Water your soil in the morning. Water your soil manually 2-3 times a week. Use sprinklers instead of watering by hand. Use a drip irrigation system for more consistent moisture.

Fill a small saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, and place a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the surface of the water. Stir the beeswax and coconut oil as they melt. This will not only blend them together, but also help them melt faster.  If you want a more firm lip balm, use more beeswax and less coconut oil. If you want a softer lip balm, use less beeswax and more coconut oil. Pierce each capsule with a pin or needle, then squeeze the oil into the beeswax mixture. If you can't find any vitamin E oil capsules, you can use the kind that comes in a bottle. You will need ¼ teaspoon of vitamin E oil total. Keep stirring until everything is evenly combined. The honey will make the lip balm extra-moisturizing, while the cinnamon will make it plumping. If you can't find any empty lip balm containers, you can buy small, empty jars meant for storing beads or excess paint from the arts and crafts store. You can also use a clean contact lens case. Work quickly; the mixture will start to harden in 5 to 10 minutes. It will take about 5 to 10 minutes for the lip balm to start to harden. It may take 15 to 20 minutes for it to finish hardening. If it is taking too long for the lip balm to harden, stick it into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.

TL;DR in English: Assemble a double boiler. Melt 4 tablespoons (55 grams) of coconut oil and 1 ½ tablespoons of beeswax pellets in the double boiler over low heat. Take the bowl off the saucepan, and add 2 to 3 capsules of vitamin E oil into the beeswax mixture. Stir in ¾ tablespoon of honey and 15 drops of cinnamon essential oil. Pour the melted mixture into clean, empty lip balm containers. Wait for the lip balm to harden before screwing the containers shut.

Pottermore is a digital publishing, entertainment, and news company maintained by J.K. Rowling herself. It features news articles and tons of information about various Harry Potter characters, creatures, magical spells, and the wizarding world in general. It’s an excellent resource for anyone wanting to learn more about the Harry Potter universe.  In 2014, J.K. Rowling created a Quidditch World Cup page where fans can follow news articles and reports detailing the fictional sporting event. She even included audio reports and detailed history of the Quidditch world cup for anyone wanting to truly immerse themselves in the event. One of the most exciting parts of the Harry Potter series is the Sorting Ceremony, where First Year students are placed into one of four Hogwarts houses. They will be identified by this house throughout the rest of their stay at Hogwarts. Once you sign up for an account on Pottermore, you can take a quiz to figure out which Hogwarts house you belong in. The four Hogwarts houses are:  Gryffindor, which is associated with courage, bravery, and determination. Its crest is a lion.  Hufflepuff, which is associated with patience, loyalty, and hard work. Its crest is a badger.  Ravenclaw, which is associated with wit, intelligence, and wisdom. Its crest is a raven.  Slytherin, which is associated with pride, ambition, and cunning. Its crest is a serpent.  J.K. Rowling recently announced the name of the North American school of wizardry, Ilvermorny, and its four associated houses: Thunderbird (for warriors), Horned Serpent (for scholars), Pukwudgie (for healers), and Wampus (also for warriors). Pottermore now has a quiz to sort you into your Ilvermorny house as well. Pottermore offers a quiz that you can take to determine the shape of your Patronus. It’s possible for a person’s Patronus to change over time, so if you don’t like your result, take it again! You can take it as many times as you’d like.

While it doesn’t directly treat rosacea, aloe vera extract soothes the skin and reduces some of the inflammation from rosacea outbreaks. Feverfew is a natural anti-inflammatory like aloe. It can reduce redness and also stop the itching and burning from rosacea. Many skincare products include chamomile as a soothing agent. They may not be as effective as aloe or feverfew, but chamomile products show some success in reducing rosacea symptoms. While not exactly an herbal remedy, this is still a natural treatment that helps the itching and inflammation from rosacea. Get some finely-ground oatmeal, soak it in water, rub it on your face, and then wash it off after 15 minutes.

TL;DR in English: Apply aloe vera to moisturize your skin. Use feverfew cream to treat redness and swelling. Get products with chamomile extract. Try a colloidal oatmeal mask to fight inflammation.

Mint plants needs a lot of width to grow effectively, but they don’t need a great deal of depth. For each mint plant, look for a container at least 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) wide.  Ceramic planters are porous and lose moisture easily. Your mint might be happier in a plastic container. You can repurpose a plastic container by drilling a hole in the bottom for drainage. You can pick up some potting soil from a local nursery, home improvement store, or big box store. Mint plants enjoy soil that drains well, so don’t pack the soil too tight. Mint plants are not super finicky, so they will accept a relatively wide pH range. Use a test kit to make sure your soil falls within this optimal range.  To lower the pH of your soil, add some compost, composted manure, or acidic mulch. To raise the pH of your soil, add pelletized lime or wood ash. Using a small trowel and/or your fingers, make a small opening in the soil. Carefully place your mint seedling into this opening. Move the soil around your seedling so that the roots are no longer exposed, and your seedling can stand up. Indoor mint plants do not require fertilizer or mulch. Once you've gotten your mint plant in the soil, give your seedling a generous watering. For one mint plant, offer around 6–8 fluid ounces (180–240 ml) of water.

TL;DR in English: Find a container with a wide surface. Fill your container with potting soil. Test your soil for a pH of 6-7.5. Place your mint seedling in the container. Water your seedling immediately after planting.

Watering your soil when the sun is out will cause it to evaporate quicker, which is why watering it in the morning is better. If you are trying to boost water retention, water it first thing in the morning. Watering your soil in the morning also prevents plants from catching diseases. On average, your soil should get 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of water each week. If your soil is drying out, water it with a garden hose or watering can. Press your finger 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) into the surface of the soil. If it feels dry under the surface, you know you need to water it more.  Your soil should feel moist by the touch but shouldn’t be overly saturated. If your soil is muddy, you know you’re overwatering it. Use a gardening hose on larger lawns. Keep in mind that certain plants will need more or less watering. Research the water needs of the plants you have to make sure you're not giving them too much or too little water. A programmed sprinkler system will enable you to water your soil on a regular schedule. This is especially useful if you aren’t around to water the soil yourself. Program your sprinkler system to provide the appropriate amount of water to your soil.  If you notice the sprinklers are oversaturating the soil, reduce how long they stay on or install a water sensor that will automatically turn them off once your soil reaches a certain saturation level. Sprinklers are inefficient when it's over 90 °F (32 °C) out because the water often evaporates before it is absorbed into the soil. A drip irrigation system is made up of a system of tubes connected to a water source. This method is typically more effective than using a sprinkler system because the water is delivered directly to the soil. Hire a professional to install the system or purchase a drip irrigation kit and put it together yourself.

Warm the weak, newborn puppy. Take the puppy's temperature. Help the puppy nurse. Increase the weak puppy's blood sugar. Supplement the puppy's milk supply. Feed the puppy on a regular basis. Stimulate the puppy's need to go to the bathroom. Take the puppy to a veterinarian.

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.

If you're merely trying to install a new version of Windows on your existing computer, skip this step. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on the computer. Click Start, click Power, and click Restart. Your computer will begin to restart. If the computer is off, press its power button to turn it on, then move to the next step. If the computer turns on when you open its lid or move the mouse, you'll still need to restart it before proceeding. As soon as the computer's startup screen appears (the screen right after the computer shuts down and is beginning to restart), begin pressing the BIOS key. Your computer's BIOS key will vary depending on the manufacturer, but it will usually be one of the function keys (e.g., F2), Esc, or Del.  You can check your computer's BIOS key online or in the manual that came with your computer. Many computers will flash a "Press [key] to enter setup" (or similar) message at the bottom of the screen as your computer is starting up. This is the key that you should press. If you miss your opportunity and the computer finishes the restart cycle, you'll need to restart it and try again. This section is usually in the Advanced or Advanced Options tab, but each BIOS menu is different. The "Boot Order" section will have a list of different startup locations, including your hard drive's name and your CD drive. Using the arrow keys, move the highlight bar down until it's covering the flash drive's name. On some computers, you'll instead select Removable Storage or Removable Drives (or something similarly titled). You'll usually do this by pressing the + key until the flash drive is at the top, but check the legend at the bottom or on the side of the BIOS screen to see if your controls are different. There's usually a key that you can press to do this, so check the legend to see what it is and then press it. You may have to press another key to confirm this decision. If your computer doesn't greet you with a "Press any key" screen and instead finishes the restart cycle, restart it...

TL;DR in English: Go to the computer on which you want to install Windows. Plug in your USB flash drive. Prompt the computer to restart. Rapidly press the computer's BIOS key. Find the "Boot Order" section. Select your flash drive's name. Move the flash drive to the top of the list. Save your changes and exit the BIOS. Restart your computer again if necessary.

This style of dress has a bodice and a gathered skirt. Choose a fitted T-shirt that fits you well without stretching too much. Next, choose a material for the skirt. You can use matching cotton fabric, jersey fabric, or a large, baggy T-shirt. The colors and patterns can match, or they can be different. For an interesting look, try a solid-colored shirt with pattered cotton for the skirt. Turn your shirt inside out and put it on. Decide where you want the bodice part of the dress to end and the skirt to begin. This is typically just below the bust or right at the waist. Make a mark using a pin or a dress maker's chalk or pen. Pull the shirt off when you are done. Use chalk for dark colored fabric and pen for light colored fabric. If you need to, use a ruler and a dress maker's chalk or pen to draw a line across your shirt. Cut through both layers of fabric ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) below that line. This will be your seam allowance. Use a measuring tape to measure down from where you want the bodice to end and the skirt to begin. Add ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) for the top seam and 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) for the bottom hem. The skirt part can be as long or as short as you'd like. It needs to be the same length you want it to be, plus the additional 1½ inch (3.81 centimeters), and at least four times wider than the width of your shirt. The wider the fabric is, the fuller the skirt will be! Fold the skirt material in half with the right sides facing in. It should still be the same length you want it to be. Sew it along the edge using a ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) seam allowance and a straight stitch. If you are using stretchy fabric for the skirt, use a narrow zigzag stitch instead. The first row should be ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) away from the top edge, and the second row should be ¾ inch (1.91 centimeters) away from the top edge. You can make a basting stitch by using a long stitch length and a low/loose stitch tension. You will eventually be pulling these threads out, so the color does not matter. In fact, a...

TL;DR in English: Choose your shirt and skirt material. Make a mark on the shirt where you want the bodice to end. Cut across the shirt, ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) below the mark. Decide how long you want the skirt to be. Cut the fabric. Sew the side edges to make a tube. Sew two rows of basting stitches across the top of your fabric. Pull on the bobbin threads to gather them. Pin the shirt to the skirt. Sew the shirt to the skirt. Measure and cut your elastic. Sew the elastic into the hem. Finish sewing the elastic. Pull out the gathering threads. Fold and press the bottom edge of the dress twice to make the hem. Sew the hem. Turn the dress inside out.

Exercise improves your overall health, so naturally, regular cardiovascular/aerobic exercise can also help improve your liver health and ALT levels.  Studies suggest that staying active for a minimum of 150 minutes per week can improve liver enzymes like ALT in the average adult.  Exercise can help you shed excess weight and limit the amount of fat entering your liver. It can also encourage sweat, which is part of your body's natural detoxification defenses. Even just walking for 30 minutes a day can help. You can break this up into 2 sessions of 15 minutes each. Obesity can cause fat to infiltrate the liver cells, and when this happens, your liver can become inflamed. The best way to lose weight is to do it gradually through a healthy diet and regular exercise. Losing weight too quickly through crash diets and radical procedures can put stress on your body and its organs, ultimately causing more problems than you started with. Chemical additives found in cigarettes often contain toxins that damage your liver cells when your liver attempts to filter them. Quit smoking the strengthen your liver and improve your ALT levels. Similarly, you should also avoid second-hand smoke, since you can breathe most of these harmful toxins in and face the same danger. Many household chemicals also contain toxins that can damage the liver, so limiting your exposure to these chemicals can improve your liver health and your ALT levels.  These toxins can be found in many cleaning products, aerosol products, and insecticides. Swap out chemical household products for natural products. When possible, use natural alternatives already available in your home, like using vinegar to whiten your clothes instead of bleach. There are also commercial products labeled as "natural" that may be worth checking into. If you must use these chemicals to clean, wear rubber or nitrile gloves as you do so to protect your skin. A small air purifier can help filter out air pollution in your home. By filtering toxins out of the air you breathe, you limit...

TL;DR in English: Exercise regularly. Lose weight, if necessary. Quit smoking, if applicable. Avoid chemical toxins in your environment. Invest in an air purifier.

If you’ve determined a puppy in the litter needs special care, the first move is to make sure it is warm enough. A cold puppy is not able to nurse and can become dangerously dehydrated and hypoglycemic, which means having life-threatening low blood sugar.  Warming can be accomplished by using a hot water bottle filled with very warm water, 'not' boiling water, placed in the bottom of a small cardboard box or shoe box and covering it with a towel. The puppy can then be placed on the towel, covered with a light cloth or towel and the top of the box can be lightly closed. Alternatively, you can place the puppy on your chest under your clothing until it warms up. You may want to wrap the rear end in a clean piece of cloth so you're not urinated or pooped on! Puppy's tiny claws will be sharp as well, so be prepared for a few scratches. Using a heating pad is dangerous, as they can overheat a puppy. Even on the lowest setting, a heating pad can become dangerously hot. You want to gradually warm the puppy over a course of one to three hours. Warming any more rapidly can cause overheating. There are heating pads made specifically for animals, and these usually don't get as hot. The puppy must not be placed directly on this pad — you must use a towel or fleecy cover between the pad and the puppy in order to avoid thermal burns. If the puppy is open-mouth panting, she is too hot. After you think the puppy is warmed you should use a pediatric digital thermometer to take the puppy’s temperature rectally. Place a small amount of lubricant on the tip and gently insert the very tip into the pup’s rectum.  If the body temperature is below 94 °F (34.4 °C) the gastrointestinal tract will not work properly. However, don’t let the rectal temperature get over 99 °F (37.2 °C) in a puppy less than seven days or overheating can occur. Write the temperature in the same notebook or spreadsheet in which you are recording the weight. Once the puppy is warmed and active, it is time to feed it. Try to see if the mother dog will let the...

This warm dandelion salad is dressed with a roasted garlic dressing and served with toasted nuts. Preheat the oven to 400 F (204 C). To roast the garlic:  Peel off the outer layer of skin from a head of garlic, leaving all the cloves intact. With a good knife, cut the tips off the head of the cloves to expose the garlic underneath. Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle the whole head with a tablespoon (15 ml) of oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil, place it on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish and bake for 35 to 55 minutes. When the garlic is done, the cloves inside will be golden and caramelized. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before popping the cloves out of the skins. Preheat your oven to 350 F (177 C). Spread the nuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for five to 10 minutes (five minutes for pine nuts, 10 minutes for almonds), flipping or stirring halfway through. Place all the cloves from the head of roasted garlic into a food processor or blender. Blend it until smooth, along with the oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the dressing and warm it for about two minutes. Add the shallot and cook for another three to five minutes, until it’s soft. Arrange the dandelion greens in a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Toss the salad until the greens are coated. Toss in the toasted nuts, season with pepper, and serve.  You can also make this salad with a variety of greens, such as spinach, arugula, endive, cabbage, frisée, kale and radicchio.  When you add the nuts at the end, you can also sprinkle in a small handful of currants for an additional texture and flavor.  If you picked your own dandelion greens from the garden for this salad, pick the flowers as well and use them to garnish the salad, as they are also edible.

TL;DR in English: Roast the garlic. Toast the nuts. Prepare the dressing. Warm the greens. Serve the salad.

Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil in a heavy pan. Using tongs, place the veal in the oil. Sear it for 1–2 minutes until it is browned, turning it halfway through. Remove the pan from heat. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of broth or water to the pan. Cover it with a lid or aluminum foil. Cook for the veal in the oven for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the size of your veal cut. Avoid overcooking the meat by checking its temperature at the 1.5 hour mark, and every 15–20 minutes after. Insert a digital meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat to get an accurate reading.

TL;DR in English: Sear the veal in a heavy pan to brown it. Add liquid to the pan and cover it. Cook the veal at 325 °F (163 °C). Finished.

Tell your friend how important they are to you, and that you miss them. While it may be tempting to get this talk over with as soon as possible, cutting corners could work against you. This is the opportunity to wear your heart on your sleeve. Again, avoid one-liners like, "Let's bury the hatchet" - such contrived phrases might put your friend on guard. Again, it's best if you approach the conversation without preconceived notions of how they're feeling or what they're going to say. Keep an open mind, and give them as long as they need to say whatever it is they need to.  They may need a cue from you, like "I'm sure I made you feel pretty awful," or "I'd love to be friends again. Do you think that's possible?"  Listen without interrupting, even if what they say triggers certain responses in you. You may have been ready to talk things through, but perhaps your friend wasn't quite. Both of you might need time to process what the other has said. You've made a big, important step initiating this talk - now step back a bit so your friend can consider.  This is especially important to keep in mind if you don't receive a positive response at first. In a few weeks or months, your friend may still come around.  It may be difficult to take a step back from your friendship, but it may be necessary for your friendship to heal.

TL;DR in English: Tap into sincerity. Listen to your friend's side. Give your friend time to think it over.

Frustration and overstimulation can lead to self-injurious behavior (SIB). This behavior can be very scary for parents, but you should know that it is common and preventable.   Make a doctor appointment. Sometimes SIB is related to pain. For example, a child who hits their own head may be experiencing pain from a toothache or lice. Solving the medical problem may make the SIB disappear. Researchers also believe that biochemicals play a role. During self-injury, endorphins are released, which inhibit the individual from feeling much pain while making them feel happier. Some parents have noticed that switching to a gluten-free diet helps, as does increasing the intake of vitamin B6 and calcium.  Some of the best sources of vitamin B6 include sunflower seeds, pistachio nuts, fish, poultry, pork, beef, prunes, raisins, bananas, avocados, and spinach. Some of the best sources of calcium include milk, cheese, yogurt, spinach, kale, okra, collards, soybeans, white beans, and calcium-fortified juices and cereals. Always consult a doctor before altering a child's diet. . Some autistic individuals rub their skin excessively to receive stimulation or do some other potentially injurious behavior and wind up hurting themselves. Intervene by encouraging safer forms of stimulation. Massage can work, as can rubbing the skin lightly with a brush, or wearing a thin layer of clothing over the skin (e.g. sweatpants) to prevent damage while scratching.  Say something like "You're hurting your legs. Could you massage them instead of hitting them?" Remember that many autistic people don't like the idea of hurting themselves. Work with your child to find alternative ways to stim. For example, hitting one's head could be replaced by rapidly shaking the head. Search the internet to see what substitutes autistic adults have found for their SIB. Be consistent. Autistic children need to know that self-harm is not appropriate or allowed, that you will always be there to help them handle it. Work with other caregivers and teachers so that...

TL;DR in English: Know that self-injury is common among autistic people. Experiment with nutritional intervention. Encourage safe forms of stimulation Deal with sources of frustration.

Your financial time horizon is a set date, usually months, years or even decades in the future, at which time you will achieve your financial goal. A common time horizon is a retirement date. If you have a longer time horizon, you may feel more comfortable taking on riskier financial decisions. If your time horizon is relatively short, you may need to minimize risk.  An example of a shorter time horizon would be a teenager saving for his college education, or someone in their 50s planning for retirement. Long-term investors should be willing (and able) to "ride out" the low points of financial return, i.e., periods when their assets have lost value. Holding an asset longer doesn't necessarily result in increased value. Your risk tolerance is based on your ability — financial as well as emotional — to lose much of your original investment in exchange for greater potential returns.  Your risk tolerance will change over the course of your lifetime, though your temperament may not. Someone with a higher risk tolerance may take on more aggressive (and risky) investments, while someone with a lower risk threshold will be happier with a less risky investment, even if it results in lower returns. Think of your risk tolerance level in terms of sleep — anything that  causes you to worry and lose sleep at night should be avoided. If there's an investment that keeps you up at night worrying, then you've taken a bigger risk than you're currently prepared to take. If your time horizon changes, or your life circumstances alter your risk tolerance level, you may wish to change the manner in which you allocate your assets. This is known as "rebalancing" and it occurs when your investments are no longer in line with your investment goals. Many investors choose to readjust their investments on an annual or semi-annual basis.  Rebalancing may trigger transaction fees or tax consequences. Avoid changing your asset allocation based on performance. Remember that if a given asset isn't doing well, it will likely increase in value in...

You'll find these listed below under "Things You'll Need". In selecting a container, choose one that will look pretty or relevant to your Easter display. You might use a hollow rabbit shaped container, or a plain container that can be decorated in Easter patterns and colors. Or, choose one such as a plastic berry container that can be placed easily into the base of an Easter basket rather than going on display. If you want to be able to grow the grass direct in an Easter basket, line the basket with something waterproof such as plastic wrap, a plastic bag or cellophane. This will prevent the water from leaching into the basket and the soil from going everywhere.    Pour in enough water to wet and mix through.  You will probably need a lot more than you'd need for an eggshell container, depending on the size of the container chosen. Again, the reason for packing in the seeds is to ensure luxuriant growth.  Keep an eye on the need for additional water; use a spray bottle. The sprouts should shoot up within a few days, sometimes even in a day. The wheat or grass will grown to a good length within 4 to 5 days. If using in an Easter basket, it's a good idea to place something like wax paper or a waterproof sheet like the ones found in some Styrofoam meat trays, to protect the base of the basket from any wetness seeping out.

TL;DR in English: Assemble the supplies needed. Pour the potting soil or soil into a large bowl or bucket. Fill the container three quarters of the way full with the wet soil. Place a layer of wheat or grass seeds across the container, packed in tightly so that you can't see the soil underneath. Cover lightly with some more soil and pat into place. Place in a warm, sunny position, such as the windowsill. Keep trimmed as needed. Use in displays or Easter baskets.

You'll need to do this in the Layers panel. It is typically on the right side.  Most images that haven’t been edited before will only have one layer called "Background”.  You'll need to convert it to a standard layer in the Layers panel so that you can edit it.  The Layers panel is usually on the right side.  If you don't see if, click Windows followed by Layers.  Use the following steps to create a layer from the background:  Navigate to the Layers window. Right-click the Background layer. Select Layer From Background…. Leave the options at their presets and press OK. To select the Magic Eraser, click the Eraser in the toolbar to the left, then click the Magic Eraser icon at the bottom of the screen. Once you select the Magic Eraser, you will see some settings in the top menu bar in the upper-left corner. Set the following settings:  Set Tolerance to 20-30. A low tolerance will keep parts of your original image from being erased when you use the tool. If the Magic Eraser erases too much of your subject, lower the tolerance.  If it doesn't erase enough of the background, increase the tolerance.  Use the following steps to adjust the Magic Eraser settings. Check the Anti-alias box. Check the Contiguous box. Set Opacity to 100% The Magic Eraser will remove all of the color that you clicked on, turning it into the transparent background.  If the Magic Eraser erases something you don't want to erase, you can press Ctrl + Z or Command + Z to undo the last thing you did.  You can undo several steps using the History panel to the right.  If you don't see the History panel, click Windows in the menu bar at the top and select History. If the background is one solid color, you can probably erase the entire background with one click.  If it has multiple colors, you may have to click different areas of the background to delete all of it.  If there are any parts of the background around the edges of your subject, you can use the regular eraser tool to carefully erases the remaining edges using single clicks.  Click circle...

When transplanting it, align this ribbon to the same direction as its previous location. This is called "sun orientation", and is important to observe because it eases the sapling's adaptation as it adjusts to the new location. For example, tie a colored ribbon to north side of the tree, and plant with this ribbon facing north. This will ensure that the soil is moist when you need to dig up the plant. Just be sure not to overwater, as too much water can hinder growth. Consistently watering for several days before you transfer the plant will help the soil stay clumped to the plant's root ball. The root ball of your selected sapling should be between 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) for each 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the trunk's diameter at chest height. For example, if your tree has a trunk diameter of 1 inch (2.5 cm), the diameter of the root ball should be 16 to 24 inches (41 to 61 cm). You can also measure the root ball after digging it out for better accuracy. However, estimating will give you a good idea of how to dig around the ball to minimize damage to the tree's roots. Use a round-point shovel to cut a circle around the root system of the sapling. Cut into the soil as deep as you can so that you preserve the roots intact, and always make sure that the root ball does not break.  If the ground is firm enough and has moisture, you can cut around and down below the main root mass and remove it intact without disturbing  the roots. Limit yourself to trees with a trunk diameter of 2 inches (5.1 cm) or less. Anything bigger should be transplanted by an experienced contractor. Moving the tree to its new hole is much easier (and less messy) when it's wrapped in a plastic or cloth. For soil that is loose and sandy, it's a necessity. Purchase plastic or a tarp from local home hardware or garden stores. If you can pull the tree up with most of the roots still in soil, you can carry it a short distance to replant it. Walk slowly and handle it gently to avoid shaking, jarring, or other action to the root ball. This will...

TL;DR in English: Tag the direction the sapling is facing with a ribbon prior to removal. Water the area of the young tree 3 to 4 days prior to transplanting. Estimate the radius of the root ball. Dig up the sapling 12 inches (30 cm) from the base of the tree. Place a plastic or burlap cloth on the ground beside the tree. Grab the sapling from the bottom and lift it out of the hole. Roll your root ball onto plastic or burlap fabric for far transfers.

Work on enhancing and enriching your natural hair color instead of introducing an entirely new color. For example, dark brunettes should keep their rich tones and warm blondes should stick to golden tones. These tones compliment your skin’s complexion, helping you look younger and more natural.  Making a drastic hair color change tends to be aging. A drastic color change can end up looking brassy, as well. Warm tones can brighten up your complexion and help you look more youthful. The warmer the shade, the more youthful it tends to appear. If you are blonde, avoid icy and ashy tones. Opt for warm, golden shades of blonde. Brunettes should stick to caramel and honey tones. Avoid ash brown shades. If you’re a redhead, opt for copper tones and avoid burgundy. Cool tones can appear "frosty" and make you look older. Very dark hair colors can wash out your complexion. They can also make your hair look one-dimensional and flat, and the opaqueness will emphasize greys and regrowth. If you’re determined to have dark hair, go for a medium or dark chestnut brown. If you’re unsure which shade you should choose, go one shade lighter than the color you want. It’s better to err on the side of lighter color rather than going too dark.  When coloring your hair at home, don't leave the dye on too long. If you’re getting a professional dye job, ask for a single-process color close to your natural shade and subtle highlights one shade lighter than your natural shade. Very light blonde dyes can make your hair look nearly gray, especially if they are cool-toned ashy shades. They can also make your complexion look dull and washed out. Stick to warm, buttery blonde shades, which tend to look the most youthful. Don’t go more than two shades lighter than your natural hair color.  Anything beyond that can have a very aging effect. Make sure there’s some contrast between your skin tone and hair color. For example, if you’re very pale, avoid dyeing your hair a similarly pale shade. Avoid experimenting with extreme colors like bright...

TL;DR in English: Stay close to your natural shade. Skip cool tones. Avoid going too dark. Avoid going too light. Stick to natural hair colors.

Sales tax permits are required from your local and state government revenue agencies. A food handler's permit is necessary if you're planning on selling food products, which means you'll have to take the food handler's test, usually available online. A business license from the city or county clerk's office is required.  Additional location-specific vendor permits may be required. Check with both the city clerk's office and with any organizers you might be working with, including the farmers' market or festival organizers you may be working with. Obviously selling illegal drugs is...well, illegal, but what about selling pickles at a music festival? What about selling your chicken eggs in used cartons? Hidden regulations govern all sorts of food items, so you need to be very careful about checking for your state's laws. Washington state, for instance, does not allow eggs to be sold in used containers, but Idaho does. Pets are commonly sold, but you need to make sure they're registered and legal animals. No selling endangered turtles or reptiles, for instance. Copyrighted material including movies and music can get you into Federal trouble if you're selling it. Don't sell any pirated music or movies unless it was created by you or you have the express permission of the creator to sell it.

TL;DR in English:


Use a phone to connect to your computer. If your phone has Bluetooth, turn it on and have your phone and your computer pair up. If this is your first time to link the two devices, you will be asked for a passcode that you would need to enter in both devices.

Connect with a data cable. Connect via Bluetooth.

Some states also require that bartenders take alcohol awareness classes prior to beginning work. Check with your city/state to clarify the specific requirements. Alcohol awareness classes cover DUIs, fake IDs, Blood Alcohol Levels (BAL), serving alcohol to minors, preventing intoxication, and other related issues. Each bartending school is different, but most classes will teach you how to prepare hundreds of different kinds of cocktails, deal with intoxicated patrons, prepare garnishes, pour liquor, and differentiate between different types of beer and wine. However, going through bartending school is not a requirement in all states and countries, so you might be able to skip this entirely. Keep in mind that bartending school is not a substitute for on the job experience. You will still need to pay your dues and work in a supporting role to land a job as a bartender.

TL;DR in English: Take any required courses. Complete bartending school if needed.

Approach your parents during your chosen time to talk and tell them directly you want to talk. It's normal to be nervous, but take a few deep breaths and launch directly into the conversation. For example, say something like, "Guys, do you have a minute? I wanted to ask you something." It's best to get directly to the point instead of beating around the bush. Maturely tell them you want to get a rabbit and that you've done your research on the subject. For example, say something like, "I really want to get a pet rabbit. I've been reading a lot online, so I know all about taking care of one. I think I could do this by myself and it wouldn't create extra work for you." Remember, you want to show your parents you're mature. If you come off as demanding, they may get frustrated. Use basic manners and show some gratitude when asking.  For example, "I know how hard you work and I really appreciate that. I know taking on another pet is a big responsibility." Basic manners can also go a long way. For example, "Could you please think about it? Thanks!" When your parents respond to your question, do not interrupt. Listen to what they're saying and try to understand their concerns. The better you understand why they're saying "No," the better you can address it.

TL;DR in English: Ask your parents to talk. Introduce the subject directly. Use your manners when asking. Listen to your parents' perspective.

If the Kool Aid stain is on your hands, you should wash your hands. Do so like you would normally wash your hands, but use the stain remover you chose instead of hand soap.  Run your hands under clean water. Let your hands get wet before turning off the tap. Be careful, however, as the Kool Aid may drip when wet and you don't want to stain your sink. It might be a good idea to lay a washable cloth towel or paper towel down on the sink while you wash your hands. Lather your hands with the strain remover. Once your hands are wet, apply whatever stain removal method you chose and lather your hands. Make sure you get between your fingers and the back of your hands. Lather your hands for about 20 seconds. It can help to hum the "Happy Birthday" song twice to keep track.  Rinse your hands thoroughly and pat dry. Oftentimes, Kool Aid gets stained on the upper lip. This is sometimes referred to as a "Kool Aid mustache" and is fairly easy to remove.  Add a small amount of the stain remover to a damp washcloth. If you're using something more acidic, like vinegar or lemon juice, you only need to add a few drops as any more could irritate your skin.  Gently dab your upper lip with the washcloth until the Kool Aid comes off.  Rinse off your upper lip with cool water and then pat dry. Oftentimes, people use Kool Aid to dye their hair and end up staining their hairline. If this is the case with you, you can mix in your chosen stain remover with your regular shampoo and take a shower. Be careful to rinse your hair thoroughly, especially if you used something like toothpaste which can be hard to get out of hair. You might want to do one wash using the stain remover along with your shampoo and then another wash with plain shampoo.

TL;DR in English: Wash your hands. Remove stains from the upper lip. Remove stains from the hairline.

Make sure the pencil eraser has never been used before. Place the eraser on the scuff mark on your shoe and gently rub it back and forth until the scuff is gone. If your leather shoes are black, use a black felt-tip marker. If your leather shoes are brown or another color, find a felt-tip marker that matches. Place the tip of the marker on the scratch and carefully color it in so you don’t get marker on the rest of your shoe. Dip the end of a cotton swab in petroleum jelly. Gently rub the petroleum jelly into the scuff on your shoe until it fades away. Dip the corner of a wet rag into a bowl of white vinegar. Rub the soaked rag onto the salt stains on your shoes until they’re gone.

TL;DR in English: Use a pencil eraser to remove scuffs on your suede shoes. Fill in small scratches on your leather shoes with a felt-tip marker. Remove scuffs on your patent-leather shoes with petroleum jelly. Use white vinegar to remove salt stains on your leather shoes.

Use a vacuum for a quick way to catch flies in a room. Set out a dish soap trap if you need to lure out flies. Create a funnel trap to prevent smaller flies from escaping. Hang flypaper if you need to prevent flies from landing. Install a fly zapper for a reusable trap that kills flies.

A store bought card can be nice, but your partner will appreciate the effort that went into a homemade card. You can stop by your local craft store and get some construction paper, decorations, and fancy markers or pencils. Then, you can assemble a nice, personalized card. Make sure to include a heartfelt message inside the card. If you don't feel confident in your crafting abilities, you can order custom made cards online. You can also buy a blank card at a local gift shop and write your message inside. If you like baking, your significant other will appreciate a homemade baked good. Bake their favorite type of pastry and send it in a care package. This can be particularly helpful for a birthday. You can send your partner a homemade birthday cake or birthday cupcakes, for example. Keep in mind, homemade baked goods may not last long. You may have to get expedited shipping. If your partner lives overseas, sending baked goods may not be the best option. You can stop by a local craft store to seek inspiration. Even if you're not particularly artsy, something as simple as a collage of photos of the two of you will be much appreciated.  If you knit, try knitting a scarf or hat. If you love to draw or paint, make them a picture. You can, for example, paint a picture of the coffee shop where you first met. Sewing projects can be fun. You can try to sew a small stuffed toy of your significant other's favorite animal, for example. Smell is strongly linked to memory. Sending your partner something around the house that has your distinct smell can help them savor memories of you.  If there's a particular brand of shampoo, laundry detergent, or lotion you use, send a small tube of that. If you have a nightshirt you wear frequently, you could send this as long as you're comfortable giving it up for a while. You could also send one of your pillowcases. There may be certain things that are common where you live, but difficult to find where your significant other lives. Try putting one or two of these items into the care...

TL;DR in English: Include a homemade card. Bake something. Include some crafts. Send something that smells like you. Think of something that is common where you live.

On a male, the front of their heads will have a high, noticeable crown. It will likely look much more prominent and a bit larger than the female angelfish. This feature might be more prominent at maturity, but you may be able to notice it earlier on in the lifespan, as well. This isn’t a sure-fire way to tell the difference between the sexes. In some strains of angelfish, this physical difference might not always be present. Female angelfish might have more rounded bodies than males. Female angelfish are also generally a little smaller than male angelfish. If you want to buy pairs to breed, try buying a few smaller angelfish and a few larger angelfish. Once they’re mature, you’ll more than likely find out you have a few males and a few females. On female angelfish, the line from their dorsal fin to their eyes also tends to be a bit straighter than that of the male’s. Sometimes with female angelfish, you might be able to notice a difference when they swim towards you. The shape of their bellies might be a bit bigger or wider than male angelfish. Try looking into the tank and waiting for each of the fish to swim towards the glass. Observe the shape of their bellies from that angle.

TL;DR in English: Look for a large crowned head on male angelfish. Check for a smaller, more rounded shape on female angelfish. Watch them as they swim towards you.

You'll need two or three people to help you roll the patient onto her back. Wash your hands before rolling and explain to the patient what you're going to do (if she's conscious). The patient should be lying on a blanket or turning sheet with her hands placed across her chest. You should all be holding the blanket or sheet on the side of the patient that's farthest from you. Gradually pull the sheet towards you and over the patient, turning her onto her back. Once the patient is on her back, you can examine the skin. Look for any bruising that might indicate trauma, lacerations or gunshot wounds. Since you should have already examined and cleared the cervical spine, you'll need to press (palpate) each individual vertebrae of the back. Specifically, palpate the thoracic and lumbar spine, feeling each vertebrae for pain that might indicate a fracture.  Don't forget to check any parts of the musculo-skeletal system that you might not have examined earlier. For example, you can ask the patient to grasp your finger with their clutched hand to check for motor control and strength, and then ask the patient to tell you without looking which finger of theirs you are gripping. Palpate down the lengths of the arms and legs as well, all the way to the toes and fingers to feel for possible fractures. You can also do this when you are doing the log roll check of the patient's spine. Once the primary and secondary surveys are complete, perform a TTS. This extensive examination should take place within 24 hours of admitting the patient. Or, do it when the patient is awake and alert enough to participate in the examination. You'll need to get the patient's medical chart that includes all laboratory and radiologic data. This information will be combined with the opinions of consultants in order to make a management and care plan that's specific to the patient.

TL;DR in English: Log roll the patient. Access the patient's back. Move on to a trauma tertiary survey (TTS).

Put on disposable gloves, a face mask, and a paper gown before you care for the sick person. When you leave their room, take off your protective gear and throw it in a plastic trash bag. Don’t reuse your protective clothing because you may accidentally come into contact with the virus. Coronavirus spreads through droplets and can linger on your clothing, so protect yourself as best you can. Coronavirus can linger on commonly-used items like cups, plates, utensils, and towels. Use separate items for each member of the household while someone is sick. Otherwise, you might accidentally spread the infection. Play it safe! When in doubt, wash the item before you use it or get another one. Clothing, bedding, and towels can all hold coronavirus, so it’s important to wash them thoroughly. Set your washing machine on the hottest setting and measure out the recommended amount of detergent for the load size. Then, wash your laundry on the normal or heavy-duty setting, depending on your model. If it’s safe for your fabrics, add a cap full of bleach or color-safe bleach to sanitize the laundry. Since COVID-19 is transmitted when people are in close contact, you’re at a greater risk of infection while you’re sharing a space with a sick person. Ventilating the room may help clear out the air, which can minimize your risk of contracting the virus. Open a window or turn on an air conditioner if you can. Don’t open a window if it’s raining or the temperature is uncomfortably cold or hot.

TL;DR in English: Wear disposable protective gear while providing care if possible. Don’t share household items with the infected person. Wash all laundry on hot to disinfect it. Open a window to ventilate the room if weather permits.

Flies are very hard to catch with a regular flyswatter, but you can easily trap them with a vacuum. Put a hose attachment on your vacuum, point it at a fly, and watch it get sucked up. It's simple to use and stops you from having to run around all day trying to swat these quick pests. If you don't have a good vacuum, you could also get an electrified fly swatter. It is way more effective than a regular one and works outdoors as well. Once you get close to a fly, the electricity stuns it so you can get rid of it. Choose a shallow container with a wide opening, such as a small saucer or glass, so that those nasty flies go straight for the bait. Pour in at least 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of apple cider vinegar, then add about 3 drops of any liquid dish detergent. The soap breaks the surface tension so the flies can't get out once they fall in. The vinegar is the bait, and the apple cider scent attracts plenty of flies. If you don't have apple cider vinegar handy, make sure you have a fruit-flavored dish soap. Replace the vinegar with an equal amount of water. House flies and fruit flies can't resist a sweet treat. After adding at least 1⁄3  c (79 mL) of water into a mason jar or a tall glass, mix in 1 US tsp, or about 4 g, of sugar. Set a plastic funnel on top of the jar. Then, watch as your unwanted house guests crawl in without being able to get out.  Sugary foods and drinks make for great bait if you don't have sugar. Try using honey, wine, or even some decaying fruit. You could also add yeast to help bring in the flies. To make your own funnel, cut a piece of paper into a circle, then cut a wedge out of one side. Fold the cut ends together to create a cone with about a 0.39 in (0.99 cm) bottom opening. Tape the ends together to hold the cone in place. Another way to make a cone is by cutting a soda bottle in half. Put the bait in the bottom portion. Remove the cap from the top portion, turn it upside down, and insert it into the bottom portion. Flypaper comes in strips you hang from exposed areas where flies land,...

Hold a plank position for 5-10 seconds at a time to strengthen your back. Stretch your hip flexors for 15 seconds. Repeat bridges for 1-2 sets of 10 reps to build core strength. Do a set of 10 abdominal crunches to strengthen your core. Hold a child’s pose stretch for 30 seconds to open your hips.

Keep your collard greens in moist soil. It should remain slightly damp, but not soaking wet. Depending on where you live, you may not need to water the plants every day.  If water pools up in the soil, you are watering too much. Give your collard greens 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) of water a week, unless it has rained at least that much in your area. You can keep track of rainfall by setting up a rain gauge in your garden. If you live in a dry area, add mulch to the soil so it retains moisture. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the ground near your plants to stop slugs. Use an insecticide with Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) in it to get rid of caterpillars.  You can find these materials at a garden supply store. Slugs are slimy, soft-bodied creatures that look like snails without shells. They will eat the leaves of collard greens. Caterpillars come in many colors and sizes. The ones that will attack collard greens are likely to be an inch or two long and striped (black, white, and yellow, for instance). You may not see these pests at first, but if you see holes chewed through the leaves of your plants, they are the likely culprit. Collards are fairly hardy plants, but they can still be impacted by a few diseases. Keeping the plants in well-drained soil will prevent clubroot, which can cause plants to wither or not produce leaves. Spots on the leaves indicate a fungus, which can be treated with neem oil, sulfur, or another fungicide. Avoiding planting collards in the same soil in successive years prevents other diseases, including:  Black leg Black rot Yellows Collards actually taste sweeter if they are allowed to frost over before harvesting. Generally, however, collards are ready to harvest anywhere between 40 to 85 days after germination.  For best results, harvest anytime after the first frost has come and gone. You can pick collards when they are frozen in the ground. However, be gentle with the plants because their leaves become brittle when frozen. Cut the whole plant about 4 inches (10 cm) from...

TL;DR in English: Water your plants well. Keep pests off of your plants. Stop diseases from ravaging your collards. Let a light frost cover your plants before harvesting. Clip whole plants or pick individual leaves. Replant collard greens the next year, if necessary.

This works best if you spray the key, or place a straw against the lock and spray through the straw. You may use any of the following:  Commercial deicer Rubbing alcohol PTFE powder lubricant (best for prevention) Warning: avoid WD40, grease lubricant, and silicone lubricant, which can gum up the lock. Graphite is safe in small quantities. Do not combine multiple lubricants. Place a cardboard toilet paper roll or another cylindrical object over the lock to direct the air. Heat the lock by blowing into the roll with your breath or a blow dryer. This may take some time. Only try this if the key is 100% metal and does not contain an electronic chip. Hold the key with thick gloves or tongs, and heat it above a match or lighter. Insert the key into the lock and wait for the ice to thaw.

TL;DR in English: Spray lubricant on the key or lock. Blow warm air into the lock. Heat the key.

When you commit a sin, sit down and take time to think about what happened. Use the time to pray in whatever manner you prefer, and be honest about what happened and why it happened. For instance, you might say something like “Dear Father, I’ve been having a hard time controlling my temper lately, and I lashed out and yelled at a friend today. Truly, I’m worried about disappointing my friends, and I don’t want to hurt them anymore.” It’s important to be honest about the situation and your intentions. As long as you’re honest, you can ask for forgiveness. Once you’ve prayed about your sin, you can ask for forgiveness. Recite a “sinner’s prayer” of your choice, or make up your own to be specific to your situation. Emphasize that you are truly sorry for your actions, and think of ways that you will try harder to act in Jesus’ image. If your friends and family haven’t accepted Jesus as the Son of God, you can pray for their salvation too. Communicate with God about how much you love them, and think about all of the ways they have helped you grow closer to God. Ask for God’s help in showing them the beauty of salvation through the Lord. It’s okay to pray for the salvation of people who have a different religion from you. They don’t have to change their beliefs, but you can still pray for them. If you continue to commit the same sins over and over, try coming up with a way to remove yourself from the situation or avoid it altogether. Talk to your pastor, spiritual guide, or an adult who you trust about the situation. Finally, pray to Jesus to ask for guidance about how to resist temptation in your life. For example, if you tend to take the Lord’s name in vain when you’re mad, try to come up with other ways to verbally express your frustration. If you frequently say “Jesus Christ” or “Oh my God” you could say something like “Goodness Gracious” or “Sheesh!”

TL;DR in English: Confess your sins through prayer to communicate with God. Recite a prayer asking for forgiveness when you sin. Pray for the salvation of non-believers. Make a plan to avoid temptation and sin.

Lift sections of hair from the top of the head so that the tips of the hair protrude from between your forefinger and middle finger. Trim the tips of the hair with the scissors at your desired length.  Continue trimming the hair at the top of the head in sections until you've trimmed it to the same length. If the person has bangs, trim the bangs in sections for a neat and even line. Set the clippers to a long guard length, depending on how long you want the top of the fade, and buzz the entire back and sides. Continue trimming until each part of the hair is a uniform length.  Use a vertical movement to cut the hair starting at the hairline and up towards the top of the client’s head. Work against the grain of the hair to achieve an even cut. Lift the clippers up and outwards slightly at the end of each stroke as you get close to the rounded part of the person’s head to help the cuts fade together smoothly. Switch to the next shortest guard and, beginning in the back, cut the hair in vertical strokes from the neck toward the crown. Stop just below the crown so that the hair on top of the head is left long.  If you were using a #3 guard size, for example, switch to a #2. Blend any uneven lines that you notice by going back over them with the clippers. Start at the nape of the neck and cut in upward strokes toward the back of the head's center. Work your around the head's back and sides, pulling back at the same height for an even finish.  Pull back with your clippers to blend the nape's short hair with the back's long hair. Shave the hair from the nape and below to create a clean, neat edge.

TL;DR in English: Trim the top with styling scissors. Trim the entire sides and back with a long guard size. Cut the back of the head with the next shortest guard. Buzz the nape with the shortest guard setting.

Start lying down on your stomach, and prop your body up on your forearms and toes. Make sure that your feet are parallel to each other. Raise your hips and keep your head and neck straight so that you create a straight line from head to toe. Hold this pose for 5-10 seconds, and repeat the exercise 8-10 times.  If you struggle with your plank initially, gently touch your knees to the ground. Keep your core engaged. Use your knees to stabilize you, but not to hold your weight. Planks help strengthen your core and lower back, the muscles responsible for keeping your back straight. Start in a standing position with a straight spine and your arms sitting gently on your hips. Step one foot forward, bending at the knee and keeping both feet pointing forward. Keep your back leg straight and your buttock tucked. Push forward on your front leg until you feel a stretch in your back leg.  Hold the stretch for 15 seconds on each leg. Repeat the stretch 3-5 times a day, or whenever your hips feel tight. You should feel a stretch, but there shouldn't be any pain. If you feel painful pulling in your muscles, stop immediately. This helps open your hips to promote proper posture, which will slowly help minimize your lordosis. For a bridge, start by lying on your back with your knees bent so that your feet are flat on the floor. Keep your palms and forearms next to your torso, pushing into the floor. Push your buttocks off the floor, lifting them as high as possible while keeping your arms, shoulders, and neck flat on the ground.  Hold each bridge for 5-10 seconds before lowering your buttocks down slowly. Rest for 5-10 seconds before repeating the exercise. Always check your body alignment before you start the exercise. If you feel strain or pressure in your neck or shoulders or a sharp pinch in your lower back, stop immediately. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Hinge at your hips and use your core to pull your upper body toward your knees. You don’t need to sit all the way up, but your...

Employ a multidimensional approach in diagnosing the patient. Recommend treatment for the patient. Finish by documenting the patient's understanding of the treatment.

Many people are naturally introverted, and simply need time to recharge after social interaction. If you suffer from depression or social anxiety, however, you may consider seeking help.  Introversion is perfectly normal. Introverted personality types tend to draw their mental energy from being alone, whereas extroverted personality types tend to draw their energy from time spent with people. Give yourself time and space. Do what you need to do in order to feel balanced. If you aren't sure whether you're introverted, or you'd like to explore your personality further, consider taking a personality test like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Be aware that while personality tests may give you insight into yourself, they may not give you the whole picture. Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, can lead people suffer from extreme shyness and fear social interactions like meeting new people, speaking to others, or social events. This fear may focus on being judged or scrutinized by others about how you look, what you say, or what you assume people are thinking about you. If you think that you might be suffering from an anxiety disorder, consider speaking with a counselor or therapist. Depression is characterized by a sad, hopeless mood, along with a loss of interest or pleasure in things that usually interest you. Many people with depression wind up withdrawing from friends, family, and loved ones, but support form these loved ones can be one of the best ways to bounce back from depression. If you feel that you're suffering from depression, tell someone--a friend, a family member, anyone close to you. Consider seeking help from a professional counselor or therapist. The best way to avoid people is to stay home. There are people outside, so don't go outside.  Read a book or watch a movie. Explore the Internet. Play a game. Do whatever strikes your fancy. Consider turning your phone off, or putting it on "silent". Turn off Internet-based chat apps like Facebook Chat, Skype, or Google Messenger. Bear in mind that...

TL;DR in English: Consider why you want to avoid people. Stay Home. Don't be approachable. Go to a remote place.

Your letter may not be taken seriously if it has numerous spelling and grammatical errors. Read through it carefully, then put it aside for a day and look at it again with fresh eyes. When proofreading, start with the last word and move backward to the first, reading each word separately. Mistakes are easier to see that way. If you're writing a letter of consent on behalf of a business or organization, or in your capacity as a representative of a business or organization, it should be on company letterhead. On the other hand, you shouldn't use business letterhead if you are writing the letter for a personal reason. For example, if you're writing a letter of consent for your child to travel abroad, you wouldn't normally put this on business letterhead – even if you own the business. The letter is related to a personal matter, not a business matter. If your signature is witnessed by a notary, it removes doubt that you were indeed the person who signed the letter. No one can argue that your signature was forged or that the letter was signed by someone pretending to be you. A notary does not review your letter or confirm its accuracy. They only verify that you are who you say you are and that your signature is legitimate. For some letters of consent, official documents can provide evidence beyond the letter itself that the information contained in the letter is true and accurate. These may include copies of identification documents or certificates of ownership.   For example, if you're allowing someone to use your car, you may include a copy of the registration or title as proof of ownership. If you're writing a letter of consent for your child to travel internationally, you may include a copy of the child's birth certificate as proof that you are the child's parent and that the child was born in the country you've stated. For permission to use intellectual property, you might include a copy of any copyright, patent, or trademark certificates. The person who receives the letter of consent depends on your purpose...

TL;DR in English: Proofread your letter carefully. Print your letter on official letterhead if appropriate. Sign your letter in the presence of a notary. Attach documents to support information in the letter. Deliver the letter to the appropriate person.

The signs of someone being called names may include sudden social isolation, changes in school habits or even lowered self-esteem. Remember no matter how silly a name is, if it is hurting the person being called that name it is not OK and not a joke. Ignoring name-calling can lead the abused into depression and in some cases even to making a suicide attempt. Some people who are bullied feel like no one cares or even notices their pain. Seeing another person stand up and take notice will help the person not feel isolated and like he or she needs to keep those painful feelings secret.  Children who are bullied and feel hopeless may make attempts to handle the situation on their own that have dire consequences like suicide. Ignoring any name-calling you witness could make the victim feel alone in the bullying and result in serious consequences. Something as simple as “Hey, why don’t you leave him/her alone?” should do the job. It calls attention to the misconduct and tells the bully this person has support. No one needs to feel like they are weak for talking about name calling or being too sensitive. If a child comes to you to talk about a bully calling them names, listen and do not say that the words shouldn’t hurt, which diminishes his or her feelings. It is not up to you to tell anyone else how something should make him feel. The child wouldn’t come to you to talk if it wasn’t hurtful. Reinforce that each child has the right to feel safe and respected. Model this behavior by not only encouraging the kids to talk about bullying but also by taking action to resolve the issue. You can say "If you're being picked on at school, it's important for you to tell someone. You won't get in trouble for telling. In fact, telling someone is really brave." Sometimes the biggest difference in a bully situation is made on the playground with the peer group. Positive peer pressure can go a long way to create a zero tolerance space for bullying. Encourage other students to seek out children who appear lonely and offer...

TL;DR in English: Learn how to spot the signs of a person who is being called names. Call out the bully. Encourage children to talk to someone. Counteract bullying at the school or playground. Help the child restore confidence.

Place 1 US tbsp (15 ml) of sour cream or yogurt into the pot of curry. Mix it in with a wooden spoon. Taste the curry to see if the spiciness has been reduced.  If the curry is still too spicy, continue adding a spoonful of either ingredient and tasting it to see if it improves the flavor. Be careful not to add too much sour cream or yogurt, as this may make the consistency of the curry too thick. Many curries have a coconut base, which means that adding coconut milk can work perfectly to dial down the heat. Add 1 US tbsp (15 ml) of coconut milk to the curry sauce, and taste it to see if it has helped. Simply add another spoonful or two if the first wasn't enough, and keep tasting the curry to see if the flavor has improved. Milk can also help to tone down the spiciness of curry. Pour 1 US tbsp (15 ml) of milk into the pot that has the curry sauce in it, and mix it in to combine it with the other ingredients.  Taste the curry after you add the milk. If it hasn't reduced the spiciness enough, add a bit more and try it again. Don't add too much milk at one time, as it could change the consistency of the curry and make it watery. Whole fat milk is the best to add to curries. Use either an oil that tastes neutral, such as vegetable oil, or one that will complement the flavors in the dish. Only add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of oil at a time, and mix it in thoroughly. Always try the curry before adding more oil to see how it has changed the taste.

TL;DR in English: Add sour cream or yogurt if you don't mind thickening the curry. Use coconut milk if it matches the flavor. Add milk if you don't mind thinning the curry. Use extra oil if the recipe already includes oil.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is used to categorize psychiatric diagnoses. However, the format is changing. The new format begins with the "principal diagnosis" and this condition should be followed by the phrase "principal diagnosis" or "reason for visit." Insurance companies may still require the old method, which assesses five dimensions (Axis). Include a diagnosis for each axis:  Axis I: Primary presenting problem (such as major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder). Axis II: Personality disorder (ex: borderline personality disorder) or intellectual disability Axis III: Medical problems (only MDs can diagnose these) Axis IV: Psychosocial and Environmental Problems Axis V: Global assessment of functioning (GAF) is a numerical rating on a scale of 0 - 100 of the client's current functioning with the life stressors he or she presents with. A GAF score of 91-100 means the patient is high functioning and easily managing the stressors in his or her life. A GAF score of 1-10 indicates that the patient is a danger to himself and/or others. Your recommendations should be based on your narrative summary and assessment. Your treatment goals must be measurable with specific time frames for completion.   Compile a list of treatment goals. Examples:reducing risk factors, decreasing functional impairment.  Indicate planned preventions with patient participation. Examples would be anger management, parent training, problem solving. Your assessment should conclude with a statement about the patient's understanding of the course of treatment and its goals. This portion of the assessment shows that the patient is aware of the decided course of treatment and is willing to work with it.  Patients report better outcomes to their treatment when they're in agreement with their practitioners about the course of treatment.  Ensure effective interventions by implementing a negotiations process between patient and mental health care provider.

TL;DR in English:


Find a quiet, secluded area to write. Make your writing area ergonomic. Eliminate distractions around you.

Once the child gets to be about 4-5 years old, you can set up pretend store or restaurant scenarios where you have to pay the child for goods and services. Exchange fake or real money with the child to give them a lesson about working to gain an income. For instance, you can set up a fake hamburger shop and have the child exchange play-dough hamburgers for money. Teach the child that they can’t take things from the store unless they pay for them first. They’ll be able to comprehend this concept somewhere between the ages of 4-6. If the child wants something, explain how much money it costs and whether you can buy it or not.  For instance, if the child picks up a candy bar you can say something like, “We have to pay for that candy bar if you want it. Do you know how much it costs?” You can also say, "Taking something from the store without paying is considered stealing and could get us in trouble!" Ask your child questions before you purchase something to get them thinking about how to save money, such as by asking, “That candy bar costs $0.50 less than this candy bar. Which one do you think we should get?” If the child wants more than one thing, give them a choice between things that have a similar monetary value. This will start to make them more conscious about the value of money and about how much things cost. It will also make them realize that money is limited and that sometimes they can’t have everything. For instance, you can say something like, “You can get 2 pieces of candy that cost $5 or 1 toy that costs $5. You choose.” Set a list of goals that need to be completed around the house and give them a weekly or monthly allowance for completing the goals. Help the child think of things that they want to save for to help motivate them to complete their tasks. This will give help them understand the value of money and the importance of saving.  If the child doesn’t complete the chores, don’t give them the allowance. Chores could include washing the dishes, walking the dog, taking out the garbage,...

TL;DR in English: Play “store” with 4- to 5-year-old children to teach them about income. Teach 4- to 6-year-old children about paying for things. Give children choices based on price. Provide children with an allowance for finishing chores.

4G and 3G are designed to deliver high bandwidth to cellphones; however, the distance between the transmission tower and the cellphone must be within a certain range of each other to be effective. The farther away you are away from one, the weaker the signal is going to be. If it is absolutely important for you that you can be reached for calls and texts, consider switching your phone to a 2G network instead. 2G offers a lower bandwidth than their newer counterparts but in turn you will have decent coverage in most places, especially where 3G/4G signals can't penetrate very well.  Imagine in between dense housing or enclosed spaces. Because of the lower data rate, 2G signals are able to get to hard to reach places. The only downside is that your internet connection won't be as fast. At any rate it is perfectly usable for calling and texting. To top it all off, your battery will not drain as fast since 2G doesn't require that much power. Consult your manuals of your phone on how to enable 2G networks. A new category of Smart Signal Booster is emerging. This new category of boosters utilizes super-powerful baseband processors to clean the signal before it is rebroadcast (hence the "Smart" in the name Smart Signal Booster). Most of the Smart Signal Boosters have gains of 100db (compared to analog booster's gain of 63 to 70db).  That's a 1,000 times to 2,500 times difference. Some of these new boosters, while more expensive than the traditional analog booster, are completely plug and play: you plug them, and they usually work right away without the need for complex installation of outdoor antennas (usually the donor antenna is inside the booster box).  Truly plug and play, they can be used with almost any carrier, require no installation and actually work. Most of the time, Smart Signal Boosters are carrier-specific (i.e. you need to get the one that works for your carrier). If you are having cell problems in one location, such as your home or office, then try installing a cellular repeater. Cell phone repeaters...

TL;DR in English: Try switching to a 2G network. Utilize a Smart Signal Booster. Install a cellular repeater. Upgrade your antenna. Change networks. Host a cell site.

When used properly, a menstrual cup may be the best option for exercising during your period. These cups are reusable, and they can stay in place for up to twelve hours.  Menstrual cups are ideal if you are doing endurance training, running a marathon, or hiking. Menstrual cups may move around during yoga, however. Once a menstrual cup is in, you should feel no discomfort, but some people may struggle with placing the cup. If you don’t have a menstrual cup, buy a box of tampons instead.  Tampons are not comfortable for everyone during exercise, however. If you find that you can’t exercise with a tampon in, try another method instead. "Sport" tampons are designed for workouts. You can try using these if normal tampons are uncomfortable while you exercise. If you have a heavy flow, you may need more protection. Use a pantyliner in addition to a menstrual cup or tampon. Put a new one in your undies just before exercising. Pads may cause uncomfortable chafing as you exercise. They can also scrunch up as you exercise, giving you less protection than you may need. If tampons and menstrual cups don't work for you, however, pads may be your only option. The underwear should be made out of a breathable fabric such as cotton. Underwear with more coverage will be more comfortable and prevent more leaks than a thinner type, such as a thong. You can even invest in a pair of period-proof underwear, such as Thinx. These can be worn in addition to or instead of a tampon or menstrual cup. Pants and shirts that are too tight might cause discomfort, especially if you’re experiencing cramps, constipation, or bloating. Instead, choose looser clothing. Make sure that your pants are dark, just in case there’s a leak!  For example, instead of tight leggings, wear loose sweatpants to the gym. A cotton t-shirt or tank top is perfect, especially if you don’t tolerate heat well on your period.

TL;DR in English: Try using a  menstrual cup. Insert a new tampon just before exercising. Apply a pantyliner if you’re prone to leaks. Use pads if you can't use tampons or menstrual cups. Choose boy shorts or hipster underwear. Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.

An example could be to: proofread professionally for a large financial printer/publisher.  And, since reliable is a synonym for infallible, then although infallibility/perfection may not be possible -- that is a necessary goal toward which to work. Be relied upon by others such as a court, judge and jury. A jury is called the reasonable man when they attend to, deliberate and decide guilt or innocence, awards and punishments. Avoid the devastating failure of "unreliable" personnel being relied upon which may lead to errors, failures, crashes, possible deaths. The opposite of reliable is deceptive, irresponsible, unreliable, untrustworthy, unsure, uncertain, ie: unqualified. get the best education, training and retraining. Both formal and informal education are important. All successful men self-teach, but formal education is becoming more highly regarded today, and can serve as motivation. This requires diligence and much practise. Prepare an emergency plan, and be expert in that area as well as work and play areas. Planning and procedure manuals, accounting books and software or tools for productivity, computer programs and procedures in the processes of your work must be aligned or designed to fit your area of expertise. Bring yourself and all members of a faculty, surgery team, nurse staff, training corps, secretaries and clerk assistants, sport team coaches and team skills in line. Keep them at as high a level of competency as possible, as they must be (to be reliable).

TL;DR in English: Work "toward" accuracy approaching perfection or reasonableness. Become fully qualified: Learn about, obtain, and use the proper and latest protective or safety gear correctly. Update, review, and maintain records and action plans. Use experts for intervention/arbitration as needed. Learn to be expert in using the best and the right software, instruments, or tools.

Choose a writing spot that is in a quiet, secluded area in your home. This could be a desk in your bedroom, a table in your living room, or a secluded spot in your school library. Go for a spot that has little to no foot traffic and is barely used by others. You may set up an area to write if you do not already have access to a table or a desk. Set up a desk in your bedroom that is for writing only or put a table in the basement of your home and use it as your writing spot. To ensure your writing area is comfortable, make it ergonomic. Get a desk chair that supports your lower back. Adjust your desk chair so your feet can lie flat comfortably on the floor and your lower back is straight. If you are typing on a computer, make sure the monitor is 20 to 40 inches (50-100 centimeters) from your face. The monitor should be eye level and you should be able to see the screen without having to squint or strain your eyes. You should also make sure your keyboard is at the right height so your wrists are not strained when you type. Keep your mouse near your keyboard so you can reach it easily. One of the biggest hinderance to writing is getting distracted by things and people around you. Turn off your cellphone or switch it to silent so you are not distracted by phone calls or text messages. Keep your door closed and wear noise cancelling headphones, especially if it is noisy around you.  You may also shut off your internet connection so you are not distracted by social media or online news. Restricting yourself to certain websites can be helpful if you need resources like an online dictionary. If you live with other people, let them know you are writing and that you are not be disturbed.

TL;DR in English:


Make a chain. Round 1. Round 2. Round 3. Round 4. Check your gauge. Round 5. Round 6. Rounds 7, 8 and 9. Round 10. Round 11. Round 12. Round 13. Round 14. Round 15. Round 16. Finish.

Sending text after text, especially when you have not even received a response to the first one, will get on the other person's nerves pretty fast. Give them time to respond. Blowing up your friend's phone might seem innocent enough—until you find out later that she was at a funeral and that's why she did not respond right away. Repeatedly texting a crush can ruin a romance before it even begins. If you've sent 2 texts and your crush did not answer either of them, they may be trying to tell you they are uninterested. Adding your circle of friends or multiple family members to a group text just to share unimportant information will definitely annoy them. Other group members then chime in and suddenly everyone is getting a constant stream of pointless notifications! If you have something super brief to share that doesn't require a response, it might be okay occasionally, but otherwise, avoid group texting! Habitually texting incredibly lengthy or detailed messages irritates others and they may stop reading your texts altogether. If you have something important to say, call them or ask to meet up with them! Keep your texts short, sweet, and to the point. Writing text "novels" might be especially annoying for your crush or someone you went on 1 date with. People really don't like it when you send out a mass text on a Friday night that says, "What's going on this weekend?" or "What are you up to tonight?" A mass text like, "So what movie should I watch tonight?" is also pretty annoying. Mass texts are always super obvious and they feel really impersonal. If you do send out mass texts, you may notice that you get fewer and fewer responses over time. If you called your friend and it went to voicemail, just leave a voicemail! Don't follow up your voicemail with a text that says, "Check your voicemail" or "Hey, I'm trying to get in touch with you." If they did not answer your call, they probably are not going to answer your text. Give them time to respond. It's okay to be eager to talk to someone! Just try not to overdo it.

TL;DR in English: Do not send more than 1 or 2 texts if you have not gotten a response. Avoid group texting unless there is a real reason to do it. Keep your texts relatively brief. Do not send out mass texts to fish for ideas or things to do. Avoid texting to inform someone that you just left them a voicemail.

The acid is necessary to break down the fibers in kale so that it is tender and easy to chew. Creamy dressings like ranch or blue cheese might seem like a good idea because kale is so substantial, but they will leave your salad too chewy. This is one of the most common dressings for kale salads. It pairs particularly well with strong cheeses like pecorino or parmesan. Here are the standard ingredients:  1/2 cup shallots, finely chopped (about 1 large shallot) 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon) 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil Fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, then add the olive oil and wisk to combine.  Use different types of vinegar (apple, rice, balsamic) to make a slightly sweeter dressing. Replace the oil with 2 teaspoons of honey for a sweeter, less tart dressing.  Replace the oil with 1.5 tablespoons of Dijon mustard for a dressing with a little more kick. Miso is an inexpensive ingredient made from fermented soybeans. Look for it in the refrigerated section in grocery stores. It will produce a thicker, creamier dressing, like this tahini maple dressing:  1/4 cup tahini 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 2 teaspoons white miso 2 teaspoons maple syrup pinch of red pepper flakes 1/4 cup water Add water last and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If your dressing is too thick, add more water or vinegar, to taste. Replacing lemon with lime and lime zest will make for a milder dressing with more of a southwestern flavor. Adding brown sugar or white sugar can make for a sweeter dressing.

TL;DR in English: Use a dressing with a lot of acid like lemon juice or vinegar. Try a lemon shallot vinaigrette. Stir to combine the shallots, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper. Try using miso to create a creamier dressing. Whisk together the tahini, vinegar, miso, maple syrup and red pepper flakes. Try substituting ingredients for different flavor profiles.

Hire a live band, slack key guitarist or ukulele player who specializes in Hawaiian music. If live music isn't in your budget, play a Hawaiian music CD or stream Hawaiian music on your computer.  Select traditional Hawaiian themed wedding music. Rather than play the Wedding March, play the Hawaiian Wedding Song as the bride and groom enter the reception. Hire a hula dancer to teach traditional hula dancing to reception guests. Hula dancers can teach guests a few basic hula moves, which will add elements of culture and recreation to the reception.

TL;DR in English: Choose Hawaiian music to set the mood at the wedding reception.

Scoop up a handful of snow with both hands. Pack it together into a round shape. Add snow to the ball in your hands until it is about one foot (30.5 cm) in diameter, or until it gets too heavy. Make sure you are wearing warm, waterproof gloves, or your hands will start to hurt from handling the snow. Set the snowball on the ground and begin rolling it forward. As you roll, avoid making a cylinder by changing the direction you’re rolling the ball. Keep rolling until the ball is about three feet (1 meter) wide.  Stop rolling the snowball in the spot where you want the snowman to be. Make sure you start somewhere near that spot, and roll the ball so that you end up there. It often works well to roll the ball in a large spiral, but take note that this will leave an obvious pattern in the snow. Pat your snowball together every so often to keep excess snow from falling off. Scoop up some snow in both hands and pack it into a tight ball. Add more snow until the ball is too heavy to carry. Put it on the ground and roll it around as you did for the bottom section. This time, stop when the ball reaches about two feet (.6 meters) wide. Roll the snowball in a circle around the bottom section, or in a straight line away from it and back to it. This way when you finish the ball you won’t have to carry it a long way to the bottom section. Depending on how big you are, have someone help you lift the large ball. Bend your knees and be sure to stand up with your legs rather than your back. Pick it up and gently set it on the bottom section. Make sure that it sits right in the center of the bottom ball. It helps if you flatten the top side of the bottom ball and flatten the bottom side of the middle ball. This helps the middle section sit firmly on the bottom section. Scoop up one last ball of snow for the head. Pack it with your hands until it is about one foot (30.5 cm) wide. You should be able to make the head without rolling it, but it’s okay to roll it if you want to. When you finish, carefully place it on top of the...

TL;DR in English: Pack a snowball with your hands for the bottom section. Roll the ball along the ground to make the bottom section. Form the middle section. Lift the middle section onto the bottom section. Make a one foot (30.5 cm) snowball for the head. Pack some snow between the sections.

With your main color (MC) chain (ch) 3 and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to first chain to form a ring. A chain stitch is a basic foundation element in crochet.  Follow this link for a review of how to crochet a chain.This hat is made by crocheting in rounds.  Each round begins with a number of chains that will count as the first stitch and ends by joining the last stitch with the top of the beginning chain.  This creates concentric circles. Ch 3, 9 double crochet (dc) into ring, join with sl st to top of ch 3. You should have 10 sts. A double crochet stitch is twice as high as a single crochet and creates a firm, substantial stitch.  Follow this link for a review of how to do a double crochet. Ch 2, dc into same st, 2 dc in each st around, join with sl st to top of ch 2. Now you should have 20 sts. A slip stitch is a small, flat utility stitch used, in this case, to join a ring.  Follow this link to see how to make a slip stitch when crocheting. Ch 2, dc into same st, dc in next st, *(2 dc in next st, dc in next st).  Repeat from * eight (8) more times.  Join with sl st to top of ch 2. Your stitch count is now 30 sts. Sl st into back loop of same stitch, ch 2, dc in next st, 2 dc in next st, *(dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st).  Repeat from * 8 more times.  Join with sl st to top of ch 2. You should have 40 sts. After completing Round 4,  your swatch should measure 5" in diameter. If it doesn't, adjust your hook size to obtain the correct gauge. Ch 2, dc into same st, dc in next 3 sts, *(2 dc in next st, dc in next 3 sts).  Repeat from * 8 more times.  Join with sl st to top of ch 2. Your stitch count:  50 sts.
