A stable, relatively heavy stand that won't move much on launch will get you the farthest distance. Here's one easy way to make one if you don't need your matchbox anymore:  Empty your matchbox and fill one half with pebbles or other dense objects. Punch a hole in the lid of the matchbox, near one end Stick the paper clip currently in the rocket into this hole. Slide the lid until you get the desired launch angle. If the paper clip falls over, tape it onto the matchbox base or weight it down. If the foil is wrapped too tightly around the paper clip, the rocket might cling and fail to launch. Rotate the rocket and wiggle it slightly until you're satisfied it's slightly loose. If this is very tight, the rocket could explode. The smoking rocket tip will be hot enough to leave scorch marks on carpet and furniture. Find a concrete surface outdoors with at least 40 feet (12m) of space. Keep the rocket pointed away from people, animals, or another person's property. The rocket tip will keep smoldering for some time, and could cause a fire if it lands in brush. Always pick it up after launch, but wear gloves. It will be hot enough to burn skin.

TL;DR in English: Make a stable stand. Loosen the rocket around the paper clip. Move to an outdoor location. Retrieve the smoldering rocket with gloves.

You are much more likely to commit to reading when it is an enjoyable and engaging experience. If you are bored while reading, you are more likely to put the book down and engage in a different activity.  Find books related to your hobbies, career goals, or a topic that piques your curiosity. There are books that cover every topic imaginable, and the availability of local libraries, bookstores, and the Internet means that all of them are at your fingertips. Don't limit yourself to just monographs. Comic books and graphic novels are a great way to get children and young adults hooked on reading. Collections of short stories are a good option for those who don't want to commit to reading a longer work. Read magazines that cover your areas of interest. Whether your interests are in motorcycle maintenance, gardening, bird watching, or 19th-century architecture, there is a magazine that caters to you. Many of these contain lengthy, well-sourced articles. The more you associate reading with comfort and relaxation the more likely you are to continue developing your reading skills. Reading can become a treat, rather than a chore.  Find a quiet place to read so that you aren’t disturbed. Avoid distractions like TV or the radio, or other people prone to disturbing you. Make sure it is somewhere with good lighting where you can relax. Hold the book about 15 inches away from your face (approximately the distance from your elbow to your wrist). Make a cozy and fun reading area. A nicely lit corner with comfortable pillows creates a great ambiance for reading. If you are helping someone read, stay positive! Negative feedback will only discourage a fledgling reader, so keep the environment upbeat. Reading doesn't have to be a solitary pursuit, and can be even more enjoyable when shared with others.  Start a book club with friends. Making reading a social experience can inspire you to continue to improve. Friends can also provide encouragement for each other. Start an online blog reviewing the latest books you have read....

TL;DR in English: Read materials that interest you. Create a pleasant reading environment. Make reading a social experience. Make reading a family affair.

Hormonal therapy works by interrupting the signals in your hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal circuit, which links your brain to your ovaries. By interrupting this circuit, the therapy can be used to stop ovulation and stabilize your hormonal ups and downs. This will allow your menstrual cycle to get back on track. Oral contraceptives regulate and stabilize reproductive hormones. Commonly prescribed oral contraceptives, such as those that work well in relieving PMDD symptoms, are pills with combinations of ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone.  Studies have shown that these types of pills offer relief for the physical and psychological symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and also regulate the menstrual cycle.  Oral contraceptives are composed of a set of pills that should be taken for the whole month. There are two types of pills found in each set: the pills that contain the hormones and the placebo pills that should be taken during the days of your period. Oral contraceptives come in packets of 21, 28 or 91 tablets. These tablets should be taken by mouth. Take your oral contraceptives at the same time every day.  Be sure to follow your doctor’s specific instructions about when and how to take them.  If one type of oral contraceptive does not make your cycle regular, talk to your doctor about trying another brand of oral contraceptive. There are a number of types, and brands, of oral contraceptives. Some are triphasic pills — which include both progestin and estrogen in varying levels — while others are monophasic which are pills that have the same amount of hormone dose in each pill. In addition, there are mini-pills that are progesterone only. All oral contraceptives are not created equal. Some have estrogen while others have progesterone. These two hormones may affect your body differently. Talk to your doctor to find which one is right for you. Birth control pills are not your only option to treat irregular menses with hormones. You can also use a vaginal ring, birth control patch, Depo-Provera,...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor about hormonal therapy. Talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for oral contraceptives. Pick your pack of contraceptives. Know all your options for hormonal birth control.

You wouldn’t show up to a job interview wearing slippers and pajamas so don’t practice fighting when you’re not prepared. Putting on your gym shorts and tightly lacing your running shoes will help you get in the mood. It also ensures proper movement when practicing. Make sure you don’t have a heavy meal or an empty stomach before practice, either. Have a healthy light snack beforehand to ensure you can be held over till you post-workout snack, without being lethargic from your cheeseburger and fries. Don’t forget to stay hydrated, either.

Both you and your dog are the most safe when your dog is securely crated in the back seat of your car. If your dog is freely roaming there are chances of them obstructing your driving and increasing their risk of injury.  If your dog isn't crate trained, use a harness and dog safety-belt to secure it in the vehicle instead. Dogs should never travel in the beds of pickup trucks. Not only will they be directly exposed to the elements, they may also suffer fatal injuries should you get into an accident. Keeping your dog in a truck bed is also illegal in some areas. Feeding your dog hours before you begin traveling will help prevent motion sickness. Provide small snacks that are high in protein during rest stops to keep your dog satisfied.  Feed your dog small portions of their regular food or small treats whenever you take a break from driving. If your dog is prone to car sickness consult your vet for remedies. Stopping frequently to let your dog stretch their legs and relieve themselves will help keep them happy, comfortable, and relaxed throughout the entire trip. Try and find dog-friendly locations to make stops at. Even if the windows are cracked cars can quickly become too hot and dehydrate your dog. In order to avoid a conflict try finding a dog-friendly stop along your route.  Enlist the help of a friend if you must leave your dog. Remember, dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just 15 minutes.

TL;DR in English: Keep your dog crated in the back seat. Feed your dog a few hours before travel and provide snacks at rest stops. Stop frequently for exercise and bathroom breaks. Never leave your dog unattended in your car.

Put the cartomizer between your lips. Hold down the button or switch for a moment. Proceed to vape as desired. You don't have to inhale as forcefully with a cartomizer as you would with a traditional cigarette. When your juice runs low, you will need to refill. Keep in mind that when your tips need more E-Liquid after the initial fill, each cartomizer can be refilled with an estimated 10-15 drops as needed. Most will only last 1-2 weeks, so purchasing a cartomizer will be a constant expense. With your new cartomizer, follow the instructions for filling, and enjoy!

TL;DR in English: Use the cartomizer. Refill your cartomizer. Replace the cartomizer.

Acrylic paint can be found in a range of colors, including metallic and glittery shades, and it can be found at an arts and crafts store. It can be applied to many surfaces and it adheres well to faux leather. Acrylic paint does not fade as easily as other paints. It is also flexible, making it is less likely to crack over time. Leather paint is an acrylic-based paint that can be found at your local arts and crafts store. It comes in a wide variety of colors and is specifically formulated to adhere to both real leather and artificial leather. Leather paint is slightly more expensive than acrylic paint and can cost between $2 and $8 for a small bottle. Although it is more expensive, it is less likely to chip or fade over time. Chalk-based paint can add a shabby chic, distressed look to an accessory or a piece of furniture. It adheres to many different surfaces and fabrics, making it a great choice for painting faux leather. Many brands have created variations of chalky paint which can be found at an arts and crafts store or a home improvement shop.

TL;DR in English: Use acrylic paints. Choose a leather paint. Select chalk-based paint.

Rather than doing a ton of crunches and push-ups, cardiovascular exercise is the best thing you can do to burn calories and eliminate belly fat.  However, rather than slogging at a steady pace on the treadmill, you should try to do interval training. Interval training involves integrating short bursts of high-intensity exercise into your daily workout. Try sprinting for 30 second intervals throughout your run, or set the elliptical, treadmill or exercise to interval mode in the gym. To trim belly fat, aim to do 30 minutes of high intensity cardio exercise at least four times per week. Aside from the time you spend working out in the gym, it's a good idea to incorporate more activity into your everyday life - this way you can burn more calories without too much effort.  Make some simple changes, such as taking the stairs or biking to work a couple of days a week. If you work a desk job, consider switching to a standing desk. Simply by standing instead of sitting for a couple of hours a day you will burn more calories. Take this as an opportunity to do some spring cleaning, to paint the house or fix up the garden - having a project to work on will help you to increase your activity levels without even realizing it! Also try to do active things purely for enjoyment - play soccer with your kids after school, take up a dance class, or spend a fun day at the beach. It's an excellent idea to incorporate some strength training into your weekly workouts. Strength training includes things like squats, deadlifts, bicep curls and leg presses.  Although these exercises don't burn as many calories as cardio, they will benefit you in the long run. They will help you to build strength and muscle, which speeds up your metabolism and helps you to burn fat more easily, even at rest. Exercises like squats and deadlifts will also help you to build muscle around your core and keep your waistline trim. However, it's very important to have the correct form while performing these exercises, so if you've never done them before...

In the late summer, when it's time to harvest the hops, examine the cones on the bines to see if they are mature. Hop cones are ripe when they're dry, papery, aromatic, springy, and filled with yellow lupulin powder. Test one by cracking it open to see if it is ripe.  Hop cones that are heavy and green aren't ready yet. Be patient; your hops might not ripen until early fall. First year plants may not yield a lot; they hit their peak during the second year.  Harvesting times may vary by regional climate. Until you're ready to use them, hops should be stored in airtight food storage bags in the refrigerator. If you won't be using them for awhile, you can freeze them. Properly stored hops will stay fresh for about a year.

TL;DR in English: Examine the cones for ripeness in late summer. Store the hops in zip close baggies in your fridge.

If you are trying to explore an idea through multiple narrators, but want to show their emotions through action and dialogue, rather than internal thoughts, the objective third person omniscient POV may be right for you. If you want to write a story with a strong narrator who frames the characters with their narrative voice, the subjective third person omniscient may be a better fit for your story. Rather than using “I”, which is first person POV, or addressing the reader as “you”, which is second person POV, address the characters by their names or by the applicable pronoun, such as: he, she, his, hers, him and her. For example, instead of writing: “I arrived in town on a cold, windy morning,” you would write, “She arrived in town on a cold, windy morning” or “Alice arrived in town on a cold, windy morning.” When you write in this point of view, remember that the narrator is usually an unknown entity as it is acting as an all seeing eye. So you do not need to give the narrator a name or provide any information about them to the reader. This is different than the first and second person perspectives, where the narrator plays a starring role in the work and dominates the point of view. The most well known example of this type of narrator is the “Lemony Snicket” character in “A Series of Unfortunate Events.” The “Lemony Snicket” narrator identifies himself as “I”, but also addresses the reader directly and shifts into different character perspectives throughout the novel.

TL;DR in English: Decide which type of third person omniscient POV will benefit your story. Practice writing in your chosen POV. Avoid identifying the narrator with objective third person omniscient. Create a strong narrator to use subjective third person omniscient.

On the end of the fish tape that you just pulled out from under the carpet, there should be a hook which you can attach to your cable. It may be helpful to use a bit of tape to secure the cable to the end of the fish tape.  If you are using a tape measure instead, try using duct tape to attach your cable to the end of the measuring tape.  Be sure the cable is securely attached to the fish tape or measuring tape so that you don’t lose the cable underneath the carpet and need to start over. This should pull the cable under the carpet along the path that you made using the the fish tape. Do not stop until you have pulled the cable all the way through the desired path. Apply the same method if you're using a tape measure. Your cable should now run along your desired path underneath your carpet! You can now hook the cable up as you please. If you had to loosen your carpet liner to lift up the carpet, retighten it by hitting it gently with a mallet or hammer. In pulling the carpet out, you may have also loosened nails in the floor. Use the hammer or mallet to gently tap on the carpeted area as well, to ensure that the nails are set back in place.

TL;DR in English: Attach the cable to the fish tape. Pull the tape back through the carpet by rewinding the fish tape reel. Detach the cable from the fish tape. Reattach carpet liner if necessary.

Bring a flashlight and potentially a battery-operated smoke detector. These may seem like overkill, but they don't cost much or take up much room in your luggage. Organize, don't agonize. The flashlight could save your life if you have to quickly navigate a dark hallway or stairwell, and the smoke detector can alert you to fires while you're sleeping.  Check the batteries on each of these before you leave. In most parts of the world, smoke detectors are mandatory in hotel rooms, but when was the last time you tested one?  If you don't bring a smoke detector with you, at least make sure the one in your room works. If a fire starts, you'll want to get out of the building as quickly as possible. This can be difficult if your room is in the upper floors of a high-rise hotel. When you make your reservations, ask for a room on the ground floor or close to it. If you're not able to do this in the reservation process, request it when you check in. If you're in an earthquake area, taking this measure could be helpful. If a fire started in your home, you'd probably know the best way to get out and you'd probably be able to find your way there even in complete darkness. If you can't do this in your hotel, you're risking your life.  Ask for a map of the hotel at the front desk.  If you can't get a map at the front desk, you may be able to find one on the inside of your room's door, depending on where you're traveling. As soon as you get to your room, study the map and find the nearest exit.  Then find the alternate exits.  Walk the potential escape routes from your room all the way to the outside of the building, counting the number of doors between your room and the exits and noting any unusual features that may help you find your way.  Check for potential hazards or obstructions along the way and try to make sure the exit doors open.  Don't plan on using the elevator. If a blaze were to suddenly erupt, you can't leisurely test certain features of the building. Doing this ahead of time saves you time and reduces your...

Soak 2 4 by 8 ft (1.2 by 2.4 m) sheets of plywood in water to soften them. Lay sheets of plywood in 2 L-shapes. Tie one end of a piece of string to a pencil and anchor the other end. Draw a wide curve on both sets of plywood. Cut the plywood along the curve you drew. Stabilize the plywood sides with lumber. Nail in crossbraces along the curve. Lay the wet plywood on top of the crossbraces and nail it down. Finish with a piece of PVC at the top of the curve to act as the ledge.

The doorbell switch is the button that is pushed to sound the doorbell. Choose a visible position next to the door for the switch. Visitors should be able to spot it easily when they are standing in front of your door.  Placing the doorbell switch around eye-level on either side of your door frame is a good bet. It is best to opt for a weatherproof model of doorbell that will not be damaged by rain or snow. The switches for most models of doorbells come with holes at the back to make installation easy. Measure the switch and holes and use an electric drill to mount the switch on your door or wall. Alternatively, apply a strong binding glue to the back of the switch and apply it firmly to the desired surface. Wipe the surface you are attaching the switch to with a clean, damp cloth before the installation. Ideally, the chime box should be mounted somewhere at the center of your home to ensure that everyone hears it. Pick a room that is relatively equal in distance from all the other rooms in your home. Choose a room that you do not usually close the doors to make sure that the sound will carry. For instance, you might install the chime box in your living room or dining room. Most wireless chime boxes will take D batteries. Open the unit and put the batteries in as indicated, them close the back panel securely. Choose a spot in your home where you want the sound to come from and attach the box the wall with screws. Most chime boxes will have mounting holes on the back.

TL;DR in English: Find an easy-to-spot location for the doorbell switch. Attach the switch with screws or adhesive. Choose a central spot to install the chime box. Put batteries in the chime box and mount it.

You’ll want to choose a type of plant and growing methods according to how cold it gets where you live. In short, if you live in a climate that has consistent winter temperatures between 10 °F (−12 °C) and 20 °F (−7 °C), plan to plant artichokes annually. If you live in a relatively warmer climate, you may be able to grow a perennial artichoke variety.  If you live in the U.S., see the maps provided by the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service to determine what zone you live in. If you live in Zone 8 or higher—which corresponds with the temperatures cited above—go with an annual plant varietal. These USDA maps also contain information on the temperatures used to assess an area’s zone, which you can compare to temperatures in your area. There are several artichokes varieties, generally classified as either green or purple.  Among the green varietals, go with “Imperial Star” artichokes for an annual plant and “Green Globe” for a high-producing perennial.  Among purple artichoke options, “Violetta” may prove especially hardy, and “Opera” will mature especially quickly. Rich, fertile, moist soil is best for artichoke growth.  That said, artichokes are hardy plants capable of growing in most soil as long as they are fed and the soil can drain. Consider building raised beds to assist in drainage if you live in an area with heavy rainfall. Plan to prepare soil with at least 6 inches (15 cm) of compost tilled into the ground before planting.

TL;DR in English: Identify your growing zone. Choose a type of artichoke. Ensure adequate soil.

If you try to bend dry plywood into a curve for the Warped Wall, it will crack. Place the plywood in a pool or use spare pieces of wood to prop up the edges of a tarp. Hold the plywood in the water by placing a cinder block in the middle, and leave it there while you build the rest of the frame. These will eventually be the sides of your Warped Wall. The amount of plywood you will need will depend on the size you want your Warped Wall to be. On the show, the Warped Wall is 14 to 16 feet (4.3 to 4.9 m) high, but you can adjust the height to your preferences.  For most walls, 3 pieces of plywood will be enough. Laying the plywood in an L-shape will allow you to create a curve along the side of your wall. By tying the free end of the string to a fixed location, it will act as a compass, creating a circle as you travel around the center point. This will help you create the curve for your Warped Wall. The string should be long enough so that the pencil can sweep across the plywood in a gentle curve. If you don't have anything to tie the string to, have someone stand in one place and hold the string. After you draw the curve on the first set of plywood, arrange the second set so the string is anchored exactly the same distance away, and draw the same curve again. Use a saw to carefully cut both sets of plywood. Once this is done, you have the sides for your Warped Wall. Use 4 by 4 in (10 by 10 cm) or another heavy type of lumber to create a frame on your plywood. This will reinforce the plywood and will give the final structure more stability. Make sure you leave enough space between the frame and the edge of the sides for your plywood curve. Insert wooden boards cut the width of your wall all along the curve to attach the 2 sides of the wall together. Space these crossbraces out evenly along the length of the curve. About 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) should be sufficient. You can also add extra plywood to what will eventually be the top and bottom of your wall at this time.  The length of the crossbraces should be cut...

Fiddler crabs live near bodies of water, so you’ll want to set up something as close tot their natural habitat as possible. Get an aquarium of at least 10 gallons to accommodate your fiddler crabs.  Buy an aquarium tank commensurate with the number of fiddler crabs you’ll have. For example, if you have four or less animals, a 10 gallon tank will work. However, if the animals are larger or you have more than four, get at least a 20 gallon tank to avoid hostility between the crabs. Get the biggest tank you can afford at a pet store or large retailer. You can also often find them second hand, though you should wash these before using them. See if the tank has a tank screen for the top because fiddler crabs can climb and escape. Crabs are more active when their environment is warm. However, direct sunlight can kill fiddler crabs, so you want to put the aquarium in a warm spot out of the direct sun.  Find a spot that has a relatively consistent temperature of 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 25 Celsius). Use a thermometer on the aquarium if necessary.  Make sure the aquarium isn’t exposed to radiators or heating devices or drafty areas of your home. Although there is differing consensus on how much sand to add to your aquarium, keep in mind that fiddler crabs are semi-terrestrial and like to burrow. Fill the aquarium with at least a few centimeters of sand so that your crabs feel comfortable.  Try starting with 4-5 centimeters of sand in the aquarium. Add more if you have multiple crabs or want to give your crabs more space to burrow. Use aquarium, play, or bio sand to fill the tank. Pile most of the sand on one side of the tank until you get to the level you like. You’ll need to add a small amount of water to the tank to mimic the fiddler crabs natural brackish-water habitat. Either add a small bowl of water or pour water directly into the tank.  Fill the tank with 1.5-2 liters of brackish water.  Make brackish water by mixing 1.5-2 liters of dechlorinated water with 1 gram or ½ teaspoon marine salts. Remember...

TL;DR in English: Purchase an aquarium tank. Place the tank in a warm spot. Add sand to the aquarium. Fill the tank with water. Decorate the tank.

It can be difficult to actively pursue a passionate attitude, especially if you have a packed schedule and a list of commitments. Set aside time, maybe one hour a day or fifteen minutes a day, to be creative. During this allotted time, shut your door, turn off your phone, and focus on being creative. This will ensure that you actually focus on being more creative and passionate, on your own or with others. It may help to put down “creative time” in your day planner or your iCalendar so you get a notification every day reminding you that it’s time to be creative, even for a few minutes a day. In the fashion world, an inspiration board is called a “mood board”. Create your own inspiration or mood board to get inspired to be creative. An inspiration board can be especially helpful if you are stuck on a problem or issue and are trying to come up with interesting solutions or ideas, such as “what is my passion?” or “how can I cultivate more passion in my life?”  To make an inspiration board, write the question you are trying to solve in the middle of a large poster board. Then, create a collage of images, words, articles, poems, and other visual inspirations, like graphs or charts, around the question. This will allow you to map out possible inspirations around the question and get you excited and motivated about answering the question. You can continue to add to the inspiration board as you find more ideas or visual elements. Over time, you may have a more complete picture of how you can answer a question or find a solution to a problem. A free write is a technique used in writing courses to help individuals brainstorm and develop their writing voice. Free-writing can also be a great exercise for identifying your feelings, ideas, impressions, and thoughts on a particular subject or prompt.

Free writes are usually timed, around four to five minutes per prompt and...

TL;DR in English: Make time in your schedule to be creative. Create an inspiration board. Do a free write. Have a brainstorm session with a partner or a team. Draw or build one idea a month. Watch inspirational talks and discussions.

The decision to attend marriage counseling should be a mutual discussion. Find a time when neither you nor your spouse are busy. Talk privately away from children or other family members.  Let your spouse know you want to talk about something serious. Make sure they're not distracted by television or the computer. You might say, “Hey, can we take an hour tonight to talk about our relationship?” It is important to consider your partner's feelings when deciding to get marriage counseling. Perhaps they have also felt tension in your marriage or perhaps they do not think anything is wrong. When your partner speaks, listen to them. You may feel defensive or upset by their comments. Instead of arguing with them, say something like, “That's probably a good reason why we should attend marriage counseling.” Tell your spouse that you think it would be a good idea to get marriage counseling. Focus on building and strengthening your relationship.  State your perspective in “I” statements to avoid blame or arguments. For example, instead of saying “You nag me about everything,” you might say, “When I am criticized for everything I do, it makes me feel as though I am not valued.” Remind your partner what is good and wonderful about your relationship. You might try to prepare 5 positive statements about why your marriage is worth saving. Your partner might suggest trying alternatives before getting marriage counseling. Take this as a good sign. Instead of getting counseling, you can try developing your own plan. If the plan doesn't work, then you can see a counselor.  For example, you might decide to implement a weekly date night to help restore intimacy or you may agree on new responsibilities around the house. Your partner may ask you if you want a divorce. Answer this question honestly. If you both agree without hesitation that you want a divorce, marriage counseling may not be able to save your relationship. For marriage counseling to work, both partners must make a commitment to give it their best effort. Understand...

Rubrics are generally used for longer assignments or projects that involve multiple sections or parts that will require a certain amount of subjectivity in the grading. In other words, you wouldn't use a rubric for a multiple-choice test but you might use one to grade an essay or a presentation. Articulating the particular goals of the project to be graded helps you come up with the more specific things you'll look for in evaluating it. Consider the following questions:  What is the main purpose of the assignment you're grading? What are the students supposed to have learned by completing the assignment? How will you recognize a successful assignment? What makes a project stand out? What's "good enough"? To start breaking the grade down, distinguish between the parts of the grade that cover the content and the parts of the grade that are morel like completion points. There are typically two main categories of components that you'll need to determine to complete a comprehensive rubric, depending on the assignment you're grading: content and process.   Content components refer to the actual meat of the assignment and the quality of what the student produces.

A mirror shine is an ultra-glossy finish on leather. It is a common finish on dress shoes. If you have a pair of shoes or other leather item that has a wax mirror shine on it, then you might need to purchase a special product to get the wax off. Purchase a bottle of leather wax remover in the shoe department of a store or online. Apply the product to a rag or soft cloth and wipe it over the surface of the leather. Continue to apply and wipe the surface until the mirror glaze is completely gone. Mirror glaze can be difficult to remove.  Press hard as you wipe down the surface of the leather item. Fill an empty spray bottle about 1/4 to 1/2 full with rubbing alcohol. Then, spray a light layer of alcohol all over your leather item. Apply enough alcohol so that the item is damp but not drenched. Allow the alcohol to dry completely to give your leather a dull, weathered look.  You can also use a toothbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol to apply it to hard-to-reach spots. Alcohol dries quickly, so you should notice the effect within 5 minutes of applying the product. Acetone nail polish remover can lighten or even remove the dyes used to color your leather. Pour a small amount of acetone nail polish remover onto a cotton ball or soft cloth, and rub the cotton ball or cloth over any spots you want to lighten. Focus on areas that might naturally fade first, such as the bottom corners of bags or the elbow creases of jackets. This technique will work differently depending on the quality and color of the dye. You may not be able to completely remove the color on a dark leather item.

TL;DR in English: Use a wax stripping product to remove a mirror shine. Spray the item with rubbing alcohol to create a dull, weathered look. Apply acetone nail polish remover to remove color and shine.

If you have dark hair, you will need to lift the color before applying any rose hues. While your hair doesn’t need to be platinum for this to work, the rose color will not show up on brown hair. You will need to reach a golden color before you can do anything else.  You can purchase a bleaching kit at your local beauty supply store. Depending on the kit you use, your exact instructions may differ. If you are going from a dark brown to blonde, it is highly recommended that you go to a professional. Bleaching your hair at home may take several applications, and you will most likely achieve an orange color before getting close to blonde. Multiple applications of bleach can be damaging to your hair, and if you can shell out a little bit of extra money to visit a salon, it may be worth it. Bleach is a powerful chemical that can stain and ruin clothes and sting or irritate your hands. It’s best to wear clothes you don’t care about while you’re doing this, and protect your hands with plastic gloves. On that note, take extra care to keep your workstation as clean as possible. Bleach can easily ruin your bathroom rug or your nice hand towels! Both of these will come in the bleaching kit that you purchase, as well as mixing tub or a bottle to mix them in. Use a brush to mix the developer and bleach in the mixing tub, or shake the bottle vigorously to thoroughly mix the 2 products. Once it’s mixed, it’s ready to apply. To ensure that you coat all of your hair with the bleach, it’s best to work in small sections. Use claw clips or duck bill clips to section your hair into 4 sections. Part your hair down the middle, and then part it again from ear to ear, like a plus sign. Make sure each section is thoroughly brushed out before you begin applying the bleach. It’s much easier to work with tangle-free hair. Begin with the back sections. It’s important to work efficiently as you do this. It may seem strange, but rather than applying the bleach to your roots and working down the hair, you will be doing the opposite. Start...

TL;DR in English: Purchase the proper supplies. Wear gloves and an old t-shirt. Mix your developer and your bleach. Clip your hair into sections. Begin applying the bleach. Let the bleach sit on your hair according to instructions. Repeat this process, if necessary. Use purple shampoo to tone your hair.

You'll need some sort of container to provide a home for your starter. Use a small mixing bowl that will hold between 2 to 4 cups (500 to 1000 ml). You can use almost any type of container made for food; however, it is recommended to use a non-reactive container such as glass or plastic. Plan to cover your container with plastic wrap or a clean cloth. Mix 1/4 cup (50 ml) of water with 1/2 cup (50 g) of whole grain flour. If you're weighing your ingredients, use 50 grams each of flour and water. Mix the ingredients until thoroughly-combined and cover with plastic wrap. Once you've stirred the starter, scrape down the sides of the container. You want to make sure you don't leave "food" on the side of the container to feed mold growth. You want a place where the starter isn't likely to be disturbed (dogs, children, curious husbands) and where you can maintain the temperature within the 65° to 85°F (18° to 30°C) range. If you need a warmer area, turning on the light in an oven (but not turning the oven on) will often get you the temperature you need. Similarly, the top of many refrigerators is also a literal hot spot. Sourdough is all about patience. What are you waiting for exactly? You want the starter to become active and start bubbling. In time it'll rise and grow like it's alive. How long are you waiting? 12 hours is usually enough for the starter to become active, so definitely make other plans. Bubbling can begin a few hours into the wait, or it can take as long as 24 hours -- it all depends on the ingredients you used and the environment it's in. If the starter is not active in 12 hours, give it another 12 hours for good measure. If it still isn't active, give it another 12 hours. And if it's not active after 36 hours, check the steps above to make sure you did them right. If everything was right, throw it out and try again -- it's probably not going to happen. If you've tried twice with no results, try a different brand of flour or type of water. When the starter is active, you have to feed it. Add...

Herbs are usually safe, but they aren’t right for everyone. They can interfere with medications you’re taking, and you could be allergic. Talk to your doctor before you take herbal supplements to make sure they’re safe for you.  Remind your doctor of the medications and supplements you’re already taking. If you are pregnant, do not take any herbal supplements before you talk to your doctor. When you take herbal supplements, always follow your doctor's dosing instructions as well as the manufacturer's instructions about dosing. Occasional heartburn typically isn’t anything to worry about. However, chronic heartburn may be a problem. Over time, chronic heartburn can lead to complications, so it’s best to visit your doctor. They’ll figure out what’s causing your heartburn and offer you treatment options.  Symptoms of heartburn include a burning or irritating sensation in the middle of your chest, a sour taste in your mouth, burping or hiccups that won’t stop, dry coughs, nausea, stomach bloating, dark or black stools, feeling like food is stuck in your throat, and pain that gets worse when you bend over or lie down. Your doctor will likely recommend you try over-the-counter (OTC) heartburn treatments if you haven’t already. These can neutralize acid or reduce your acid production.  Additionally, they’ll probably suggest lifestyle changes. If this doesn’t work, they’ll probably prescribe a medication for you. Chronic heartburn can turn into GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), which can cause serious ulcers that may cause internal bleeding. GERD can also increase your risk for certain medical conditions, so it’s important to get treatment if you need it. Try not to worry, but these are always considered emergency symptoms. It’s especially important that you get treatment if you’re also experiencing pain in your arm or jaw, which could indicate a heart attack. Visit an emergency room or call for help if you have these serious symptoms.Heartburn can cause extreme symptoms in some cases. However, it’s always best...

TL;DR in English: Check with your doctor before using herbal remedies. See your doctor if you have heartburn at least twice a week. Get emergency medical care for chest pain and difficulty breathing.

These products hold up better to the sort of heat, moisture, rubbing, and swelling that outdoor wood surfaces are often subjected to. They have the ability to flex a little, which makes them less likely to crack than paints that dry into a hard shell. As a result, your paint job will look better and last longer.  You should be able to cover about 400 square feet (about 37 square meters) with a single gallon of primer. Make sure it's between 50–90 °F (10–32 °C) outside when you apply the primer. If it's too hot or too cold, it may not dry with the right consistency. A roller will make it easier to spread the primer over broader areas. For smaller surfaces and tricky structures like railings, a handheld brush will offer the greatest amount of control. Apply the primer in an even layer thick enough to completely conceal the wood grain underneath.  Use the tip of the brush to work the primer deeper into dips and divots in rich wood grain. Start at the top of the structure and work your way down. That way, any drips will be erased as you go back over them. When you’re done priming, inspect the surface for any spots, seams, or bare patches you may have overlooked. A few strokes with a handheld brush will make them disappear. Paint may peel or wear away faster in places without a primer foundation. Most primers will take from 2 to 6 hours to dry to the touch. After about 12 hours, the primer will have set enough to paint over with a followup coat, if desired. To minimize the chances of smudges and transfer, avoid handling the wet primer during this time. Leave the primer to dry overnight before applying your first coat of paint to ensure that it has time to absorb into the wood. Once the primer is dry, walk around the structure and look for any gaps or cracks that might cause an issue down the line. Seal each opening using a caulk gun loaded with silicone sealant. The caulk will harden within an hour, keeping the structure off-limits from rain, mold, bugs, and drafts.  The caulk you use should be paintable, able to...

TL;DR in English: Choose a latex-based primer designed for exterior use. Brush on a coat of primer. Touch up missed spots. Allow the primer to dry completely. Use caulk to fill any visible openings.

Creating a Katniss inspired braid is easier than you might think. It is like a French braid, but it starts lower, wraps around the side and back of your head, and looks messier. To create the look, you will need:  shampoo and conditioner comb and/or brush anti-frizz or leave in conditioning spray (optional) a crimper or texturizing spray extensions (optional) bobby pins a rubber band curling iron (optional) Wash and dry your hair first and then brush and/or comb through it until it is completely tangle-free. You can use an anti-frizz serum or a leave in conditioner if you like. Some people find braiding easier with damp hair, but it depends on the texture of your hair. If you have fine, thin hair, then starting with damp hair is a good idea. However, if you have thick hair that is also curly or wavy, then you should start with dry hair. If your hair is thin or too short to complete the braid, then you may want to add some extensions to your hair. Choose extensions that are about the same color as your hair so that they will blend in.  To put in the extensions, lift up a section of your hair on the back of your head. Then, place the extensions on back of your head and secure the extensions with bobby pins. Tug on the extensions to ensure that they are tight and will not fall out. Then, unclip the section of hair above the extensions and let it fall over the extensions.

TL;DR in English: Gather the items you will need. Start with clean, dry, tangle-free hair. Consider using extensions if your hair is not long enough.

Different types of snoring are caused by different things, and you will need to understand the root cause in order to find a solution. To start: ask your partner or your roommate whether you snore with your mouth open or with your mouth closed.  If you snore with your mouth wide open, your throat passage may be partially blocked. When you sleep, the muscles in your throat relax--and sometimes they relax so much that air cannot flow. You gasp for air, and this causes you to snore. A blocked throat passage can be a symptom of various health issues, from sleep apnea to a sinus infection.  Closed-mouth snoring indicates that your tongue may be getting in the way of your windpipe, particularly if you are sleeping on your back. If you sleep on your back, buy yourself a few extra pillows and prop yourself up in bed, rather than lying flat on your back. This will help keep your throat unblocked.  Consider raising the head of your bed. Some mattresses and bed frames are adjustable, allowing you to raise the headrest at the click of a button. If you own an adjustable bed, use it! If you do not own an adjustable bed, you may consider raising the headboard yourself. Place a 2x4 plank or a brick underneath each of the two legs at the head of the bed. Make sure that the incline is not too steep that you slide out of bed, and make sure that the bed is stable before you try to sleep in it. When you sleep on your back, your tongue may rest against your throat, blocking your windpipe  and causing you to snore. Experiment with side- and stomach-sleeping positions, and find what works for you. If you are comfortable, you will be less likely to roll back onto your back in your sleep. When you try to roll onto your back in your sleep, the tennis ball will wake you. Gradually, you may be able to train yourself not to sleep on your back. Alcohol is a muscle relaxant, and it can relax the muscles that keep your windpipe open, thus blocking your air intake. Your body overcompensates for the blockage by taking in too much air, which...

TL;DR in English: Understand why you snore. Prop your head up. Try to fall sleep on your side or your stomach. Sew a tennis ball to the back of a t-shirt and sleep in that shirt. Avoid drinking alcohol before bed. Avoid consuming cannabis before bed. Avoid using prescription sleep aids. Avoid eating heavy meals before bed. Consider losing weight. Avoid smoking. Sing

One way to enhance spontaneity is to surprise your love with a hug from behind. As long as they aren't doing anything too important, wrapping your arms around their waist, and resting your head against theirs can be a super sweet surprise. Press your torso up against the back person you are hugging, and wrap your arms around them. It doesn't matter so much if you are taller or shorter, other than where your hands will end up. Generally, the taller hugger relaxes their upper arms, and reaches around to hug with their lower arms. The shorter hugger can hold their arms straight out, rather than bending at the elbow. You can "stack" one arm on top of the other, one arm in front of the other, or even reach up over the chest and hold the shoulders of the person you are hugging; it all depends on the size of your arms and the size of the hugged one where your arms are best placed. Like the front-facing hug, leaning your head on or against someone is a signal of intimacy. If you are as tall or taller than the hugged one, you can nuzzle their face or neck. If you are shorter, you can rest your head sideways on their back. A romantic hug lasts longer than a platonic hug. Gently clutch a little tighter for two or three seconds. Take a deep breath and exhale; relax into the hug and enjoy it. For the person being hugged, caressing your huggers arms is a natural, lovely touch. You can also reach back and caress their face or hair. For the hugger, though, caressing can become fairly intimate without much effort. If you're at that level with the person you are hugging, this is a delightful way to begin intimacies. If not, proceed with caution. It can result in the ice being broken, or your nose being broken. A slow caress is romantic. Enjoy a front-facing hug as you enjoy the closeness of your partner. Should you need further direction, start at the top of the page again. Enjoy!

TL;DR in English: Come from behind. Stand behind the person you are going to hug. Place your arms in front. Make head contact. Squeeze and hold. Use your hands. Rotate your hugged one around.

If you’re still in school, you can start a club involving other students. You can also organize a group in your community—get together and talk about the things going on in your lives. The goal of the organization or club is to provide a sense of support. Organize events to raise awareness for depression and mental health. Create flyers that have information about depression on them, such as signs and symptoms to look for, what it exactly is, and who to go to for help. You can also make motivational signs that have messages on them reminding you to reach out to others.  You can hang them in your school, in libraries, on community bulletin boards, and any other place that gives you permission. Consider positive messages such as, "Never be afraid to ask for help" or "If you're feeling down, talk it out!" Bake some cookies or create a collection of crafts to sell in your community. Make a sign for the event that states that the money will go to raising awareness for depression, and choose a foundation to donate it to. This is a great way to raise awareness—not only will you be supporting mental health in the actual walk or run, but you can raise money for organizations that will help people with depression. You can also promote your campaign through social media, spreading the message to even more people. Find local walks or runs near you by visiting sites such as https://www.namiwalks.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.eventlist. If you're still in school, ask a teacher or faculty member if you can organize a talk for your class, grade, or entire school. If you're not in school, reach out to local schools to see if they'll allow you to give a presentation on mental health and depression. Prepare for the presentation well in advance, looking up information and crafting your talk so that you know exactly what you want to say and have all the right facts.

TL;DR in English: Start an organization or club that deals with mental health. Hang signs or flyers to spread information and positive messages. Organize a bake sale or craft show to raise money and awareness. Participate in a walk or run to raise awareness. Plan a school presentation to reach a large audience.

As soon as you have removed the spines and pedicellariae, you need to clean and flush the wound.  This will be uncomfortable as your wound is still sore and will sting to the touch. Be prepared to work through the pain or have someone assist you if you're worried about not being able to tolerate the discomfort.  You can also use hydrogen peroxide or betadine solutions instead of soap.  Rinse the area thoroughly with clean drinking water after washing. Bandages and tape should not be used to seal the wound. Any embedded spines not removed with tweezers need to work their way out of the skin to avoid bacterial infections and effects of the urchin's venom. To treat the pain and minimize chances of infection, some people bathe their wound after the initial cleaning.  You can submerge the wound in hot water. The water should be hot to the touch but not boiling. Keep the wound in the water for at least an hour or as long as you can tolerate the heat. This will help ease the pain and dissolve any remaining spines. You can add Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate compound to the water to aid in this process.  Some people try a hot vinegar bath. Mix a small amount of vinegar in a tub of hot water and soak for 20 to 40 minutes. You can also add Epsom salt to the water, as this will help the remaining spines dissolve.

TL;DR in English: Clean the wound with soap and water. Do not close the wound. Bathe the wound.

Wait a while for your body to cool down some from the shower before applying your medication. Unless a medical professional advised you otherwise, start behind the ears and from the jawline and work your way down. Apply using cotton wool swabs, a paintbrush, a sponge, or any item supplied with the treatment for the purpose.  Continue rubbing the cream downward, over your entire body. Avoid the eyes, nose, and mouth area, but apply everywhere else. You must cover your genitals, soles of your feet, between your toes, back, and buttocks. Get help for areas you're not able to reach yourself. After covering your body, take care of your hands. Apply between the fingers and under your nails. You will need to reapply the cream to your hands every time you wash them. Leave the lotion or oil on your body for the amount of time directed. This is usually between eight to 24 hours. The length of time you'll need to leave the medication on your skin will depend on the product and your doctor's instructions. otion. Once the allotted time is up, wash off the medication under a warm shower. Be aware that you may remain itchy for a few weeks after the treatment. This is because your allergic reaction to the mites continues while the dead mites bodies remain in the skin. If it's concerning you, speak with your doctor again. All household members need treatment on the same day, even if they aren't showing signs of scabies. This will prevent reinfestation. Don't forget visitors to your house.

Categorize your expenses. Save an emergency fund. Use tools to track spending.

There's no reason to date someone if you don't personally feel ready to do so. Remember that all girls develop at different rates, and there's no magic age when you're "supposed" to start dating. If you're uncomfortable with the idea of dating, don't. It's important to mentally set boundaries for yourself before you start dating. Otherwise, you may find yourself getting into situations you don't want to be in.  Always remember to use protection. Sex as a teen is risky, but if you're ready for it you need to minimize that risk as much as possible. Many teen girls use some type of hormonal birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies. It's also important to use a condom, as hormonal birth control isn't 100% effective and won't protect you from sexually transmitted infections. Don't let one night of fun derail your entire life. If you want to start going out with someone but still feel a little intimidated by the idea of one-on-one dates, compromise by taking them on a date with friends. This is actually the most common type of "dating" for most teens today. If you think about it, most traditional dating ideas are easy to enjoy in a group setting. Specific activities great for group dates are:  Dinner, especially at a more casual restaurant. Places that specialize in intimate candlelit dinners aren't as accommodating to a large crowd of teens. Going to events like movies and concerts. Trips to zoos, aquariums, or museums. Simply hanging out at someone's house, a park, or even after school. At least until you start seeing each other exclusively, it's a good idea to not post anything publicly. Once you do decide to make your relationship "official" on Facebook, avoid annoying your friends by spamming them with pictures and statuses about your dates. Red flags are things your date may do or say that are warning signs of a bad relationship or even abuse to come. Don't just brush it off if you find your date doing any of the following:  Insulting or belittling to you or others. Forcing you to do anything you don't...

TL;DR in English: Make sure you're ready. Set boundaries. Try group dating. Keep your relationships off of social media. Watch out for red flags. Tell someone else about your plans when going out.

Memory wire is a special type of wire that keeps its "ring" shape. There are lots of different sizes of memory wire, ranging from ring to bracelet to necklace size. You want to get the smallest size, which is the ring size. Anything larger will slide off the base of your wine glass. Look for something that is between ¾ and 1-inch (1.91 and 2.54-centimeter) wide. Memory wire is very difficult to cut, so you want to use a pair of heavy-duty wire cutters for this. Do not use your good jewelry wire cutters. They are too delicate for this task, and the memory wire could dull the blades down. Use a pair of round nose pliers to pinch the end of your memory wire. Twist the pliers upwards, against the curve of the memory wire, until you have a small loop. Pull the pliers out and set them aside. You can add one big bead or a bunch of small beads. You can also do a combination of the two: a big bead with small beads to either side of it. Be sure to leave about ¼ to ½ inch (0.64 to 1.27 centimeters) at the end of the wire so that you can make another loop. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to open up a jump ring. Pull the ends of the jump ring past each other rather than away from each other. Slip the jump ring through the loop at the top of your charm, then close the jump ring. After this, you can slide the jump ring onto the memory wire.  You can use a charm just by itself or with some small beads to either side of it. If the ends of the jump ring aren't touching, you can pinch the jump ring to push them towards each other until they touch. Some charms may already have a jump ring attached to the top loop. If you have a charm like this, simply slip it onto the memory wire. Like before, use your round nose pliers to pinch the end of the memory wire. Twist the memory wire against the curve of the memory wire, then slide them out. To attach the charm, simply pull the ring apart slightly, and push it onto the stem of your wine glass. The memory wire will naturally keep its shape, so you do not need to use the loops you made...

TL;DR in English: Get some ring-sized memory wire. Measure out 1¼ to 1½ loops, then cut them with a pair of heavy-duty wire cutters. Twist one of the ends of your memory wire into a small loop. Add your bead(s), if desired. Consider adding a charm instead of beads. Make another loop at the end of the memory wire to secure the beads. Use the wine glass charm.

Hookworm is most common in developing nations in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. Areas with poor sanitation, water treatment, and plumbing/sewage infrastructure are especially at risk. The hookworm larvae live in the soil and migrate toward the surface in search of oxygen and sunlight. Coming into contact with soil in high-risk areas — whether by hand or by walking barefoot — increases your odds of infection. Sunbathing on your back can also cause infection. Hookworms thrive best in a moist, sandy environment. There are three ways to contract hookworm: through skin penetration, oral ingestion, and rarely via breast milk. If you either live in or have visited a high-risk area, think about whether any of those modes of transmission are possible. Skin penetration is most common through the feet, but can occur anywhere on the body.  You can contract it orally by eating food prepared by an infected host or coming into contact with infected feces. Dog and cat owners, especially, can contract hookworm while handling their pets' feces.  Soil can become contaminated by pet feces, as well. Consider whether you've walked barefoot somewhere dogs or cats defecate. " If you have an infection type called "cutaneous larva migrans," you may develop a very memorable rash. The word "serpiginous" shares a root with "serpent," or snake. The rash has that name because you can see the hookworms moving around under the surface of the skin, like snakes. This rash migrates one to two centimeters a day, from which we get the "migrans" part of the name. Once you've contracted hookworm, they find their way into your bloodstream. When they reach the lungs, they penetrate the air sacs around the lung (alveoli) and cause inflammation. This may result in a mild cough or perhaps a sore throat while the larvae continue up the airway toward the glottis. Other symptoms of this stage might include:  Wheezing Headache Coughing up blood As the larvae approach the glottis, they get swallowed and make their way to the small intestine....

TL;DR in English: Consider your exposure to high-risk areas. Think about how you could have contracted hookworm. Watch for a "serpiginous rash. Look for mild coughing or sore throat. Notice signs of anemia. Do not ignore stomach pain. Note that many patients do not exhibit symptoms. Seek early diagnosis.

Use a spreadsheet to track your expenses for one month.  Separate your expenses into three categories: fixed needs, variable needs and wants.  Fixed needs are necessary expenses that remain the same month after month.  These include rent or your phone bill. Variable needs are necessary expenses that may fluctuate from month to month.  These include gas for your car and food. Wants are nonessential expenses.  These are things you could do without if you had to.  These include take out coffee, cable and entertainment. Unexpected expenses happen to everyone.  You don’t want to have to go into debt to cover repairs on your car or a medical bill.  Save a little every month into a rainy day fun.  Pay this fund before you purchase nonessential items.  For example, if it’s a choice between saving in your emergency fund or going to the movies, opt to save until you have enough put aside. Get in the habit of recording your expenses each day.  This will help you to build self-control.  It will also reduce stress because you won’t be surprised by your checking account balance at the end of the month.  Record all of your expenses in a notebook.  Or, use an envelope system.  Keep your budgeted amount for each category in a separate envelope.  If you know how to use Excel and you have it installed on your computer, use one of their free budgeting templates.

Determine the number of hits. Find the number of bases on balls. Note the number of times the player was hit by a pitch. Count the number of at bats. Factor in the number of sacrifice flies. Plug your values into the OBP formula.

Fresh water should be provided for your puppy at all times; there's no need for a schedule. Refill your puppy’s water dish often and wash it out once per day to keep it clean. Bring a bottle of water and a collapsible dish with you when you travel. Puppies need a quiet area to eat their food. Make sure that your puppy has a nice quiet space to eat and prevent other animals from getting to your puppy's food bowl. If your puppy feels threatened while eating, he may start guarding his food bowl. This resource guarding behavior can escalate and become dangerous to you and others. Try placing your puppy's food and water bowls in a quiet corner of your kitchen or at the end of a hallway. Make sure that your puppy can access his food and water bowls with ease. Puppies are like babies in that they like to stick to a schedule. Meal feeding also helps with house training, since the puppy will need to relieve itself on a schedule.  Bear in mind that a puppy has a small stomach and he cannot take in his calorie requirements for the day in two large meals. However, as he grows his stomach expands relative to his frame and he can cope with larger, less frequent meals.  If your puppy is under 3 months of age, then feed him 4 meals a day. If your puppy is between 3 - 6 months of age, then feed him 3 meals a day (4 for toy breeds). If your puppy is 6 months or over, feed him 2 meals a day. If you are often not home during the day, you'll need a way to feed your puppy while you are gone. For example, you could come home at lunch or arrange for a neighbor to feed your puppy in the middle of the day. You can also purchase feeders that operate on a timer that will make food available at certain times during the day. This schedule will only be for a few months, then you can feed morning and night when your puppy is older. Most puppies need to eliminate 15-20 minutes after eating a meal, so it is a good idea to get into the habit of taking your puppy to go potty right after he finishes eating. Doing so will help prevent accidents...

TL;DR in English: Provide fresh water with your puppy's food. Set aside a quiet area for your puppy to eat. Feed your puppy at the same time every day. Make arrangements if you will not be home to feed your puppy. Take your puppy to his potty place after he finishes eating.

Once your dog knows how to open the refrigerator, you want him to open it on command at a distance. First have him obey the command while you stand in front of the refrigerator. Then move farther away so he has to walk to the refrigerator to obey the command. Keep moving farther from the refrigerator until you are in a different room and out of eyesight of the refrigerator. This time you want to do the same thing with the second command. Open the refrigerator. While standing in front of the refrigerator, give the "Bring me a beer" command. Click and reward when he completes the task. Then repeat the task as you move farther and farther and into a different room. This last one is important. Although your dog may be able to put together that he has to open the refrigerator to get a beer, he will likely not remember to then go back and close the refrigerator. Practice having him complete this task just as you did with the previous tasks. Just don't forget to re-open the refrigerator each time he closes it. While standing near the refrigerator, give your dog each command in sequence. First "Open the fridge", then "Bring me a beer", then "Close the fridge". At first, reward him for each task completed. Then start rewarding him only when he finishes the last task. Keep giving the commands as you move into a different room. The final task is to train your dog to complete the "Bring me a beer" task without needing to provide the "Open the fridge" command. Stand in front of the refrigerator and give the "Bring me a beer" command. If you are lucky, he will almost immediately pulls the refrigerator open to get to the beers. If not, don't use the "Open the fridge" command. Instead, keep using the "Bring me a beer" command but train him to open the door first just as if the pulling the rope was the first part of the "Bring me a beer" command. Training your dog to close the refrigerator in the middle of the second task may be very confusing for your dog. If you insist that this is necessary, you will want to start training...

TL;DR in English: Teach your dog to open the refrigerator at a distance. Praise your dog when he brings you a beer. Train your dog to go back and close the door. Practice doing all three in sequence. Reward him when he completes the first two tasks with one command.

. Walking is both free and flexible. You can go for a walk in the park or try touring part of your city. If you live in an area with a downtown, historic site, boardwalk, or similar attraction, tour the area with your date. It’s a great way to get to know each other because you’ll be able to talk to each other.  If you both really enjoy nature, try hiking. See if your city or town has brochures or a local website that highlights its best features. Even the smallest of towns have something that makes them special.  If you’ve been dating for a while, spice up your walk by using your phones to take vacation-style  photos of each other at various sites around town. If you live in an area with frozen-over lakes, try ice skating instead. Picnics are the classic budget date. You don’t have splurge on a fancy blanket and basket. Instead, use what you have to create a great meal outside. You can use a regular blanket, or look for a picnic table at your local park. Pack a lunch or choose something cheap from the premade section of the grocery store. Sometimes even fast food outside can be a fun date. Snuggling up together and looking at the stars can be a romantic way to spend the evening. Download a stargazing app, such as SkyView, and try to find the stars in your part of the sky. If you have a telescope, bring it with you. If not, enjoy the opportunity to make up stories about what you might be seeing. Bring hot cocoa for warmth and extra fun. If either of you has access to a pool, lake, beach, or pond, plan a date on the water. While swimming is a terrific way to enjoy time together, you can also enjoy food, drinks, paddling, fishing, and other related water activities. Even if you’re only able to feed a few ducks, it’ll still be a fun experience.  Check for ponds at local parks. Consider the distance to local beaches or lakes. Ask your date if their apartment complex or subdivision has a pool.

TL;DR in English: Go for a walk Go on a picnic. Spend the night stargazing. Spend a day in the water.

Recall that a batter earns a hit (H) when he hits the ball into fair territory and safely reaches first base. As an example, take Charles Cobb Blackmon of the Colorado Rockies. Say that when he played against the San Francisco Giants, he scored 2 hits. In this case, H would equal 2. Once you’ve noted the number of hits, note also the number of times the player reached first base because he received four pitches outside the strike zone. In the example above, Charles Cobb Blackmon was walked just once. In this case, BB would equal 1. In addition to hits and bases on balls, you need to know if the player ever reached base because he was hit by a pitch. In the example above, Charles Cobb Blackmon did not get hit by a pitch. Therefore, HBP would equal 0. In order to determine the on base percentage, you need to know how many times the player batted. Most batters will stand to hit 4 or 5 times during a game, but there is tremendous variation here. In the example above, Blackmon stood to bat 5 times, so AB would be equal to 5. If the player hit any sacrifice flies, you need to know that to determine the on base percentage. In the example above, Blackmon did not hit any sacrifice flies. SF would therefore equal 0. To find the on base percentage, you add the players hits, hits by pitch, and bases on balls together; you then divide that number by the sum of the at bats, hits by pitch, bases on balls, and sacrifice flies. The formula looks like this. In the example above, you would plug Blackmon’s stats into the formula. Here are his relevant stats.You would add H + BB + HBP to get 3, and AB + BB + HBP + SF to get 6. Then divide 3 by 6. Blackmon’s OBP for this particular game was therefore 0.5.

TL;DR in English:


Determine your overhead. Price your goods or services appropriately. Brand yourself. Use good business practices. Dress the part.

For adult’s and children’s parties, there may be a theme or dress code for the party that you should mention to your guests. Most auxiliary and sensitive information can be included in the last line of the invitation before the RSVP. Dress codes might include:  Black-tie if the party is happening at a fine dining restaurant or upscale club A theme if the party is a costume party. Casual if the party will be taking place at someone’s home. There are several types of parties that require guests to come prepared with certain things, and the invitation should indicate this. Examples include:  Pool parties, to which guests should bring swimming attire and towels. Sleep-overs, to which guests may need to bring pillows and blankets. Excursion parties, in which case guests may need tents, sleeping bags, food, and other gears. Hobby parties, where guests may need old clothes, paint brushes, or other craft supplies. Some parties lend themselves to plus ones, whereas others simply don’t. For the types of parties where you don’t want guests bringing extras (such as friends, siblings, or significant others), be sure to note this on the invitation. You can say things like:  “No siblings, please!” “Please note there is no room for plus ones” “You're invited to an exclusive and intimate party,” which can be worked into the what portion of the invitation. This is especially important if guests are expected to bring something to the party, such as with a pot luck. Otherwise, you can mention if you plan to serve a meal, snacks, or just drinks, and that way guests will know if they should come hungry, peckish, or full. You can also use this time to ask guests to inform you about any food allergies or dietary requirements that they have. Ask them to let you know when they RSVP. For kid’s birthdays, you may want other parents to stay, or you may prefer that they drop their children off and leave. In case you don’t want parents to stay, you can simply say “Please pick your child up at 5:00 p.m.,” or whatever time the party will...

TL;DR in English: Mention the dress code. Ask guests to pay attention to special instructions. Indicate if guests shouldn’t bring additional guests. Inform guests of the food situation. Indicate if parents are expected to leave or stay at a child’s birthday. Mention if it’s a surprise.

The majority of women are wearing the wrong sized bra. If your bra isn't the right size, then you will have trouble putting it on because it won't fit your dimensions correctly. Here are some easy signs that say that you're wearing the wrong bra:  If your breasts spill out of the top of the bra. If the straps or band of the bra cut into you. If the bra feels incredibly tight—like you can't breathe in it. If the bra is so loose that the straps fall down no matter how much you adjust them. If you can comfortably fit two fingers between your side and the band of the bra. To get an idea of your band size, measure your under bust in inches, making sure the tape is snug, but not tight. If it is below 30" (76 cm), round up to the nearest even number. If it is above 36" (91 cm), round down. This is your band size If your under bust measures over 36" (91 cm), take a bust measurement while lying on your back. Average the two bust measurements, then calculate the cup size. To work out the cup size, lean forwards at 90 degrees and measure your bust loosely. Take the difference between the bust and under bust measurements, and convert into cup letters. For example, an A cup has a 1" (2.5 cm) difference, while a B cup has a 2” (5 cm) difference. This is the best thing to do if you don’t feel confident measuring your own bra size. Independent boutiques are generally the best places to get fitted because the fitters are specially trained. Department stores are generally not the best places to get fitted, as the employees often aren't trained well and sometimes use outdated measuring techniques. Go to several places to get a bra fitting done before purchasing a bra. You may have thought that you were a 36C all of your life, only to be told that you're really a 34D. Don't reject the measurements if the bra fits comfortably. Instead, try wearing a bra in the correct size and see how much better you feel. If you really aren't sure about the results of the fitting, try on as many bras as you can, or get another opinion from a...

TL;DR in English: Look out for obvious signs that your bra is the wrong size. Measure your band size. Measure your cup size. Go get a professional fitting. Trust the measurements. Measure your size once a year.

If you're currently undergoing menopause, or if you're a woman nearing menopausal age, you may be experiencing hot flashes and night sweats caused by hormonal changes. These symptoms are very common and will most often subside after menopause.  You can take some simple steps to help control your symptoms at home, such as exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, quitting smoking, and avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods. If your hot flashes and night sweats become intolerable, your doctor may prescribe hormones, antidepressants, or other drugs to help control your symptoms. Many commonly prescribed medications, including antidepressants, hormonal therapy, and hypoglycemic agents, can cause night sweats. If you suspect that your symptoms may be caused by a medication, talk with your doctor about your options. You may be able to switch to another medication, or your doctor may prescribe additional medications to help you manage your symptoms. Never stop taking your medication or reduce your dosage without first talking to your doctor. Anxiety can cause you to experience hot flashes because your body is telling itself that it is in danger, which causes your blood vessels to constrict. If you believe you are suffering from anxiety, see a doctor right away. A combination of therapy, medication, and exercise may help you control your symptoms. If you're experiencing night sweats that are not caused by your environment, you may have an underlying medical condition, such as tuberculosis or another bacterial infection. Be sure to discuss all of your symptoms with your doctor for a proper diagnosis. You may also have Idiopathic hyperhidrosis, which is a condition that causes the body to produce too much sweat for no known reason.

TL;DR in English: Diagnose menopausal symptoms. Talk to your doctor about your medications. Understand anxiety. Mention your symptoms.

It seems like a fun idea to be self-employed, working your own hours, but will it be cost-effective? Keep track of your expenses. Like a brick-and-mortar business, street sales depend upon good financial practices. If you're selling $200 bucks worth of ice-cream a day, that's great, but not if you're spending $300 on organic milk. After calculating your expenses, price your products so that you'll profit. Don't forget to calculate the cost of labor. Your time is one of the biggest expenses you have in street sales. Account for it. In the beginning, you may make less than you hope, so you'll have to balance out what's possible to sell and what's possible to make. What's your story? Even though you're not going to be paying for prime-time commercials like Pepsi, it's still helpful to give some thought to the way you present yourself to the consumer. If you're a mother-daughter jewelry operation, name your business something that resonates with that experience. Consider promotional tactics, like buy-on-get-one-free sales to get the word out about your delicious tostadas, or play open-mic nights to let everyone know you'll be busking for dimes during the music festival next weekend. Free business cards are available online. Print some up with your contact information and a description of your business. Customer service is where a business fails or succeeds. Even if you've got the best wood carvings in the tri-State area, nobody will buy them if you treat their presence like an inconvenience. Consider what to do if someone doesn't like your product. What if your perfect caricature, which you've just spent an hour laboring over, makes the customer mad? Will you try to make them pay? Will you offer to draw another one free, losing out on the cost of materials? Consider possible no-win scenarios to practice before you have to confront an uncomfortable scenario. Your appearance should match the customer's expectation of the service. If you're selling food, you need to look clean. Even if you're playing dirty blues on...

Massaging your dog regularly is a great way to examine his body for sore spots that might need attention from a vet. Take note of lumps or bruised areas that you haven't noticed before. Pay special attention if your dog yelps when you touch him in a certain spot. If you notice something alarming, take your dog to the vet to have it checked out. The best way to feel for lumps is to run your hands over your dog's body in a smooth, long stroke. Feel the stomach, legs, chest, and back. Make sure you don't miss any spots.

TL;DR in English: Feel for lumps and areas that are inflamed.

The first line of defense for keeping your brass pieces clean is to regularly dust them using a soft rag. After dusting your lacquered brass, dip a soft cotton cloth into a mixture of mild dish detergent and lukewarm water.  Wring out the cloth so it's only slightly damp, and gently wipe the brass surface clean. Once you have cleaned the surface, use a wrung out cloth dipped in clean water to remove any remaining soap, and then dry the brass piece thoroughly. If you are trying to remove tarnish that has accumulated underneath lacquered brass, you need to remove the layer of lacquer first. Hot water softens the lacquer layering covering brass. Place the brass piece in a sink basin, and pour hot water over the brass. The hot water will heat up the brass, making it expand. The lacquer will expand with the brass. However, when the brass starts to cool down, it will slightly shrink, but the lacquer won't shrink with it. Once the brass is cool, the lacquer should be slightly separated from the brass surface, and can easily be peeled away. You could also try boiling your brass in water to remove the lacquer, depending on the size of the piece. All you need to do is immerse the brass piece in a non-aluminum pot with boiling water, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, carefully take the brass piece out of the water, let it cool, and peel off the lacquer. Place the brass piece on a table that is heavily layered with newspapers. The newspaper will help protect the workspace by absorbing any varnish remover drippings. Consider using a paintbrush to thoroughly and evenly coat the brass piece with the varnish remover. Once you have applied the remover, let it sit for a minute or two, and then wipe away the varnish remover with a soft cloth. Be sure to consult the instructions found on the container of varnish remover.  Be cautious and follow the manufacturer's cleaning guidelines, because varnish remover is made from strong chemicals that could be dangerous. Protect your skin and wear rubber gloves when handling varnish...

TL;DR in English: Clean your lacquered brass piece. Remove the lacquer with hot water. Remove the lacquer with varnish remover. Polish the brass. Consider polishing your brass with commercial cleaners. Consider alternative brass cleaners. Protect your brass from future tarnish.

What pairs better with a bathing suit than a pair of sandals? Choose either a flip-flop or strappy pair, and slip them on your feet after you lay out or swim. You can choose neutral-toned sandals for daily shoes, and you can go with embellished or colored sandals for evening looks. These pair great with shorts and skirts, for example. Wedges are shoes that have a sole that also acts as the heel. They are usually 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm) tall, and they easily add some glam to your outfit. Wear wedges with casual looks and nighttime looks if you want to lengthen your legs. For example, wear a pair of cork wedges around the pool, or wear wedge pumps with your one piece and maxi dress. For a casual footwear option, choose a pair of lightweight sneakers, like Converse or Nike. Pair these with your one piece and shorts for a daytime look, or throw them on with a pair of skinny jeans for a night out. Either way, you’ll be comfortable and stylish in sneakers! These are great if you are exploring the beach town or going on a bike ride. They all shield your eyes from the rays while also adding a stylish accessory to your outfit. Hats are fashionable and functional when paired with a one piece.  Baseball caps look great with one pieces, shorts, and sneakers for a tomboy style. Wear straw hats for a beachy vibe. Go with slouchy hats if you want a stylish look but you also want some shade. Pick a pair of sunglasses that suits your style! Oversize glasses look great with girly, flirty outfits. Rock aviator glasses with casual or tomboy outfits. Go with cat-eye shaped sunglasses for retro or vintage styles. Before you head to the beach, throw on your sunglasses to add a stylish accessory! If you are wearing your one piece for a nighttime look, you can wear your sunglasses on your head for a beachy touch, if you’d like.

TL;DR in English: Wear sandals if you want to go with a casual, relaxed style. Throw on a pair of wedges for a flirty, streamlined look. Slip on a pair of sneakers for a sporty, on-the-go style. Choose from caps, flat-brimmed, or slouchy hats for shade and style. Choose oversize, aviator, or cat-eye sunglasses to complete your look.

From zombies to princesses, Halloween costumes fit right in for the Time Warp. The flashier and zanier the better, whether that's piles of pink ruffles and glitter, or skeleton face paint. One of the dancing characters from the Rocky Horror film version, Columbia, has the flashiest costume of all. Cover yourself in gold or rainbow sequins and glittery makeup to imitate her. Bonus points if you wear a glittery top hat and fishnet stockings, or cover your eyebrows with makeup. The characters Janet and Brad are the quiet, "normal" people caught in a group of strange people, which means their costumes are usually easier to imitate. Dress as Janet by wearing a light pink dress and a white sweater, plus a sun hat. Dress as Brad with "hipster" clothing, for instance a tucked-in button-up shirt, khaki pants, and combed-back hair. At many performances of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, where the Time Warp dance comes from, people might make fun of you for wearing stripes. This supposedly references a scene in the movie when someone wearing a striped shirt was caught on camera accidentally, but it's a tradition of it's own at this point.

TL;DR in English:
