For the long-term success of a rekindled relationship, it is important that you remember that you are trying to set a new path for your romance. Try to envision your reunion with your ex as a new relationship, not just a re-hashing of the old, unsuccessful relationship. Remember that you are getting back together with an old love, but you are doing so in a new, more mature way.  Your goal is not to repeat the mistakes of the past, so do not dwell on the past: instead learn from it and move on. Rekindled relationships are more likely to succeed if there are clear expectations for how the relationship will grow and develop. Similarly, there need to be clear expectations about how both parties will remedy some of the mistakes that led to the initial break up.  Set goals and check-ins to make sure the relationship is progressing as it should, and that you are not falling back into old patterns. While it might be tempting to put the relationship into overdrive and make a permanent commitment immediately, remember that the best way to avoid a toxic cycle is to be slow and mindful as your new relationship progresses.  Do not do anything permanent such as proposing or moving in together until your rekindled relationship has stabilized and is on a positive path. Instead, try low-key ways to reconnect romantically, such as go on romantic dates, go away for a romantic weekend, or cook your ex a nice meal. Because the two of you were exes in the not-too-distant past, there might be old hurts to blame each other for or old wounds to re-open. Resist the temptation to fling any of these resentments at your (now former) ex, even during times of stress or turmoil.  Arguments are healthy: constantly bringing up old, resolved issues are not. People who reunite after a breakup can sometimes feel less secure in their relationships, even if it is going well. Find external, tangible ways to show your former ex that you care and that you are not just going to dump him or her again.  These rituals can include:  Going for a weekly...

TL;DR in English: Tell yourself that this new relationship is different from the old one. Create a plan for how the relationship will continue to grow into the future. Date for a while before making any serious commitments. Don't use the breakup as ammunition during arguments. Use loving rituals to express how much you care.

Consistent use of your cast or brace is necessary in order to allow your fascia to fully recover. Even if you feel better and there is little to no pain when you put your full weight on your feet, it is still necessary to allow complete recovery. No pain and increased mobility does not mean your body has healed 100 percent. You can expect to wear the cast or boot for two to three weeks.   Your surgeon will likely tell you to stay off your feet completely except for when eating or using the bathroom for the first week or two.  You should also keep the foot and bandage completely dry to reduce the risk of infection. Though you should stay off your feet completely as often as you can manage it, your doctor will provide crutches for you to use when you must get up. Use them consistently to help aid you in keeping weight off your foot. Though not highly invasive, the open nature of the procedure will still result in pain during your recovery. Your doctor will likely prescribe pain medication to help keep you more comfortable during the initial recovery time. Take your pain meds as directed when you are experiencing pain. If the pain is unrelieved, contact your doctor. Your doctor will have you switch to over-the-counter pain medication once your prescription runs out. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen can help manage pain. Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of your recovery and to determine when to remove the cast or boot on your foot. Make sure you attend these appointments, and do not remove the cast or boot before your doctor gives the okay. Once your doctor removes the cast/boot, he will give the okay for you to start wearing shoes again as soon as it’s comfortable for you to do so. Since surgery is a last resort, you will likely already have custom orthotic inserts for your shoes. Continue to use them after the surgery to provide the proper form and support to your foot as it continues to heal. Once your foot is out of the cast, you can...

TL;DR in English: Wear your cast or brace for the entire time designated by your surgeon. Use the crutches provided. Take any pain meds prescribed by your doctor. Schedule and attend your follow-up appointments. Start wearing shoes with proper support. Use ice to reduce discomfort. Attend any physical therapy appointments. Restrict all running and impact sports for at least three months.

A tick must bite a person or pet to transmit disease, so by checking yourself constantly during your camping trip, the chances of contracting a tick disease are significantly reduced. When you check for ticks make sure to look in these places:  Under arms and on the backs of knees Inside your belly button Around your waist Between your legs In and around your ears A hand-held or full-body mirror can make checking for ticks easier. Although it can be difficult while camping, taking a shower or bathing will help you locate and remove any unattached ticks. This is a good time to perform a tick check. To kill ticks that might be on your clothes, dry clothing as soon as you come home from your camping trip.  Dry the clothes on high heat for 10-15 minutes.  Do this before washing the clothes, since research has shown ticks are not killed by washing (even in hot water). Don’t leave your clothing sitting in a pile or stick it in a hamper. To remove ticks that aren't attached, place duct tape over them and pull them off the skin or clothing with the tape. Then, fold the tape over itself and toss it in the trash.  Bring a roll of duct tape on your trip so you are prepared. A lint roller also works well for removing unattached ticks. If the tick has already attached itself to your skin, use tweezers to grab its body and pull it directly up and away.  Tweezers with pointed ends work best so you can grab and hold on to the tick more easily. If the tweezers are not pointed, you can tear the tick during removal, which increases the risk of spreading disease. Never twist the tick or try to coax it off using heat or solvents. Follow up by swabbing the area with rubbing alcohol to disinfect. You can also apply an antibiotic cream or ointment to the site of the tick bite. If you are concerned about the risks of tick bites or live in an area where tick-borne diseases are common, it’s a good idea to place the tick you remove in a plastic bag so you can identify the type of tick and send it in for disease testing.  Note the date...

TL;DR in English: Check yourself and your animals/companions for ticks every 2 to 3 hours. Shower as soon as you can. Run your clothes through the dryer as soon as you return home. Remove any ticks you find on your clothing. Extract attached ticks. Send the tick for testing.

These hydrangea varieties produce new growth each spring, then bloom from that growth later in the summer. They tend to bloom later than hydrangeas that bloom on old wood, since varieties that produce new wood need that extra time to create buds. The following varieties bloom on new wood:   Panicle hydrangeas (H. paniculata), such as PeeGee or Limelight. These can be pruned into a tree form to make it a focal point of the garden.  Smooth hydrangeas (H. arborescens), such as Annabelle Use the images at http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/identify.html to help you identify what kind of hydrangea you have before you start making any plans to prune your plant. Since these varieties produce their blooms on new stems, you want to prune them in the winter before they start growing. This is the best time of year to prune new wood varieties, but you can prune them at other times of year as well - just avoid pruning them right before they're about to bloom in the spring and early summer.   You can cut back all the stems by 1/3 in the winter. Pruning at this time will help the shrub produce bigger, showier flowers. However, many gardeners like their hydrangeas to have smaller flowers on sturdier stems. If this is your preference, do your pruning in the fall instead, to allow the plants to grow strong branches before blooming. Use hand shears or loppers to take out dead canes and branches that are crossed or tangled. This will free up the plant and allow for better airflow, encouraging it to grow stronger. Hydrangea flowers tend to be on the heavy side, so don't go overboard pruning old canes. Leave a good network of canes intact so that the branches don't flop over under the weight of the flowers.

TL;DR in English: Determine if your hydrangea blooms on new wood. Prune in late winter before bud generation begins. Prune dead canes and crossed branches. Leave some old growth to support the plant to help it to grow well.

Instagram only verifies profiles that they believe are operated by the individual in question (or a social media manager) and not a fan or impersonator. That means that if you want to receive that blue check, it will be necessary to post things that prove your account actually belongs to you, like selfies, pictures of your family or pets, and other personal content.  Anyone can share a generic landscape photo or repost a meme, so try to focus on original content that could only have come from you. Linking to your other social media accounts can also help show that you're the genuine article, especially if they're already verified. Go up to the "Settings" tab on Facebook and click "General," followed by "Page Verification.” Then, hit "Get Started." You'll need to provide your phone number so that Facebook can send you a unique verification code, which you'll use to sign in. Once you do this, the people in charge will get to work processing your request.  Just like on Instagram, it's important to have plenty of authentic, personal content on your Facebook profile to show that it's the real deal. Getting your personal or company account verified on Facebook can give you a huge boost towards securing Instagram verification. Take steps to get your name known outside of Instagram. If you're a performer, for instance, you might upload videos of yourself in action to YouTube, then use Twitter to promote upcoming shows and appearances. The more recognizable you or your brand are elsewhere, the more likely it is that that recognition will pay off with Instagram verification.  Not just anyone can get verified on Instagram. Typically, you'll have to have either celebrity status or a massive following in order to even be considered.  Most companies also have to be relatively well-known in order to be approved for verification. If you represent a company, try posting shareable content, like viral ads promo codes for ongoing sales, to help bolster your image on social media.

Set your tuner to “A. Play the A note. Play an F#. Move on to other notes. Play scales.

Place the almond flour and powdered sugar into a food processor and pulse it quickly to blend the two ingredients together.  In doing this, you should also be able to break up any clumps, which will ensure that your final product is as smooth as possible. Note that you could use almond meal instead of almond flour if the former is all you can find. Alternatively, you could sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together to blend them and remove any lumps. Since you will still need to use a food processor, though, using a sifter may be more work than it is worth. If you do not have a food processor, a blender could used instead. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) almond extract to the food processor and pulse to combine it with the almond flour mixture.  Taste the mixture. If the almond taste is not strong enough for you, add another 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) of almond extract. It is important that you balance the flavor of the almond paste now before moving onto the next step, which involves the use of an egg white. Uncooked eggs are hazardous to consume. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork or whisk. Pour it into the contents of the food processor. Process the ingredients at a medium speed for a full 2 minutes.  When done, the almond paste inside the machine should be smooth and naturally formed into a clay-like ball. If the dough still feels sticky, add another 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of almond flour and process until thoroughly combined. Take the ball of almond paste out of the food processor and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Place it into a resealable plastic bag or airtight container, and label the container with the contents and date.  You do not need to double your packaging if you do not want to do so, but doubling the packaging can keep the almond paste fresher for a longer period of time. If you anticipate using the almond paste in batches, you can divide it into individual portions ahead of time and package those portions separately. This is not necessary, though. Place the wrapped almond paste in your...

TL;DR in English: Combine the almond flour and powdered sugar. Add the almond extract. Add the egg white. Wrap the almond paste in plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator.

If your mom doesn’t agree with you or tells you no, try not to argue, yell or whine. Instead, remain calm and keep your tone of voice friendly and understanding. Then ask your mom why now is not the right time. For example, “When do you think the right time is?” or “When did you get your first bra?” Do this if you are uncomfortable not wearing a bra, but your mom still says no. Suggest getting a training bra, sports bra or a camisole with a built-in bra to wear in the meantime. After wearing these for a few months, bring up the topic again. For example, “I have been wearing my training bra for six months. I think I am ready to wear a bra now. Do this if your mom simply will not listen or does not understand that a bra will help you feel more comfortable about your body. Talk about the issue with a trusted relative, counselor or teacher. They may be able to offer you some advice on how to approach the topic with your mom. You could also ask them to discuss the topic with your mom for you.

TL;DR in English: Remain calm. Suggest an alternative. Talk to another trusted adult.

Some family members may not even realize they're still treating you like a child. It's hard for older adults in your family to let go of the thought of you being "little girl" or "little boy," even if you're well into adulthood. Therefore, you need to broach the topic with them and help them understand what you're feeling.  Start with your feelings. That is, use an "I" statement to describe how you're feeling instead of a "you" statement that puts the blame on them. Blaming someone will put them on the defense. For instance, don't say, " You always treat me like a little kid." Instead, say "I feel upset when you still treat me like a child. I've grown up." Be specific by talking about particular statements or behaviors that bother you. For example, you could say, "I love that you help with the kids, but I don't like when you contradict the rules that I've made." You could also say, "I respect your rules when I'm in your house, but I don't like being asked where I am every second of every day." Tell them what you expect. For instance, you could say, "I would really appreciate if you would respect the rules I've set for my kids." or "I would appreciate it if you would treat me like any other adult who stays in your home." If you're telling your mom a story, tell her what you expect from her upfront. For instance, if you're just telling her the story to give her information and you don't really want advice, let her know that. You could say, "Mom, I need to tell you something, but I want you to promise me that you won't offer your judgment at the end. I feel like you need to know this information, but I don't want advice on my choices." That is, often in communication, people are trying to maintain control. It's a power struggle. Often, this type of communication pops up between a parent and an adult child, or even another type of relationship, such as an aunt and niece or nephew. The "adult" still wants to control the adult child, even if that person doesn't realize it. If you're the adult child, you may want to...

TL;DR in English: Discuss the issue. Be upfront about what you want. Focus on the relationship. Set boundaries.

For a sleek look, tie a knot beneath the tongue of each shoe and tuck the lace ends into the shoes to hide them. For a casual look, lace all but the last two lace holes. For a sloppy look, loosen all the laces and leave them untied, tucking the ends in if necessary. For a grungy look, lace high-tops to the top (or near the top), wrap the ends of the laces around your legs, and tie them without bows. For a clean look, remove the laces altogether, sew the tongue halfway up the sides, and turn your Converse into slip-ons.

TL;DR in English: Try different lacing styles for your Converse.

” If you have a designated rehearsal space, or don’t mind lugging an extra piece of equipment around, purchase a standalone digital tuner. Otherwise, download a tuning app to your smartphone. Once you are ready to test your sax, select concert note A to begin tuning. If your tuner or app doesn’t have any presets for specific notes, tune it to to a frequency of 440 hertz (Hz) for concert A.  If possible, purchase or download a tuner specifically for saxophones. Most others are meant for the piano or guitar. Because those instruments are in a different key than saxophones, a standard tuner may read your sax’s notes incorrectly. For example, an A note played on an alto or baritone sax may read as a C on your tuner, while the same note played on a tenor or soprano may read as a G.  Tuning apps for saxophones include Cleartune (iPad) and Easy Saxophone (Android). Watch the needle on the tuner. Aim to make it stay exactly in the middle of the display for as long as you sustain the note. If the needle indicates that your note is either too flat or sharp by falling to the left or right, adjust your mouthpiece accordingly, roughly one millimeter at a time, and try again. Repeat as needed.  If your note is too sharp, pull your mouthpiece out along the neck cork. If your note is too flat, push your mouthpiece farther in along the neck cork. Once your A note is in tune, test your F# (F sharp). These two notes are the easiest to tune on the saxophone. Start off with this easy pair before moving on to ones that may need more coaxing. Use the same technique of adjusting your mouthpiece to correct sharpness and flatness.  A tuner meant for piano or guitar may read your F# as an A if you are playing an alto or baritone, while an F# on a tenor or saxophone may read as an E. F# = 370 hertz (Hz). Once you have a handle on A and F#, continue the process with other notes. Alter your embouchure (the way you apply your mouth to the mouthpiece) to play notes sharper or flatter. Add more pressure to make a note flatter. Loosen your...

. Examine your body in the mirror. Look at your proportions and the way your hips connect to your waist and bust. To be sure, measure the size of your bust, waist, and hips. Knowing your body type will enable you to choose clothing that fits properly and complements your body type. Some common body types are the pear, rectangle, diamond, hourglass, and the inverted triangle shape. Having bras and underwear that fit properly is as important as having clothes that complement your body type. Good-fitting bras and underwear will provide you with support in the places you need. Therefore, your clothes will hang on your body properly and your posture may improve, boosting your self-confidence further. Visit a lingerie store to get fitted. Invite your friends to come with you and make a day out of it. Determine which parts of your body you love and want to flaunt. Then choose clothes that accentuate these body parts. You can also do this by using color. Use bright colors to draw attention to your favorite body parts. For example, if you love your hips and thighs, then stock up on pants that accentuate these features. Accessories are a fun way to add some excitement to your outfit. Choose from belts, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. You can also use accessories to accentuate the body parts you love.  For example, if you want to accentuate your collar bone, then wear a bold collar necklace or a bib necklace. Draw attention to your eyes by wearing earrings that bring out the color in your eyes; for example, if you have green eyes, try red hoop earrings. Accessories are also a great way to stay up-to-date with fashion trends, if that is your style. Belts are also a great way to create a waistline when you are wearing oversized dresses and tops. You can also create a waistline by wearing tops and dresses that ruche at the waist, or that have details, like beading, that draw attention to the waist. Wearing a top and bottom that are two different, but complementary colors can also create a waistline.

TL;DR in English: Determine your body type Get fitted. Emphasize the parts of your body you love. Accessorize. Accentuate your waist with belts.

Products like Butter Wet Carnauba Wax contain carnauba oils that will break down the spray paint. The wax will not damage or scratch your paint or clear coat, but will simply remove the spray paint from the surface of your car. You should be able to find a liquid carnauba wax at your local auto parts store, but if not, you can order it online. Put an ample amount of the liquid wax onto a soft sponge or cloth. Squirt it on or add several dollops to your sponge. Apply more as you go, and don’t be afraid to use a lot of the wax as it is needed to break down the paint. Using firm pressure and circular motions, rub the waxed sponge onto the affected area of your car. Make sure you get all the overspray and any errant dots or drips. Flip your sponge over or get a new one once the surface is covered in spray paint transfer. After removing the spray paint, you’ll want to buff the wax off your car. Use a clean microfiber cloth to do the buffing. Rub the waxed area using small, circular motions.

TL;DR in English: Purchase liquid carnauba wax. Apply the wax to a sponge. Rub the sponge on the spray paint. Buff off the wax.

Mix a cleaner into one of the buckets. Make sure to use a cleaner that is safe for all wheel surfaces. Avoid caustic cleaners that contain acid, as well as dishwashing detergents. These cleaners can ruin the finish on your wheels. One bucket will be used for cleaning and the other will be used for rinsing your sponge. Once the sponge has soaked for a few minutes, begin cleaning one wheel at a time from the top down. To clean small crevices, use a soft-bristled toothbrush. If your wheels are very dirty, you may need to apply a de-greaser before cleaning them. Once your wheel is clean, rinse it thoroughly with water until all dirt and debris are removed. Then dry the wheel with a soft cloth. Repeat steps one through three for each wheel.

TL;DR in English: Fill two buckets with water. Soak a soft sponge in the cleaning solution. Rinse and dry the wheel.

Volume 10 is the weakest developer level, as it contains only 3% hydrogen peroxide. Volume 10 is a good option if you are going just a bit darker than your current hair color and you do not need to lift, or remove, any of your existing color.  It is also recommended if you have thin or fine hair, as it will not be too strong. This developer is also ideal if you are going to be using toner on your hair because it will balance out the toner. You may need to use toner if your hair color is brassy. Volume 20 is the most popular developer level, as it contains 6% hydrogen peroxide, which is a moderate amount. This option is also good if you want to cover grey hairs. Volume 20 is good for thick hair, as it will be strong enough to open your hair cuticles. Volume 30 contains 9% hydrogen peroxide and is ideal for altering your hair several shades. It is pretty strong and should only be used on thick or coarse hair, as it can damage thin or fine hair. Many store-bought hair dye and developer packets contain volume 20 or volume 30 developer. Volume 40 is not recommended for non-professional use, as it is very strong and can dry out your hair if it is not applied correctly. This developer level is often only used for major hair color changes and should not be used at home. If you believe you require volume 40 to properly dye your hair, go to your local salon and allow a professional to dye your hair for you.

TL;DR in English: Use volume 10 developer to lift your color a single level. Choose volume 20 developer to change your hair color by 1 to 2 shades. Opt for volume 30 developer to change your color by 3 to 4 shades. Avoid using volume 40 developer so you do not damage your hair.

The detergent method will work best if it hasn't set in completely yet. It's also the easiest to pull off on the fly, as most people should have detergent on hand, whether you're at home or at work. If you don't have any detergent available, you can try using bar or liquid soap. It may not be as effective, but you definitely want to attempt to clean the fabric before the paint dries. Running your stained article of clothing through a wash cycle can often get rid of the stain completely. You've loosened the paint using the detergent, so your washing machine will work much more efficiently. Without pre-treating the garment, however, the washing machine might not be able to fully eliminate your stain. Certain washable or water-based paints may not require this step.  Don't wash your paint stained garment with another article of clothing, as the paint will bleed onto your other clothes. You don't want to damage your entire wardrobe just to save a single item. If the stain is still present after a wash cycle, place a bit of acetone on the front of the garment and blot with a clean sponge. Do not put acetone on fabrics that also contain acetate or triacetate, as it will melt these fabrics on contact.

Use your left hand to shift the front gears. Use your right hand to shift the rear gears. Gear down to make your pedaling easier but less powerful. Gear up to make your pedaling harder but more powerful. Practice shifting up and down in a flat area. Only shift while you're pedaling forward.

Consider  leaving behind friends who keep you focused on the past.  The social environment we live is an essential part of what defines both who we are. It also affects how we incorporate unresolved past experiences into our lives.  Spend some time thinking (or maybe writing in your journal) about the people you spend time with and how they make you feel. If there are people in your life who make you feel bad or reinforce negative habits, consider spending less time with them. For example, people who constantly put you down may not be good to have in your life. Friends who make it difficult for you to do what you need to do to incorporate difficult past experiences can also be a problem. Consider making new friends, or at least initiating a change of scenery. This isn’t always easy, but can be a great way to force you out of your comfort zone and grow as a person. It's a good idea to try new hobbies with your new companions. When you're ready, start to push the boundaries of your comfort zone by joining a local sports team or art class. New directions for your life will gradually emerge that might not have otherwise seemed possible. Don't upset yourself by thinking about people who did not respect and appreciate you. Instead, concentrate on those who stick by your side. Let them know you appreciate their help.  It can be hard not to dwell on negativity. But, your supportive friends are the ones who deserve your attention. Keep good friends close by during this time. Having a supportive community of people around you will help you stay strong. It will allow you to feel confident enough to engage with unresolved past experiences or difficult emotions without feeling alone. When you feel like you're slipping, try spending some time around someone you trust who can help keep you on the right track.  If you feel that you are going to fall back into a bad habit, or are on the verge of despair, call a trusted friend and ask if he or she can meet you for coffee or swing by your house. Having someone around can help...

TL;DR in English: Evaluate your social circle. Be grateful for the friends who support you. Try systematic desensitization. Engage with your fears and alter your habits. Make a list to track your behavior.

At minimum, you need one 12" x 12" (31cm x 31cm) nest for every four to five hens. Too few nests or small nests can cause eggs to be trampled or squashed and broken, or can stress the birds and lead to more pecking. You want to reduce the chances of a broken egg as much as possible so the chickens never get a taste for them.  Nests should be at least two feet (61cm) off the ground, and four feet (1.22 m) from roosts.  Remove any broody hens (hens that insist on sitting on their eggs to hatch them) from the nesting area so they don't occupy valuable nesting space and contribute to higher traffic in the other nests.  Consider a nest designed to allow the eggs to roll away into a tray after the hens stand up, keeping them safe from pecking and getting stepped on and broken. Bright lights will stress out your hens and make them nervous, which increases pecking. Turn the nest box away from the opening of the coop and away from the direct sunlight and don't install bright lights. You may need to cover any skylights or windows to create a more comfortable environment.  Remove anything that creates loud noises or sudden movements, as this can frighten the hens. If they get scared and run from the nesting box, they may break the eggs.  Reducing light sources can also help keep the coop at a comfortable temperature--if it becomes too hot, the chickens can get irritable and start pecking more. Make sure each nest has a few inches of clean, dry nesting material (such as wheat straw) at all times. If you can keep the eggs from accidentally breaking (by knocking into each other in the nest or being laid onto a hard, unpadded surface), your hens will not have the opportunity to learn how tasty eggs can be. If an egg breaks in the nest, quickly clean out all the soiled nesting material. A bored and irritated hen is more likely to start pecking, so make sure they have plenty to do. Hang a cabbage for them to peck at and give them adequate space to walk around and exercise.  Try to set up an area where they can roam and climb...

TL;DR in English: Reduce egg breakage by preventing overcrowding of the nests. Set up your nesting area in a dark, quiet area. Provide enough nesting material to cushion the eggs once they are laid. Don't let your hens get bored.

When followed by a gerund (the "–ing" verb form), anxiousness refers to anxiety, not pleasant feelings such as enthusiasm or excitement. Ex. “He was anxious about becoming the President." (He had an uncomfortable feeling about it.)  When followed with an infinitive ("to" and the verb), anxiousness refers to eager desire. Ex. “He was anxious to become the President." Eagerness conveys enthusiasm and is followed with an infinitive. Ex. “He was eager to become the President." (He was happy about it.)

TL;DR in English: Use "anxious” as instructed. Use “eager” as instructed.

Use your dominant hand to lift the wide end of the tie away from your chest, then cross it over the front of the narrow end (which you should hold in your off hand). Make the crossover within 3–4 in (7.6–10.2 cm) of the base of your neck, so that you create a fairly small “neck loop” above the crossover point and under your neck.

TL;DR in English: Cross the wide end of the tie in front of and over the narrow end.

Bikes with gears almost always have hand controls on the handlebars to use for shifting. When you use the left-hand controls, a metal loop called a derailleur ("de-railer") shifts the chain from side to side to make it catch on a new front gear. The front gears makes a large shift in your gear ratio. There are a few different mechanisms for shifting that are common on bikes. These include:  Grip shifters that you work by turning your wrist Small levers above or below the handlebars that you work with your thumbs Larger levers next to the handbrakes that you work with your fingertips More rarely, electronic shifters or levers mounted on the frame of the bike The rear gears have their own derailleur. Using the right-hand controls will move the rear derailleur side to side, making the chain catch on a new rear gear. The rear gears make smaller adjustments to your gear ratio since they have a smaller difference in tooth count. The rear gears almost always use the same mechanism as the front gears. If you can't keep your hand controls straight while you're riding, remember: "right = rear." You can change your gears to make riding your bike easier in certain situations. For example, shifting into a "lower" gear lets you pedal quicker and easier, but each pedal won't push you as far. The further inboard the chain is, the easier it will be to pedal. There are two ways to do shift down:  Shift into a smaller gear in the front.  Shift into a bigger gear in the back. The opposite of shifting down is shifting up into a "higher" gear. These gears make it harder to pedal, but each pedal will push you further and make you go faster. When the chain is farther outboard, it will become more difficult to pedal. There are also two ways to shift up:  Shift into a bigger gear in the front.  Shift into a smaller gear in the back. A good way to get the hang of shifting is to simply start doing it!

Set a chalk line 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) from each side edge. Measure between these lines to make sure it's 113 inches (290 cm) apart; take measurements at different points to see if the lines are parallel all along the platform. Place the 2 113 in (290 cm) boards at the top and bottom of the wall. Add 2 6 ft (1.8 m) boards to each end. Space the other 4 6 ft (1.8 m) boards out evenly across the middle of the wall running up and down. Nail the boards into each other with size 16 penny nails. Nail into the top and bottom of the wall at each perpendicular board, adding 2-3 nails to each end for every board. Cut the plywood to fit the wall by measuring the wall and the plywood. Lay it on top of the wall, and then use size 6 penny nails to nail it into the boards below. Try to place a nail at least every 1 foot (0.30 m) or so. Move this wall off the platform to work on another wall. Lay 2 192 in (490 cm) boards going lengthwise along the platform, one at the top and one at the bottom to form the wall. Place 1 6 ft (1.8 m) board on each end and space the other 8 out along the middle at an equal distance. Nail the wall together with size 16 penny nails by adding 2-3 at the top and bottom of each vertical board. Wait to cut and nail in the plywood siding for this wall. Do this step twice to build a wall for each side. Before building the front wall, you need to know how big of a space you need to leave in the front wall for a door. Measure the height and width of the door using a tape measure. Create the frame out of your 2 by 4 in (5.1 by 10.2 cm) boards. Cut 2 boards that go the height of the door and 1 that is the width of the door plus the width of the other 2 boards. Place the 2 longer boards parallel to each on the floor on their edges and the shorter board perpendicular at the top on its edge. Spread the 2 longer boards out so they are at either end of the shorter board, then nail them into place with size 16 penny nails to form the frame. Lay out 2 113 in (290 cm) boards at the top and bottom. Lay down the door...

TL;DR in English: Mark the platform to use as a guide for the back wall. Lay the boards out for the back wall and nail them to each other. Add plywood siding to the wall. Repeat the process for the side walls. Measure the door you plan to use for the front. Make a frame for the door. Build the front wall. Make triangular pieces for the side walls to brace the roof. Nail these triangles into the top of the side walls.

Since an endoscopic procedure is less invasive than an open surgery, the recovery time is shorter as well. Your surgeon will bandage your foot after the surgery, and she will then wrap it in a walking cast or postoperative boot. You can expect to wear this for three to seven days after the surgery. Your doctor may end up recommending you wear the boot or cast for longer. Always wear it according to your surgeon’s postoperative directions. While you are not forbidden from walking, your surgeon will recommend that you stay off the foot as much as possible for the first week after the surgery. This will limit your pain, recovery period, and potential for complications such as soft tissue damage around the site.  Your surgeon will likely tell you to stay off your feet for everything but getting up to use the restroom and eat.  You should also keep the foot and bandage completely dry to reduce the risk of infection. At your first follow-up appointment, your surgeon will decide whether or not to remove your cast/boot yet. If your surgeon removes it, then he will recommend that you wear shoes with plenty of arch support for the next several weeks while still minimizing the amount of weight you place on your foot. Podiatrists and surgeons will typically prescribe custom orthotic shoe inserts before ever performing plantar fasciitis surgery. Return to using your orthotics as directed to provide the additional support as your foot heals. Your surgeon will remove any sutures from the procedure at your next appointment, which will likely be anywhere from 10 to 14 days after your initial procedure. Once the sutures are out, you are free to resume bathing your foot. You can also resume placing your full weight on the foot. Even with your sutures out and using your orthotics, you are likely to experience some discomfort from walking for around three weeks.  If your job requires you to spend long hours on your feet, then you may have to take this time off work. You should arrange this with your employer before scheduling...

TL;DR in English: Wear your postoperative shoe or walking cast. Stay off your feet for the first week. Use supportive walking shoes once your surgeon removes the cast or boot. Have your surgeon remove your sutures. Do not try to resume your normal walking routine for at least three weeks. Go to all of your doctor and physical therapy appointments. Consult your physical therapist before resuming any strenuous exercise routines.

Rabbits scare easily, so it is important to go slow when you pick up your rabbit. Try not to make any sudden movements or do anything else that might scare the rabbit. For example, do not yell, jump up and down, or thrust your hand into the rabbit’s cage. Instead, try to speak in a low voice, approach the cage at a slow and steady pace, and then slowly reach into the rabbit’s cage. When you reach into the rabbit’s cage, the best place to grasp the rabbit is by the scruff of its neck. Grabbing the rabbit’s scruff will restrain the rabbit, prevent it from biting or scratching you, and allow you to gently pull the rabbit out of the cage. Do not hold the rabbit by the scruff of his neck alone. Make sure that you are ready to support the rabbit’s bottom with your other hand right away. Rabbits will kick fast and hard if their back legs are not well-supported. Make sure that you place a hand under your rabbit’s bottom at the same moment that you lift him out of his cage. You should have one hand on the rabbit’s scruff and the other hand should be supporting the rabbit’s bottom. Since rabbits are prey animals, being lifted off of the ground can be a frightening experience. Rabbits associate being lifted off of the ground with being in danger. One way to calm down a rabbit when you pick it up is to place a small towel over his eyes. This will prevent the rabbit from seeing that he is not on the ground.

TL;DR in English: Approach the rabbit in a slow, calm manner. Grasp the rabbit’s scruff. Support the rabbit’s bottom with your other hand. Cover the rabbit’s eyes.

You won’t be able to prove that someone else farted, but there are ways that you can raise suspicion that it was another person, not you.  Use the rule of three or more. This means that you should only let the fart out when you’re standing in a group of three or more people. That’s because it will be easier to diffuse the blame and harder for people to tell who did it with a larger group. The key here is to let out the fart as silently as you can. You could blame someone directly or just indicate you’re disgusted by the smell and question who did it. Don’t react until others start to do so, though. When you see them sniffing the area and starting to realize someone has farted, that’s your chance. Act disgusted by the smell, and point it out only after someone else has started to do so. If you blame another person too fast you might identify yourself as the farter following the old adage “whomever smelt it, dealt it.” This might sound terrible, but if you want people to think the farter was someone else, choose the right person to stand near.  For example, babies and toddlers can’t talk to deny they did it, and most people wouldn’t be surprised if a baby or toddler let out a little gas. A person who is dressed in dirty clothing or who doesn’t always have the best hygiene would be another good choice. Senior citizens and pets can also make good patsies, but it’s really not very nice to blame grandma for something you did. You might actually gain points if you just confess, and admit that you’re the one who stunk up the room.  Apologize and then act as if it’s a normal thing to do. People will probably laugh or act a little uncomfortable, and then they will forget it. You could refer to a cartoon character like Peter Griffin in the Family Guy, who has been known to fart in public before. Just say, “Yeah, yeah, it was me. I’m really sorry. I tried to stop it, but it clearly didn’t work.” Almost everyone can relate. We’ve all been there.

TL;DR in English: Blame someone else. Stand by the right person. Own up.

Consider what you are capable of drawing as well as how you would like your anime girl to appear. Also keep in mind the personality of the character - a girl who's meant to be dark and mysterious isn't going to be wearing a bunch of frills! Depending on the type of school your girl goes to, she may wear different types of uniforms.  The stereotypical sailor fuku that's often seen in anime, also called the sailor uniform or seifuku, consists of a white shirt with a skirt, with a sailor collar over the shirt and a tie of some sort. In anime and manga, most sailor fukus are depicted as having rather short skirts - however, the skirts of the sailor fuku's uniform are actually typically knee-length or longer. They tend to be depicted as shorter because many girls in Japan roll their skirts at the waist, giving the appearance of a shorter skirt. These are most often seen in middle schools, although some high schools use them. High schools in Japan are gradually switching over to a more Western-style uniform, which consists of a plain shirt, a skirt or pants, a tie, and a blazer. Again, the skirts aren't short - they're rolled up! Gym uniforms tend to be solid color, usually something such as black or navy blue. The summer gym uniform typically consists of a pair of gym shorts and a short-sleeved gym shirt. The winter uniforms will usually be longer and have a jacket. Depending on the school, the uniform may have the owner's name written on it in kanji or katakana. However, katakana is usually reserved for students with foreign names. The shoes the students wear outdoors are usually a pair of black or dark brown loafers. However, Japanese schools require students to change into uwabaki, or a pair of soft slippers meant for indoor wear. The appearance of uwabaki differs from school to school, but they can have the appearance of typical slip-on shoes without rubber soles. "Casual clothing" can be defined as something that you would typically leave the house in, or see most people walking around in - for example, jeans...

TL;DR in English:


Confirm that your junk silver coins have no numismatic value. Calculate the sum of your coins' face values. Multiply the total face value of your collection by 0.715 to calculate the quantity of silver.

When you're playing a new opponent, whether it's at a competition or during a friendly game at a family outing, you should assess your opponent's game even while you're warming up. You should look for a few main things: if your opponent is more of an aggressive or defensive player, if his forehand or backhand is his dominant shot, and any weaknesses, such as slow footwork or weak drop shot returns, that you can exploit. Don't hit all of your shots to the same location of the court of your opponent will be able to predict your next move every time. Instead, mix things up by hitting a drop shot followed by a shot to the baseline, or by moving your opponent from the right to the left side of the court. Moving from the front to the back of the court is particularly tricky unless your opponent has very nimble feet. Many players are weaker on the backhand side, so try shooting toward your opponent's backhand and see if this makes your opponent return less shots. If so, continue to exploit your opponent's backhand. Your backhand is the left side for right-handed players and the right side for left-handed players. When you're up at the net, simply hit the shuttle short, just barely over to your opponent's side. This will make your opponent run and will catch him off guard. This is a great technique if your opponent is positioned near the back line. If your opponent knows that you are going to do a short shot, you need to flick the shuttle over the opponent or to another side and if you didn't do this, your opponent will fly the shuttle near the back line. If your opponent hits the shuttle straight at you, hit the shuttle in a different direction instead of hitting it right back at your opponent, where he will expect it to go. This will work especially well if the shuttle has generated a lot of momentum. If you're quick on your feet, you can change the direction of the shuttle and not give your opponent enough time to react to a fast-moving shuttle. If you have mastered the drop shot, then use it to make your opponent...

TL;DR in English: Understand your opponent's game. Make your opponent move around the court. Shoot toward your opponent's backhand. Hit a simple short shot. Change the direction of the shuttle. Hit a drop shot followed by a shot to the back of the court. Make your opponent play your style of game.

If the other party is riled up and looking for violence, words might not do any good, but it's usually a good idea to try. Physical fights can very likely end people in the ER, so avoiding them at all costs is advisable. Try to determine why the other person is angry, and see if you can talk them down.  Some people may be motivated not by anger but by something else, like a mugger whose motivation is money. Trying to talk them out of the attack would be a bad idea that could cause even more trouble. In such a situation, giving up your money without defending yourself is the wisest choice to avoid harm. Physical fights very often start as a verbal fight, an argument. If you sense that a confrontation you're in might escalate to physical violence, try to quell the argument. First, lower your voice and end the shouting match. Say things like "I don't want to fight," and "I understand why you're upset" to make it very clear that you're not interested in escalating the conflict. Once the other person has calmed down some, start talking it over by conceding the points of the argument that they are right about, and what, if anything, you did wrong. While it may seem easier to fight, you should always run away rather than fight. It might wound your pride to run away from a fight, but a wounded pride is better than a wounded body, especially when a wounded body can have serious long-term repercussions. If you tried talking it out, and that didn't work, try getting away. Don't turn your back and run, as this leaves you vulnerable. Just slowly back away, while watching for any sudden moves. If your assailant is a mugger, give him your money. Chances are he has a knife or some other kind of weapon, and the money in your wallet is not more valuable than your life. Most fights with no good reason behind them start because of a combination of intoxication and miscommunication. Don't let your ego get in way of apologizing, even for something you didn't do. And keep your voice low and calm when you try to reason with the...

TL;DR in English: Try talking it out first. Let go of your ego and escape. Lower your voice and apologize.

Even basic editing can help separate your video from the thousands of similar videos on YouTube. Edit out any lulls, mistakes, or bad content. Take some time to learn how to use a video editing program. There are several free open source video editing programs available, and many digital camcorders come packaged with video editing software. If you are making a series of videos based on the same general concept (how-tos, reviews, etc.), come up with common transitions and effects that you can apply to all of your videos. This will give your content a unified feel, making it appear much more professional to the viewer. Transitions have a large impact on your video branding. Your brand is a very important aspect of YouTube channel success, so be sure to cultivate it as much as possible. Experiment with different kinds of shots. Get to know your camera inside and out. Smooth camera work will do wonders for your subscriber retention.  Avoid moving the camera around a lot, unless that is the specific feel you are going for. For example, if you are talking into the camera, and then want to zoom in on an example on the table, don’t film the camera moving. Instead cut from one shot to the other so that the audience doesn’t experience any jarring camera movements. Get a friend or family member to help. Having a dedicated camera operator can free you up to be more personable in front of the camera. Having a “crew” also adds an air of professionalism to your production, as opposed to just using your webcam to make a movie. Use a tripod or stand where ever possible to ensure a steady shot. If you must be moving around then use a jib or a camera with optical stabilization.

TL;DR in English: Edit your videos. Develop transitions. Practice your camera work.

Your main vocals are generally sung by a single person. The main vocals in most cases follow along with the melody to the beat of the bassline, though there may be times when a vocalist harmonizes with the instrumental melody or vice versa. Depending on the track you are producing, you may even want to leave out vocals.   Write lyrics for your song that mean something to you or that are in line with the feeling you want to convey with your song. When starting out, one set of main vocals might be best. Secondary vocals, like that of a guest vocalist or a duet, can be effective in your track, but might be hard to balance while learning the basics of production. There are moments, like at the end of a verse or the chorus, where the main vocals can oftentimes be naturally accented with harmony. Experiment by adding harmonic vocals to moments of high tension, the ends of musical phrases, and parts of the song you want to stress.  Adding too many harmonic vocals, much like adding too many instruments, can bog down your sound, making it muddy. Use supporting harmonic vocals sparingly.  Your placement of these vocals is ultimately a matter of preference and taste. Experiment by harmonizing at various points in the song and seeing what you like. This is a good way to limit supplemental vocals from muddying your sound. At moments you wish to emphasize, like at the end of a phrase or on some killer lyrics, double or triple the main vocal to create a fuller sound. You can modify the tones of the overdubs to create harmony with a single voice. The chord created by these tones will be naturally pleasing since they are produced by the same voice.

TL;DR in English: Produce the main vocals. Integrate background vocals for harmony. Overdub the main vocals for emphasis.

The majority of junk silver is valued almost exclusively by its silver content. However, rare coins accumulate additional value. Search online for the value of your coin by referencing the date and image on the coin.  In general, coins that pre-date the 1940s have some collectors’ value. Other coins garner a collector’s value because they are a rare mint. The mint refers to where  the coin was produced and is denoted by a small letter stamped on the coin. A coin may have been produced in mass quantities at one mint, but in much smaller quantities at another mint; if your coin came from the latter, it will be worth more.  You must also pay attention to coin grading, which how you determine the quality of a coin's condition. Grading takes into account how well the coin was struck at the original mint, how well it is preserved, and how much wear and damage the coin has suffered.  Examples of rare coins include the Kennedy Silver Half Dollars and the Morgan or Peace Dollars. However, newer coins, like the Kennedy Silver Dollar, need to be in excellent physical condition to retain collectors’ value. The silver content of most 1965 U.S. specie is proportional to its denomination. For example, a half-dollar has precisely double the silver content of a quarter. Therefore, the first step in determining the total silver content is to add up the face value of every coin in your collection. Do not include nickels or pennies, which were not made from silver, with rare exceptions like 1942-1945 war nickels. Pricing these, however, can be complicated and so they should also be excluded from your calculation. A dollar's worth of 90-percent-silver coins would originally have contained 0.723 troy ounces of silver. However, because old coins are worn, silver dealers generally calculate on an average weight of 0.715 troy ounces per dollar.  A troy ounce is a unit of measurement that is common when weighing precious metals. One troy ounce is equal to 31.103 grams or 1.097 ounces. Because half-dollars circulated less they will...

There's no shame in negative thinking; negative thoughts are caused by anxiety and not by who you are as a person. Wishing away your negative thoughts will most likely exacerbate the situation. Negative thoughts can lessen with practice and time. As long as you get into the practice of examining your thoughts and the role they are playing, whether it's to protect you or from feeling anxious, you can control how they affect you. Keeping busy gives you less time to dwell on your thoughts and can also remind you of the things you enjoy. Look for activities that you enjoy or try something new. For example, you could:  Go for a jog: this tires your mind and helps reduce stress through physical activity. Take a walk somewhere you enjoy, like a park. Watch a funny movie or TV show, read a funny book, or listen to a podcast of a favorite radio show.  Spend time with a friend, family member, or social community. Staying connected with others can help you feel more positive and turn your mind away from yourself. Taking good care of yourself can help you to deal with negative thoughts as well. Eating well, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can help you feel better mentally and physically. Make sure that you are eating well, sleeping enough, and getting regular exercise to feel your best.  Try to eat a balanced diet that include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Avoid junk food, as well as excess sugar and fat.  Get between 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Keep in mind that this is only the recommendation for adults. Some people may be okay with less than 7 hours or require more than 8 hours of sleep per night.  Exercise for 30 minutes three times a week. Even a 30-minute walk, or two 15-minute strolls, can count. Positive daily affirmations can help you to deal with the negative emotions that often accompany negative thoughts. Take a few moments every day to look at yourself in the mirror and say something encouraging to yourself. You can either say something that you...

TL;DR in English: Accept that you will continue to have some negative thoughts. Distract yourself with positive activities. Take care of yourself. Use positive daily affirmations to build yourself up. Forgive yourself when you make a mistake. Congratulate yourself for little victories.

An endoscopy can serve several purposes. Your doctor might advise an endoscopy to investigate symptoms such as nausea or vomiting. If your doctor recommends an endoscopy, take time to learn why.  In addition to investigating digestive symptoms, your doctor might use the endoscopy to collect tissue samples. This is also known as a biopsy. Tissue samples can help your doctor to diagnose your condition. The tissue samples can be tested for diseases such as anemia and certain cancers. If your doctor suggests this procedure, you do not need to immediately be alarmed. It is a common procedure and used to diagnose many conditions. Talk to your doctor about what the procedure entails. You can also ask him to provide additional resources, such as pamphlets or useful web sites. If you know what to expect, you will feel more comfortable about having the procedure.  You will be awake during an endoscopy, however you will also be slightly sedated with a rapid onset and short duration medication. It is a same day procedure that takes place in a doctor's office or exam room. During the procedure, you will lie down either on your back or side. Your doctor may give you a sedative to help you relax. The endoscope, which includes a small camera, will be inserted into your mouth. Your doctor will extend the scope down into your esophagus so that the camera can capture images. Your doctor might use other small tools to gather the tissue samples. You will not be able to talk during the procedure, but you will be able to breathe and make sounds. It is important to understand that there are actually two common types of endoscopy. One is the upper endoscopy and the other is a colonoscopy. Make sure to clarify with your doctor which type of procedure you need.  Your doctor will use an endoscopy to view the upper digestive tract, or a colonoscopy to view the lower digestive tract. The upper endoscopy is the procedure where the scope is inserted through the mouth. It will allow your doctor to look at the small intestines and stomach in...

TL;DR in English: Learn about the procedure. Know what to expect. Understand different procedures. Ask questions.

If you talk to no one in the group of people around you, it's gonna be pretty hard to open yourself up to this boy. Start by befriending the other people around you. This is good for a few reasons:  He'll see you talking to those around you. This makes you look friendly, fun, and sociable. It'll also make you seem more approachable. He may be friends with the people you're talking to. This is a natural bridge to get you two talking to each other. When you talk to everyone, it's only natural that you would start talking to him, too. This makes it look as if you don't have any secret intentions, masking any potential feelings you may not want to slip out. The more you get out in to the world and socialize and talk to people, the easier it will become with anyone and everyone. If you only string two words together biannually, you're probably going to be pretty rusty and awkward. And that's normal – no one was born a Casanova – we all learn it. We are all social animals and tend to pick up this stuff pretty quickly one we get out there and try – and the same goes for you! It'll be hard at first, but with each time it'll get easier and easier. This is why you start with the people around you you aren't interested in – to warm you and your skills up for that special boy. . If you are smiling and look willing and eager to talk to people, then you are inevitably going to meet them. If you are standoffish or don't add to the conversation at all (like being obsessed with your phone), others will likely move past you, thinking you don't want to talk. Keep your head up and your mind involved and interested in your surroundings. If you're in the same place, you'll be sharing similar experiences, and it'll give you something to talk about. Imagine this scenario: you're at your after-school club and a whole bunch of you are around a table snacking. A mutual friend cracks a joke and you all laugh and laugh. Later, you two are leaving the parking lot together, and you reference that joke. You share a laugh and it breaks the...

Wash your hair, face and shave if you wish. By getting these basics out of the way, you're free to relax rather than focusing on cleaning yourself. Adjust the temperature to your liking. Add bath salts and essential oils and maybe even bubble bath. Get a bath pillow or a rolled-up towel and prop your head on it. The bath is not meant to cleanse, but mostly to relieve tension, so if you need to wash your hair, shave, etc. It's better to do this before you begin. If you don't, you may feel stressed throughout the spa.  Put on a face mask. If you want, put some teabags or cucumber slices on your eyes to reduce under-eye swelling. Put on lip balm. Get a deep-conditioning hair mask and let it sit for the remainder of the bath. Lie back and read a book, have a glass of wine and some chocolate, or simply relax. It's all about relaxation. Candles for the bath are much more relaxing and better than having a bright light in your eyes. (Dipping your head underwater is optional)

TL;DR in English: Take a shower. Start your bath. Turn on that relaxing music and light the candles. Stay in your bath for as long as you want.

Pull down the plastic skirt cover the extendable, metal cylinder. Estimate the diameter of the cylinder by holding a ruler across it horizontally. Also measure the length of the cylinder when the chair is at the perfect height. You shouldn't need an exact measurement, but you can calculating the diameter from the circumference if you prefer to be precise. This pipe will fit over the pneumatic cylinder of the chair. It should be about the same size as the cylinder diameter, or slightly larger. Pipe 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter works well for most models. Buy enough straight pipe to extend from the wheel base of your chair to the seat, when the chair is at the preferred height.  The pipe does not have to be in one piece. It may be easier to work with in smaller pieces, although you can easily cut it yourself at home. One user reports using a tall stack of plastic shower rings instead of PVC pipe. These are even cheaper and easier to install, but they may not be sturdy enough to support your weight. Try at your own risk. . Secure the pipe in a vise. Use a hacksaw or back saw to cut through the pipe from tip to tip, but only on one side. The end result should be a pipe with a slit in it, not two half-pipes.  Wearing a mask or respirator is recommended while cutting PVC to avoid inhaling irritating particles.  If you do not have a vise or cutting tools, just leave the pipe intact and remove the chair's wheels so you can slide on the pipe. In most cases, you can remove the wheel base by pressing a retaining clip on the underside with a screwdriver. Pull the chair's plastic skirt up or down to reveal the metal cylinder. Push the slit side of the PVC pipe against the cylinder to snap it around the cylinder. It should now hold the chair in place, preventing it from sliding down. If you're having trouble snapping the pipe on, saw it into shorter pieces and try again. If the chair is still too low, raise it and snap on another piece of pipe. You will not be able to lower the chair again without removing the pipe, so...

Acknowledge your feelings. Talk to other fans. Eat something. Turn off the TV. Get a little exercise. Remember it’s just a game.

No dye—even products marketed as eyebrow dye—is FDA approved for use on your eyebrows or eyelashes. You can have an allergic reaction or damage the sensitive skin around your eye. The dyes can cause irritation and, if they get in your eye, can potentially cause blindness.  If you decide to dye your eyebrows, be very very careful not to get any in your eye. Apply the dye in small amounts so there is less chance it will drip off the applicator and into your eye. Keep 2 bottles of sterile eye irrigation solution on-hand to flush out your eye, should you get any dye in it. Irrigate your eye with the entire bottle and, if burning continues, use the entire second bottle.  Be sure to spot test the dye on your skin (the back of your neck or the inside of your upper arm will work). If your skin doesn't react in the 2 days following the treatment, then you can dye your brows without worrying about a reaction.

TL;DR in English: Be aware of the risks.

You can pop dried dates right into your mouth for a quick and delicious snack. If your dates have not been pitted, bite into each date carefully and remove the pit. Dates pair wonderfully with oats. Add a few chopped dates when simmering your oatmeal in the morning, or use them to make overnight oats. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 date per serving of oatmeal. Some recipe ideas include:  Date-sweetened apple pie oatmeal  Espresso overnight oats with salted date caramel Chopped dates are an excellent addition to traditional green salads, grain salads, and other vegetable medleys. For a salad with 4-6 servings, try adding 5-8 chopped dates (depending on their size). Some recipes ideas include:  Roasted cauliflower salad with chopped dried dates.  Butternut squash and quinoa salad with dates Dates are an excellent way to sweeten foods without adding refined sugar. Soak dried dates in hot water for 10 minutes, then add them to your favorite smoothies. For 1 serving, try using about 3 pitted dates (depending on their size). Some smoothie ideas include:  Peanut butter and jelly date smoothie  Banana date smoothie The sweet, sticky quality of dried dates makes them an excellent base for no-bake dessert balls. Add soaked dates to a food processor. Add in other ingredients, such as oats, chocolate chips, nut butters, chia seeds, coconut flakes, or cashews. Pulse the food processor about 10 times to create tiny chunks. Roll the mix in your hands to create small balls. Refrigerate for 1 hour before consuming. Some date ball ideas include:  Almond butter date balls  Coconut date balls

TL;DR in English: Eat dried dates for an easy snack. Sprinkle dates into your oatmeal. Add dates to salads. Blend dates into a smoothie. Make date balls for a healthy dessert.

Many people happen to be introverted, meaning that you're more comfortable spending time alone or with your own thoughts. If this sounds like you, don't force yourself to completely become an outgoing, social person. Doing so can lead to stress, anxiety, and heart disease. Instead, spend time in social situations you already enjoy and try to have meaningful conversations. By accepting your introverted nature, you can focus on the quality of your social interactions rather than trying to increase the number of social interactions you have. You can become socially confident by engaging other people in a way that interests them and makes them feel heard. These skills, along with the ability to make others feel heard, are known as social competence. Research has shown that improving social competence actually increases positive self-perceptions and acceptance during social situations. Practicing social competence can create opportunities for yourself, since you're more likely to approach others. How you see yourself is one of the most common factors that influences your confidence. You may think that you're giving off a negative impression to others in social situations, but you're probably just looking for anything to confirm your own beliefs. If you don't see yourself as socially confident, it can be easy to look for evidence that confirms your belief, since people prefer experiences to match their predictions. Instead, reframe a situation to challenge how you see yourself. Catch yourself thinking negative thoughts and ask yourself what evidence you see or hear that proves the thought. For example, imagine you're out and think, "I know everyone here thinks I’m boring because I have nothing interesting to say.” Stop thinking the negative thought and ask yourself what proves that thought without a doubt. Once you've started looking for evidence to support how you feel, test the evidence to see if it was caused by other things beyond your control. Don't assume that others’ reactions are caused by you, because this...

TL;DR in English: Accept your personality. Understand the importance of confidence. Avoid negative thoughts. Test your beliefs. Express compassion for others. Maintain healthy expectations.

If you want to look like you’re rich, avoid dressing in messy clothes. Look for clothes with more structured tailoring, like button-down shirts or nice trousers. For a more feminine look, try wearing dresses with a nipped-in waist or a slim-fitting skirt and a blouse or sweater. You can look rich even when you’re dressing casually by choosing well-fitting jeans in a dark denim. Darker jeans are sleeker and look more expensive. Clothes often look more expensive in neutral colors like camel, off-white, black, beige, and blush pink. Mix and match these neutral tones to create a luxurious look, regardless of what you paid for the pieces. You don’t have to wear leather loafers to class every day, but you won’t look rich if you’re wearing your old gym shoes. Buy a good pair of shoes to make your outfits look their best. Look for stylish sneakers, boat shoes, or a nice pair of flats in a versatile neutral color. Make sure your shoes look good for as long as possible by keeping them clean. Don’t wear your good shoes when you’re playing sports or when you’ll be getting messy, and wipe any dirt off of them as soon as possible to avoid staining. Wear nice clothes if you have to give a presentation at school or you’re attending a special assembly. Opt for a pretty dress, a button-down shirt with a nice pair of slacks or a skirt, or a sports coat with a pair of khakis. Girls don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to have a nice bag. Look for a leather (or faux leather) purse in a versatile color like beige or black. Make sure it's free of any logos, as this will cheapen the look of the bag. The stitching and the hardware (snaps, zippers, and rings) should seem sturdy, since expensive bags are usually built to last. Opt for a backpack in a neutral color if you have to carry one. If you have to carry your books to school in a backpack, look for one made from leather or canvas in a color like white, tan, black, or blue. A simple, neutral backpack will coordinate with most of your outfits and will make you look more...

TL;DR in English: Wear clothes with clean, polished lines in classic styles. Wear dark denim. Pair neutral colors together. Invest in a good pair of shoes. Dress up for special occasions. Carry a nice bag. Choose polished accessories. Follow the one-third rule. Get your clothes tailored.

Sometimes people allow things like the performance of their favorite team to affect their emotions. That’s okay. If you are angry or upset about your team losing, don’t pretend otherwise. Give yourself a chance to vent a little bit, or at least be disappointed. Keep control. Because it’s only a game, there is no reason for your anger or sadness to lead to personally destructive behavior. If you are at the game, go ahead and yell a bit, but avoid shouting at other fans (especially fans of the other team). Avoid stirring up fights or throwing things as well. Sports are a great communal experience, and even if you are watching alone at home, there are other people out there enjoying the game too. Call your friends who are also fans to let off steam and cope with the disappointment of a losing team. Consider joining a fan club or online forums to talk more about your disappointment and even brainstorm ways to fix what went wrong. If you are going to suffer, it’s better to do so with other fans. Food can be a great comfort when faced with disappointment, including watching your team lose. Just make sure to eat healthy if you can. People tend to reach for sweets and other unhealthy foods when dealing with a loss. Instead, make sure you are surrounded by healthier foods so that you aren’t tempted to pack on the pounds after defeat.  Comfort food, a term for rich foods that tend to make people feel good after eating it, are popular choices after a loss. They are filling, and may remind people of pleasant memories like childhood, and other things to take the mind off of losing. Look for hearty foods like macaroni and cheese, stews, pot pies, meatloaf, and sweets, which are all popular “comfort” choices. To make these options a bit healthier, consider using lower fat creams and cheeses, swapping out beef for turkey in meatloaf or chili, or adding vegetables. If you are looking for something sweeter, eat darker chocolate.    Avoid overeating. While it is okay to enjoy a little snack to feel better after a loss, remember...

TL;DR in English:

Many padded and push-up bra styles feature substantial amounts of molded foam padding. Select this style if you want the appearance of a larger chest. If you’ll be adding breast forms, pick a bra with underwire support to help lift and hold the forms in place.  The underwire sits in a U-shaped curve below each cup within a channel in the band. To find out whether a bra has underwire, pinch this part of the bra to see if it’s rigid. Make sure you choose the correct band size. Otherwise, the underwire may start digging into your chest. If you plan to wear small breast forms or no padding at all, consider a soft, wireless bra. Based on your preferences, you can find wireless bras in sports-bra designs, jersey loungewear styles, lacey bralette options, and everything in between.  If you’d like to ease into wearing a bra, start off with a non-padded bra to see how you like it. Some wireless bras feature hook closures while others are stretchy and can be pulled on over your head. Try whichever style you prefer. If you’ve purchased breast forms, see if the retailer sells corresponding bras as well. Look for a bra that features pockets or pouches in each cup to hold the inserts.  If you’re using large or heavy breast forms, a pocket bra will provide extra support and will keep them in place. Make sure you pick out a pocket bra that’s compatible with the breast forms you plan to wear. Avoid buying one in too small a cup size; you might stretch it out trying to fit the inserts inside. If you’re looking for a bra that doubles as shapewear, opt for a longline bra. The band on a longline bra typically hits near the waist, and it contains boning to help cinch in your figure and while eliminating any bulges. Go up at least 1 size from your usual band size to account for the more constricted silhouette. Many longline bras feature a row of hooks and eyes at the back, which can be difficult to close up at first. Take some time to practice doing up the closures, starting with the top hook and working your way down. If you find...

TL;DR in English: Choose a padded bra with underwire support for a firmer bust. Try a non-padded, wireless bra for a softer silhouette. Select a pocket bra to hold large breast forms in place. Wear a longline bra to smooth out your torso. Try a convertible bra for multiple bra strap configurations. Decide whether you prefer bras with back or front closures. Pick a bra in your favorite color, fabric, and cut. Purchase your bra from a bricks-and-mortar or online retailer.

After completing your termination notice letter, you will want to consider when to give it to your landlord. Remember, the notice period will not start until your notice is delivered to your landlord.  If you are in a month-to-month tenancy, you should deliver your notice letter along with your last month's rent. This will ensure that you provide the required 30 days notice and that you will have paid the last month's rent. If you have a fixed term tenancy, you should deliver the notice 30 days (or however long your state's notice requirement is) before the term is up. For example, if you signed a lease that ends on August 31, 2013, you should deliver your notice August 1, 2013. While you can give the landlord notice at any time during the rental period, if you give notice in the middle of the month you will be required to cover part of the next month's rent. For example, assume you have a month-to-month tenancy and you pay rent on the first of the month. You could give your notice on the tenth of the month but you would be required to pay rent through the tenth of the following month. After deciding when you want to deliver your notice, remember to look at your lease agreement or your state's laws and understand how you will have to deliver your notice. Make sure you follow the correct procedures to ensure your notice is valid. Once you have delivered your notice, be sure you vacate the property on or before the date you specified in your notice letter.

TL;DR in English: Choose when you want to deliver your notice letter to your landlord. Deliver the notice letter to your landlord properly. Move out by the required date.

Yes, many guys do enjoy a good meal, love watching sports, and think about sex almost constantly.  But, you aren’t trying to make “many guys” happy — you want to make your boyfriend happy.  Showing that you know his particular wants and needs is perhaps the best way into a man’s heart. The advice in this section may be applicable to your boyfriend, or it may not be.  Take it with a grain of salt, and rely on your best judgment. Your boyfriend may be more than content to hang around with you while you’re in sweats, but deep down he probably wants to see you make the effort to get “fancied up” for him at least sometimes.  At very least, keeping up with basic hygiene and showing that you care about how you present yourself to the world will probably make him happier. Yes, there is a superficial element to it, but your boyfriend almost certainly chose to be with you in part because he was attracted to your looks, and he wants to continue to be attracted to them.  The longer you’re together, his love for you as a whole person will make your appearance on the outside beautiful to him no matter what.  But, the fact that you’re putting in the effort to be attractive can show that you care about both yourself and him. This might be the ideal Sunday afternoon for many guys.  If your boyfriend likes food and football, indulge him at least sometimes.  Maybe he wants you to watch the game with him, or maybe he’d rather just watch it with his friends.  Use your knowledge of him to decide what’s best.  Of course, maybe your guy hates sports and is on a strict diet.  As mentioned, this isn’t “one size fits all” advice.  However, the larger principle — giving your boyfriend what makes him happy sometimes, even if it is a bit annoying for you — remains true for most any type of guy. All relationships require some sacrifices and compromises.  Sometimes you have to let him have things his way, in spite of your instincts.  Of course, you deserve to expect the same from him as well. Yes, we’re talking about intimate relations...

TL;DR in English: Make him happy. Keep up your appearance. Cook him a nice meal and let him watch sports. Satisfy his desires.

If you think your script is ready, send query letters to production companies and directors asking for permission to send them your script. Your main goal is to promote yourself and your work. Your query letter should address the appropriate person (instead of “to whom it may concern”) and should include the following:  A one sentence logline that describes what your story is about. A plot synopsis (up to a paragraph) that describes your story in further detail, including characters, their journeys, and what’s at stake. You should convey what is unique about your script and why the company needs it. A short biography. Let your reader know what experience you have in the film industry. It’s okay to brag a little here. Be specific and tell them about awards you have won and what you have achieved. If you don’t have any experience, you may want to explain your background and why you are interested in the film industry. Your story may be good. It may be great. Still, only around two percent of scripts make it past the first desk.  If yours is rejected, or you never receive a response, don’t be discouraged. Keep sending your script out. Alternatively, you may consider making some improvements to your script that might get it accepted. Los Angeles is still where most of the action is. However, cities like Atlanta, New York, Chicago, and Austin boast lively film scenes and are home to many production companies.  If you see screenwriting as a future career and not just a hobby, you should be prepared to relocate for that career. Living in L.A. or cities like it will make you available for meetings with producers or agents, and they will be more likely to take you seriously if you’re local. Whether you’re at your job or at your local coffee shop, talk to people. Depending on who you meet, you may find they work in the film industry, or perhaps they know someone in the film industry. Be ready to give them your contact information—or better yet, a business card—and keep a notebook of people and their titles. Making it...

TL;DR in English:


State your name clearly. Communicate your contribution to get the audience excited. Leave extra details on a handout or powerpoint slide. Save some relevant details about yourself for later in the presentation. Plan a smooth transition from the introduction to your content.

It’s not clear whether stress can cause acne, but it can make your acne worse if you already have it! If you’re stressing out, do activities that help you relax and unwind. This may help calm your skin and make your breakouts less severe. Try activities such as:  Yoga Meditation Going for walks outside Listening to peaceful music Working on hobbies or creative projects Spending time with family, friends, or pets Although the connection between sleep and acne is not entirely clear, most doctors agree that lack of sleep can stress you out and make it harder for your body to fight infections. This will make your acne worse and is bad for your skin overall. Commit to getting about 8 hours of sleep a night to give your skin a healthy boost.  If you’re a teen, try to get 8-10 hours of sleep each night. Commit to going to bed and waking up at the same time each night so that you get into a healthy sleep routine. If you have trouble sleeping, try establishing a relaxing bedtime ritual, like meditating, reading, or taking a warm shower before bed. Turn off any bright screens at least an hour before bedtime, since the light can make it harder for your brain to get into sleep mode. Some people notice that they have more breakouts after working out. Don’t let this stop you from getting the health benefits of exercise, though! Instead, protect yourself by showering and washing your face with a gentle cleanser after every workout. This will help prevent sweat, oils, and dirt from clogging your pores and irritating your skin.  While you’re exercising, gently pat away sweat with a clean, dry towel. Don’t rub away sweat, since this could irritate your skin. Even if you can’t shower right away, change into clean, dry workout clothes immediately after your workout. This will help prevent breakouts on your body. Put on clean clothes before your workout, too, since dirty clothes can trap bacteria and other skin irritants. If you’re using a gym, wipe down any shared equipment before you use it with a disinfectant wipe. This will...

TL;DR in English: Do stress-reducing activities to prevent acne flareups. Try to get at least 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Wash up after exercising.

If your territories are not well fortified, then they will be vulnerable to attack from your opponents. To keep your territories safe from attack during your opponents' attack phases, move your pieces where you want them before ending your turn. Move your pieces to different territories at the end of your turn. It is in your best interest to move pieces to your border territories that are more vulnerable to attacks by your opponents. There are two rules on how you can move your pieces:   Standard Rule: Move any number of army pieces from a single territory into an adjacent territory occupied by you.  Alternate Rule: You can move pieces anywhere, as long as the starting point and destination can be reached by going through a string of adjacent territories under your control. In order to retain control of the territories that you are moving army pieces from, make sure that you leave at least one of your army pieces on each territory that you own. Otherwise, you will no longer have control of the territory.

TL;DR in English: Understand that you cannot move armies around until your next attacking turn. Fortify your territories. Remember to leave at least one army piece behind.

Every iPod should be packaged with a standard USB cable that allows it to interface with your computer. Connect your iPod to your computer via the USB cable by plugging the square end into a USB port on your computer and plugging the other end into the iPod itself while it is on. If you have iTunes installed already, it should open automatically. If this is the very first time using your iPod, iTunes may prompt you for basic setup information.  If you don't have iTunes yet, you'll need to download and install it before you can sync your iPod. Luckily, it's completely free and easy to install. If you're using Windows, when you plug in the iPod, you may get a pop-up window asking which program to use to open the device. Since we'll be using iTunes, you can select this from the list or just close it and open iTunes manually. To be able to put songs, videos, or other media files on your iPod, you'll need to import your media into iTunes first. You can do this for audio and video files by either dragging a file from where it's located on your computer into the iTunes window, or selecting File>Add File to Library..., then locating the file(s) you wish to import. To be clear, it's also possible to add files to your iPod with other software, including Windows Media Player and Winamp. However, to use iTunes' syncing feature, the files you want to add need to be imported into your iTunes library. Select your iPod from the list of devices — depending on the version of iTunes you have, this will be either in the top corner of the screen or on the side, but it's always prominently featured. You should now see a screen showing your iPod's storage capacity and data settings. Look for the "Music" tab at the top of the window. Click it to access your iPod's syncing options for music. By default, your iPod will sync with all of the music in your iTunes library — that is, when you sync, everything in your iTunes library will go to your iPod. The "Sync only checked songs and videos" option is a nice feature if you want to sync...

TL;DR in English: Connect your iPod to your computer. If necessary, import any files you want to add. Open your iPod in iTunes. Click "Music" to access your music syncing options. Click "Movies" to access your Video syncing options. Repeat this process for Apps, Photos, and TV shows. Sync your iPod. Wait for the sync to finish before disconnecting.

The SDK starter package, which you've already downloaded, includes only a single component: the latest version of the SDK Tools. To develop an Android application, you also need to download at least one Android platform and the associated platform tools. You can add other components and platforms as well, which is highly recommended. Simply click Install to accept the recommended set of components and install them Type/Copy/Paste: sudo -s  Type/Copy/Paste: cd /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools this will change you into the android sdk tools directory  Type/Copy/Paste: ./android this command will run the Android graphical user interface, in most cases you will have to be root user in order for the Android SDK to download updated components to the opt/android-sdk-linux directory.To download components, use the graphical UI of the Android SDK and AVD Manager to browse the SDK repository and select new or updated components. The Android SDK and AVD Manager installs the selected components in your SDK environment.

TL;DR in English: Adding Platforms and Other Component,in setting up your SDK is using the Android SDK and AVD Manager (a tool included in the SDK starter package) to download essential SDK components into your development environment. Open Eclipse and click Window->Android SDK and AVD Manager->Installed packages and click update all. On Linux, open a terminal and navigate to the /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools directory in the Android SDK.

You want the audience to remember who you are, so don’t mumble or rush through saying your name. Speak loudly and confidently, and make sure you enunciate every syllable. If you have an unusual or difficult to pronounce name, you may want to add a small remark to help your audience remember it. For example, you can say “My name is Jacob Misen, like ‘risen’ but with an M” Think about how you will help your audience and briefly communicate that rather than just listing your credentials or job title. Your basic credentials will probably be listed on the presentation program, anyway. Ask yourself what special skills and experience you have that would interest your audience and introduce yourself with those. If you are VP of Marketing at a large company, it can actually be much more effective to say something like “I have more than a decade of experience using Facebook marketing ads to target clients in the dance industry” rather than simply stating your job title. If there are other details about yourself that are interesting and relevant to the presentation, you don’t have to list them all in your introduction. Instead, add them to your handout or powerpoint presentation. Your audience can read them there if they want. You can also specifically refer your audience to the handout or powerpoint for more information. For example, if you want to let them know that you have articles in many international newspapers but you don’t want to list them all out, simply say “I’ve written for a number of internationally recognized news organizations. You can find the full list on the first page of my handout.” You don’t have to give the audience everything about yourself right away. Stick to the most interesting and relevant information. If you have other interesting personal details you want to share, you can add them in other parts of the presentation. For example, you could say “when I designed a website for Richard Branson last year …” to inform your audience that you have an impressive resume, without having to list it...
