You'll want to plant seeds about ¼ inch (.64 cm) deep and bury clippings ½ inch (1.3 cm) deep. You should be patient while awaiting your plants to emerge from the ground since seeds often sprout slowly, though indoor planting may see seeds sprout in less time.  You should avoid attempting to use seeds that have been stored long periods of time. As time passes, the chance the seeds will grow decreases.  Strip cuttings of their leaves on the end being planted. Plants usually take 5 to 10 days to sprout from the ground. However, your oregano may take more or less time depending on factors like soil quality, sunlight, and frequency of watering. During the first few months of growth, water your plants regularly to get them started. Once they are established, you can reduce the amount of water. Check whether your plant needs water or not by touching the soil around it. If it feels dry, you should thoroughly water the area. Plants in containers should be treated similarly to outdoor grown oregano. However, when watering, you should douse the plant until you notice water dripping from the drainage holes in the bottom of the container. By trimming or pinching the leaves and ends of your plant, you can encourage the growth of denser leaves. Wait until the plant is about 4 in (10.2 cm) tall, and use a pair of shears or scissors to lightly thin the outer growth.  Trimming also helps prevent excessive stem growth in your plant. This condition, called legginess, will reduce the yield of your crop. Where you trim your plant, you should notice it branch at that point when it continues growing. In turn, these branches will bear more leaves, meaning more oregano for you.  As you trim, you can use the fresh oregano in a recipe, or dry it to use later on. Sick or thin plants can crowd better ones and steal resources, negatively impacting the potential of the healthier plants. Plants that are three or four years old are at the end of the oregano life cycle and will be less productive, making these prime candidates for removal....

TL;DR in English: Plant your oregano. Water your oregano moderately. Trim your oregano for thicker growth. Remove older plants. Weed around your plants Pick your oregano.

If you think your child has scoliosis, either due to a positive screening at school or because somebody noticed that your child's back / body looks lopsided, then make an appointment with your family doctor or a medical specialist, such as an orthopedist. Scoliosis can progress very quickly in teenagers, so the sooner you seek medical advice the better. Doctors cannot prevent scoliosis completely, but they can properly assess it and provide you with options to combat its progression.  The doctor will likely take an x-ray and measure the angle of your child's scoliotic curve. Scoliosis is not considered very significant until the curve is greater than 25 – 30 degrees.  Scoliosis affects females more than males and it runs in families, so it can be hereditary in some cases. A common option for teenagers with progressive cases of scoliosis is wearing a back brace. Bracing can't prevent scoliosis, but it can help keep it from getting worse in some cases. Depending on how serious the scoliosis is and where the unnatural curves are, braces can be made of rigid plastic or stretchy elastic with metal inserts. They typically cover most of the torso and can be worn underneath clothing. Brace treatment is generally used when: a curve is greater than or equal to 25 degrees and appears to be progressing quickly, or the curve is discovered at a young age when the spine is still growing and is already over 30 degrees.  Most braces are worn at least 16 hours a day for many months or even a few years — until the spine stops growing. Several studies conclude that back bracing for scoliosis can keep spinal curves from getting large enough to require surgery.  In general, about 1/4 of children / teens with scoliosis may benefit from back bracing. Spinal surgery should be considered the last resort for scoliosis, but in some cases it is necessary to stop the deformity from progressing and causing health problems (from crowded organs) and long-term chronic pain and disability. Scoliosis surgery involves fusing together two or more...

TL;DR in English: Consult with your doctor. Ask your doctor about spinal bracing. Talk to your doctor about spinal surgery.

Unless you plan to lose more than one friend, leave mutual friends out of the drama. No one wants to be forced to pick between you and your new enemy. They also aren’t likely to enjoy listening to you talk badly about someone that they still consider a friend. If you need to talk to someone about the situation or vent your frustrations, do so with a friend that doesn’t know your former friend. You could also talk to a family member, counselor, or other supportive figure. If your mutual friends bring up your new nemesis, simply change the conversation and say something like “That situation is between the two of us. I think it’s best that I don’t involve our friends.” Anything you say could upset your friends or find its way back to your former friend. An enemy that was made from a friend is likely to be holding on to some sort of grudge. They may try to upset you or entice you to argue and bicker with them. The best thing that you can do is ignore any immature behaviors and focus on conducting yourself in a respectable way. Otherwise, you will be seen as being just as childish as your enemy. For example, if your enemy does something like leave a nasty note in your locker, just throw it away. There is no need to write a note back or confront them about it. Actually, you don’t even have to read it at all. When a social situation forces the two of you to interact, not only should you be prepared, but you should also be polite. Being rude will only invite your enemy to do the same. It can also ruin the event for everyone else. Avoid as much conversation as possible, but keep any conversation that you do have pleasant.  For example, if you go to a mutual friend’s birthday party, you might have to say something like, “Hi. How have you been?” After a short exchange you can move on. If you are rude to the other person or complain about them being invited, you might make the whole situation stressful on your friend who’s having the party. This will make things tense between you and your friend. When you do interact...

TL;DR in English: Handle the situation yourself. Overlook as much drama as possible. Be polite in social situations. Set clear boundaries.

Some bugs stay out in the open and are easy to find. Others, like cockroaches, are nocturnal and prefer dark and enclosed areas. If you know what type of bug you are trying to eliminate, research it to find out where it may be living in your house. A good place to start your search is in the kitchen, as many bugs are attracted to the smell of food. Because bugs are attracted to the smell of food, do your best to keep food out of any living areas for extended periods of time. Once you have found the bug, you need a tool with which to hit it and kill it. For most bugs, a newspaper, a piece of cardboard, a paper-back book or a regular fly swatter are good tools to use. Roll it up or position it in your hand so it is comfortable. Raise it about a foot above the insect. Alternatively, if the insect is on the ground you can stamp on it with your foot. Make sure that you are wearing shoes, preferably with a solid sole. Approach the insect and use the newspaper or fly swatter to hit the insect directly and with force. If using your foot, target the insect and stamp on it with the middle part of your shoe. It is important to move quickly and not to hesitate. Many insects like flies are extremely aware of their surroundings, and when they notice a threat they move immediately. Therefore, it's very important to do it quickly! You may want to clean up the insect remains after you are done. Using something disposable like a napkin or paper towel to clean up the insect is a great way of getting rid of it for good! After disposing of the insect, wipe down the surface you picked it up from using an all-purpose cleaner or a product like Clorox to ensure a complete clean.

Download an app to help. Use devices that incorporate light. Calculate your best wake up and bedtimes.

At this point, the calculation becomes much simpler if you convert from imperial units to metric units. When you are finished with all of the calculations you can convert kilograms back to pounds to get the weight in imperial units.  To convert cubic feet to cubic meters, use the conversion factor 0.0283 m3/ft3.  For the rectangular pond, multiply (750,000 ft3)(0.0283) = 2122.5 m3. Density is affected by temperature and salinity (salt content) so the density of water in a warm freshwater lake will be different than that of an arctic ocean. If you are doing a rough estimation you can use a density of 1000 kg/m3 (the density of pure water).  Ocean water is more dense because of the salt content and is about 1027 kg/m3. Colder water is more dense than warmer water, but for this type of general calculation the changes due to temperature can be ignored. The next step in getting to the weight of your body of water is converting the total volume you calculated into a mass. This is done by multiplying by the density of the liquid. For example: The pond contains fresh water, so use the density of water of 1000 kg/m3. Multiply the volume in m3 by this density: (2122.5)(1000) = 2,122,500 kg. The total mass of the pond in kilograms is 2,122,500. The final step is to convert kilograms back to pounds. To do this, you use the conversion factor 2.2 kg/lb. Simply multiply the number of kilograms by 2.2 to get the number of pounds. For example: 2,122,500 x 2.2 = 4,669,500 lbs. The total weight of the pond is 4,669,500 pounds.

TL;DR in English: Convert the volume to meters cubed. Identify the density of the liquid of the body of water. Multiply volume by density to calculate mass. Convert mass to weight in pounds.

If your bike has a kickstand, rest your bike on it. If your bike doesn't have a kickstand, lean it up against a wall or a table so it stays upright. You can also set the bike upside-down so that it rests on its seat and handlebars. In this case, all directions are the opposite (clockwise instead of anti-clockwise). Look at the space in between the pedal and the crank arm (the metal arm that your pedals are attached to). If you see flats for a spanner (wrench) to grip on, you’ll need to use a pedal spanner (wrench). If you don’t see spanner (wrench) flats, check for a hexagonal Allen-key (wrench) socket at the end of the axle that connects the pedal to the crank arm. If you see the socket, you’ll need an Allen-key (wrench).  If you need to use a pedal spanner (wrench), a 15 mm (0.59 in) wrench will usually work for an adult bike. For some children’s bikes, you will need a 9⁄16 in (14 mm) spanner (wrench). Some pedal spanners (wrenches) have openings in both of these standard sizes. A 6 mm (0.24 in) Allen-key (wrench) will usually work for bikes with Allen-key (wrench) sockets. Some bike pedals are designed so you can use either a pedal spanner (wrench) or an Allen-key (wrench). If you see spanner (wrench) flats on your bike pedal, still check the end of the axle to see if there’s an Allen-key (wrench) socket there. If you’re using a pedal spanner (wrench), wrap the jaws of the spanner (wrench) around the spanner (wrench) flats between the pedal and the crank arm. If you’re using an Allen-key (wrench), insert the hexagonal end of the spanner (wrench) into the Allen-key (wrench) socket on the end of the pedal axle. Make sure you start with the right pedal. The direction you need to rotate the spanner (wrench) to loosen the right pedal is different to the left pedal. If you’re using a pedal spanner (wrench), make a half rotation and lift the spanner (wrench) off the flats. Hold onto the opposite pedal while you do this to give yourself more leverage. Replace the spanner (wrench) on the flats with the handle back...

TL;DR in English: Secure your bike on a flat surface. Check the pedals to see what kind of spanner (wrench) you’ll need. Place the spanner (wrench) on the right pedal. Rotate the spanner (wrench) counterclockwise to loosen the right pedal. Take the right pedal off and set it aside. Repeat on the left pedal but rotate the spanner (wrench) clockwise instead.

It’s nearly impossible to open your heart when you are still nursing old wounds. Healing requires acknowledging what hurts. Simply speaking your hurts aloud can impact the way you view them. Often, when things hurt, you may try to ignore them. The only way to move on is by acknowledging what happened. It’s time to admit that you were hurt and truly feel these painful emotions you have been suppressing. If your ex broke your heart by cheating, admit to it. You might say, “I was heartbroken when Sasha cheated. It really made it hard for me to trust again.” Experiencing emotional pain can cause you to develop negative beliefs about all people. These beliefs become ingrained and, over time, close your heart to love. To heal, you must identify the thought patterns that cause you to shut others out.  For example, you think “Because my best friend neglected me when I most needed him, it’s best not to count on others.” As a result, you never let anyone in or ask for help when you need it. Challenge this belief by asking yourself some questions: What evidence is there that makes this true? Is this belief always true? Am I considering the full picture about what happened? Does this belief promote happiness and well-being? Use these questions to attack the negative beliefs or assumptions you have built about others. In order to open your heart, you must risk letting go of the past. Holding on to all that’s happened before only weighs you down, making it harder for you to embrace new relationships and opportunities. Perform a ritual to release old hurts and invite in a fresh perspective.  Write down in detail what happened to you and your reaction to the hurt. Then, write down the incident from the perspective of the other person who hurt you. Remember how they reacted and imagine how they must have felt. This helps you see the situation from a different perspective. Once you have fully released the event by writing it down on paper, destroy the paper. Toss it into a fire, tear it into tiny pieces, or bury it in the...

TL;DR in English: Acknowledge your open wounds. Challenge negative beliefs. Let go of the pain with a release ritual. Seek professional help.

Believe it or not, “there’s an app for that.” Smartphones have several different apps that you can use to help wake you up while you are in stage 1 sleep.  Some apps work by attempting to determine the stage of sleep you are in by monitoring your body movements. This requires placing the phone a certain way on the mattress and provides for a target wake-up time which varies based on the readings from the app. Other available technologies use headbands to determine brainwave activity and wakes you when you are in the lighter stages of sleep. To balance the melatonin response in your body, some alarms have been designed in the form of lamps.  The alarm lamps use wavelengths of light that mimic natural daylight. Prior to your designated alarm time, the lamp begins by emitting low levels of light which gradually increase as your alarm time approaches. This helps to make your brain think it is daytime. Many available lamps use blue wavelengths of light which more naturally mimic natural light sources. Regular artificial lighting does not work. Artificial lighting does not send the same messages to your brain to wake up or help with regulating your sleep-wake cycle. In addition to the non-traditional methods available as morning alarms, you may also want to calculate the time to go to sleep and to set your alarm based on standard sleep cycles.  The standard sleep cycle is 90 minutes in length. Setting your alarm device, whatever you select, with 90-minute sleep intervals in mind, can help to minimize the amount of sleep inertia you experience. Once you fall asleep, your first 90-minute cycle begins. It may take some effort to determine the number of hours of sleep your body needs each night, but once you know that number you can use the amount of sleep you need in combination with the 90 minute sleep cycle time frame to optimize your sleep quality. Figure out your best bedtime by doing the math in reverse. Start with the time you need to get up each morning and calculate in reverse using 90-minute sleep cycles to...

Get to know him. Laugh at his jokes. Feed off his humor.

Making sure your body is in top physical condition before labor begins can reduce the likelihood of a prolonged labor. Preparing your body for what's to come can make labor easier and quicker when your baby arrives. Walk or swim regularly, and incorporate a few specialized exercises.  Kegels, small internal contractions of the pelvic muscles, can help your body with the pushing stage of labor and also reduce the risk of hemorrhoids in the weeks after childbirth. You can do kegels virtually anywhere. Simply contract the muscles around your vagina, as you would when holding in urine, then hold for four seconds and release. Repeat this 10 times. Three or four sets, done about three times a day, is ideal.  The pelvic tilt, also known as the angry cat, can strengthen abdominal muscles and reduce back pain during pregnancy. Get on your hands and knees, keeping your arms straight without locking your elbows. Tighten your abdominal muscles when breathing in and move your buttocks below your back. Relax your back when you breathe out and repeat at your own pace. Move in time to the rhythm of your breath.  Squatting helps open your pelvis, important for labor. Stand with a chair facing your back and, using the chair for support, contract abdominal muscles, lift your chest, and relax your shoulders. Lower your tailbone to the floor, as if you were going to sit down on the chair, and then rise again to the standing position. Making sure your body is healthy before delivery is vital to a smooth labor. Nutrition is just as important as exercise. Each woman's body is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all guideline to how much weight you should gain.  The adage that you're eating for two is false as your caloric intake does not double. However, you should increase the amount of calories you're eating as your pregnancy progresses. In general, a woman with a BMI between 18.5 and 25.9 should gain between 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. A woman with a BMI higher than this should only gain 15 to 25 pounds. Discuss how much...

TL;DR in English: Stay fit during pregnancy. Monitor your weight during your pregnancy. Follow the food pyramid during pregnancy. Rest between your contractions.

Video is a visual medium, and while voice overs and text are great to get information across they are not incredibly compelling. If you're shooting alone you will not be able to use dialog, actors, or a ton of sound to tell your story. What you have, however, is all the time in the world to set up great shots, capture good video, and work on creating compelling angles. Have the mind of a photographer on every shot. Ask yourself if, on its own, the image is interesting. A storyboard is just the comic book version of your movie. They are invaluable ways to design your film, allowing you to "see" the movie before shooting. It then acts as your guidebook to the film. You can find and print templates online, or simply draw out your basic shots in advance with pen and paper. Improvising for the camera has it's place, of course. But storyboards are a good way to plan where the camera should go. Camera microphones are notoriously bad, and they become useless when the camera is far away from the action. An external microphone will make a huge difference in your production quality, since most audiences notice bad sound before rough video. Make discrete, compelling "scenes" instead of turning the camera on and letting it run while you move around. This ensures that you think about each scene individually and it makes editing much easier. Focus works by sharpening the image at one particularly distance from the camera. If you move around the camera will struggle to keep up, shifting focus or becoming blurry. Put down a small piece of tape that tells you where you need to sit or stand for each take. Films of any lengths are built in the editing booth.The more raw material, or film, that you have to work with the happier you will be, and the easier it will be to make a great movie. Grab different angles of the same shot, run through different lines, or videotape your environment for atmospheric shots. Every extra shot counts. Experiment with shots. Take crazy angles, get weird, abstract shots of everyday objects, and...

TL;DR in English: Focus on telling your story or idea visually. Make a storyboard of your film. Use an external mic instead of the camera microphone. Shoot in short bursts, not long single takes, when getting lots of footage. Stay in one place if you are filming yourself. Get 3-5 times the footage you think you need.

A wedding program is basically a list of the events at your wedding ceremony. You will want to ensure that the events are listed in sequential order on the program. Here is a list of items to consider for your wedding program:  Name of bride and groom. Date and location of the ceremony. Processional and recessional music selections. Greetings from the officiant. Special readings (cite the readings and also include the name of the reader). Prayers or religious customs. Exchanging of vows and rings (some people like to print their vows in the program. This will take up extra space and may cause the program to be too long.) Lighting of unity candle or special song. Pronouncement of marriage. Typically, the person officiating your wedding will have a general outline for how they perform a wedding ceremony. Make sure that you talk about any additional readings or songs you would like to include and arrange where they should be placed in the ceremony. A wedding program is a great place to provide the names of the bride's and groom’s parents along with the wedding party. Remember that many people attending your wedding will not know each other. A list of names can allow you to introduce your parents and bridal party to your guests.  For example, list the parents of the bride, parents of the groom, maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids, and groomsmen. You may also want to include the names of grandparents. If your wedding reception is in a different location from your wedding ceremony, it is a good idea to include the address for the reception on the back of the program. This will help your guests with traveling from the ceremony to the reception. You may also want to include a map and directions to help your guests as they travel.

TL;DR in English: Outline your ceremony. Speak with your officiant to help determine the order of events. Consider a section to introduce parents and the bridal party. Add the address of the reception.

Humor is subjective. What you find funny won't necessarily be the same thing even your best friend finds funny. So in order to know what tickles his funny bone, get to know him! What TV shows does he like? What comedians? What kind of humor does he use to amuse others? All of these are cues as to what gets him giggling. The most aptly-timed joke on, say, Foucault won't be appreciated by the type of guy who prefers laughing at toilet humor. And it works the other way around, too. Does the guy you're eyeing prefer bro banter? Is he into witty non-sequiturs about current events? Can he be slayed by a play on words in Klingon? Find out! On the whole, women value a sense of humor more than men do. What do men want? Someone who will make them feel funny. Instead of trying to impress him, show him that he impresses you. Showing him that he has the right to laugh at his own jokes, too, because he's just so darn awesome could win him over in no time. You don't have to laugh at every joke he makes like your world has just been altered. If he drops a dud, laugh at him, albeit playfully. Did he just try an unfunny, stereotypical, sexist, blonde joke? Oh, honey. Let him know how cute he is for trying with a fake chuckle and a forced grin. When we click with people, chemistry is pretty Unable to ignore. To show him that you just get him and that you appreciate his humor, feed off of it! Did he just whip out his Sean Connery impression on a dime? Keep it going with your best Alex Trebek or Pussy Galore (doesn't have to be good -- this moment is about him). If not an impression, can you drop a line from a movie or challenge him to up his game to Christopher Walken? Establishing a banter can develop a rapport between you two, creating a bond that won't easily be broken. Whether his humor is self-deprecating or straight out of Family Guy, go with it. Show him that you appreciate how fun he is.

Play a sport. Hone your communication skills. Make industry connections. Look for a job in sports journalism or broadcasting.

Avoid walking alone as this may attract the bully. If there isn't anyone else around to walk with, take a path where there are a lot of people who will see if the bully tries to harass you. Most bullies won’t approach a group of people. They want to make you feel bad or get a reaction from you. With friends there to support you, they know you’re less likely to respond with the emotion they want.  Bullies are less likely to pick on you, if they think they’ll be the “odd man out.” Sticking with your friends will discourage them from bullying you. Tell your friends about the bullying, and ask them to stick up for you in case the bully does approach. Don’t put yourself in a situation where the bully will have an opportunity to verbally or physically attack you. Think about where you’ve come in contact with your bully in the past, and try to find alternate routes, shift your schedule, or change habits to avoid the bully. Don’t let your bully dramatically impact your day to day life, but if you can easily circumvent the places you run into them, doing so may be the easiest way to avoid conflict.  For instance, if you often run into the bully on your way home from a specific event, plan for an alternate route that won't take you past your bully. If you have to see your bully in a class, try to walk as far away from them as possible, and avoid sitting near them. If your bully frequents the same coffee shop or other public location, consider going at a different time of day. If they call you names, don't say anything in response. Most bullies are behaving in a harassing way to get a specific reaction from you. If you don’t respond at all, they are more likely to lose interest. Not responding may also make the bully angrier, so make sure to read their responses and leave possibly hostile situations. This may be easier said than done. In some cases, the bully will not want you to walk away, and will continue to follow and harass you. If the bully tries to physically attack you, it is especially important to walk away...

TL;DR in English: Stick with your friends. Avoid places where the bully hangs out. Ignore your bully. Walk away.

If you have the opportunity, think about trying out for a sports team. Having a practical knowledge of the sports you’ll be reporting on can be a major plus. Becoming an athlete will give you a chance to work closely with other players, coaches, recruiters and journalists, and afford you a behind-the-scenes look into the workings of the industry.  If you’re not a student and don’t have the option of trying out for a school team, look into joining a community league in your area. Quite a few well-known sportscasters got their start as players rather than educated journalists. Start writing out your thoughts and analyses of sporting events for practice. A substantial amount of the expert opinions offered by sports analysts are written down in the form of blurbs, editorials and written interviews. You should also work on polishing your verbal skills and becoming comfortable talking to people to prepare for conducting interviews and appearing on radio or television.  A lot of writing goes into sports reporting, even if you’re working in broadcasting. The better you’re able to write, the better you’ll be at doing your job.  Devise a system for interviewing players, coaches and other personnel. Know how to make the best use of a short interview segment, and which questions to ask to receive the information you’re after. Attend sporting events regularly and meet as many industry professionals as you can. See if you can take up a minute of the coach’s time, or ask a sports reporter or even a camera technician how they broke into the business. Give your name to everyone you meet and let them know that you’re interested in getting started as a sportscaster. This way, they’ll remember you once it comes time to put your networking to use. Don’t be shy about asking for advice. Most sports reporters are very comfortable talking to people and will be happy to share the secrets of their success with you. When you feel prepared, start seeking out jobs in sports journalism. You may have to smart small initially, working for...

TL;DR in English:


Pay attention to fear. Note when you become self-conscious in a social setting. Consider whether you avoid social settings. Think about how often you stay quiet during discussions.

Mix one teaspoon (5 ml) into ¼ cup (59 ml) of water. Apply one drop of the solution to a hidden spot on the fabric. Wait for one minute and then blot the spot dry with a white cloth. If the color does not bleed or fade, it should be safe to use bleach on it.  Choose a hem for shirts you tuck in and an inseam or spot around the waist on pants. It’s also smart to check the tags on clothes. There will be a warning if the clothes are sensitive to bleach. Remember when you add bleach to your laundry not to let the bleach come into direct contact with the laundry. To accomplish this, start the washer before you put any laundry into it. Let the basin fill at least halfway before you add detergent and bleach. Bleach does not wash clothes, so you still need to use detergent to clean your laundry. If your machine has a detergent compartment, measure out the detergent and add it. If the machine has no detergent compartment, pour it directly into the water. For small loads, use about ½ cup (118 ml) of bleach. If you have an extra large load, it’s okay to use closer to a full cup (237 ml) of bleach. Pour it into a bleach compartment or directly into the water. Washer sizes and load sizes vary, so you’ll have to adjust how much bleach you use. Let the washer finish filling with water so that the bleach mixes up and dilutes into the water. When the machine is almost full, put your load of laundry into the water. Make sure it goes all the way into the water rather than floating on top.

TL;DR in English: Test the colorfastness of non-white fabrics. Fill the washer with water. Pour your detergent into the washer. Add about ½-¾ cup (118-177 ml) of bleach for a standard size load. Push the laundry down into the water.

You don't have to wait around for the perfect chance to say something to your crush.  You could always ask a random person that you find cute for a stick of gum. Talking to people you're attracted to will improve your comfort level when talking to someone you really have a crush on. Being at home can be a hard time when you're heels deep in a crush's spell. Your parents can offer valuable advice because they went through what you're going through. If you're not comfortable talking to your folks about it then ask a cool uncle or a sibling you're open with. Sharing what you are going through help elevate pressure you feel when you're near your crush. Writing out your feelings and ideas can be a great therapy.  Whether you write memories, letters, or your personal thoughts, you are practicing an expressive process that strengthens your physiological growth and health. It is important to face your emotions by yourself.  It is a good time to reflect on how this crush is only a person.  Write whatever feels right. Don't concern yourself with typos or grammar, this is for you. If you have friends or a younger sibling around, you might consider keeping this in a private location. Staying after school for clubs or sports could be a great way of distancing yourself from your crush.  Playing sports will especially help by pushing yourself both mentally and physically.  Staying too stagnant will not help you act normally around a crush.  Think of exerting yourself as a way of releasing your frustrations. This is a good way of dealing with nervousness on a larger scope. Physical activity improves your mental state in your everyday life.

TL;DR in English: Practice talking to other people. Talk to a family member. Keep a journal. Do extracurricular activities.

Do you become filled with terror at the thought of being put on the spot at a social event? Are you afraid that people will judge you? This fear can come from being asked a personal question in front of others, or just being invited to a social gathering of any kind. If you have SAD, this fear would dominate your thoughts and causes you to feel panicked. For example, if you have SAD, you may feel a sense of terror when a friend asks you a question in front of people you don’t know. You may worry that people will judge you for what you say and be too afraid to say anything as a result. A common symptom of SAD is a feeling of self-consciousness that dictates how a person interacts with others. People with SAD are always afraid that they will embarrass themselves or get rejected in some way. If you feel extremely self-conscious when in a social setting, before a social interaction, or before a public talk, you may have SAD. For example, if you feel like you have nothing of value to say when you are discussing a subject that you are actually passionate about, you may have social anxiety. Instead of contributing your ideas and opinions, you may be obsessing over thoughts that the other people don’t like how you are dressed or that they don't think you are intelligent. A common trait of someone with SAD is avoiding instances where they may be forced to speak or interact in a social setting. If you go out of your way to avoid social interactions or having to speak in front of others, you may have social anxiety. For example, if you are invited to a party but you refuse to go because you are too nervous about hanging out with other people, you may have social anxiety. People with SAD generally fade to the back of discussions because they are too nervous about voicing their thoughts. They are afraid that what they say will displease others or warrant ridicule. If you often find yourself staying silent during conversations out of fear, this may indicate that you have SAD. For example, if you are in a discussion with...

The more comfortable you are talking to your parents about everyday stuff, the easier it will be to talk about difficult subjects. Having regular chats will also make it easier for you and your parents to understand each other. Instead of hiding in your room after coming home from school, take a few minutes to talk about how your day went.  For example, you could talk to them about something funny that happened in class, or tell them about what you’d like to do over the weekend. Ask your parents how they’re doing, too. Showing that you’re interested in them and willing to listen will encourage them to listen to you in return. You could say something like, “How’s that new gardening project coming along, Dad?” If you need to talk to your parents about something difficult, take time beforehand to think about exactly what you want to tell them. This will help you express yourself more clearly and feel more confident when it’s time to have the talk.  For example, if you made a mistake, you might plan to say something like, “I messed up today, and I feel really bad about it. I’m afraid you might be disappointed in me, but I really need to tell you what happened.” Think about what you want from your parents, too. They’ll have an easier time understanding you if you clearly express what you want to get out of the conversation. For example, you might say, “I don’t really want advice, Mom. I just need to get this off my chest.” Your parents will have an easier time listening to you and understanding what you’re trying to say if they’re not distracted or stressed out by other things. Try to choose a time to talk when you and your parents are both calm and unlikely to get interrupted.  If you’re not sure when would be a good time, don’t hesitate to ask! Say something like, “There’s something important I want to talk about. Is now a good time?” You can also make a plan with your parents ahead of time about when to talk. For example, you could say, “Is it okay if we talk for a few minutes after dinner tonight?” Your...

TL;DR in English: Make time to chat with your parents every day. Decide what you want to say before having a difficult talk. Pick a good time to talk about tricky subjects. Be direct and honest when you speak to your parents. Use “I” language to express your feelings. Listen Keep your tone and words respectful.

Although male carpenter bees are virtually harmless to humans, male bees will become aggressive when threatened or when threatening creatures enter their territory. Often, carpenter bees will hover closely around humans who near their nests in an attempt to scare them away.  Despite their belligerency, carpenter bees are extremely unlikely to injure humans due to the male's lack of a stinger.  Male bees are known to dive-bomb a perceived threat. Carpenter bees will return from hibernation in late April or early May, depending on the temperature. Males are the first to appear, as female carpenter bees spend most of the early months laying eggs and caring for larvae. Carpenter bees burrow in softwood and will rarely be found in living trees. Look for bees under wood areas that are not often disturbed (like beneath the porch stairs or on the entryway ceiling). Carpenter bees are not indigenous everywhere. This species prefers climates with warm summers. Homes in the southern states (from Arizona to Florida) and all eastern states are all at-risk for infestation.  States at-risk for carpenter bee infestation include: Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North/South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Carpenter bees are also indigenous to countries with similar climates to the southern and eastern United States.

TL;DR in English: Look for aggressive bees. Pay attention to bees appearing in late spring. Spot bees hovering near house eaves. Check for carpenter bees in the eastern and southern United States.

If you don’t have any experience quilting, consider taking a class and starting with a very simple pattern. This is a convenient use for any textiles that are too worn or stained to be presentable. You can put them in shallow cardboard boxes to create pet beds, or add them to the pet beds you already have for extra padding. If you have a sheet or tablecloth that is still in good condition but has a tear or stain that makes it unusable, cut out the damaged part and turn the rest into napkins. Cut 18 in × 18 in (46 cm × 46 cm) squares out of the sheet and make 1 in (2.5 cm) hems on the edges.  You can make a simple hem by folding each edge of the square back about 1 in (2.5 cm) and sewing it in place. This will keep the edges from fraying. It can be helpful to iron the fold so it stays in place while you sew it. Start by cutting the sleeves off, making each cut from the armpit to the collar. You should leave about 6 in (15 cm) of collar when you cut.  On the back side of the shirt cut a straight line across between the armpits. Fold the remaining piece of collar under about 1 in (2.5 cm), then sew it in place. The collar will now have a small hem that you can run a string or cord through, which you can tie around your neck to hold the shirt in place. If the hems or knees of your jeans have worn out, but they still fit...

Select a bikini top with underwire if you want extra support, or go with a thin strappy set for a flirty, sexy choice. Pick your favorite style, color, and you’ll be ready for the beach! For instance, choose a hot pink bikini for a cute option, or go for a floral pattern for a summertime style. Tankinis are also a two-piece style, but they have a more modest top. One-piece bathing suits come in open-back, deep “V” necklines, and monokini options if you want a flirty touch. These bathing suits come in all sorts of patterns and colors, so choose one that catches your eye and suits your style.  Women’s bathing suit tops usually are sized by bust measurement, and bottoms often correspond to your pant size. A monokini is a one-piece style with an open back and cut-outs on the side. This is essentially a bikini that also covers your tummy. If you have a few pairs of bikinis or tankinis, consider swapping out certain tops and bottoms to customize your swimwear. This is a great way to change up your style and add a personal touch to your outfit.  For instance, if you have a royal blue bikini and a polka-dotted tankini, you can wear the polka dotted tankini top with the blue bottoms. If you are wearing a feminine style bathing suit, you can wear boardshorts in addition to your bathing suit bottoms. They can be more comfortable when walking around the boardwalk or taking a stroll down the shore.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should give children two doses of MMR at different times to prevent measles from occuring. Give the first shot of MMR to children between 12-15 months of age, and the second shot between 4-6 years old. Kids need both doses to have the best immunity.  As long as the second dose is 28 days after the first dose, children can get the second dose earlier. The important thing is to give two shots at least 28 days apart. Children between the ages of 1-12 years can get the MMRV vaccine instead, which covers varicella (chickenpox) as well as measles, mumps, and rubella. Teens who attend college or another post-high school institution should be able to show evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. If not, administer two doses of MMR at least 28 days apart.  ”Evidence of immunity” is when your patient can show written proof that they have been vaccinated, have had all three diseases, or have had blood tests done showing they are immune to all three diseases. Check your patient's medical records or try to consult with their previous doctor. Give one dose to adults who cannot demonstrate evidence of immunity. Adults born before 1957 do not need the vaccine, however.

TL;DR in English: Administer MMR to children at 12-15 months and 4-6 years of age. Ensure teens are up to date on their MMR vaccine. Vaccinate adults who are not immune.

The initial shock of the eight word induction will fade if not followed up with a script that takes him into a deeper state of hypnosis. For this, follow up in a calm tone with a couple of sentences asking the subject to fall into a deeper sleep.  The two best ways to deepen the hypnosis are described below: rocking the head and performing a countdown. Pick whichever you are most comfortable with; rocking the head will require some physical contact with the subject. If the subject is positioned so that he falls over into a slump after you pull away his hand, some hypnotists will begin to rock the subjects head with their hands to induce a more relaxed state. As you do that, you can tell him to let his neck relax and let that feeling of relaxation spread throughout his body. Tell him to let his mind and body relax until he falls into a deep sleep. Tell him, for example: "As I rock your head you will go deeper and deeper into a trance. The more I rock your head the deeper you go, the deeper you go the better you feel, the better you feel the deeper you go ... " Tell him that he will become more relaxed as you count down from 1 to 5. Every time you count down a number, describe to him how he is felling. “1, the relaxation is spreading through your body. 2, the relaxation is getting deeper. 3, your mind is becoming relaxed. 4, you no longer feel anything but the sense of relaxation. 5, your relaxation is getting deeper with every passing second.”  Alternatively try something like: “10, you feel yourself relaxing. 9, going deeper and deeper. 8, doing excellently, keep going. 7, with each number I say you will be in a deeper trance. 6, deeper, excellent. 5, farther and farther, relax completely now. 4, 3, you're doing well. 2, even farther away from the world. 1, 0. You are now in a deep trance.” Shortly before you try to awake him, tell him that it is almost time to “wake up” and “become more aware.” To make the transition peaceful, indicate how he will feel when he comes out of hypnosis.  Tell him that when he...

Once you've examined all elements, try to put it all together. As you do so, push yourself to scrutinize each aspect of your dream. This will help you meticulously consider the potential meanings.  For example, you remember an image from the dream. You are swimming in the ocean with your best friend when a large herd of seals approach. The seals surround you, and your friend is nowhere to be found. Start asking questions. What did the seals look like? What kind of seals were they? What do seals normally represent to you? What does the beach normally represent to you? How did you feel when the seals approached? Were you concerned about where your friend went? Try to figure out what the seals in your dream meant. After you've answered a variety of questions regarding the dream, think about what meaning these answers point towards.  Again, think about what seals mean to you traditionally. For example, seals were your favorite animal as a child. Your father used to take you to the zoo to see seals when you were very young. You can apply this meaning to the example above as you consider the other symbols in the scene. Your best friend is a friend from college, a time in life when you left your childhood behind. You rarely went to the beach as a child, as you lived in an urban area. You felt happy when the seals surrounded you, and were not particularly worried about where your friend was. Childhood images in this scene made you feel at peace. This dream could potentially represent a longing to return to childhood. Maybe you miss something about your youth. You need to return to your personal feelings in the present to see what the dream was trying to tell you. Remember, dreams can sometimes be a reflections of your current emotions. Again, think about what you've been going through lately.  Think about the feelings and thoughts you had in the dream. Have you had those same feelings and thoughts during real life recently? For example, maybe you felt the same sense of happiness earlier in the week when your brother...

TL;DR in English: Question each image in your dream. Figure out what the seals mean in your specific dream. Reflect on your feelings again. Apply the interpretation to your current situation.

If you feel like you have tried everything on your own and need to talk to someone higher up, then it’s time to arrange a meeting with a supervisor to discuss the problems you’re having with your boss. There’s no point in delaying the inevitable if you feel like you really can’t work together with your boss. If you’ve tried everything and know that your relationship has reached a dead end, then it’s time to talk to your supervisor about the situation. Don’t be nervous, and stick to discussing the facts instead of getting emotional. The more concrete examples you have, the more respect you’ll get. Make sure you use professional language and avoid bad-mouthing your boss in front of your supervisor. You don’t want to say something that makes your supervisor lose respect for you, too. Remember that you want to look like the calm, reasonable one, and that your boss is the one who has been causing all the problems. If you truly feel that you’ve been discriminated against because of your age, race, gender, or something else beyond your control, then it may be time to take action. You can consult the EEOC for free, or seek out an employee attorney for a fee if you think you’ve been discriminated against and are in a protected class. Don’t be nervous about taking this measure if this is what’s happening; though it won’t be pleasant, this may be the best way to meet your needs. If you’ve witnessed fraud at your company and want to take action, remember that the False Claims Act requires you to first file your claim before you disclose it publicly. One option that isn’t as extreme as leaving your company but which can make you a lot happier at your workplace is to see if you can be transferred to a different department, or even transferred to a different boss.

This is usually easy. If you are a book publisher, then look on the manuscript or at the cover letter. It should state who owns copyright. Authors also reserve film and TV rights to their works, so if you want to turn a book into a movie or television show, then the owner of the copyright should own those rights. An author might already have been approached by a producer to turn a book in a movie. If so, the author might already have assigned those rights to someone. You can check with the U.S. Copyright Office.</ref>https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/how-to-option-the-film-rights-for-a-book/</ref>  You can search the U.S. Copyright Office online at http://www.copyright.gov/records/. Search for both pre-1978 and post-1978 records. You will be able to find more post-1978 records, but it’s important to search both time frames. If you see that the author has already assigned the rights to someone else, then you are out of luck. You should call the author to confirm that they own the rights and that the rights are available. There’s no point negotiating for the rights with someone if they are not available. If you are a producer, then you will need to find a telephone number. Look at the copyright registration. If you can’t find a phone number, then contact the book’s publisher.

When unloading a loaded gun, you must handle it with special care to prevent injury or death.  Even if the safety mechanism is on and you think the gun may not be loaded, you must still treat it as though it were loaded Keep all fingers off of the trigger while unloading the gun. Your fingers must remain to the outside of the trigger guard throughout the entire process. You should also point the muzzle of the gun in a safe direction throughout the entire procedure. You will need to tilt the barrel and magazine tube at different angles at different points of the process, but regardless of the specifics, you should always make sure that the gun is not pointing at any living being or valuable property. Cycle the bolt to open the chamber. If there is a bullet sitting in the chamber, this action should cause the bullet to eject from the gun.  Even though this is a semi-automatic gun and not a bolt-action rifle, there is still a bolt that allows you to manually manipulate the chamber. The bolt on a Winchester Model 190 is a small knob located at the side of the chamber. When the chamber is closed, this bolt will face toward the front of the gun. When you pull the bolt toward the back of the gun, the chamber should open and the bullet inside should be ejected. Point the muzzle in a safe direction and look down into the chamber from the back of the gun. Verify that there are no other bullets inside the chamber or barrel of the gun.  You should approach the gun from the back as you look down into the chamber. Do not look into the chamber from the front of the firearm. If there are additional bullets in the chamber, you may need to tap the outside of the gun barrel to help free the trapped bullet. After freeing the bullet, you should be able to drop it out of the chamber opening. Pinch or unscrew the cap on the magazine tube follower to loosen it. Manipulate the cap in the same manner used when removing the follower during the loading process. Pull the follower cap forward. As you do this, the follower should glide out...

TL;DR in English: Handle the gun carefully. Eject the loaded round. Look into the chamber. Twist the cap. Remove the follower. Invert the gun. Tap the magazine. Work the bolt.

Put the berries in a strainer and hold it over the sink under the faucet. Turn on the cold water and rinse the strawberries off thoroughly to remove any dirt or grime. If your faucet has a spray nozzle, use this to give the berries a shower and cover more surface area at once. Hold a strawberry in 1 hand and pinch the green top leaves firmly between 2 fingers on your other hand. Gently twist and pull to remove the stem. The stems are edible, but they don't have a nice taste or texture, so removing them leaves you with just the tasty berry.  Don’t slice off the tops because it just wastes some of the tasty red fruit near the top. Make sure to wait until after you wash the strawberries and are ready to slice them to remove the tops.

TL;DR in English: Rinse the strawberries under cool water. Pick the green top stems off every strawberry.

Like many birds, the toes of budgies are covered in scaly skin. If you notice changes in your bird’s toe scales, however (abnormal color, size, shape, texture, etc.), this could indicate that your pet has scaly mites. Avimec/Scatt one drop on the skin on the back of the neck once a week for 2-3 weeks will kill the mites and eggs. A bird that is infected with a particular pest called air sac mites (Sternostoma tracheacolum) may have trouble breathing.  You might hear a clicking or wheezing sound when your budgie breathes if it has this problem. You may also notice your budgie’s tail flitting up and down, or that your bird breathes with its mouth open. These are also signs that the bird is having trouble breathing. Both ivermectin (Avimec/Scatt) and levamisole are effective against a variety of parasites, and are often prescribed to treat budgies infested with air sac mites. Unfortunately, the mortality rate for budgies afflicted with air sac mites is high, even with the availability of these medications.

Salt can cause your body to hold more water. This, in turn, can cause swelling or puffiness around your eyes. Reducing salt in your diet may be able to stop eye bags before they even start.  Cook your own food instead of eating out or buying prepared dishes. This will allow you to control exactly how much salt you add to your food. If you do order out, avoid adding extra salt to the dish. Avoid fried food, prepackaged snacks, canned soups, sauces, and processed meats like ham or bacon. These are all usually high in sodium. Look for low-sodium options when shopping, such as unsalted pretzels, low sodium soups, or sodium-free salad dressings. Smoke from cigarettes can irritate your eyes and cause swelling. If you smoke, now is the best time to quit. In addition to preventing eye bags, you’ll also improve your general health and reduce your risk of developing wrinkles. Talk to your doctor if you want to quit smoking. They may be able to give you a prescription to reduce cravings or help you create a plan to quit. An occasional drink or night out won’t hurt your skin in the long run, but too much drinking can cause dehydration. Dehydration can increase swelling and puffiness around the eyes. Aim to drink no more than 1 drink a day on average.  If you have a few drinks, drink plenty of water the next day to counteract the effects. Mixed drinks might also contain salt, which can make your eyes look puffy. Exercising can reduce swelling in your body and improve circulation, which will make your eyes look less puffy. If you’re not able to exercise regularly, try doing some yoga instead.

TL;DR in English: Drink a glass of water before you go to bed. Sleep for 7-8 hours a night with your head raised. Eat a low-sodium diet. Stop smoking. Reduce how much alcohol you drink. Exercise regularly.

This chemical is a mild bleaching agent and it is usually part of home first aid kits. Swish it around in your mouth for at least 30 second.  Ensure you don’t swallow hydrogen peroxide. This method should not be used with children. This method works fine with stains and also reduces the amount of bacteria, but you should not use this treatment for more than four weeks in a row. If you have any concerns about tooth or gum sensitivity, be sure to buy toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Use the whitening toothpaste for six weeks. Prolonged use of whitening toothpaste can erode tooth enamel, causing the yellow dentin to be exposed and colored food will stain your teeth faster than before. Apply them to your teeth for at least a week. The results can last up to a year. These kits can cost $30 to $200, but they are so powerful, they can even lighten your natural tooth color in addition to removing stains. Avoid using too many tooth-whitening kits, as they can also damage tooth enamel with long-term use. Also, consult with a dentist before you start the treatment. These treatments usually involve several appointments and can cost as much as $1,000. They will remove stains and they can make your teeth several shades whiter than your natural color.

TL;DR in English: Rinse your mouth several times per week with hydrogen peroxide. Purchase whitening toothpaste. Try home whitening strips to bleach your teeth. Invest in a tooth-whitening kit with carbamide peroxide. Purchase and schedule dental whitening.

Find a high object in front of you, just above your normal eye level. That is your goal to jump to. Think to yourself that you're going to jump in line with this object. Before you get into the jump (starting with the next step) and when you're ready, count off 5-6-7-8. The prep starts on 1. Your arms should be bent at the elbows, held to your chest. Hold this same position on 2. Your arms should look almost as if they're in prayer position, but your head should remain level and your hands should be clasped together halfway between a clap and a fist.

TL;DR in English: Start with both feet together. On 1, put your arms in front of you in a clasp.

If you do not have aggressive stains, or the stains are relatively new, you may be able to remove soap buildup that has become stained with a rough sponge, water, and vigorous scrubbing. Do not scrub so hard that you damage the finishing of your shower or tub, as this will create a texture that is harder to clean. Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a spray bottle, and fill the rest of the spray bottle with water. Spray the solution onto your stains, and let it stay for 10 minutes before wiping it down. Repeat as necessary. Dry the stain, then spread the mixture over it and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before scrubbing lightly with a cloth. Dry the area well. Borax, a mineral and salt that comes from boric acid, is available in powder form at hardware and grocery stores, as well as online. Create a paste with 1 tablespoon of borax and two cups of hot water. Apply to the stain and let it sit overnight before rubbing it off with a cloth.

Cut a piece of paper into an 8 inch (20.3 cm) by  12 inch (30.5 cm) rectangle. Orient your paper landscape style. Attach a cracker snap to the top of the paper. Lay a strip of double-sided tape along the top edge of your paper. Use a strip of double sided tape to attach an empty toilet paper tube to the bottom center of your paper. Make the cracker body. Tie one of the end of the Christmas cracker shut.

Copper tubing used for plumbing piping is available sized nominally, meaning that the outside diameter of the tubing is 1/8" (0.125 inches) larger than its stated size. In other words, 1" nominal copper tubing measures 1.125" inches in diameter. If you need to cut the pipe for your project, make sure that you use a tube cutter, clamping the pipe firmly and rotating the cutter around the pipe. It should take about 8 turns. Most nominally-sized copper tubing is available in four weights, or wall thicknesses, which is color-coded. Typically, though, residential projects will involve copper tubing of either Type L or M. Type L tubing is marked with a blue tag and is typically the most commonly used in commercial/residential installations. Type M is marked red and has the lightest wall that can be used for a pressurized system. Depending on your project, you'll probably need some combination of the following:  Male/Female adapters, which are used to join a solder pipe to a threaded pipe. Reducing adapters, which are used to go from a larger size pipe to a smaller size. Elbow joints, which are used to turn corners, typically 90 degree bends, but also available in 45 degree bends. Tees and crosses, which are used to join a branch tubing to the main tubing, using a tee, or two branches in the case of a "cross." For potable water systems, lead-free solid core solder must be used.  It is typically 95/5 (95% tin and 5% antimony), or an alloy of tin and a small amount of copper and/or silver, commonly sold in one pound rolls of 1/8" diameter wire. Solder with lead must not be used for potable water systems. This is typically a jelly with a zinc chloride or rosin cleaning component used to cover the cleaned surfaces of the copper to be soldered before assembly and heating. It is the function of the flux, upon heating, to facilitate further cleaning, exclude atmospheric oxygen, prevent re-oxidation, and to aide in wetting out the solder. Typically, a traditional electric soldering iron won't be hot enough to work with...

TL;DR in English: Get copper tubing of appropriate diameter. Make sure the tubing is of the proper wall thickness for your project. Get the proper connectors and joints for the system you are building. Select solder. Obtain the appropriate solder flux. Get a heat source.

Use a garden trowel to dig a small hole just deep enough to cover the roots. The crown should remain level with the surface of the soil to get enough air and avoid too much moisture.  Your daisies should have 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) of space between them to allow for proper growth, so keep this mind when you are replanting them.  Place a new daisy section into the hole and recover it with soil. Use your hands to press the soil down firmly around the base of the plant to hold it in place. The pot should be at least 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter. Choose a pot that is well-draining to help avoid excessive moisture and root rot. If possible, use a high-quality potting mix to ensure your plant has the proper level of nutrients and encourage growth. Dig a small hole in the pot that is just large enough to cover the roots. Place the new daisy section into the hole and recover it with soil. Press down firmly on the soil to hold the plant in place. After the first few weeks, the potted daisies can be moved into the full sun as long as the temperature doesn’t get much higher than 75 °F (24 °C). For hotter temperatures, it’s best to keep the daisies in areas of partial shade and/or indirect sunlight. The soil should remain moist, but not soggy. The best way to know how often to water your daisies is to check your soil and plants regularly. If the soil looks or feels dry, or if the flowers or leaves are beginning to wilt, it’s time to water. If the soil is still moist, check again the following day.  Cut back on watering after the plants begin to grow. At this point, allow the soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot from excessive moisture. A deep watering once per week should be enough.

TL;DR in English: Dig a small hole in the ground to replant the daisies in your garden. Plant the daisies in potted soil if you want to keep it indoors or on a patio. Store potted daisies in a partially shaded area for 2-3 weeks. Water your plants every 3-5 days until the daisies are reestablished.

Being bubbly means developing a positive outlook to find the best in other people while lifting their spirits with your attitude.  Rephrase negative thoughts as positive ones. For example, instead of thinking "I'm so worried about finishing this essay," think "I'm so excited to write a great essay." Find the positive things in life. For example, instead of feeling gloomy about a rainy day, situations, appreciate the soothing sound of the rain instead.  Congratulate yourself on your accomplishments and strengths. Be kind to yourself, develop a sense of pride, and don't compare yourself to others. No one wants to act bubbly and outgoing when they're stressed out. If you're ever feeling nervous or anxious, take a minute to focus on your surroundings, take a series of deep breaths, give yourself some positive affirmations, and go back into the social situation when you feel ready. Other ways to alleviate stress include meditating and grounding. A healthy get-up-and-go attitude is a must if you want to have the energy to be bubbly and talkative.  Exercise 20 minutes or more a day. Try activities that keep your energy up without taxing your heart such as yoga, pilates, and light jogging.  Get at least seven hours of sleep, preferably eight to nine if you can. Make a routine out of your bedtime so getting adequate sleep becomes a habit. Eat a balanced diet high in protein, energy-supporting minerals such as manganese, and omega-3 fatty acids. Add some almonds, salmon, beans, and spinach to your diet.

TL;DR in English: Keep a positive worldview. Know how to alleviate stress. Stay energetic!

You can use gift wrap, construction paper, butcher paper, scrapbooking paper, or even tissue paper.   Hide the contents if you use tissue paper. Stack 2 to 3 sheets so the contents will stay invisible. The paper does not have to be Christmas themed. It can be winter themed instead. Blue, white, and silver stripes are perfect for a Winter Wonderland party. You can use a summer theme if December is a summer month where you live. Match the paper to your table settings. Your table will be more festive if the crackers match the napkins, plates, candles, decorations, etc. Start with one of the long edges facing you. If your paper has one side patterned and blank on the other (such as scrapbooking paper or gift wrap), make sure that the blank side faces up. This will make your Christmas cracker pop like store bought ones. Place a long strip of double-sided tape at 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top edge of the paper, . Press the cracker snap onto the tape. Make sure that it is centered. Both ends of the cracker snap need to be taped down. Many craft and dollar stores sell cracker snaps during the holiday season. You can also find them available online. Make sure that the tape goes from edge-to-edge to seal your Christmas cracker shut. If you added a cracker snap, the tape will be just above it. You should have about 4 inch (10.2 cm) on either side of the toilet paper tube. If you can't find any toilet paper tubes, cut an empty paper towel tube in half. You can also get an empty gift wrap tube, and cut 4 inch (10.2 cm)) segments. Roll the toilet paper tube as evenly and as tightly as you can towards the top of the paper to keep the paper smooth. When you get to the top edge, run your finger along the tape to seal it. Get as close to the toilet paper tube as possible. (See the Tips section)  Do not tie the other end shut yet. You can use anything to tie the cracker shut. Choose something that matches your paper or your theme for pizzaz. For example:  For something fancy or elegant, use a piece of satin, sheer, or curling...

Use a wooden spoon to stir until everything is thoroughly mixed. Put the saucepan on the stove and set it to medium heat. Once the mixture is nice and smooth, it's all set. While a fruit topping is the traditional topping, it is certainly not the only one you can make. Other common variations are poppy

Make a cherry topping for your kolaches. Prepare a blueberry topping. Create a sweet apricot topping. Explore the dozens of other topping options.

You need to override your dog's distaste for his medicine by offering your dog something your dog finds irresistible. Make sure to choose foods that are healthy for your dog, like plain meat, cheese, peanut butter, or yogurt. Avoid junk foods like candy or chips.  This works best if your dog swallows food quickly, without chewing. This works best with food in which the pill can be well enveloped such as wet dog food, so that the pill does not fall out. Using Pill Pockets or Flavor Doh available at your veterinarian sometimes works better than food.  Before you administer the medication, ensure it can be taken with food to avoid detrimental side effects. There are different ways of doing this, depending on the kind of food you use. Generally, the goal is to fold the pill inside, or push it into the food, such that it is securely hidden. Try different ways of hiding the pill in the food to see what works best for your dog.  Ground beef, turkey or chicken can be molded around the medication. Pills can be pushed inside a portion of hot dog. Softer cheeses can be easily re-shaped to encapsulate the medicine. If you're using peanut butter, grasp the pill with tweezers and dip it into the peanut butter. Get just enough on to make the pill enticing, without overdoing it. This can take a few tries. Sometimes dogs are able to separate the medicine from the food in their mouths, and they will then spit it out. In this case, try again. If you are repeatedly unsuccessful, it may be necessary to try another method.  You may want to try to wait until the dog is hungry, and then give two or three undoctored treats so that the dog gets a taste for them and looks for more. Then slip in the doctored treat, closely followed by another normal treat to get the taste out of his mouth. If you have more than one dog, try this when they are both present. Give food without medicine to the other dog first. Then attempt to give the medicine. The competition from the second dog can increase the chances of successfully getting your dog to...

TL;DR in English: Get food your dog really likes. Hide the pill inside the food. Give the food to your dog.

From simply listening for the leak to spraying the mattress with soapy water and looking for bubbles to more extreme tests like submerging the mattress in a tub or swimming pool, the many tests for find a leak in your air mattress are detailed in 5 Ways to Locate a Leak in an Air Mattress. However, the most reliable methods seem to be the easiest: using your ears and spraying the mattress with soapy water. Whichever method you choose, always inspect the mattress systematically.  First inspect the valves. Then, check the seams. Finally, inspect the flat surfaces of mattress. Use a permanent marker or a piece of masking tape.  For “flocked” (fuzzy) mattresses, use fine grit sandpaper or an emery board to smooth the area before attempting to patch it. Be gentle! And make sure to remove any debris with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner before proceeding.  Alternatively, use acetone—an ingredient found in many nail polish removers—to smooth the flocked area before patching it. Wet a cotton ball with a small amount of acetone and dab the area around the hole. Then, use something rigid like a spoon to scrape away the flocking. Finally, use rubbing alcohol to clean the area thoroughly. Use hair dryer to speed up the process. Or let the mattress air-dry overnight.

TL;DR in English: Find the leak. Mark the leak. Dry the mattress completely. Deflate the mattress.

To be considered full sun, an area needs to get at least six hours of sunlight per day. If you live in an area where summer temperatures frequently rise above 90 °F (32 °C), choose an area that gets sun in the morning but not in the afternoon. You can also choose an area that gets filtered light, like under a large tree. How much space you need for your herb garden will depend on which herbs you're growing. You'll need a 1 ft (0.30 m) to 4 ft (1.2 m) diameter per plant, depending on the type.  Rosemary, sage, mint, oregano, and marjoram all need a 3 ft (0.91 m) to 4 ft (1.2 m) diameter per plant. Basil, thyme, tarragon, and savory all need a 2 ft (0.61 m) diameter per plant. Cilantro, chives, dill, and parsley only need a 1 ft (0.30 m) diameter per plant. Herb roots won't grow too far, but creating a barrier around your herb garden prevents other plant life – like grass – from invading. Once you've determined how much space you need for your garden, install garden barriers around the perimeter. You can use actual garden barrier or planks of wood. They should extend about 2 in (5.1 cm) above the ground. Use a large garden fork to dig about 12 in (30 cm) into the soil where you're planting your herbs. As you dig down, turn the fork slightly to loosen the soil. Loose soil allows the herbs' roots to grow and for water to get to the roots. and add compost if needed. Once you've loosened the soil, check the pH level using a soil test kit, available at most hardware stores. The best pH level for an herb garden is between 6 and 7. If you need to raise or lower the pH of your soil, use compost that will allow you to do that. Add about 3 in (7.6 cm) of compost to the top of the soil. Then gently mix the compost into the soil. If you need to raise the soil pH, look for compost with oyster shell lime in it. To lower the pH, look for compost with elemental sulfur. Depending on where you live, the exact timing for planting your herb garden will vary. You should generally plant your herbs after the last spring frost.

TL;DR in English: Choose an area in full sun. Make sure you have enough space. Create garden barriers. Break up the soil to promote root growth. Check your soil's pH Plant your garden shortly after the last spring frost.

Mix the sugar, cornstarch, and cherry juice in a saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to stir until everything is thoroughly mixed. Put the saucepan on the stove and set it to medium heat. Once the mixture starts boiling and thickening up, turn off the heat and add the pitted cherries. Mix the sugar, cornstarch, salt, blueberries, and lemon juice together in a saucepan. Turn the stovetop to medium heat to warm the mixture while continuously stirring. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat on your stovetop down and let the mixture simmer for about ten minutes. The final product should be fairly thick. This one will take a bit longer than the cherry and blueberry toppings. You’ll need to simmer the dried apricots and the orange juice in a saucepan for about half an hour, or until soft. Then, drain the orange juice and put the tender apricots into a food processor to puree with sugar and lemon juice. Once the mixture is nice and smooth, it’s all set. While a fruit topping is the traditional topping, it is certainly not the only one you can make. Other common variations are poppyseed and cream cheese kolaches. You can even make savory kolaches with different types of breakfast meats. Don’t be afraid to get creative!

A UTI can make it difficult for you to empty your bladder all the way, leading to frustration, frequent bathroom trips, and nighttime leaks. Right before you go to bed, sit on the toilet and empty your bladder as much as possible. Remain on the toilet for 30 seconds to a few minutes when you're done, then try again. As you're sitting on the toilet, lean forward slightly and rest your hands on your thighs or knees. Sitting in this position can help you empty your bladder more completely. Set an alarm to wake you up every 2-4 hours so you can urinate. This will help keep your bladder from becoming overly full, making it less likely that you will wake up with a wet bed or a frantic urge to go. Try setting the alarm to go off at different times each night. This way, you won't inadvertently train your bladder to wake you up at specific times to pee. If your UTI causes your bladder to leak at night, having to strip and change your bedclothes can be very disruptive to your sleep. Try wearing an incontinence pad to keep accidents contained and easier to deal with quickly.  Absorbent briefs are another good option. These special undergarments are fitted to prevent leaks. It's best to wear clean cotton underwear, which are breathable. Your doctor may also be able to prescribe a medication to keep nighttime incontinence under control while your UTI heals. Talk to your doctor about what medication(s) might work best for you.  Common options include anticholinergics, bladder-relaxing medications such as mirabegron, and alpha blockers. Ask your doctor about fesoterodine, a medication that has been shown to improve both nighttime incontinence problems and overall sleep quality.

TL;DR in English: Try double voiding to completely empty your bladder before bed. Take scheduled nighttime bathroom breaks. Wear a pad at night to avoid soaking your bedclothes. Ask your doctor about medications to control incontinence.

If your bestie is obsessed with beaded purses and you yawn at the sight of them, share your feelings.  You don’t always have to love the same things. Being genuine about your likes and dislikes, though, could prevent resentments from building over time. Just make sure that you share your preferences in a polite way. For example, you might say something like, “Beaded purses are so you and you make them look great! I prefer non-beaded purses.” It's important to stay in touch with your girlfriends often, but in an appropriate way. Periodically texting, tweeting and talking on the phone are great for everyday communication in addition to face to face conversations.  Judge your means of communication on the type of communication, however. Twitter is fun, but not the best tool for carrying on a serious conversation. Some ways to keep the lines of contact open include:  Sending a “Good morning” text to brighten a friend's day Checking in after stressful experiences such as tests or doctors' appointments Returning messages promptly, even if it's just to say "I can't talk right now; call you later!" Reaching out to make meeting plans If the only time you hang out is during class or on lunch break, you need to schedule some ‘we’ time, stat!  Relationships are built on shared experiences. If you’re never even in the same zip code, however, disagreements will grow while your friendship withers. A few fun hangout ideas include:  Arranging to get a pedicure together Going to see a movie Working out at the gym or going for a jog Is your friend's new haircut horrible? If she loves it then you'd be better off withholding your two cents.  Supporting your pals even when they've made questionable choices is part of being a true friend. Offering your opinion, especially when your friend hasn't asked for it, creates a situation where the other person can feel unduly criticized and judged.

TL;DR in English: Be honest. Maintain good communication. Spend time together often. Don't be judgmental.

Recent studies have shown that food can affect your mood. When you’re in a bad mood or irritable or tired, it can be difficult to be affable or kind. Several studies have shown that eating with other people can help improve relationships. Whether it be family, friends, or co-workers, eating with others can improve performance and social well-being. Exercise increases endorphins, which, to put it simply, make you feel better. Exercising with people has been shown to help you feel happier about the relationship, as well as to help you exercise better and more efficiently. Sleep is one of the most necessary ingredients for any positive lifestyle change. Without sleep, you are more likely to make worse decisions and feel cranky. You definitely won’t be feeling very loving if sleep deprivation is making you irritable. One study even suggests that sleep deprivation can make it hard to distinguish facial expressions, one of the key ways we understand our interactions with others.

TL;DR in English: Watch what you eat. Eat with people. Exercise, especially with other people. Get enough sleep.

Any time you receive a promotional email from a site (e.g., Facebook or Amazon), there's a good chance that it's tracking your response. While you may be comfortable with this on social media or other secure sites, entering your email address on an unsecure or dodgy site will almost certainly result in email tracking. Your Spam folder will likely take care of obvious junk mail, but that doesn't mean you should open emails from services, websites, or even people whom you don't know. Similarly, don't open unnecessary emails even if you do trust the recipient (e.g., Best Buy or Tumblr). In rare cases, email trackers will use links to indicate whether or not their recipient has opened the email. In cases such as these, merely right-clicking the link or hovering over it with your cursor may be enough to trigger the "read" notification.
