Use wet wipes to wipe yourself down. Give yourself a sponge-bath. Use dry shampoo on your hair to keep it fresh. Apply baby powder to your body after you wipe yourself down.

Although evening makeup can be more dramatic, you don't want to end up looking like a clown. It's all about balance.  A good rule of thumb is to pick either the eyes or the mouth to dramatize. Dark smoky eyes? Choose a neutral lip. Dark red lips? Choose a lighter palette for the eyes. You don't want your eyes and lips to be competing for attention when people look at you. Choosing one or the other to highlight is a more sophisticated choice, usually.

TL;DR in English: Pick your eyes or your mouth.

When trying to date online, don't filter out guys based on height. You might be filtering out someone who's actually perfect for you just because he's a few inches shorter than you'd like. In fact, try not to specifically mention a height you want in your profile, as it can turn some people off.  For instance, if you mention your height or you say, "Only tall guys!" many guys may figure you don't want to date them and move on, even great guys. The same is also true in real life. Don't dismiss a guy who's striking up a conversation with you just because he's an inch or two shorter. That is, many women feel like they need to be with a taller guy because they feel insecure about their own size. Having a taller guy makes them feel smaller, and subsequently, more feminine. However, how you feel about yourself shouldn't be based on how your body relates to your guy's body. You need to feel secure in your own body to feel secure in a relationship with a shorter guy.  Start by thinking about why you're finding it hard to be with a shorter guy. Does he make you feel too large? Are you embarrassed to be taller? Spend some time exploring your feelings. Try to change your thinking. Being shorter than a guy doesn't make you more feminine. It doesn't make you a giant to be taller than your boyfriend. Only you can decide if you feel feminine (if that's what you want) or unfeminine. Spend some time affirming yourself in the mirror. You could say, "I love the soft wave of my hair." Building your confidence this way can help you get over some of your insecurities. That is, maybe you shouldn't wear your tallest heels if you're going on a first date with a short guy. That doesn't mean you should slouch--own your height. However, there's no need to draw attention to the height difference by adding more inches. Also, try to skip any comments about the height difference unless he brings it up with a joke. Just like you probably don't like people cracking jokes because you're tall, he probably doesn't like hearing jokes about how...

TL;DR in English: Skip the filter. Check your insecurities. Play it cool on a date. Don't crack jokes about his height. Work on your bias.

All aerobic activity has positive effects on circulation and health. One research study concluded that moderate exercise improves blood circulation to the brain in older women. Walk for 30–50 minutes at a brisk rate of speed, three or four times per week.  The results of the study indicated as much as 15% higher blood flow to the brain. Many studies suggest a connection between exercise and overall brain health, though there's no definitive research suggesting that increased blood flow may prevent or reverse cognitive decline. Aerobic activity is any physical activity that causes you to breathe harder, and raises your heart rate. Swimming, bicycling, dancing, and even sex are all aerobic activities. Find one that best suits your lifestyle, and engage in it with enthusiasm! It's not necessary to commit to a lengthy exercise session to reap the benefits of walking. Taking short walks will also help increase the blood flow to your brain. Even a walk of three to five minutes will have a positive effect on your blood's circulation.  Use a timer throughout your day to remind yourself to take walking breaks. If you work at a desk, schedule short walks. Take advantage of naturally occurring opportunities to walk. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park at a distance from your destination. Get off the bus or train before your exit, and walk the remainder of the route. Stretching improves overall circulation, and prevents stiffness in the joints and muscles.Set aside a few minutes every hour to stretch your body.  Stretching increases blood flow to the muscles. While it's not possible to truly "stretch" your brain, by enhancing blood flow throughout your body, circulation will improve and increase.  Simple stretches that result in increased blood flow to the brain include touching your knees or toes from a standing position. Alternatively, sit on a clean area with your legs outstretched, and touch your knees, shins or toes from this seated position. Be careful not to do anything that causes pain or discomfort in...

TL;DR in English: Exercise regularly. Take short walks throughout the day. Stretch during the day. Do yoga.

You can use scented moist towelettes or baby wipes, it's up to you. Use the wipes to thoroughly wipe down your armpits, privates and feet, as these are the areas most prone to bad odor. Then, use additional wipes to clean the rest of your body.  Use separate facial wipes to quickly clean your face. This may not have a significant impact on odor, but a clean face will help create the appearance of cleanliness. Facial wipes will also help prevent acne and other facial bacteria. You can use an actual sponge or a wet washcloth/towel to clean yourself. This is a great way to freshen up when you're in a hurry or when you don't want to waste water. Focus on your armpits, private areas, and feet first, and then give the rest of your body a wipe down. All you'll need is warm water, a washcloth, and a bit of soap to freshen up. If you don't wash your hair, it might get a little bit greasy (which can look and smell bad). If you want to freshen up your hair, simply spray your roots with dry shampoo. Dry shampoos usually come in spray or powder form. The best dry shampoos soak up oil, clean hair, leave you smelling fresh, and provide a boost of volume to your hair. Giving your hair a freshly washed look and smell will help you appear to be well-groomed.  Choose a spray dry-shampoo for best results and easy application. Dry shampoos can be purchased online, at beauty stores, and at your local convenience stores.   It's sometimes necessary to comb dry shampoo through your hair to get rid of any residue. The baby powder will leave a nice scent and absorb extra oils.

TL;DR in English:


Contact your local animal shelter. Go to a training session. Decide what kind of kittens you want to foster. Bring the kittens home.

If you've fallen for a player it's likely that he's already talked to you and made you feel special. That's what players do, and chances are you are not the only girl he's talking to. A player will try to impress you with his outward appearance, his ego, and his money. Take some time to try and get to know him on a more personal level. Whether you are at a coffee shop or a bar, try sending a drink to his table. Make sure he knows you sent the drink over. The idea is to get him to approach you.  When he walks over to thank you for the drink, use the opportunity to strike up a conversation.  Don't let him make the conversation about sex. Try to talk to him about his friends, or what he likes to do. Pay attention to what he says, and be wary if he starts to lead the conversation in the wrong direction. Rather than asking questions, speak in sentences. Tell him what you should do. Don't ask him if he wants to join you, tell him what you should do together. If you know he is free on a certain night of the week, make a suggestion that the two of you go out. Try telling him something like, "We should go get a bite to eat, or maybe grab a drink." Keep it casual, and take the pressure off the situation. Buy two tickets to a concert or a movie, and mention it when you talk to him. Say something like, "I was supposed to go see this band on Saturday with my friend, but she can't go anymore. You interested?" Be careful taking a player into crowded spaces, especially bars. Just because he came with you doesn't mean he won't be talking to other women. If you're just not up to the task of asking him out, drop a few hints to let him know you'd like to spend more time together. Mention a movie you've been wanting to see, or a club you've been wanting to go to. Don't be too obvious about it. Let him think it was his idea all along.

TL;DR in English: Be on guard. Send him a drink. Be direct. Lure him in using an extra ticket. Make him ask you out.

Swim class is often inconvenient; it involves undressing, showering, getting wet, and then getting dressed again, all while you’re still at school and in front of your friends and peers. Plan ahead before you leave your home that morning, and you’ll be able to minimize the inconvenience that comes from swim class.  If you have gym class earlier in the day, consider wearing your swimsuit under your clothes so you don’t have to change when you get to the locker room. If you’re a girl, consider tightly braiding your hair in the morning.  No guarantees, but it may keep your hair dry. Avoid wearing tight clothes such as skinny jeans, since these are harder to put on after getting out of the pool. Always lock your belongings in a locker with a combination lock.  Practice using the lock until you can confidently open it without looking at the code. Your goal should be finding something that’s comfortable, practical, and efficient in the pool. You’ll need to wear the same swimwear for as long as your swimming unit lasts, so find something that you enjoy wearing.  For girls, choose a swimsuit that you feel comfortable in and that lets you move freely in the pool. For guys, you’ll need a pair of comfortable swim trunks. Avoid any that impair your movement or are excessively baggy, as these will slow you down in the pool. Consult your instructor and make sure that your planned attire follows any regulations in place. Make sure that, if you wear shorts that are not intended for water (basketball shorts, running shorts, etc.) that they have a very secure waistband, or preferably a drawstring. You don’t want to lose your shorts in the pool. As long as your school allows them, goggles are a practical part of every swimmer’s attire. You should have a high-quality pair that will keep the water out of your eyes. This will help you focus more on your swimming, and less on the distracting feeling of water in your eyes. When you wear your goggles, make sure that they’re not too tight across the nose. Goggles should be snug around...

TL;DR in English: Plan ahead for your day. Consider the swimwear that you plan on wearing. Purchase a good pair of goggles. Prepare your bag with necessities. Bring tampons if you’re menstruating. Pack your things in a duffel bag. Enjoy yourself!

Sock drawers, pillowcases, and the area under your bed are all pretty obvious places. Think about the hiding places you would search first if you were looking for something, then steer clear of those. When searching for something, people tend to look in the most obvious places first. If you hide something in such a place, someone is sure to find it. If someone seldom visits a room, then they are not likely going to come across whatever it is that you are hiding. For example, if no one ever goes into the basement or the linen closet, then those are safe hiding options. Some bad examples include:  If your sister comes into your room to use your lotion every morning, an old lotion bottle probably isn’t the best hiding spot. If your roommate likes to borrow books from your bookshelf, you should probably hide your secret notes elsewhere. This is important if you want to take out your secret items often. If getting to your hiding spot could cause a loud avalanche in your closet, attracting the attention of parents and snooping siblings, you should probably pick a different location. In the same way, you should be able to reach an item without taking everything out of your drawers or tearing up your bookcase. If you have many different hiding spots, keeping track of all your goodies could get confusing. Write a simple note in your phone or computer to help you remember. If you want to write down your hiding places on paper, you’ll need to hide the paper, too.  Keep your note vague to throw off nosy family members. For example, if you hid a secret letter in the pages of the book Tom Sawyer, you could simply write “Tom” in your notes to remind you. You can also use little tricks to help you remember your hiding spots. If you hid your money in the pocket of a green shirt in your closet, you could think: “Money is green, and so I hid my money in the green shirt.”

TL;DR in English: Avoid common hiding places. Pick spots where your family members or roommates are least likely to go. Go for places that you can access pretty easily. Remember your hiding spots.

Almost all shelters provide fostering opportunities for members of the community and would really appreciate your help. Before you can foster, however, you need to get approved by the shelter and fill out all the necessary paperwork.  The best time to find a fostering opportunity is spring (otherwise known as kitten season). This is the time when most kittens are born and end up homeless at the animal shelter. During this time, the shelters are often overcrowded with newborn kittens, and could use your help. Most shelters will want verification that you are at least 18 years old, have space for a kitten, that you are allowed to have a kitten (if you rent your home), and that you can pass a criminal background check. You may need to go to a training session where shelter staff will explain in depth how to take care of the kittens. This training is especially important if you are going to foster any kittens with special needs, such as a kitten that is ill or needs rehabilitation from an injury. Once you have been approved to foster and you have done your training, it may take a while before you get your first kittens to foster. It all depends on what the needs of the shelter or rescue are at the time. Ask the shelter what kind of kittens they have available. There are two different kinds of foster kittens: kittens with a mother cat and orphaned kittens. Caring for young orphaned kittens less than three weeks of age can be very demanding, as you are providing for all of their needs. Kittens with a mother are much easier to care for.  If you foster a kitten that has a mother you will also be taking in the mother cat. The mother cat will do almost all of the work, including nursing, cleaning, keeping the kitten warm, feeding, and stimulating the kittens' bowels. If you are fostering for the first time, you will probably want to ask the shelter for kittens that have a mother. Without the mother, kittens face a far higher risk of becoming ill and dying. Make sure you bring a pet carrier or get one at the shelter, as...

Fold the napkin in half into a rectangle and lay it down so it faces you widthwise (with one of the shorter edges nearest you). Fold up the bottom inch of fabric. Then, fold that one-inch fold back underneath itself. Continue folding the serviette back and forth on itself in an accordion style. Leave three to four inches unfolded when you get to the top.  Turn the napkin over and fold it in half lengthwise. Take the two open corners from the unfolded napkin and fold them diagonally to the accordion folds. Tuck the corners into the pocket between the two layers of accordion folds. Pick up the napkin by holding the open ends of the folds together and place the other end on the table. Spread open the accordion folds to create the fan. Fold the serviette in half twice to create a smaller square. Position it in a diamond orientation with the open corners at the tip of the diamond (and the folds nearest you). Fold the top layer down in half, bringing the top tip down to match the bottom tip.  Fold the next two layers down in a staggered fashion like you did with the diamond fold. Leave the last layer unfolded. Fold the sides of the diamond in to the center. Flip the serviette over. Place utensils in the pouch. Fold the serviette in half diagonally and point the open tip toward you. Fold the tip over so it overhangs the original fold by an inch (like with the rose). In a lengthwise fashion, accordion fold then entire serviette. Hold on to all the layers at the base of the accordion and place the base of the serviette in a glass. Fan out the top of the folds so they extend over the sides of the glass. Follow the first few steps of the pyramid: fold the serviette in half diagonally with the tip facing away from you. Fold the left and right sides in to the center to create a square shape with a seam down the middle. Flip the napkin over with the bottom tip facing you (and the open tips facing away).  Fold up the bottom third of the napkin. Flip the napkin over again. Fold the left side diagonally to the center and a...

Ask the average person what a "smooth guy" is like and you'll probably get an answer along the lines of, "He's impeccably handsome, cool, confident, and well-dressed, with tons of masculine hobbies and interests." While the first four items in this list can certainly be a big help in the dating game, the last is hardly the end-all-be-all it's often made out to be. Don't feel a need to conceal or lie about the things you like to do. If you're geeky, be unabashedly geeky. If you like to do something really bizarre, like watch syrupy French romance films from the silent film era, don't hide this fact — it's super cool to like something unique! Being 100% honest about how you like to spend your time makes you seem genuine and confident and distinguishes you from everyone else around you. Clubs, singles bars, and other traditional dating "hot spots" are great for people who are in their element when the music's blaring loud and everyone around them is drunk. For everyone else, it may be much easier to meet people elsewhere. For starters, try meeting women at places and events that you naturally enjoy attending. For instance, if you like exercise and the outdoors, you might want to try running in a popular park. By using this approach, you're more likely to meet women that you have things in common with than you would be simply visiting a local club. We've all heard it before: "Be yourself and you'll go far." This age-old advice is a little cheesy, but when it comes to smooth operators, it's completely true. Smooth guys don't follow others when it comes to defining themselves — they do what they want to do and present themselves how they want to be presented and let others judge them as they see fit. Having your own unique personal style makes you hugely more interesting and memorable than trying to be someone else's idea of "cool", so being yourself isn't only easier than being trendy, it's also smarter if you're trying to win people over. One way to immediately and visibly differentiate yourself from other people...

TL;DR in English: Don't be ashamed of your interests. Look for women where you naturally hang out. Have your own style. Be open and sincere. Love thyself before loving others.

The more information you have, the more likely you'll be able to stay calm when it happens. Your first period will probably be very light, and may not even look like blood. It may appear as bright red drops in your underwear, or it could be brownish and sticky. Don't worry that you will be gushing blood, either; during an average period, a woman will only lose about 1 oz. (30 ml) of blood. That's about the same amount of liquid as 2 bottles of nail polish.  Talk to your mom or older sister. They may be able to give you an idea of when you will get your period. It's not always the same, but often girls begin their periods around the age as their mother or sisters did. If you can't talk to a mom or older sister, talk to a school nurse or trusted friend who has already gotten her period. When your period comes, you may notice a feeling of wetness in your underwear. You may even feel liquid flowing out of your vagina, or you may not notice anything at all. If you have a blood phobia and you're worried about how you'll react, try thinking of it this way: this isn't blood like from a wound or injury. The blood from your period is actually a sign that you're healthy. The drugstore or grocery store usually has an entire aisle dedicated to feminine hygiene products (pads, tampons, pantyliners). Don't be overwhelmed by all the choices; as you get to know your flow, you'll have a better idea of which product works best for you. To start out, look for pads that aren't too bulky or noticeable and has light or medium absorbency..  Pads are probably the easiest thing to start out with; you'll have enough to think about without worrying about how to insert a tampon. Practice putting a pad in your underwear before you have your period. If you notice discharge in your underwear, use that to figure out where the middle of the pad should be.  Some websites offer coupons or even free samples or period "starter kits" for you to keep on-hand. If you'd rather use a tampon or a menstrual cup during your first period, that's...

TL;DR in English: Know what to expect. Buy supplies. Store pads in your backpack, purse, gym bag, and locker for emergencies. Notice changes in your body that might indicate your period is coming soon.

Learning how to create a clean vibrato with all 4 fingers will take some time – particularly with the weaker pinky finger. Your second or third finger is typically the best finger to start with when you're learning vibrato. Some accomplished violinists aren't able to create a strong vibrato with their pinky finger – so don't worry if you can't do it with all 4 fingers right away. Although it's less common for a skilled violinist to have trouble with the first finger, there are some who still have difficulty.

In most areas, you need a business license with a valid tax ID before you can buy wholesale products. To apply for a license, speak to your government’s licensing board. You will need to fill out an application explaining your business, such as what you are buying and your plans to resell the items to other customers.  You can usually apply through your government’s website. Organizations such as the Small Business Administration in the U.S. can help you with this.  For tax purposes, get a federal employee ID number. You can do this by registering your business with your government’s tax department. For example, visit the IRS’ website, if you’re in the U.S., and fill out a form describing what your business does. If you purchase wholesale products for yourself, you don’t need a license. You may also be fine without a license if you don’t buy a lot of products or sell them often. Visit your government’s licensing board or their website to begin your application. You will need to supply your business license, tax ID, and a description of your business. With a resale certificate, you can avoid paying for sales taxes. All you have to do is show the certificate to the seller.  Without a certificate, you pay the sales tax when you purchase wholesale items. If you have a license, your customer has to pay the sales tax when they buy the item(s) from you. Like with business licenses, you do not need a resale certificate unless you plan on reselling wholesale items. If you do plan on running a business, having a certificate saves you money. Purchasing wholesale goods can take up a lot of space. If you plan on reselling merchandise and make frequent purchases, you may soon end up finding yourself overwhelmed. Clear out some space in your home, such as in your basement or attic, so that you can keep the items.  Some of your items may not sell right away. Count on having enough space to store items for a several months at a time. Many professional resellers rent out storage warehouses. Look for some empty storage...

TL;DR in English: Get a business license if you plan on reselling wholesale items. Apply for a resale certificate with your government to avoid taxes. Find a place to store what you buy. Start off with sample units until you want to buy more of a product. Order items in higher quantities to save money. Request an itemized list of what's on the pallet or truckload. Inspect shipments to make sure you received what you paid for.

If you prefer your spread to be chunky or don't mind a little grittiness, then you can skip this step. Otherwise, hold a fine sieve over a bowl and carefully pour the mixture through (you might want to get someone to hold the sieve so you don't spill any of the delicious spread). If your spread seems to thick, you can add a little extra oil to make it more spreadable. Allow the spread to completely cool to room temperature before covering.  Store in the refrigerator or on the counter at room-temperature. It may last longer in the refrigerator, but may need to be warmed before use to get the right consistency.  If you live in a warmer climate, store it in the refrigerator. Consider pouring the spread into several small jars and giving them as gifts to your friends.

As unfair as it may seem, part of what depends on whether your parents give permission is the mood you're in when they ask. If they're already upset about something before you approach, it's almost guaranteed that they will say no. This is because they do not want to deal with any added stress. One thing you might do is see what you can do to help your parents out before asking. That way, they'll be in a better mood, and you'll have proven yourself deserving in their eyes. Asking your parents can be stressful depending on the kind of relationship you have with them, but it needs to be done calmly. Above all else, you need to say it in a way that isn't going to make it sound like a negative interaction. If you go into it with a pessimistic mindset, it's all the more likely your parents will deny you.  It can be good to offer a few details before asking the question. This can help avoid a quick "no." Say something like this: "My friend is having her birthday tomorrow, and wanted to have a pizza sleepover to celebrate. Would it be okay if I went over there and spent the night tomorrow?" Sitting down next to them while you ask can be a helpful trick, as it will make them feel less rushed in their decision. If possible, it's a good idea to ask the question a couple of days in advance. Parents are usually more likely to react positively to a request in advance, rather than a last-minute plan. If parents are feeling nervous about letting their child out for the evening, giving them all the details will put them at ease. Giving them a run-down of the plans and things they may want to know will be a great help. Being honest and upfront about it will give you the highest chance of getting their permission. Here are some things you should tell them:  Where you'll be staying. Whether you're planning on leaving your friend's house at some point in the evening. What kind of parental supervision is expected. This is a big one. Whether anyone else will be the home. That includes siblings of your friend or other relatives....

TL;DR in English: Make sure they're in a good mood first. Pop the question. Give them all the details. Tell them sleepovers are healthy. Ask about their main reason for concern. Leave contact info. Suggest that the sleepover happen at your place. Ask for a sleepover once you're over. Make a set time for drop off and pickup.

Although doctors used to recommend a firm mattress for bad backs, research suggests that medium-firm mattresses are best. If your mattress is too soft, place a sheet of plywood between your mattress and box spring or place your mattress directly on the floor. Medium-firm mattresses are especially beneficial if your hips are wider than your waist. However, opt for a firmer mattress if your hips and waist are equal in width. A foam mattress topper can add support to your back and keep your spine aligned. If you have a foam topper hanging around, place it on top of your bed so your back can remain in a neutral position. Although sleeping on your back may seem counterintuitive, it is the best way to reduce pain.  Sleeping on your back keeps your head, neck, and spine in a neutral position. Try this position first to relieve pressure on your back.  Sleeping on your back may induce snoring because it can constrict the airways.  Resting on your back can also induce sleep apnea—if you've struggled with apnea in the past, you may want to choose a different position. Lying on your side, with your torso and legs approximately aligned, can ward off back and neck pain simultaneously while elongating your spine. Because it keeps your airways open, it can also prevent snoring. Choose this position if your sore neck does not find relief from sleeping on your back. Side-sleeping is also useful for relieving hip pain. Avoid curving your back as much as possible to prevent additional pain. If you sleep on your back, place one pillow at the base of your back and one underneath your knees. For side sleepers, place a pillow between your knees to keep your hips aligned. This will help your body maintain your spine's natural curve, preventing muscle or tissue aggravation. Sleeping in the fetal position, with your torso hunched and knees bent, is the most common sleeping position. It can, however, cause a sore back if you have arthritis or sore joints. If you usually sleep in the fetal position, place a pillow in between your knees...

TL;DR in English: Use a medium-firm mattress to reduce pressure on your back. Try a mattress topper to keep your back in a neutral position. Sleep on your back to alleviate strain on your spine. Sleep on your side if lying on your back doesn’t work. Keep your head, neck, spine, and hips aligned. Use pillows as support if you sleep in the fetal position. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Use a horseshoe-shaped pillow while sleeping upright.

Show those around you that you care by offering them assistance when they need it. Help them without expectation of repayment so you can feel connected to them in a generous way.  For example, you may go see a family member who is feeling ill or unwell. Bring food for them if they are too sick to cook. You can help your neighbor by trying things like shoveling snow for them or taking care of their pet while they are away on vacation. You can also spend time with a friend dealing with a recent break up. Cheer them up by inviting them out or by taking them on a special friend date. Look online for local organizations and charities in your area that need volunteers. Pick up a volunteer shift at your local homeless shelter or women’s shelter. Donate your time to a charity drive or at a local arts festival. Volunteering your time can help you feel connected to others in a positive way. Volunteering is also a great way to meet like minded people and make new friends or acquaintances. This can broaden your social network and make you feel less alone in the world. You can also put your money towards a cause you believe in. Give a donation to a local advocacy group in your area or to a national campaign that speaks to your goals and values. You may try donating money to a worthy cause once a year or once a month, based on your income. Look for mentoring programs in your area at local community or arts centers. Check your local schools for mentoring programs where you work with young people. Try mentoring in a program like Big Brother, Big Sister, where you are paired with a young person and act as their mentor.  You can also mentor others by being a volunteer tutor at an after school program. Some alumni associations at colleges and universities have mentorship programs for students to connect with professionals in their field of interest. Give back to your local economy by frequenting local businesses in your area. Seek out local businesses and support them by spending your money there. Get to know local vendors so...

TL;DR in English: Help a neighbor, friend or family member in need. Volunteer at a local organization. Donate money to a worthy cause. Become a mentor. Shop at local businesses.

Spinach is extremely cold-hardy and fares well in these mild to cold climate zones. This cold-weather crop prefers temperatures between 35 and 75℉ (1 and 23°C). Savoyed varieties are characterized by their dark green crinkly leaves. They are best for planting in the fall because they become especially crisp in cold weather. Smooth-leafed spinach grows upright and produces leaves lighter in color than those produced by savoy spinach. It grows quickly and easily and is the perfect addition to any summer salad.

If you are drawing a cartoon girl, keep the face narrow and feminine During this phase, keep in mind the proportions of a face. For example, a face is generally five eyes wide. That being said, you can also manipulate proportions to reflect the girl's character traits. If the character is innocent, this can be

Sketch a round shape to start drawing the head. Sketch the shape of the cheek by adding a point at the bottom. Sketch the eyes, nose, and mouth. Sketch the details for the eyes, face, hair, and clothes. Refine the sketch. Draw the outline over the sketch to finalize the artwork. Erase and remove the sketch marks. Add color if desired.

Prepare two sponge baking pans measuring 20cm round. Grease the sides and line the base with baking/parchment paper. Cover a wire baking rack with parchment paper. Add the butter, vanilla extract and sugar to the mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture becomes fluffy and light. Beat them into the mixture. Then beat in the milk. Stir in each batch of flour thoroughly. Divide the batter evenly. Bake for 30 minutes. Tip the two halves out onto the wire rack to cool. Turn them over to have the top side facing upward before leaving to cool. Spread the jam over the top of one half once cooled. Place the other half onto the jam covering to sandwich the two together. If you like, whipped cream can also be piped on top of the jam. If wished, you can dust with icing sugar to complete the look. Cut into slices for serving.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the sifted flour, a half amount at a time. Transfer the sponge cake batter to each pan. Place the cake pans into the oven. Remove from the oven. Transfer the base half to a serving plate. Serve.

Beetles have wings, but they are covered by 2 hard wing coverings. This is what gives a beetle its distinctive hard-shelled look. The hardened wing coverings on a beetle’s back are also the reason why a beetle will make a crunching sound if you accidentally step on one. If the insect is a beetle, its wings should not be visible unless the coverings are lifted up and the wings are extended. Beetles have sharp mandibles (chewing mouthparts) so they can consume other insects, plant matter, fungus, and decaying plants and animals. Look at the underside of the insect’s mouth to see if they have sharp-looking mouthparts. If the insect has a long, straw-like protrusion, then it is not a beetle. Beetles have 6 legs distributed between their front and back body segments. When they are in their larval stage, the legs are all on the front of a beetle’s body. Otherwise, the legs are spread between the front and back  segments. Count the insect’s legs and check their location to determine if it is a beetle. If the insect has 4 legs, 8 legs, or more, then it is not a beetle.

TL;DR in English: Look for 2 hard wing coverings on the insect’s back. Check for chewing mouth parts on the underside of its head. See if the insect has 6 legs.

Pick a powder that is either translucent or close to your natural skin tone. Make sure the product is advertised as a finishing or setting powder and not powder foundation.  Powder that matches your skin tone will give extra coverage when concealing blemishes. However, it has the tendency to look thicker than translucent powders. Translucent powder can match all skin tones and looks less caked on compared to tinted powder. Just be sure to blend translucent powder extra well, as flash photography can make it stand out.  Like most types of powder makeup, setting powder can be either a loose or pressed powder.

TL;DR in English: Choose the right powder.

Since you are drawing a cartoon girl, keep the face narrow and feminine During this phase, keep in mind the proportions of a face. For example, a face is generally five eyes wide. That being said, you can also manipulate proportions to reflect the girl's character traits. If the character is innocent, this can be reflected in giving her large eyes. Clothes are another opportunity to show character traits, occupation, and time period. For example, an edgy, 21st-century  teen isn't going to wear the attire of a 15th-century monk.  To trace the outline make sure to use a pen that will not smear while the sketch is being erased or the drawing colored.  Keep in mind, there is more visual interest if colored  Try to limit your color pallet in order to not give the viewer a headache. If there are too many highly saturated colors, the viewer will not know where to look and may think your art is tacky.

Compare prices. Compare warranties. Purchase the best bow you can afford.

Synthetic fabrics such as polyester, lycra, and spandex can look tacky and unnatural. Opt instead for high quality fabrics, like silk, wool, or cotton. Good quality fabrics may cost more, but they will usually last longer and make a better investment overall.  Read the care labels on an article of clothing before buying it to see what you will have to do to take care of it. If you can't invest in regular dry cleaning, be sure to forgo items that say "dry clean only" on the tag. Hand wash and air dry delicate materials like wool, which may sustain damage in the washer and shrink in the dryer. Flashy, bright colors may be bold, but they do not convey a classy image. Go for classic, neutral colors like black, white, beige, or navy blue. Sticking with these colors will make it easy to mix and match your clothing without the risk of looking gaudy. Clothing that is form-fitting without being tight will fit your body best and make you look put-together. Your sweaters, blazers, shirts, and blouses should follow the curve of your waist, while pants should fall about .5 inches (1.3 cm) off the ground at the back. Bring your clothing to a tailor to have the necessary adjustments made. Most alterations will cost between $10-15. Wrinkles will make you look unkempt and work against your classic look. Always take the time to make sure your clothes are wrinkle-free before going out. Carefully use a steamer or clothes iron to remove wrinkles. Aim for subtle, classic jewelry like small silver or gold hoop earrings, a pearl necklace, pearl or diamond stud earrings, a delicate pendant necklace, a tennis bracelet, or an elegant watch. Avoid wearing too many rings, and only wear them on your middle or ring fingers. Dress up your classic wardrobe with one standout accessory, such as a colorful silk scarf or a beautiful pair of shoes. Stylish well-made shoes in neutral colors are a great investment as they will go with a variety of different outfits. You can also spice up your shoe collection with one or two pairs of "fun" shoes,...

TL;DR in English: Go for high quality fabrics. Choose neutral colors. Wear tailored clothing. Steam or iron your clothing. Wear minimal accessories.

The first step in becoming a green business is understanding your business's current carbon and ecological footprint. Just as you can calculate your personal carbon footprint (for example, at http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/), you can also calculate how your company is impacting the environment.  In order to estimate the carbon footprint of your company (and to see how it compares to other companies within your sector), you will be required to provide information about your business, including information about your facilities, employees, travel, and procurement to an online website.  By knowing your carbon footprint, you can set goals for becoming carbon neutral. In order to become a green business, you will need to identify which of your business practices are in need of “greening.” For example, airline flights are one of the biggest causes of carbon emissions in the world. Is it possible for you to implement more efficient travel into your company's business plan? Decide what parts of your business you can reasonably make more “green”, and set out a strategy for improvement. You should set goals in regular increments; for example, where do you want your business to be in one year? Two years? Five years? Ten years? You should look to improve more and more with each passing year. Some of the practices that will make your company more green may conflict with your previous business practices. For example, you may be able to source a raw material for a product from a cheap overseas producer; however, in order to be green, you should look to see if you could source the material locally, even if it is more expensive. Realize that you may have to adjust your business strategy and/or budget when becoming a green business.

TL;DR in English: Determine your ecological impact. Identify practices that require improvement. Set goals for improvement.

Your thesis is the central argument of the paper. Every following sentence must be written with the intention of supporting this idea.  An effective thesis should attempt to elicit a strong response from the reader. A reader should not finish the introductory paragraph and think, “So what?” Be prepared to change your thesis as often as possible. As you generate new ideas and make new logical connections, the scope of your paper will likely change and as a result so should your thesis. List anything that you believe is related to the argument, including quotes from primary and secondary sources. Take a look at the list of ideas you’ve generated and begin to organize them into groups. A sound argumentative essay will have a hierarchy of ideas that follows a logical progression. When grouping your ideas, keep in mind how each group relates to the others.

TL;DR in English: Start with the Thesis. Brainstorm. Group related ideas together.

Check the prices of the different bows you've tested. Remember that the highest-priced bow is not necessarily the best one.  A fiberglass bow should cost about $20 to $50.  A Brazilwood bow should cost between $50 and $200.  A pernambuco bow could cost between several hundred and several thousand dollars, with antique French bows at the high end of the range.  A carbon fiber bow should cost about $300. A new violin bow will often come with a warranty covering defects or other problems. These warranties usually will not cover replacement of the hair.  If you are buying a bow brand new, consider your warranty options. Bows are expensive and you don't want to have to pay to replace yours if it turns out to be defective in some way. Used and vintage bows will probably not have a warranty. Taking into account quality, cost, and warranty, select the best bow you can afford. Take it home and start playing! If you are still uncertain about which bow to buy, some stores will allow you to take a bow home and try it for a few days.

Put down your first sheet of plywood at the corner of one end of the roof. Make sure it’s lying horizontally across the exposed rafters, and that the edges are flush with the edges of the end rafters. Drive a nail into each corner of the plywood to hold it in place temporarily.  Most constructions experts recommend using 7⁄16 in (1.1 cm) oriented strand board (OSB) for small-scale roofing projects.  Plywood sheathing will provide structural support for your new roof, as well as give you a flat, stable surface to attach your other roofing materials too. to fill in any gaps in the sheathing. Plywood is sold in large sheets, which means that you’ll most likely need to use multiple sheets and cut them to fit. Try to cover the remaining space using as few pieces as possible, starting from the lower portion of the roof.  It’s important to cut your plywood so that the end of each section covers half the width of the rafter it’s resting on. That way, the neighboring section will fit in easily beside it, and you’ll have a nice solid surface to nail into.  Make all your cuts with your plywood oriented the same way to ensure that the strand grain is running in a single direction. A consistent grain pattern will increase the strength of your roof sheathing. Drive nails every 6 inches (15 cm) through the face of the plywood and down into the rafter below. Work your way up the length of each rafter from the bottom edge. When you’re done, look for any loose sections of plywood that may require additional nails.  For the sake of caution, do your fastening from your ladder, reaching as far as you can safely with your hammer or roofing nailer. The combined strength of the OSB and supporting rafters will be capable of withstanding weights of up to several hundred pounds. Once you have the sheathing in place, your final task will be to mount fascia boards to cover the exposed ends of your rafters. Cut your 2 in (5.1 cm) x 4 in (10 cm) or 2 in (5.1 cm) x 6 in (15 cm) to match the length of the shed. Fasten the fascia boards by...

TL;DR in English: Cover your rafter trusses with plywood sheathing. Measure and cut additional plywood Fasten your plywood sheathing to the rafters using 8D finishing nails. Cut fascia boards to finish the edges of your roof.

Before freezing your zucchini noodles, it’s important to dry them out as much as possible. Moist zoodles will lose their shape and texture when stored for a long period of time, leading to a soggy, unappealing mess when you thaw them out.  You can make zucchini noodles at home or purchase them from select health food stores. Thin zoodles tend to preserve better than thick or wide zoodles. Measure out approximately 1 US tbsp (15 ml) of kosher salt for every 2 cups (17 imp fl oz) of zoodles you have. Then, pinch the salt between your fingers and sprinkle it over the zucchini noodles, covering as much area as possible. The salt will help preserve your zoodle’s texture while in storage. Using your hands, squeeze the zucchini noodles and turn them over in the bowl. Do this repeatedly to make sure the zoodles and salt mix together. As you knead, add more salt to cover any bare zucchini noodles. By the end, you should see salt grains on every single zoodle. As you knead your zucchini noodles, expect a lot of moisture to seep out. As it does, your zoodles will firm up slightly and a bubbly mixture will begin to form on top of them, making the whole bowl appear soapy. Keep turning your zucchini over until all the zoodles feel fairly tough, a process that normally takes between 2 and 3 minutes. Grab a colander that is large enough to hold all your zucchini noodles. Line the inside of the colander with a fresh cloth, towel, or other thin fabric, then place it over a sink or large bowl.  Put your colander in a secure place since you’ll be letting it sit there for a while. Avoid thick pieces of fabric as you’ll have a harder time draining them. Carefully move your zucchini noodles into the colander. Make sure the zoodles sit completely inside the piece of fabric, then wrap the edges up around them to create a makeshift bag. Before moving on, check to make sure that every zoodle ended up inside the bag. If necessary, hold the cloth bag shut using pins or clamps. Grab the top of the cloth bag with 1 of your hands and...

TL;DR in English: Set your zucchini noodles in a large bowl. Sprinkle kosher salt over your zoodles. Knead your zoodles thoroughly, adding more salt as necessary. Turn your zoodles over until they bubble up and become firm. Line a colander with a fresh cloth or towel. Wrap your zoodles in the cloth. Squeeze the cloth to remove excess moisture. Let your zoodles dry for at least 1 hour.

Push in the oven knob with one hand so you can turn it and keep holding it until you have lit the pilot light. Turn it to the left to the “ignite” symbol or the first temperature setting. Every oven model is different, but there should be either a little picture of a flame or the start of the temperature numbers right in the middle of the dial on the left hand side. This is where you want to turn the knob. Light a long match with your hand that isn’t holding the oven knob, or use a lighter with a long tip (like a BBQ lighter). Slowly move the flame towards the pilot light hole until it lights. If you only have small matches, you can light one and drop it into the hole to be safe. Another alternative is lighting a twisted up piece of paper or a wooden skewer to use as the lighter. You need to let the pilot light heat up for about 10 seconds before you adjust the temperature. The pilot light will just go out if you try to change the oven’s temperature too soon. If you accidentally let go of the knob and the pilot light goes out, then you should turn everything off and start from the beginning. Shut the oven once you are sure the pilot light is staying lit. Turn the oven knob to the temperature you want to set it at. If you have tried this process several times, and still can’t light your gas oven, there may be a problem with the pilot light and you should call a professional to come take a look at it.

Every player rolls two dice to start.  The player who rolls the highest number gets to select his or her color and take the first turn. There are four colors included with the Base Catan 3-4 player set: red, blue, white, and orange.  After the player with the highest dice roll has chosen his or her color, have everyone else choose and then begin the turns. Turns progress in a clockwise manner. The first player places one of his settlements at an intersection, where three terrain hexes meet, the adjoining hexes are the resources he will earn if the number on that hex is rolled (so choose wisely!). Next, he places one of his roads on one of the three possible places next to his first settlement. The next player then takes her turn in the same way, but must place her settlement in a different area.  Roads must always be placed where two hexes meet and border the player's settlement. A settlement cannot be placed on an intersection adjacent to another intersection occupied by a settlement. There must be enough space for at least two roads between each settlement. The last player gets to place two settlements and two roads (one for each settlement) and then going counter-clockwise, the first players place their second settlement and second road until each player has two settlements and two roads down on the board. After all players have placed both of their settlements and roads, you all get some resource cards to start. Take one resource card for each hex tile that is adjacent to each of your two settlements. For example, if one of your settlements is bordering a wheat, lumber, and sheep tile, then you get to take one wheat, one lumber and one sheep card. Do the same for your other settlement.

TL;DR in English: Determine the turn order. Place the first settlements. Place the final settlements. Get your first resource cards.

Every laptop is different; even two models that cost the same will have different hardware inside. Make sure to take a look at the specifications of each laptop you consider purchasing. The CPU, or Processor, is the piece of hardware that performs the bulk of the work in your laptop. CPU speed doesn't mean as much as it used to, thanks to multi-core CPUs that can handle much more than processors from a decade ago.  Avoid older processors like Celeron, Atom, Pentium, C-, or E-Series processors. RAM, or Memory, allows your computer to store data for multiple programs at once. In general, the more RAM you have, the better your computer will be able to multitask. 4 to 8 GB of RAM is standard for regular laptops. Netbooks will likely have less, while desktop replacements might have significantly more.  Retailers often disguise an otherwise mediocre laptop by stuffing it with RAM. Most users will not need more than 8 GB. Most laptops use integrated graphics cards, which are fine for simple games, but typically can't handle the new big releases. A dedicated card will provide more power for a higher cost and less battery life. Listed storage space does not take the operating system and bundled programs into consideration. For example, a laptop with 250 GB of storage may only have 210 GB of storage free when you purchase it. Most laptops allow you to upgrade the hard drive later, though you will need to reinstall the operating system when you do so.  SSD is becoming standard and is preferable due to increased access speed and extended battery life. As a result SSDs are more expensive than standard hard drives for less storage. SSDs are often smaller than standard drives, meaning you may need an external drive to store all of your media files. Does the laptop have enough USB ports for all of your devices? Does it have an HDMI or VGA port in case you want to connect it to your TV or a projector? If you use a lot of external devices, ports will be very important. Many laptops will leave the optical drive out in order to...

TL;DR in English: Examine the specs for each laptop you consider. Understand what the CPU does. See how much RAM comes installed, and how much RAM the laptop can support. Check the graphics. Check the storage space. Check out the ports. Look for optical drives. Look at the screen resolution.

Everyone has different ways of communicating, but some styles make it more difficult to say what you mean, mean what you say, and avoid being mean.  Passive people tend to avoid speaking up and avoid confrontation. They give in easily to and have difficulty saying “no,” for fear of being mean.  Aggressive people tend to be emotionally honest, but express this honesty in an inappropriate way. They overreact and belittle others in interactions. They are loud, accusatory, and unwilling to listen to others’ viewpoints.  Passive-aggressive people are not clear about what they truly want, need, or feel. They are indirect, make promises and commitments they cannot keep, give people the silent treatment, and use sarcasm. They may come across as judgmental. Think of typical situations in which you are having trouble speaking up. Imagine what you’d like to say to the other person. Take time to gather your thoughts.  Write down what you’d like to say. Practice with a trusted friend. Role-play with a trained professional, such as a counselor, who can give you honest and objective feedback. “I want…”, “I feel…”, and “I need…” are helpful ways to get across your feelings clearly and directly without blaming the other person for something. These are especially helpful when you need to convey negative feelings or have an uncomfortable conversation. You can use this formula in virtually any situation: “When you do [action], I feel [emotion], and I need [action].”  Make sure not to use bad language or be vulgar; that will make the relationship worse. If you want to address a problem with a coworker, try saying, “When you leave work for three-hour lunches, I feel burdened with finishing up the research on our project. I need more time with you to do this together.” If you want to express a concern to a friend, try saying, “When you repeatedly cancel plans with me at the last minute, I feel sad and disappointed. I need more notice if you’re going to cancel.” If you use appropriate body language, your message will be better...

TL;DR in English: Avoid unhealthy communication styles. Practice speaking in front of a mirror. Use appropriate language. Use appropriate body language.

A missed period is usually the first sign of pregnancy. You should track your menstrual cycle to know roughly when to expect your monthly period. If you do not experience your period within this time frame, this can be an early sign you're pregnant. About a quarter of pregnant women experience nausea as the first sign of pregnancy. You may feel sick to your stomach at certain times of the day. Strange smells may easily trigger feelings of nausea and sickness. Implantation bleeding sometimes occurs just after pregnancy, possibly due to a sperm attaching to an egg. Some women may mistake this for a very light period, but it can be a sign of pregnancy if you are also experiencing other symptoms.  Implantation bleeding or spotting is much lighter than your regular period. You may only notice it when you wipe. The color also may differ from a regular period. It may be more pink or brown-colored than usual. Pregnancy can cause unexpected physical discomfort. Usually, this takes the form of mild uterine cramping as well as tender, sore breasts. Like many symptoms of pregnancy, these are often similar to pains you may experience just before your period. During pregnancy, your kidneys produce extra fluid due to increased levels of blood in your body. Many women notice increased urination during pregnancy. If you find yourself using the bathroom more often, this could be an early sign that you are pregnant. Just after you become pregnant, it's normal for your body to produce up to 25% more urine. The increase in urine will peak at 10-15 weeks of pregnancy. After that, you'll likely feel increased urges to urinate, as the additional weight of your uterus and growing baby press down on your bladder. Breast tissue is very sensitive to your hormones, so your breasts will show signs of pregnancy early. You may start to experience tender, swollen breasts as early as 2 weeks after conception. It's normal to feel a tingly sensation and soreness. Your breasts may also start to fill full and heavy.

Using wood glue, you can add anything your heart desires. For a rustic look, you can add little twigs, pebbles, twine, fake leaves, and anything else you can think of. For a flashier look, try gems or other sparkly objects. A fully painted pot looks great, but leaving portions of unpainted terracotta showing through can provide a neat contrast. It will be recognizable as an ordinary, every day terracotta planter, but with a little extra pizzazz. This looks great when the pot is positioned with unpainted terracotta pots, as it ties the arrangement together. You can use duct tape to create bold, straight-edged designs, and you can also free hand with your paint to create gentle, flowing patterns. You can create a one-of-a-kind pot by using both kinds of designs on one pot!

TL;DR in English: Use adhesive to add some 3D decoration to your pot. Leave sections unpainted for contrast. Try geometric designs, organic patterns, and even try combining the two.

An interviewer might not always ask for a specific example. He might say something like, "Tell me about how you handle conflict in the workplace?" Do not take this as an invitation to be inexact. Always use specifics when discussing conflict.  Talk about what strategies you use and why they work. You should use concrete examples, even if you don't launch into an entire narrative. Try something like, "I try to see things from other people's perspective. For example, if I'm working with someone from a more creative background I try to make sure they have the time and resources they need to complete a project."  Talk about what tactics you use in communication to resolve conflict. Do you listen actively? Do you express yourself in a transparent way? If so, how? Go into further detail. Your interviewer is going to be seeing a lot of candidates and you want to make sure you stay memorable. Even if you were frustrated by a situation, it's considered bad form to speak negatively of a co-worker or employer. Always try to present the conflict in a fair manner, even if you still think you were right, and do not use disparaging language. Employers value loyalty and if an interviewer sees you're quick to bad talk your former place of business he will not want to hire you. Let's go back to our example. You may be tempted to say something like, "Ramona made it difficult because she was lazy about deadlines." Try to phrase that in a more positive light. For example, "Ramona's creativity was her priority, which was helpful for our design department but as a result she occasionally forgot deadlines." An employer may ask a variety of questions about conflict, so you should not just have one example of resolving a conflict on hand. Before you go into an interview, think of a variety of times you handled conflict at work. As always, stick to win-win situations where the conflict was resolved and you learned something in the process.

TL;DR in English: Be specific. Avoid using negative language when speaking about a company or co-worker. Have several examples ready.

The first thing you should do after an accident is remove yourself from harm's way by getting off the roadway and out of traffic. Distance yourself from anything that may cause you additional harm, such as:  A vehicle that is leaking gasoline. A vehicle or structure that is on fire. Damaged structures that could collapse. Roadside cliffs or drop-offs. Call 9-1-1 immediately if you or anyone else involved in the accident is hurt. Very few motorcyclists walk away from accidents without some kind of injury, and some of the most serious injuries are not readily identifiable. As such, you should seek medical attention even if you believe you are not hurt.  Although less common than injuries to the lower and upper extremities, injuries to the chest and abdomen from motorcycle crashes tend to be more serious. This is due to the potential for organ damage and/or internal bleeding from blunt-force impact to the midsection. Lower extremity injuries are the most common type of motorcycle crash-related injury. These often involve bone fractures and are usually not fatal if dealt with properly by medical professionals. Although it may be difficult to maintain a calm demeanor when you have just been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you do not do or say anything that could make the situation worse in any way or indicate culpability. For example, do not:  Argue with other parties involved in the accident. Assign blame for the accident. Physically engage others in a hostile manner. Intentionally inflict additional damage to property. This is only necessary if emergency services (9-1-1) were not contacted. Except in very minor incidents (such as those that result in no injuries and minimal property damage), law enforcement may be needed involved in order to:  Control traffic. Record details of the accident. Determine whether immediate legal action is required. It is important that you remain at the site of the accident long enough to exchange relevant information with all parties involved and/or law...

Add 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water to a saucepan or small pot. Heat this on your stove on high until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar is dissolved. Then add your favorite Kool-Aid to the mix and stir until the Kool-Aid is completely dissolved. You should wait until your Kool-Aid syrup is completely cooled before you use it. This kind of syrup can often be kept in the refrigerator for up to a month. This natural syrup can be made from your choice of fruit juice mixed with water. You should combine the two in a 2 to 1 ratio; 2 parts fruit juice to every 1 part water. For example, for every 2 cups of fruit juice, you should add 1 cup of water. You may notice that natural syrups have a slightly different taste than out-of-the-box flavors. You may need to thin the mixture with water to make it suit your tastes. You'll need a sugar free flavoring packet, like Crystal Light or Everly, but you could also use a mix of Kool-Aid and Splenda. Add these together until you achieve your desired flavor. Drizzle this on your snow cone and enjoy. This special preparation of snow cone can be made with sweetened condensed milk and your choice of syrup. Sprinkle your choice of syrup over your shaved ice then add sweetened condensed milk liberally until you reach the desired level of sweetness. You may find this works easiest when using a squeeze bottle or a container with a spout.  An example recipe you might try at home uses 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk, 2 cans of chocolate syrup (or 2 squeeze bottles), 8 cans of evaporated milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Combine these ingredients in a bowl, chill the mixture, and then you can drizzle it over your crushed ice. You can adjust the amount of syrup and sweetened condensed milk to suit your tastes. Another alternative you could use in place of sweetened condensed milk is marshmallow fluff.

TL;DR in English: Create a Kool-Aid syrup. Make a natural juice syrup. Mix a sugar free syrup. Make a New Orleans Style snow cone.

When purchasing masonry paint, be sure to take into account the unique needs and conditions of the surface you’re painting. For instance, flexible acrylic paints expand and contract to adjust to drastic temperature changes, while paints with dirt and mildew-resistant additives will cut down on regular cleaning and maintenance.  You can find masonry paint at any hardware store or home improvement center, or in the paint aisle of superstores like Walmart. Stucco has a far greater surface area than smoother finishing materials. For this reason, it's a good idea to pick up extra paint just to be on the safe side. If a bucket promises 400 square feet (37 m2) of cover, you may only get 200 square feet (19 m2)  It's not typically necessary to use a separate primer, as stucco is a porous material that holds paint well. Line windows, door frames, light fixtures, and the edges of gutters with painter’s tape. Having a buffer in place will allow you to work quickly and efficiently and prevent paint from ending up where it’s not supposed to be. If you’re painting a surface that’s partially indoors or alongside a paved walkway, it's also a good idea to stretch out a dropcloth or tarp to protect the ground from drips and spills. Don't forget to tape the edges of the dropcloth to hold it in place. Whatever container you use should be big enough to accommodate a roller, as this is the tool you’ll be using to color most of the surface. Place the bucket or tray on a flat, stable part of your work area so it will be nearby when you need to reload your roller. To avoid wasting paint, only pour out as much as you need at one time and refill your bucket or tray as you go. Glide your roller back and forth across the surface in smooth, straight lines. Work your way from one end to the other, overlapping the edges of previously-painted sections as you go. To ensure optimum coverage, use both vertical and horizontal strokes.  A lambswool roller is ideal, as it will hold its shape throughout prolonged paint jobs while cutting down on...

TL;DR in English: Pick up a bucket of masonry paint in the desired color. Mask off areas you don't want to paint. Pour your paint into a large bucket or tray. Roll the paint onto the stucco. Fill in the gaps with a handheld masonry brush. Allow the paint to dry for the recommended amount of time. Apply a second coat with your roller if desired. Allow the paint to cure for up to a month.

Begin the personal narrative by drawing the reader in with a strong opening sentence. Use rich description and detail in the opening. Start in action so the reader is grabbed right away and keeps reading. For example, the first line in the personal narrative by Tony Gervino is attention grabbing: “I was 6 when my brother John leaned across the kitchen table and casually whispered that he had killed Santa Claus.” Ground the reader in the story by providing information on the main characters and the central conflict or theme. Tell the reader where the narrative is taking place and when it is taking place. Explain whether the story is about you and/or you and your relationship with someone else in your life. For example, in Tony Gervino’s essay, he sets the scene by providing setting, character, and narrative voice: “It was July 1973, we were living in Scarsdale, N.Y., and he was four years older than I was, although that seemed like decades.” Do not jump to different moments in time or move from a past event to a present event and then back again in the same paragraph. Go chronologically from event to event or moment to moment. This will make it easier for the reader to follow along with the narrative. For example, you may start with an event in childhood with your older sister and then move forward in time to the present day, focusing on you and your older sister as adults. Focus on how things smelled, sounded, tasted, felt, and looked in the scene. Paint a vivid picture for the reader so they feel immersed in the narrative. Try to describe moments in the narrative based on the speaker’s perspective. For example, you may describe the feeling of your mother’s famous lemon cake as “rich and zesty, with a special ingredient that to this day, I cannot identify.” Most personal narratives end with a reflection or analysis of the events. You may come up with a moral that you share with the reader based on your own experiences. Or you may leave the reader with a takeaway thought that illustrates what you learned from...

There are several cost-effective choices for neutralizing chlorine bleach (commonly sold under the brand name Clorox), which is the kind used in washing and for decorating or changing the color of fabric products. It also contains sodium hydroxide (lye) to stabilize the hypochlorite.  The lye is difficult to rinse out completely and will slowly destroy cotton. To fully neutralize the lingering effects of chlorine bleach the hypochlorite and the lye must be neutralized, too. If you’re using bleach for decorative effects on cotton, denim, or other natural fabrics, you can try one of these options:  Bisulfite/metabisulfite is very inexpensive. It is sold under the brand name Anti-Chlor, and you only need to use a small amount to neutralize bleach. You can usually find bisulfite at dye suppliers or you can get Camden Tablets (which have the same ingredient) from a wine brewing supply company.  Thiosulfate, which is called Bleach Stop, can typically be found at a local photography supply store, as it is commonly used in developing photographs. This is a more expensive option than bisulfite, and it’s not as strong so you’ll need to use more.  Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid: Ascorbic acid neutralizes both the hypochlorite and the lye.  You will find it in most food stores or pharmacies under its common name, vitamin C.  Yes,  get the cheapest vitamin C you can find and grind the tablets up into powder to dissolve in your rinse water. Hydrogen peroxide is the most easily obtainable of the neutralizers; you can find it at drugstores and grocery stores. This is an inexpensive choice, and it works well for people with asthma, who may be sensitive to the other compounds, which contain sulfur. Opt for the 3% solution. The amount of neutralizing agent required will depend on which one you’ve chosen.  Anti-Chlor: use 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) per 4 cups (950 mL) of water.  Bleach Stop: 1 ounce by weight (30 grams) per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.  Vitamin C/Ascorbic acid: Crush up 4-6 tablets and add the powder to enough water to submerge...

TL;DR in English: Buy a neutralizing agent. Measure your neutralizing agent. Bleach your fabric. Rinse the fabric. Soak the bleached fabric in neutralizer. Wash and rinse.

Casual nicknames that you call a friend may give them the impression that you are not interested in them. Instead, try to call them pet names that convey that you think they are special or attractive. This will help transition your relationship from friendship to love.  For instance, call them something like "sweetheart," "cutie," or "gorgeous." Avoid casual names like "buddy," "pal," or "dude." Friendship means a certain level of familiarity and comfort that may not scream "romance." Aim to impress them the same way you would try to win over a blind date or a cute stranger. Add intrigue to the relationship to keep and increase their interest. For instance, dress up for outings the same way you would for a romantic date with someone you are just getting to know. A good way to shift your relationship from friendship to romance is to change your routine together. Create excitement by spending time in situations or places you have never been to. Avoid having "dates" that involve activities you did together as friends, such as playing video games or sports. For example, go out for a romantic candlelit dinner or share a bottle of wine instead of ordering a pizza. While you may have done many activities together as friends, a shared getaway is a distinctly romantic thing to do. Plan a small vacation for you and your partner to spend some one-on-one time together. Whether it is a short road trip or a more elaborate getaway, the experience will bond you on a new level. To avoid potential conflicts, start by going away for a few days at a time with your partner then build up to longer trips.

TL;DR in English: Start calling them nicknames that are flirty or affectionate. Put effort into impressing them despite your comfort with them. Pursue more romantic activities while you are together. Plan a romantic trip together to celebrate your love.

You will need to know how big of a truck or container you need when you start researching moving methods. Estimate the amount of space you'll need by measuring your big pieces of furniture, and then estimating the amount of boxes you will have and the space they will take up. Typical moving trucks are about 8 feet tall, stacking boxes strategically will save you space.  It's best to overestimate rather than underestimate so you end up having enough room for all of your things. Calculate the volume of your boxes by multiplying the Length X Width X Height for each box and then multiply by the number of boxes you will be packing. Moving trucks and storage units provide dimensions in Cubic Feet. Knowing the approximate volume of space your items will take up will let you know how large of a moving container you will need. There are many different ways to move your things in a long distance move. Research different companies and methods to find which fits your budget and is right for you.  Hire a moving company to load your things on a truck and drive it to your new home. Movers will then unload your things into your new home. Rent a storage container. Many companies will drop a storage container at your home a few days before the move for you to pack your belongings into. They will come pick it up and put it on a truck to ship to your new home when you are ready to move. Once there, they'll drop it at your new home for you to unload yourself. Rent a moving truck. Some companies let you rent a moving truck to pack and drive yourself. This can sometimes be the most cost-efficient method, although you will have to consider the cost of gas.Typically there are several different sizes of trucks to choose from as well as an option to tow your car behind the truck. In order to move your belongings quickly across country, air cargo may be an option. Contact freight carriers to obtain quotes for air cargo. Most moving companies will have an option to purchase insurance for your move. It's a good idea to get the insurance...

If you are splitting normal-sized wood, unless it is unnaturally knotty or a kind of wood resistant to chopping (like elm), you likely won't need to use a wedge. If the wood is tough and several axe swings leave cuts, cracks, but no clean split, it's time for you to get some more tools. When an axe alone simply can't do the job, it's time for you to get a long metal wedge and a sledgehammer. You can purchase these from your local hardware store or perhaps even borrow these from a neighbor. Even if your axe didn't pass all the way through your piece of wood, chopping it cleanly, if you landed a few hits, there will probably be at least some deep cuts in the wood, or maybe even a crack. Look for the deepest cut or crack in your wood; this is where you will split the wood. Some especially large or difficult pieces of wood may require more than one wedge. As the wood will be softer than your wedge, you probably won't have a problem jamming the wedge into the cut or crack that you've chosen for your split. If you're attempting to cut an especially hard kind of wood, you may need to tap your wedge into place with your sledgehammer. Using the same form as you did with your axe, keep your legs shoulder-width apart, your dominant hand close to the head of the sledgehammer, your eye focused on the wedge, and bring the hammer into position above your shoulder. Allow your dominant hand to slide down the handle of your hammer toward your stationary non-dominant hand, and bring the hammer quickly and firmly down on the wedge.  This should drive the wedge more deeply into the piece of wood, causing the cut to turn into a crack or the crack that was already there to deepen. You may need to swing your hammer multiple times to drive the wedge deeper into the wood. Sometimes, the wedge will cause the knot to break apart in a clean split, other times you may have to apply some muscle to pull the mostly split piece apart. In some cases, you may need to use your axe to carefully sever any connecting pieces that remain.

Look at the offices you can hold in your county, city, or town so you know what your options are. Pick an office that you’re passionate about with duties that you’re able to manage easily. Some common local positions include mayor, treasurer, city council, and school board president. Check the duties of the positions you’re interested in to see if they’re something you want to do.  For example, if you’ve previously worked in finance, you may run for treasurer. If you have a law background, you might choose to run for city counselor or law director. Each city or county may have different positions and duties. Be sure to check your local elections office or website to see specific information for your area. Make sure to determine whether the position you're running for is partisan or non-partisan. If you want a partisan position, you may need to affiliate with a political party or run as an independent. Think of 1-2 sentences about why you want to run for local office. Incorporate what values you hold or things you want to change for the better. When other people ask you why you want to run, be consistent with your message so you aren’t telling others different things.  For example, if you want to run for the school board, your message may be, “To help children learn through the most effective practices.” Take firm stances on what you want to accomplish or else you might not be taken as seriously. Each position has different qualifications, but many require you to be a certain age and to have lived in the area you’re running for a specific amount of time. Visit your local elections office or their website confirm that you qualify for the position you're running for. The full list of requirements for running in your area may be posted online on your local election office’s website. Some offices require you to get support from local voters in order to run in a local election. Look at the requirements from your local election office to see what forms and petitions you need to provide. If a petition is required,...

TL;DR in English: Choose the local office you want to run for. Develop a simple message that describes why you want to run.

You should not change your looks or personality to fit into a stereotype. Alternative models often have piercings and tattoos, but you should not alter your appearance just to become a model. You should change hair or acquire body art because you desire them, and/or because they are meaningful to you. Alternative models typically look alternative on a daily basis, rather than dressing up for photo shoots. If you are under 18, you must have a parent’s permission before getting a piercing or tattoo. There are several categories of alternative models. Some of the categories are similar, but some require completely different looks. Some categories are emo, hipster, punk, Goth, Lolita, burlesque, and for the heavily tattooed, a walking piece of art.  Goth and emo are each distinct styles, but they share many similarities. Goth and emo styles are both known for black clothing, black or brightly colored hair, dark makeup, and a lot of accessories, like chokers and corsets. Punk is a style that is related to Goth and emo, but it is more focused on punk music, like band t-shirts and vests with pins attached.  Hipster style has become very popular in recent years. “Hipsters” often wear flannel shirts, ironic shirts, beanies, and skinny jeans. Men often have beards, and women sometimes dye their hair in pastel shades.  Dita Von Teese is perhaps the most well known celebrity that wears a burlesque style. Burlesque is a style deriving from the 1800s, and it is often associated with stripteases. Velvet clothing, red lipsticks, corsets, garters and stocking, and high heels are associated with burlesque style.  Lolita derives from Vladimir Nabakov’s Lolita that was originally popular in Japan, but it is now popular all over the world. It is typically a “cutesy” style that strives for the wearer to appear youthful, like a young girl.  The fashion is not just for females either, as there are other genders who like to dress up in Ouija style or just in the elaborate dresses as well. Don’t be afraid to dress in a way that...

TL;DR in English: Don’t change yourself for the wrong reasons. Decide what type of alternative model you want to be. Dress to stand out. Try an unnatural hair color. Embrace tattoos and piercings. Be accepting of your body type.

The air around you is pressing against you and every other object, with a pressure as high as 101 kPa (14.7 pounds per square inch) when you're at sea level. This would normally be enough to crush a can by itself, or even a person! This doesn't happen because the air inside the soda can (or the material inside your body) is pushing outward with equal pressure, and because the air pressure "cancels itself out" by pushing at us from every direction equally. When the water in the can boils, you can see the water start to escape as little droplets in the air, or steam. Some of the air in the can gets pushed out when this happens, to make room for the expanding cloud of water droplets.  Despite the can losing some of the air inside it, it doesn't get crushed yet, because the water vapor that took the place of the air is pushing from the inside instead. In general, the more you heat a liquid or a gas, the more it expands. If it is an enclosed container so it can't keep expanding, it exerts more pressure. This is known as Gay-Lussac’s Law. When the can is turned upside down in the ice water, the situation changes in two ways. First, the can is no longer open to the air, since water is blocking the opening. Second, the water vapor inside the can rapidly cools down again. The water vapor once again shrinks down to its original volume, the tiny amount of water at the bottom of the can. Suddenly, most of the space inside the can has nothing in it at all – not even air! The air that's been pressing from the outside of the can this whole time suddenly has nothing on the other side to resist it, so it crushes the can inward. Space that has nothing in it is called a vacuum. The appearance of a vacuum, or empty space, inside the can has one other effect besides causing the can to be crushed. Watch the can carefully as you lower it into the water, and again as you lift it out. You might notice a small amount of water getting sucked up into the can, then trickling out again. This is because the water pressure is pushing...

TL;DR in English: Learn about air pressure. Figure out what happens when you heat the can of water. Understand how the can gets crushed. Watch the can closely to discover one more effect of the experiment.

This should only take 15 to 30 seconds if you are using a high speed setting. If the root beer freeze is not mixing evenly, pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the inside walls. You can get as fancy as you'd like here. For the ultimate treat, add a swirl of whipped cream onto each freeze. Top it off with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, a dash of sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry. Serve the root beer freeze immediately with straws and long, slender spoons.
