Place the pan over medium heat and heat the oil until it begins to shimmer. Sauté the onions and peppers, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and the peppers soft. This should take about five minutes. Stir them in with the onions and garlic and cook for about three minutes, until the mushrooms are soft and have yielded their liquid. If you add the garlic too soon, it will burn; it only needs to cook for a minute once the vegetables have been cooked. Once the vegetables are cooked, the rest of the ingredients will be combined in a food processor. Be careful, since the contents of the pan will still be piping hot. Pour in the beans, ketchup, mayonnaise, soy sauce, bread crumbs, rice and spices. Just a few pulses should suffice. You want the texture to resemble ground beef. Take care not to over process the mix, since this will result in a runny batter. Use a spoon to scoop out the mixture and form it into palm-sized patties with your hands. Make the patties large enough to fit on standard hamburger buns. Allow the oil to get nice and hot; it's ready when it begins to shimmer. Place the patties in the pan and fry them on each side for two to three minutes, or until the exterior becomes brown and crispy. They're delicious on hamburger buns with all the classic fixings: ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce and tomato.

TL;DR in English: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and green peppers to the pan. Add the mushrooms to the pan. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer. Turn off the heat. Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients. Pulse the mixture until it becomes coarse and crumbly. Form the mixture into patties. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Fry the patties. Serve the veggie burgers.

After you harvest your fruits, it's important to prune in preparation for the next season of fruit bearing. Summer pruning is also ideal because the wounded parts of the tree heal faster.  Use lopping shears for large branches up to 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter. Avoid pruning the sides of the tree when possible. This is called skirting and will make it easier for you to conduct weed removal, watering, and fertilizer application. The goal is to maintain a modest tree height and clean up its lower region. Keeping a modest tree height improves flowering and, in turn, fruit production. During your regular inspections, always favor horizontal shoots that show potential for growth. This promotes a strong, compact structure.  Leaving a few vertical branches is fine if you have enough horizontal branches to provide support (around 3 to 4 primary limbs). Your mango trees should have a solid, fully formed structure after 3 years. Focus on trimming horizontal shoots, and do so immediately after harvest. This is especially important during the second or third year following planting, as trimming helps your tree put more energy into fruit production. Continue this procedure through the second year and then stop.

TL;DR in English: Prune immediately following harvesting using loppers. Cut lower branches to 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) from ground level. Remove any strong vertical shoots as opposed to horizontal shoots. Trim branches down to 50.8 centimetres (20.0 in) in length.

Official rules states that the center of the bullseye needs to be exactly 5 feet 8 inches high from the floor. Quality boards are hung from the center while others may be hung from the top. If you have a board that is hung from the top, measure the distance from the hanger to the center of the bullseye and add that to 5 feet 8 inches in order to get the correct height at which you should hang your dartboard. If your dart board is already encased in a protective cabinet or mount, measure from the center of the bullseye to your highest mounting point and add to 5 feet 8 inches. Center your board within the cabinet or mount. Face the counter sink towards you and place the backing board disc at the back center of the board. Screw the center hole in place followed by any other guide holes. Most dart boards will have 3 other holes to securely fasten the board into place. Remember to place the wall bracket so that that the center of the bullseye will be at 5 feet 8 inches from the ground. The wall bracket should have the opening to the top of the U shaped recess facing you. Screw once the center mark lines up with the center hole of the wall bracket. This will be removed later as it will only be used to ensure that the other brackets are level. Use a level for the bracket and 4 C screws then remove the centre screw once all brackets are level.    Line up your dart board by keeping the 20 scoring area vertical as you place the dartboard into the wall bracket. Make sure the disc is attached.  Once the brackets are mounted, align the board and drop it into the wall brackets. Mount the board flush to the wall not slanted like a picture. Make the throw line (also called the oche, toe-line, or hockey) 3 feet wide and 7 feet 9.25 inches from the face of a standard steel tipped set up or 8 feet from a soft tipped board. You may use tape, a piece of wood or metal, or even a store bought throw-line sticker. Ensure the throwline is centered and perpendicular to the face of the board. Measure from each corner of the line to the...

TL;DR in English: Measure the bullseye and mark the wall. Mount the backing board disc. Mount the wall bracket. Stabilize the board by placing the screw slightly higher than the bracket. Create the throwline.

For most guys, a quick once-over with a comb after getting out of the shower in the morning is all they’ll need to keep short hair under control. Pay particular attention to cowlicks and flyaways, and use a little mousse, gel or pomade to smooth problem areas. A few quick swipes and you’ll be ready to head out the door.  A quick and painless combing can do the trick for guys with fairly straight, easy to style hair, but it may not be enough to get other hair types, textures and lengths looking good. Hair that is slightly longer has a tendency to lay in a certain orientation, and when your hair starts going in different directions, you have a disaster on your hands. Prevent that tousled bedhead by neatly parting your hair down one side. Just wet a comb, or use a nickel-sized dab of pomade, to keep hair slick, smooth and looking sharp.  Part your hair in the direction it tends to lay naturally. The parted, slicked hairstyle on men was popular with classic movie stars, and has made a comeback in recent years. Perhaps you prefer to look a little rough around the edges. If this is the case, make sure you’re doing it right. Work a little gel or pomade into your locks and brush, shake and pull like a madman until they look perfectly disordered. Using a product will help hold your hair in place so it doesn’t go from intentionally messy to unintentionally chaotic. A little messiness goes equally well with casual or dressier outfits, and will tell people that you’re the confident, carefree type. Guys with wild hair should avoid brushing or messing with their locks too much after showering. Too much dry-styling can cause longer hair to become frizzy and stick out. Instead, let your hair air dry so that it keeps its natural shape and make sure you use a strong conditioner to give it some extra weight and moisture. Brush your hair lightly with your fingers when you need to make adjustments.  Blow drying and brushing removes moisture from hair and breaks up natural curls. Leave-in conditioners and other moisturizing...

TL;DR in English: Comb your hair to tame it. Part your hair to one side. Wear your hair messy for an edgy look. Allow curly or shaggy hair to air dry. Shave it off.

If the person really loves you, then the idea of you being in their future is an absolute given, not something that they would ever have anxiety or uncertainty about. If the person routinely talks about what you're going to do in the future, about what your lives will look like one, two, or even ten years in the future together, then they are probably in love with you.  True commitment means seeing a forever with another person. If the person talks about the future and always includes you in it, then there is a good chance they truly love you. If the person talks about what your kids will look like, where you will retire together, or where you will go for your honeymoon, then they may really love you. There's a difference between saying, "I like your new haircut" and "You have the ability to make me feel better no matter what." If the person gives you compliments that show that they really appreciate the important aspects of your character and personality, then there's a good chance they really love you. Your loved one doesn't have to shower you with compliments all the time — it's the quality, not the quantity, that makes a difference. Remember that there is a big difference between "Love ya!" and "I love you." If your special someone really loves you and tells you this much while looking into your eyes, sounding earnest, and not wanting anything from you, then it's likely that they really mean it. If the person undeniably loves you, then they will say it for no reason at all, not just because they need a favor or because it feels like the right thing to say. If your loved one really loves you, then they will really open up to you and tell you what they are thinking, feeling, fearing, and longing for. If the person really opens up about their childhood, greatest regrets, most painful moments, or most romantic dreams for the future, then it's likely that they like you because the person is so comfortable telling you about almost everything. If the person tells you, "I've never told anyone this before...",...

TL;DR in English: Notice if the person talks positively about your future together. See if the person gives you meaningful compliments. Determine if the person means every "I love you". See if the person really opens up to you. Expect to be missed when apart. Hope to have your mistakes corrected. See if the person truly values your opinion.

Start with the basics by clearing everything out of the car and removing all trash. There may be an old piece of food or other garbage stinking up your car. Check under the seats and remove all rotting food, trash, and junk items. Check back pockets and remove all trash items. Be careful if you have children as there may be sticky candies, or unidentified blobs of food stuck within the pocket. Don't forget to clean the back or trunk of the car as well. Use a soft cleaning cloth and an all-purpose cleaning spray to wipe down every plastic, wood, glass, and metallic surface inside the car. Look for any spills or stains that could be causing the odor. For example, a child may have spilled pudding on the seat.  For leather seats, use an appropriate leather cleaner. Alternatively, you can ask for a suitable interior car cleaner at your automotive store. If your upholstery is not leather, remove stains by vacuuming or shampooing the surfaces. In most cars, the floor mats (where the driver's and passengers' feet rest) can be removed. Pull these out, and use a few rags and hot, soapy water to clean them. Stains may have accumulated over time, which may be producing the foul smell in your car. Use clean water when you're cleaning off the floor mats. Wipe off all excess water from the mats so no water pools up in the car once you put the mats back in. to clear out any grime worked into the carpet. Vacuum the carpet and the seats to remove excess dirt. Besides dirt, food crumbs or leftover bits of trash may have been worked into the carpet. Vacuuming these out should improve the smell of your car. Run the vacuum nozzle over all seat and floor surfaces. If you're sure that the car's carpet is the problem, you could sprinkle carpet deodorizer over the carpet. Leave it to sit for the time recommended on the package instructions (usually about 5-10 minutes) before vacuuming it up. If vacuuming failed to remove the smell, you'll need to take a more aggressive approach towards cleaning the carpet. Purchase a car shampoo from...

Avoid skin tight clothing and clothing that will constrain your body as you move around on a hot day. In general rule, looser is cooler in hot weather. This will help to create a layer of air between your skin and your clothing. Look for dresses that are A-line cut, with a loose fit on your arms, chest and waist. Choose tops that are cropped so they do not hug your stomach or torso. Go for skirts and shorts that have a loose fit around your waist and legs. Go for bottoms that will not cover up your legs with material, especially if you want to feel cool on a hot day. Look for shorts or skirts in breathable fabrics and cuts that do not constrain your legs. You should avoid wearing pants, unless you have to wear them due to a professional dress code or a formal dress code. If you do have to wear pants, opt for pants made out of cotton or linen in a loose cut. You may also wear pants that you can roll at the hem so they do not squeeze or constrain your legs. You should also look for tops that have short sleeves or that are sleeveless. If you tend to have sweat lines, you may opt for sleeveless tops so your sweat lines do not show. Make sure the tops are made of breathable material like linen or cotton so you can stay cool and show off your killer arms. Men may not have the option of going sleeveless in the office. Instead, you can opt to wear long sleeve button up shirts in a breathable material like chambray, a lightweight alternative to denim. If you are trying to dress modestly but still stay cool in the heat, you may be tempted to layer your clothing and shed each layer when you get hot. However, layering will only create more clothing for you to deal with as you go about your day and likely will not keep you cool. Instead, you should choose clothing items that do not require you to layer. This way, you do not have to worry about shedding clothing throughout the day.  A good hot weather item is a maxi dress, which allows you to cover up your legs without having to worry about shedding a layer. Maxi dresses...

TL;DR in English: Go for looser cuts and styles. Opt for shorts or skirts over pants. Wear short sleeve or sleeveless tops. Do not layer your clothing.

Learn to be confident, to stand in front of your students and speak well. Practice reading aloud to get comfortable speaking loudly and clearly and to make sure you won't stumble when you do it in front of your class. Practice good public speaking skills so that you can perform well in the classroom. Pay attention to your students and give their ideas your full consideration. Work on building a rapport early on in the school year. Treat them as intelligent and worthy people, and respect them academically and otherwise. Try getting to know one thing each student is passionate about outside the classroom. Then, encourage them to pursue their interests and curiosities, and challenge them in and out of the classroom. When you give them attention and respect, you'll find that they perform well so as to be worthy of it. Encourage your students to drop by at lunch or after school. This can make a huge difference for students who may be struggling or who want to pursue a discussion further. Being available for them encourages them to foster a genuine interest in the material, and it's a display of your respect and desire to help them learn. Don't shout at the pupils every chance you get, but on the other hand don't let them walk over you. Show discipline, but don't go over the top, or this will make them behave worse towards you. If a pupil has done well, tell them so and reward them. Likewise if a pupil is struggling, tell him or her to stay behind so that you can help them to find out what's going wrong, or ask another pupil who understands the concept to help the struggling one. Don't speak and write too quickly. This will give them time to listen, understand, and copy things down so that they don't miss essential information. Help them absorb your lessons, and encourage them to make connections between topics and outside of class so that they can more fully understand your lessons.

TL;DR in English: Become comfortable speaking in front of your class. Encourage your students. Be available outside of class. Be strict but fair. Make sure your students understand what you teach.

Place a length of quarter round up against your wall. Use a small pencil mark to indicate where the quarter round meets the door jamb (or other obstruction). Place your quarter round into a miter box and secure it with the pins provided. Cut your wood at a 45-degree angle, angled away from the door jamb. The pencil marking you made should form the corner of your 45-degree angle.  You can purchase a miter box and saw set from most home improvement stores, or online. Wear gloves and protective eye wear. Always be careful when using a saw. Take another piece of small piece quarter round and place it into your miter box. Use your saw to make a 45-degree cut, angled in the opposite direction (if your previous cut in the quarter round was angled to the left, this one will angle to the right). Change the angle of your saw and make a straight cut about 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) away from your angle cut. You should end up with an end cap that is flat on one side and a 45-degree angle on the other side. Line up the longer piece of quarter round up against the wall where it will go. Spin your end cap so that the flat cut is up against the wall, the angle cut is against the other piece of quarter round, and the finished side is visible.

If your pipes are PVC or plastic, 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celcius) is the hottest temperature water you can pour down the drain to prevent damage. Do a final flush of the drain with 3 cups (710 ml) of boiling hot water. This should remove any remaining grime or debris in the drain. You can flush the drain with hot water on a weekly basis to keep it clean.

Linear functions are typically written in the form f(x) = ax + b. The a represents the gradient of the line, which gives the rate of change of the dependent variable. This is also known as the “slope.” The b represents the y-axis intercept. It is the value of the dependent variable y or, in other words, f(x) when x = 0. Say, for example, that you have a function f(x) = x + 5. This is a linear function in standard form.    You know your graph will be a straight line because you have a linear function; therefore, you really need only two points. In general, though, you should find three points instead, to check for accuracy. In the example above, you might choose to use -1, 0, and 1 for your x values. Solve as shown.    Plot your points on the coordinate system, using the values you got from solving your three equations. In the example above, your graph would look like this.    For any two points, there is only one way to connect them with a straight line. Use a ruler to join them with a straight line. Note that if you graph three points, and they don’t all lie on the same line, then you’ve made a mistake somewhere. Go back and calculate again. In the example above, your graph would look like this.

TL;DR in English: Recognize the standard form of a linear function. Find at least two points. Plot the points. Connect the points.

Check your peach tree each day and water it lightly if it appears wilted. General rainfall is all a peach tree needs, but if you live in a particularly dry area, it may need a light watering.  Apart from this, to take care of weeds and nutrition, an organic mulch will likely do the trick. Just make a circle of mulch over the root zone that’s a couple of inches (5cm) deep and 3 feet (0.91 m) (1m) or so in diameter.   With the right amount of rainfall, you can literally just sit back and watch your tree grow. You may also want to consider deterring insect borers by wrapping the trunk with scraps of garden row cover.  To keep rodents at bay, you can surround the tree with a cylinder of mesh hardware cloth. Use a lime-sulfur spray to raise your tree’s chances against peach leaf curl, the most common disease culprit. After six weeks or so, 1 pound of nitrogen fertilizer spread evenly over the area will help your tree flourish. After the initial year, you can decrease the amount to ¾ of a pound.  After the third year when the tree is mature, add 1 pound of actual nitrogen to the soil. This is best done in the spring. To make your tree hardier, don’t fertilize it within 2 months of the first frost or when the fruits are maturing.

TL;DR in English: Care for your peach tree. Apply a mild pesticide to your peach tree after about a week to prevent insects and disease from damaging it. Add a nitrogen fertilizer about twice a year to your peach tree.

your muscles before you jump to prevent injuries. After a quick 2-5 minute cardio warmup, stretch your arms, legs, chest, and back. You can do any stretches, as long as they target the right muscle groups. Here are some stretches for you try:  Do a forward bend to stretch all of your muscles. Stand up straight with your feet together, then bend slowly down toward the floor. Reach out to touch the floor with your fingers. To stretch your arms, bring one arm up over your head, reaching toward the sky. Bend your arm at your elbow so it’s parallel to the back of you head. Then, use your other hand to pull your elbow gently toward your head. Repeat on the other side. A backflip is an advanced move, so it usually takes time to master it. You need to be on a soft surface to minimize your risk of injury. A gymnastics mat or foam pit is the best surface, but sand or grass may also work.  As another option, you may prefer starting on a trampoline, which provides some give and helps you build momentum. However, don’t try your flip on a trampoline if you have trouble controlling the height of your jumps. If you’re new to backflips, don’t attempt to do one on a hard surface, especially concrete. Since a backflip is an advanced move, it can be dangerous to complete, especially at first. It’s important that you have someone there who can watch your jump and potentially help you. At the very least, make sure someone is with you to call for help if you get hurt. If you lose your balance and fall, it’s possible that you will not be able to get yourself help.

TL;DR in English:


Appeal to the intellect. Use your opinions to stand out. Embrace spontaneity. Plan dates based around cultural activities. Dress up a little for dates.

Photos from your last camping trip can showcase your adventures, or photos from your child’s first year can be a decoration for a first birthday party. Collages can decorate a small area of a wall, or they can be the centerpiece for an entire room. Take into account how many pictures you have to work with; making a large collage will require lots of pictures. These can come from just about any printed material, from magazines, newspapers, old books, or postcards. Even fabric can be used in collages. If you are doing a photo collage, you should select the best photos that represent the event or convey the theme you’re going for. Depending on how large your collage is, you may need to choose just a few pictures, or you may need 10 or more.  Consider how large you want your pictures to be in your final collage. The pictures do not need to be the same size, nor do they need to be the same shape. In fact, a range of sizes and shapes will give more dimension to your collage and make it more interesting to the eye. Think about if you want a certain picture to dominate the collage and have subordinate pictures surrounding it, for example. You don’t need to always choose pictures of people. Adding in pictures of details (a bridge or road, a plate of cookies, a deck of cards from a poker game) can add dimension to your collage. These add to the overall sense you’re trying to convey in your collage. Because you are creating a collage of many pictures, you can afford to include some background or detail pictures. Your collage will look better if you have high quality images with sharp resolution (at least 300 dpi; 600 dpi for larger photos). You can use all matching frames, or use frames that are all different shapes, sizes and colors. You can either have a professional framing service do this, or you can select your own frame. Choose a frame that is complementary in color to the collage. Have hooks on the back to enable easy wall hanging. Start deciding how you want to place your pictures. Do this on the floor or large...

Whether your religious rights have been endangered or not, if you believe in the freedom of religion you can protect those rights by becoming an activist. An activist is someone who believes in a social cause and campaigns for that cause. In order to effectively campaign for religious freedom, you will have to understand the laws you are trying to effect. At its most basic level, religious freedoms are protected by the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment. The First Amendment has two religious clauses, and countless federal and state laws protect those religious freedoms.  The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from encouraging or promoting religion. Under the Establishment Clause, your religious rights may be diminished if government promoted a religion that is not yours. The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment gives you the right to worship or not however you choose. Here, your rights may be infringed if you are unable to worship due to a government law or policy.  The laws passed by federal, state, and local governments must all adhere to these constitutional principals. If they do not, they will likely be found unconstitutional by a court. Another way to fight for religious freedom is to write letters to your state and federal representatives and make your beliefs known. These letters can be particularly persuasive considering you are the individual voting these people into office. If they do not listen to your concerns, they may not win reelection. You can write your legislators as well as your executives (i.e., the President and governor). When you write a letter to your representatives, state your purpose up front and be very clear about what you want your representative to do. For example, if there is a bill being debated in the senate that you believe diminishes your religious freedoms, you might write a letter to your senator letting them know you want them to oppose the bill. Prior to filing a lawsuit, you may choose (or be required) to file a complaint with...

TL;DR in English: Become an activist. Write to your representatives. File government complaints. Create a ballot initiative. Protect everybody's religious freedoms.

One of the most common issues with inexpensive umbrellas is the canopy fabric coming detached from the end of one of the ribs. When this happens, all you have to do is thread a sewing needle and weave it through the small hole in the rib, up through the canopy fabric, then back down again. After a few passes, snip the thread and tie off the ends 2-3 times to make sure it holds. In the best case scenario, there will be no actual damage to the fabric itself, and your umbrella will be as good as new (or better) by the time you're finished. Thread your sewing needle with a strand of nylon thread and double-knot the loose end. Fold the torn canopy fabric over on itself by about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm), then guide your needle back and forth through one side of the fabric and out the other until the knot comes to a stop against your first stitch. When you're done, tie the loose ends of the thread and snip off the excess.  Aim to leave 1⁄16–1⁄8 in (0.16–0.32 cm) of space between each of your stitches. A couple stitches will probably be all you need for a minor snag or puncture. Use a pair of fabric scissors to trim the patch 1⁄4–1⁄2 in (0.64–1.27 cm) larger than the hole on all sides. Place the patch over the hole on the inside of the canopy, then straight-stitch around the outer edges of the patch until it's held firmly in place.  Shop around for a patch with a color and texture that's similar to that of your umbrella. You'll most likely need to use a patch any time you're dealing with a rip or hole that's more than 1⁄4–1⁄2 in (0.64–1.27 cm) long or wide. First, soak up a small amount of rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball and gently dab the application site to clean it. Next, cut the replacement patch to fit your hole. Finally, peel off the adhesive backing and press the patch firmly into place over the damaged area.  Patching kits can be a lifesaver for those times when you don't have a needle and thread handy, or when you'd just rather not go to the effort of stitching your umbrella up yourself.

An aquarius is unlikely to be swayed by regular flirtation. They are intellectually oriented by nature, and tend to prefer a partner they can learn from. When first attempting to woo an aquarius, showcase your intelligence.  When you strike up a conversation, mention something cultural. Ask about a current event or a recent film you just saw. Try to notice something about an aquarius and make a comment. For example, maybe you saw them reading a particular book earlier in the day. If you've read that book as well, that may be a good means to strike up a conversation. An aquarius is unlikely to be seduced by flattery or charm. They long for partners who can match them intellectually, and do not want to be simply fawned over up by a partner. When wooing an aquarius, share your opinion. This will make you stand out from potential suitors.  During a discussion of, say, a current event, unabashedly share your thoughts. Even if an aquarius disagrees, they will be thrilled at the opportunity to have a rich intellectual discussion. Never agree with an aquarius to please them. They will see through this and are not interested in partners that are not intellectually challenging. An aquarius needs a lot of stimulation to be entertained. However, they also have a tendency to dislike plans. Independent thinkers by nature, plans can be seen as a form of control. When planning dates, keep things flexible.  Light plans work best. You can agree to meet somewhere around a given time and then see where things go. Do not be surprised if an aquarius suddenly has a whim they wish to follow. The mention of a movie involving horseback riding, for example, may cause an aquarius to propose an impromptu trip to a nearby ranch. Be willing to follow along in these endeavors. An aquarius needs someone willing to go along for the ride. Consider going to internet cafes, readings, intellectual events, book stores, new restaurants. An aquarius will love these types of places. An aquarius loves intellectual pursuits, so a date involving all...

Part of an obstacle course is having rules.  If participants don't understand how to proceed when tackling an obstacle they may do so in an unfair or unsafe way.  Think about some of the basic types of obstacles and how you might instruct participants when they encounter them.  Having instructions can help prevent injury and make a fair obstacle course. Include specific instructions on how an obstacle is to be completed. For example, participants must go through a tunnel and not over it. A common element of an obstacle course is to feature obstacles that test a persons agility.  These obstacles will require a person to move quickly and accurately to successfully move past it.  Create a well rounded course by including obstacles that test agility.   Running around a series of cones, like a skier slaloming, can be a good test of agility. Try tying small threads with bells attached to them just off the ground.  Participants have to step around them without ringing the bells.  Hanging hula-hoops from a branch can create an obstacle that needs to be hopped or stepped through. Many obstacle courses contain obstacles that require the participants to leap over or around.  Including jumping obstacles can be a great way to make your obstacle course a fun challenge.  Review some of the following ideas to get you started when thinking about your jumping obstacles:  Try setting some targets, such as a hula hoop, on the ground to have people jump towards. Consider a section of the course that has to be done on a pogo stick or bounce ball. Create a high jump obstacle by placing something soft in the path like a hay bale. Doing a series of frog jumps can be a good test of jumping abilities. Balancing obstacles will test the fine movements of participants as they attempt the obstacle.  These obstacles are generally slower paced, requiring graceful and thoughtful motions from those undertaking the obstacle course.  A simple straight board can make a good balance beam. You can require people to stand on one leg for a certain...

TL;DR in English: Think about instructions. Include obstacles that test agility. Create jumping obstacles. Build a balancing obstacle for your course. Include teamwork in your obstacles. Create obstacles that test strength.

You need to know what you hope to gain from brainstorming. Whether you hope to clarify a business model, come up with a business idea or product, or find a solution to a customer need, you have to be absolutely clear about the purpose of your discussions. What do you want to have in the end? A completed business plan? A product design? Write this objective down and place it prominently in your brainstorming space to keep you and your team on track. Regardless of whether or not you have an actual business idea yet, you need a starting point from which your other brainstorming ideas can flow. Small business ideas typically start as something the founder notices, like some kind of unmet need in his or her community or an idea that they have to improve a process. These can be sudden insights or the result of noticing small things through years of work in a certain industry or profession. Whatever idea you have that has caused you to bring people together and think up a small business, define it, and then move forward from there.  It is also important to clearly and succinctly define the starting point or the impetus for the brainstorming session so that everyone is focused on the same input and outcome. The most successful companies started with a combination of a recognized need in the market and a new technology. For example, Google combined people's need to find things easily online with their proprietary search technology. A good starting place could be either one or both, of these two parts. Your starting point doesn't necessarily have to be a solid business or product idea. Instead, it can be a goal, like making money, creating a unique product, or gaining market share. This is more difficult to start with, as you have no guidance on deciding what exactly your future business will do or make. However, this also opens up limitless possibilities. And even if you do have a solid idea, determining what you want from your business can help you with long-term planning. Do not invite people who will think the same...

TL;DR in English: Define the objective of your brainstorming session. Come up with a starting point. Decide what you want from your business idea. Brainstorm with a group of people. Set up your brainstorming location.

This problem is easy — just solve exactly as above. See below for a step-by-step solution.  11/4 — to start, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator. 11 ÷ 4 = 2 R 3 — now, we need to make a fraction from the remainder and our original denominator. 11/4 = 2 3/4 We're dealing with a really big numerator here, but don't be intimidated — the process is exactly the same! See below:  99/5 — how many times does 5 go into 99? Since 5 goes into 100 exactly 20 times, it's safe to say that 5 goes into 99 19 times. 99 ÷ 5 = 19 R 4 — now, we just put the mixed number together like before. 99/5 = 19 4/5 Up until now, we've only dealt with improper fractions where the numerator is bigger than the denominator. But what happens when they're the same number? See below to find out.  6/6 — six goes into six one time with no remainder, obviously. 6 ÷ 6 = 1 R0. Since a fraction with 0 in the numerator is always equal to zero, we don't need to put a fraction next to our whole number. 6/6 = 1 If the numerator is a multiple of the denominator, you don't have to bother with the remainder — just do the division problem to get your answer. See below.  18/6 — since we know that 18 is just 6 × 3, we know we'll have a remainder of 0, so we don't need to worry about the fraction part of our mixed number. 18/6 = 3 Negatives work exactly the same way as positive numbers do. See below:  -10/3 -10 ÷ 3 = -3 R1 -10/3 = -3 1/3

TL;DR in English: Convert 11/4 to a mixed number. Convert 99/5 to a mixed number. Convert 6/6 to a mixed number. Convert 18/6 to a mixed number. Convert -10/3 to a mixed number.

If you’re using your air unit on a daily basis -- running your air conditioner in the summer, for instance -- you should check the unit’s filter once a month. This way you will be able to see if the filter is dirty and needs changing. If you don’t use your air unit frequently, you may still want to check your filter once a month if your household includes pets, smokers, or a large amount of people. If your unit’s filter is non-pleated (has a smooth surface instead of a ridged one), it has less surface area to filter out particles and will become dirty and ineffective sooner. You may prefer non-pleated filters as they often have lower energy costs, but be prepared to change them more often. Even if your filter doesn’t look particularly dirty, it should be changed at least every 3 months when it’s being used regularly. Air conditioners should have new filters every 3 months in the summer, and the same goes for furnace filters in the winter. No matter when you changed it last, you should always get a new filter if your current one appears dirty or damp, or if it seems to be growing mold. If you hold your air filter up to a light, you should be able to see through it easily. If not, it should be changed immediately.

Understand that self-help alone may not be enough to overcome the desire to purge. Professional help, in combination with the other methods listed here, is the most beneficial way to overcome this condition. A professional can help you to create a plan tailored to your specific needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective therapy modality for reducing purging behaviors. CBT is about changing your thoughts in order to change your feelings (anxiety, guilty, worry, depression) and behaviors (purging). . A therapist can help you understand that purging is not the solution to resolve weight problems nor the right coping mechanism to deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, frustration, anger, hopelessness and low self-esteem. Therapists are typically non-judgmental and safe individuals to confide in regarding your purging behaviors. You can look up a therapist that specializes in eating disorders online, or you can talk to a family member or trusted doctor who can help you to find someone that will fit your needs best. Your treatment does not necessarily need to consist of only one therapist. Many people who experience an eating disorder actually work with multiple professionals to help create a meal schedule and plan of action that works. These professionals can include: Physicians, counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists/therapists, and nutritionists (dietitians). There are different medications, including antidepressants, that have been shown to reduce symptoms of binging and purging. However, medication is typically not enough to treat purging behaviors. The best treatment is usually a combination of medication and therapy.  Consult with your medical doctor to get a referral to a psychiatrist in your area. Or, you can contact your insurance company or conduct an online search for low-cost mental health clinics in your area. While, medical doctors (MDs, general practitioners) can typically prescribe medications for mental health concerns, psychiatrists are specifically trained in mental...

Hide your to-do list, disregard your chores, and take a break from your responsibilities. Consider taking the day off of work, if you can. It's your birthday, and maybe the greatest present will be a bit of quiet and piece of mind. Turn off your work phone and put away your laptop. Take a break from media in general (including social media). Make peace and relaxation your focus for the day, especially if your work life is very busy. Grab some bubble bath, fill your tub with warm water, and soak away your troubles. Include things like a facial mask, manicure and pedicure, and a massage for a real spa day at home!  If celebrating someone else’s birthday, you can create a gift basket with at-home spa products, like lotion, bubble bath, massage oil, and nail polish, for example. For children, you can get bright colored bubble bath or bath crayons or markers to make bath time more fun. Kick back and relax on your sofa or chair, and pop in your favorite movie. Watch 1 movie or have a marathon. You can also try a new TV show on Hulu or Netflix.  Hanging out and watching a flick will give you some time to unwind and let go, which may be the ideal present for your birthday. You can watch movies with your family, friends, or by yourself, depending on how you want to celebrate. When was the last time you could flip through a novel without worrying about your to-do list? On your birthday, take some quiet time for yourself. Spend some time reading a book, newspaper, or magazine. What's more relaxing than your fuzzy pajama bottoms and slippers? Make it a point to stay comfy and relaxed, and you can do this by deciding not to get dressed if you'd like! You can celebrate by setting aside time for things you enjoy. Being creative and working on a hobby can help you wind down and relax, as well as treat yourself to something you enjoy. Work on a painting or drawing, find a DIY craft tutorial, or start a new sewing project, for example.

TL;DR in English: Put aside all responsibilities for the day. Disconnect from your electronics for your special day. Take a bubble bath for a relaxing spa day at home.

This will open the "Run" program from which you can access your PC's registry.  Doing so will launch the Registry Editor tool. You'll need to navigate through several of the folders listed here in order to reach your destination. Since the registry holds most of your computer's sensitive system information, consider clicking File and then Export in the top left corner of your screen to back up your registry before proceeding. Note that you'll need to click the + sign to the left of the folder to expand it--don't click the folder itself. Each folder you need to expand after this point will be inside of the previous folder (for example, "SOFTWARE" was inside of "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and so on).    Don't expand this one. You should see its contents listed in a window on the right side of the Registry Editor page.   These should be several pairs and sequences of random numbers. This should remove the values listed here. It doesn't matter what you put here, but you'll need to keep the format consistent (for example, if you deleted four characters, you'll need to replace that section with four characters).

Many inhalants that are abused can be found in the home or office. All inhalants can be grouped into larger categories based on their properties. The first category is volatile solvents, a group of chemicals that originate in a liquid state, but become a gas at room temperature. Products in this group include:  Paint thinner Degreasing type cleaners Gasoline Glue Correction liquid such as White Out Markers with felt tips such as permanent markers or dry erase markers Another category of inhalants is gases. This group includes products that contain gasses, which are typically under pressure. The hit taken off aerosol gases, such as those found in whip cream, are often referred to as whippets. Common types of gases are:  Butane tanks Lighters Whipped cream cans Medical gasses such as chloroform The third category of inhalants is aerosols. These chemicals are usually products that are sprayed and can then be inhaled from a bag or rag. These products are sprays such as:  Hair spray Spray paint Non-stick sprays such as vegetable oil from a spray can Keyboard cleaners in a can The last group of inhalants is known as nitrites. These are a special class of inhalants because they do not affect the nervous system like other inhalants. They work to dilate blood vessels and relax the muscles. Because of this, nitrites are used as sexual enhancers, whereas other inhalants are used to alter mood. Nitrites are often called poppers or snappers and are sold in small bottles labeled for other uses, such as leather cleaner, room deodorizer, or liquid aroma.

As a loved one, you can do your part in reassuring someone you care about by letting them know what they mean to you. Of course, this won't make their troubles go away, but it will help them feel less alone in facing them. You might say something like, “I love you so much. I'm sorry you're going through this, but I'm here.” People suffering from anxiety may only see the world from the perspective of fear, which makes them feel like a burden to the people around them. Your loved one may not know just how valuable they are to you, so tell them. You might say, “I know you probably don't know this, but once I was feeling really down in the dumps. I didn't think I could go on anymore. You randomly called me. Without even knowing, you made my day so much better.” Those who feel fear or anxiety may only see their weaknesses. So, your friend doesn't need more criticism, they need reminding of their positive traits. This can help reassure them and empower them to overcome their fears. For instance, if you and a friend who has social anxiety are going to an event, you might say, “Sandra, I really like the color of your dress, and your makeup is flawless.” Or you might praise character traits like, “Gee, Greg, you are such a great listener. I don't know what I would do without you.” If your friend is nervous about an upcoming event or activity, do your part to encourage them. Cheer them on by reminding them how great they are and letting them know you believe in their abilities. You might say something like, "I know you're worried about the test, but you shouldn't be. You're a rock star! You know your stuff, so I know you'll knock this test out of the park!"

TL;DR in English: Tell them how much you care. Explain how they have made your life better. Praise them. Root them on.

Keep track of how long you can ordinarily work before getting tired. Once you have this benchmark, try working more than this on one day, followed by a day in which your work load is lighter. Periodically pushing yourself like this can help your build up to being able to work effectively for longer periods. Another technique to building up to longer periods of work is to push yourself a little further at times. When you feel like you don’t want to work any longer, or are looking for ways to procrastinate, don’t stop immediately. Instead, commit to working a little longer (20 minutes, for example), and then stopping. Getting enough rest is important to maintaining a good work ethic. If you are truly tired (and not looking to procrastinate), it is a sign that you should take a break. Whatever your work schedule is like, make sure you factor in enough time for sleep and relaxation into your day.  There is some variation from person to person, but generally adults need 7.5 to 8.5 hours of sleep per day. Work can be very important, but it is also important not to neglect other parts of your life. Everyone needs mental breaks, to have time to do things they enjoy, and to take care of non-work priorities. Maintaining a life beyond work is actually part of developing a good work ethic, so make sure you allow yourself this.  When you are off of work for the day, disconnect completely. Try not to think about pending projects, check your work email, or talk too much about work with family and friends.

TL;DR in English: Build up to longer periods of work. Give yourself time to rest. Maintain a good work-life balance.

Many teachers make their expectations clear at the beginning of the semester. Learning these quickly and adhering to them will give the teacher fewer reasons to pick on you.   Keep a copy of the syllabus with you during class as a reference. Be sure to follow any special formatting rules they may have for homework assignments. Teachers want students to listen to their lessons. Looking interested and engaged shows them that you take your learning seriously.  Sit up straight at your desk. Look up from your notebook to show you are paying attention. Make sure you are setting aside enough time to prepare for exams in the teacher's class. Maintaining a good grade in the class will show the teacher you are invested. Make sure you are raising your hand and answering questions a couple of times per class to show you are interested. Don’t over do it. Some teachers can be just as put off by the teacher's pet as they can a slacker student.

TL;DR in English: Learn the classroom rules and expectations. Look attentive. Study for quizzes and tests. Participate a moderate amount.

If you have more than 1 color of each bra, then you should keep all of the colors separate. For example, if you have 3 nude bras and 3 black keep the nude bras together and the black bras together. If you have multiple bras of the same color, then arrange them from dark to light. If you have lots of different colors, you could arrange them in rainbow order, or as close to it as possible. For example:  If you have medium pink, burgundy, and light pink bras, arrange them from dark-to-light: burgundy, medium pink, and light pink. If you have teal, pink, blue, yellow, and purple, arrange them in rainbow order: pink, yellow, teal, blue, and purple. Chances are, you have some bras that are simple and plain for wearing every day under t-shirts, and fancier bras for special occasions. You may even have some push-up bras, sports bras, and non-molded/non-padded bras. Keep all of these bras in their own section. If you only have 1 or 2 bras of each color or type, pair them up first, then tuck similar colors/bra types into the same compartment. This way, you won't have 2 bras in 1 compartment and 1 bra in another compartment. You'll have more space for other items, such as underwear. For example:  If you have 1 white, 1 black, and 1 nude bra, put all of them into the same compartment. Keep the other colors in a different compartment. If you have only 2 non-molded bras and 1 fancy bra, keep them in 1 compartment. Keep your molded bras in a second compartment. If your weight and bra size fluctuate often, you probably own several different bra sizes. Keep the different bra sizes in order, from smallest to largest. You can also keep the size you wear the least often towards the back of your drawer. Chances are, there are some bras that you wear more than others because they look better or are more comfortable to wear. It would be much more convenient for you if you put those bras the most towards the front of your drawer, and the bras you seldom wear towards the back. If you are using a shoe cubby or a multi-bra hanger, put...

Visits image banks or galleries online to view images of different tattoos or designs. Images are usually grouped by category, which can reduce your search time if you have a basic idea in mind. Save your favorite images in a folder on your computer, or on a Pinterest. It might be helpful to consider your long-term tattoo plans, too. If you want your initial design to be part of a larger sleeve tattoo, then look for images that show individual tattoos used within a broader sleeve. Most tattoo shops will display portfolios of their regular artists in their waiting area. Visit a shop and peruse these binders to acquaint yourself with what each artist has to offer. Many shops will also make their artists' portfolios available on their website. If you find a tattoo artist whose work you like, book an consultation appointment to discuss a possible tattoo. Bring along pictures of artwork, designs, or other tattoos you like to give the artist a sense of what you want. Discuss the size of tattoo that you want and where you want to put it so that the artist can generate a fitting design for you.

Whether you're buying make-up or laundry detergent, it's important to read the labels on these items.  You may be able to figure out whether or not they contain phthalates.  Although companies are not required to list phthalates, many companies do promote when they do not use phthalates.  Look for wording that says "phthalate-free" on your products. Also look for wording like "synthetic fragrance" as these are sure to contain phthalates. Phthalates are very widespread and found in many foods, plastic products, cosmetics and other household items.  This can make it difficult to figure out how to avoid them.  However, the EWG's Skin Deep Database is a useful resource to help you figure out where these harmful chemicals may be hiding.  This website reviews a variety of chemicals including phthalates and lists what they are, what they're used for, products that contain them and possible side effects from exposure to them.  Take a look at this website to see what products you use or currently own that are listed as containing phthalates. Also review the list of items that are phthalate free.  You can use this to replace products you've previously purchased that did contain this harmful chemical. An easy way to avoid phthalates when it comes to scented items, is to choose natural or fragrance-free items.  This will help limit your exposure to phthalates.  Look for wording like:  "made with only essential oils" or "non-synthetic fragrance."  These will not contain phthalates. Also consider purchasing items that are fragrance-free.  Soap bars, hand soap, body wash and lotions can be purchased without any fragrance. One of the most important places to avoid phthalates (and BPA as well) are baby bottles, pacifiers, teethers and other plastic items.  You do not want your child being exposed to high levels of these harmful chemicals.  Although a law passed in 2009 has banned some types of phthalates from baby products, if you have older toys or products or are getting hand-me-downs, they could still contain some of these...

TL;DR in English: Read the labels on all items. Check out EWG's Skin Deep Database. Only purchase items with natural fragrances. Be careful with baby bottles.

If you expect to have to bring Gardenias in over winter because you live in a cold climate, do yourself a favor by planting them in lighter container materials. You may otherwise find it too difficult to try to bring the heavy pots in for the winter.  Light materials include plastic (you can put the ugly plastic pot inside a more attractive pot). You could also put your pot on a pot trolley to make heavier pots easier to move. In zones 6 and cooler it's important to bring Gardenias outside only in warmer temperatures. The rest of the time they will need to be in heated spaces indoors. Zone 6 temperatures can drop down to -10 degrees Fahrenheit (-23.3 degrees Celsius). A general purpose fertilizer given over six weekly intervals is ideal. Reduce watering over winter but do not allow the plant to dry out completely.

TL;DR in English: Plant your Gardenias in lighter containers if you plan to bring them inside during the winter. Take caution when living in cold climates. Continue feeding Gardenias over winter.

People are looking to vote for a leader who will improve their lives in some way or manage things effectively. Identify problems in people's lives and think of ways to solve them. This will give voters a reason to vote for you, especially if you have a plan that resonates with them.  For instance, if you’re trying to be student body president, you can think of ways to improve the cafeteria food and provide free supplies and materials for students. If you’re running for city council, potential problems could involve things like trash collection or graffiti in the park. Identify two or three big issues that you'd like to change and flesh out a plan on how to accomplish your goals. Choose issues that are important to your voters. A clear campaign message will help people understand what you're all about. Concentrate on talking about your message when speaking to potential voters or making speeches. A campaign message shouldn't be overly long, complex, or confusing. It can be a couple of sentences that hit on the core ideas of your campaign.  For instance, if you were running for chair-person of the health department, your campaign message could include lowering the costs of healthcare, improving patient satisfaction, and providing free ongoing education for doctors. For instance, for the 2016 presidential primaries, Bernie Sanders ran on a platform to reduce income inequality, making college tuition free, and getting big money out of politics. The more diversity on your team, the more opinions and views you can get from people who are similar to your voters. Make sure that each team member is up for the task and that they understand their role in the campaign. Encourage input and try to get as many perspectives as you can.  Roles could include campaign manager, treasurer, fundraiser, and communications director.  If you're trying to get elected to a smaller role, you could assign roles to create posters or talk to people about your platform. If you consider your ideas progressive, target voters who think...

After relaxing, it is best to not use heat styling of any kind on your hair. It will amplify the dryness and can cause a large amount of breakage.  After washing your hair and allowing it to air dry till damp, blow dry on the lowest heat setting. Dry for as short of time as possible to prevent excess damage. If you must speed up drying time, use a soft t-shirt to squeeze moisture out of your hair. The t-shirt will be gentler and more absorbent than your rough towel. Use a protectant spray if you must use heat tools. A heat spray contains proteins to coat the sheath of the hair and act as a buffer between your hair and heat tools. Styles such as braids do not need heat and allow braids one day, and beautiful waves the next. This cuts down on shampooing amounts and allows your hair to regain strength after the first few days of your relaxing.  Satin-covered rollers are a no-heat option. The rollers will lower the amount of frizziness, and the satin will prevent rubbing and tangling. Whenever using hair elastics, try to use no-damage bands. Many hair elastics are designed for less damage and ripping when used. Pick up some fashion friendly clips. Barrettes that are smooth with no teeth will prevent your hair from being damaged. Available in an assortment of styles, barrettes can be used to simply pin your hair away from your face or keep it up off your neck in a pony-tail style. Split ends are a part of life, no matter how well you care for your hair. After a tough processing like relaxing, already-beat-up ends can be brutalized. Regularly trim your split ends to prevent the damage from travelling up into your hair. A professional can spot hair damage you might not be able to.

Once you're cleared to drive, you can start picking up customers. Everything is handled through the Uber Driver app on your smartphone. If you have multiple vehicles registered to you as an Uber driver, make sure the correct vehicle is selected in the app before going online. This will make your car available for hire and you'll be taken to the map screen. You'll receive trip requests when you are the closest car to the rider when they request a ride. Try to drive around busy areas to ensure that you're receiving lots of requests. You'll have 30 seconds to accept the request before it is given to another driver. You're rated on how quickly you accept requests, so it's recommended that you tap it as soon as it appears. When a ride request appears, tapping anywhere on the screen will accept it. You can follow the map on your screen, or tap the Navigate button to get turn-by-turn directions. Your rider may not be ready when you reach the pickup spot. Give them a minute or two before trying to contact them. If your rider hasn't appeared after a couple minutes, you can contact them through the app:  Tap the Checklist button in the upper-right corner. Tap the Contact button under your rider's name. Send a text message to the rider. Make sure you're picking up the right person. This is especially important in busy areas where multiple Uber drivers may be operating. It is illegal to pick up riders who have not requested a ride through the Uber app. This will switch the app to your rider's destination. Make sure to confirm the destination with the rider in case they entered it incorrectly or want to go somewhere else. Try to take the quickest route if you know it, or tap the Navigate button for turn-by-turn directions. Quicker trips will result in better ratings. This will end the trip and send the fare to the rider's Uber app. Your rider will be rating you and you will be rating your rider. It's recommended to give 5 stars unless you encountered significant problems. Tap Complete Rating after selecting the rating you...

TL;DR in English: Start the Uber Driver app. Review the vehicle displayed. Tap the Go Online button to start looking for fares. Drive around until you receive a trip request. Tap your screen to accept a ride request. Follow the route on the app to the rider's location. Wait for your rider at the pickup location. Contact the rider if they aren't showing up. Ask the rider's name before they get in the car. Slide the Start Trip button to begin the trip. Drive to the destination. Slide the Complete Trip button when you arrive. Rate your rider.

Most blisters will heal on their own if the source of the blister or the causative agent is removed or eliminated. As soon as you see the beginnings of a blister, take away the cause immediately if possible.  For example, remove uncomfortable shoes or clothing that might be causing the blister. If you are blistering from cold or heat, remove your body from the source of the temperature. If you are out in the sun, go indoors immediately or cover yourself with clothing. To help relieve the pain of the blister, and start healing it, you should protect it. Use a moleskin pad or other bandage to cover and protect a blister.  Protecting the blister is extremely important if the blister is on a weight-bearing area, like your foot. You can cut a cushioning bandage into a donut shape to help cushion the area while leaving the blister untouched.  Though you want to cover the blister when you are going to put weight or other objects against it, leave the blister open to the air as much as possible. For example, when you are at home, uncover the blister. Try soaking the blister if it is bothering you. You can soak the blister in cool water every few hours, especially if it is painful or itchy. Place a rag in cold water, twist out all the water, then place it on the blister for a calming affect. Blood blisters are painful and should be left alone to heal. To help reduce the pain, you can apply an ice pack to them immediately after they appear.  Keep the ice pack on the blood blister for five to 15 minutes every hour until the pain is reduced. You can use a bag of frozen vegetables if you don’t have an ice pack. Wrap the ice pack in a towel. Never apply ice directly onto any blister. If your blister has popped, apply some antibiotic ointment. This helps heal the blister and prevent infection. Make sure to cover with gauze or a bandage.  You can use a triple antibiotic cream, like neomycin or bacitracin. You can also an ointment such as Vaseline. Stop using any ointment that causes a rash. Generally, you only apply...

TL;DR in English: Remove the source of the blister. Protect the blister. Soak the blister. Use an ice pack. Apply antibiotic ointment. Use aloe vera gel. Try green tea. Apply vitamin E.

If home treatment isn't working or the tendinitis is adversely affecting your daily life, see your doctor. Tendinitis is common and very treatable, and getting a medical diagnosis early can help you get proper treatment.  You can see your regular doctor or visit an orthopedist, who specializes in treating disorders such as tendinitis.  Your doctor will conduct a physical exam to check for signs of tendinitis and will also likely ask for a health history, including factors such as what type of activities you do. Your doctor will check for signs or signs of tendinitis once you've described your symptoms. Your doctor may be able to diagnose tendinitis with a simple examination instead of ordering more in-depth tests. One common way of diagnosing tendinitis is palpation, where your doctor uses her hands and fingers to feel the affected areas carefully.  Your doctor may check for swelling along the tendon or in the corresponding area.  She may check for thickening or increase in the size of your tendon.  Your doctor may look or feel for bony spurs along your elbow, shoulder, knee or heel.  Your doctor may feel along your tendon and ask you what the point of maximum tenderness is.  Your doctor may also test the range of motion. In particular, she'll see if you have a decreased ability to flex your joint. If your doctor suspects that you have tendinitis, she may order tests after conducting your physical exam. These tests can help confirm a diagnosis and help your doctor formulate a treatment plan. Your doctor may not be able to diagnose tendinitis through a simple examination with her hands. She may order that you get an X-ray or MRI to ensure your symptoms are a result of tendinitis. An MRI is more expensive than an X-ray, but may be more effective for diagnosing soft-tissue injuries such as tendinitis.  X-rays and MRIs make images of the inside of your joint and tendon areas and can make it easier for your doctor to identify not only if you have tendinitis, but also exactly where the affected area is. This can...

Understand the meaning of a substantiated claim of abuse. Deal with law enforcement. Make your way through the courts. Work with your lawyer and follow court orders.

You must be at least 15 years and six months old in order to qualify for any driving privileges in Arizona. At that age, you can earn a learner's permit. At the age of 16, if you meet other requirements, you can obtain a Class G graduated driver license. When you turn 18 you will become eligible for a Class D regular driver license. If you are at least 15 years and six months old, you can sign up for and take a state-approved driver education course. During your course, you will receive 30 hours of classroom instruction as well as six hours of behind-the-wheel training. If you complete this course successfully, it will satisfy the requirement for 30 hours of supervised driving that you need to get your Class G driver license. If you do not take a driver education course, you can still sign up with your local MVD Office to get a learner's permit. When you go to your local MVD office, you will need to fill out a Driver License Application (Form 40-5122) and have a parent sign it. You will also have to prove your identity in the same manner you would have to if you were applying for a normal driver license. Next you will take a vision and written exam. If you pass these tests, you will need to pay $7 in order to receive your learner's permit. The written exam is relatively extensive and you should study before you visit the MVD. Your learner's permit will allow you to drive so long as you have a licensed driver who is 21 or older with you in the front seat at all times. You should try to log 30 hours of total driving time with your learner's permit. 10 of those hours should be at night. Once you have turned 16 and held your learner's permit for six months, you will be eligible for a Class G driver license. In addition, you must have logged your required 30 hours of supervised driving or completed a driver education course. To get your Class G license you will need to visit your local MVD office and:  Show your valid learner's permit; Bring written certification proving you logged 30 driving hours or a...

TL;DR in English: Meet the minimum age requirement. Take a driver education course. Obtain a learner's permit. Log supervised driving hours. Earn your Class G driver license.

Rodents can bring germs into the kitchen that can make you or people in your home sick. If possible, keep the rodents out of the kitchen, preparing them in a separate area.  Many pet stores sell frozen rodents, or you can purchase them online. Don't feed your snake frozen prey that’s more than 6 months old. Place it into a zip-top bag, as you don't want to thaw it in water without a bag around it. Remove as much air as you can before zipping up the bag. It's actually best to place the mice in bags before you stick them in your freezer, but if you didn't do that, just place it in a clean bag now. It doesn't have to be microwave safe, just heat-safe. Make sure the bowl or mug is big enough to hold the rodent and enough water to cover the bag completely. Keep the bowl separate from your food bowls. You don't want to use a bowl for eating that you've thawed a rodent in. Leave the rodent in the refrigerator overnight, and it should be thawed by morning. Because a mouse is so small, it may only take a couple of hours to thaw, but a rat will take 4-5 hours.  If it smells really bad when thawed, the rodent is likely not good to give to your snake. Don’t offer feeders that have been in the freezer for more than 6 months to your snake. Just toss them. Rodents have to be thawed, warmed, and then fed to the snake to allow the snake to digest the prey properly and avoid an overgrowth of bad bacteria. Pour cold water over the rodent, which should still be in the bag in the bowl, and set it out on the counter. Leave it for 30 minutes, and then check on it. Some rodents may be thawed in this time. If it's not, replace the water and leave it another 30 minutes.  Pour the water off when you're done. Don’t thaw the rodent in the microwave or in hot water, because this can make it spoil. You don't want to feed your snake a cold rodent, because cold will slow down your snake’s digestion. Pour hot water over the rodent, but don't use boiling water. Let the rodent sit in the water for 10-20 minutes. Check on mice after 10 minutes,...

TL;DR in English: Prepare frozen rodents away from the kitchen when possible. Put the frozen rodents in a plastic bag. Place the bag in a heat-safe bowl or mug. Set the rodent in the refrigerator for easy thawing. Thaw the rodent in cold water for quicker thawing. Use hot water to warm up the rodents after they thawed. Wash your hands and the area after handling the rodents.

A simple way to add a front panel to your shadow box is to connect a wooden picture frame that already has the glass connected to it. Choose a frame that fits the dimensions of your shadow box so it fits onto it evenly.  Remove any backing or other materials from the picture frame so that only the front wooden frame and the glass remains. You can buy new frames at craft supply stores and department stores. Look for old picture frames at thrift stores that you can upcycle for your project! Flip the picture frame over so the back is facing up. Use a power drill to attach a small hinge to the outermost edge of one of the sides of the frame near the top. Then, attach another small hinge to the outermost edge of the frame near the bottom so there are 2 hinges on the same side.  Make sure the hinges are aligned with each other and evenly spaced from the top and bottom edges of the frame. Use the small screws that come with the hinges. You can find small hinges at home improvement stores, department stores, and online. Lay the picture frame on your shadow box frame and align the hinges so they lay flat on the outer edge on the front. Use your drill to drive the screws into the shadow box frame so the hinges connect the picture frame to it.  Open and close the front panel to make sure it works and the edges are lined up evenly. You can also use a screwdriver if you don’t have access to a power drill. Use the same paint or stain that you used to paint the rest of the shadow box frame and apply a thin coat over the front panel. Allow the paint to dry completely and then add a second coat so none of the original paint or color is visible. Use as many coats as it takes to cover the panel without any of the original paint visible.

TL;DR in English: Use a picture frame with glass that matches your dimensions. Drill 2 hinges onto the inside of the picture frame. Screw the hinges to the front edge of the shadow box frame. Paint the front panel to match the rest of the frame.

The entire investigation comes down to whether or not the investigator "substantiates" the abuse claim. While the standards vary by state, in general, substantiation means there is "probable cause" that the child was mistreated. It means that the state should intervene on behalf of the child to lessen the chance of further harm.  This does not mean you have been found guilty of child abuse. It means that there is sufficient reason to continue the investigation. A survey conducted in 2000 looking at over 5,000 reports of child abuse, found that about 29 percent were substantiated. This shows that the vast majority of allegations do not pan out and are closed. Depending on the nature of the allegations and whether the case is substantiated by social services, you may find yourself being interviewed by the police. This is a time to know your rights.  The first question to ask is if you are under arrest. If the answer is "yes" you must immediately invoke your right to a lawyer. If the answer is "no" then you should strongly consider declining to speak with the police until you can talk with a lawyer. Approximately half to two-thirds of police interviews yield a full or partial confession.  Police are professional interrogators. No matter what is said about the interview being "to clear things up," and to "hear your side," you must never forget that they are seeking incriminating information.  Even if you are completely innocent, if you have been accused of child abuse, do not speak to the police without first speaking with an attorney. Child abuse cases can lead to two different types of court cases. The first is criminal, ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. The second is the "abuse/neglect" court where social services cases are heard with the goal of reunifying the child with the family. You are likely to end up in an abuse/neglect proceeding if the alleged victim is your own child. There is no chance of being put in jail in this type of court. However, in very serious cases, your parental rights...

TL;DR in English:


Do not starve yourself. Hydrate your body first thing in the morning. Exercise as much as possible. Incorporate healthy fats.

Use a sharp knife and slice the beef into thin strips along with the grain. Each strip should be about 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Cut each strip crosswise into 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) slices. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, half the soy sauce, and the sesame oil. Add the beef, then stir well until all the meat is coated. Set the meat aside for 10 to 20 minutes. Use your hands to separate the noodles into strips. If necessary, cut the noodles into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) pieces.  Note that the noodles may break into shorter pieces as you separate them. Use actual chow fun noodles if possible. If not, use any wide rice noodle. Cut the white portions off the green onions. Smack the white parts with the flat side of your knife, and place them in a bowl.  You should also add the ginger and garlic to the same bowl, as well. Place the green portions of the onion in a separate bowl. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the white pepper, sugar, remaining soy sauce, rice wine, oyster sauce, and water. Place this seasoning liquid near the stove, next to the other ingredients. Place a large skillet or wok on the stove and heat it on high. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of cooking oil. The skillet is hot enough when you can add a bead of water to it and watch it evaporate withing 1 to 2 seconds. Place the ginger, garlic, and crushed sections of the green onion in the hot oil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 15 seconds or until the aroma gets drawn out. Once ready, carefully push the aromatics to one side of the pan. Add the beef to the pan in a flat layer. Sear it without stirring for 1 minute. Place the bean sauce in the skillet. Stir together with the beef and continue cooking for 30 seconds.  Use black bean garlic sauce. If you cannot find any at the store, you can crush 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of cooked black beans with a fork and add that, instead. The beef should be cooked through, but be careful to avoid overcooking it. Once cooked, remove the beef, bean sauce, and aromatics. Set it aside. After removing the contents of...

TL;DR in English: Cut the beef. Marinate the beef. Separate the noodles. Split the green onions. Prepare the seasoning liquid. Heat the skillet. Stir-fry the aromatics. Cook the beef. Add the bean sauce. Cook the noodles and bean sprouts. Return everything to the pan. Serve.

If you make money via affiliate marketing, you can be sure that you're going to have to pay taxes on that income. At the beginning of each year, your partner companies should send you a 1099 tax form. If they don't, you're still required to report the income to the IRS.   If you're running your affiliate marketing business as a sole proprietor or LLC, you'll report 1099 income on Schedule C - Profit or Loss from Business.  If you're running your business as an S or C corporation, you'll report the income on Schedule K-1. Your business is likely to do one of two things: expand or contract. That's why you should always be striving for growth, otherwise your business will shrink and provide you with diminishing returns.   Look for new products that you think you can market online. Browse through various affiliate sites. Look for new businesses that have recently welcomed affiliates and, if they're offering something you think you can market well, partner up with them. Promote your business constantly online. Use social media, email, and other channels to promote your business so that people keep coming back and looking for great deals on the products and services that you're marketing. Once your business takes off, it's time for you to focus on how to grow your business while delegating routine tasks to others. It will cost you some money in labor expense, but the investment is worth it if it allows you to come up with new ways to promote your affiliate marketing business and build it even further. There are plenty of digital marketing tools available. Again, some of them will require you to make an investment, but if it gives you more free time to build your business, then the return on investment should be positive.  Focus on creating a long-term strategy for your business while your tools and employees handle routine, day-to-day tasks. That way, you can handle "big picture" responsibilities to ensure that your business continues to grow.

TL;DR in English: Prepare for taxes. Expand your business. Delegate routine tasks. Automate what you can.

Wear business casual or business formal clothes when you check in, such as a dress shirt with pants or a nice blouse with a skirt. Hotel employees will see your outfit and think that you’re professional and responsible, so they may be more likely to upgrade your room. Avoid wearing any dirty or baggy clothes since the employees may think you won’t take good care of the room. Even if you’re able to check in earlier in the day, wait until the late afternoon since receptionists will know which rooms are more likely to be vacant overnight. Try to get to the hotel between 3-5 PM since the employees may bump you into a better room. Don’t arrive much later than 6 PM since employees that have the power to give you an upgrade may have left for the day. If you are staying at the hotel because of a birthday, anniversary, or another important event, let the receptionist or concierge know in conversation. Bring it up casually in conversation when you’re checking in since the employees may be able to upgrade your room to help you celebrate. Avoid lying about special events just to get a hotel room upgrade. You might stay at the same hotel again in the future, and keeping up with the lie could become too complicated. While you’re checking in, ask the receptionist if there’s any way they can upgrade your room. Smile and be genuine with the staff so you’re more likable and stand out from other guests. Let them know specific things you’d like in your room, such as a different view or more space. If you’re polite, they may be willing to meet your requests so you have the best stay.  For example, you may ask directly by saying, “Are there any rooms available to upgrade to?” or you can ask indirectly by saying something like, “Do you have something on a higher floor?” Try asking how much it would be to upgrade your room. If you show that you’re willing to pay extra, the hotel may upgrade you at no charge if it’s a simple fix. If you get to your room and there’s a problem, like the shower isn’t working or the blinds don’t close...

TL;DR in English: Dress well to show you’re responsible. Arrive between 3-5 PM for the best chances at an upgrade. Let the check-in counter know if you are celebrating a special occasion. Ask politely if there’s an opportunity for a room upgrade. Complain about your room if you’re genuinely not satisfied with it.
