Know the common symptoms of depression during pregnancy. Identify the risk factors. Know that you're not alone.

The staff at the liquor store or wine shop are your greatest resource when pairing wine with food. Let them know the dessert that you are planning to serve or if you plan to use the wine as dessert. Stores that specialize in wine are usually better places to get help than picking up wine at a grocery store or large retailer. The darker the color of your dessert, the darker the color of the wine should be. Desserts can be grouped into three categories: vanilla and custards, fruit and spice, and caramels and chocolates. Common parings include:  White wines (e.g. late harvest Riesling) and sparkling wines (e.g. demi-sec champagne, Asti Spumanti) pair well with custard and vanilla. For desserts that contain fruits and spices (e.g. apple pie, fruit cobblers) white wines and pink champagne are a good choice. For desserts containing chocolate and caramel, red wines (e.g. late harvest Pinot Noir, Grenache, Port (a fortified wine)), and Grappa are good pairings. As a general rule, the wine should be as sweet or sweeter than the dessert you are eating. If the dessert is sweeter than the wine, your wine will taste bitter. This requires knowledge of the sweetness of both the wine and the dessert.  Pairing with chocolate is often the most difficult because it is very sweet and tends to coat your mouth when you eat it. Ruby ports and Hungarian Tokay are usually a good pairing. Most white dessert wines will not pair well with chocolate based desserts. If you are unsure of the sweetness of the wine, simply smell it. If you smell honey, molasses, or butterscotch, you are on the right track.   If you swirl the glass of wine, sweet wines will be thicker and stick to the glass more. Although each wine varies, many white dessert wines have fruit and/or honey flavors. If your dessert is fruit, has fruity flavors, and/or honey flavors, a white wine would be best. If your dessert has buttery and caramel flavors, an amber colored sweet wine is a good choice..  If you do not know which wine to choose, a Port or a champagne are very...

TL;DR in English: Ask for help. Match the color. Choose a dessert wine that is sweeter than the dessert. Look for complementary flavors. Use wine as dessert.

Whether you're using a tall glass or a classic metal cup, popping it in the freezer for a few minutes will keep your milkshake frosty as you sip it. There's no need to stand around – get started on the milkshake while you wait. Using ice cream straight from the freezer can make your milkshake taste dilute, thin, or icy. You'll have much better results if you leave the ice cream out on the counter for about ten minutes, until it's soft and just beginning to melt around the edges.  On a hot day, put the ice cream in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes instead. Heating the ice cream too fast can ruin the texture. This gentle method is best. Skip this step if using frozen yogurt. Add 2  large scoops of the softened ice cream or frozen yogurt to a blender or milkshake maker. Use a large stainless steel bowl instead if you don't have a blender. Add ¼ cup (60 mL) milk for a thick milkshake, or up to a full cup (240 mL) if you prefer a thinner drink. Add ½ cup Chocolate Nesquik powder.  Whole milk makes a richer shake, while low fat or skim milk is a healthier option. For an extremely rich milkshake, also blend in 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) heavy whipping cream. Crushed ice will dilute your milkshake's flavor. Use extra milk instead to thin the shake, and pop the milkshake in the freezer for a few minutes if it's too runny. If you like a thicker shake consistency, start out with 1/4 cup of milk and add more until you are satisfied with the texture. This is easiest with a blender, milkshake maker, or stick blender, on a low setting. If you don't have one of these, burn off some calories in advance with a sturdy whisk. Semi-frozen ice cream is easiest to blend with a series of short pulses, or with a sturdy fork instead of a whisk. If it still won't blend, mash it against the sides with a rubber spatula or flat spoon and try again. Taste before you pour it into the glass, so you have the option to blend in more milk (thinner) or more ice cream (thickener). Serve with a spoon or thick straw and enjoy immediately.

TL;DR in English: Stick a tall glass in the freezer (optional). Let your ice cream soften. Combine your ingredients. Blend. Serve in a cold glass.

These will help you understand your own condition and what areas you might want to address in order to treat your depression. The common symptoms of depression during pregnancy include the following:  Disturbed appetite (increased or decreased) Disturbed sleep (increased or decreased) Extreme fatigue and loss of energy Crying spells Poor fetal attachment Lack of feelings of pleasure Irritability Suicidal ideation Thoughts and feelings of worthlessness There are some common factors that enhance the risk of depression and if addressed timely might alleviate prenatal depression. These factors include:  Dysfunctional thinking and coping styles with ongoing life stressors Problems with significant relationships in family Current negative/stressful life events History of physical, emotional or sexual abuse Earlier miscarriage or stillbirth Childbirth related distress Vulnerable personality type to depression and anxiety If these factors existed prior to pregnancy, know that there is a greater chance of an ongoing depression and functional coping is required to treat it. Depression during pregnancy can be a very scary and startling experience. Most mothers expect to be overwhelmed with joy all the time, though that is hardly the case. Keep in mind that this is a trying time for both your body and your psyche and the healthiest way to deal with things is to seek help and support as soon as you feel you might be depressed. Slightly over 1 in 10 women experience depression during or after pregnancy. You are hardly alone! Talk to the women in your family or your friends – odds are one of them has been there, too.

TL;DR in English:


Purchase a blank white face mask. Find some white fabric with good stretch to it. Cut the fabric slightly wider and longer than the mask. Make a back piece. Glue the back piece to the mask. Poke tiny holes into the eye area. Make the neck cover (dickey or false shirt front). Cut off one leg from a pair of white pantyhose. Put it all together. Done.

If you are using a SunPass for a single vehicle, the mini SunPass transponder will work well for your needs. If you have multiple vehicles or a vehicle with more than two axles, you will need a standard SunPass transponder. SunPasses may be shared between family members. If you have several members of the family who will regularly pass tolls, the full-size will best suit your needs. The greatest difference between the two types of SunPass is portability: the mini is a sticker affixed permanently to a single windshield, while the standard pass is able to move from vehicle to vehicle. If you need to move your SunPass, avoid the mini.  The mini is ideal for a single traveler or people who share a single vehicle. The mini is also $20 cheaper than the standard SunPass, which makes it the more economical choice. If you anticipate a lot of usage, you may qualify for special discounts. If you anticipate a lot of usage between multiple vehicles, purchasing the standard size is the best option. Some routes provide yearly passes, while others provide frequent user discounts. Check with your local routes to determine what discounts may be available. If you are just visiting Florida and want a SunPass to cut down on tolls, check with local car rental companies. Many have deals on SunPasses to draw customers in. Choosing to go this route may wind up being less expensive than driving your own vehicle. If you already have a standard SunPass, you can also use a rental car, but must record the rental car's license plate number.

TL;DR in English: Assess your vehicle and group size. Identify whether or not you need it to be portable. Evaluate your projected usage. Ask your car company.

Once you have finished the top and it is smooth with no lines or air holes, it is time to spray it with a chemical retarder. The retarder chemical will keep the top layer of concrete wet while it lets the core harden. Try to disperse it evenly amongst the surface. Making one spot wetter than another will cause that spot to give away faster and potentially cause holes in the washing away process. The surface must be covered after the retarder is sprayed in order to lock in moisture, prevent wind from drying out the top, and to keep it out of direct sunlight.  Make sure your plastic is big enough to cover the whole pad with some wiggle room so you can weigh it down along the edge. Gently lay the plastic down on the surface of the concrete so you do not create any smudges. Now you must wait for it to harden. Depending on when you poured it and how wet the concrete was at that time, you generally need to wait roughly 10-24 hours for the core to harden. Do not wait to long to check, because the retarder and plastic cover can only keep the top from hardening for so long. It is best to let it sit over night and check it in the morning unless you poured it very early, in which case you can check it later that day. Removing the plastic should be no problem. It should be safe to walk on now. Start hosing off the top evenly amongst the surface. The creamy top layer should start to wash away exposing the pea stone gravel underneath. Use a broom to help brush off the top layer if it is not washing away easily.  Be careful to not focus in one area for too long, doing so can create rivets. Pea stone should be exposed evenly throughout the surface. Removing the forms while the concrete is still wet can cause trouble so as long as it has hardened, removing them is an easy process. Just remove the stakes and take out any nails and the 2x4 boards should pop right off. Forms can be reused for future jobs. Concrete WILL crack. It is unknown when it will crack but it WILL crack. Saw cutting it essentially says to the concrete...

TL;DR in English: Spray the surface with retarder. Cover the whole surface with nylon plastic. Let it harden. Remove the plastic and hose off the top. Remove the forms. Saw cut the pad. Seal the surface.

Are you close to throwing up in the air? There are some small measures you can take that might help you feel better fast.  Put pressure on the inside of your wrist. Press down, gently but firmly, with your fingers about two fingertip widths above your hand’s bottom.  Suck on hard candy to keep your saliva going. This will help reduce the feeling of a sick stomach in many cases. Ask for lemons. They will settle an upset stomach. The flight attendants might have some on their beverage trolley. Suck on the lemon wedges. It’s easier to rush to the bathroom if you’re sitting next to the aisle. If you’re a queasy flyer, request one!  To reduce motion sickness, focus your eyes on a distant fixed point. Keep your mind occupied. Do a Crossword puzzle or play a game on your computer. Take a long, deep breath through your nose, and then slowly breathe out. Take advantage of times that the seatbelt sign goes off, and take a bathroom break. This might help relieve some of your stomach stress. Ask to sit near the plane’s wing, where it’s most stable or back by the bathroom so you're close. Be aware that the back of a plane is the bumpiest, usually. You're more likely to get sick to your stomach in the back. Don’t stay crouched in the same position. Give your body some relief by moving as much as you can!  You will want to stretch somehow, either by walking to the bathroom or while sitting in your seat. Massaging the abdomen can also lower pain from gas. Do this gently. Try to shift position in your seat every half hour if you can’t get up. You can do this by crossing your legs, leaning forward, or putting your feet on your carry-on bag. This is the small nozzle you can turn on above you to direct air towards your face.  The gush of fresher air might make you feel somewhat better. Move your seat back and recline if you are allowed to do so. Look at the sky out the window, if you have a window seat, with your head slightly tilted back. Focus on the horizon. If your upset stomach is caused by anxiety, try to calm down by...

TL;DR in English: Use a quick trick to reduce upset stomach. Ask for an aisle seat. Shift position. Turn on the ventilation nozzle. Use an air sickness bag.

Use the kind that can be found in costume stores, dollar shops etc that cover your face but has eye holes, mouth hole and nostril holes. This mask will keep the fabric away from your face, helping you to keep breathing and seeing okay. Try the mask on for comfort. If it isn't comfortable, make any adjustments needed before gluing the fabric to it, as it's harder to do afterward. Lycra, spandex, etc. are good choices but if you're not sure, check with the fabric retailer who might be able to offer some options once they understand what you're trying to do. Attach the fabric to the mask by gluing it all the way around, overlapping the fabric edges to the back of the mask, going from the top of the mask down. A hot glue gun will make this easier but take care not to melt the plastic if it's a plastic mask.  As you glue, keep the fabric taut (stretched) so that it doesn't bunch up. Check that the fabric is smooth - wrinkles will spoil the end look. Be sure to work around the elastic part that holds the mask to your head––it needs to be able to stretch normally still. This is the piece that hides the back and sides of your head and joins to the front mask, completing the mask piece.  Place the mask down on a wider and higher piece of material. Trace a wide oval or circle around the mask, leaving at least 4 inches/10cm space between the edges of the mask and the circle or oval circumference, with slightly longer for the portion that goes down your neck (the part that tucks into the shirt). The back piece fabric needs to be large to ensure a good fit. Use your own head size to guide the final measurements. Overlap the top edge of the back piece (opposite end of the part you've designated as the neck end) to the back of the mask behind the forehead. Continue gluing down the sides of the mask to the chin. This completes the back piece; the remaining unglued length at the base will tuck into the neck cover when assembling the mask. This part isn't essential if you find that you can see through the fabric but test it to...

You can use a yoga mat or a gymnastics mat; either way, you want a mat that is going to give your support and cushion while you attempt your headstand. Lay your yoga or gymnastic mat lengthwise in front of you.  If you are not confident enough to practice your headstand freely, you can place your mat up against the base of a wall. Anyone who has never attempted a headstand should first practice against a wall. Practicing against a wall will help you find the initial balance and strength needed to hold a free form headstand. Kneel onto your mat. Bring your upper body down to the mat so your hands are out in front of you. Your body should now look like a table, with your knees lined up with your hips and your hands about shoulder-width apart. Bring your elbows down to rest on the mat.

TL;DR in English: Position your cushioned mat. Position your body like a table top.

Angles give it a more masculine look. Females often have softer chins and other features, so avoid squaring the jaw or sinking the cheeks until you have the other points mastered. The eyes are approximately halfway down the head (measuring from the top of the head, not the hairline--hair should come later). The nose begins at the eye line and ends approximately halfway between the eye line and the bottom of the chin. The mouth falls approximately halfway between the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the chin. Draw horizontal lines to act as guides, and we'll go over each facial feature. The eyes are usually spaced one eye-length apart. When drawing feminine eyes, remember that femininity is associated with softness and roundness. Large, rounded eyes will have a more feminine look than small, narrow ones. If your 'subject' has visible eyelid creases, articulate them well, and space them far enough from the eye as to be noticeable. Large irises are associated with both femininity and youth. Long, dark, well-illustrated eyelashes on both upper and lower lids are possibly considered the most feminine of the eye features. Remember that eyelashes curve outward as well as upward. The nose is one of the most difficult features to master, and also the one that can most affect how feminine or masculine your portrait will appear. Again, femininity is associated with softness and roundness--and in this particular case, a smaller size. Larger noses are considered more masculine than smaller ones. You may use sharper angles on the tip of the nose if you like, but articulate everything very softly. The fewer lines and the lighter the shading, the better. Illustrate the bridge as little as possible. The alae (the 'wings' protruding from each side of the nose) should be drawn in very lightly, if at all. The mouth requires the same treatment as the eyes do. Soft and round, often large but not necessarily so. Lips do not usually seem to divide in the center of the mass. Typically the upper and lower lips will seem...

TL;DR in English: Draw an oval face. Draw a center-line through the oval to position the features. Draw the eyes. Master drawing the nose. Draw the mouth.

The quickest way to improve your score is to work on your short game. If you do not have a lot of time to practice, spending time on your short game is better than spending time hitting long balls. Putting is very important aspect of your short game.  Place ten balls in a circle, three feet from the hole. Move around the circle and try to sink all of the puts. Try to sink ten putts in a row. If you miss one, start over. Try to practice your putting for fifteen minutes each day. The better you become at putting the more your confidence will increase.  You can also start off with two-foot putts and then graduate to three-foot putts. Lightly grip the club to decrease the tension in your arms. Place more weight on your front foot, use your arms and shoulders to swing the club back, and swing downward by pushing your right knee towards your target.  Your left wrist should be flat throughout the entire motion.  The swing is very short so your right elbow should never be behind your body. The shaft of the club should always be in line with your left arm. Your left arm controls your chipping swing.  Rotate your body forward as you swing. Your pitch shot is best when you rely on your arms instead of using your wrists and rotating your forearms. Keep your arms in the shape of a "V" as you do this swing.  Stand over the ball so that it is right below the left side of your face to start your swing.  Keeping the "V" will make your ball have a nice spin and fly high. Make sure your spine is straight before you begin your swing. The way the golf ball sits in the grass affects your shot.  Learning how your shot changes depending on the lie of the ball will let you know what shot you should take. Your shot will differ if you are shooting in a thick rough, a bunker, or a tight lie.  If the ball is sitting up in tall grass, you may have trouble hitting the ball cleanly. Take a few practice swings and only brush the tips of the grass with your club head. Then hit the ball with a club that has a lower loft (i.e. launch angle of a...

TL;DR in English: Work on your putting skills. Use soft hands when you chip. Pitch with your arms. Check the lie of the golf ball.

Turtles enjoy swimming, basking in the sun, and being active. Turtles also grow. Therefore, providing lots of space for your turtle to enjoy these activities and giving room to grow is important in making your turtle happy.   Research the potential mature size of your turtle and buy a tank that will reflect his growth. Turtles cannot be crammed into a small space or they will be unhappy. Glass aquariums that provide about three to four times the length of the turtle are most desirable. Turtles need to be able to totally submerge themselves and they need an area to get out of the water and get completely dry. Keep in mind that the bigger the tank is, the happier the turtle will be. Turtles are reptiles that, surprisingly, have a large territory in the wild. Try to reflect that with a large tank. Turtles take pleasure from spending time on land and water, so creating an environment that allows them to do both will make them happy. Although turtle aquariums do not need much landscaping creating an appropriate habitat will maximize your turtle’s health and longevity. Designing the habitat can be a fun and creative project, but always remember to keep your turtle’s needs in mind.   Try to keep the water portion deeper than the shell is wide so your turtle can completely submerge and swim freely. Slope the land portion into the water so your turtle does not have trouble entering or exiting the water portion. Turtles love to bask in the sun. Create a basking platform so your turtle can enjoy the UVA and UVB heat lamps you set up in the tank. Turtles can relax under the light for up to ten to twelve hours a day. Turtles are messy – they excrete, eat, and leave behind scraps of food in their water. If you do no clean their aquarium, both the turtle and its habitat will stink. Moreover, all this waste could potentially cause high ammonia and nitrate levels.   Clean your turtle’s aquarium weekly or create a separate area outside the tank to feed and allow your turtle to excrete waste before reentering the aquarium. An...

Use baby powder or another absorbent powder. Use an antiperspirant on your palms. Carry a handkerchief or alcohol wipes. Wash your hands more frequently.

Almond oil absorbs most readily into wet hair. Rinse your hair with warm water to help soften the bonds of your hair. Use a comb to brush out the tangles before you apply your almond oil conditioning treatment. Put a small bowl of the almond oil in the microwave and heat it up in 10 second increments until it's warm but not too hot. You want it to be warm to the touch so that the heat will open the outer cuticles of your hair. This will make it easier for moisture to penetrate into your strands. Make sure to test the warmth of the oil by holding the back of your hand an inch or so away from the oil so that you don't get burned. Put a small amount of almond oil onto your palm and apply it to your scalp around the root area. Using your fingers, gently start massaging at the front of your head, working your way back to the crown of your head and then massage at the nape, working up towards the crown. This will help stimulate new hair growth, condition your roots, and protect your hair. Massaging into the roots can also help prevent dandruff. Comb it from your roots to the tips of your hair. Make sure all of your hair gets coated with a small amount of oil. This may require applying a few more drops to your ends. Put on a shower cap and let the oil absorb into your scalp and hair for about an hour. If you have especially dry hair, consider leaving it on overnight. Use shampoo to wash the oil from your hair. If you rinse without shampooing, it'll leave your hair looking oily. Shampoo your hair just once, and apply it to your scalp in the same way you applied the oil. Start at the front of your head, work your way towards your crown, and then massage from the nape area up to the crown. Rinse out the shampoo and pat your hair with a towel. Once it dries, your hair will look silky and shiny. Doing regular almond oil treatments will help foster new hair growth over time. It will also make your hair strong, smooth and soft by sealing in moisture.

TL;DR in English: Rinse your hair and comb it out. Heat up the almond oil. Rub the oil into your scalp. Use a wide-toothed comb to disperse the oil. Cover your hair. Shampoo your hair. Rinse and dry your hair. Repeat once a week for best results.

If you’ve tried a handful of over-the-counter treatments and they haven’t done much to lighten your boil scars, it’s time to see a doctor. Visit a dermatologist and tell them how long you’ve had the scars. Also, describe what kinds of treatments you’ve used already. The doctor will inspect your scars and may take a small skin sample for lab analysis.  In some cases, you may need to visit your general practitioner first and ask for a referral to see a dermatologist. Dermatologists are used to dealing with all kinds of scars, including scars from boils. The doctor should be friendly and encouraging, and can help relieve whatever worries you may have about the appearance of your scars! If your boils were particularly large or deep, they may have left deep scars made of thick scar tissue. These scars will probably not respond well to most over-the-counter treatments. However, a dermatologist can use highly focused laser beams to resurface your skin by wearing away the scar tissue. In some cases, laser treatment may erase 100% of visible scar tissue! For this reason, laser treatment is a popular option.  Depending on the severity of your boil scars and the number that you’d like treated, laser treatment can cost anywhere from $200-$2,000 USD. Laser treatment can be a little uncomfortable, although you’ll be given a topical anesthetic in most cases. You may still feel a burning or itching sensation. The treatment may also create additional scarring. The post-treatment recovery period takes from 3-10 days. Before performing any laser treatment, the dermatologist will ask about your medical history. They may also prescribe you an antiviral medication to prevent viral infection following the surgery. Dermatologists and skin surgeons often perform minor surgeries to remove persistent scar tissue. Surgeries are most common in the case of a few separate boils that have each caused large scars. The doctor may choose to use a procedure called a punch excision, in which they remove individual boil scars and stitch or graft...

TL;DR in English: See a dermatologist if your boil scars don’t clear up with treatment. Ask the doctor about laser treatment to lighten scars. Receive minor skin surgery to remove the boil scar tissue. Request a chemical peel to clear boil scars from a large area of skin. Talk to your doctor about corticosteroid injections to flatten scars.

Given the stigma surrounding mental health treatment, you may feel hesitant to seek counseling services. Don’t be. Feelings of sadness and anger are common and unavoidable, but when those feelings are negatively affecting your day-to-day life you may need a therapist to help you work through your thought processes to understand why you feel the way that you do.  Ask friends or family for counselor recommendations. While you may be hesitant to disclose to others that you are seeking therapy, you could find a valuable resource. You may even be able to have a great discussion about the process of going to counseling with someone whose opinion you value. Search for a therapist in your area. Depending on where you live, you might have numerous options for a counselor, or you might have very few. In either case, you go find a directory of counselors in your area by visiting the website for the National Board for Certified Counselors.  If you'd rather find a counselor based on a personal recommendation, ask your doctor for a referral. When you are experiencing intense emotions, you sometimes lose the ability to accurately see what is motivating those feelings. In these times, it’s helpful to have a trained professional to help you analyze the situation. Be aware of feelings of resistance while talking to your counselor. Inevitably, there will be times when you'll feel misunderstood or as if your therapist doesn't understand why you feel so strongly about certain things. Remember that your therapist can see the situation more clearly than you can. Don't worry about trying to make your counselor think that you're a normal, well-adjusted person. They can only help you if they understand how you process your emotions and think about them. Your counselor is the one person with whom you should feel comfortable saying every ugly or embarrassing things you'd be hesitant to say to anyone else. Ask questions. If, at any point, you feel confused about why you're feeling the way you do or how you should react in certain...

TL;DR in English: Find a counselor. Keep an open mind. Be open with whoever is willing to help you. Talk to a friend or family member. Try to avoid confronting someone when you're already angry. Remember to listen.

One simple, direct, and fairly long-lasting way to get rid of unwanted hand moisture is simply to soak it up! You can do this a variety of ways, including applying an absorbent powder to your hands. Try pouring a thimble-sized amount of baby powder into your hands and spreading it around gently and evenly — you should immediately notice your hands feel cooler and dryer. Below are just a few more powders you may want to consider using:  Chalk Talcum powder (note that talc can be poisonous if inhaled in significant quantities)  Cornstarch (sometimes specifically used for this purpose in Hispanic countries, where it is called "maizena") Baking soda Many people apply antiperspirant under their arms every today to control underarm sweating. Believe it or not, you can get the same effect by spreading a little antiperspirant on your palms. Dry your hands by wiping them with a towel before you apply your antiperspirant so that it can do its job of plugging your sweat pores properly.  Make sure to use an antiperspirant — not just a deodorant. Though the two products are often combined into one, they're not the same thing. The former fights excessive sweating, while the latter simply controls the odor from sweating. For the strongest effect, use an antiperspirant with aluminum compounds as its active ingredients. Aluminum is one of the strongest, most effective antiperspirant chemicals available. For serious situations, you may even want to investigate prescription antiperspirants (like Drysol) which have higher concentrations of aluminum. For mild cases of clammy hands, sometimes simply carrying around something you can use to soak up moisture throughout the day is enough to beat your clamminess. Cloth handkerchiefs make great re-usable hand towels, while disposable paper towels and alcohol wipes offer instant convenience. Though alcohol wipes are wet, they don't usually make hands moist in the long run. Alcohol evaporates very quickly, taking other sources of moisture with it as it leaves the hands. In fact, some...

Move the rack in the oven so it's in the center. Place 1 pound (450 g) of broccoli florets in a bowl and drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil over the florets. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt over the florets and use your hands or tongs to toss them until they're evenly coated. Open the the oven door and place the baking sheet in the center of the oven. Close the oven door. Spoon the seasoned broccoli on a rimmed baking sheet. Ensure that the florets are evenly spaced so they cook evenly. Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Wear oven mitts to remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a flat spatula to stir the broccoli and return the sheet to the oven. Cook the broccoli until it's tender and slightly crispy on the edges. This should take another 10 to 15 minutes. You can insert a fork or knife into a floret to see if it's done. If it's tender, the fork or knife should slide right out. Turn off the oven and transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving dish. Add more salt and pepper according to your taste and serve the broccoli immediately. Store leftover roasted broccoli in an airtight container. Refrigerate it for 3 to 5 days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 425 °F (218 °C). Season the broccoli with olive oil and salt. Spread the broccoli on a sheet. Roast the broccoli for 10 minutes. Remove and stir the broccoli. Roast the broccoli for 10 to 15 more minutes. Serve the basic roasted broccoli.

One of the most important parts of being a counselor is genuinely caring about people. Work on being empathetic, non-judgemental, and genuine. You can hone these skills by having in-depth conversations with your friends and family members. It also helps to read a lot of books. Reading can help you learn to relate to people and be more open-minded.  Get in the habit of practicing self-care. Being a counselor can be tough at times and you might feel very emotional. Set aside time each day to relax and do something you enjoy. You could try meditation, yoga, or getting together with friends. You might also find it helpful to see a counselor yourself. In addition to earning your degree, you need to complete a certain number of clinical hours. Each state has different requirements, so check to see what your state requires. You can look online, and your graduate program advisor should also be able to help you figure this out. You will typically need to complete anywhere between 1,000-4,000 hours within 2-3 years.  Many of these hours have to be completed under the supervision of a licensed counselor. Make sure to check the requirements in the state where you want to work. Typically, you'll complete most of these hours by doing individual counseling sessions with a client while under the supervision of a licensed therapist. You might also have to do a certain amount of hours in different areas, such as individual and group counseling. Every state requires you to have a license to work as a mental health counselor. Most states use either the National Counseling Exam (NCE) or the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam (NCMHCE). Some states require you to also take a state exam. Look online to find the specific requirements for your state. If you work in private practice, you don’t necessarily have to become board certified. Many other employers, like schools or hospitals, might require it. Look into certification if you want to be able to explore more employment opportunities. Many states require the Certified...

TL;DR in English: Continue developing the skills you learned in school. Finish your experience requirements. Take your licensing exam. Become board-certified to increase opportunities. Search for a job in your area.

If you're considering a career in fashion design, it's never to early to start exploring your interests and gaining experience. You can even begin your fashion design education in high school, taking relevant coursework that can help you get a head start on your college education.  Because designs often start as drawings/sketches, it would be useful to take any art classes your school offers.  Many high schools now offer computer-aided design (CAD) classes. Fashion designers use CAD programs to create fashion designs, so hands-on experience with CAD is essential. Get good grades in high school. Doing well in high school will give you a better chance of being accepted to (and getting a scholarship at) the college of your choice. Most people working in fashion design earn their bachelor's degree in either fashion design or fashion marketing, depending on which aspect of fashion you want to focus on. Both degrees can lead towards a career in fashion design, though the latter will also give you some insight into the business and marketing side of fashion.  Look for programs in fashion design/marketing in your area by searching online. Make sure your school is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). NASAD puts colleges through a rigorous peer-review process to check for standards of education before accreditation is granted.  You can search for accredited programs directly through the NASAD website by searching for the college's name, the program (fashion design), or by city/state. Though internships are not necessarily a requirement for employment, working an internship can help you gain valuable experience in the industry. You'll also get your foot in the door, making contacts who can offer you a recommendation or may even find full-time work for you after graduation.  Internships can give you the freedom to explore different aspects of fashion design while you're still in school. This can help you know what type of work you want to look for after you graduate. Some colleges...

TL;DR in English: Take relevant high school classes. Apply to a college program. Work an internship. Enter contests while you're in school. Graduate with a bachelor's degree.

Set aside time for unwinding. Spend time relaxing as soon as you get home. Maximize small pockets of time to unwind.

Locomotive skills are one of three essential motor skills; the other two being stability and manipulative skills. If skipping is difficult, then start with some of the more basic locomotive skills and work your way up. Marching with high knees mirrors the movement of skipping closely. Bring one foot up and bend at the knee to create a 90 degree angle. As you step forward, bring the other leg up in a quick motion. Keep your eyes focused forward and swing arms opposite of your feet. If the left foot is up in the air, the right arm should swing forward and vice versa. Stand with feet close together and push off with both feet. Try lifting your feet off the ground at the same time. Practice landing quietly by landing on your toes and letting your ankles and knees bend. See how high you can jump. Add a jump rope and try jumping rhythmically. Extend your knees, ankles and hips as you jump. The main bounce should happen in your ankle. Activate the elasticity in your achilles tendon as you jump up and down. Learning to hop on one leg is a prerequisite skill to hopping. Lift one foot up, bending at the knee, and hold it there. Balance on your standing leg and try to stabilize by tightening the muscles in that leg. Once you have steadied yourself, lift off your heel and push off the ground with the ball of your foot. Try landing an inch or two forward back onto the ball of your foot.  Keep yourself balanced by bringing your arms to your sides in a wide A shape. Switch feet and try balancing on the other foot. Thrust your foot up and bend at the knee. Step forward with the lifted foot and shift your weight into the foot in front of you. Quickly close the gap between your feet by moving your back foot forward, so it rests just behind the front foot. Continue this motion forward with the same foot.  Make sure you switch sides and gallop with your other foot. A gallop is nearly as difficult as skipping. Once you’ve mastered the gallop, you can then move on to skipping.

TL;DR in English: March with high knees. Jump with both feet. Hop one foot at a time. Practice galloping.

Just before you walk over, brush off your clothes, check your teeth, and smooth your hair discreetly. Besides making sure there’s nothing out of place in your appearance, taking this extra moment can help you gather yourself and feel more confident before you approach them. If you still feel too freaked out about approaching your crush, ask a friend to come with you. This works especially well if your friend already knows your crush—they can help start a conversation and ease over any awkward moments.  You don’t have to tell your friend that you have a crush if you don’t want to. Say something like, “Hey, Rachel’s in your math class, right? Can you introduce me? I need help on this new chapter.” It’s also great to bring a friend along if your crush is hanging out with a big group of people. Approaching with some backup can help you feel more confident. When you see your crush, your first reaction is probably excitement—and anxiety! Don’t give yourself time to freak out. Instead, take a deep breath and start walking towards them before you can talk yourself out of it.  Try giving yourself a 3-second deadline to go talk to your crush. Hesitating gives you time to start worrying and second-guessing yourself. Going straight up to them will actually help you feel more confident! and smile. No matter how nervous you feel, walk towards your crush with confidence. Stand up straight, relax, and smile. Being confident as you approach them will put both them and you at ease. Even faking confidence can help you feel stronger and more sure of yourself. When you get to your crush, just smile and say hi! If you’ve never officially met before, tell them your name. Relax and talk normally—remember that this is just another conversation.   Say something like, “Hey, I’m not sure we’ve officially met yet. My name is David.” Introducing yourself is a great way to start if you have something specific to ask of your crush, such as help on a project. If you want to start a more casual conversation, you might want to jump right in...

TL;DR in English: Do a quick check of your hair and clothes before you approach. Bring a friend along for support, especially if they know your crush. Start walking towards your crush as soon as you see them. Be confident Introduce yourself and say a casual hello.

Be aware that obesity, arthritis, and sore teeth can cause dandruff. Keeping the skin and fur conditioned requires the cat to groom regularly and spread the conditioning oils over the coat. If the cat is overweight or has mobility issues, such as those associated with arthritis, it physically won't be able to reach all parts of its body, which means those places are liable to have flaky skin.  If this is the case then you should groom the cat daily until the cat is able to do it itself. If your cat is not grooming itself because it can't reach areas due to its weight, consider putting it on a diet. A leaner cat should be able to more effectively clean itself. A sore mouth can also stop the cat from grooming, and can also impact on its ability to eat. In these circumstances veterinary attention is essential, to extract loose teeth, clean away tartar, and give antibiotics against gum infection. It may not seem like a risk that's worth worrying about, but cats can have their skin damaged by the weather. This is especially true for cats with thin coats or no coats at all. Hot, dry conditions can lead to dried-out skin and even sunburn, so let your cat stay indoors when it's scorching out. Drier winter months can also be a source of flaky skin, even if there's less of a risk of sunburn. An occasional brushing can remove dead skin flakes, reducing dandruff. Use a gentle cat brush and stroke in the direction of the hair. Don't use too much pressure. You want to stroke and not scrub. Regular brushing is a great way to reduce dandruff. It improves the blood circulation to the skin, which carries oxygen and nutrients to the skin and helps condition it.  However, expect the dandruff to initially get worse in the first 3 - 4 weeks. You will loosen up sloughed skin cells that are then shed into the coat. Always brush gently and stop right away if you notice irritated skin or signs of pain. Cats aren't like people in terms of bathing needs. They're quite good at keeping themselves clean, so they only need to be bathed very...

TL;DR in English: Address physical conditions that are making the dandruff worse. Keep your cat out of hot, dry weather. Give the cat a gentle brushing. Avoid bathing your cat too often. Use a gentle ointment.

Schedule your leisure time so that it doesn't get taken over with other responsibilities. Avoid over-committing yourself to social engagements, volunteering, and other things you may not realistically have time for after work. Have some time just for yourself to unwind.  If you have things to complete after work (like grocery shopping, picking up kids, or attending events), prioritize your tasks and if possible, delegate responsibilities. Try to get any important tasks done quickly after you get home from work. Set a rule for yourself not to do any sort of work after a certain time in the evening. Setting aside a regular time to relax before bed will improve your quality of sleep and help you be more productive during the day. Don’t put off your time to yourself. If you set aside the first ten minutes after you get home to do something relaxing, you won’t have to squeeze something in later or go a day without having some time to unwind. Even if you have kids or a family, let them know that the first ten minutes after you get home are for you to relax. They can come to you with their questions, needs, and requests once you’re finished. Prioritizing time to unwind can help you feel calm as you enter back into your life without too much stress. This is especially helpful if your family tends to bombard you with things as soon as you step through the door. Maybe you notice your nerves or anger acting up after you get home from work. You might not have time for a massage or a 60-minute yoga class, but you likely have time for a ten-minute walk around the block or a five-minute dance session. Taking advantage of small pockets of time can help you feel relaxed and give you a quick reset to feeling better. Touch can be quick and calming and can put you in a relaxed state. Get home and give your partner and children a big hug. If you have a pet, spend some time petting them, even if it’s just around television time.

Flip your shirt inside out so that you can see the stain. Take the hem of the shirt and rub it over the stain. Alternate between using a circular motion and an up-and-down motion. Be sure to use the inside of your shirt to rub the stain, in case the stain transfers. Make sure that the stain is dry first, then rub it with a dryer sheet. If you cannot find a dryer sheet, try using a pair of nylons instead. Rub the stain using a circular and an up-and-down motion. You can also use a sock to buff the stain away. Turn a sock inside out, and buff the stain with it until it disappears. Run some hot water over a cloth (such as a towel or clean rag), and add a few drops of soap. Massage the cloth to get the soap into the fibers, then rub it over the stain. After a few minutes, the stain should be gone. If there is soap on your shirt, dip the cloth into clean water, and rub the area until the soap disappears. If you do not have access to water, try using a baby wipe or a makeup remover wipe. Purchase a magic eraser sponge from the cleaning section of a grocery or department store. Dampen the sponge and squeeze out any excess water. Rub the stain using an up-and-down motion. Fill your sink with water, and add in the amount of stain remover specified on the label. Put your shirt into the sink and let it soak. For light stains, leave the shirt in the water for an hour; for heavier stains, leave the shirt overnight. Once the shirt is done soaking, wash it in the laundry machine as usual. You can also try using a stain remover pen or spray. Both can be purchased in the laundry department of a grocery store. Mix some baking soda with just enough water to make a paste. Massage the paste into the stain and leave it there for one hour. Wash the paste off using cold water, then wash your shirt in the laundry machine. Mix one part white vinegar with one part water. Soak the stain with this solution, and rub it between your fingers. If the stain is heavy, soak the shirt in the solution for a few hours. Once you are done, wash the...

TL;DR in English: Rub the stain with another part of the shirt. Rub the stain with a dryer sheet or a pair of nylons. Scrub the stain away with a damp, soapy cloth.

from your lash line up to your crease. Dip your brush into a neutral, nude, or light eyeshadow, then brush it across your lid, working from your lashline to the crease. The eyeshadow will prime your lid and allow for a smoother application of eyeliner. It will also give the eyeliner something to cling to, so it will stay put and won't smudge or rub off.  Because cat eyes are so dramatic, darker eyeshadow colors can look overdone. Instead, consider using a color that matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter. Don't use a cream eyeshadow. The eyeliner won't stick to it, and both the liner and eyeshadow could easily wipe off. Hold a slim makeup brush against the side of your nose and angle it until it points to the end of your eyebrow—this is the line you want your wing to follow. You want your wings to be as identical as possible—different lengths, widths, and angles will look off. If your eyelids are hooded, make the angle less upward and more horizontally straight. This will extend your lash line and open up your eyes.

TL;DR in English: Apply neutral or light eyeshadow Angle a brush from your nose to your outer brow to find your end point.

Wash your raw potatoes well in cold water. Cook the potatoes, either by baking or boiling.  If boiling, place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cook potatoes until tender. This should take about 20 minutes. If baking, pierce the skin of the potato with a fork 3-4 times. Wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil or place directly on the middle shelf of an oven, preheated to 350 °F (177 °C). The potato will bake in about an hour. If you already have leftover, cooked potatoes from a previous meal, you can go ahead and use those to make hash browns. Allow the cooked potatoes to cool. Leave overnight in the refrigerator, if possible. Once the potatoes have cooled, you can peel them using a small knife or vegetable peeler. Shred the potatoes using a cheese grater. They will shred very easily as they are soft when cooked. At this point, you can either cook them, or freeze them. To freeze them, lay them flat on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet into the freezer for a couple of hours or until the potatoes are frozen, then transfer them into freezer bags to use at your convenience. Heat a large skillet pan (preferably cast iron) over a medium-high heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow to melt. Once the butter has melted, add the cooked, shredded potatoes to the pan and toss to coat with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Once the potato has been coated with butter, flatten it using a spatula to maximize contact with the hot pan. It should be no more than 1/2 an inch thick. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, flip, then cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side. The hash brown potatoes are ready when each side is crisp and golden brown. If you are using the frozen potatoes that you prepared earlier, you can cook them in the exact same way. They will just take a few extra minutes. Slide the hash brown from the pan, or lift using a large spatula. Cut it into halves or quarters, if necessary. Serve on their own, or alongside breakfast or dinner.

TL;DR in English:

Cut off around 50 feet of string and wind it around a 6 inch piece of light wood or sturdy cardboard. This will be your handle.  Lightweight nylon cord works best and is more durable than string or fishing line.   A stick from outside or even a popsicle stick will work just as well for your handle. It is really up to you and what you feel comfortable holding. It helps to have a friend throw the kite up in the air in addition to having a breeze.  Only let out about 3-4 feet of string until your kite is up in the air. You may need to run to get the kite going.

Make a to-do list (or several) for the day, week, or any other amount of time you will be stuck at home to help you manage any tasks you’d like to get done during that time.  Try prioritizing your to-do lists by listing items in order of importance or breaking them into specified categories (e.g. Today, Tomorrow, Weekend, or Urgent, Soon, If Time Allows). Make completing tasks more fun and satisfying by using colored pens, stickers, or other decoration, and make sure to cross off each item as you finish it! Get to chores you’ve been neglecting, like vacuuming, dusting, or washing dishes. Make it fun by putting on music or singing while you work.  Active chores that get you up and moving, like laundry, vacuuming, mopping, or washing windows, have an added bonus of giving you a good physical workout, too.  If you do any work from home, focus first on decluttering and reorganizing your desk or office space to help you think clearer and be more focused while you work there. Try rearranging and reorganizing areas that typically get messy, like closets or kitchen cabinets, so that it is easier to keep them consistently tidy. Try to fix broken household items, mend clothing, or make other simple repairs that you’ve been putting off.  If you don’t know how to fix something, look up instructions online. It could be easier to fix than you think. Use a simple needle and thread to sew on buttons or patches, stitch rips, or make any other adjustments to damaged clothing items so that you can wear them again. Rake leaves, mow the lawn, trim branches, or plant something in your yard to help keep it looking good and tidy while being active at the same time.  If you don’t have a yard, simply spruce up a patio or balcony with some plants, a spare chair, or a string of lights. If you can’t be outside, try planting a few plants inside to grow on a windowsill. All you need is a pot with potting soil, seeds, and water. If you have someone’s birthday, graduation, wedding, or other event coming up, use your time at home to plan out...

TL;DR in English: Plan ahead for your time at home. Clean or tidy up. Mend or fix broken items. Do some yard work if you can go outside. Plan an upcoming event.

Bake the quiche as directed, but place it on a baking sheet before doing so. When you finish baking it, transfer the tray to the freezer, and let the quiche freeze until the soft center is frozen as hard as ice. Even though the quiche is technically solid after it bakes, the filling is still quite soft. Letting it tray freeze before going into long-term freezer storage can prevent the soft filling from getting damaged in the freezer. Use a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil to wrap up the pre-frozen quiche, making sure that all the edges are thoroughly sealed to prevent excess exposure to the air.  If necessary, you can also place the quiche in a large plastic freezer bag for an even more airtight seal. Label the quiche with the current date and the contents of the dish. This will allow you to keep track of how long the quiche has been in the freezer. Keep the quiche in its pie dish and place it in the freezer, keeping it at a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) until you are ready to serve it. Baked quiche can be frozen for two to three months, if necessary, without the quality being negatively affected. Do not thaw the quiche before you warm it up. Pull it out of the freezer and transfer it to an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it has completely warmed through. It is recommended that you do not thaw the quiche before warming it. Thawing it first can make the crust get moist and soggy.

When you’ve collected the pods, group them into bunches of five to 10. Tie the bunches together by wrapping string or elastic around the stems. Hang the bunches from a clothesline or door handle in a cool, dry place. Use hooks, string, or clothespins to fasten the bunches to the clothesline or handle.  Leave the pods to dry for several days to a week, until the pods start splitting open.  A good place to dry the pods is a garage or dry basement. Leave the seeds on the towel to dry for another few days in the same cool, dry place where you dried the pods. You want to make sure that all the moisture has evaporated, otherwise the seeds will spoil during storage.

TL;DR in English: Hang the pods to dry. Dry the seeds for another day or two if necessary.

When you're beginning to establish your film production company, consider initially producing short films. Short films are brief films, usually 10 to 15 minutes in length, that are cheaper and quicker to produce. Many big film festivals, such as Sundance and South by Southwest, have a short film category. If your film does well at a festival, you can potentially get noticed by an agent. Your production company may be able to get funding or theater distribution for bigger projects. The internet provides exciting new opportunities for young filmmakers. You can upload your content for free on YouTube and, if you generate a following, you may get your content picked up for television.  Make sure to include your production company name at the end of all your videos. This way, you'll help people remember your company. Copyright content before posting it online. This will prevent your content from begin stolen. One of the best ways for production companies to get noticed early on is to apply for festivals. Big film festivals include things like South by Southwest, Tribeca Film Festival, and Sundance. You can also try for smaller festivals in your area, which may be less competitive.  Applications vary by festival. Usually, you just send in a copy of your film along with a possible submission fee. Prepare yourself emotionally for rejection. The film world is very competitive and you'll likely get far more rejections than acceptances.

TL;DR in English: Consider producing shorts. Use the internet to your advantage. Apply to festivals.

One of the most important parts of getting a boyfriend is to meet someone that you'd like to date. Before you head out looking for guys, take a few minutes to think about what you want. List the priorities that you're looking for in a potential boyfriend.  Maybe common interests is your top priority. For instance, do you love to ride your bike? Make it a priority to find someone who also enjoys that activity. You can also list important personality traits: honesty, compassion, and a great sense of humor are all good examples. Your friends and family can be a great resource in your hunt for someone to date. In fact, most people report that they met their partners through friends and family. Let your network of friends know that you are open to meeting new people.  You can say, "Hey, Stacy. I'm interested in meeting someone. Do you know any eligible guys that I might be interested in?" You might try, "Ellen, that guy that sits next to you in English seems nice. Can you mention my name to him and see if he sounds interested?" Accept invitations to gatherings. You never know who will be at Aunt Maureen's BBQ! If you are working on building a positive body image, it might feel more comfortable to meet people through your circle. After all, it's unlikely that your best friend would set you up with a jerk who makes negative comments about your appearance. These days, a large percentage of relationships begin online. Forget about the old stigmas! Use technology to your advantage and put yourself out there to meet the man of your dreams. Or even just someone fun to hang out with!  Online dating might be a great way to go if you are feeling insecure about your appearance. You will usually have to post a picture. This is helpful, because anyone who approaches you already knows (and accepts) what you look like. Always be honest in your profile. For example, don't post a picture of yourself from 10 years ago. Use caution when meeting someone online. Don't give out personal information, such as your home address or where...

When gripping the racket, your hand should imitate the act of shaking someone’s hand. The head of the racket should be perpendicular to the floor when you hold the racket straight out in front of you. Hold the shuttle from your body at a comfortable distance. Your arm should be relaxed, i.e., not locked or stiff.  At this point, your racket should be cocked back in order to generate momentum to hit the shuttle, as opposed to underneath the shuttle. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart. Your dominant foot should be back. Also stand near the center line. With an underhand stroke, hit the bottom of the shuttle below your waist. Your arm should cross your body and end near your opposite shoulder on the follow-through.  Remember to aim the shuttle toward the court that is diagonal from you. For short serves, the trajectory should be flat. This will force your opponent to return high. For long serves, the shuttle should travel high towards the back line. This will force your opponent to move back to return the shot.

TL;DR in English: Grip the racket in a handshake grip. Cup the shuttle with your off-hand. Hit the shuttle.

Go karts can be many different sizes, shapes, and designs. These homemade vehicles are amenable to any design elements you want to throw into it. The basic essentials are a chassis, a simple engine, and a steering/braking system.  Get creative in your planning for the project and produce detailed diagrams to make sure you get enough materials to complete the job. Look at other go-karts for inspiration and learn from kart-makers who've been there before. Alternatively, you can find schematics and plans online for many different types of models, if you'd rather let someone else do the planning. Use a template and modify it as you see fit. For specific chassis sizing, go to the CIK FIA website: http://www.cikfia.com/fileadmin/content/REGULATIONS/Technical/Technical%20Drawings/2017/Drawing_1.pdf The size of the go-kart should depend on the age and size of the driver. Make sure you plan the go-kart accurately and using specific measurements, in order to fit the correct materials into the kart. There are three sizes of karts, measured from the center of the King Pin to the middle of the rear axle:   Baby kart: Ages 5-8, Frame size: 700 to 900 mm  Cadet kart: Ages 8-12, Frame size: 900 mm to 1010 mm  Full size kart: Ages 12 and up, Frame size 1040 mm If you're short on cash, visit a scrap yard and see if you can pick up any low-cost parts.

Walleye fish are found in different areas depending on the season and type of location. Walleye change their habits based on their spawning schedules. In spring, you can find walleye along sandy shallow areas 3-10 feet from the shore of lakes and rivers. Fish at a depth of about 3-8 feet, depending on the depth of the body of water. You can also find them in the river current. Look for sand near rocky embankments, tree stumps, or other objects in the water. Walleye spawn near these areas, especially in early spring.  You are most likely going to catch smaller males near the spawning beds during this time of year. Females go farther down to hide from the sun and other fish. If you want to catch larger females, you need to fish a little deeper, 10-15 feet into the water. Walleye are school fish, so they travel in groups. Once you catch one walleye, you are likely to catch another. Once the weather and water start to warm up, walleye go deeper into the water or hide in thick weeds. You can also look for islands with gravel patches, rocky drop offs, or areas near the mouth of a river. During the summer, especially when it gets really hot, the walleye will most likely be found 15-35 feet deep. They only come to the shoreline at night to feed. Some of the smaller walleye will be in shallower areas, usually the smaller males. Fishing for walleye in the fall can be frustrating, but it can be done. Due to the decrease in temperature and the dying vegetation in the water, walleye move away from the shoreline and go deeper into the water. Look upstream around deep pools or back moving currents if you are fishing for walleye in rivers. In lakes, walleye go into the middle areas far away from shore and stay around 10-25 feet deep.  If you are fishing in lakes, you may need a depth finder to help you locate where the walleye are congregating. Nights during the fall bring large female walleye out of the water. Between 10:00 pm and 3:00 am, walleye can be found along rocky shoals around 2-3 feet deep.  Although you can fish...

If you're using canned chickpeas, open the cans, drain the chickpeas and then rinse them well. Rinsing the chickpeas will wash away the flavor of the canning water, freshening up and improving the taste of your final dish. The easiest way to rinse them is to pour them into a colander and run them under cold water until they stop foaming. If you're  cooking your own chickpeas from scratch, you'll need soak the chickpeas overnight to get them soft enough to cook. After soaking, drain the water, add fresh water and cook the chickpeas at a simmer until they're fork tender. Drain the water and rinse the chickpeas - now they're ready to use. Use paper towels to dry the chickpeas thoroughly to get them ready to cook. This will ensure the chickpeas get nice and crunchy when you roast them, rather than staying soft. Put the coconut or olive oil in a frying pan and place it over medium heat. Heat it thoroughly. Pour the chickpeas into the frying pan with the oil. Use a wooden spoon to stir them until they're all coated in oil. Mix the turmeric, cumin, and paprika in a bowl until they're thoroughly combined, then pour the spice mixture over the chickpeas. Toss the chickpeas until they're coated in spices. Turn it down to medium low and let the chickpeas cook slowly on one side. After 5 minutes, stir the chickpeas so they can keep cooking. Continue stirring the chickpeas every 5 minutes until they're completely brown and crispy. It should take 15 to 20 minutes. Pour the chickpeas into a bowl and season them with salt and pepper to taste. Serve this quick, tasty treat to your friends or add it to a salad.

TL;DR in English: Rinse the chickpeas. Dry the chickpeas. Heat the oil. Add the chickpeas. Incorporate the spices. Reduce the heat and brown the chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper.

Use bronzer or apply a gold, shimmery foundation to the skin. Try using shades of copper and brown blushes to highlight the cheekbones.  Use a foundation brush to start applying foundation to the center of the face and blend outward.  Apply brown, deep red, nude or gold tinted lipstick. Using jet black liquid eyeliner or eyeliner pencil start in the corner of the upper eyelids (near the bridge of the nose) and apply eyeliner right along the edge of each eyelid.  Extend the eyeliner past the outer corner of your eye lid by about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm).  Apply eyeliner to the bottom eyelid. Start at the bottom corner, directly above the eyelashes, and draw to the outer corner of the eye. Use a small makeup brush and apply a liberal amount of eye shadow on the entire upper eyelid, brushing from the inner corner of the eyelid to the outer corner. Extend the eyeshadow to cover the top of the wingtip you’ve created.  Add a smaller amount of eyeshadow directly underneath the bottom eyelashes and extend to cover the bottom of the wingtip you’ve created. Add a lighter shade of eyeshadow right underneath the brow line for a more dramatic effect. Use shimmery blue, emerald green or gold eyeshadow to dab the upper and lower eyelids. Liberally apply mascara to the upper and lower eyelashes to lengthen them and darken the eyes. Use the brush to pull and extend the eyelashes Start from the inner corner of the eyebrow and fill in the eyebrows with black or dark brown eyebrow pencil all the way to the outer corner. Try to ensure that the eyebrows appear smooth and even all the way across.

TL;DR in English: Bronze up your face and neck. Contour the eye using eyeliner. Fill in the eyelids with eyeshadow. Apply jet black, ultra-lash mascara. Darken the eyebrows with eyebrow pencil.

If you drop or spill an item on your clothes, dab ice water or seltzer immediately so that the stain does not set. Make sure that you dab rather than rub. Before washing spray the area with a stain pre-treatment.   Don't clean stains with hot water, as this will set the stain. Try to get to the stain before it dries, while it is still wet. Don't put stained clothes into the dryer as this will make the stain permanent. Redo the stain treatment, then wash the garment again. Be aware that it may not be possible to remove all stains entirely. In this case, fade the stain as much as possible. Hot sauces, grease, and food can splash and cause damage to clothes.  Don't start making your favorite marinara or standing in front of your deep-fryer without an apron on.   This also goes for arts and crafts. Many paints can stain clothing, so it would be a good idea to wear old jeans and shirts that you no longer care about. If you don't have any aprons or junk clothing to spare while cooking or cleaning, stick with darker clothes. They don't show dirt or stains as easily as light-colored garments. Rather than pulling on them and ruining more stitches, you should snip loose strings and thread as soon as possible. If the seam has already lost too many stitches, consider learning how to stitch or sew, so you can fix the small problem before it becomes a bigger one.   When repairing loose stitching, it is often easier to do it by hand. Always match the thread color to the stitching. While it may be tempting to pull on loose threads, this can actually make the problem worse. Always snip the thread off. Proper washing and drying methods will prevent pills in the first place, but if you already have pilled clothes you can try to fix them yourself, rather than throwing the garment out. You can use a store-bought pilling shaver, but you can also easily remove the bobbles with a pumice stone, a shaving razor, or even a Velcro hair roller.

TL;DR in English: Address stains and spills immediately! Wear aprons or old "junk" clothes while cleaning and cooking. Snip loose strings and threads. Take care of pills.

For some job seekers any job will do, however for the vast majority there are a number of considerations that need to be weighed before deciding where they want to work. By taking the time to think about yourself and what you want to do for a career, you will be starting your job search on the right foot. When considering your skills, think about what are you good at in a professional setting. Moreover, think about which industry these skills are best applicable to. It is also worthwhile to think about what you are interested in doing. If you are interested in your career, you are more likely to be fulfilled through it.  If you are good with people for instance, something in the customer service industry may fit you. If you enjoy fixing cars for instance, why not think about being a mechanic. Some individuals are looking for a job with a strong mission, such as helping others. Others are interested in a high starting salary. What type of mission appeals to you? In addition, you need think about what kind of company you would like to work for. Do you want to work for a large business or a small business? What about setting - urban or rural? Answering these questions can help you have a better idea of where you may want to apply. How much of a factor is your family in your decision? Do you want to live close to your family? If you have a spouse, how will your job search affect his or hers? You may want to coordinate with your family and loved ones while making these decisions.

Depending on the size of the room, this might be hard or easier to do.  It will be easier to introduce dead space into a larger room than it will be to do so into a smaller room.  Fewer things mean more space.  Add mirrors.  Mirrors can create the illusion of space and make the room feel larger than it is.  A horizontally-oriented mirror over the bed is a good option. Look carefully at the layout of your motel room to decide what is crucial and what is not. Don’t introduce lots of chairs, tables, floor lamps, potted plants, or other things that take up space. Keep counters and dresser tops clean of excess objects like placards or small statues. Remove things that are hard to clean or could be easily broken.  For instance, do not include breakable glass statues or candles that could spill wax on the carpet.  Use furniture with rounded corners -- a rounded corner is more difficult to dent than a sharp corner.  Remove objects that attract visible dust like study lamps and instead use wall-mounted lighting. Diagonal views of a room help make the space seem larger.  Instead of placing the door in the center of one wall of the room, for instance, place it in the corner of a wall.  Try to expand the visible angle of the room from the doorway.  For instance, if the bathroom is right next to the entrance to the room, cut the corner that is closest to the center of the room from the bathroom’s layout (turning it into a five-sided bathroom). This is important because people often ask to see a room before they choose to rent one.  First impressions are important, and giving the room a spacious feel can encourage potential customers to stay. Bright lime, orange, and yellow will give the room a fresh, vibrant energy.  Warm colors will inspire enthusiasm and optimism in the guest.  Cooler -- but still vibrant -- colors like blue and green can also energize guests and impart a sense of safety and comfort.  Use one dominant color and white highlights to maintain a clean, minimalistic design. Despite the temptation to simplify...

TL;DR in English: Make the room feel spacious. Minimize maintenance. Encourage diagonal views. Choose vibrant colors. Use vinyl floors. Put soundproofing materials in the walls and beneath the floor.

Exercise will not only support weight loss, but can help you get into a good mindset for the day or week when you're getting back to your normal routine.  Try to include some sort of physical activity about three to four days each week.    Aim for 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity each week.  Incorporating regular aerobic exercise into your daily routine will support your weight loss.  Aerobic activities can include exercises like:  walking, jogging, swimming, biking, or hiking. It's recommended to include two days of strength training each week.  Strength training includes activities like:  weight lifting, Pilates, or isometric exercises like push-ups or crunches. Getting started with an exercise plan can be hard — especially if you're doing it alone.  Working out with a friend or partner can be a great motivator to keep you on track and showing up for your weekly sweat sessions. Experts recommend trying to get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night.  Adequate sleep helps with mood balance and appetite control — both of which are important if you're aiming to get back on track with healthy eating. To help get your body ready for sleep, turn off all lights and electronics.  Also try to avoid using electronics at least 30 minutes prior to your planned sleep time. No matter how long you've overindulged, having a support group or people by your side can make getting back on track be a little easier.  Whether it's your spouse, family, friends or co-workers, a support group can be your cheerleaders that will motivate and encourage you through this process. If you'd like, you can sign up for diet programs like Weight Watchers and go to their weekly support group meetings. Sometimes after a few days of overeating you can begin to feel a bit negative or down.  Repeating positive affirmations daily can help boost your mood and spirits and put you in a better mindset to get back on track. Come up with your own sayings or use a few of these daily:  "My body feels great when I...

TL;DR in English: Exercise. Get eight hours of sleep. Find or build a support group. Repeat positive affirmations daily.

Look near the channel fader for a small button labeled “Mute.” When you click the button, the audio from all the other channels will continue going through the mixer while the selected channel will be quiet. When you want the audio to go through your mixer again, press the “Mute” button to start the audio.  Pressing the audio won’t make the original input source stop working, but you won’t be able to hear it through the speakers or headphones attached to the mixer. You can mute multiple tracks at the same time if you want to. Look next to the “Mute” button for another that’s labeled “Solo.” When you press the solo button, every other channel will mute so you can only hear the channel you selected. When you want to start the other inputs, press the “Solo” button a second time to turn it off.  Soloing a channel on a mixer allows you to easily make adjustments to specific instruments or vocals without lowering the faders on the other channels. You can solo multiple channels at the same time. Auxiliary channels work well when you need to send copies of audio to specific monitors or put effects on them. Plug the monitor or effects rig into one of the ports on your mixer labeled “AUX” to start using the labeled auxiliary port. Turn the knob labeled “AUX” on the channel you want to send to adjust the volume level of the input.  Make sure you’re using the auxiliary knob that matches the auxiliary channel you’re plugged into. You can send multiple channels to an auxiliary channel. For example, you may use an auxiliary channel if you’re a singer and want to hear the drums and guitars in a monitor so you stay on beat.

TL;DR in English: Press the “Mute” button on a channel to turn off its audio. Click the “Solo” button on a channel to isolate it. Use an auxiliary channel to “send” an audio signal to another source.

There are many online sources and several books that claim that switching to a more balanced and healthy diet can lead to improved fertility. Though it is always beneficial to eat a healthy diet, it should not replace other fertility treatments and options. However, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle may reduce a woman's risk of irregular ovulation and could improve her chances of getting pregnant. During the scientific study of fertility diets, the trials were focused on a specific condition found in infertile women: ovulatory dysfunction, or irregular ovulation. Women who have ovulatory dysfunction may benefit from adjustments to their diet if they want to try to get pregnant. For example, one study done by the Nurses’ Health Study tested over 18,000 women who were trying to get pregnant over an eight-year period. Only about 400 of these women were diagnosed with infertility related to irregular ovulation. Thus, the study linking nutrition and fertility was in fact only based on a very small number of women in the test group and may not be applicable to women who do not have irregular ovulation. Before you try a fertility diet, speak to your physician about other medical options to treat fertility issues or infertility. There are several certified medical procedures to help you get pregnant, as well as other options to help improve your chances of getting pregnant. You may be a good candidate for fertility drugs that will help regulate your ovulation. Your doctor may also suggest in vitro fertilization, intrauterine insemination, embryo testing, or reproductive immunology.

Place 3-4 pumps of conditioner into your hand, then rub your hands together to evenly distribute the product. Run your fingers through your hair, spreading the conditioner from roots to ends. Continue this raking motion until you’ve worked the conditioner through all of your hair and curls have started to form.  Pump out more conditioner as needed, coating all of the hair well. You may need extra conditioner if you have long, thick hair. This conditioning step will give your hair plenty of moisture and help prevent frizz when you dry it. This product can act as a leave-in conditioner as well, so if your hair is feeling brittle and dry, only rinse out about a quarter of the conditioner. Use a low-pressure stream of cool water so you don’t disturb the curl pattern forming. A little conditioner left in will help protect your hair from frizzing during the drying process. With some cool, low-pressure water, wash out most of the conditioner in your hair and leave a little behind.

TL;DR in English: Use your fingers to gently rake conditioner through your hair. Leave in most of the conditioner if you have dry hair. Rinse out most of the conditioner if your hair is already well-moisturized.

Ask your date questions without “yes” or “no” answers so that they don’t feel like they’re being interrogated. Get to know your date’s personality and lifestyle. Does this person seem like someone who shares your goals and complements your personality? See if your date likes the same things that you do, or if your date could introduce you to something you’ve always wanted to try. Here’s a list of questions to get you started:  What do you like to do on weekends? What is one thing on your bucket list? What’s the best book you’ve read in the past six months? What in your life are you proud of?  “What do you do? Do you enjoy your job?” “What is your best friend like?” “Do you want to try some of my food?” “Are you a morning person?” “Do you have roommates? Who are they?” Give your date realistic information about yourself, your life, your interests, and your thoughts. Your date is here to get to know you. Don’t dominate the conversation, but do express yourself as you would in typical conversations with friends or potential partners. Find connections between your date and yourself. Make eye contact with your date. Smile. Practice good posture. Nod at what the other person is saying. Occasionally, summarize what the other person says and show an interest in the other person’s interests.  For example, you could say, “It sounds like you have a great relationship with your mother! When was the last time you saw her?” Or, “You seem like you really love your job. How did you get interested in public service?” Tell your date if you want to see them again. Get their number and call them within a couple of days. If you don’t want to see your date again, tell them that you had a nice time and that you hope they have a good rest of their evening. Don’t be overtly cruel about rejecting someone, but don’t feel as though you have to give them false hope by saying you want to see them again when you don’t.

TL;DR in English: Ask open-ended questions about your date. Talk about yourself. Practice active listening skills. Be honest about next steps.

Mindfulness is a form of meditation that calls attention to the present moment – the smells, the sounds, body sensations, and your thoughts and emotions – and asks you to experience them without judgement. You don't try to fight your negative thoughts, but you do not engage them, either. You acknowledge their existence (try naming them – "anger," "fear," etc.) and try not to react or judge.  The benefits of mindfulness include reduced rumination (dwelling on negative thoughts), reduced stress, and improved cognitive flexibility, making it easier for you to break out of old thought patterns.  Mindfulness will help you focus less on the "what-if's" of the future and "should-haves" of the past, and instead engage you in the present moment so you can fully participate in your life. Your negative thoughts may fill you with such anxiety that you walk around with your body tensed and don't even realize it. Learning to relax your muscles will help you feel the difference between your relaxed muscle and tense muscle, which can help you identify when you are becoming anxious and tense during the day. Progressive muscle relaxation can help you lower overall tension and stress, improve sleep, and reduce stomachaches and headaches related to anxiety. You can change your physical and emotional response to stress by practicing focused breathing. This is an easy technique for adults and kids alike, and can take as little as six seconds to halt your stress response.  When you begin to feel stressed, start by closing your eyes and relaxing your shoulders.  Imagine holes in the bottoms of your feet. Take a deep breath in and imagine hot air entering your body through the holes and flowing upwards to fill your lungs. Relax each muscle as you imagine the air passing through – your calves, thighs, stomach, etc.  Exhale and reverse the visualization, imagining the air flowing back out of your body and exiting through the holes in your feet. This can be an especially effective short-term tactic if your negative thoughts are related...
