Holding events in the office will allow employees to discuss their work with each other, get to know other employees in different departments, and exchange their views and perspectives on their roles.  A study has shown that workplace relations play a crucial role in employee happiness; even more than employee/boss relations. As well, individual self-esteem will be boosted when employees hear about themselves in a friendly, positive light from their peers and co-workers. Keep in mind that many employees are more receptive to social events initiated by their co-workers, rather than by management. This will encourage cross-workplace ties among your employees and allow them to get to know each other outside of the office setting. A few minutes of the meeting, perhaps at the start, can be devoted to light-hearted conversations or listening to someone’s personal experience. This will help your employees look forward to meetings and stay engaged. Sometimes, small issues such as routine maintenance of common areas, or even the coffee machine breaking down can lead to distraction from the main focus and work of your employees. Address these smaller issues and promote smooth running of the office to limit your employee’s distractions and ensure they are working in a well kept, well run, and engaging space.

TL;DR in English: Organize office events, get togethers, and parties. Promote the office carpool and weekly office lunches. Start each meeting with informal conversation or small talk. Keep the office clean and well maintained.

atch the series again on DVD. After some time, all of the seasons of your favourite show will be available for home purchase. The most conventional way of this is to buy the DVD box sets. Having a concrete copy of your favourite show at home is great if you watch the show a lot and don't want to rely on a channel for it. Streaming services like Netflix also showcase entire shows. This makes streaming services perfectly suited for the "binge watching" that usually comes with watching a great show. Check online to see if your show is available as a free download. Some of the channel's websites will feature old episodes so people can catch up on their own time. If you were watching a show as it aired the first time, rewatching it will give you the opportunity to experience it without the year-long wait between seasons. You can watch a few episodes per night, or marathon entire seasons in a day if you want. As always, the most enjoyable way to do this is to do it in pairs or as a group. Watching a whole show together requires some common scheduling, but it will feel a lot less lonely. If you went ahead and purchased the show box set on DVD, you'll most likely have special features to dive into. Special features show the behind-the-scenes stuff in a TV show. Things like interviews, on-set documentaries and marketing spots all help to enrich your knowledge and appreciation of the show. If you look at everything that went into the making of a particular scene, you'll almost certainly have a greater appreciation for it the next time you put it on. TV tropes is a wonderful website for cataloguing tropes in TV and media. If you look up your favourite show on it, you can look for all of the listed plot devices that show used, and see how it ties in with the rest of pop culture. All of it can seem overwhelming at first to a newcomer, but the associations between your show and the rest of pop culture can be a ton of fun to research. There are few things as satisfying as getting a good friend into a show you're really...

TL;DR in English: . Watch the show again from start to finish. Digest the DVD special features. Look at the TV tropes page for your show. Convince new friends to watch it with you. Consider how your opinions on the show have evolved.

You are not the only person out there who is attracted to a fictional character. Chances are, you aren’t even the only person attracted to that particular character. Even without falling in love, many people can take emotional and verbal cues from characters they see portrayed in fiction. Romantic feelings are just one way fictional characters can affect our real life. Chances are you aren’t the only one in your circle of friends to follow a certain type of fiction. Even if they do not care for the exact book you are reading, or show you are watching, they will understand some of the feelings you have. Fantasy, creating a false world around your romance, is a normal reaction to love that has its limits. In this case, the limit is that the object of your affection does not exist. Your fantasy can take any kinds of forms. You may picture a physical relationship, or maybe imagine getting married and living your lives together. A more active imagination might even consider how the relationship would end, including divorce, combat, or death. All things are possible with your imagination. One way to express your love for a fictional character is to explore your feelings in writing. Create a story involving the object of your affection, and build a situation where the two of you finally meet.  Let your imagination run wild. If you are love with this character, consider what he or she does that attracts you, and depict them doing more of it. Include yourself, creating a world where the two of you can be together. If you’re more of a visual person, try sketching or drawing your fictional character instead. Visual work can be just as imaginative as the written word. Post your story to a website that publishes fan fiction. You can find sites that cater to general audiences, or serve fans of a particular book or show. This also gives you an opportunity to provide feedback for other people’s stories.  Just remember, if you are a character in your stories, to avoid posting personal details. You don’t want someone to be...

Choose between five and ten of your best pieces to highlight in your portfolio. Pick pieces that demonstrate the breadth of your work. For example, if you’ve worked on seating, tables, and lighting design, use examples from all of those areas. Show your best work first. For each piece, include your sketches and other prototypes that led to the final design of the piece. Show your CAD models, 3D prints, and the results of testing and interviews you might have conducted in developing each piece. This will make your portfolio stand out and provide invaluable insight into how you work. Show the finished product first. Add information about how you got to the final design second. Pick a clean design that showcases each piece. Also organize your material clearly. For example, you might want a clear photo of each piece to be a single page, followed by information about its design, form, function, and process.  Make sure your portfolio is easy to look through. Create an index so that specific work and information about your designs can be located quickly. Describe your work in a straightforward way, giving only the most pertinent information. Provide context to your work without being wordy or using long blocks of texts. These will distract from the visual nature of your work. Write short paragraphs or annotations for your sketches, models, drawings, and photos.

When using HTML, you always have to press ↵ Enter after creating a line of code to move onto the next line. This command indicates that you'll be creating a specific element of the table. Type in  to indicate a column, type in the label for the column, type in 	 to close the column, and press ↵ Enter. For example: to create a table column labeled "Number of Dogs", you would type Number of Dogs	 into your text editor. Depending on how many columns you want your table to have, this step will vary. Once you've added all of the columns that you want to use, proceed to the next step. Columns are created from left to right. This command indicates that all of the table's columns have been created and closes that section of the table's code. You'll now add your rows to your table. Type in  to indicate a piece of information below the first column, type in the information, type in 	 to close the cell, and press ↵ Enter. For example: to create a cell with the number "23" in it, you would type 23	 into your text editor. The number of cells in a row should correlate to the number of columns; for example, if you have three columns, you should have three cells in a row. Once you've created an entire row, you can proceed. Type in

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, egg whites, and salt. Make sure the mixing bowl is heat-proof, as you will be heating it in a double boiler-style.  If you have a stand mixer, remove the bowl and whisk the ingredients together right in the bowl. The purpose of the salt in this recipe is to break down the egg albumen, meaning the icing won’t have an eggy taste. Put one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of water into the bottom of a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium–high heat. When the water is boiling, place the mixing bowl over the pot in double boiler-style. Whisk the mixture constantly for about seven minutes. The mixture is done when the eggs are heated through and become thin and runny. Remove the bowl from heat. Immediately begin beating the mixture on high speed, and continue until the icing becomes thick and fluffy, about five to ten minutes. The icing will be the consistency of shaving cream when it’s ready, and it will hold its shape when you pull the whisk out.

TL;DR in English: Combine all the ingredients. Heat the mixture over a pot of boiling water. Beat the mixture.

You know exactly what you want, and more importantly, what you don’t want for your 40th birthday. By throwing a party for yourself you maintain control of the situation. You can determine the guest list, the food, décor, location and everything in between.   Pick a theme. This will practically guarantee fun. If you’re a 60s baby, choose a disco themed event and have everyone dress up in their favorite throwback bell bottoms. Create a playlist of the best music from the era and boogie the night away.  A casino night would make a memorable party too. Ask everyone to wear their best black and white attire and hand out fake cash at their door for betting. Hire a couple of card dealers to make it even more authentic and don't forget the prizes. Don’t get so lost in playing the host that you forget to have fun. Remember, this is your celebration so enjoy! No need to exclude them from all the fun. Involve the spouse and even the kids when considering ideas. Perhaps they already had some thoughts in mind, but if not, think of ways everyone can be part of the big day.   Head to a beautiful park and have the event catered by the best restaurant in town. This way, kids can go wild while the adults visit and reminisce. Split the party into two parts by having a festive lunch and cake with the kids during the day and heading out during the evening with close friends. Take the stress away by hiring a professional. Someone who does this full-time will come with an abundance of knowledge, tips and tricks to create the atmosphere you want. They will also ensure the night goes off without a hitch, freeing you up to mingle with friends and family.     Be as specific as possible to ensure you have the event of your dreams. Don’t forget about the budget. These things can sometimes get out of hand. If you are watching your pennies, make this clear to the planner and review all contracts and receipts prior to the day.

In order to open a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise, you must have a net worth of $500,000 and at least $250,000 in liquid assets. Having the necessary capital available is essential for applying to become a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise owner. The requirements for international franchising are slightly different, requiring at least $1,500,000 in liquid assets and $3,000,000 in minimum net worth as well as the intention and capital required to develop at least 20 restaurants. While you will be required to pay an initial franchising fee that ranges from $40,000 to $90,000 (depending on the type of unit you are looking to franchise), the costs will not stop there. You will also need to consider building and real estate costs, the cost of equipment and signs, the costs of licenses and permits, the cost of uniforms, the cost of insurance, etc. Expect to spend between $134,600 and $1,611,100 as your initial investment for a new restaurant. This does not include real estate costs. Dunkin’ Donuts looks for candidates for franchising that have prior restaurant management or food service operations experience. In addition, they look for candidates that demonstrate the ability to recruit, train, maintain, and motivate a high-performing team as well as experience managing profit and loss operations. Finally, they also want applicants who have an understanding of real estate development. You will want to thoroughly evaluate your prior business experience before applying to become a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise owner. The Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative offers a 20% discount on the initial franchise fee to qualified Veterans who purchase a Store Development Agreement for 5 or fewer stores. Dunkin’ Donuts was ranked #15 in the 2011 “Franchise500” ratings for most popular franchises, and is #4 on the top ten list of popular franchises for military veterans. Dunkin’ Donuts expects their franchisors to exhibit superior character. They focus on several key qualities found to be important to successful franchising. These qualities...

This will save you a great deal of embarrassment and unnecessary effort. Don't ask somebody out if they are in a relationship. Not only is it essentially guaranteed that they'll say no, but it is inappropriate, unfair to the person's boyfriend/girlfriend, and reflects poorly on your moral character. Decide beforehand what you will do or say if the person says no. This is especially important if you plan on asking out a friend, as it will reduce the likelihood of damaging the friendship.  Being prepared for rejection will help you avoid appearing physically defeated in front of the other person if the answer is no.  While you want to prepare yourself for the possibility of rejection, don't let it get in the way of your confidence. Rather, let it build on your confidence by accepting the fact that being rejected isn't the end of the world. This will help you think of a good idea for a date. If this person loves music, find out what kind and invite them to a concert. If they enjoy movies, then invite them to the theater, and so on. If you are too shy to do the asking in person, then consider sending a text, Facebook message, or email.  Text messages are a good option if you are too afraid to do the asking in person. This way, you will at least be able to hide your disappointment from the other person. If you  have just met the person and don't have their number, you will have to do the asking in person, but don't fret! Doing the asking in person is romantic and can be very rewarding if the person says yes.

TL;DR in English: Determine whether this person is already in a relationship. Be confident, but prepared for rejection. Find out what they like, if possible. Determine how you want to ask the person out.

Examine not only the value of current sales in the neighbourhood, but trends over time. Purchasing a home for resale in an area where the value of real estate purchases have been steadily increasing is a good idea. Purchasing a home in an area where the value of real estate has seen wild fluctuations or downward trends is risky.  The National Association of Realtors maintains extensive statistics and other data on home sales in the United States. Visit their website, http://www.realtor.org/, to conduct research on real estate transactions in the area where you are considering buying a home.. Many potential home buyers will value on access to good educational institutions, healthcare services, and recreational opportunities. The condition and proximity of everything from parks to doctor's offices to sporting facilities will potentially have an impact on the resale value of a home. Easy access to major roads and highways, as well as public transportation options, can increase the asking price of a home.  But keep in mind that a home located too close to noisy rail-lines, freeways, and high-traffic areas will not fetch top dollar. Accessible transportation links are desirable; direct adjacency to noisy transportation infrastructure is not.  As people around the world rely less on automobiles, buyers will increasingly value walkability and public transit.   Try entering the address of a home you are considering into WalkScore.com, an online service that rates neighborhoods based on access to public transit, and proximity to services and amenities. A home facing a parking lot or a strip mall will sell for less than a home facing a river or a park. However, keep in mind that not everyone is willing to pay for a view. In other words, don't count on a “good” view bringing in top dollar when reselling a property. But keep in mind that a “bad” view will create resale limitations.   Before purchasing a property, research whether there are any planned developments that might impact a home's view in the near future. If a...

TL;DR in English: Research the value of local real estate transactions. Evaluate the quality of local schools and medical clinics, as well as community amenities. Assess local transportation linkages. Consider the view.

This should be a last resort, because it can set a negative tone to the interactions between a mother and potential father. Even if you don't believe you are the father, if there is any chance you could be, you should try to preserve a respectful relationship with the child's mother. Unfortunately, sometimes legal action is your only option. If a mother refuses to determine paternity, a court can order a paternity test in order to gain visitation or custody rights, or to prove you are not the father in a situation where your name appears on the birth certificate. Laws vary by state, but in most states if you have signed an establishment of paternity and are paying child support or otherwise supporting a child that you believe is not your biological child, you can take certain steps.  In most states, you must file what is called a "Disestablishment of paternity" or "termination of child support obligation" in the circuit court that has jurisdiction over your child support ruling. You can find out your state-specific rights by contacting an attorney familiar with your jurisdiction. While mothers receive default custody under the law, fathers' rights are also important in the eyes of the law. Knowing your rights will help you determine the proper course of action.  In most states, you have the right to file a paternity case if you are not listed on the birth certificate or acknowledgement of paternity (a form that is usually completed by parents in the hospital at the time of birth). In some states such as Texas, if another man is listed as the child's father on the birth certificate, you can only file a paternity case if it has been 4 years or less since the birth; be sure to check your local laws. You can find out your state-specific rights by contacting an attorney familiar with your jurisdiction. Whether you are wanting to establish or disestablish your paternity of a child, the nuances of paperwork, court filings, and court appearances can be complicated. It helps to have a professional on your side who...

Most online courses have an online management system where you can log in, post the syllabus for the course, and monitor discussion boards on specific lessons or topics relating to the course. You should encourage your students to use the online management system to communicate with each other about course content and to post any questions or comments they may have about the course. If you do not know how to use the online management system for the course, you should speak to the institution that is hosting the course and get trained in the system. Being technically savvy will only help you better communicate and connect with your students. It will also allow you to be organized and present a clear picture of the course to your students. Once you have set up the online management system for the course, you should be prepared to monitor all student postings. Keep track of all student postings and check the discussion board on a daily basis. This will ensure you know what students are posting and discussing among themselves. If you notice a student posting hurtful or discriminatory comments on the class discussion board, you should address the situation right away. Remove the comment and email the student privately, explaining how the comment was inappropriate and why you removed it from the discussion board. Do not accuse the student of anything. Instead, explain your reasoning behind the removal and ask the student to reflect on his decision to post the comment. To keep your online students engaged, you should create detailed lesson plans for each class that have interactive activities and activities that integrate the students’ interests.  This could be an activity that uses video and audio examples that can accessed online, and then requiring students to respond to the example in a discussion post. This could also be an activity where the students work in groups online and collaborate on a group project or assignment. You could then require the groups to facilitate a class via video and to create a...

After you've uploaded your ad and submitted to the site, questions are likely to come in from potential buyers. Answer each one as promptly and as honestly as you can. If, for example, a potential buyer messages you and asks “Has the fabric of the couch faded at all?” you might respond by saying, “Hello! There’s very minimal fading towards the center of each seat cushion, but nowhere else on the rest of the couch. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I’ll be happy to answer them for you.” Many buyers will expect to haggle with you. You can lower the price or stand firm on it as you see fit. Keep in mind, you may sell faster if you are willing to come down a bit on the price. Once you've completed all of your steps, you've hopefully found a buyer. You can complete the transaction if you both agree on the price. For safety's sake, make sure to always have a friend around when a buyer arrives. Potential buyers are more likely to be interested in your furniture piece and follow through with the sale if you offer a delivery option. Even if you aren’t able to offer delivery, it’s a good idea to let interested buyers know right away that the piece is pickup only, so that they don’t realize this later on and back out of the sale.  Don’t forget to charge a little extra for a delivery service. This is understandable and typically expected, as you’ll be taking your time and using your gas in order to deliver the piece. Additionally, double check the agreed upon time and place if you’re meeting the buyer somewhere to give them the piece.

TL;DR in English: Answer buyers' questions. Haggle as needed. Sell your item by agreeing on a price. Be clear about pickup and/or delivery options.

Unless it's down time you've established, any activity that doesn't produce a tangible result or lead you to success is most likely a waste of time. This does not include meaningful time for reflection, which is key to getting your life back in order. Simply choose which things in your life are important to you and which are not. First, make a list of things that you normally do on a daily and/or weekly basis and write down how much time you spend on each activity. Then, take the items on that list and cross off the things that are useless in your life and you spend too much time on. Make a do and don't list. Look at the things you crossed off and what you still have on your other list. Does this seem reasonable? The main goal is to get you to stop spending so much time on useless things. Now that you know what to avoid doing, replace them with more productive activities. For example,  going to the movies or browsing on the computer half as often will give you more time. Or, if you watch TV for 5 hours a day, you're definitely wasting some time in your life. Some people are big on having as many windows open as possible when they are on the computer. They say it helps them to not forget important tasks and to stay on track. But if it sounds like you, you probably notice that the notification figures are constantly flashing, and before you know it, you're distracted by tweets directing you to another great article, photo updates about dinner selections, and an irresistible yet pointless online argument. Shut these social communities down and take control. Figure out times of the day to check back in. Take advantage of the useful time management tools out there to schedule updates for the day. You'll soon be so busy being productive that you won't notice that the social world you were so heavily immersed in has disappeared. Take advantage of the energy that comes with the rising sun. As many people are still not up and creating chaos in the world, it's a great time to be highly productive. Leave the social...

On some machines, the highest setting might be labeled as “pastry.” Flip the switch to power on the grain mill once you’ve adjusted the dial.  The settings on the dial control how coarse or fine the flour will be. A lower setting churns out a grittier powder, for instance. Always turn the grinder on prior to adding the rice. The hopper will automatically grind the rice as it passes through and will deposit the flour in the attached canister. If necessary, use a spoon or other utensil to push the rice towards the center of the hopper to speed up the grinding. If the flour isn’t as fine as you’d like it to be, run it through the hopper again. You’ll know the grinding process is finished when you hear the mill give off subtle high-pitched sound. Flip the power switch to the off position to stop the mill. You can let the mill run for an extra 5 seconds after it’s finished just to make sure no stray pieces of rice are lodged inside. The canister should easily detach from the mill. Once you transfer the rice flour into an airtight container, seal the container tightly by pressing firmly on the lid until it snaps or suctions into place.  Scrape any excess flour on the sides of canister into the container with a spoon so you don’t waste any. Resealable bags are a suitable alternative to a container. After 1 year, you might notice that the flour loses some of its flavor and smells musty. Throw it away sooner if you see mold.  Cool, dark spots are best for storing flour. Look for an area that is dry, too. Keeping flour in the fridge or freezer is your safest option to prevent it from spoiling faster. Label the container or bag with a permanent marker or sticker label if you want to remember when it will expire. Write down the contents of the container (“rice flour”) along with the expiration date.

TL;DR in English: Turn the dial to the highest setting, then turn the mill on. Pour the rice into the hopper of the mill to grind it. Turn off the mill after you grind all of the rice. Remove the canister from the mill and pour the flour into a container. Store the flour in the pantry, fridge, or freezer for up to 1 year.

This method requires no special tools, but does take a significant amount of prolonged rubbing. It is especially suited to stains on natural fibres such as linen and cotton. Fabrics whose surfaces fragment into small round surface balls, known as "bobbles" or "pills," require a longer period of more gentle rubbing. These fabrics include wool and most artificial fibres. In this position, water can work at the stain from the back, pushing it outward and off the fabric. Rinsing in this position is more effective than running the water directly onto the stain. You may need to turn clothing inside out to achieve this. Even an old stain typically hasn't worked its way into the fabric completely, so start by removing the loosely attached surface portions. Run cold water over the back of the fabric, so it pushes through the stain. Hold the fabric in the running water for several minutes, and the stain should be at least slightly smaller. Warning: never wash a blood stain in warm or hot water, which may cause it to bond permanently to the fibres of the fabric. Turn the fabric over so the stain is face-up. Rub bar soap into the stain generously, to produce a thick lather. Any soap can be used, but traditional solid block laundry soap may have a stiffer, more effective lather than milder hand soap. Roll or scrunch up two areas of fabric, on either side of the stain. Grip one in each hand to provide a good grip on the area, allowing you to rub it together. Turn the two handfuls of fabric so the stain is in two halves and facing each other. Rub the stained fabric against itself vigorously, or gently but quickly if the fabric is delicate. The friction you generate should slowly loosen the remaining particles of blood, which will remain in the lather rather than re-adhering to the fabric. Gloves may be worn to protect the skin from abrasion or blisters. Tight-fitting latex or nitrile gloves may provide the least hindrance to grip and dexterity. If the fabric starts getting dry or losing its lather,  flush the stain with...

TL;DR in English: Use this simple method primarily for linen and cotton. Turn the fabric so the stain is face-down. Flush the stain with cold water. Rub soap into the stain. Grip the stained area with both hands. Rub the stain against itself. Periodically replace the water and soap and continue rubbing.

Before recording video, you'll want to check your camera's settings to make sure you're recording in the best possible format. The steps to do this vary by Android (and not all Androids support the same resolutions), but you can usually find your camera settings with these steps:  Open the Camera app on the home screen or in the app drawer. Tap Settings or a gear icon. If you don't see either, tap any icon that looks like a menu and select Settings. Select your front or rear camera. Select a higher resolution. For example, if you want to record Full HD video, select a 4K option. Although many video converter apps are available at no cost from the Play Store, most charge extra to convert to high-quality formats like 1080p (Full HD). Video Format Factory by Keerby is a highly-rated free app that can convert video, but you'll need to pay $4.49 to upgrade if you want to convert to HD or Full HD. If converting a low-quality file to 720p (regular HD) is good enough, Video Transcoder is a completely free open-source option. You can get it from this link. For example, if you downloaded Video Format Factory, open the app, tap tap + Add at the top-left corner, and then select the video you want to convert. No matter which app you're using, you'll have to choose the desired output size for your conversion. For example, to increase the quality to 1080p, you'll usually choose 1080p or 1920 x 1080.  If the app you are using requires payment for high-quality conversions, follow the on-screen instructions to process your payment. The higher the resolution, the larger the file size. This might be a checkmark or the word Convert.  Once the file is converted, its resolution will be updated.

TL;DR in English: Record in HD or 4K. Install a video converter app that converts video files to HD. Open your video in a video converter app. Select your desired resolution. Select the option to convert the file.

You may be automatically taken to your nearest city’s Craigslist page if you’ve ever searched the site before, or if your computer browser knows your exact location. If not, you’ll need to find your nearest city under the main page at www.craigslist.org. If your city doesn’t automatically pop up under the list of cities, try searching by state first and then finding your closest city. You will see an option to “post” in the upper right corner of the screen. Click on “post.” Next click “for sale by owner” under the “what type of posting is this?” options, and click Continue. Under "choose a category," pick “rvs - by owner” and click Continue, unless the site automatically redirects you to the next page. In the creation of your ad, you will need to come up with a posting title, which normally includes the make, model, year, and color of the vehicle you’re selling. Then you fill in the price box and your specific location. Fill in as many other details as you can, including the year, make and model, sizing dimensions, condition, cylinders, drive, fuel, paint color, title status, and transmission. Your posting body is where you actually do the selling part of your ad. This is where you get people interested. Imagine you are talking to someone face to face about why you’re selling, making your RV sound appealing to them while being realistic about why you’re personally not able to keep it. Say, “I really wish I could keep this but…” and complete the sentence about why you need to sell it. You will want to say that you will accept cash or money orders at the time of the sale. Explain this in your posting body in your ad. It’s not a good idea to accept personal checks in a craigslist car transaction, since you most likely don’t know the buyer personally and their check could bounce. Make buying your RV sound like the best choice the buyer could ever make. Explain all the details about why you loved having it. At the same time, don’t be evasive about major problems that your RV has.  If a prospective buyer decides to...

Your parents will likely have opinions on the matter. Try not to argue with them or interrupt. Instead, stay calm and try to see their point of view. They may have a point that you're overlooking.  For example, your parents may worry about your tastes changing fast. If you're still young, you may change your mind again in the future. It's likely you've cycled through a variety of favorite colors and styles in the past few years, and your parents may not want to waste money redecorating if you're going to want to redo your room again before long. Try to really consider their point of view. Reflect on your tastes, and how quickly they change. Maybe you want to paint your room green, but green has only been your favorite color for a few months. It may be reasonable to hold off on repainting until your tastes are more stable. Arguing is not going to get you anywhere. It's only going to frustrate your parents. If your parents think you're being immature or difficult, they're much less likely to say "Yes" to your request. Even if you're getting frustrated, watch your tone. A friendly, respectful tone will be more effective than raising your voice or complaining. Your parents may so "No" to some of your requests. If this happens, be open to compromise. Instead of getting argumentative, consider their perspective and see if you can reach an agreement that works for everyone.  For example, say your parents say "No" to repainting. It's expensive and time consuming, and they're worried you'll change your mind in the future. Try to see if they'd be willing to meet you halfway. Instead of repainting, maybe they would let you put up some temporary wallpaper. There's always a chance your parents will not agree to your request. In this case, the best thing to do is to accept a "No" for the time being. In the future, you can ask again. If you're mature and go along with your parents decisions, this increases the likelihood they'll say "Yes" in the future. They will see that you're mature, which will make them more likely to...

TL;DR in English: Listen to your parents' perspective. Avoid arguing. Offer to compromise. Accept the decision for now.

After you’ve gotten yourself ready to play with your snail, you should give it the opportunity to move around. Ultimately, your snail will have the best time if it is moving around on its own accord.  Let the snail crawl around your hand. Let the snail crawl around its playground. If you litter food around the snail’s new playground, chances are it will move around to investigate the food and other new additions. Avoid trying to move the snail if it is already moving. You may hurt it. In addition, you may scare your snail, which will make it much more likely that the snail will hide from you next time you go to play with it. If your snail seems to be in a friendly mood, it will be okay to stroke its shell a little bit. Stroking or touching the shell is a great way to interact with your snail and to “play” with it.  Stroke or touch the shell lightly. Stroke or touch the shell with the grain, rather than against it. You need to be gentle whenever you play with or handle your snail. As living creatures, they are delicate and can be hurt relatively easily. Make sure to:  Never apply any pressure on to the snail’s shell. Always move very slowly when handling your snail. Be conscious of the fragility of the snail. While you should avoid picking the snail up, there are several things you should do and not do if you do decide to pick up your snail. This is important, since if you do something incorrectly, you may hurt your snail.  Do not try to pick up your pet using something sharp. Do not pick up your snail by its shell. The only time this may be appropriate is if your snail is completely withdrawn into its shell and you need to move it. When you do move your snail this way, make sure to be gentle and to avoid applying any pressure to the shell. When handling your snail, you should make sure to always avoid touching the area around the opening of the shell. This is because a snail’s shell grows at its opening.  This makes the area around the opening much more delicate and sensitive. Always grip the shell with two...

TL;DR in English: Let it move around. Stroke its shell. Play gently. Pick the snail up as little as possible. Avoid touching the area around the opening of the shell.

These three vocalizations are a common sign that your parakeet is content and happy in your home. If your bird is very vocal, particularly when you walk into the room, it is a good sign that your bird likes you. Beak chattering and purring are not always loud; some birds make these sounds softly and silently. No matter how your bird chatters and purrs, it is typically a sign that he is content and wants to interact or play with you. One way parakeets express that they would like to be picked up or petted is by clicking the tongue against the beak. If your parakeet clicks his tongue around you, it is usually a sign that he likes you and wants you to interact with him more.

TL;DR in English: Notice any talking, singing, or whistling. Listen for beak chattering or purring. Pay attention to tongue-clicking.

Research has shown that only being able to listen to an audiobook while at the gym motivates people to go to the gym more often. Choose an audiobook that you are very interested in listening to so that this will actually motivate you.  If audiobooks aren’t your thing, then try making a list of movies you want to watch and only allow yourself to watch them while you are working out, such as while walking on the treadmill or using the elliptical machine. You may also consider making a gym-only music playlist. Create a playlist of your favorite songs and commit to only listen to them during your gym workouts. Another alternative to audiobooks is to find a podcast that you will only listen to at the gym. Choose upbeat tracks to help make your workout more fun. Knowing that you have something that you are working towards may also help you to stay motivated to go to the gym. Take some time to establish rewards for going to the gym a certain number of times weekly and monthly.  For example, you could reward yourself with a new nail polish or movie rental for going to the gym 5 times in 1 week. You could also reward yourself with a pedicure or a trip to the movie theater for hitting the gym 20 times in a month. Choose rewards that will motivate you and commit to give them to yourself only if you meet your gym visit goals. Gym memberships are not cheap, so not using your membership is a waste of money. If losing money motivates you, then take some time to calculate how much money you will be losing by not going to the gym or not going often enough. For example, if your gym membership costs $60 per month, and you don’t go for a week, then you will be wasting $15. If you only go to the gym 2 times in a month, then it is like you are paying $30 per visit. If the idea of losing a larger sum of money than you are spending on your gym membership sounds like it would motivate you, then try making a pledge that you will donate $100 dollars or more to charity if you don’t go to the gym a certain number of times in a month. ...

Wrap plastic wrap around the main part of the machine and over the door to keep it from opening. Tape a moving blanket or several very large pieces of bubble wrap around the machine to protect it. Moving appliances requires a wider base than a typical hand truck can manage. An appliance utility cart is a better idea, which you can find at places that rent moving equipment. You can also buy one from a home improvement store. With the help of friends, lift one side of the appliance enough to get the cart underneath the edge. Strap the machine to the dolly for the move. Tip the appliance cart back slightly so that you can move it. You'll likely need your friends' help here, too. Carefully maneuver it through the house. Try to go straight through doorways instead of at an angle to keep from scratching the doorway or the machine. With someone on the other side, move the appliance down the stairs one step at a time. One person should be underneath the dolly on the stairs, and you should be holding the dolly from the top, moving it down the stairs. For going up stairs, pull the appliance up behind you step by step. You should still have a spotter underneath who helps you lift the appliance on each step. It's easiest to move it up a ramp if possible. If not, you'll need several people to lift it into the truck. Lift with your knees. To prevent injury, don't bend your back as you lift.  Appliances should go closest to the cab of the truck. While it's tempting to fit your washer in the moving truck any way you can, laying a washer on its side isn't a good idea. It can cause it to get off balance later.

TL;DR in English: Wrap the each machine for moving. Rent or buy an appliance utility cart. Lift one edge of the machine to get the cart under it. Move the dolly. Lower the appliance down stairs with a spotter underneath. Place the machine on the truck. Do not lay your washer on its side.

You’ll need to be able to pour the concrete fairly quickly, and wheel barrowing the concrete the length of a substantial driveway is labor-intensive. If you cannot get the concrete trucks in a position to pour their payload directly into your forms, consider hiring a concrete pumping contractor to place the material for you.  You can also rent a piece of equipment with a front bucket, such as a skid steer, tractor, or a mechanical-engine powered wheelbarrow to make the job easier. For smaller driveways, a wheelbarrow will likely suffice. the slab as desired. You will want to get the surface as flat (note, this does not mean level) as possible to avoid bird baths, or standing water, on it. The driveway may slope, but should still be flat.  Not all driveways are level, but the surface should be fairly flat. You can use a hand trowel to make the surface evenly flat. Concrete will contract as it dries, which can result in cracking. Avoid this by using wood or plastic “zip strips” to add 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep “cracks” or cuts in the concrete every 4 feet (1.2 m) or so.  If you let the concrete dry too much, you may need to use a specialized saw to cut contraction joints in, so it’s best to do it early. Make sure you seperate the contraction joints by the same distance to keep the driveway looking uniform. Perfectly smooth concrete may make it difficult for your vehicle to get traction, especially in wet conditions. Drag a broom or a burlap sack along the concrete as its drying to create a textured surface your tires can grip.  This step must be done while the concrete is still damp enough to accept the texture. Broom the concrete in the direction you want your driveway to drain if there is a slope. . This is done by creating a moisture retaining barrier on the concrete's surface, either with a layer of plastic sheeting or by applying a chemical curing compound to prevent the concrete from drying out too quickly.  You should protect your concrete drive from extreme weather conditions for at least 3-7 days. Do not...

Gather four people and then divide into two teams of two. Create a Euchre deck. Determine which player deals first. Deal counterclockwise following these guidelines:

Bacteria feeds off of sugar, so reduce your sugar intake to keep bacteria from thriving. Avoid processed and pre-packaged foods, and sweetened drinks. Read labels and avoid the product if sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, cane syrup, or another sweetener is listed as one of the top five ingredients. Reduce or avoid the following, which can have an even worse effect if you are consuming more than one of these items on a regular basis:  Pre-packaged snacks, crackers, chips. Breads or cakes. Soda, fruit drinks, sweet tea. When you do eat something sweet, use honey which has antibacterial properties and stevia. Stevia is an herb that is 200 times sweeter than sugar and has no calories. Avoid using artificial sweeteners like aspartame which can cause glucose intolerance (prediabetes) by changing the balance of your gut bacteria. Eat citrus fruits in moderation and be sure to rinse out your mouth with water and never brush immediately after eating. This will decrease the amount of acid in your mouth. The natural sugars in fruit, fructose, don't feed bacteria and are not found in high levels in fresh fruit like apples, pears, or peaches. Don't be afraid to eat fresh fruits. Take the time to chew each bite completely so that your mouth produces saliva. Saliva can naturally remineralize your teeth during meals and the more you chew the more saliva will be released. You should also drink 6 to 8 eight-ounce glasses of pure water a day. You don't need to drink mineral water; get your minerals from your diet instead. It's fine to drink well or tap water, which contain minerals unique to your area.  Tap water in much of the US is treated with fluoride to help prevent tooth decay.

Choose a place that will provide room to walk around the fire, away from plants, fences, or any other kinds of flammable material. Consider the wind in your backyard and the way it will blow smoke from the fire. Also consider how many people will be enjoying the fire, a 6-foot buffer minimum is a good idea.  Leave about 2 inches (5.1 cm) between the bricks for air circulation. Cover most of the bottom of the pit, creating a small "dip" in the center where you can place newspaper and kindling. Sprinkle water on the concrete until it hardens to your satisfaction. Construct a tepee from kindling around the newspaper. Light the newspaper, and you're ready to go. When the kindling gets going, start placing bigger pieces of wood around the shelf in a tepee shape.

TL;DR in English: Select a spot for your pit. Dig a circular hole, 4-feet in diameter and 12-inches deep. Using cement bricks, construct a 12-inch high wall around the pit. Lay down some concrete, the quick setting type. Build the fire. Feed the fire.

Understand that the presence or absence of a higher power has no effect on your moral code, unless he or she were to provide a code that is superior to one that you can deduce on your own.  In this case, a moral and logical atheist would accept such a code without question.  However, despite its godly origin, such an atheist would still recognize the value in questioning this divine moral code in order to potentially obtain even greater moral right.  If such as divine code is perfect, then questioning it only serves to support its greatness and make it stronger.  As such, one should never fear questioning a moral code. If a modern human were to stone to death an adolescent for not honoring his/her father and mother, we would certainly think him/her immoral.  Yet, these are the prescribed punishments for such acts, according to Abrahamic texts found in the Old Testament. Since modern humans do not follow their religious texts to the letter, they must have some method for determining which prescriptions to follow and which to discard, which is ultimately where our morals come from. Ask yourself -- is this action "good" because God tells us to do it, or is it simply a good thing to do. If the action is only good because God says so, then morality is nothing more than a checklist, and there are likely few Christians who believe that murder is moral just because someone talked back to their father. When something is a requirement, it's not actually moral anymore. Morality is about choice -- deciding to the right thing amongst many options. But if you're only doing the right thing because a religious leader or text told you to, or because you're scared of the consequences of hell, you're not actually being moral. You're being a sheep. Never forget that the mass murders of the Spanish Inquisition and Crusades were considered "moral" because they were apparently backed up by the Bible. But anyone stepping back to think for themselves would have realized very quickly that senseless violence is never a good moral...

TL;DR in English: Understand that the human intellect is the greatest tool that we yet know and that your rationale is important. Note that morality does not come from religion, but from communities who interpret religion. Remember that true moral goodness occurs because you want to help, not because you have to. Consider many of the clearly immoral positions of religions throughout history. Understand that highly religious communities often have higher rates of violence and crime. Note that atheists tend to be less prejudiced, hateful, and against limited rights for minorities. Remember to still accept the good of religious thinking and morality.

Partners may be chosen by any method agreed upon by the group. Teammates should sit in alternating positions so that each person is seated diagonally from their partner. Euchre is played with 24 cards consisting of the 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A cards from a standard 52-card deck. Although the remaining cards are not used during the game, set aside the 4 and 6 cards of a black suit as well as the 4 and 6 cards of a red suit to use for keeping score. Each team should use one of the sets of 4 and 6 cards to keep score by hiding/revealing one suit symbol for each point scored (Euchre goes to 10). For example: to show a score of five, the 6 card should be face up and the 4 card be face down, covering one of the suit symbols on the 6 card so that five suit symbols are showing. Shuffle the deck and then continuously deal one card face up to each player until someone receives one of the black jacks. This person is the first dealer. Dealing must take place over exactly two rounds The dealer must deal two or three cards at a time to each player, including themselves The exact pattern of card distribution does not matter, but the most common is 2-3-2-3 for the first round, followed by 3-2-3-2 for the second round. Players can look at their cards once they are dealt, but they cannot discuss them with anyone, including their teammate. After each player has five cards, the dealer should confirm that there are four remaining cards known as the kitty. Once confirmed, the dealer places the remaining cards face down in the center of the table, and then flips over the top card to begin the hand.

Hyperpigmentation can take a variety of forms and have a number of different potential causes. If you want to try and prevent it, it's important to have a clear understanding of the different ways it might appear to see for which form you are most at risk. Depending on what form of hyperpigmentation you are concerned about, you may not be able to do much to prevent it. The three main types are:  Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation Lentigines Melasma This type of hyperpigmentation can be caused by any inflammatory skin condition which involves the junction between epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin and the dermis is the layer beneath that. The kind of inflammation or injury that can cause PIH includes acne, burns, and psoriasis. A professional skin treatment can also result in PIH.  If PIH is a reaction to a specific inflammation or trauma it can resolve itself without treatment, but this can sometimes take months. It is possible that epidermal pigmentation can last for six months or a year. Dermal pigmentation can last for even longer, persisting for years. There are a wide variety of different instances of lentigines recorded in medicine. Some of these develop when you are very young and some as you get older. Solar lentigines are those which are most often caused by excessive exposure to the sun. Sometimes these are known as liver spots, and have been associated with aging. Although they do multiply and become more prominent with age, evidence has shown them to be much more prominent in older people who have had high exposure to UV light.  Solar lentigines most frequently occur on the face and the back of the hands. There is no proven link between lentigines and melanoma (a serious form of skin cancer), but they are considered an independent risk factor for melanoma. One other common type of hyperpigmentation is known as melasma (sometimes referred to as chloasma). Unlike the PIH and lentigines, melasma is not caused by exposure to the sun or a trauma or inflammation...

TL;DR in English: Identify the different types. Understand post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Identify lentigines. Determine melasma hyperpigmentation.

Got your eye on someone? Winning someone over doesn't need to be super-complicated. If you want a girl to start noticing that you exist, just start saying hello. When you pass in the hallway between classes, make eye contact and say, "Hey!" Smile and give a little wave. She'll get the hint.  You don't even have to say anything. Just start smiling when you see her coming. This will always be appreciated. Use her name. Hearing your own name called helps people feel validated and secure. It's like a little compliment every time. When you see her, say her name often.  If you've never seen this girl before and want to approach her, just go up and say hello, then start a conversation. After she's aware of your presence, strike up a conversation. Lead with something interesting and specific, or talk about something you know you've got in common.  Be funny. Lead with something that will break the ice: "I'm thinking of cutting gym and renting a Cadillac to drive to Mexico. What do you say? I need an accomplice." Talk about something you've got in common. If you see a girl out at a bar or restaurant, say, "Isn't this place great? What do you think? Have you been here before?" If you have class together, ask her about how she did on the last test, or how she feels about the readings. Avoid "closed" questions that won't give you anything to talk about.

One way to ensure your filing system runs efficiently is by filing paper as you process it. The filing system is not going to work if you put off filing papers. Getting into the habit of filing papers will also help your productivity and workflow. Every couple of months you should go through your filing system and do a brief sweep. You aren’t required to review all your papers like you did for the initial organization. Check through all files and make sure everything is organized and in the right place. After the first few months you could also reflect if the system you choose is working for you. Once a year you should do a larger cleaning of your workspace. You might have some files that you regularly use, but you should now go through the other files you use less. Open the files you use less and read through all your documents to see if there is any unnecessary paperwork. Take out all the files and wipe down the filing cabinet with a damp washcloth to remove dust buildup.

TL;DR in English: File paperwork immediately. Keep your space updated. Clean out your space.

For example, if you name your file "cmd", you'd type in cmd.bat here. This will ensure that your file is saved as an executable file, not a text file. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. If you're performing this step on your own computer, plug a flash drive into your computer and select it as a save location before clicking Save. Doing so should open Command Prompt if your computer allows batch files to be run.  If you can't run the program on your school computer, plug your flash drive into the computer and then double-click the batch file. If Command Prompt opens but won't allow you to type, it's administrator-locked, meaning you won't be able to use Command Prompt on your current account. Try using an installation drive instead.

Your teacher may have given you specific requirements, and if so, you should follow those. There are two basic ways to organize a book report:  Organize the book report by chapter. If you organize your book report this way, you will move from chapter to chapter. You'll probably need to cover multiple chapters in each paragraph.  Pro: You can go in chronological order, which could be helpful when you're summarizing books with a lot of plot elements. Con: This kind of organization can be more difficult to figure out if you need to talk about multiple chapters in one paragraph.   Organize the book report by type of element ("thematic" organization). If you organize your book report this way, you could have a paragraph about the characters, a paragraph or two about plot summary, a paragraph about main ideas, and a paragraph that sums up your opinion of the book.  Pro: You can tackle a lot of plot summary in very little space. The paragraphs are clearly divided, so you know what to cover in each one. Con: This may not be appropriate if your assignment is mostly to summarize the book rather than give your opinions about it. This will help you draft your summary. Put your notes into outline form depending on how you decided to organize your paragraphs.  For chronological order: Give each chapter or section of the book its own section. Write down the most important story elements and character developments that happened in each chapter. For thematic organization: Put your notes about the various elements, such as characters, plot, and main ideas, into separate sections. Each will become a paragraph. When you write your first draft, think about what elements move the story forward, because those will probably be the most important. You can give more detail as you revise, if you want. For example, many things happen in Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games, but you can't talk about them all. Instead, focus on the overall movement of the story. Begin by explaining what the Hunger Games are and how Katniss Everdeen and...

TL;DR in English: Decide how to organize your book report. Create an outline. Write your introduction paragraph. Develop your body paragraphs. Use the movement of the plot to help you develop your paragraphs. Organize your paragraphs by theme. Write a conclusion.

When you’re painting a ceiling, an airless paint sprayer usually works best because it fans the pain out in droplets to help evenly coat the surface. When you’re working on an overhead surface such as a ceiling, you want to choose a model that has a suction set and a portable paint reservoir instead of the usual jar. A sprayer that comes with a backpack type setup is usually the most convenient.  If you don’t paint regularly, there’s no need to purchase a paint sprayer. You can usually rent them from hardware stores, home improvement centers, and tool rental companies. Make sure to read the instructions on how to fill the sprayer with paint carefully. It can vary from model to model. Using the right tip on your paint sprayer is key to a successful paint application. With thinned acrylic paint, a 415 or 515 tip usually works best. To make sure that the tip you’ve chosen is appropriate, test it by spraying a piece of cardboard to see the pattern of the paint.  When you spray the cardboard, make sure that the spray pattern is intact, without any breaks. Make sure to examine the tip itself. If you notice that it’s rounded or has grooves along the edge, it is probably worn out and should be replaced. When your paint sprayer is ready, it’s time to spray the ceiling. Step up on a ladder so you can comfortable hold the nozzle approximately 1-foot from the ceiling. For the first coat, spray the paint onto the ceiling in a single direction, moving in a steady motion.  Be sure to hold the sprayer so it’s perpendicular to the ceiling.  When you finish with one strip of the ceiling, overlap the painted section with your next pass over the surface for the most complete coverage. After you’ve finished spraying the entire ceiling in the first direction, you’ll want to apply a second coat. This time, move the spray over the ceiling in the opposite direction of the first coat.  Allow the paint to dry for approximately one to two hours between coats. If the ceiling looks patchy after two coats, you may want to apply a third...

Meanwhile, prepare a baking dish by inserting an elevated cooking rack.  If you don't have an elevated rack, crumple up several sheets of aluminum foil and scatter them across the bottom of the baking dish. You'll need to keep the pork belly elevated as it cooks to help the fat render more readily. Using a sharp knife, the skin of the pork belly in a cross-hatch pattern. Slice across the skin in vertical rows spaced 2 inches (5 cm) apart, then create a series of perpendicular slices that are also spaced 2 inches (5 cm) apart.  Pierce through the tough skin and the top layer of fat, but do not cut too deeply into the actual meat lying beneath the two. Scoring the meat in this manner will allow more of the fat to render out during the roasting process. Place the pork belly on your prepared baking rack with the skin-side facing up. Rub the top with oil, then generously season the meat with salt and pepper.  In addition to seasoning the meat, the oil and salt make it easier for the fat to render out, resulting in crispier skin. Apply the seasonings by hand, and work the salt and pepper into the slits across the skin. Note that salt and pepper should withstand the roasting process without deteriorating, but other spices and herbs might burn. If you decide to add others, do so within the final 30 minutes of cooking. Place the seasoned pork belly in the preheated oven. Roast it for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the skin browns and begins to look crispy.  This brief period of high heat will not cook the pork through, nor should you cook the pork belly at this high heat for the entire time. The intense heat is only meant to crisp the skin. Do not wait for the skin to become dark brown or fully crisped since it will continue cooking at a lower temperature. Cooking it for too much time at a high heat could cause it to burn before the rest of the meat finishes. Decrease the temperature without removing the pork belly. Allow the meat to cook for another 2 to 2-1/2 hours, or until done.  Check the pork belly halfway through...

You can either run your fabric through the hot cycle on your washing machine or you can heat water in a pot on your stovetop and then soak the material. Either method will help relax the spandex fibers and help it stretch more easily. Most water heaters are set to heat water within this range, so you should be able to use hot water from your tap. An ironing board is a good surface for this project, but you could also use your kitchen counter, the floor, or a table with a surface that won’t be damaged by water. If you’re not sure if it’s okay to place a wet object on a table, try placing a drop of water on an inconspicuous area of the table. If the wet spot turns white, you shouldn’t use that surface for stretching your spandex or it will leave water stains. You can use almost anything to weight down your material; just make sure it’s heavy enough to hold the fabric when you stretch it. Items that weight about 3–5 lb (1.4–2.3 kg) should be sufficiently heavy enough to secure the garment just by placing it on one end of the fabric.  Try using free weights, a stack of textbooks, or even the leg of your bed to secure your fabric. Be sure that your weight is made of a material that can get wet without being damaged or transferring color to your garment. For instance, you may want to avoid anything made from painted wood. Pull the free end of the material as tight as you can without tearing the fabric, then secure that end with another heavy weight. The constant tension should help permanently stretch out the elastic in the spandex. Since spandex is made to return to its original shape, try to stretch it beyond what you think you’ll need. If you remove the material while it’s still wet, the fibers will shorten as they dry. This will cause the material to return to its original shape, so make sure it dries completely while it’s being stretched.  It will probably take about an hour for your garment to dry completely, although thicker material may take longer. For the best results, allow it to sit for at least an...

TL;DR in English: Soak your material in 120–140 °F (49–60 °C) degree water. Place the material on a flat surface while it’s still hot. Secure one side of the garment with a 3–5 lb (1.4–2.3 kg) weight. Stretch your fabric out and secure the other end with another weight. Allow the fabric to dry for at least an hour while it’s stretched out.

Although there are some left-handed professional trumpet players who hold their trumpet opposite of the recommended method, most use the standard grip. Many musical instruments require the use of both hands, and left-handed musicians have been shown to be adept at dexterity in their right hand as well. If you have a disability limiting the use of one of your hands, find a modified hold which works for you. You can find the ring next to the valve casing, which looks like 3 attached vertical tubes.This ring operates the third slide valve, which is used to help adjust out-of-tune notes.  If you have very large hands, you may rest your little finger under the third valve slide. If your hands are very small, you may want to rest your little finger inside the ring and wrap your other 3 fingers around the valve casing. These fingers on your left hand, along with your ring finger, are used to support most of the weight of the trumpet. They should rest against the valve casing next to the ring. This is another valve slide, and it is used to tune sharp notes which are played using the first valve. You will usually only move the first valve slightly, if at all. Your band instructor can help you learn which notes need to be tuned. This will affect your ability to operate the slide valves. You should try to make as little contact with the trumpet as possible, as this can affect the instrument’s acoustics. Most of the support of the trumpet comes from your left hand, so make sure you keep a firm grip. Otherwise, your right hand will have to compensate, which will affect your hand position and therefore your playing ability.

TL;DR in English: Hold the trumpet the same whether you are left- or right-handed. Place your left ring finger through the ring on the trumpet. Wrap your left index and middle fingers around the valve casing. Place your left thumb on the slide next to the first valve. Avoid resting your left palm against the valve casing. Grip the trumpet firmly with your left hand.

When you've caulked your baseboard and pulled your tape, all that's left to do is to allow it dry. Different types of caulk will have different drying times, so check your caulk's packaging for more information. Regardless of the amount of time it takes your caulk to dry, you'll want to ensure that no dirt or dust disturb it as it sets. You'll also want to ensure that young children and pets are kept away from the caulk as well. When it comes to caulking, minor errors are all too common. Usually, fixing these errors by hand before the caulk sets by using your fingers is simpler and easier than fixing the errors after the caulk dries. To do this, just repeat the smoothing process with your finger, using extra caulk as needed. If you notice an error after your caulk has dried, re-apply tape to the offending area, apply caulk to your finger, and work it into the crack or gap until it's well-blended with the surrounding dry caulk. When your caulk dries, the repair should be barely-visible.   If you used a caulking gun for your main job but have a small caulk tube handy, you may find that it's much easier to use the tube for touch-up work than to have to assemble a caulk gun again, dispense caulk, and potentially clean up spills. Just be sure to use the same type of caulk as you used for the main job! As always, remember to remove the tape while the caulk is still fresh. Congratulations! You're done. All that's left to do is to return your work area to the way it was before you began. Release the pressure on your caulking gun and remove the cartridge. Most cartridges come with a cap to preserve the leftover caulk. If yours does not, try using plastic wrap and a rubber band or tape. Wash your hands and your equipment with soap, water, and a washcloth. Remove any garbage or debris and replace any furniture, rugs, etc. you moved.  When using leftover caulk at a later date, note that you may need to use a nail or tack to remove dried caulk from the nozzle of the cartridge.

Understand how to create folders on your computer. Remember to use intuitive labels for your folders. Go to the folder in which you want to create your filing system. Create a base folder. Open the base folder. Create a "Temporary" folder. Create a folder for each category of document you want to organize. Create subfolders for your category folders. Move files into your filing system. Create hidden folders

To find it, click the Finder icon in the Dock (a smiling blue and gray Mac logo), then click Dropbox in the left panel.  This folder is like your Dropbox “home,” meaning that anything you add to this folder will be synced to your Dropbox account so you can access them from anywhere. If you’ve already been using Dropbox on another computer or at Dropbox.com, those files will appear in this folder. Your Dropbox can contain up to 300,000 files. If you go over that amount, you may experience slowness or unexpected behavior. Once you’ve added a new file to the folder, Dropbox will sync that file to your account. If you use Dropbox on another device or on the web, you’ll be able to see that file at that location shortly.  Another way to move a file to your Dropbox is to right-click (or press Ctrl as you left-click), the file and select “Move to Dropbox.” Dropbox will constantly monitor this folder and sync your changes to the cloud. If you don’t have a lot of space on your computer, use Dropbox Selective Sync to make sure only crucial files and folders are synced. Here’s how to set it up:  Click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar at the top-right corner of the screen. Click the gear icon. Click Preferences. Click Accounts. Click Change Settings…  Remove the check marks from any folders you do not want to sync. Click Update to save your changes. The fastest way to do this is by accessing https://www.dropbox.com in a web browser. Once you’re signed in, click your avatar at the top of the page, then click Settings to open your account menu. The amount of available space appears beneath your email address.

Go online to Pixar news sources, such as http://www.pixarpost.com/ and https://pixarplanet.com. These websites typically post about different charitable auction opportunities that happen from time to time. The purpose of these is to raise money for different organizations, such as the LA Food Bank or the Singing Stones School. Follow the directions on the website in order to place your bid, as you may get a tour if you have the highest one. While this is a good way to get a tour, it can be extremely expensive. Another way that Pixar uses charity fundraising to offer tours is by temporarily giving the public an opportunity to buy touring tickets, usually just before a film premier. Check out https://www.charitybuzz.com/ to see if any charity ticket opportunities have been posted. This is another pricey option. For example, tickets for a charity event in 2011 that included a black tie dinner, a screening, and an exclusive tour were $1,000 USD each. While it may be harder to get a tour by winning a contest, it’s a great option to pursue if you don’t have any personal connections and you also don’t want to spend a lot of money. Check out https://pixarplanet.com/blog/category/competition/ regularly to see what contests are posted. Contest entry requirements range in difficulty from answering a prompt with a short essay response to creating a trailer for a film. The prizes also vary, from special edition Blu-Ray disc sets to tours of the studio.

You can create a new, empty folder and name it whatever you like on both Windows and Mac computers:   Windows — Right-click a blank space, select New, click Folder, type in your folder's name, and press ↵ Enter.  Mac — Go to a location in which you want to create a folder, click File, click New Folder, type in your folder's name, and press ↵ Enter. Instead of abbreviating your folder names or using slang, make sure you type out a concise, descriptive name for each folder.  For example, your documents folder should be labeled "Documents" or something similar, not "Docs". A good rule of thumb is to label your folders as though you were creating a filing system for another person to be able to navigate without help. If you're creating your filing system on the Desktop, make sure you're there before proceeding. Windows users cannot create the filing system in the This PC (or My Computer) app. This is the folder into which your filing system's folders will go, so name it something like "Files" or "My Filing System". Double-click the base folder to do so. This is the folder in which you'll store files that don't necessarily need to be saved for more than a few days (e.g., files for a project you're working on). The "Temporary" folder should always be directly inside of the base folder for easy access. Think of category folders as the "drawers" of the filing cabinet. This step will vary depending on your needs, but your necessary folder names may include some or all of the following:  Documents Music Pictures Videos Work Open a category folder, then create a folder inside of it to serve as a subcategory folder. This will further separate your files.  For example, if your category folder is labeled "Documents", you might have three subfolders entitled "Word Documents", "PDFs", and "Spreadsheets". You can repeat this process with subfolders as well: open a subfolder, then create a folder inside of it. Think of subfolders as the filing envelopes used in a filing cabinet drawer (where the category folder is the drawer)....
