Strength implies having power and being able to change your own life, while weakness implies being powerless and helpless. Whatever your circumstances, there are things you can control, and things you can't. The key is to focus on the things you can control. Make a list of what is troubling you, then make a list of what you can do to make each situation better. Accept the items on the first list (they are what they are) and focus your energy on the second list. In studies of people with a high Adversity Quotient (AQ), it's observed that resilient people not only always find some aspect of a situation that they can control, but also feel responsible for taking action to fix the situation, even if their hardship was caused by someone else. Those with a low AQ, however, ignore opportunities to take action and deflect accountability, presuming that because they didn't create the situation, they should not be the ones to fix it. Sometimes, we encounter situations in which we really are helpless to enact change. Even though these times are trying, you can still be in control because no matter what, you can always control your attitude towards life. As Victor Frankl put it: "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Regardless of what is happening, be positive.  If somebody is making your life miserable, don't let them crush your spirit. Continue to be proud, have hope, and remember that attitude is something that no one can take away from you. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent," as Eleanor Roosevelt said. Try not to let a crisis or hardship in one area of your life spill over into other areas of your life. If you're facing great difficulty with work, for...

TL;DR in English: Remember that you are in control. Choose your attitude. Rediscover your zest for life. Have faith in yourself. Pick your battles wisely. Reach out to the people who mean the most to you. Strike a balance between work and play, rest and activity. Be thankful for what you have Don't take things so seriously Remember that nothing is permanent.

One option for a mother-in-law who has declining health is to use home health aids. You can hire home health aids to simply be with your mother-in-law to give you a break, or you can use them for more hands-on care that you can't handle.  However, this option can be costly to use on a regular basis, so you need to consider your financial situation before deciding on a home health aid. It may be possible that your mother-in-law can pay for the aid, but many elderly people are not keen on outside help, even when they need it. Another option for older adults is adult day care. Adult day care is much like day care for kids. Your mother-in-law goes to a center during the day, where she'll be provided with meals, activities, and sometimes, physical therapy.   Once again, though, it can be expensive, and your mother-in-law might not be very amenable to the idea. The plus side is it frees up your days to do things outside the home, if you've been staying home caring for your mother-in-law. If your spouse has other siblings, they may be able to provide some help, even if they can't invite your mother-in-law to live with them. Asking for help can be difficult, but it can take some of the burden off of you and your family.  For instance, your family may be able to stay with your mother-in-law once in a while to help spot you. They may also be able to invite your mother-in-law for short stays, such as a week or two, to give you a break. Church friends and other close friends may also be willing to offer some relief by giving you an afternoon off. Family may be willing to chip in a bit financially. If $100 would make a difference in how you feel about having her there, maybe some family members would be able to help out, since they can't take her themselves. If your mother-in-law is independent, ask her if you can have some alone time with your spouse so that you can grow your marriage. Suggest that she give you an alone night once a week by letting you go out with your spouse or by having her go out. Another option is...

TL;DR in English: Use home health aids. Think about adult day care. Ask family for help. Ask for space.

Take a moment to consider why they are acting out and know that it may have little to do with you. The best bet in this case is to refuse to engage with these kinds of students. Refrain from giving them any sort of reaction.  When other students seem to treat everyone around them in a mean manner, it can be a sign these students have underlying issues they are trying to hide. They are probably not acting mean to just you, but instead trying to hide their need to fit in with a mean attitude that pushes everyone else away. They may feel like the safest approach at school is to scare everyone off so no one can hurt them.  If the bullies are acting out for attention, there's a good chance that they will leave you alone if you don’t react. There are a variety of behaviors that can hurt your feelings, but each one requires a different course of action. Is there an actual action being made against you like being called names or is it more of the feeling of being left out of things? Take a look at their actions to see if they are being done to make an effort to harm you or if you are just interpreting a lack of effort on their part to include you to be mean. In order for it to be considered bullying there must be an imbalance of power, intent to harm and repetition. Bullying is a serious offense, so be sure the behavior happening to you meets the criteria before you get your classmates in trouble.  While at times any mean behavior at school may be labeled as being “bullying,” not all behaviors actually add up to this. For example, if a classmate who is in the same grade level, about the same physical size and has no real power over you is bothering you, this probably isn’t bullying since there is equal power. The intimidation factor isn’t present. Beyond the power issue there also needs to be a valid intent to harm, so if this is a classmate who just plays jokes on you but doesn’t seem to want to harm you that isn’t bullying. A classmate pulling one practical joke also lacks the repeated pattern of bullying as well....

TL;DR in English: Ignore them whenever possible. Define the hateful behavior. Decide if the behavior could be labeled as bullying. Involve a teacher or authority figure, if necessary.

If you have a dog that is out for its walk, you may want to use a plastic spatula. If you have multiple options, opt for whichever one has the longest handle.  You may not want to use a spatula that you frequently use to cook. If possible, buy one that you can designate for

Get a spatula. Squeeze a liberal amount of lotion onto the spatula. Gently reach the spatula behind your back. Spread the lotion around your back.

As with hair loss in men, the most important first step is to consult a doctor. The earlier a woman seeks care, the sooner a doctor can administer the proper treatment, which is more likely to yield positive results and regrowth. Your doctor will run a panel of tests to check everything from deficiencies to levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Deficiencies such as zinc, iron, or vitamin D can result in hair loss. After your doctor runs a panel of tests, he or she may recommend a stronger daily dose of deficient vitamins or minerals.  In cases where hormonal abnormalities are present—specifically the presence of excess male hormones known as androgens—medications such as spironolactone (which limits aldosterone production) or oral contraceptives may be the solution.  In cases where the diagnosis is alopecia areata, early data shows that JAK inhibitors such as ruxolitinib can suppress the immune response causing the hair loss. A doctor may decide to prescribe minoxidil (Rogaine and its generics) for a woman with DHT-related hair loss. Whereas the minoxidil formulation for men is typically 5%, women are more commonly prescribed a 2% formula.  For a women who really want to maximize the potential for hair regrowth, a doctor may still prescribe the stronger 5% solution; however, while very effective, this can lead to increased facial hair growth as a side effect.  As with men, one of the major drawbacks of minoxidil for women is that the product requires strict adherence to its application. Regrown hair will quickly recede with discontinued use. Hair transplant surgeries relocate healthy hair follicles to affected areas of the scalp and are very effective methods of regrowing hair. Transplant options are best for women with traction alopecia (caused by long wear of tight braids or other things that pull the hair) or hair loss due to trauma such as scarring or burns.  Unfortunately, most women with DHT-related hair loss see a general thinning across the entire scalp as opposed to male pattern baldness which...

TL;DR in English: Consult a doctor. Discuss oral treatment solutions. Discuss topical treatments. Discuss hair transplant options. Do not worry about refraining from typical hair care regimens.

This is to avoid dehydration. Constant vertigo can impair your daily life and provoke anxiety. You may become careless about food and fluid intake. Dehydration may concentrate the infected fluid in the inner ear making the condition worse. In the first few days you may feel severe dizziness and vertigo. You should take rest during this time to avoid fall and injury. After about a week you should start feeling better.  You should not drive or operate sharp machinery during this time. Sudden aggravation of vertigo may cause accident or severe injury. You should not watch TV or read books for a long time. This may lead to eye fatigue which in turn interferes with balance. These can help you boost your immunity to help you fight against any viral or bacterial infections. Such vitamins are:  Vitamin A: it helps by reducing inflammation in the ear and fights off viral or bacterial infection. Vitamin C: it is known to be an antioxidant which promotes healing and recovery. It also makes the immune system stronger. Vitamin B6: it is believed that it prevents or reduces dizziness. Vitamin E: it also helps the healing process to be faster and also boosts the immune system. If you experience vertigo or dizziness while walking or standing, go to bed to take rest. You should find a position that relieves your symptoms. Often you will feel better by lying on your side rather than facing up.  Change positions slowly. Sudden head movement shakes the inner ear fluid that inappropriately stimulates the nerves. If you need to get up from bed, do it slowly. Similarly, lie down slowly from a sitting or standing position. If you notice symptoms while lying down, try sitting up in a chair. They will just make you more uncomfortable. Bright light and absolute darkness both aggravate feelings of imbalance. Use soft light in your room. Similarly, extreme noise will aggravate your tinnitus. The aim is to give rest to the vestibular and hearing systems. You will gradually be able to cope with the altered function of these systems if...

TL;DR in English: Drink plenty of fluids. Rest. Take vitamins. Lie still during an attack. Avoid bright light and extreme noise. Avoid coffee, alcohol and smoking. Start vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). Take medications.

Some dogs aren't ready to meet new people, so don't assume that a dog that is out for its walk wants to be petted. The owner can also offer advice on how to best engage the dog if it is friendly.  Don't run or move quickly toward a dog. Never approach or pet a dog that is nursing her puppies. A flat hand will keep you safe and show the dog that you aren't a threat. Extend your hand but don't touch the dog until it's ready. If the dog is open to you petting it, then it will come to you. Keep your hand extended so that the dog can smell you and decide if it wants you to pet it. If you are afraid, don't reach out to the dog. Dogs can sense your emotions and might get scared. A friendly dog will perk his ears and lower his head. A dog that tilts his ears back, growls, or cowers does not want to be petted, so slowly back away. If the dog shows that it's okay with you, gently pet it. Pet the dog only on his head or upper back. Lightly pet the dog in his safe spots, avoiding his belly, tails, ears, and feet. If you know that there are a lot of dogs where you like to walk, consider carrying treats, such as a milk bone. Giving the dog a small treat can make you instant friends. Ask the dog's owner before giving it a treat. The dog may be on a special diet or may have already had treats.

TL;DR in English: Ask the dog's owner before you approach. Keep your hand flat with your fingers together. Wait for the dog to come to you. Watch the dog's behavior. Give the dog a treat.

You can use a plastic or rubber spatula, and a wooden one will work too, but avoid a metal spatula. If you have multiple options, opt for whichever one has the longest handle.  You may not want to use a spatula that you frequently use to cook. If possible, buy one that you can designate for the purpose of applying lotion. It’s possible to get splinters from a wooden spatula, so be careful when using one. Keep the spatula as flat as you can when you squirt the lotion onto it so that you don’t drop any onto the ground. You may do better to use a little less lotion and make more than one application. Do your best to keep the spatula flat with the lotion side up, bend your arm around to your back and place the lotion against your lower back. Move the head of the spatula around in a circle covering your lower back first and moving up to your mid-back. You can then reach over your shoulder from the top and apply lotion to your upper back as well. Add more lotion if you need to and repeat the process until you have covered all areas of your back.

Don't be afraid to talk to your sister. Don't be afraid to talk to your sister. Don't be afraid to talk to your sister. Don't be afraid to talk to your sister. Don't be afraid to talk to your sister. Don't be afraid to talk to your sister. Don't be afraid

Feel good about asserting yourself, and be prepared to do it again. Reflect on what went well in your conversation and what could go better next time. Change the way you talk to yourself. Make an effort to reach out to your sister more. Talk to your parents and friends about the situation.

Look back over the conflicts you’ve had with your sister. Identify the source of the issue and take time to think about how these conflicts could have been avoided altogether. Try to pinpoint the times that she has pushed you over the edge and consider how you could you have prevented the fight from escalating to that point. This information will help you identify your limits—the baseline and peak of your tolerance for your sister.  Instead of manipulating you into doing something, you would like her to ask you for help or a favor. For example, when she starts to yell at you, will you walk away from the conversation? Or, if she bullies you, will you tell your parents? If you feel comfortable approaching your big sister, you may find it helpful to talk to her about your boundaries. Make sure she understands that you are setting these boundaries because you want to have a healthy relationship with her. After you share your limits with her, ask if she can respect your boundaries. For example, you could say, "Linda, I want to establish some boundaries with you. I will not tolerate you bullying me any more. When this happens, I will let mom and dad or another adult know right away." Like you, your big sister will also have boundaries. Ask her if there is anything you can do to avoid conflict in the future. Remember, if you expect her to respect your boundaries, you must respect hers. For example, you could say, "Linda, do you have any boundaries for our relationship?"

TL;DR in English: Identify your limits. Share your limits with your sister. Respect your sister’s limits.

Whether you're parking for the night or taking a couple hours' snooze break while your friend drives, you'll need to make up for the car's environment. While not impossible to sleep in cars as-is, it can be uncomfortable. You'll probably bring a bit more if you plan to sleep overnight and not just during the drive.  Must-haves are pillows and blankets, or a sleeping bag if you are traveling through regions with cold temperatures. Don't rely for on your car's heating absolutely when you plan to sleep overnight. Make sure you bring enough bedding to accommodate your passengers, especially if they are children. If you are taking a road trip with another person and plan on taking turns driving, you could bring one set of pillows and blankets to save on room space inside the car. Be sure to pack these items inside the car and not in the trunk or on the roof. You may get sleepy earlier than you anticipated, and it's helpful not to have to leave the car when conditions outside aren't great. A lot of people have difficulty sleeping in locations other than their beds. Bring soothing items you use regularly to relax in order to make you feel more comfortable in your car.  For example, if you enjoy reading before bed, bring a book and book light so you can read before falling asleep. Music is helpful here, but don't rely on your car stereo. Bring an mp3 player and headphones so that you can still relax to music with the car off before you go to sleep. If you're especially worried about your ability to fall asleep in the car, consult a pharmacist about over-the-counter sleep aids. Note, however, that you'll be limited from driving once having taken one until you've had at least several hours' rest. For those who are hoping to catch some sleep while a friend drives, you'll want something to keep the sun from your eyes. Those who are burdened with an overnight stay will need coverings to ensure their privacy.  Towels and t-shirts that you're bringing anyway are a great help here. Provided the t-shirts are large enough,...

TL;DR in English: Bring comfortable bedding. Pack comforting items to help you fall asleep. Include coverings for your car windows.

What happens after you have stuck up for yourself is not as important as the fact that you stuck up for yourself. Sticking up for yourself is hard and you should be proud that you did it. It is a good practice that you will need to learn to do many times before things start to change because sticking up for yourself is not a one time fix thing.  While you are in the confrontation, tell yourself that you are doing the right thing. And again after the conversation, remind yourself that it was good to talk to your sister and set your boundaries no matter how she handles it. Don’t be down if there were bad parts of your conversation or if your sister didn’t seem to listen to you. Think about what you did or said that you were glad that you did. Plan on saying things differently, listening better, or reacting to her better based on your conversation. People talk to themselves in their heads and sometimes that self talk becomes negative and starts repeating. When it comes to your sister, make sure that you don’t dwell on only the bad things in your relationship. It is good to think about the ways that we are not being treated right and stick up for ourselves, but we shouldn’t dwell on these things because it might make things worse. Learning how to change your negative self talk positive can help you to reduce your stress in other parts of your life, too.  For example, if you find yourself repeating negative things to yourself like, “I will never like her,” this might make you more bitter toward your sister. And feeling bitter or resentful will make it harder for you two to have a good relationship. Find ways to make your thoughts more positive. You don’t have to lie, but you can say something like, “Sometimes I feel like I really don’t like my sister, but occasionally she sticks up for me with our parents, and I can tell she cares about me.” Refocus on the good things. After a bad conversation you can say to yourself, “No matter what happened, I didn’t lose my cool.” If you have a difficult relationship with your...

Adding a brooch to your blouse will instantly make you look more elegant and refined. Just pass the pin on the brooch into the fabric on your shirt, then push it out through the other side.  Typically, a brooch looks neatest when it's pinned between your breast and collarbone. Don’t gather too much fabric when you’re pinning the brooch to your shirt, or your shirt will look puckered or bunched up. A simple brooch on a solid-colored shirt is a great way to ease into this trend. If you have a shirt with a relatively stiff collar, you can use a brooch to dress it up. You can place a single brooch to one side of the collar, or you can use 2 identical brooches on either side of the collar for a symmetrical look.  Try clustering several brooches along one side of your collar for a unique look. For instance, in the springtime, a collection of flower-shaped brooches would look great on the collar of a chambray button-down. You can also wear the brooch on your shirt just below the points of your collar. Try wearing brooches with a pearl design to soften a Western button-down shirt. Whether you’re wearing a pastel-colored sheath dress, a little black dress, or a sweater dress, a brooch can add visual interest and a unique touch. Experiment with different locations for the brooch to see what looks best.  If your dress has ruched detailing, try placing the brooch at your waist right where the material gathers. Wearing a brooch could leave a small hole in the material, especially if the dress is made of a delicate fabric like chiffon or lace. If that's the case, either opt for a small brooch, or put on a jacket and wear the brooch on that, instead. When the weather turns chilly, there’s nothing more comfortable than pulling on a soft sweater. Dress up your sweater with a little sparkle by pinning on a brooch, and you’ll instantly look more put-together! Elevate your outfit further by adding on some skinny jeans, ankle boots, and a stylish scarf! If you wear a suit or a blazer to work, it can sometimes be hard to...

TL;DR in English: Pin your brooch to the breast of a blouse for a classic look. Use a brooch to emphasize the collar of a shirt. Wear a brooch to add sparkle to a simple dress. Pin your brooch to a cozy sweater to mix style and comfort. Add personality to a jacket or blazer by pinning a brooch to the lapel. Jazz up a simple T-shirt with a brooch. Stick your brooch to the waist of a skirt for an unexpected touch.

To lose weight quickly, you should eliminate the sugars found in most carbohydrates. Simple, or bad, carbohydrates include foods like bread, pasta, and potatoes. All carbohydrates break down into glucose which provides your body with energy. In a weight loss  study, people who cut out carbohydrates were more likely to lose weight than going on a low-fat diet.  Cutting out carbs will help suppress your appetite and lower your blood sugar.   Complex carbohydrates, or 'healthier' carbohydrates, are found in whole wheat, vegetables, fruits, and beans. These do not have to be completely eliminated from your diet but should be eaten in moderation. Junk food will stop you from losing weight. Eliminate it totally from your diet and from your home. You should remove junk food from temptation; clean out your pantry, fridge, and freezer. Avoid eating out at restaurants where these temptations are present. Some junk food to avoid include:  Sugary drinks - This includes any drink that has sugar as an ingredient. The most common of these is pop/soda. However, some fruit juices have added sugar. Pizza White bread and pasta Butter or margarine Pastry, cookies, and cakes French fries and potato chips Ice cream Processed meats and cheeses High calorie coffee drinks Most fast food Most processed foods Foods high in sugar The American Heart Association recommends an adult woman only eating six teaspoons of (about 100 calories) of sugar per day. To lose weight rapidly, you may need to eliminate even this much. Just because you cut junk food from your diet does not meet you have cut all sugars. Sugars can be hidden in foods such as breads, condiments, and sauces. Always check your nutrition label for the sugar content in food. When trying to lose weight, upping your protein intake may be the key. Protein will help you lose weight but keep muscle mass and help you burn calories more quickly. Consider doubling or even tripling your recommended daily amount (RDA) of protein to lose weight.  Your RDA will depend on your gender and...

TL;DR in English: Cut carbohydrates. Eliminate junk food. Eliminate sugar from your diet. Increase protein intake. Increase water intake. Limit salt. Eat a 500 calorie deficit. Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Pay attention to nutrition labels.

A problem involving a monomial and a three-term polynomial will involve one polynomial that only has a single term. The second polynomial will have three terms, which will be separated by either a plus sign or a minus sign.  A polynomial problem involving a monomial and a three-term polynomial will look something like: (ay) * (bx^2 + cx + dy)  Example: (2y)(3x^2 + 4x + 5y) Rewrite the problem so that all the terms are separate by distributing the single-term polynomial to both terms in the three-term polynomial.  Rewritten, the new equation should look similar to: (ay)(bx^2) + (ay)(cx) + (ay)(dy)  Example: (2y)(3x^2 + 4x + 5y) = (2y)(3x^2) + (2y)(4x) + (2y)(5y) The constants refer to the numerical digits in the problem. These are multiplied as they usually would be according to the standard times table.  Again, for this step you are multiplying a, b, c, and d together. Example: (2y)(3x^2) + (2y)(4x) + (2y)(5y) = 6(y)(x^2) + 8(y)(x) + 10(y)(y) The variables refer to the letters in the equation. When you multiply these variables, different variables will simply be combined together. When you multiply a variable by a like variable, though, you raise the power of the variable.  So multiply the the x and y portions of the equation. Example: 6(y)(x^2) + 8(y)(x) + 10(y)(y) = 6yx^2 + 8xy + 10y^2 Due to the single-term monomial at the beginning of this equation, you don't need to combine like terms.  When finished, the final answer should be: abyx^2 + acxy + ady^2  Example substituting sample values for constants: 6yx^2 + 8xy + 10y^2

TL;DR in English: Examine the problem. Distribute the monomial to all three terms in the polynomial. Multiply the constants. Multiply the variables. Write your final answer.

Research studies show that the optimal time to post on Instagram is on Wednesday at about 5 pm. If you want to get more likes, you need to post when people are looking at their phones. That means you usually need to avoid working hours, between 8 and 5 pm, and post who people are still awake and looking at their phones. So, evenings and early mornings are the best times to post to Instagram.  Don't clump up too many pictures at once. If you've got three or four great ones, don't put them all up in a series, or you'll get fewer likes. Unless they specifically go together, wait and space out your posts. Make sure you are posting at the right time for your target audience. If a big part of your audience come from overseas then they could be living in a different timezone. Pictures need to have context. Captions are an opportunity to add a little joke to your post, or give people some other way of reading into it. Use captions ironically so you can give people multiple ways to appreciate your picture.  Most people use captions for their hashtags. This is important, but it's also good to include regular captions as well. Throw some emojis and some text in there as well. Use a caption ironically. If you take a really pretty picture of a sunset in your neighborhood, that's ok, but if it's captioned with, "Too bad my neighborhood smells like dead fish tonight." Hashtags give you a great opportunity to get your pictures out to people who aren't your followers. When people search hashtags for particular themes, your picture will come up. Use a variety of accurate hashtags and trending hashtags to hook your pictures to as many different search terms as possible.  Some of the most popular hashtags include: cute, love, smile, swag, popular, instagood, photooftheday, instamood, picoftheday, and nofilter. Use accurate hashtags. If you take a selfie, hashtag it #selfie. If you take a picture of your bff, hashtag it #bff. Don't overthink it. Geotag your pictures as well. If your picture is tied to a particular place, set your...

TL;DR in English:


Choose a style that is unique to you. This might be painting, sculpting, sewing, creating jewelry, doing woodwork, singing, or composing music. The important part is that you have a way to express yourself in a unique way that you enjoy. Think back on what you enjoyed as a child and find ways

Find a fun creative outlet. Develop your style. Take risks instead of being focused on perfection. Present yourself uniquely.

Sunburned skin often itches, but scratching or peeling away your skin will only increase tissue damage on the sunburned areas, increase peeling, and promote the risk of a skin infection.  If you get the urge to scratch your sunburn, try applying an ice cube wrapped in cloth or a damp paper towel to your skin and rubbing the area in small circles to offer temporary itch relief. If you absolutely must remove some peeled skin, do not pull on the skin, no matter how tempting it might be. Instead, use a small pair of scissors and carefully cut away that section of skin. Try bathing and showering with cool to lukewarm water, rather than using hot water. The hot water will dry out your skin and promote peeling, whereas the cooler water will feel better on your skin and reduce the likelihood of peeling. Use a mild soap, preferably one that's fragrance free. Harsh soaps and fragrances may irritate your skin. Also avoid rubbing your skin dry after bathing, as you could rub off the outermost, burned layer of your skin, causing peeling. Soap can be very drying to skin, and when you have a sunburn, you want your skin to stay as moisturized as possible to promote healing and prevent peeling. Keep the soap use to a minimum, being sure to avoid using it on particularly burned areas of your skin.  If you do use soap, try to refrain from using a washcloth or loofah to apply to soap. The rough surfaces of those materials may irritate your skin and encourage peeling. Choose a mild cleansing soap, such as Dove, Basis, or Oil of Olay Sensitive Skin to clean your face, underarms, feet, and groin. Simply rinse the rest of your body with water. Also, try to avoid shaving and waxing. If you must shave, try to use a rich, moisturizing shaving cream, gel, or lotion.

TL;DR in English: Avoid scratching your skin. Avoid bathing with hot water or harsh soap. Avoid using harsh cleansers or exfoliates.

Discover activities and hobbies that help you express yourself uniquely and creatively.  Express yourself in a way that is significant to you. This might be painting, sculpting, sewing, creating jewelry, doing woodwork, singing, or composing music. The important part is that you have a way to express yourself in a unique way that you enjoy.  Think back on what you enjoyed as a child and find ways to build on that. Engage your playful side and see where it takes you.  You might use your own body to express originality. This might include the way you dress, your hair, or modifications such as piercings or tattoos. This goes for fashion, art, and everything in between. Take your interests and put your own twist on them. If you don’t know where to start in creating a style, do something that interests you until you find your ‘sweet spot.’ Be willing to take risks and fail as you define your style.  For example, if you’re a photographer, take photos of people, places, animals, and nature, and utilize different lenses and techniques. Notice what resonates with you, and you can begin to develop within framework. With practice, you might find that your style is taking black-and-white landscape photos. Constantly assess your work and yourself. Think about what do you do well and what you can improve on. If you feel constrained by being perfect or having a perfect idea, you likely won’t reach your potential in creating something truly original. Be willing to take risks and experience failure. While you’re creating, be willing to approach things unconventionally and make changes later. There’s no need to put your work in a box. For example, if you usually draw clean lines in your sketching, experiment with imperfect lines and see how it affects your work. If you want to show your originality to others, your appearance is a great way to showcase your unique style. Figure out what you like to wear and what feels comfortable. Find a clothing style you enjoy (such as dramatic, classy, romantic) and make it your own.  If you...

Measure the width of the door. Determine the height of the door. Figure out the thickness of the door. Measure the height and width of the framed door space.

Remove the cap. Use a utility knife to cut off the top of the bottle slightly below where the neck straightens. To cut an even line, wrap a piece of masking tape around the bottle to mark where you'll cut. Hold the bottle top so the capless end is facing downward. Insert this into the bottle bottom. Hold the bottle top in place at the top of the bottle bottom with your fingers. Staple the top to the bottom on four opposing sides.  If you don't have a stapler, tape the seam between the inverted bottle top and the bottle bottom instead.  If you want to reuse your traps, fasten the bottle top and bottom with clothespins. You only need to unfasten the clothespins to clean, empty, and refill your 2-liter bottle trap. Drill two holes an inch (2.5 cm) below the top of the trap, with each hole on opposite sides of the bottle. Use a drill bit large enough to allow your cord to pass through. Feed one end apiece of a length of cord into the two holes holes. Knot the ends of the cord and it's ready to hang. Pour honey or sugar water directly into the bottom of the trap. You don't need much; a thin layer will be enough to attract bees. Bees will be attracted to the sweetness and won't be able to escape, eventually dying in the trap. Save the lives of bees by only using honey or sugar water. When you see a bee trapped inside, take it away from your home and carefully release it. To ensure bees that enter your trap don't make it out alive, add a tablespoon (15 ml) of liquid laundry soap to your bait. Distribute the soap throughout the bait by stirring it with a utensil. The soap will poison and kill all bees that ingest it. Placing your traps too close to bee access points may actually draw more indoors. Prioritize locations in the sun. Sunlight will make the bait more effective and also cause bees to die in the trap faster. Hanging traps tend to attract bees better than ground traps. Ground traps, however, can be effective guarding window access points. If you've fastened your bottle top and bottom with staples, you'll...

TL;DR in English: Cut away the top third of a clean 2-liter soda bottle. Invert the bottle top to nest it in the bottle bottom. Drill holes and add cord to make a hanging trap. Use honey or sugar water as bait. Poison bees with laundry soap. Position your traps near bee access points. Check traps every two weeks.

Make sure your computer is near a wall cable socket.  Most modem's don't have an On/Off switch. Plugging and unplugging them is how you turn them on and off.  When the DSL modem is turned on, it has to go through a boot up process. You can tell this process is done when most of the lights have turned on and stopped blinking. There's usually one light that will keep blinking. It usually takes about 30-60 seconds for a modem to finish turning on. If you've purchased a new modem, you'll need to call your DSL ISP associate your modem with your ISP account username and password. If you don't know what these are, you'll need to call your ISP to get them. Open a web browser. In the address field, type the modem's IP address. It's often printed on the modem itself. If not, it will be in the modem's manual. Common modem IP addresses are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1. Click here for a list of modem specific IP addresses. Once you've connected to the modem's administrative screen, look for PPPoE. Enter your DSL account username and password into the PPPoE fields. The username is usually an email address. If you don't know your account username and password, contact your DSL ISP. When the setup is complete, save the settings. The internet light on your modem should turn green to indicate that you are online. Open a web browser and go to a website that you haven't been to before. If you go to a website you've been to recently, your browser may load it from its memory. If the website loaded, then you're connected to the internet. If not, complete the rest of the steps. Searching for something using a search engine is a good way to do this.

TL;DR in English: Plug the DSL modem into your computer. Plug the DSL modem into the wall cable socket. Plug in the DSL modem's power cord. Log in to the modem's administrative screen. Enter your DSL account username and password. Save your settings. Test your internet connection.

Sometimes your need for space can be more serious than simply “needing to recharge.” If someone's actions upset you and that is why you want space from them, wait until you’ve cooled off to let them know. You'll be able to articulate better why you need space when you're feeling more level-headed. Especially if the conversation may grow heated, it is a good idea to rehearse the conversation ahead of time.  Make an outline of your most important points. What do you need your friend to know? Once you have your outline, practice speaking in the mirror. You can always bring the outline with you if you think you may forget an important point. No matter how you go about it, the important thing is just to say what you need to say. Preparation is only effective up to a point. After that, you have to take the leap. Don’t over think it and don’t put it off. Just pick up the phone and call. You can always do this in person too, if it is easier for you. Avoid doing this online, however, as your words and intent could get misinterpreted. If you feel that your friend is frequently overwhelming your space or if you don’t feel like your requests for space are being heard, you may need to set some boundaries. Healthy boundaries are the foundation of a healthy friendship.  Explain which behaviors are okay, and which others are not. For example, maybe it is okay for them to email or call, but not okay from them to drop by unannounced. If you want to sever the friendship permanently, it's important to voice it. Don't put it off and give them false hope. Your need for space will not evaporate. When you need space, make sure you get it. Subtle approaches may work sometimes, but sometimes you need to be more direct. In those cases, you may need to assert your need for space more than once. Keep at it! Claiming the space you need is a powerful act of self-love!

TL;DR in English: Wait until you’re not angry. Practice what you are going to say. Just say it. Establish boundaries. Be persistent.

Run a tape measure along your door from the left corner to right corner, and record this number. It is important that you only measure the door. Do not include any other elements, such as weather-stripping.  Particularly with older doors, it is important to measure in more than one location, just in case the door is not perfectly rectangular. If the amounts vary, use the largest figure. Door widths of 30 inches (76 cm), 32 inches (81 cm) and 36 inches (91 cm) are considered "standard." Run your tape measure along your door from the top corner to the bottom corner, and write this number down. You may need to use a chair and/or ask a friend to help you. Once again, measure only the door itself and no other elements, such as a door sweep.  Once again, it is wise to measure in more than one spot on the door, just in case it's not a perfect rectangle. This is especially true for older doors. If the amounts vary, use the largest figure. The most common height for doors is 80 inches (200 cm). Hold a tape measure to the edge of the door and record its thickness. Measure this edge on the door frame (known as the jamb), as well. These numbers should be close to the same, but it can be helpful to know both of them. The most common thickness is 1.75 inches (4.4 cm). Just to be safe, measure the area where your door will go, too. Record the height and width of the door frame space. This will help ensure that you select the exact right replacement door.  Measure the width of the door in 3 locations. Use the smallest figure as your measurement. Measure the height of the door right in the middle. Measure from the floor to the underside of the trim at the top of the door. If you must, it is always better to round down than round up. This helps to ensure that your door will fit.

TL;DR in English:


Avoid making any sudden movements. Wear loose, comfortable clothes. Don't overeat. Avoid any intense physical activity. Keep your legs elevated as much as possible. Drink a sufficient amount of fluids. Have a healthy, balanced diet. Eat some fiber rich foods.

Make sure confessing is the right idea. Take small steps at first. Find the right moment. Don't assume rejection. Be upfront and honest. Be kind to yourself if you get rejected.

If you're stuck on a long shopping trip, you're there with someone else who's doing things that don't interest you. Excuse yourself by telling the other person you're going to have a look around, and agree on a meeting place and time to get back together. Head off and distract yourself any way you can. Even when nothing seems interesting, you can usually find things to look at. Try reading nutrition labels or looking at brand icons in a supermarket, for example.  Don't forget, you can also go outside the building and see what the back lot looks like. Be sure the person you're with hears and understands you when you set a place and time. Ask them to recite it back to you so you know you're both on the same page about the location in particular. If you're young enough, you can usually get away with sitting down in a corner and actually playing with die-cast cars or other small toys inside a store. Don't expect to get away with this if you're a teenager or older, though. Between phones and handheld game consoles like the Nintendo 3DS, there are many games available to play on the go. Prepare ahead of time and bring along an alternate game or two in case you get stuck on one. If you can't find a good place to sit and play your game, check for benches outside the front of the building, or chairs in the back near restrooms and fitting rooms. As with console games at home, don't forget that there are several older handheld systems available for relatively little money, most of which had many fun games made for them. You don't have to buy a top-of-the-line system to have fun.

TL;DR in English: Explore. Play a pocket game.

Try to avoid making sudden movements, particularly during the last two trimesters of your pregnancy. Keeping your movements slow will help you to avoid stretching the round ligaments of your uterus, minimizing the risk of cramps. For example, take your time getting out of bed. Try to wear loose clothing rather than tight clothing. Tight clothes can compress your distended abdomen, which can cause your to start having cramps. Instead, wear light, loose clothing that will keep you comfortable and cramp-free. Be careful with your meals; too much food can cause abdominal cramps to kick in. Instead, try to eat small meals throughout the day, rather than three large meals. This will keep you from eating too much. Try eating three small meals with one snack in between each meal. Try to eat roughly the same amount of food each time you eat. Too much physical activity can lead to contractions of the uterus or stretching of the round ligament, which in turn can cause  cramps. If you do some physical activity and begin to feel cramps, stop immediately. If you think your physical effort may be causing the cramps, call your gynecologist to discuss whether or not you should do any physical activity during your pregnancy. Your legs should be elevated frequently throughout the day to improve circulation. Whenever you sit down, try to elevate your legs to avoid leg cramps. When you are standing, remember to keep moving around so that blood doesn’t pool in your lower extremities. When sleeping, two or three pillows should be placed under your legs to keep them elevated while you sleep. Cramping can also be caused by dehydration. Try to drink liquids throughout the day to avoid becoming dehydrated. You do not have to drink just water; you can try other liquids like sports drinks and coconut water. Sports drinks like Gatorade are packed with electrolytes that can help to control cramps. Avoid caffeinated and carbonated drinks because these contain diuretic properties which can make you dehydrated. Make sure that your diet is...

Visit your local craft supply store or search online to find elastic that comes in different colors and designs. Purchase elastic that is about 2 in (5.1 cm) wide. You will only need enough to wrap around your thigh with 0.5 in (1.3 cm) of overlap, so measure before you go to determine how much you will need. Lay out the strip of elastic with the decorative side facing up. Then, choose an embellishment to add. Dispense a dot of hot glue onto the back of the embellishment and then press it onto the garter where you want it to go.  Add a silk rose to the center of the garter for an elegant touch. Create a row of rhinestones along 1 or both edges of the garter for sparkly finish. Glue on buttons in random spots for a fun, crafty garter.

TL;DR in English: Choose a wide piece of decorative elastic. Glue on rhinestones, silk flowers, or other embellishments.

Keep in mind, you don't always have to confess a crush, especially if confessing will only cause you anxiety. If confessing doesn't feel like a good idea, give yourself a pass and simply don't do it. Think about what you want out of the situation. If you're hoping confessing will lead to a relationship, it's probably a good idea to confess. However, crushes do not have to go anywhere. If you would rather not pursue a relationship with this person for any reason, it may be best to keep your crush to yourself. If you decide not to confess, you can talk over your feelings with a close friend or family member instead. They can help you manage your emotions surrounding the crush so you can cope on your end without having to confess. There is no need to confess all at once, especially if you're feeling nervous. You can work your way up to confessing by taking baby steps. Start by getting a little more flirtatious with your crush to make your feelings more apparent.  For example, ask your crush to hang out one on one. It won't be a date, but it's a chance for you to spend time with them alone. This can help you get more comfortable with them, making confessing easier. Try to pay your crush some compliments. Let them know what you like about them. This can make it easier to eventually tell them you like them romantically. Ideally, you should confess your feelings when you and your crush have some privacy. Once you feel comfortable with the idea of confessing your feelings, invite your crush somewhere like a quiet coffee shop or out for a walk. Then, when you're out together, confess how you feel. You can't know how someone else feels without asking them first. Going into the situation assuming you will be rejected will only make you more nervous. Acknowledge that you do not know how your crush is going to react and try not to imagine possible scenarios. Simply approach the situation from a neutral perspective. Remind yourself that, no matter the outcome, at least you'll know. Having a crush, especially one you've...

TL;DR in English:


Be aware of your emotions. Name what you're feeling. Accept your feelings. Express yourself freely

Also make a list of the things that you like about yourself. Tape the list to your bedroom wall or bathroom mirror. Every morning, read the list to remind yourself of how great you are. If you find yourself thinking that you aren't good enough for college or that no one will want to be friends with you, then reverse these thoughts. Instead, tell yourself, "I am good enough for college," or "Many people would love to be friends with me because I am a great friend." If wearing makeup helps you feel more confident, then wear makeup. If smiling and greeting your classmates makes you feel more confident, then greet them. If joining a club or volunteering helps you feel more confident, then join a club or volunteer. By doing the things that help you feel more confident, you will be more confident. New people and places can make you feel alone and unsure at times. However, understand that you aren't the only one who feels this way. Try to reach out and befriend other classmates, or call your high school friends if you need someone to talk to. If you cannot seem to shake your loneliness, make an appointment with a counselor on campus. A counselor can help you work through hard times.

TL;DR in English: Make a list of your strengths. Reverse negative thoughts. Do the things that make you feel confident. Realize that you are not alone.

Clotted cream thrives on low heat over a long period. Pasteurization is heating food, usually a liquid, to a very high temperature and then immediately cooling it down. The high heat lessens spoilage by preventing microbial growth, but a by-product of this is that the structure of the cream erodes, along with some of the taste. In order to get the tastiest clotted cream, stick with organic, high-fat, less pasteurized cream. The main thing to worry about here is how high up the sides of the pot the cream goes. Try to get it so that the cream comes up at least one inch and no more than three inches on the pot. Cover the pot with its lid and close the oven door. The cream may take as long as 12 hours to fully clot. After 8 hours, the cream will develop a thicker, yellowish skin resting on top of the cream. This is the clotted cream. If you're checking on the cream in the oven, be careful not to puncture the clotted cream on top. Then, place the pan in the refrigerator and refrigerate for another 8 hours, being careful not to disturb the outer skin. Reserve the whey liquid for use in cooking or baking. (Buttermilk pancakes, anyone?) Store for three or four days in the refrigerator.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 180° F (82° C). Get high fat, not ultra-pasteurized cream if at all possible. Pour any amount of cream into a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. Place the cream-filled pot in the pre-heated oven and cook for at least 8 hours. Remove the pan with the clotted cream from the oven and let cool at room temperature. Separate the clotted cream on top from the whey-like liquid below. Enjoy!

When packing your beach essentials for the day, include a wash basin that can fit feet inside of it comfortably. Also take a generous amount of water with you, at least a gallon sized container. If you are traveling to the beach with more people, bring one gallon of water for each person to use for cleansing purposes. The basin should not only be on a flat surface, but also on a surface that is not sandy. The goal is to not have to repeat its use once you’ve washed yourself off. Make sure there is enough water in the basin that feet are completely submerged underneath the water. Use your hands to douse sandy areas of the skin with water.  In the place of your hands, a clean sponge can be used to help with sand removal. Be gentle with your skin as you get the sand off. It’s easy to get abrasions if you rub too hard. If there is still sand left on your feet, you might need to empty the water and start over by refilling the basin with clean water. Wipe off any excess water with a clean towel. Rinse out the basin in between cleanings.

TL;DR in English: Plan and pack ahead. Place the basin on a flat surface. Pour water into the basin. Take your feet out of the water and inspect.

"Not feeling" doesn't mean ignoring your emotions, or repressing them. If you feel negativity, accept it. If you feel love, accept it. Strive to be fully aware and present in the emotions you experience. Your feelings will always be a part of you on some level. Even the Dali Lama gets angry occasionally, and the toughest MMA fighter will occasionally be brought to tears. If your emotions don't rule you, you'll be calm, cool, and collected. You'll be unflappable. It's not "losing" your emotions, it's keeping them far away and under control. The better you can learn to talk about how you're feeling, the less it will rule over your actions, without identifying yourself with it.  As you feel a particular emotion coming on, name it: "I feel anger happening," or "There's anger here." It might sound weird, but it helps you put the emotion somewhere else. Don't identify with your feelings. Don't say, "I am angry." How you feel doesn't define you as a person. You're not the sum of the things you feel. You're bigger than your feelings. Sometimes, you can't control your feelings. They're not things that we choose, and they're not things that we have much control over. If you're feeling scared of horror films, you're scared of horror films. If you're feeling sad about your break-up with an ex, you're sad about your break-up. Imagine you could "watch" your suffering happen, as if it were happening to another person. Distance it, away from your conception of yourself. Put your suffering just over there. . When you learn to accept your feelings, you can learn to loosen yourself up. Express yourself as freely as possible. Think of it less as "feeling" or "not feeling," and more as staying unattached to those feelings that you experience. Feel your feelings come into your mind and send them back out of your mind as easily as they arrived. Work on thinking less about how you feel and more in just feeling it in the moment and letting it go. If something makes you mad, don't bury it under the surface. Say, "That just made me...

Disable the button if your clock has the capability. Habitually hitting snooze will create a habit that can be very difficult to break. Set your alarm somewhere across the room, out of your immediate reach, so that you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. Even if you don’t feel like it, give it a try. Leap out of bed enthusiastically and spread your arms wide as if to say, “I am so ready for today! Bring it on!” It sounds silly, but it really does work (even if it just makes you giggle). When we wake up in the morning, we experience a feeling of brain sluggishness before our brains return to full functionality. During sleep we breathe very slowly, resulting in a lower amount of oxygen hitting our system than what our fully awake bodies are used to running on. Getting our brains back up to full speed depends on the time it takes for the body to inhale enough oxygen to get all of our processes going. Taking some big, deep breaths will get oxygen flowing faster, allowing your brain to fully wake up and reboot before you fall back asleep! Whether you throw open your curtains to let the sunlight in or turn on artificial indoor lighting, bright lights will instantly make you feel more awake. Doing this consistently can also help you to reset your internal clock to accept your new earlier wake up time. When you wake up, you are dehydrated from not drinking any water all night long. Dehydration can make you feel very tired. As soon as you wake up, drink a tall glass of water. You’ll rehydrate your body and feel instantly more awake. When we are trying to establish a new habit, rewarding successes along the way can really help make that habit stick. Every time you successfully wake up early, reward yourself! It doesn’t have to be a big deal, but do choose something that is genuinely rewarding to you, whether that’s coffee, your favorite breakfast, or putting on your favorite music.

TL;DR in English: Avoid hitting the snooze button. Jump out of bed – literally! Take strong deep breaths immediately upon waking. Expose yourself to bright light immediately. Drink a large glass of water. Reward yourself.

The total is referred to as the Actual Cost (AC) or Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP). This figure will be useful later when calculating earned value measurements. Imagine that, at this point, the security company is a week and one day into their government contract project. At this point, the company has recorded $1600 in expenses for this project (including the half of the government fee recorded as an expense for the first task, even though it hasn't been paid yet). This is the actual cost. Planned value is essentially the budgeted cost of the project to the project status date (the date at which you are calculating earned value). It is also known as total Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS). In the example, the planned value of the project is the budgeted cost of the two tasks at this point, so $750 for the completed task 1 (completed in the first week) and one-fifth of task 2 (as we are one day into the five day duration of task 2). This means that task 2 has a planned value of $350 (1/5 * $1750) and the total planned value is $750 + $350, or $1,100. Identify tasks that have been started, but not yet completed. Estimate the percent completed for each of these tasks. Tasks that have already been completed will be recorded as 100% complete. Imagine that task one was completed ahead of schedule in four days and task 2 was started at the end of of week 1 instead of the scheduled week 2 start. You estimate that task 2 is 40% complete. Multiply the planned value of each task by the percentage completed.The total is the Earned Value (EV) or Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP). Multiply task 1's completion percentage of 100% by its planned value of $750 to get an earned value of $750. Then, multiply task 2's completion percentage of 40% by it's planned value of $1750 to get an earned value of $700. Total these to get an earned value of $750 + $700, or $1,450.

TL;DR in English: Determine the actual costs accrued on the project up through the project status date. Calculate planned value. Figure out the project percent completion. Calculate earned value.

Confidence, like many things, is a skill that can be learned. Even if you don't start off feeling confident, the more you practice, the better you'll get and the happier you'll feel. Think positively about your life. When faced with an obstacle, tell yourself that you can overcome it.  Even if you’re not feeling confident, try acting confident with body language. Stand up straight while you're walking or sitting. Avoid standing with your arms crossed. Instead, put your hands on your hips. Just smiling, even if you force it, can help you feel instantly happier and more confident, as your brain releases endorphins.   Stop negative thinking. Every time you start having negative thoughts about yourself, stop yourself and re-frame the thought into a positive or neutral one. For example, if you find yourself thinking "I am so worthless,” think instead, “I am really valuable to myself and others.” Never stop educating yourself throughout your life. It will keep your brain sharp, lower your risk for diseases like Alzheimer's, and give you interesting things to discuss with other people. Start with subjects that are interesting to you, such as video game design or historical costuming.  Educate yourself about what is happening in the world: advances in science, medicine, politics, art, and current events. This keeps you in touch with what is going on. Try to learn a new skill, such as knitting, speaking a foreign language, or understanding astrophysics. Reading books and articles, watching the news and documentaries, or doing online tutorials are all great ways to keep learning. No matter how successful you are, no matter how healthy you are, no matter what you do or don't do, you're going to make mistakes and experience failure. Sometimes these incidents will be your fault, sometimes they won't. It's how you respond to them that will determine your ability to be successful at life.  Your attitude toward life shapes how you experience things. Let go of your expectations and accept life as it is. This will empower you...

TL;DR in English: Practice thinking  confident thoughts. Encourage yourself to keep learning. Learn from your mistakes. Step outside of your comfort zone. Use your passion and interests to find a fulfilling vocation. Express gratitude on a daily basis. Practice mindfulness Accept the consequences of your actions.

You may be bloating because of an enzyme deficiency. If you cannot avoid foods that cause bloating or don't want to, you can take digestive enzymes to help your body digest foods better. This is most helpful bloating is caused by improper digestion, overeating, and lactose intolerance. Look for products with some of each of the following:  Proteases, which break down proteins Lipases, which break down fats Carbohydrates (such as amylase), which break down carbohydrates Lactase, which breaks down the sugar (lactose) in dairy products Individual digestive enzymes, such as papain and bromelain If you are not sure which enzyme you are deficient in, buy a combination of enzymes or ask your doctor. Look for a Seal of Approval from either the Natural Products Association (NPA) or the US Pharmacopoiea (USP). Constipation is a common cause of bloating. If you suffer from temporary or occasional constipation, you can take fiber supplements. However, this often causes gas, so take the supplement in smaller doses throughout the day and drink plenty of water with them to reduce the chance of gas. Probiotics are also good for constipation because they help replenish gut bacteria. Watch out for increased bloating during the first few weeks. There are many over the counter remedies that can help you relieve bloating. Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the label of these medications. These medications include:  Beano, which can help your body digest the sugars in beans and vegetables that make you feel gassy Lactaid and Dairy Ease, which are used for bloating from any intolerance to lactose Pepto Bismol, which can be used to ease digestion related gas and bloating Products containing simethicone, such as Gas-X and Mylanta, can help relieve your gas, which will help the bloating subside. You can also try activated charcoal to help with gas. Trapped air or gas can cause bloating. Although it may be strange to do, do not hold back any sort of gas release, including passing gas or belching. Holding them in can...

Do not fill the mortar more than 1/4 full. If it's too full, then you won't be able to fully grind it. Use the pestle to thoroughly grind the blades until they begin to stick together and smear along the bottom of the mortar. Apply the pestle using a stirring motion, and press with enough force to crush the grass. This will take a few minutes, and more than a bit of effort, so be prepared. Equal parts water should be sufficient for this method. Mash the water into the crushed wheatgrass using the same forceful stirring motion as described above. Continue mixing until a fine paste forms. The water will help you sufficiently grind down the blades of grass. Twist the top of the cloth to prevent the paste from escaping, but do not tie it. This will allow you to extract the juice from the wheatgrass. Apply pressure to the cloth directly above the clump of wheatgrass paste, squeezing in a downward motion. A bright green liquid should drip out. Continue squeezing until no further liquid drains. Repeat the grinding process until the blades turn white, adding a little extra water each time to create a paste of the same consistency. Continue until your full 1/2 cup (113 grams) has been used. This process does take a while, (at least 10-15 minutes for 1/2 a cup), but it'll be worth it. It's much better than paying $300-$400 for a fancy wheatgrass juicer.

TL;DR in English: Place enough chopped wheatgrass into the mortar to fill the bottom. Grind the blades. Add a little water. Empty the contents of the mortar into a clean muslin cloth. Press on the cloth to drain the wheatgrass juice out into a clean glass. Return the wheatgrass clump to the mortar. After your initial batch of wheatgrass turns white, add fresh chopped wheatgrass to the mortar and begin the grinding process again.

It should get direct sunlight in the morning and be shaded in the afternoon. Although they prefer bright sunlight, it's best to keep them out of intense light, especially in hot climates. Move them outside only when all risks of spring frosts are gone. Spade the soil to a depth of 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) and add a layer of organic matter like manure or compost. Leave a space of 18–24 inches (46–61 cm) between each plant if you have multiple. Make sure that the crown of the plant (or where the stem meets the roots) is just above ground level so that your gerbera doesn't suffocate. You can also water when the top of the soil and the crown (the place where the stem meets the roots) of the plant are dry. Do this only in the morning so that the leaves get a chance to dry during the day to reduce problems with fungal diseases and rot. It's recommended to water deeply with a soaker hose or a regular hose with a light trickle. That way, you can avoid getting the leaves wet at all. Make sure to thoroughly soak the roots of your gerbera. This will promote growth and add extra nutrients. Use a balanced general-purpose garden fertilizer. You may also apply a time-release fertilizer every 2-6 weeks.   A high-quality micronutrient-rich liquid fertilizer is also recommended. Gerberas often need extra iron or magnesium to continually bloom. Try to find a fertilizer that contains at least one of these minerals. Leave some space between the material and the plant's crown. This will boost the plant's growth and encourage flowering. Remove wilted blooms by pinching or cutting off the stem just below the flower. Repeat with all the fading flowers to help your gerbera maintain it's attractiveness and channel energy into the second set of luscious blossoms.  If you'd like to keep flowers in a vase, cut them off when they're still fresh and keep them in water. They should last for several days. Start doing this early, such as around late spring, and repeat the process every couple of days to keep your plant in the best shape...

TL;DR in English: Pick the right spot for your gerbera. Plant your gerbera correctly. Water your plant if there is no rain for about a week. Fertilize your plant monthly during the growing season. Add 2-3 inches of natural mulch or compost around the gerbera during spring. Deadhead your outdoor daisy using the same method as an indoor plant. Dig up and replant your gerbera daisy in the fall once every two years.

You can make a powerful and environmentally friendly cleaning solvent when you mix orange oil with Castile soap. Simply add a teaspoon of orange oil extract to a bottle of Castile soap and you have a great all-purpose cleaner. Because Castile soap is made from plant oils, instead of chemical detergent, it is safe on sensitive skin and biodegradable. Limonene is a natural grease-cutter and solvent. It is particularly effective at cleaning pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils. Insects hate limonene, and a small dab of orange oil can keep them off of you for hours. Simply dab some around your neck, arms and other exposed areas, and you will notice a decrease in bug bites. You can also place a little limonene oil around the campsite to ward off bugs. Avoid having limonene around an open flame. It is extremely flammable. In fact, it is so flammable that orange peels make great kindling. A drop or two of orange oil can easily mask bad smells. Try rubbing a little orange oil inside of a particularly stinky trash can. In fact, a number of commercial deodorizers contain limonene as a cleaning and deodorizing agent. You can make your own deodorizer by combining thirty drops of orange oil with two cups of baking powder. The essential oil found in oranges is thought to help with multiple types of cancer. Doctors have also used limonene to break up gallstones, and there is some evidence that it can lower cholesterol levels. However, orange oil or any supplement containing limonene is no substitute for proper medical treatment. Be sure to consult with your doctor before taking a limonene supplement or ingesting orange oil.

As with everything else in life, you get better at forex trading with practice. Fortunately, almost all of the major trading platforms offer a so-called practice platform that you can use to trade currency without spending any of your hard-earned money. Take advantage of that platform so that you don't burn cash while you're on a learning curve. When you make mistakes during your practice trading sessions (and you will), it's important that you learn from those mistakes so that you avoid making them again in the future. Practice trading won't do you any good if you're not benefiting from the experience. When you've completed your practice trading and have determined that you're ready for the real world, it's a good idea to start small. If you risk a significant amount of money on your first trade, you might find that fear of loss kicks in and your emotions take over. You might forget what you've learned in your practice trading and react impulsively. That's why it's best to invest small amounts at first and then increase the size of your positions over time. Record your successful and unsuccessful trades in a journal that you can review later. That way, you'll remember the lessons of the past. Arbitrage opportunities pop up and disappear many times every day so it's up to you as a trader to locate them and make your move. Looking for these opportunities manually is almost impossible; by the time you've calculated whether or not arbitrage exists, the moment is over. Luckily, many online trading platforms and other websites offer arbitrage calculators that can help you locate opportunities quickly enough to take advantage of them. Search online to find these tools. If you want to be a successful forex trader, you're going to need an understanding of basic economics. That's because macroeconomic conditions within a country will affect the value of that country's currency. Pay particular attention to economic indicators like the unemployment rate, inflation rate, gross domestic product, and the money supply. Even...

TL;DR in English: Use a practice account. Start small. Keep a journal. Look for and take advantage of arbitrage opportunities. Become an economist. Remember the "all other things being equal" mantra. Learn to read charts like a pro.

You can add to this bank by telling him or her loving things or by doing loving things. You want to make your partner feel rich in love. There is no one way to make your partner feel loved- it takes persistent work and listening to him or her to make your partner feel really loved. However, being aware of this imaginary balance might help you remember that you need to do things to show him or her your love.  Do not hold the things you do for your partner over his or her head, and give to this account without expecting a return. Check your motivations when you are doing things for your partner. Do things because you want to do them and not because you want something from your partner. This act of love can mean a lot to your partner. When you see his or her family, ask your partner’s family questions about your partner, find common ground you share, and try to laugh with them. Even if your partner doesn’t have a great relationship with his or her family, you should still try to have a good relationship with them. Whomever the important people are in your partner’s life, get to know those people. Doing something sweet for your partner doesn’t have to take very much effort on your end but will make your partner feel really loved and can do a lot for your relationship. For example, you can go out and get them their favorite tea or coffee in the morning unexpectedly, and buy a sweet treat they like to go with it. Or you can put a sweet note for your partner in his or her purse or bag. Also, some partners really like it when they get something romantic even if it is cheesy. For example, a bouquet of his or her favorite flowers or a box of their favorite sweets will make his or her day. You can get your partner something that benefits everyone. For example, maybe your partner is really craving chips and salsa from a certain Mexican restaurant. Go to that restaurant and pick up chips and salsa and surprise your partner with them at lunch with the family. Schedule regular times in your schedule to devote to doing...

Simply block out the visuals of the movie when you anticipate a scary part coming. You can simply close your eyes or cover them with your hand, hat, hood, or a blanket.  If you want to be subtle, try feigning a slow blink, for which you just close your eyes for a few seconds at a time. You can also block your eyes with a low hood or hat to appear like you’re still watching when you’re really not.  Pay attention to the cues that the movie gives you to indicate that a big scare, called a jump scare, is coming. Listen for ominous music or look for when a protagonist is alone or in the dark, seemingly safe for the moment. Block out the sound of the soundtrack to make the visuals of the movie a little less scary. Often the music is what makes a scary scene more of a dramatic surprise.  Plug your ears with your fingers at the moment you anticipate a scary part. Remember to listen for the music starting to get creepy, but you can block out the sound once you anticipate it starting to build to a big scare. If you don’t want those around you to know that you’re blocking the sound out, try wearing earbud headphones or earplugs throughout the movie. You can hide them with your hair, a hat, or a hood. Just remember that this can block all the sound around you, and you may not hear your friends if they try to talk to you. Tell your friends or family a simple excuse to leave the room or theater when you anticipate a scary part coming up. Get up to use the bathroom or get a snack, for example.  Make sure you don’t use the same excuse too many times during the movie, or be gone for too long at a time. Actually bring back a snack if you say you’re going to get one; do your best to make it realistic. You can even look up online databases that tell you at what point in the movie a jump scare will come, so you know exactly when to make your exit. Have a snack, drink, or chew gum to keep yourself occupied and keep your jaw relaxed. Play with something small in your hands to keep them occupied as well.  You can try squeezing a...

TL;DR in English: Close your eyes during scary parts. Cover your ears to block out the soundtrack. Make an exit when you can. Eat something or have something to distract yourself with.

The last thing you want is to add to your friend’s negativity by being too critical or hostile. If you would like to tell your friend that you think he is seeing a situation more negatively than necessary, think about the best way to say this. Use "I"-statements rather than "you"-statements. For example, “Quit being so negative” is going to have less of a positive effect than “I feel like there’s more to the situation than you’re seeing.” "I"-statements sound less judgmental, which can make the other person more open to hearing what you have to say. What you say isn’t the only important factor. Tone and nonverbal cues are just as important. Yelling or throwing your hands up in defeat are going to increase negativity in the room rather than work to fight the fire effectively.  Gentle eye contact and nodding along to what your friend is saying, if you agree, are great ways to create a positive interaction. Maintain an even tone of voice. Staying calm when your friend blows up may help her realize that there's more than one way to respond to a problem. Research shows that speaking slowly causes people to perceive you as “more caring and sympathetic.” In order to communicate with a negative friend in a way that promotes positivity and keeps you from falling into the same negativity, pay attention to how fast you are speaking. You want to be compassionate and positive in your approach, but that’s not the same thing as allowing yourself to be stepped on. Sometimes a negative friend may try to override your opinions. Maintain a firm stance when it comes to your freedom to express yourself and have a differing point of view. Assertiveness is about meeting the needs of everyone involved, not just one person.  Clearly express your desires, wants, and needs. Use direct language that can’t be contradicted. For example, say “The way that you’re acting right now makes me uncomfortable. I’m going to leave, but we can talk later if you want.” Include empathy. For example, “I understand that you want to keep talking about...

TL;DR in English: Think about your words. Be careful about delivery. Watch your pace. Assert yourself. Change the direction of the conversation.

If your hair is shorter than your shoulder you will definitely need to add length to your hair to create this hairstyle. Even if your hair is past your shoulders, you still might want to make your hair longer to truly achieve Elsa’s look. You can make your hair as long as Elsa’s by adding hair extensions to your hair.  Choose your quality. Hair extensions come in a variety of qualities. You can get human hair or synthetic hair extensions. Human hair extensions can be cut and styled how you want and last a long time, but are more expensive than synthetic hair. Synthetic hair can be worn with little or no styling. It does not last as long as human hair, but is less expensive.   Choose your method. There are many ways to apply hair extensions and they come in a range of quality and price. There are clip-in, glue-in, and tape-in extensions. These are simple to apply, are inexpensive, and come out easily. Sew-in extensions, also known as a weave, take longer to apply and last longer. There are also cold fusion and hot fusion extensions. These methods are pricier but they last much longer than other methods.   Apply the extensions. Depending on your price range, skill, and method of choice you can either apply extensions yourself or have it done professionally. An alternative to extensions is getting a wig. You can get a wig in any color you want but if you really want to look like Elsa get a light blonde wig.

TL;DR in English: Check the length of your hair. Add extensions. Get a wig.

The clinical portion of your studies is your opportunity to use the information you learned in class in real-life application. When in clinicals, pay attention to each demonstration, and ask questions as they come to you. Be active in discussions to show your commitment and desire to learn.  For example, watch closely as your professor figures out which vein to draw blood from. If you want suggestions about which vein to choose, ask your instructor. If you can’t see the demonstration completely, move to a position where you can. Volunteering during clinical is a great way to develop your nursing abilities since you apply your knowledge in real-time scenarios. You may be scared or cautious at first, but gather some courage and go for it! Use as many opportunities as you can to practice the nursing techniques instructed in class and in the lab. For example, your professor may ask for someone to demonstrate taking a patient’s temperature. Raise your hand so you can show the class your understanding of this basic nursing skill. If you want extra time developing your skills, visit the lab after your scheduled clinical time to get more hands-on feedback from your professors. You can ask your instructors questions, get more practice time, and interact with patients. This is a great idea if you are still confused about class material or want extra help before a big exam. This often demonstrates your passion and dedication to your professors and patients alike.

Find a bucket or tub large enough to put your feet in, and fill it with warm water. Add 1/4 cup of baking soda at a time until the bath remains cloudy, stirring after each addition.  Baking soda is known to exhibit anti-microbial activity, preventing the formation of smelly compounds associated with foot odor.  Add some freshly squeezed lemon juice for a nice citrus smell. Soaking them for at least 15 minutes daily will help to reduce the odor that your feet produce. For added benefit, scrub them with a washcloth towards the end of your 15-minute soak. The baking soda helps kill bacteria on your feet while also softening your feet to make dead skin more easily removable. Avoid putting on socks and/or shoes for 10-15 minutes after to ensure your feet are fully dry. Reducing the amount of moisture in your socks and shoes will help keep away the bad odors. If you're soaking for too long each sitting, or soaking too often, you may notice extremely wrinkled or sensitive feet. Decrease the length of your soaks or the frequency if you notice anything strange.

TL;DR in English: Make a foot bath with water and baking soda. Soak your feet in the bath. Towel dry your feet. Look out for signs that you're soaking too much.

People are most persuadable immediately after thanking you. You are at your most persuasive after being thanked, so the perfect time to ask for a favor? Just after someone's thanked you for something. To increase your chances of getting what you want, try starting the task off for them. People are more likely to be compliant if they've seen you've already put in a little bit of work. Let's say your partner says, "Thanks for making dinner, honey. It was great." You reply with, "You're welcome. I've just started the dishes – can you finish?" There are three basic types of incentives you should have in your arsenal. If you know your audience, you'll know which will be the most effective:   Economic. Let the person know that they may lose out on a great money-making opportunity, or that they could gain money by complying with your wishes.  Moral. Let the person know that by helping you out, they'll somehow be bettering the world around them. If they think they're a good person, how could they not?  Social. Let them know that "everyone else is doing it, too." It's doubly effective if you can name off a few of their friends. Do you know all those people in the mall who try to hand you samples of lotion whether you're avoiding them like the plague or not? That's not just to get you to try their product and fall in love with it – that's to make you feel a little guilty so you end up buying something. You can do this, too, just be a bit more sly about it than they are! Say your son or daughter is raising money for some school function. You've promised you would get some funds from your colleagues. A few hours before you approach Marie with your proposal, you drop off some of your daughter's homemade cookies at her desk. After that, you're a shoo-in. Implanting an idea in someone's head is one of the hardest things to do when it comes to persuasion, but it is also one of the most effective. Instead of outright saying what you want, you just dance around it for a while. In time, with the right dance, they'll come up...

TL;DR in English: Get the right timing. Give them an incentive. Give them something first. Let them think they came up with the idea. Pay attention to what they want.

There is a reason why people say breakfast is the most important meal of the day: your body fasted all night and reduces hunger throughout the day. Reports show that skipping breakfast leads to more snack breaks in the afternoon.  Nighttime eating syndrome (NES), a disorder associated with overnight eating and waking at night to eat, is clinically recognized as an eating disorder. Eating breakfast every day reduces the chance of experiencing this disorder.  Studies also show that skipping breakfast leads to weight gain, hypertension, insulin resistance, and elevated fasting lipid concentrations. Skipping meals has the same impact as skipping breakfast. Although people believe skipping a meal will help with weight loss, the exact opposite is true. It will lead to more snacking and greater weight gain. There's nothing wrong with an afternoon snack, just make sure it is a fruit, vegetable, or lean protein like chicken breast or fish. These healthy snacks will control hunger until dinner and they have added value: vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that is good for your body.  Avoid sugary products and drinks because they will not satisfy your hunger and you will most likely continue snacking throughout the day. If you want fat, eat healthy fats that will decrease the consumption of sugars and avoid overeating in the late afternoon. Mindful eating techniques are used to prevent overeating. The way it works is to concentrate on every step of eating one piece of food, which makes you conscious of portion size and slows down the race to finish your meal.  The purpose of mindful eating is to not engage in other activities like watching television or playing on the computer while you are eating. These distractions interfere with your ability to realize how much you are eating. An example would be eating a raisin or other dried fruit that you can hold, feel its texture, see its color, smell, and taste it. As you eat the raisin, follow the same procedure as you swallow it. By eating the raisin, you have experienced...

TL;DR in English: Eat breakfast every day. Snack on healthy foods. Eat mindfully. Match nutrition to your physiology.

Typically, you'll need employees who can work for you full-time, not as a part-time job. That means, you'll need to recruit people who are looking to transition out of these careers and into a new, possibly less stressful career. Most states require that security guards have a certain amount of state-approved training, along with extra training if you want to arm them. Then, they must pass an exam and gain a security officer license.  Most states also require that drivers have a private patrol operator license. Check the age requirements for your state, as some require that body guards be over 21 or 25.  Part of this process will also include running a background check on your potential employees. As personal body guards, your employees' job will typically be to melt into the background. That is, no one wants to feel like they're being watched all the time, even when they're paying someone to do it, so a personal security guard has to be there without making themselves stand out. For instance, work on training your employees to be silent unless spoken to, as that helps them blend into the background. People looking to hire a personal security guard will want to see a professional, well-put together website. If you don't have the skills to do it, it's best to hire someone who can make it look clean and professional. While you can also establish a social media presence, make sure to keep all your interactions professional and discreet. Most likely, your main clients will be the affluent and local celebrities. Purchase space in the country club's newsletter, for instance, or on high-end real estate websites. Hit other avenues, as well, such as your local newspaper and news stations. Of course, word-of-mouth is even better, so once you establish some clients, make sure to treat them to the best service. Then they will recommend you to their friends and family. While affluent people and celebrities may want long-term body guards, some affluent people may just want body guards for short-term projects. If you can...
