the surface. Note that foxes can carry a variety of diseases including rabies, a deadly viral disease for which there is no cure besides receiving a vaccination after being bit. If you are ever bitten or scratched by a fox, contact a doctor right away. Though rabies is rare in foxes, it can lead to a long, painful, and ultimately fatal illness, so it's always better to be safe than sorry. One option when you've captured a fox is to take it somewhere far away and let it go free. This method has the benefit of causing no immediate harm to the fox. However, it's important to note that, because foxes are territorial creatures, they will sometimes return to their original location even if they have to travel a long way to get there. In addition, because of competition from other predators and differing habitat conditions, there is always a chance that a fox released into the wild away from its home will eventually die anyway. If you do decide to release your captured fox into the wild, be sure to do so safely. Orient the trap away from you, then carefully open the trap door to release the fox. Don't pursue the fox once it leaves the trap — it will likely be agitated and can potentially react with hostility, though this is rare. For many, having a professional deal with a captured fox  is much preferable to the prospect of doing it on their own. Nearly all local animal control agencies will be willing to take a wild fox off of your hands, saving you the hassle of deciding what to do yourself. If you don't know how...

TL;DR in English: Handle all foxes with extreme caution. Release it into the wild. Call an animal control service. If legal in your area, consider humanely killing the fox. Know the warning signs of an aggravated fox. Consider taking the fox's fur. Carefully wash yourself after handling a fox.

Cold air is very drying, and sunlight reflects off snow, intensifying UV rays. Cover any exposed skin with a broad-spectrum moisturizing sunscreen and use lip balm, both with an SPF of at least 30. Wear body lotion to keep your skin hydrated. Pick running gear that makes it easier for drivers to spot you. There is less light during the winter, especially in the morning or evening, and when the sky is overcast. Wear reflective gear or add reflective tape, and choose outfits in bright colors. These layers will help you stay dry and warm by wicking moisture away from your skin, providing insulation, and protecting you from the wind and snow or rain.  The inner layer should wick sweat away and fit close to your skin. Opt for synthetics or silk. This layer should keep you dry and not feel scratchy against your skin. Avoid cotton because it will hold moisture, which will quickly turn chilly. A good example is a long sleeved tech shirt.  The middle layer is to keep you warm. Pick a fabric that will keep heat against your body without holding moisture, such as a fleece jacket or vest. Experiment to determine how thick this layer should be, depending on the temperatures in your area.  The outer layer should provide protection from wind and moisture. It should also be easy to unzip or remove if you get too warm. A lightweight windbreaker is a good choice, and if you need to take it off, you can tie it around your waist. For your legs, thermal running tights can provide all three layers of protection. Find a pair made of synthetic fibers that wick moisture but still retain heat and have an outer coating to repel water. You will warm up as you exercise, so if your outfit is comfortable when you step outside, you will soon be too hot. Dress for weather that is warmer by 20 degrees Fahrenheit (11 degrees Celsius) than it is outside. Your shoes should provide extra traction for running in icy or wet conditions.Trail running shoes will have a deeper tread to give you more stability. If you’re running in a lot of snow and...

Think of the people who buy your product most often or those people who have a problem that your product or service can solve. Your ideal customers may be of a certain age, gender or income level.  Determining who your ideal customer is will shape all of your marketing efforts for your product. In order to get the most out of your marketing budget, target your ideal customers. You can determine you ideal customer through the client data you keep on your product sales. You can also survey your clients or analyze research generated by competitors in your industry. For example, if you sell outdoor technology equipment, your ideal customer might be a male or female between the ages of 25 and 50 years old, as these people are both more active than older people and have more disposable income that younger people. In addition, you estimate that your ideal customer lives in the western US, as people there spend more time outdoors than those in other parts of the country, and has an upper level or high level of income, as your outdoor equipment is relatively expensive. Consumers have problems that they want to solve. If you work with clients in a particular industry, use your customer knowledge to find a problem you can address.  Research a product idea. Many businesses develop great products that relate to other successful products they sell. Think about why customers use your existing products. You may be able to solve another problem that is slightly different. Say, for example, that customers tell you that they need a durable cell phone charger that will hold up if dropped or exposed to extreme weather. To solve this problem, you create a charger that is weather-proof and shock-proof. Hikers and bikers try your phone charger and like the results. Once you've identified your ideal customer and solved his problem with your product, you can think about the components of your marketing. Think broadly about what you need to do to market your product.  You'll need to plan a price for your product. Determining a price...

m. and noon E.T. Stock prices are most volatile just after opening and right before closing. That means you want to make your purchases early in the day, as close to opening as you can. However, you may wait closer to noon if you need more time to select the stocks you want to buy. It’s better to make a well-researched purchase later in the morning than to make an ill-advised purchase right after the market opens. This is the best time to sell most stocks, as the price typically moves in the afternoon. Hopefully, the price will go up, though there's no guarantee this will happen. Check the price of your stock before you sell to determine if it’s best to wait until right before the market closes, which is at 4:00 p.m. ET. Chances are, you’re going to lose money in your first few stock flips. To avoid losing big, keep your investment small. Play the market with just a small percentage of the amount of money you’ve set aside for trading. Think of day trading like gambling when you’re first getting started. Set a budget for yourself and treat it like an entertainment expense. Stay up-to-date on current events and financial news reports. This will help you recognize which markets are most likely to move soon. Additionally, you can watch for news about companies, which may impact their stock prices.  The trading platform you’re using to buy and sell stocks may have financial news available on the site as an added feature. You can also visit numerous websites, like CNBC.com, TheStreet.com, and MotleyFool.com for other news. After the trading day is over, look back on your trades and determine what happened with each of them. Why were the successful trades profitable? Did you take any losses? What resulted in success, and what resulted in failure? Take a lesson from each day’s trading. You might also want to track stocks you’ve considered buying to see how they perform over a week. Write down the selling price of the stocks at the time you make your purchase, as well as the price when you sell. Charting the movement...

TL;DR in English: Buy your stocks in the morning between 9:30 a. Sell your stocks between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. E.T. Start with a small investment to test the waters. Read the news daily to learn which stocks are hot. Perform a post-trade analysis to see which stocks were profitable. Keep a trading journal to monitor your successes and failures. Stick to your trading strategy to minimize losses.

Social media is crucial for outreach, exposing your brand to new people, and getting real-time feedback from customers. But research shows that Facebook, Twitter, and the like aren't very good at giving you effective sales leads. That does not mean you shouldn't be active on social media -- as this will help you prove your company is active and trustworthy online. It just means you shouldn't try to snag customers completely through hashtags and likes. Social media will help, however, when:  You have a sale. You want to create awareness of a new product or service. Building name recognition, which helps eventually turn contacts into sales. If you do use social media, LinkedIn is proven to have the highest lead conversion rate. SEO is considered the cheapest but best way to increase sales. Why? Because 90% of consumers report that their first move when buying services or goods online is to Google the industry. If your drumstick manufacturing business doesn't show up on the first page, up high, then very few drummers will be ordering your product.  SEO is about finding your search terms and making it so that you are the most reliable site for Google to point to. For example, you might try to show up top for "buy new drumsticks." Younger companies have the most success with specific SEO. You might not win the Google race for "new drumsticks" against big corporations like Vic Firth, but you might win "new hand-crafted drumsticks," "new birch-wood drumsticks," or "new heavy-metal drumsticks."  Create content around your tags every day to quickly shoot up the Google rankings. Tag every post, picture, meta-data, and text with your search terms to move even faster. This is especially crucial for tech companies or manufacturers. If you're the online leader in information about a product then you are also the go-to source for the industry at large. And when your judgment and insight is trusted, your product is trusted as well. While writing blog posts that don't ask for money or sales may seem counter-productive, avoid...

TL;DR in English: Set up a regular, solid social media account, but don't rely on it for leads. Maximize your webpage's Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for the most effective burst of sales leads. Produce informative, knowledgeable content about your product or industry. Use your website to track your visitors, figuring out your marketing strengths and weaknesses. Be readily available online, with contact info on every page at least.

If the TV and DVR are currently on, turn them both off before making any connections. You can keep both devices plugged into the wall outlet or power strip while connecting them, but the devices must remain off until the end of the process. You'll need to use a standard S-video cable for the video. Plug one end of the cable into the S-video In port on the back of the TV. Plug the other end of the same S-video cable into the S-video Out port on the back of your DVR. You'll need to use a separate L/R stereo cable for the audio. Connect the plugs at one end of this cable into the matching Audio In ports on the back of the TV. The red plug connects to the red Audio In Right port and the white plug connects to the white Audio In Left port. Plug the connectors at the other end of the same audio cable into the corresponding Audio Out ports on the back of the DVR. Make sure that the red connector plugs into the red Audio Out Right port and the white connector plugs into the white Audio Out Left port. The DVR and TV are now connected. To use the DVR, turn on both pieces of equipment and switch the TV to the appropriate source input. Press the "Source" or "Input" button on your TV or remote control to scroll through the options. Stop once you reach "S-Video."

TL;DR in English: Turn off the equipment. Connect the S-video cable to the TV. Connect the other end of the S-video cable to the DVR. Attach the audio cable to the TV. Attach the other end of the audio cable to the DVR. Turn everything back on.

Every year, billions of plastic bags fill up landfills. To help reduce this number, bring your own tote bags when you grocery shopping. Reusable bags made of canvas, jute, or recycled plastic are sturdier for carrying groceries and can make a huge impact on the amount of plastic bags you use.  You can find reusable tote bags at most grocery stores or online. If you forget to bring your own bag, many stores offer inexpensive reusable bag options near the checkout area. In some states, such as California, stores even charge around 5 cents USD per plastic bag if you don’t bring your own reusable bags. Buying foods like cereal, flour, pasta, dried fruit, and rice from the bulk section can save you money as well as lots of plastic packaging. Instead of bagging bulk foods up in plastic bags, bring your own reusable bags or containers to store them in. Cotton bags, glass jars, and stainless steel containers are several waste-free storage options. If you’re worried about how your containers will affect the weighing and paying, go to the customer service desk. Most stores have weighing options for personal containers, and cotton bags usually have their weight printed on the bottom to make the process easier. Bottled water, soda, and juice generate tons of plastic waste. Eliminate your use of plastic bottles by finding alternatives--bring a reusable bottle to fill up with water, make your own soda or seltzer water with a machine like a SodaStream, or buy fresh fruit to make your own juice. With frozen food products--particularly frozen meals--plastic packaging is practically impossible to avoid. Even the cardboard, “eco-friendly” packaging is usually coated with plastic. Avoiding these highly processed and packaged products will make you and the environment healthier. When you buy toys or electronics new, they often come in lots of excess plastic packaging. By shopping secondhand, you can eliminate that waste and find a good-as-new product for a fraction of the price. Browse thrift stores, online postings, and garage...

Melvil Dewey originally created ten general categories that most books could be sorted into. The ten areas are listed below with their corresponding numbers.  000 - Generalities, Computer Science, and Information 100 - Philosophy and Psychology 200 - Religion 300 - Social Sciences (anthropology, archeology, sociology) 400 - Language 500 - Natural Sciences (biology, astronomy, etc.) and Mathematics 600 - Technology (applied sciences) 700 - The Arts 800 - Literature and Rhetoric 900 - Geography and History Each of the ten areas contain 99 divisions - more specific categories that fall under the larger areas. Additional decimals indicate the even even smaller sections, which are even more specific. Decimals are added if the topic is even more specific. An example of this specification process is below:  500 Natural Sciences and Mathematics   590 Zoology     595 Arthropods       595.7 Insects         595.78 Lepidoptera           595.789 Butterflies The Dewey Decimal System is great when you're browsing. If you wanted a book on Ethics, for example, you would go to 170. Once you were there you could scan the shelves for a book on an area of Ethics that interested you. This is infinitely more convenient than alphabetical arrangement, in which you might find a book on turtles next to one about turbulence in politics. If your library is large and you would rather not spend a whole day browsing books on the Arts, you could go online for a guide to the various general categories, divisions, and sections. Websites with Dewey Decimal System guides include OCLC, The University of Illinois, IPL.

TL;DR in English: Know the ten general areas of content. Understand divisions and sections. Browse using the system. Look online to learn the categories.

The proper use of a semicolon is similar, but not identical, to that of a comma. The semicolon marks the end of one independent clause and the start of another within a single sentence. Note that, if the two clauses are very wordy or complex, it is better to use a period (full stop) and form two sentences instead. Here's an example of a semicolon being used correctly:People continue to worry about the future; our failure to conserve resources has put the world at risk. Usually, the items in a series are separated by commas, but for cases in which one or more items require comment or explanation, semicolons can be used in conjunction with commas to keep the reader from becoming confused. Use semicolons to separate items and their explanations from one another. To separate an item from its own explanation, use a comma. Here's an example of semicolons being used correctly in a list whose meaning might otherwise be ambiguous:I went to the show with Jake, my close friend; his friend, Jane; and her best friend, Jenna. Be careful, however, not to use a colon when stating an idea that requires naming a series of items. The two are similar, but distinct. Often the sentence-ending words "the following" or "as follows" will call for the use of a colon when they are followed by new, explanatory information.  Here's an example of a colon being used correctly in this fashion: The professor has given me three options: to retake the exam, to accept the extra credit assignment, or to fail the class.  Here, on the other hand, is an incorrect example: The Easter basket contained: Easter eggs, chocolate rabbits, and other candy.  In this case you would simply omit the colon. Colons can also be used after a descriptive phrase or explanation to imply that the next piece of information will be the thing being described or explained. It can help to think of this as introducing a list containing only one item. Here's an example of a colon being used properly in this way:There's only one person old enough to remember that wedding:...

TL;DR in English: Use a semicolon to separate two related but independent clauses. Use a semicolon to separate a complex series of items. Use a colon to introduce a list. Use a colon to introduce a new concept or example. Use a colon to separate parts of a title.

Most paper pulp will take a day to dry, though thicker pieces of paper may take longer. After a day, check the paper for dryness. If it's dry and holds together, it's ready to use.

TL;DR in English:


Make sure that the person is comfortable with the relationship.

Express your interest in a sustained relationship. Discuss boundaries. Be willing to compromise.

Use an orbital sander or standard sandpaper to sand down the area. Sand until the filler is evened out and it is level with the surrounding wood. Wipe it down to remove dust before painting or staining. Run your hand over the repaired area to see if it's smooth. Also, make sure you have filled in the hole and that it's level with the wood. Even if you filled in the hole completely, it may have settled out and left a depression or hole. If you haven't completely filled in the hole, repeat the process by adding more wood filler. Most wood fillers can be painted, but fillers may affect how the paint looks. If you use primer first, it can help even out the look of the area. This process works particularly well if you're painting a whole piece of furniture that you've repaired holes on. Once you've got the repaired area perfectly level with the rest of the wood, you can apply paint or stain to match the rest of the wood. If you're not sure of the paint or stain, you may want to test it first in an inconspicuous area to make sure it matches. You can also test stain on a piece of scrap wood.

TL;DR in English: Sand down the area until it is smooth and even with the wood. Check that the hole is filled in. Apply primer if you're painting the area. Paint or stain the area.

Before you do anything else, ensure that the fan is turned off and cannot turn back on until you are finished cleaning it. Most models will have a plug that is located directly behind the cover. You could remove the cover first and unplug the fan, but just to be safe, go and temporarily pull the breaker for your bathroom. The fan is now safe to work on. Unscrew the assembly that is holding the fan in place, then very gently remove the fan. Be careful not to drop the fan or hit it on the side of the exhaust pipe as that could potentially chip the fan blades. Broken fan blades will cause the fan to be louder and less effective.

TL;DR in English: Turn off the power. Remove the fan.

Do not use your good, jewelry wire cutters; they are much too delicate. Use pair of heavy duty ones instead. Memory wire is hard, and it can easily dull a good pair of wire cutters. Pinch the end of your wire with a pair of round-nose pliers. Twist the wire around the top of the pliers to form a loop, then pull the pliers out. Use the plies to squeeze the loop smaller, if needed. This will hold the beads in place and prevent them from sliding off the end of the wire. You can use different shapes, sizes, and colors of beads, or just one type for something simple. You can even use a different type of bead on each coil.  Don't cover the entire wire with beads. Leave a ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) tail at the end.. Small beads, such as bicorns and seed beads work great for memory wire bracelets. Avoid using any large, chunky beads, especially towards the end, as they might slide past the loops. Pinch the end of the wire with your round-nose pliers, and wrap the wire around it to form a loop. Pull the pliers out, and use them to pinch the loop smaller, if necessary. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to pull apart a jump ring. Slip a charm onto the jump ring, then place the ring where you want it on the bracelet. Use the needle-nose pliers to close the ring. Great places to put charms include at either end of the bracelet, or in the middle between two beads.

TL;DR in English: Measure out at least three coils of memory wire, add 1 inch (2.54 centimeters), and cut it using a pair of wire cutters. Use your round-nose plies to make a small loop at one end of the wire. Thread your beads onto the wire, leaving a ½ inch (1.27 centimeter) tail. Fold the tail end of the wire into another loop. Consider adding a charm using a jump ring. Finished.

Even though you are seeing each other frequently and going out on dates, the other person can’t be sure of your intentions unless you tell them. Let the person know that you are ready and interested in a relationship. You should also be willing to hear whether they want the same thing or not. For example, you could say “We’ve been going out for a while, and I know that we both enjoy being around each other. I just wanted to let you know that I'm interested in a serious relationship when the time's right for both of us.” Once you agree to be in a relationship, there are certain rules that come with that. The tricky part is that these rules are not the same for every person or couple. You should both sit down and discuss what boundaries you expect to be followed in the relationship.  For example, your partner might be okay with staying friends with exes, while that makes you uncomfortable. Discuss both sides and agree on something that makes you both comfortable. Creating boundaries can help you find a happy medium between what makes you and your partner feel comfortable. For example, you might agree that being friends with exes is okay, but constantly communicating with them is crossing the line. One of the hardest things about a relationship is that both people must be willing to compromise to make it work. That means you will have to do some things that you don’t like, and so will the other person. Keep an open line of communication about the relationship, and make sure that both people are giving and taking.  For example, you might both hate doing dishes and laundry. As a compromise, one of you could do dishes, and the other do laundry. Work to keep your lines of communication open throughout the course of your relationship. Unspoken issues may arise and create even larger problems later on if not addressed.

The oven is usually the best way to heat up large quantities of macaroni and cheese, especially if you are reheating a leftover casserole. A glass baking dish is ideal. Add about 1 tablespoon of milk per 1 cup of macaroni and cheese.  However, skip this step if you are reheating a mac and cheese casserole that has a crumb or crunchy topping. This should take 20-30 minutes. Add a layer of shredded cheese (cheddar works great!) to the top of your macaroni and cheese.  After 20 minutes, remove the foil, and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese topping is bubbly and brown. For a bit of extra crunch, you could stir in 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned bread crumbs to the shredded cheese before sprinkling it on top.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350º F (175º C). Place your macaroni and cheese in a shallow, oven-proof dish. Stir in some milk. Cover the baking dish with foil, and bake until heated through. For a nice topping, add some extra cheese on top.

Your teacher may assign a book to you, or give you a list from which to choose. If she/he doesn't give you a specific book, you may find it helpful to ask your school librarian to recommend something that's appropriate for the assignment. If you can, pick a book on a topic that interests you, as this will make it more enjoyable for you to read. Your teacher may give you an assignment or prompt that gives you specific details on the book report. Be sure you follow all the guidelines given, such as how long the report needs to be and what it needs to include.  Don't confuse a book report with a book review. A book report summarizes a book and may offer your opinion on a book, but it usually focuses more on facts about the book. A book review usually describes what a book says and evaluates how the book works. If you have any questions, ask your teacher. It's much better to ask questions when you don't understand something than to try to muddle through only to produce work that isn't what your teacher expected. It will be much easier to draft your book report if you've taken notes as you go along, rather than trying to remember everything at the end. As you read, jot down a few notes on the following:  Characters. If your book is fiction (or a biography or memoir), keep track of who the major characters are. What are they like? What do they do? Are they different at the end of the book than the beginning? Did you like them? Setting. This category mainly applies to fiction.

An extra pair of glasses is handy in case you experience irritation or infection, or are waiting on an updated prescription from your physician for your contacts. Care for your contact lenses and store them according the manufacturer and professional guidelines.   Always handle both glasses and contacts with clean hands. Wear and replace contact lenses according to the schedule provided by your eye care professional. Keep your contact lens case clean and replace it every three months. Remove contact lenses and contact your physician immediately if you experience redness, irritation, pain, sensitivity, blurry vision, eye discharge, or swelling. Wash your hands before applying products to your face and eye area, and keep product containers clean and dry. Throw away products that you use on or near your eyes at least every three months.  If you experience conjunctivitis or “pink eye,” it is especially important to toss makeup and products to prevent re-infection. Nearly 2.4 million eye injuries occur in the United States annually.  Protective eyewear includes safety glasses, goggles, safety shields, and eye guards. Make sure your employer follows safety guidelines and provides protective eyewear if needed. Follow workplace safety compliance and wear eye gear when instructed. The high-energy visible (HEV) light, often called “blue light” emitted by digital screens is the main culprit in damaging eye tissue.  Ensure computer monitors are about an arm’s length away (between 20-26 inches).  Tablets and smartphones should be held at least 16 inches away.
