Talk to administrators. Ask parents to get involved. Use social media to gather support. Let people contribute in their own way. Ensure that improvements continue.

Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart. Step forward with one foot, stepping one foot a normal walking step ahead of the other. Instead of lowering your foot all the way down to the ground, touch just your heel to the ground with your toes flexed toward the ceiling. Gently lower your toes toward the ground, but don't touch the sole of your foot to the ground. Raise your toes back up and return to your beginning stance. Do 10–15 reps on this side. Next, switch legs and repeat on the other side. Do 10–15 reps on that side as well. Grab a towel or exercise band. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Wrap the exercise band or towel around the arch of the foot on the leg that is straight out. Using the towel or band, pull your foot toward you. Hold for 10–15 seconds. Repeat two to three times on each foot. This can also be used to alleviate shin splints. Sit on the floor near a table or stationary object. Using a resistance band, wrap the band around the stable surface, such as a table leg. Loop the other side of the resistance band around the top of one of your feet. Once it is looped, pull your foot toward your knee, pulling against the resistance band. Hold for 10–15 seconds. Do 10–15 reps on one leg. Change feet and repeat the reps. Do three sets in all.  This exercise strengthens your lower leg and helps reduce the recurrence of shin splints. You can increase your strength by using heavier resistance bands or increasing to 20-30 reps. Stand with your heel together and toes pointed out. Slowly raise up onto your toes. After a few seconds, slowly lower yourself back down. Repeat 10–15 times. This exercise strengthens your calf muscles and helps promote balance. You can perform another kind of calf raise to strengthen a different set of calf muscles. Start with your big toes touching and your heels far apart. Slowly raise up onto your toes as high as you can go. After a few seconds, lower yourself back down. Repeat 10–15 times. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Start...

TL;DR in English: Try heel step-downs. Perform calf stretches. Do shin resistance exercises. Perform calf raises. Walk on your heels.

You need to know exactly what you want to happen when you have the conversation. Do you want to go to a dance? Do you want a later curfew? Do you want to go out to a special dinner with your parents? Think about what you want from the conversation. It can even help to write it down. Make sure you have all the important details. Having details will help you answer questions. Answering questions will calm your parents down. For instance, if you want to spend the night at friend's house, you'll need to know if her parents will be there, when the night will start, what you'll need to bring, and when your parents can pick you up. It also might help to have a phone number for your friend's parents. That way, your parents can call her parents. You don't want to talk when your parents are busy. Pick a time when they have a moment to sit down with you. It should be a time when you can have their full attention. If you can't figure out a time, ask your parents when a good time would be. If you keep trying to draw it out, you're just going to get more nervous. As soon as you get your parents together, just begin what you have to say.  For instance, you could start by saying, "I have something I want to discuss with you, and I hope you will keep an open mind. I'd like to go to the dance this Saturday night." If you absolutely can't get it out right away, it's okay to start the conversation with something else, as long as you get to the point eventually. A good way to convince someone to do something is to tell the person what good it will do them.Think about how your parents will benefit from what you are doing, and bring that up.  As an example, if you're trying to get your parents to let you go out for a night, you could say, "As an added bonus, you'd get the house all to yourself!" Another example is if you're trying to get your parents to eat out somewhere, mention their favorite dishes. If you try to lie or give a half truth, your parents may not trust you in the future if they find out. Plus, they know you pretty...

TL;DR in English: Decide what you want your parents to do. Write down what you want to say. Pick a good time and place. Begin talking. Let them know what's in it for them. Speak the truth. Talk about yourself. Back up what you say. Hear your parents out. Be civil.

There is compelling scientific evidence that a plant-based diet, comprised of vegetables, legumes and whole grains is considerably healthier than the typical meat-eater's diet.  This shows up in several different metrics that you can mention to make a strong case:   Life expectancy: Studies show that a vegetarian diet is linked to lower death rates and longer life expectancy. Geographical and historical studies have shown that societies with low meat consumption, such as those in the Russian Caucasus or the Hunzakuts of Pakistan, live considerably longer (generally over 80 years old) than societies (such as the Eskimos or the Greenlanders) that have the highest meat consumption in the world.   Cancer: There is evidence to suggest that vegetarians have about half the cancer risk of meat-eaters. Red meat and processed meats like hot dogs, ham, sausages or bacon, in particular, have been labeled by the World Health Organization as carcinogenic to humans.   Heart disease.  Studies have shown that vegetarians have a lower risk of obesity and coronary heart disease. This is often attributed to the fact that vegetarian diets are generally lower in fat than non-vegetarian diets.  However, eating more vegetables, legumes, and whole grains can actually decrease cholesterol levels, which is a primary indicator for coronary artery disease. A plant-based diet can be delicious and nutritious, sufficient even for top athletes who burn a lot of calories and seek to build muscle. Emphasizing the positive aspects of vegetarianism, such as how it might increase well-being, is a good way to convince people rather than making them feel guilty about their choices.  Terms like "conscious" or "compassionate" eating may be more appealing to some people as they emphasize the positive consequences of making certain food choices rather than requiring them to fit into the strict category of being "vegetarian". Meat is expensive and is generally the highest priced item on grocery bills. A recently published study suggests that vegetarians...

TL;DR in English: Present the health benefits of a vegetarian diet. Emphasize the positive aspects of vegetarianism. Mention that becoming vegetarian can save money.

If you think that your school needs improvement, you can start by talking to its administrators (a principal or headmaster, for example). You might also attend local school board meetings to voice your opinion. Getting administrative support is important not only because many projects will need official approval, but also because it is a way of communicating your concerns. Don’t be shy about asking to meet with your school administrators. If you are serious about improving your school and have some ideas, most will be happy to hear from you. Schools aren’t just places for students to learn—they are also an important cornerstone of any community. Families also care about schools and will want to be involved with any improvements that need to be made. Parents can get together at a Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) meeting, school board meeting, booster club event, or other opportunity and consider ways of helping to improve your school. While some people may not think that social media have educational value, social networks can be a powerful tool for organizing people. Make sure that your school is active on all major social media services. If it isn’t, talk to your school administrators about getting started. Anytime your school has an improvement campaign or project going on, advertise it widely using these services to boost involvement. Many school improvements will need a lot of support. However, this doesn’t mean that everyone has to contribute in the same way. When raising support to improve your school, make sure that people understand there is room for everyone to help. For example:  Some might be great at organizing people, while others will have talents in writing or design. Some will be able to devote time during school hours only, while others will have more time after school hours or on weekends. Some might be able to get involved on the school grounds itself, while others might be great at gathering support for your school within the surrounding community (by fundraising, for example). Efforts to...

In places where TB is more common, infants are often vaccinated with the bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine against TB. The vaccine is not routinely given in the US, but if you expect to be at a higher risk, then ask your doctor if it is likely to be useful for you. You may be at a higher risk if:  You will be living and working in a country where TB is more common. You have a lowered immune system making you more vulnerable to contracting TB if you are exposed. People who have a higher risk are those who have HIV/AIDS, who are taking immune suppressing medications, or are receiving chemotherapy. TB is spread through droplets, so if you wear a respirator it lessens your chances of infection if you live with someone who has recently been diagnosed. You cannot wear just any surgical or medical mask, however. You must wear a specific respirator mask (such as N95 disposable respirators) to protect yourself from TB.  The person with TB should also wear a respirator. Keep the respirator on for the first three weeks of treatment. In addition, the infected person should:  Open windows to ventilate the room she is in. Sleep in a separate room to reduce the amount of time you spend breathing the same air. Stay home from work or school. The treatment requires a long course of medications, but it is important that they be completed without skipping any doses. This protects both the infected person and those around him, because:  It reduces the likelihood of the bacteria developing resistance to the medications. Drug resistant strains are much more difficult to eradicate if they spread to others.

TL;DR in English: Discuss the vaccine with your doctor. Wear a respirator around a family member with TB. Help a loved one with TB finish the entire course of treatment.

When it comes to illustrating, you need to keep the dimensions of your pages in mind to make the most of it. This includes leaving enough space for the text, and making your drawings big enough that they occupy an acceptable amount of space on the page. To get a better grasp of this, it's a good idea to make miniature 'storyboards' to visualize how big certain objects on the page should be when compared to others. Doing a double-page illustration (where one panel of the story encompasses two pages to make a larger image) is an ambitious move if this is your first time making a picture book, but it's perfect for climactic parts of the story that somehow warrant more than a single frame. Before you even set them to paper in a serious way, you should have a very clear idea how you want your art to occupy space on the page. Having a notebook on the side to plan out and develop your ideas freehand is far preferred over jumping into the picture book impromptu. While you're planning out the illustrations, try to make them as close and applicable to the writing as possible. Whenever you're left in doubt, refer to what you've written in the story. Try to keep a consistent tone and style throughout the book. A picture book that goes all over the place will stand a much weaker chance of making an impression than one that drives the same point consistently. The vast majority of stories center around the exploits of characters. For most traditional narratives, you'll need to get really good at drawing (and redrawing) a handful of characters. It is recommended you spend some time practicing your character designs once you have a basic framework for your story. The more you draw the character, the more chances you'll have to get the look right and change things if need be. Visual design is incredibly important for characters in picture books. If you have trouble visualizing what your story's characters look like, try meditating and letting the story play out in your head. Failing that, studying the character design in other...

TL;DR in English: Outline a storyboard. Organize and develop your illustration ideas. Design and practice drawing your characters. Add dimension to the illustrations. Draw your finished illustrations on high-quality paper. Draw up a title page.

Close your eyes from time to time and picture what your life will be like after you've achieved your goal. Tell yourself that you've already received the goal, and imagine what your mind, home, relationships, and thoughts will be like when you get the thing you wanted the most. This is a great motivational tactic, especially when you're feeling down and like you'll never be able to make your dreams come true. Visualizing the excitement and joy that will fill your life once you achieve your goals will make them feel much more attainable. If you want to succeed in making your dreams come true, then you can't be a Negative Nancy whenever something goes wrong or when your dream seems insurmountable. You have to keep your head up, believe in yourself, and trudge on forward. It's perfectly natural to have some doubts and to question yourself along the way, but in the end, you have to have faith in your abilities, because if you don't believe in yourself, then no one else will.  Keeping up a positive attitude will go a long way in helping you maintain your confidence. If you only imagine the worst that can happen in any situation, then it'll be more likely to occur. Likewise, a negative attitude can also interfere with your confidence. Though it's important to be persistent about following your dreams and achieving your goals, you have to remember to take some breaks and allow yourself to rest and stay calm. You don't want to fill yourself with anxiety, cut back on sleep, or forget to have fun with your friends. In fact, slowing down and relaxing every once in a while will actually make you more eager to achieve your goals when it's time to return to them.  Meditation can help you stay calm, feel at peace, and work on visualizing your goals. Yoga is also great for connecting your mind and body, and helping you let go of any hang-ups that are gnawing at you and preventing you from reaching your potential. It's important to stay happy and healthy throughout the process and to never forget to take care of yourself, no...

TL;DR in English: Visualize success. Maintain your confidence. Don't forget to make time for relaxation. Learn from failure. Accept constructive criticism along the way. Make the necessary sacrifices. Remove any hurdles that stand in your way. Drop the excuses. Reevaluate your dream if you can't achieve it.

Try stress-reducing techniques. Quit smoking Laugh. Sleep seven to nine hours at night. Consider reducing your alcohol intake. Check your blood pressure on a regular basis.

This will allow at the salt and sugar to become evenly distributed throughout the flour. If you do not have a food processor, then put everything into a bowl and stir it briskly with a fork. You can also use plain flour instead of all-purpose flour. Start with ¾ cup (180 milliliters) of water; you will be adding the rest later, depending on how dry the dough is. Most food processors should have a spout at the top where you can pour ingredients through without taking the lid off. After a while, the dough should start to come away from the sides of the food processor. If the dough is still too dry and has floury clumps in it, add the rest of the water, one tablespoon at a time. Do this until the dough clumps together and comes away from the walls of the food processor.  If you do not have a food processor, make a hole in the middle of your flour mixture, and pour the lemon juice and water in. Stir it with a fork until the dough clumps together. The lemon juice will help make the dough more elastic and easier to roll out. You won't taste it once you bake the pastry. The square should measure 6 inches (15.24 centimeters) on each side. Do not make the square too thin. This will make the dough easier to work with later. During this time, you can start preparing the butter. Make sure that the butter sticks are touching each other and that the flour is spread evenly across them. Keep doing this until the flour becomes ingrained in the butter. Once you are done mashing, remove the top parchment sheet. The square should measure 8 inches (20.30 centimeters) on each side. Leave it there for one hour. This will allow the butter to cool back down and become more manageable later. You want to end up with a square that it is about 11 inches (27.94 centimeters) on each side. Unwrap the butter and position it so that the corners are touching the flat sides of the dough square. Then, lift the corners of the dough and fold them towards the middle of the butter, creating a square-shaped packet. Do not make it too thin, and make...

TL;DR in English: Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor for a few seconds. Add the lemon juice and part of the water into the food processor while it is still running. Transfer the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat it into a square. Wrap the dough up and put it in the refrigerator for one hour. Put unwrapped butter sticks on a sheet of parchment paper and cover them with 2 tablespoons of flour. Cover the flour and butter with another sheet of parchment paper and mash it with a rolling pin. Roll the butter out into a square. Wrap the butter with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator. Unwrap the dough and roll it out on a lightly-floured surface. Set the butter in the middle of the and wrap the dough around it. Roll the packet out into a rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds. Turn the dough packet to one side by 90 degrees. Repeat the rolling and folding one more time. Wrap the packet with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. Roll and fold the dough into thirds four more times, chilling it in between. Put the dough into the refrigerator for one hour before baking with it.

When cleaning an acrylic bathtub, stay away from harsh astringent powders such as Comet and Ajax, as well as harsh chemicals like bleach. Acrylic is a soft material and is therefore easily damaged. These types of products are almost guaranteed to ruin your tub's finish. It's generally a good idea to start with the gentlest cleaning solution available to you and work your way up to more powerful options if that doesn't work. Distilled white vinegar makes an excellent natural cleaning solution, especially on smooth surfaces like acrylic that release stains easily. Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and keep it on hand for routine bathroom cleaning tasks. Apply the vinegar liberally to completely cover the affected area. Lemon juice makes a fine alternative to vinegar if you happen to have some in the refrigerator. As it sits, the acidity in the vinegar will break down mold, grime and discoloration so that they can wiped away with ease. You may even see stains begin to dissolve and run off on their own, before you even begin scrubbing.  Make sure you give the vinegar ample time to begin working. For especially troublesome spots, sprinkle a little baking soda onto the vinegar as it soaks. The yellow side of a normal dish sponge will do the trick. After being soaked with vinegar, dirt and grime should simply lift off with little difficulty. Use a quick back and forth scrubbing motion, and continue treating the stains until they vanish. You can also use specialty scrubbing tools, like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which are made from porous melamine foam for added stain-fighting power. Run the faucet for a few minutes to wash away every last trace of dissolved grime and dirty vinegar solution. If you’re cleaning a bathtub with an adjustable shower head, turn it on and direct the stream over the areas you just treated. Once it’s clean, the tub will need to dry so that stain-causing bacteria doesn’t return.  Most bathtub stains are the result of germs that create a filmy residue as they accumulate. Leave the shower...

TL;DR in English: Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners. Spray the stains with vinegar. Allow the vinegar to sit for 10-20 minutes. Wipe away the stains with a soft sponge. Rinse out the inside of the tub.

Cleaning can be a drag, but the best way to stop your home from smelling like your pets is to clean regularly and stay on top of messes. A good cleaning routine will include regular vacuuming, floor washing, laundry, and dusting. For the best results:  Vacuum three times a week Clean hard floors weekly with a vinegar and water solution Dust weekly Do laundry as necessary when you have a full load Clean carpets every couple of months You may be tempted to leave extra nasty messes for later, but try to act as soon as possible to avoid lingering odors. Pick up solid waste and throw it in the garbage. Blot the mess to absorb excess moisture. Spray the mess with an enzyme cleaner, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then, blot the area with rags or a cloth and let it air dry. Urine, feces, and vomit can leave especially troublesome smells, so prioritize these for a better smelling home. Pet smells build up over time, so it’s important to stay on top of cleaning and washing. Wash your pet’s bed, fabric toys, leashes, and collars in the washing machine every month. Wash hard toys every month in the sink with soap and water. Water bowls need more frequent attention--wash these with soap and water every week. A well groomed pet not only smells good, but looks good, too. Regularly bathe your pet, clip their nails, and brush their teeth. Keeping up with regular grooming can drastically improve the smell of your house, because fur, dirty nails, and even bad breath can make your house stink.  Brush your pet every day to remove excess fur and dirt. Brush your pet’s teeth at least three times a week for good oral hygiene and fresh breath. Bathe your dog at least once a month, and more for dogs with particularly smelly fur. Pets love to explore. This brings them a lot of joy, but also means that they can track all kinds of stinky substances into the house. To prevent this, leave a towel by the door and always wipe your pet’s paws when it comes inside. This is especially important on rainy and muddy days, or if your pet rolled in...

TL;DR in English: Get into a regular cleaning routine. Clean pet messes immediately. Wash toys, bedding, and accessories regularly. Keep your pet well-groomed. Wipe paws before your pet comes inside. Put a washable cover on furniture. Keep the litter box clean.

You can try yoga, listen to calming music, meditate, exercise, or talk to friends to reduce daily stress. Stress can damage your heart function and increase the inflammatory response in your body. It can also affect behaviors that impact your arteries and heart function. For example, many people turn to alcohol, smoking, overeating, and don't have much time for rest or exercise when stressed. This leads to high blood pressure, arterial wall damage and obesity that can all damage your heart function. Try a variety of stress-reducing techniques until you find one that relaxes you. You might also try deep-breathing exercises, massage, hypnosis, or tai chi. . Talk with your doctor about a smoking cessation program that will work with your lifestyle. Or, at least try to reduce smoking, since it contains thousands of chemicals that can seriously damage your heart. Smoking reduces heart function by increasing blood pressure, reducing exercise tolerance and increasing the likelihood that the blood will clot. Nicotine, the addictive compound in cigarettes, is known to increase heart rate and blood pressure. You should also take care to avoid secondhand smoke, which can also damage your heart. Stay in open outdoor areas, upwind from friends and relatives who like to smoke. Laughing can also reduce stress, which improves heart function. Researchers found that the old saying “laughter is the best medicine” holds some truth. They found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh compared to other people of the same age without heart disease. Make it a point to find the things in life that give you joy and make you laugh every day. You might try:  Watching a funny movie or television show Reading comedy books Laughing about the funny things your pet does Spending time around people that make you laugh Sleeping less than six hours a night or more than nine can increase your risk of heart disease and death.

Before you jump right into your plan for an animal shelter, you should consider how your shelter will differ from the other shelters in your area. If there is already an animal shelter that focuses on small dogs, for example, you may not want to also base your shelter around housing small dogs.  Think about a need in the community or in the animal adoption market that your animal shelter could fill. This could be older or elderly dogs who do not often get adopted or maimed animals that are not often accepted into larger animal shelters. This will also ensure that you are not competing with other animal shelters in your area and give your animal shelter a clear focus. Though the animal shelter is made for the wellbeing of animals, it is also a business. You should treat it as a business that needs to be sustainable and appealing. Get your finances for the shelter in order by sitting down and drawing up a budget. The budget should cover all start up costs, all outgoing expenses, and all incoming funds. Your budget should cover:  Costs for the shelter structure: This should include rent payments or building maintenance payments. You may also need to cover heating, water, and electricity expenses. Shelter supplies: This should include any equipment needed to make the shelter functional for animals, food for the animals, cleaning materials, and waste disposal. Animal care supplies: This should include the costs for routine vet treatment, neutering services, microchipping, and animal toys. You may also need to insure your vehicle as a shelter vehicle to transport animals to and from the shelter. Some animal shelter owners will treat the animal shelter as a part time job and will supplement the start up costs with their full time income at another job. This option is useful if you live in a household where two people both have stable, full time jobs and can donate a portion of their income to the shelter. Talk to your local chapter of The Humane Society and other national animal welfare associations to get a sense...

TL;DR in English: Identify the animal shelter’s focus or speciality. Create a budget for the shelter. Use part of your income as start up funding. Apply for government grants. Take out a business loan. Fundraise in your area and online. Apply for an animal shelter license.

Adultery is generally a valid ground for divorce. Therefore, if you believe your spouse has been cheating on you and you want a divorce, you may need to prove adultery in order to finalize your legal proceedings. Also, in many states, if you are filing a no-fault divorce (meaning neither party is taking responsibility for the divorce), you will need to wait for up to one year before you can file divorce papers. However, if you are filing for a fault-based divorce, which would include a divorce based on adultery, you will be able to file immediately. If your spouse commits adultery and you can prove it in court during divorce proceedings, some states will use the information when deciding issues of alimony and property division. In some states, proving your spouse was adulterous will bar that spouse from collecting spousal support all together. Proof of adultery is often hard to come by considering the act's nature of secrecy (i.e., you do not usually commit it out in the open for everyone to see). Also, adultery does not necessarily mean that your spouse had sexual intercourse, it could also mean you were sexually intimate. Therefore, most courts do not require proof of the adulterous act itself. Instead, most courts require you to prove:  First, that your spouse had a disposition to commit adultery. A disposition is a tendency to act in a certain way. In this case, it is a tendency to act in an adulterous manner. Second, that your spouse had the opportunity to commit adultery. An opportunity to commit adultery is showing that your spouse had the time and ability to commit adultery in any specific situation. If you have direct evidence, which can be eyewitness accounts or photographs of the adulterous act, then you should be able to prove adultery. However, direct evidence is usually hard to come by because the spouse committing adultery is often keeping a low profile and cheating in private. In South Carolina, courts have recognized this difficulty and, like most states, do not require direct evidence in...

TL;DR in English: Know why you would want to prove adultery. Understand the consequences of committing adultery. Know what you need to prove. Use direct evidence. Use circumstantial evidence. Think about other possible reasonable explanations. Be careful not to condone the adulterous activities.

Before you can access your router's page, you'll need to have an Internet connection, both to show you the proper address and to allow you to connect to the router. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear. It's in the drop-down menu. Doing so opens the System Preferences window. You'll find this globe-shaped icon in the System Preferences window. The Network window will open. It's in the lower-right side of the window. This prompts a pop-up window to appear. This option is at the top of the pop-up window. The number to the right of "Router:" is your router's address. This number will be in the form of an IP address, and will start with 192.168. In your preferred web browser, enter the default gateway number into the address bar and press ⏎ Return. For example, if the default gateway number is "192.168.1.1", you would type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar. Skip this step if not prompted for a username or password. If you've already set up the security settings for your router (i.e., when you initially installed the router), enter the username and password you chose then. If not, common default login credentials include the following:   Linksys routers — Type admin for both the username and the password.  Netgear routers — Type admin for the username and password for the password. Check your router's manual to confirm the default password and username. If you've forgotten your login information, you may have to reset the router. Your router username and password may also be located on a sticker on the router. Once your router's page is open, you can proceed with forwarding a port.

TL;DR in English:


Clean and protect your hands. Clean and protect your hands. Help the victim to sit up. Assess the cut. Apply pressure. Prepare ice for the injury. Rinse your mouth. Continue normal dental care. Monitor your injury. Change what you eat. Wait for the wound to heal.

Use bleach to clean surfaces. Rinse surfaces with clean water after using bleach. Clean areas exposed to feces or vomit. Clean your carpets. Disinfect clothing.

Mouth and tongue injuries occur often in children, who will need to be reassured.  Cutting the tongue can be a painful and frightening experience, so help whoever is injured to relax.  Keeping both yourself and the injured calm will help as you treat the injury. Before touching or helping anyone with a cut, you should wash your hands to reduce the chances of infection.  You may also want to use medical gloves when aiding the victim, as blood can carry diseases. By sitting up straight and tipping the mouth and head forward, blood can flow out of the mouth, rather than down the throat.  Swallowing blood can cause vomiting, and sitting up with the head tilted forward will help prevent this. A cut to the tongue will likely produce a lot of bleeding; however, it is the depth and size of the injury you will examine.  If the cut itself is shallow, you can proceed with home treatment.  If the wound is deep or longer than ½ an inch, your should seek medical attention. If something has punctured your tongue, it may require professional care. If you suspect foreign material has become lodged in the wound, you need to see a doctor. Use gauze or a clean cloth to apply steady pressure to the injury for about fifteen minutes.  This will help stop the flow of blood.  If you notice blood has soaked through the cloth or gauze, apply more, without removing the original piece. Wrap an ice cube in a clean, thin, cloth.  This will be held against the wounded area to reduce blood flow and prevent pain and swelling.  Hold the ice bundle directly on the wound for no more than three minutes at a time. This can be done up to ten times a day. You may also simply suck on an ice cube or hold one in your mouth.  To make the application of ice more enjoyable, you can try using a popsicle. Apply ice only on the first day of the injury. Make sure both your hands and the cloth are clean. The day after the injury is sustained, you should begin rinsing your mouth with a warm salt water solution.  This can be done up to six times a day. Rinsing...

TL;DR in English: Calm the injured person down. Clean and protect your hands. Help the victim to sit up. Assess the cut. Apply pressure. Prepare ice for the injury. Rinse your mouth. Continue normal dental care. Monitor your injury. Change what you eat. Wait for the wound to heal.

Chlorine bleach is an effective cleaning agent that kills norovirus.  Increase the concentration or buy a new bottle of chlorine bleach if the bleach you have has been open for more than a month. Bleach becomes less effective the longer it remains open. Before applying bleach to a visible surface, test it somewhere that is not easily seen to make sure that it won’t damage the surface. If the surface is damaged by bleach, you can also use phenolic solutions, such as Pine-Sol, to clean the surface. There are certain concentrations of chlorine bleach you can use for different surfaces.  For stainless steel surfaces and items used for food consumption: Dissolve one tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water and clean the stainless steel. For non-porous surfaces like countertops, sinks, or tile floors: Dissolve one third of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. For porous surfaces, like wooden floors: Dissolve one and two thirds of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. After cleaning the surfaces, leave the solution to work for 10 to 20 minutes. After the time period elapses, rinse the surface with clean water. After these two steps, close off the area, and leave it like that for one hour. Leave the windows open, if possible, as breathing in bleach can be hazardous to your health. For areas exposed to feces or vomit contamination there are special cleaning procedures that you should try to follow. This is because the vomit or feces of a person contaminated with norovirus can easily cause you to become infected. To clean the vomit or feces:  Put disposable gloves on. Consider wearing a facemask that covers your mouth and nose as well. Using paper towels, gently clean the vomit and feces. Be careful not to splash or drip while cleaning. Use disposable cloths to clean and disinfect the entire area with chlorine bleach. Use sealed plastic bags to dispose of all the waste materials. If the feces or vomit gets on a carpeted area, there are other steps you can take to make sure that the area is clean and disinfected. To...

Pick the right kind of leash. Avoid using punishment-based training techniques. Tackle the excitement associated with wearing a leash.

Your sense of humor is particular to the way your mind works, and has a lot to do with how you were socialized.  The next time you find something funny, think it over. What is funny about it? Was it surprising? Familiar? Exaggerated? Write down all the elements if you can. What elements could be altered or removed for the humor to be lost?  For example, you might laugh at a video of someone falling while trying to impress someone. You would probably still laugh if they fell and weren't trying to impress someone, but you would laugh less. If they fell and were badly hurt, you probably wouldn't laugh at all. Determine whether or not you share a sense of humor with anyone you know. Does only your sister know how to make you laugh? Ask her what makes her laugh. Your sense of humor is likely to skew toward your other abilities. Are you a mathematical thinker? You might find wordplay funny. Are you a big-picture thinker? You might have a strong sense of irony. Think about your strengths and how they connect to the things that amuse you. The next time you don't get a joke, don't despair. Think it through. Did you not understand that it was meant to be a joke? Did you think it was a serious statement, or did you think it was a mistake? Most jokes depend on social context to be understood. Study your friends and colleagues when they find something funny. What do they react to?  If you understand that something is a joke, but you are offended, ask yourself what bad feelings the joke brought up. It is often harder to take humor that is about our weaknesses and wounds. Check to see if you are missing social context. Ask a friend to explain their joke if you don't understand it. You might find the joke funny once you understand why your friend does. Watch different comedies and videos of stand-up comedians to learn the kinds of humor that appeal to you. If videos do not ever make you laugh, try listening to recording of a comedian, and reading humorous novels and comics. You might find you respond more to written words...

TL;DR in English: Figure out what you find funny. Figure out what you don't find funny. Explore comedy.

Never strike or yell at a puppy if she disobeys you. Bernese Mountain Dog tend to be very mild tempered and obedient but they, like all dogs, will take some time to train. Hitting it will only make the puppy fear you and confuse her — never strike your dog. If you in the middle of a training session and she doesn't fully understand, do not become impatient and scold her. After all, the puppy or dog is only learning.  If you find that you are losing your patience, step away from the dog and try again later. Bernese Mountain Dogs are extremely affectionate and want to please — scolding or punishing may have an extremely detrimental affect on your Bernese. Focus on positive reinforcement instead of punishment. This could be with a tiny tasty treat or just praise as the dog develops. If the dog knows he gets a treat for good behavior, and bad behavior is ignored, then he is likely to reproduce good behavior it was rewarded for.  When you catch your dog or puppy chewing or destroying something he shouldn’t, remove either the dog or the object from the dog and distract him with something it can “destroy” or chew on, like a toy. Then praise him for chewing on the right thing — the toy. Keep a bag of treats in a Ziploc bag in your pocket or in a “fanny” type bag at your waist. This means you will always have a treat handy. You never know when an opportunity to train will pop up during the day! During the first few weeks of training a puppy’s attention span is short, usually less than five minutes. As your puppy gets older and starts to associate training times with pleasant interaction with you, the training time can be increased. You will know the dog's attention span is increasing when the puppy focuses more on the training sessions than on wandering off and playing. You can teach your puppy commands from the moment she arrives home. Keep training sessions short (less than five minutes) and practice three to five times a day.  Your Bernese Mountain Dog should be able to learn a variety of commands. Start with leash...

TL;DR in English: Be patient. Reward good behavior. Keep training sessions short. Start training your dog immediately.

Imagine that you have a new, $25,000 car and you get into an accident. It isn't your fault, so the other driver's insurance company pays to have your car repaired. You would think that your car is still worth $25,000 because it looks good as new. However, this isn't the case. If you tried to sell the car, you might get considerably less for it, maybe $20,000, once the buyer or dealership determined that the car had been in accident. This is diminished value, and it can drastically hurt the resale value of any vehicle. Diminished value isn't the only determinate of sale price. The actual sale price depends upon such things as depreciation, damage, the extent of repairs, and the popularity of the car's make and model. Diminished value must be calculated by car dealerships and private buyers when determining what they are willing to pay for a used car. This helps the buyer get a fair discount for the vehicle if it has an accident history. However, because of the money lost in diminished value, claims are often made against insurance companies for diminished value. This means that insurance companies must also calculated diminished value to respond to these claims.  Buyers of used vehicles calculate diminished value objectively. This means that they offer an estimated value for the vehicle that they believe to be fair, given the vehicle's history. This will always be lower than the value for a similar car without an accident history. This value may vary widely between buyers and can depend on the extent of damage to your car.  Insurance companies, in contract, use a very exact formula for calculating diminished value. This calculation is known as "17c" and has been adopted by many insurance companies in the United States. The 17c estimate methodology, by limiting the loss to an arbitrary percentage, generally favors the insurance company. State laws vary widely on the recognition of diminished value insurance claims. Some allow for claims to be made against a driver's own insurer, others against another driver's...

TL;DR in English: Know why diminished value is important. Understand that different entities calculate diminished value differently. Research your state's diminished value laws. Know how to file a diminished value claim.

A dog that needs leash training could benefit from the use of a training lead. This is a short leash that keeps the dog at your side. This kind of leash will let you correct bad behavior quickly and effectively by redirecting the dog away from distractions. A shock collar, choke chain, or prong collar has no place in retraining. While it might seem tempting to use a prong collar or choke chain, these work by inflicting pain and having the dog associate pain with pulling. Not only could these devices cause actual physical harm to the dog, but they work using fear rather than helping the dog to learn in a positive way. In addition, these collars are generally the mark of an inadequate trainer who doesn't know how to correct such behavior in any other way. Don't let this be a label applied to you, but instead retrain your dog in a humane manner using canine psychology. The chances are the dog is beside itself with excitement as soon as the leash appears. This is because it associates the leash with a walk. You want your pup to be calm when you set off, so that you are more likely to succeed in retraining.  To this end, clip the leash on and off the dog in the house, but without going for a walk. Your aim is to break the assumption that because the dog has a lead on it is going for a walk.  For example, when you are home, clip the leash on but go about your normal routine in the house. After 5 - 10 minutes, unclip the leash and carry on as usual again. Repeat this every half hour or so, so the dog becomes desensitized to wearing the leash.

At this point in your performance, you're just starting to feel sick and need to be subtle or else risk being figured out.  The “art” of your performance lies in subtlety revealing your ailments. To help you find the right balance, think about what happened the last time you started to get sick. Avoid using direct phrases such as:  “I don't think I'll be able to go to school tomorrow.” ”I'm not feeling well enough to make it to class.” ”I'm too sick for school.” Don't engage in the normal activities you would do if you felt well to show that you're not feeling your best.  Decline to participate in a favorite activity, such as watching a movie or playing a board game. Seem disinterested in engaging in the things your guardians know you usually enjoy doing. Contribute little to the conversation, so that you seem too tired to be involved. If your parents ask if you've been feeling sick for a while, tell them that you've been feeling slightly off all day. If your stomach really hurt, eating a big meal is the last thing you want to do! If you had a fever, you could be experiencing a loss of appetite, which also would make you not want to eat much.  Excuse yourself to use the bathroom and don't come out for ten minutes to give the impression that you are feeling bad but that you can still function enough to not raise too much concern. When you return to the table, let your guardians know that your stomach is hurting by saying things like:  ”Sorry I was gone for so long, my stomach feels really weird.” ”I'm not sure if I can finish dinner, my stomach really doesn't feel well.” ”Can I be excused? My stomach is hurting and I think I want to lay down for a moment.”   If possible, sneak some snacks into your bedroom to eat later so that you don't get really hungry at night!

TL;DR in English: Plant the idea that you might need to stay home the following day without being overly dramatic. Alter your afternoon routine. Don't eat much at the dinner table.

Choose a steam pressure washer with a PSI of 2000 to 2600 and one that can reach a temperature of at least 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). The pressure and temperature will enable you to clean your pool tiles quickly and effectively. With steam pressure washers, you do not need to pretreat the tile with chemicals or detergents. Debris such as branches, leaves, twigs, and trash should be swept up and removed before using the pressure washer. Also remove lose furniture and objects that can be easily swept away such as plants, pool equipment and toys, lawn furniture, grills, and other lose objects. Set the machine according to the manual's instructions. Start with a low setting and the least powerful nozzle first. Pick an inconspicuous spot and stand at least three feet away from it. Spray the area for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, stop and check the spot to make sure the surface is not damaged.  Make sure all the outlets, inlets, and accessories are perfectly connected and secured before turning the pressure washer on. For your safety, make sure to wear safety goggles, close-toed shoes, and protective clothing that can get wet. Turn the pressure washer up to a higher setting, for example 2000 to 2600 PSI at 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degrees Celsius), and begin washing the pool in small sections. Use the washer's wands and attachments to reach tight corners and crevices when you need to.  If you are having a tough time removing the scaling from the tiles, then turn the temperature up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). Remember to stand at least three feet away.

TL;DR in English: Rent a pressure washer from your local hardware store. Remove debris around the pool. Test a small area first. Wash your pool in sections.

A person’s eyes can tell you a lot about them and their mental state in a particular moment. If their eyes are glassy and bloodshot, it could be a sign that they've been drinking too much. Additionally, if a person has droopy eyes and is clearly having trouble keeping their eyes open, this could also be a sign of intoxication. Note: Bloodshot eyes could also be a sign of allergies or another medical condition. So make sure you ask about allergies before you interpret this symptom as a definitive sign of intoxication. While intoxication can mean being under the influence of several different substances, the smell of the user can be a big giveaway for many people. Both alcohol and marijuana have very strong odours that linger with the user long after the intoxicating substance has been consumed. Try to smell the person and see if you can notice hints of alcohol or weed on their breath or clothes. As a parent looking for signs of intoxication in their child, this is one of the most effective tell-tale signs. Intoxicated people can’t perform normal tasks as easily as they can when they are sober. This includes things like walking a straight line, lighting a cigarette properly, spilling drinks, or fumbling with other objects. Keep in mind that impaired motor function can be a side effect of many other conditions, such as Parkinson's disease or someone who has suffered a stroke. Although alcohol affects everyone similarly, the speed at which it does so will be different based upon their physical characteristics. Size, sex, rate of consumption, the strength of each drink, the amount of food and the additional use of drugs all are to be considered when determining how quickly alcohol may be affecting someone. For example, a person who weighs 150 lbs. will feel the effects of the alcohol much more quickly than someone who weighs 250 lbs., even if they drink the exact same amount of alcohol. This is because the larger person can tolerate more alcohol since their body takes longer to process it.

TL;DR in English: Look for glassy or bloodshot eyes. Notice how the person smells. Watch for impaired motor function. Estimate the person’s size.

It is difficult to make money as a pro cyclist, but some people manage to do so for a while. Pro teams usually only pay for equipment and travel. Even the payout for major races is actually pretty low. Choose a flexible job that will work with your training and race schedule.  Teaching is a profession that may lend itself to cycling, since you'll have summers off, which is when most of the season takes place. You might also consider working in a bike shop so that you can interact with other people who love the sport. Performing well at local events will help build your technique, confidence, and reputation. If you're entering with other members of your local club, be sure to work with them to dominate the racecourse. Look for local races by searching websites like Active.com or the official cycling website for your country. Though professional cyclists train extremely hard (like all other professional sports) the financial rewards associated with winning are much lower than those in professional baseball, football, basketball or ice hockey. As such, sponsorship is an important part of becoming a professional cyclist as the amount of cash available will determine the quality of equipment, coaching, and medical care you will have. Though sponsors usually don't donate as much cash in the amateur leagues as they do for professional cyclists, having a sponsor can make a difference in covering the costs of equipment, training, and travel. It's difficult to do, but worth trying all the same. The more attention you get in amateur contests, the more chance you stand of catching the eye of a scout for a professional team. At the USA Cycling website, you can research events per state and find which you are qualified to enter. If you're very lucky, you may end up cycling in an event where a scout will be searching for new talent. If you catch their eye, take the opportunity. Try out when a scout for a professional team asks you to compete for a professional team. Accept an offer to ride for a professional team, should...

Paint that has dried onto clothing is a real pain to get off, and you might have to resign yourself to the fact that it will never be removed completely. All the same, you can get a surprising amount of it removed without any chemicals or fluid. Taking a butter knife or your fingernail, scrape the excess paint away from the stain. Because the paint has dried, it will actually come off in chunks. You won't be able to scrape the paint that has soaked into the fabric, but the simple act of scraping the stain may have a significant impact on removing it. Alcohol-based cleaners, like acetone nail polish remover or hairspray, are arguably your best bet for fighting acrylic-based spray paint stains. These cleaners will break the bonds in the acrylic plastic. Unfortunately, they're far less effective once the paint itself has set into the clothes. If the stain is completely dried and you haven't seen any improvement from the alcohol-based cleaners, a heavy-duty paint remover may do the trick. Keep in mind, however, that paint removers have some tough chemicals in them, and they might strip the dye from your shirt completely. As such, they should only be used as a last resort. Laundering clothes after treating a stain with an alcohol-based cleaner will at least offer some confirmation whether the stain is removable or not. If it comes out of the laundry with the stain in place, there's nothing you can do outside of covering it up. Luckily, certain stains (especially on black clothing) can be covered quite well with fabric pens and other "destaining" products. Because dried paint is essentially bound to the fabric it has stained, sometimes the best option is to fight one stain with another. There are fabric pens available that are specifically intended for covering up paint stains. Go to a arts or fabric store and try to find a pen that matches the colour of your clothes. Paint shows up on jeans like a sore thumb, but you may be in luck if denim is your problem. Because denim tends to be in shades of blue and black,...

TL;DR in English: Scrape off excess paint. Use an alcohol-based cleaner or paint remover. Throw it in the laundry. Use a fabric-coloured pen to hide the stain. Talk to your dry cleaner.

Most toll roads have the toll road operator's phone number on the side of the road. It is imperative you ring them within 48 hours to avoid a fine notice. If you do not purchase a pass or arrange payment with the toll road operator, you will receive an invoice in the mail, which will be the amount of the toll, and a processing fee. If you do not pay this initial invoice, the matter is usually referred to the police / relevant state authority, where costs will escalate and criminal charges may be pursued.

TL;DR in English: If you drove through an electronic lane, and you didn't have a tag, a video tolling account or a pass, relax. Call the toll operator. Pay the invoice.

Having too much on your plate and not enough time to do it can stress anyone. It can be even more stressful when you have anxiety and have to overcome anxiety related procrastination. Prioritizing your activities and tasks will help you keep perspective on what needs to be done and help you feel less overwhelmed.  Make a list of all the things you need to get done. Highlight, circle, or put a star beside those things that are time-sensitive or will have serious negative consequences if they aren’t completed. Make an effort to complete your important/ high priority tasks first. With so many things that you need to get done and so many responsibilities and obligations that you are trying to meet, you may not make much time to do things that you enjoy. You can tackle anxiety and beat anxiety related procrastination if you make sure that you are carving some time out to do something fun or relaxing for yourself.  Spend at least a few hours each week doing something like writing, reading, biking, sleeping, or binge watching webisodes. Take a few minutes each evening to do something that you want to do – not that you need to do. Procrastinating can cause you to have to rush to complete tasks and activities. In your rush, you may be sacrificing your health by skipping meals, pulling ‘all-nighters’, and doing other things to try to make more time to finish your tasks.   Make sure you are getting 6 – 8 hours of sleep each night. Eat balanced meals and nutritious snacks so you have the energy to complete your tasks and activities. Stop smoking. Research suggests that quitting smoking can help you improve your physical health, as well as reduce your anxiety.  Avoid alcohol and substance abuse. Mixing either of these with your anxiety can create more problems for you.

TL;DR in English: Prioritize your activities. Make time for you. Nurture your body.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, and then add the onions and mushrooms. Cook the mixture for five to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and mushrooms become tender. Gravy is a thick meat- or vegetable-based sauce that’s used as a topping on meat, potatoes, French fries, and other dishes. It’s often made with the juices of freshly cooked meat, but it can also be made with vegetable bases like mushrooms. When the mushrooms and onions are tender, add the stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for five minutes. Stir once or twice in that time. To make this gravy suitable for vegetarians or vegans, substitute a vegetable-based broth for the beef broth, and replace the butter with vegan margarine. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. When they are fully combined, pour the mixture into the broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to return to a simmer. As the cornstarch heats up, it will thicken the gravy. Simmer for one to two minutes, then serve hot.

You can change certain things about yourself, such as what you say, how you say it, and how you act. When you try to change someone else, you are changing something about yourself in an attempt to incite change in that person. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, someone will not change. Again, it is important to note that you cannot force anyone to change if the person doesn't want to. You can say things to try to affect change within that person, but you are an agent of change, not the change itself. No matter how many times you tell your friend to tie his shoelaces, he does not have to tie his shoelaces. Get comfortable with the possibility that the person may never change, because it's quite possible that he will not. How would it feel to simply live with the behavior? Is it possible you could change your own behavior and attitude to accommodate the person? Or are there ways to work around it? Ask yourself if you can accept the person as he is. If you cannot accept the behavior, then you may need to end the relationship.  If you can live with this behavior, try to avoid situations in which it might arise. For example, if you hate when your friend sings in the car, avoid long road trips or listen to music that he doesn't know. Consider whether there are any ways to work around the behavior. Would it work to simply tell the person a time to meet you that is a half-hour earlier than necessary? Is there something that could be purchased that would solve the problem, for example, if your complaint is that the person will not clean the litter box like he promised, can you buy a self-cleaning one?  While these don't address larger problems (such as the person not following through with his promises), but they may help you accept the person as he is. If you cannot live with this behavior, you may need to cut off contact with this person. If your boyfriend’s drug problems are out of control, for instance, and you think that living with him will be extremely detrimental to your own health, you should consider...

Before you can choose the correct cold medicine, you need to figure out what your symptoms are. Each cold medicine is geared towards a specific set of symptoms. If you just grab a cold medicine without your symptoms in mind, you may end up getting something not fit for your cold. Cold medicine boxes will list the active ingredients. Make sure to read those ingredients before buying a medicine. Many cold medicine labels will also outline which symptoms the cold medicine will treat.  Pay attention to the amount of medication listed on the label. Some medicines will have stronger concentrations of medicines than others. For example, one medicine might have 120 milligrams of Pseudoephedrine, while another might have 30 milligrams. For example, if you have a sore throat, look for ingredients for pain relief or for sore throat to be listed as a symptom. A cold medicine with expectorant may not be the best option for this ailment. You should be very careful when taking cold medicines. You shouldn’t take multiple medicines of the same kind, like multiple decongestants. If you take a medicine that treats multiple symptoms, refrain from taking anything else. Cold medications, even if they are sold over-the-counter, can interact with other medications you may be taking and cause a serious reaction. Before making your purchase, it's a good idea to consult with a pharmacist and let her know which other medications (including supplements) you are taking. She should be able to let you know if it's safe to take your cold medicine of choice. When taking cold medicine, make sure not to overdose. Read the labels carefully. When taking acetaminophen, take special care not ingest more than the recommended daily dose. Also do not take multiple medicines that include acetaminophen. Depending on what active ingredients are in cold medicine, it may be drowsy or non-drowsy. Most labels will specify if the product causes you to be drowsy and if you should take caution when operating machinery or driving vehicles. If you are going to...

Transfer the riced or grated potato onto a clean counter or cutting board. Scoop it together so it's in a mound. Then put 2 1/2 cups (300 g) of the flour and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt directly onto the potatoes. You can use all-purpose or 00 flour. You can find 00 flour in specialty shops and it will make a finer, softer dough. Use your fingers like a scoop and sweep them around the center of the potato and flour mixture. This will make a deep well where you can add the remaining ingredients. Make the well large enough to hold the eggs and cheese, if you're using them. Add the egg to the center of the well. If you'd like to make creamier pasta, add 1/2 cup (123 g) of ricotta and 1/4 cup (25 g) of grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese along with the egg. Ensure there are no egg shells in the well or your dough will have hard bits. Take a fork and beat the egg with the cheeses, if you're using them. Once the egg is beaten, use the fork to start mixing in the flour and potatoes from the sides of the well. While you can use a spoon to mix the dough, it will combine better if you use a fork.

If so, your attempts to rationally discuss their jealous behavior may prove fruitless. Common characteristics of toxic individuals include:  Need to control others Disregard for personal boundaries Selfishness Need to always be right Dishonesty Inability to accept responsibility for their actions Tendency to play the victim If your friend is a toxic individual, it may be in your best interest to take steps to either confront their negative behavior in an effort to improve or end the relationship. When you confront their harmful behavior:  Acknowledge that you are coming from a place of love and honesty. “In the best interest of our friendship and my wellbeing, I must tell you the truth. Tell them explicitly how you feel. “I feel _______ when you _______.” Ask them to stop their behavior. “Are you willing to stop _______ so that we can have a healthier relationship?” Boundaries can provide structure and stability to a toxic relationship. Once you set these boundaries, they are non-negotiable—do not let your friend bully you into changing the boundaries. You can start to set boundaries for your toxic relationship by answering these questions:  When can your friend contact you? How can they contact you? In what circumstances will you contact your friend? How will you contact them if you must get ahold of them? Will you ignore or acknowledge them when you see them in public? Will you block them on social media? May they remain in contact with your family members? If this individual can not honor the terms of your agreement, it is time to sever ties. Let them know that you can no longer maintain a relationship with them. When you confront this individual, have a clear and concise explanation ready.  They may pressure you for further details or attempt to manipulate your words. If this occurs, remind yourself that you don't need to justify your decision.  Ending this...

TL;DR in English: Determine if this friendship is worth saving. Confront the toxic friend. Set clear boundaries. End the relationship and move on.

Review your job description and responsibilities and rate your performance in each area. Being honest about how you are doing will help you determine what areas you need to work on to improve your job performance.  You can rate whether you are ‘exceeding expectations’, ‘meeting expectations’, or ‘need improvement’ in each area. Make a list of strengths and weaknesses in each area. For example, you might put that you’re good at writing reports, but don’t submit them on time. One way to get an idea of how you are performing on the job is to ask your co-workers. Their perceptions of your work can give you an idea of what areas you need to improve in and what areas you are doing well in.  You could ask them to write a few words on a sticky note that describe your work performance and put it in an envelope for that purpose on your desk. For example, you could say, “Would you write a few words about my work on here and put it in the envelope hanging outside my cubicle?” You could also create a brief, anonymous online survey for them to complete. If you are comfortable with it, you could ask for feedback face to face. You might say, “Would you give me some feedback on my work performance?” This might be the most important feedback you can receive. This will let you know how your supervisor thinks you are doing and how they think you can improve your job performance. It will also give insight into what exactly your supervisor is looking for in a great employee.  Most companies have specific times of the year when they evaluate employees. Check with your supervisor to see when your next evaluation is due. You could say, “How long after I have been employed will it be before I am evaluated?” Or, “When do we have our evaluations?” You can always ask your supervisor for informal feedback regarding your work performance or a specific task or assignment. For example, you might ask your boss, “Would you mind meeting with me about how I did on this last report?” Talk to your supervisor about the review and what implications...

TL;DR in English: Conduct an honest self-evaluation. Ask co-workers to evaluate you. Complete an evaluation with your supervisor. Address a poor performance review. Compile a list of your strengths. Make a list of your areas for improvement. Set performance goals for yourself.

Typically, Latisse is applied right before you go to bed. If, however, you need to put your contacts back in after you applying Latisse, you will need to wait at least 15 minutes. Touching your eyes before the Latisse dries, even just to insert contacts, can promote contamination. Getting Latisse solution in your eyes can be quite painful. Make sure the solution is completely dry before you begin touching your eyes. Latisse should be applied only once every day. Increasing your usage will not give you bigger, longer, or fuller eyelashes. Apply one small drop to the applicator for each eye. Do not add additional Latisse solution, as excess will run down onto your skin. Your daily application should be done at night for best results. It’s possible for excess hair to start growing in any place where the skin comes into regular contact with the Latisse product. If you don’t wipe off the excess Latisse, you may have to deal with this unwanted side effect. Wipe any extra solution off as soon as you finish applying it to minimize the negative effects. You should only use the sterile applicator that was included in the packaging for your Latisse product. Do not use a Q-tip or any other kind of object for the application. Each applicator should only be used once, then thrown away in the trash. So for each application, you’ll use two applicators – one for each eye. In order to prevent contamination, you should make sure that the tip of the applicator and the dispensing end of the Latisse bottle don’t ever touch anything except when you add a drop of the Latisse solution to the tip of the applicator. Don’t let your fingers or any other contaminated surfaces touch the applicator tip or the top of the Latisse bottle.

TL;DR in English: Wait 15 minutes after applying Latisse before putting your contacts back in. Follow the prescribed dosage. Wipe off any excess on your skin. Use only the sterile applicator that came with your Latisse product. Keep the applicator and the tip of the bottle away from any unclean surfaces.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Either use a squat rack with a barbell or hold dumbbells in your hands over each shoulder. Lean forward slightly, keeping your head back, and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Do not let your knees go past your toes. Slowly rise to the starting position. Do six to eight reps and three to four sets. Rest for about 45 seconds in between sets. For this exercise, you may either use a Smith Machine, a barbell, or two dumbbells. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and, using an overhand grip, slowly lower the weight down and return it to the starting position, focusing the work on your hamstrings and lower back.  Do six to eight reps and three to four sets. Rest for about 45 seconds in between sets. To increase the difficulty of this exercise, bend at the waist, grasp the weights, rise to a standing position, then pull the weights up to your chest and press them over your head. Lower them back to your chest, then lower them to your sides, bend at the waist and rest them back on the floor. Place your hands on a fixed bar. For pull-ups, have your palms facing away from you; for chin-ups, have your palms facing you. Lift your body with your legs crossed behind you until your chin is higher than the bar, then slowly lower your body back to the starting position.  Do six to eight reps and three to four sets. Rest for about 45 seconds in between sets. To increase the difficulty of this exercise, wear a weighted belt around your waist. Increase the weight as you gain strength. Lay on an exercise bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a barbell or two dumbbells in resting position at your chest. Press the weights over your head, extending your arms and straightening your elbows. Lower the weights back to your chest. Do six to eight reps and three to four sets. Rest for about 45 seconds in between sets.

If the water isn't clear, you need to filter it first. You can use a clean piece of cloth. You can also use a coffee filter or paper towels. If none of these are available, allow the water to sit until you see clear water at the top. Spoon or draw off the clear water, being careful not to disturb the sediment at the bottom. If the water is already clear, you don't need to take this step. One way to draw off water is to use a clean towel. Roll it tightly into a rope-like tube. Place one end in the drinking water and the other end in a container to hold the water. The end in the new container should be several inches below the end in the water. The water will wet the towel, then drip off the end. Though you've found a source of water, it may not be safe to drink. Even if you have access to tap water, it could be contaminated if pipes are broken or flooded.  Boil the water for a full minute. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, make sure it boils for a full minute or for 3 minutes above 6,500 feet.  Store in sanitized containers. If you can't boil water, you can disinfect the water with chemicals. Add chlorine bleach (5-6%) to water at a ratio of 1/8 teaspoon per gallon if your water is clear. If it's not, you need to double the amount to 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. Make sure to incorporate the bleach thoroughly. Let it sit for 1/2 an hour before drinking. Once disinfected, the water should be kept in clean, sanitized containers.

TL;DR in English: Filter the water. Boil water. Disinfect water as an alternative.

New growth on Wandering Jew plants often attracts tiny green insects called aphids. They're usually found near stems. One effective treatment is pinching off or pruning the affected stems and heavily misting the remaining plant with water. You can also use a hose or high-powered stream of water to blast them off of the leaves. Mist your plant often. When the humidity is low, your plant's leaves will turn brown, but periodic water misting will help the leaves stay vibrant. Keeping the leaves wet will also help with any aphid problems your plant may develop. Fill a spray bottle with water and just  mist until the leaves are lightly moistened.  Brown leaves can also be a sign that your plant is getting too much sunlight. In this case, make sure your plant is not directly in the sun by moving the pot or placing a filter, such as a curtain, in between the plant and the window. Try to use distilled or bottled water when misting the leaves for the best results. Leaves that lack their notable vibrancy and color are probably not getting enough sunlight. Gradually increase the amount of sun your plant receives so that you don't shock the plant. This might involve moving the pot closer to a window that receives more light or finding a sunnier spot in the yard for your plant. If the plant is fading in color, but the leaves are turning a faded yellow, the plant may be getting too much water and the roots are rotting. If this is happening, the plant is probably not putting on much new growth, if any. You'll need to cut out the portion of the plant that is rotting, make a cutting from a healthy part of the plant, and replant it.

TL;DR in English: Treat aphids. Refresh brown leaves. Restore faded leaves. Remove root rot.

Find a comfortable position where you can stay without moving for 20 or more minutes.  Stretch your back before you begin, if you have been sitting all day. Twisting from the waist to the left and right in a seated position or doing yoga cat/cow and child's poses can release tension so that it is easier to focus on the meditation. Relax your shoulders. Lift them up to your ears as you breathe in, then drop them back down. Keep your back very straight. Place your hands in your lap. Zazen meditation suggests that you place your left hand in your right hand, palms up and place your left thumb on top of your right thumb, as if you were cradling an egg. This should make a circle, suggesting infinity and also the unconscious--your non-dominant side being allowed to take over. Some meditators find it difficult to mediate with their eyes open, while some struggle to meditate with their eyes closed because drowsiness becomes too much of a problem. Consider actively focusing on "nothing." Look not at the blank wall, but through the wall. Blink when you need to blink. Most meditation is not more complicated than sitting quietly and breathing, when you get right down to it. Within that simplicity, however, is endless complexity. Begin counting down from 10. You can focus on the counting to get your mind to start calming. If you have more time and this practice is helpful, consider counting down from 50 or 100.  Breathe in deeply for a count of 8 seconds, hold the breath for 2 to 4 seconds, and breathe out over a count of 8 seconds. Repeat this breathing pattern for 2 minutes. Feel the breath coming into your body and going out of your body. Imagine the oxygen filling your body and coursing through your blood. Feel the oxygen come into all the parts of your body, and continue focusing on your breath.

TL;DR in English: Sit on your cushion or chair. Close your eyes or focus them on a blank wall. Focus on your breath.

Bring the ribbon on the inside of the pointe shoe across the top of your foot. Wrap the ribbon across the top of your foot so the ribbon lies just on top of your protruding outer ankle bone. Bring the ribbon across the back of your ankle (over your Achilles tendon), and back to the side of your inner ankle.  Make sure you pull tight enough on the ribbon so there aren’t any folds or gaps when the ribbon crosses your foot.  The inside ribbon is going to be wrap around your ankle more than the outside ribbon. This will give your ankles added stability. While holding the inside ribbon in place on the inside of your ankle, use your other hand to cross the outside ribbon over the top of your foot to the opposite inner side of your ankle. Bring the outside ribbon over the inside ribbon you are holding in place, and wrap it around the back of your ankle (across your Achilles tendon). Then bring it back to the front of your foot (staying above your outer ankle bone), and bring it straight across the front of your ankle. You should bring it all the way over the front of your ankle, to meet with the inner ribbon you have been holding in place on the inside of your ankle. Again, make sure that you are wrapping the ribbon tight enough that there are no gaps or folds in the ribbon, and then ribbon is taut against your skin. With both ribbons at your inner ankle, bring the outer ribbon under the inner ribbon that you had been holding in place, loop the outer ribbon over the inner ribbon, and feed the outer ribbon down through the hole between the crossed ribbons and your ankle. Pull both ribbons taut. Then repeat that same looping and pulling motion with the outer ribbon to make a tight knot. The knot should fall on the side of the ankle, in the divot between the inner ankle bone and the back of the ankle on top of the Achilles tendon. This is the perfect spot for the knot to be placed so the pointe shoe ribbons can still keep a relatively flat profile on the ankle. Once the knot is made, turn the remaining ribbon strands...

If you have anemia caused by an iron deficiency, you need to get more iron in your diet. Men and non-menstruating women need about 10 mg of iron a day. Menstruating women or nursing mothers should have 15 mg of iron a day, while pregnant women need 30 mg. Eat at least 2 to 3 servings of iron-rich foods every day to help get this dosage of iron. Iron-rich foods include:  Red meat, liver, poultry, pork, and fish Spinach, mustard greens, collard greens, Swiss chard, beet greens, all different kinds of lettuce, broccoli, and kale Tofu, soy milk, and other soy products Legumes, such as peas, white beans, red beans, baked bean, chickpeas, and soybeans Dried fruits, such as raisins, apricots, and prunes Prune juice Whole grain cereals and breads that have been iron-fortified Certain foods can cause your body to decrease its iron absorption. If you are trying to up your iron intake, do not drink tea, coffee, or cocoa with your meals because they lower the amount of iron you absorb. You should also not take an iron supplement with your meals. Avoid milk and dairy products for at least an hour after taking iron because the calcium in dairy products may decrease iron absorption. If you are suffering from a vitamin B12 deficiency that is causing your anemia, you need to get more of this nutrient from your diet. You should be getting 2.5 mcg of B12 every day. If you are pregnant, you should get 2.6 mcg per day. If you are nursing, you should be getting 2.8 mcg every day. Eat at least 2 to 3 servings of vitamin B12-rich foods every day to get these daily amounts. Foods rich in vitamin B12 include:  Breakfast cereals fortified with vitamin B12 Beef, liver, poultry, sardines, salmon, tuna, and cod Eggs, milk, yogurt, and cheese Foods with added vitamin B12, such as soy-based beverages and vegetarian burgers Deficiencies of folate, another form of vitamin B, can also cause anemia. Men over 13 years old should have 400 mcg of folate per day. Women over 13, pregnant women, and women who are breastfeeding should have 400 to 600...

TL;DR in English: Get more dietary iron. Avoid iron-decreasing foods. Ingest more vitamin B12. Consume more folate. Eat more vitamin C. Make sure you get enough of each vitamin or mineral. Take supplements if your doctor recommends it. Avoid getting too much of any vitamin or mineral. Get retested.

Remember that your cooking oil will be flavored by whatever food you are cooking in it. This means that you should only reuse cooking oil with other foods that have a similar (or at least compatible) flavor. For example, if you used the cooking oil to make fried chicken, you could easily reuse it to fry up some potatoes. But you might want to avoid reusing that cooking oil if you’re planning on making doughnuts. Don’t feel like the only thing you can use cooking oil is for deep frying. If you’ve got a batch of cooking oil you want to reuse, feel free to take a little bit out of the stash here and there.  You can reuse the oil to add to a stir-fry or a pasta salad. Just be mindful of reusing oil with a new food that has a compatible flavor. Reusing cooking oil can be a great way to save money and minimize household waste. However, cooking oil can only be reused so many times before the particles start to break down. So it’s important to know when your oil has reached that point.  If your cooking oil starts looking thick, gummy, cloudy, darker in color, has foam on top, or begins to smell rancid, it’s time to dispose of it. No matter what precautions you take, you should always throw out cooking oil that is more than six weeks old.

TL;DR in English: Reuse the oil with similar food items. Use it for various purposes. Toss the oil when it shows signs of spoilage.

Avoid placing pressure on the burn, and do not scrape the affected skin.  If the burn is on your arm, for instance, try to use your opposite arm and wear short-sleeved shirts.  If the burn is major, raise the burned area above the level of your heart.  This may require laying down and, for instance, propping a burned leg up with pillows. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen are over-the-counter medications that can help relieve pain and swelling.  Do not give aspirin to children younger than 12 years old. Apply lotion to the burn.  Aloe vera lotion or gel can provide pain relief and reduce swelling. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is a bacterial infection commonly associated with burns and can lead to painful muscular contractions in the jaw and neck.  Even minor burn injuries require a tetanus shot if you have not had one in the past ten years. If you still have pain with a minor burn after 48 hours, contact your doctor.  If the burn has not healed within three weeks, you should also consult a medical professional.
