Project confidence. Be genuine. Present yourself well.

You may be worried about embarrassing yourself by making a mess.  You want to look good in front of your crush.  You certainly don’t want to slop food all over your outfit, or gross your crush out by eating food that ends up all over you.  Make it easy on yourself by avoiding messy options.  Eating spaghetti can lead to slurping long noodles and slopping sauce all over. Choose salad over soup.  Soup is another slurpy and splashy troublemaker. Ice cream is a melty mess.  You don’t want to have to be licking away at your dessert. Take care with finger foods which will get sauce all over your fingers or drip toppings down your arms.  Some culprits are burgers, and bbq or buffalo wings. Eating noisy food can seem very awkward, and draw unwanted attention to you while you are eating, especially if no one around you is talking while you are chewing.  Choose what you will chew with the noise it makes in mind.  Avoid foods you have to chew a LOT in order to swallow it.  This will reduce the amount of time you are making noise with your food.  An example of a tough to chew food would be Grape Nuts. The crunchiest fruits and vegetables like apples, uncooked carrots and celery will make quite the crack. Some chip companies pride themselves on making the loudest, crunchiest products.  Some notorious brands are Kettle Brand, Cape Cod and Doritos. You don’t want to have to worry about stinking the place up.  Garlic is known to leave your breath stinky, but you also want to avoid things which could stink up the whole area or give you indigestion.  Fish products, like tuna, can really send off a strong smell when opened in public. Spicy foods from Indian food to Mexican food can be doubly problematic.  Not only can they give off a strong odor, but they can lead to indigestion and gas. You may feel judged that you are eating too little or too much.  Measure your food with your hands by comparing portions of your food to parts of your hand.  This way you will go into your meal knowing what is the norm when it comes to...

TL;DR in English: Avoid foods that are messy. Beware of foods that have too much crunch. Stay fresh not stinky. Choose a comfortable portion size.

Small bits of buildup can become caked on your clippers. In some cases, this may have accumulated in a crevice. This kind of unsightly buildup may even remain after sterilizing or disinfecting. Use a toothpick to scrape the buildup from your clippers.  After you've popped the buildup free from your clippers, loose remnants might remain. Wipe the area with a dry cloth after using your toothpick to remove any remaining buildup. You may find that more rigid tools, like tweezers or a paperclip, work best to remove exceptionally stubborn buildup. Allowing your clippers to soak in a cleaning solution or disinfectant can cause buildup to loosen or dissolve. Generally, the longer you soak your clippers, the greater the effect of your cleaning solution or disinfectant will have. It may be most time efficient to set an hourly alarm and periodically check your clippers to gauge whether or not they need more time to soak. You might be surprised by how effective a simple dry scrubbing with a stiff bristle brush can be. Take your brush and apply it to your clippers. Switch your scrubbing direction and angle frequently while doing so.  By changing the angle and direction of your brushing, you'll attack gunk and buildup from all sides, improving your chances of scrubbing it free. Since buildup has a tendency to accumulate in nooks and crevices, you may want to consider a small stiff bristle brush, like a toothbrush, to have better access to these narrow spaces.

TL;DR in English: Use a toothpick. Soak your clippers. Scrub your clippers.

When you have to deal with something that involves constant invasion of your senses, like body odor, you may feel an urge to vent your frustration with other coworkers.  However, try your best to not bring the problem up with others, especially if you are planning to speak with them directly.  Gossiping about the problem could make you seem mean and cruel to your coworkers.  Also, since office gossip tends to travel fast, the offending coworker could hear that you were speaking unkindly about them, and any attempt to speak with them about the issue later will seem disingenuous. In general, the closer you are to the person, the more direct you should be.  If the offending person is a close work friend, being direct is a great strategy; however, if the person is a superior or a client, being direct about a personal matter like body odor is inappropriate.  In this instance, the most appropriate course of action would be to either drop hints first or go straight to Human Resources to help you.  If they are not a superior or client and you do have a friendly relationship with them, it would be appropriate for you to tell them directly. No matter how nice you say it, bringing up bad body odor to a person will be uncomfortable.  The person will most likely be embarrassed, so waiting to talk to them in a private setting is very important.  It is a kind gesture that makes you seem respectful, and it creates a space where the person may feel comfortable explaining their odor.  Perhaps they have an allergy to deodorant or a medical issue that requires a colostomy bag.  Some tips to initiate the private conversation:  Invite your colleague out for coffee or lunch to get them alone and away from the office. Ask the person to take a walk with you to relieve some stress after a long meeting. If you can’t talk to the person in complete privacy, be sure to at least pull him/her aside where others can’t hear.  Make sure to pull them aside subtly, and don’t draw attention to yourselves. It is important to understand the...

TL;DR in English: Avoid gossiping about the coworker's body odor. Consider how close you are to the person. Talk to the person about their odor in private. Let them know gently. End the discussion on a positive note.

One of the worst things you can do for your friend if they are suffering from anxiety is say, “Calm down.” People with anxiety can’t calm down, or they wouldn’t have an anxiety disorder. Telling your friend to calm down can be interpreted as you dismissing their feelings, implying that your friend is irrational, or saying that the feelings aren’t valid. Though you may be concerned when your friend has an anxiety attack, sharing your concern, being freaked out, or panicking yourself can increase your friend’s anxiety. Instead, be there for your friend and tell them you are sorry they are going through this. This can help your friend stay calm.  Asking questions like, “Are you alright? Are you okay? Can you breathe?” or similar things can cause more anxiety since you are not calm. Instead, tell your friend, “I’m sorry you are going through this. This must be really difficult. This is an awful way to feel.” When your friend goes through an anxiety attack, try to be as positive and encouraging as you can. Help your friend remember that they are safe where they are at the moment. For example, you may tell your friend, “You can do this. It’s only your anxiety. The feelings are quite frightening, but you are safe. I am here. You can get through this, and I am proud of you. A lot of anxiety stems from feeling like a person’s anxiety is their fault or that something is wrong or broken inside them. When your friend faces anxiety, tell them, “This is not your fault. It is okay.” This helps calm your friend and not put added anxiety onto them.  Being supportive and letting your friend know that it is not their fault does not mean that you enable your friend’s anxiety. Don’t accommodate your friend's fear and enable the anxiety. For example, you should never give up doing things because of your friend's anxiety. You shouldn't pressure your friend, but you also shouldn't change your plans and life around the anxiety all the time. Either decide to go to the event by yourself or you and your friend can take steps to help...

TL;DR in English: Avoid telling your friend to calm down. Offer sympathy instead of concern. Stay positive and encouraging. Help your friend understand it’s not their fault. Refrain from equating your friend’s anxiety to yours.

One of the most attractive qualities to women is palpable confidence. Girls will be interested in you if you seem to have a lot going on: you're involved in activities, you have friends, you speak your opinion, and you have long-term goals.  Confidence can stem from a lot of places. You don't have to be a basketball star to attract a girl; just get involved in something that shows you at your best. What activity allows you to shine? There's a big difference between confidence and arrogance. Confident people are admired by others for their talent, but also their grace and humility. If you're confident in yourself, you won't find the need to brag about it. Don't pretend to be someone you aren't - girls will be able to see right through it. There's nothing wrong with reading up on a band you know a girl likes so you can have a conversation about it later, but don't pretend you know how to play the guitar unless you're prepared to play her a song at a moment's notice. Be real, and you won't have to lie. Every girl has different preferences, or “types,” but don't worry too much about trying to wear all the latest trends. Dress appropriately for the situation - no sleeveless shirts at a martini bar, for example - and don't overdo it with the cologne. If you show up to a party dressed at your personal best and feeling confident, you'll act that way - and there's a good chance the girl you're trying to impress will forget she even has a type.

” Depending on the response, you will know if the person is comfortable talking with you. If he wants to have a conversation, ask him questions that are basic to begin with such as, “Where are you travelling to today? How long are you staying?”  If the conversation continues, you can ask more personal questions. As she shares more personal information, you can as well. This will increase the quality of the interaction. Ask questions such as, “What was it like growing up in southern California? Did you spend a lot of time at the beach or playing sports?” If you sense that he is tiring of the conversation simply say, “Well, it’s been great talking with you. I’ll let you get back to what you were doing.” You can tell if someone is tiring if they keep looking away, checking their watch, or just seem generally distracted or rushed. Conversations that occur on a date carry a bit more pressure than most conversations. The only way you will get to know someone is to have conversations about subjects including shared interests, values, ideals and education level. You want to find someone who is compatible with you and conversation will lead you there. Open conversations require you to be vulnerable. Keep your eye on the benefits involved in getting to know someone. This might help you remain open. You may want to date the person, do business with them, or ask them to be your mentor.  Thank the person for being open and answering your questions. Start with simple questions and move toward deeper questions. You will definitely want to ask about where the person attended school before you ask about his relationship with his father. If you sense the person’s discomfort with certain subject matter, don’t continue in that direction. Choose a different topic. Signs that someone is uncomfortable may include: looking down, fidgeting, looking pale, clenched jaw or forced smile. Let the person know that you are listening by repeating back what they say in a different way, or at another point in the conversation. People like to...

TL;DR in English: Strike up a conversation with a simple, “Hello, how are you? Use conversations to determine compatibility. Be open to answering questions. Be an active listener. Ask for a second date. Consider age differences when conversing with someone. Focus on networking for personal and business growth. Find common threads that link you to the person or people in the crowd. End a conversation gracefully.

Use very generous amounts of the spray to saturate the stain. Let it sit on the stain for at least a minute. Launder the item once the pre-wash treatment has had time to set. Combine 5 ounces (147.86 mL) of oxygen bleach with 1 gallon (3.78 L) of warm water in a clean bucket. If you’re using a powdered bleach, stir until it’s completely dissolved in the water. Soak your stained clothing for several hours until the stain is gone. Remove the clothing from the bucket and launder it immediately. Use a high efficiency formula for more effective stain removal. Cover the stain completely. Let the detergent sit on the stain for 20 minutes. Launder as usual. Repeat your stain removing method again if the correction fluid is still on your clothes after laundering them. Avoid drying the clothes, which will set the stain. Air dry the clothes if repeating the cleaning method doesn’t work. At this point, you should consult a dry cleaner. Follow these drying guidelines for clothing pre-treated with household items too.

TL;DR in English: Spray the stain with a pre-wash treatment. Soak your garment in oxygen bleach. Rub the stain with laundry detergent. Don’t dry your clothing if it is still stained.

Rinse the Piquanté Peppers under running water, using your fingers to gently scrub away any dirt or debris. Completely dry the Piquanté Peppers with clean paper towels before continuing. Pack the whole Piquanté Peppers in a thick resealable plastic bag labeled for freezer use. Leave little to no headspace. Label the bag using a permanent marker. List the contents (Piquanté Peppers) and the current date. Doing so allows you to keep track of how long your Piquanté Peppers have been in storage. Place the bagged Piquanté Peppers in your freezer. Store them for up to 8 months. It is recommended that you keep your freezer at a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) or below. When you are ready to use the Piquanté Peppers, remove the stems and seeds before thawing them. If you plan to cut them up, you should do that before thawing them, too.  Piquanté Peppers are easier to cut while they are still frozen. To seed the Piquanté Peppers, begin by cutting off the stem end and slicing the pepper in half lengthwise. Run a spoon or gloved finger down each half to brush the seeds away. Note that Piquanté Peppers lose some of their crunch after being frozen and thawed, so keep that in mind when you choose this preservation method.

TL;DR in English: Wash the Piquanté Peppers. Package in freezer-safe bags. Freeze until needed. Seed and mince before thawing.

They have more life experience than you do, so they may be wiser than you realize. Ask them for advice, and value the things they tell you (even if you don't always agree). Think about how many good things they have done for you. Chances are, you'll never able to stop counting.  Parents aren't perfect, and sometimes they give bad advice and make bad decisions. Hear them out, and then explain your point of view as calmly as you can. Work together to figure out a good approach. Don't accept a bad situation. Most parents are good (or at least decent), but some are mean or abusive. If things are bad at home, talk to another adult you trust. Try a teacher, school counselor, parent of a friend, clergy member, relative, or other adult who is a good listener. Talk to them what's going on, and ask for help handling the situation. . When you see your parents or siblings looking like they need help (struggling with packages, doing chores, etc.) say "Is there anything I can do to help you?" Open doors for them, help carry things... little things can make a big difference. The next time you see your parents or older siblings doing chores, try asking them to show you how. The two of you can do it together. You'll practice and help out at home, and then you'll be good at it when you're an independent adult. Learn how to cook, do laundry, do housework, and other basic tasks. Help out your parents and anyone you see who could use a hand.

Simply put, the science is still out on brain games. When put to rigorous, short-term scientific trials, brain games sometimes show an effect on cognitive ability and sometimes do not. The rise in popularity of brain games is also too new for any long-term studies of the method to have shown results one way or another. Anecdotally, many people do feel as though brain games have helped with cognition, so here is an example of an increasingly demanding brain game you can try if you choose. Begin by opening a large, clear version of this image. Starting at the top, move from left to right and top to bottom while calling out the direction the eyes are looking, e.g. ”down, left, up, right…” Time yourself as you go through the faces, and try to do it without any errors first within thirty seconds, then within fifteen seconds. Once you’ve gotten quick at calling the directions, try calling the directions from the face’s perspective instead—as if you were the face looking out from the page, e.g. ”down, right, up, left…" This approach is more difficult because it requires one additional processing step to correct for the face’s perspective. As with the first trial, time yourself and try to complete the picture without error at different milestones—thirty seconds, then fifteen seconds. Return to the exercise from step 2, but this time point your finger in the opposite direction of the one you’re saying aloud for each face, e.g. ”down [point up], left [point right], up [point down]…" This one will be even more difficult because you’ve added a motor skill component to the verbal component.  Similar to the idea behind why musical training can improve processing speed, this exercise requires the coordination of multiple brain modalities—visual to interpret the information in the picture, verbal to say the direction aloud, and motor to point in coordination with the rest. You can continue adding even more components to the exercises as well, calling out the face’s perspective direction only when you reach green faces or on...

TL;DR in English: Enlarge this picture by opening it in a new window. Call out the direction the eyes are looking. Start over from the face’s perspective. Go back to the first exercise but include finger pointing. Expand your repertoire of brain games.

Use pavers, bricks, or another type of decorative stone to line the perimeter of the gravel. This will help keep the gravel in place and prevent leaves and other debris from mixing with the gravel. Landscaping fabric is a great way to keep plant growth, dirt, and debris out of your gravel. Lay landscaping fabric on the bare ground before arranging the clean gravel. To keep weeds at bay, spray the surface of the gravel with a weed killer. Do this once every 10 to 15 days. Additionally, use a rake to remove any weeds and other debris from the gravel as they surface.

TL;DR in English: Line the perimeter. Use landscaping fabric. Apply a weed killer.

Early detection of the return of psychosis and prompt treatment generally prevent a full relapse. However, you must be aware that relapse in schizophrenia occurs very often; and it cannot be entirely prevented, even when the patient has the best treatment. Although symptoms of relapse are sometimes difficult to detect (since they are usually non-specific for schizophrenia), pay attention to: Subtle changes in the behaviour of your relative, including appetite and sleep problems, irritability, loss of interest in daily activities, and a depressed mood. A person may stop going to follow up treatment or discontinue the medication, frequently leading to a return of symptoms. Without treatment some people with schizophrenia may become so disorganized that they cannot attend to their basic needs, including food, shelter and clothing. Ways that you can help make sure your loved one is getting all that he or she needs include:  Keeping an eye on the person's use of medications. If you notice your loved one skipping medications, either intentionally or unintentionally, make sure that they keep taking them. Keeping a record of the types of medications, dosages, and affects the meds have on your loved one. Because schizophrenia causes disorganization, it is up to you, at least until the medication starts working, to monitor the doses of each medication your loved one should receive. For some reasons that are not fully understood, people with schizophrenia are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. Similarly, they have an increased risk of suffering from obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. To help the person overcome these issues, you can encourage him or her to live a healthy lifestyle that includes a good diet and regular physical activity. For example:  Offer to go on walks with your loved one each day. Or, drive him or her to the gym and set up a daily exercise routine. Stock the refrigerator with healthy food options. Offer to cook dinner every other day and served balanced meals. Balanced meals include...

TL;DR in English: Learn to recognize the early signs of relapse. Ensure that your relative continues getting treatment after hospitalization. Make sure your relative lives a healthy lifestyle. Communicate with your loved one in a way that he or she understands. Avoid long discussions about the delusions your loved one has. Have patience. Show love and empathy. Keep your loved one's environment peaceful.

Make sure you are using a perfect circle. Measure the circumference of a circle as accurately as you can. Measure the diameter of the circle. Use the formula. Repeat this process with several different circles, and then average the results.

In addition to being vital for your overall health, staying hydrated helps lubricate and cushion your joints. The right amount depends on your age, sex and other factors. As a general guideline, men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 L) of water per day. Women should drink about 11.5 cups (2.7 L) per day. Salmon, trout, and other fatty fish are great for joint health, so try to eat at least 2 to 3 servings per week. Avocados, nuts, olive oil, and other sources of healthy fats can help lubricate joints. While some fats are healthier than others, you should still moderate your fat and oil consumption.  Recommended daily allowances range from 5 to 7 teaspoons and depend on your age, sex, and activity level. A medium avocado contains 6 teaspoons of oil, 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of peanut butter contains 4 teaspoons of oil, and a serving of raw or roasted nuts contains 3 to 4 teaspoons of oil.  In moderation, unsaturated fats, such as those found in vegetable oils, are an important part of a healthy diet. Saturated and hydrogenated fats (also known as trans fats) aren't healthy choices and can increase LDL, or bad cholesterol levels. Sources of less healthy fats include butter, shortening, red meat, lard, and processed foods. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, and hydration, and many have anti-inflammatory properties. Leafy greens, broccoli, berries, and red grapes are packed with antioxidants. Sources of vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and peppers, can help prevent cartilage erosion.  The amount you need depends on your age, sex, and other factors. For a general guideline, aim for 1 1⁄2 to 2 cups (350 to 470 mL) of fruit per day. A small apple, large orange, or large banana are each 1 cup (240 mL) servings.  Try to eat 2 1⁄2 to 3 cups (590 to 710 mL) of vegetables per day.  Go for a mix of leafy greens, red and orange veggies, and starchy veggies (like corn or potatoes). Serving examples include 1 cup (240 mL) of cooked spinach, 2 sliced medium carrots or 12 baby carrots, a large tomato, and a large...

TL;DR in English: Drink enough water to meet your recommended needs. Eat more fish and healthy fats. Eat plenty of fruits and veggies. Avoid foods that contain lots of sugar or salt. Work on losing excess weight.

Increased weight and obesity can lead to low testosterone levels. Changing your dietary patterns can make a big difference not only to your testosterone levels but to your risk for heart disease and diabetes. Start changing your diet by cutting out processed, packaged, and prepared foods. Eating “whole” foods means cutting out excess sugars, trans and hydrogenated fats, preservatives, etc. Try to incorporate:  More fruits and vegetables  More fish and quality meat. Avoid processed food, including grains, lentils, beans, and dairy. More nuts and seeds This includes sugars added to processed foods (such as high fructose corn syrup), as well as artificial sweeteners. If you need a “sweet hit”, try using Stevia, a herb that can provide sixty times the sweetness of sugar. Omega-3 fats are healthy fats found in a variety of foods. These include those found in eggs, algae, fish, and mussels, but also plant oils like flaxseed, hemp and walnut oil. Healthy fats actually help to build a healthier body. Lots of water is essential to any healthy diet. In addition to hydrating you, water can also stop you from feeling hungry. Cut down on snacking, eating when bored, and other sneaky calories. Try to eat only when you are hungry. Restricting calories significantly may send the wrong signals to your body, which will not increase testosterone. Instead, cut your calories by approximately 15 percent the first week. All weight loss goals should be reasonable. Aim to lose a pound per week by improving diet and increasing activity levels. Meat, high-protein yogurt, and some vegetables can help build muscle. Increasing muscle will help burn fat and increase testosterone.

TL;DR in English: Avoid processed, packaged, and prepared foods. Eat foods as close to their natural state as possible. Avoid outside sources of sugar. Increase healthy fats. Drink plenty of water. Eat only when hungry. Don't go on crash diets. Eat following a workout.

Doing a split can appear deceptively simple. In actuality, this move requires a high level of flexibility in multiple muscle groups. The most important of these are the hamstrings and dorsal hip muscles (also called iliopsoas), however, stretching a wide range of lower-body muscles will ensure greater overall flexibility, lessening your risk of discomfort, pain, or injury. Additionally, this comprehensive stretching regimen prepares you to do both types of basic split - side splits and front splits. Besides the hamstrings and hip muscles, try to add stretches for as many of the following muscles as possible to your fitness routine:  Lower back (lumbar region) Buttocks (glutes) Groin (especially valuable for side splits) Calves Quadriceps The stretching recommendations included the following steps in this section will target many of these secondary muscles. However, if desired, you may substitute your own preferred stretches. This stretch targets your hip muscles. Begin as if you were doing an ordinary lunge exercise - plant one foot forward and lower yourself down to the ground by bending your front leg and sliding your back leg back until your shin lies on the ground. When you've reached the floor, put your hands on your hips and gradually shift your weight forward, keeping your back straight. Continue until you begin to feel the stretch in the top of the thigh where it meets the hip. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then return to your starting position and switch to your other leg. Repeat several times.

TL;DR in English: Know the muscles you need to stretch. Do a lunge stretch.

You cannot carry more than 6 Pokémon with you at once, but you will need at least one free space to get Bulbasaur. You can go to a Pokémon center in any city and deposit one of your Pokémon if you need to make room. You must also make sure Pikachu is in your party when you speak with Melanie. This is the first town you reach after travelling through Mt. Moon, and the gym-leader is Misty. Her house is located next to the Pokémon Center. You will see Melanie and a Bulbasaur standing by the back wall. She will notice that you look after Pikachu well and will ask if you would look after Bulbasaur. Say yes and she will add Bulbasaur to your empty party slot.

TL;DR in English: Ensure that you have space in your party. Travel to Cerulean City. Go to Melanie's house. Speak to Melanie.

This method won't work with ellipses, ovals or anything but a real circle. A circle is defined as all the points on a plane that are an equal distance from a single center point. The lids of jars are good household objects to use for this exercise.You should be able to calculate pi roughly because in order to get exact results of pi, you will need to have a very thin lead(or whatever you are using). Even the sharpest pencil graphite could be huge to have exact results. The circumference is the length that goes around the entire edge of the circle. Since the circumference is round, it can be difficult to measure (that's why pi is so important). Lay a string over the circle as closely as you can. Mark the string off where it circles back around, and then measure the string length with a ruler. The diameter runs from one side of the circle to the other through the circle's center point. The circumference of a circle is found with the formula C= π*d = 2*π*r. Thus pi equals a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. Plug your numbers into a calculator: the result should be roughly 3.14. This will give you more accurate results. Your measurements might not be perfect on any given circle, but over time they should average out to a pretty accurate calculation of pi.

Some brands of paint need to dry for several days before they can be used, while others need to dry for up to a month. Some brands might require you to bake your piece in the oven. Always refer to the label on your bottle of paint. Some labels will tell you to "cure" your paint for a certain amount of time. This simply means to let the paint "dry." After this, the paint should be dry to the touch, and can be gently handled. Depending on the brand of paint you used, however, the paint may not be cured all the way. If the paint feels sticky or gummy, it is not cured and needs to dry longer. Most glass paints will be completely cured after 21 days. This will allow you to wash your piece in the dishwasher. Place your painted piece onto a foil-covered baking sheet, then put the baking sheet into a cold oven. Set the oven to 350°F (175°C), or whatever temperature the manufacturer recommends. Bake the item for about 30 minutes, then turn the oven off. Do not take the piece out of the oven yet. Instead, let the piece and the oven both cool down first. Removing the glass too soon may cause it to crack.  Most paint with glitter in it cannot be cured in the oven. You must allow them to air-cure for 21 days. The label on the bottle will tell you whether or not the paint can be oven-cured.  If you are using glass paints from different brands, know that they may have different curing temperatures and times. To avoid burning the paint, stick with the lower baking temperature and time. Most glass paints are delicate after they cure, and should only be hand-washed using a soft cloth of sponge. If you cured your piece in the oven, you might be able to wash it in the top rack of a dishwasher. Never leave painted glass sitting in water, even if you oven-cured it. The water will cause the paint to flake away. Also, never use a scratchy sponge on a glass piece; you will scrape the paint off.

TL;DR in English: Read the instructions on the paint bottle. Allow the paint to dry for at least 48 hours. Consider baking the item for durable finish. Know how to wash your glass piece safely. Finished.

Do a simple movement, like tapping your feet and stretching. If it becomes a habit, it might just save you from falling asleep during those final dire moments and it can keep you awake without being distracting. Try keeping music on in the background. If it has a good beat, you may find yourself naturally tapping your foot to the tempo. Avoid a decreasing sense of energy and motivation by setting a constant pace for yourself: For example, try 40 to 55 minutes of work, and taking a 5 to 20 minute break, or perhaps a quick walk around outside in a safe and well lit area.  Looking repeatedly at a clock may distract you from your work. Taking breaks is especially important if you are working on the computer; it will help prevent headaches and eye strain. Take a short break to watch a part of a scary movie if you think it will help your productivity. Scary movies can keep one alert, but don't watch if it becomes a distraction; it's enough to watch a little during a 5- to 20-minute break.  Choose a movie with a subject that actually frightens you. It would be pointless to watch a movie about giant spiders if you like spiders. If you can't find a scary movie, consider watching a real-life documentary on a terrifying subject instead. Coffee or tea may seem like an ideal solution at the time, but you may get a temporary buzz then crash badly the following day (perhaps halfway through your test or meeting). Try staying hydrated with water instead.  Drink 2 glasses of ice-cold water every 30 minutes. Not only will the cold water help to keep you awake, but you'll need to urinate often, which will keep you alert. Non-caffeinated herbal tea will also naturally keep you awake due to tea's extensive amount of herbs. Keep in mind that some herbal teas, like chamomile, will put you to sleep. Avoid teas labeled as "bedtime" or "calming." Foods like sandwiches, cheese, and other dairy products can allow you to feel more alert. Sugary foods may make you feel awake for a little while, but will eventually make you crash and feel...

TL;DR in English: Keep moving. Take breaks. Watch a horror film. Avoid caffeine, if possible. Eat protein-rich foods to stay energized. Play hardcore metal music. Squeeze and massage your ears.

When you're ready to lift again, protect your wrists from injury before you begin. Wrap your wrists with athletic tape or put wrist straps on before you lift. These can relieve some of the pressure you'll be putting on your recovering wrists. Prevent tension from building up in your muscles by gently stretching before you lift. Keep your forearms and elbows straight while you bend your wrists up. Hold the stretch for 30 to 60 seconds. Bend your wrists in the opposite direction and hold the stretch for 30 to 60 more seconds. You can also do this stretch throughout the day to improve your wrists' range of motion. Bend your elbows to a 90-degree angle and keep the palms of your hands facing down towards the ground. Hold this position for 5 to 10 seconds. Then turn your hands over so your wrists and forearms twist around. The palms of your hands should now be facing up. Hold this position for 5 to 10 seconds. Do 10 repetitions of these twists about 3 times a day. Start with lighter weights than you're used to lifting and gradually add weight as your wrists become stronger. If you add weight and start to feel wrist pain, take a break and use less weight when you start lifting again. Pay attention to how you use your wrists as you lift. They shouldn't be curling or taking on the bulk of the weight. Instead, your wrists should be straight or neutral. Keep the back of your hand lined up flat with your forearm. For example, if you're doing bicep curls, keep your wrists straight as you bring the weights toward you. If you feel any pain as you lift something, change grips to a better position that doesn't hurt. This might mean holding an object from different sides or using one hand or arm to do more of the lifting.

TL;DR in English: Wrap your wrists with a strap or tape. Do bending stretches to strengthen your muscles. Practice rotating your wrists 3 times a day. Reduce the amount you lift. Keep your wrists in a neutral position when you lift.

If your tent is set up near a lake or stream, take a bath there. If you’re not living near fresh water, heat up some water over a fire to clean yourself with. Use a bar of soap and a clean rag to wash your body. If you don’t have shampoo, use the soap to clean your hair. To conserve water, have a stash of cleaning wipes in your tent. Whenever you’re feeling dirty, wipe your body down with the wipes. Have a toothbrush and toothpaste in your tent and brush your teeth twice daily. Take a sip of water to rinse your mouth out after you brush and spit it outside of your tent. Put all your wrappers and food scraps in sealable plastic bags so wild animals aren’t attracted to your tent. Keep these sealed bags organized in a larger trash bag. When the trash bag gets full, prepare to take it somewhere you can properly dispose of it, like a nearby dumpster or trash can. If you don’t have access to a toilet or outhouse, look for a discreet area that is away from any nearby water sources. For defecation, dig a hole that is 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) deep and fill it in with dirt and soil when you’re finished. Bury toilet paper in the hole. Fill the bag or bucket with hot water and put your dirty clothes inside. Dump in a little laundry detergent or dish soap and mix the clothes around in the water for several minutes. Let your clothes soak for ten minutes. Dump out the sudsy water and rinse your clothes with clean water. Hang them up to dry. Make your own clothesline for drying your wet clothes by hanging a wire between two trees.

TL;DR in English: Bathe regularly. Practice good oral hygiene. Stow your trash in sealed bags until you can dispose of it. Go to the bathroom at least 200 feet (61 meters) from your tent. Wash your clothes in a large bucket or sealable plastic bag.

Homebrew applications are programs (such as games and emulators for old game systems) that are written by individual programmers and usually distributed for free to anyone who wants them. The downside of running homebrew programs on your PSP is that it requires hacking your PSP's firmware so that it'll allow unlicensed programs. Hacking your PSP's firmware isn't a big legal deal to anybody, but custom firmware can occasionally impede your ability to run some commercial games properly. Although the homebrew community is always improving in reliability and compatibility, the problem still exists. Back up all of your save files and other electronically stored data onto a second memory stick before you proceed, just in case. You either have an official firmware or a custom firmware. The latest official firmware for the PSP is the version 6.61. If you have anything under 6.60 it's highly recommended you update it since new games do not work on older firmwares. So go to Sony's official website and download the latest firmware, they have a very detailed guide there to help you on the update process. After your system software is 6.60 you good install a Custom firmware (CFW). The best CFW for the PSP is called "PRO", No matter what PSP model you have (1000/2000/3000/e1000 or Go!) All work with the same PRO CFW. This is how to install it:  Download the 6.60 PRO-C fix3 CFW. There is a newer version called C2 but it has a bug which makes PSN games unplayable so it's recommended to stick with PRO-C fix3. Enter USB mode. Navigate to your PSP's “Settings” menu and select “USB mode.” Connect the PSP to your computer with a USB cable and open it up on your desktop. Be sure your empty memory card is still in the PSP. Navigate to the root file of the memory card. Copy the firmware. The firmware comes with 3 folders (PRO Update, CPL Flasher, and Fast recover), Copy this 3 folders inside the "PSP\GAME\" folder of your Memory Stick. Leave USB mode.

Put the chicken in a bowl or pan. Add the spices and powders to the chicken. Mix your ingredients. Refrigerate the chicken.

Free food and drink is available sometimes in the most unlikely places. Most big banks offer free coffee in the lobby, which you can load up on quickly and high-tail it out of there. If someone asks if you need help, say that you've got a check from a different bank that you need to deposit and you want to know if you can deposit it here. When the employee asks if you're a member, say no. No transaction required. You can also get free coffee at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and Caribou Coffee by enrolling in their rewards program, which is free. Sign up, print the coupon, and redeem it at the store for some coffee on the house. Time to polish off your acting skills again. Find a good hotel chain in your area and locate the continental breakfast room for a free pastry, piece of fruit, and maybe even a waffle if you're lucky. While some hotels keep the breakfast locked away in a room you've got to access with a key card, most of them have the breakfast out in the open, making it easily available to anyone who looks the part. Don't worry too much about getting caught. Because most guests don't stay longer than a day, and because the front desk employee turns over each morning, it's unlikely you'll be caught. While it's not illegal, it's better to just leave quietly if someone catches you and threatens the cops. There's a difference between "against the law" and "against corporate rules." Still, don't make a scene. One of the biggest secrets about farmers' markets is that most of the vendors are itching to get rid of everything before they have to pack back up and head home. Do a quick sweep through the market to see what looks good, then wait to approach any of the booths until 10 or 15 minutes before the end of the day. The less produce the vendors have to lug back, the better. Ask about two for one deals or whether or not they've got any overripe stuff to get rid of. Street fairs and other festivals will commonly offer free samples to try to hook passers-by, and these locations are also great places to nab a free...

TL;DR in English: Get free coffee at the bank. Hit up the continental breakfast with the "other" guests. Hit up the farmers' market just before closing time. Head to a street festival for samples. Get free tastes. Check the trash behind grocery outlets. Learn to recognize edible plants and other foragable food

Take care of how you look and smell especially if you are growing up quickly. You may notice that you sweat a lot more or that you smell very bad. These are not attractive qualities so be sure to shower and wear deodorant every day. Also remember to brush your teeth and style your hair. Keeping basic hygiene makes sure that she does not get grossed out.  Always stay fresh and clean even when you're not in school because if you run into her friends in the mall and they think that you smell, the rumour will spread quickly back to her. Without even knowing it, you may have already blown your chance. Take deodorant to school with you, if allowed, in your sports kit on P.E. days. While each girl will like her own specific style, take pride in how your dress. Have confidence in your appearance and know what works for you. You want to feel comfortable in your outfits so that it will be one less thing to worry about. This does NOT mean forcing your friends to ask out a girl on your behalf but it can mean using them to help you look better or find out information about her. It also has the added effect of showing that you are a sociable person and fun to be around. If you aren't friends already, introduce yourself when you are working in a group or when you are sitting next to each other. Talk to her in class, but don't be obnoxious. Don't talk to her too much, just say hi when you find yourself around her or wave if you see her around school.  Talk to her whenever the opportunity presents itself. Start by simply asking, "How's it going?" Don't be creepy or awkward by lingering at her location without saying something. If you have nothing to say, don’t force it. Just greet her and move along. Make sure to make a good impression on them as they are her first line of defense. If she is much more popular than you, or in a different social circle, more effort will be required. Try and talk to that group to get closer to her, and be seen in a different light. A girl is much more likely to go out with you if you have gained...

The bowl or pan needs to be big enough so there is enough room to mix the chicken in with the marinade, and have the marinade coat the chicken completely. Keep the chicken in big pieces, and on the bone. Keeping the chicken on the bone will create a stock once the chicken is being cooked, adding a nice, full flavor to the biryani. One by one add the marinade ingredients to the chicken:  Ginger garlic paste - 2 tbsp Red chili powder - 1 tbsp Salt - to taste (approximately 1 tsp) Yogurt - 1 cup Garam Masala Powder - 1 tsp Green cardamom powder - 1 tsp Cumin powder - 1 tsp Turmeric - 1/2 tsp Fried brown onions - 1 cup Ghee (clarified butter) - 4 tbsp Freshly chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) - 1/4 cup Mint leaves (no stalk) 10-15 2-4 green chilies (broken or cut) Lemon juice - 1 tbsp Mix all the ingredients until they are dispersed thoroughly, and the chicken pieces are completely covered with the marinade mixture. Once the chicken is coated with all the spices and flavorings, let it marinade. There is a wide range of how long you can let the chicken marinade. You can marinade the chicken overnight to ensure the chicken absorbs all the flavors, or you can marinade it for less time. However, give the chicken a minimum of 4 hours to marinade to set in. Once you are finished with the marinading the chicken, cover and place the chicken in the refrigerator, and work on the other parts of the biryani.

TL;DR in English:


Reload your weapon and watch the deer for a few minutes for signs of life. Unload your weapon. Attach your tag to the deer in a convenient location. Drag the deer to clearing on a slight incline to field dress it. Hang a piece of blaze orange fabric on a nearby tree.

Often times natural food, and plant-based oils have a wonderful aroma. They also have the added benefit of moisturizing your skin. Since bleach dries out the skin, it is a win-win: no more dry skin, no more chlorine stink. Some suggestions include:  Coconut oil Almond Oil Olive oil Aloe Vera lotion: make sure the lotion is high in Aloe Vera as that will make a huge difference in its effectiveness Tea tree oil lotion: like Aloe Vera, a higher concentrate will do a better job Citrus based lotions Citrus based soaps: there are some all-natural soaps that provide both the cleaning power of soap and the moisturizing effects of lotion. Check your local health food store to see if they have any that fit your needs and budget. When using oils you don't want to overdo it. You could wind up over-oiling yourself, thus adding another step (namely, removing all that excess oil!). If you're using lotion, this should be enough to coat your entire hand and give you a good idea if you need more and if the lotion you've chosen is doing the job. If you use a citrus based soap, lather up then use hot water. This helps the soap latch onto those base bleach molecules and lift them out.

TL;DR in English: Use select natural oils, lotions, and soaps. Apply a little at a time. Apply a few dollops. Lather up.

You will need four pieces of ribbon that are long enough to wrap around the box lengthwise, plus an additional 2 inches (5.08 centimeters).  For a unique look, consider using two pieces of thin ribbon, and two pieces of slightly wider ribbon. You can also use two contrasting colors instead. Thick and/or wired ribbon is not a good choice. Use thin satin or balloon ribbon for best results. Use the same ribbon as in the previous step. This time, cut the ribbon long enough so that it can wrap around the box widthwise, plus 2 inches (5.08 centimeters). Take the four long ribbons, and set them down on the table. Make sure that they are parallel to each other and spaced no more than ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters) apart. If you used different widths and/or colors, be sure to alternate them. Place your gift face-down on the ribbons. The box can be centered or off-center, depending on where you want the ribbons to be. Wrap and tape each of the ribbons one at a time; do not tape all of them at once. Pull the ribbons firmly around the box so that they are nice and snug. The ribbon ends will overlap each other by about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters).  Make sure that you are only taping the top ribbon to the bottom ribbon; don't tape the ribbons to the box itself. You can also use glue dots (found in the scrapbooking aisle of an arts and crafts store) instead of double-sided tape. Place a strip of double-sided tape onto the end of each of your short ribbon. Arrange the ribbons right above the first, long ribbon, making sure that the ends are perpendicular to it. Once again, keep the ribbons spaced no more than ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters) apart. Pull your short ribbons around to the front of the box. Weave the first one over and under across the first set of ribbons. Weave the next ribbon under and over, and so on. Continue weaving until you have woven all four ribbons. Flip the box over again. Secure a strip of double-sided tape to the end of each ribbon, then press the ribbons down one by one to the back of the box. Make sure that...

TL;DR in English: Cut four pieces of ribbon for the length of the box. Cut four pieces of ribbon for the width of the box. Set the first set of ribbons side-by-side down on the table.

Flip the box over and weave the short  ribbons through the first set of ribbons. Secure the ribbons to the back of the box. Add a decoration to the front, if desired.

When you want your eyes to look wide and awake, it’s important to use eye shadows in light or pale colors on the lid. That’s because dark colors make objects recede, while light shades bring them forward. With a light shade on your lid, your eyes will appear larger and more prominent.  If you have fair or light skin, ivory and cream shades are ideal lid colors. If you have medium or darker skin, opt for beige and tan shadows. Light pink or purple shades can compliment a wide variety of skin tones. To keep balance with the rest of your makeup, it's best to choose a neutral lip color when you want your eyes to look wider and more awake. By going with a soft lip color, it'll keep the focus on your eyes. The best bet is a shade that's similar to your natural lip color. You can make your eyes appear brighter by using a light, shimmery shadow on the inner corner of your eye near the tear duct. The light color and shimmery finish will catch the light so your eyes look wider and more awake.  To apply your inner corner highlight precisely, use a small pencil brush that comes to a point. Instead of using a powder shadow as an inner corner highlight, try using a light shimmery eyeliner or cream shadow pencil to brighten the area. When you want your eyes to appear more awake, it's best to keep your eye liner thin and wing it up at the outer corner for a cat eye shape. That helps lift the eye so it appears more open.  You don't have to go for a dramatic wing if you want a softer look. A small flick at the end of your liner can still help open up your eye. Cat eye liner is traditionally done with a liquid eyeliner, but you can use a pencil or cream if you prefer. For a soft, natural look, use a powdered eye shadow and a small angled brush to create your cat eye liner. You can also skip eyeliner completely when you want a wide-eyed look. By not using liner on your upper lash line, it makes your eye lid space appear larger so your eyes look wider overall. To make your eyes appear wider, use a nude or flesh tone eyeliner to...

TL;DR in English: Choose light eye shadows. Highlight the inner corner. Create a cat eye shape with your liner. Use a nude eyeliner on your inner rim.

You may be able to prevent manic episodes from happening in the first place by practicing good sleep hygiene. This can be very effective at curing sleeplessness in individuals with bipolar disorder - even those in a manic episode. Consider developing a winding-down routine to get you in the right mind-frame for sleep. A nightly routine may consist of doing light stretching, tidying up your home, preparing your clothing for the following day, taking a hot bath, and reading a book. Try to do things that do not involve bright lights or technology since these things do not signal to your brain that it is sleep time. Do calming activities that indicate to both your brain and your body that sleep time is nearing. The bedroom should be associated primarily with sleeping. If you are a person that does work on your laptop in bed or watches TV while in bed, you may need to change those habits to get to sleep. Try moving distracting activities from the bedroom and do these in another area. If your bedroom is comfortable and inviting it will be easier to fall asleep there. Get a cozy mattress, bedding, and pillows to create an environment conducive to sleeping. In addition, cover your windows with black-out curtains to let minimal light in. Turn down your thermostat to a cool temperature. Depending on any medications you are taking, you may have already been instructed to limit these beverages completely. However, if you have been cleared to drink alcohol and caffeine, keep consumption to several hours before bed.  You may be surprised at the advice about not drinking alcohol before bed. Most people will feel drowsy after one or two drinks. Even though alcohol may help you fall asleep, it does not promote good quality sleep and you may wake up hours later and be unable to fall asleep again. Caffeine is a stimulant, so the last thing you want to do in the hours before bed is stimulate yourself even more than you already may be with manic symptoms. Cut caffeine intake in the afternoon to sleep better at night.

TL;DR in English: Establish a nightly routine. Limit bedroom activities. Create an optimal sleeping environment. Minimize alcohol and caffeine intake before bed.

After shooting the deer, close the distance between you and the deer to make sure you can deliver another shot if the deer is still alive. Approaching an injured deer is very dangerous, so if you see signs that the deer is still alive, you can either shoot the deer again or wait for it to die.  Do not approach a live deer to slice its throat with a knife. Deer can be very dangerous when injured. Aim about a third of the way up the body of the deer, directly behind the front shoulder when firing a second shot. That’s the vicinity of the deer’s heart. Once you’re sure the deer is dead, you need to clear the firearm before safely setting the weapon aside to clean the deer. Remove the magazine (if present) and clear the chamber or barrel. Make sure to visually confirm that there are no rounds or shells still in the chamber or barrel. Different shotguns and rifles utilize different loading mechanisms. Clearing a muzzleloader, breach loader, pump shotgun, bolt action, or a semi-automatic rifle all require different methods you should be apprised with well before hunting deer. If a game warden approaches you while cleaning your deer, you will be expected to be able to show the tag you’ve attached to the deer. Fill out the required information on the tag (which varies depending on local government but usually includes date and time of the kill) and tie it to the deer in a visible spot.  Most states don’t require the tag be placed anywhere specifically, just as long as its visible.  The tag must stay on the deer until it's done being transported and has been quartered. Chances are good that the deer didn’t die in the best spot to be field cleaned. Grab it by the hind legs and pull the deer to a suitable clearing that is preferably on a slight incline.  Never pick up and carry a dead deer. Other hunters may mistake it for a live one and shoot you. Look for a clear patch of grass with a slight incline. Once you’ve determined where you’ll field dress the deer, remove an article of clothing that’s blaze orange and hang it...

TL;DR in English:


Develop friendships at work. Make your work space as pleasant as possible. Develop a daily ritual. Look for opportunities to be creative.

Casually talk about stuff she likes and dislikes. Start by just having conversations with her. Ask her about her siblings or other little things. For example, "How are Jimmy and Sarah doing?" or, "That blue shirt brings out your eyes." Girls like it when you remember little things.  Find out things you have in common, like a favorite band or sport. That will give you a common subject to talk about. If you go to school together, walk up to her in the halls and say hello after you've talked in class a couple times. You will make a good impression if you do nice things, like holding a door for her to go through or tying her shoe if you notice it has come undone. Do not go out of your way to do these things all the time. She will think it is weird instead of sweet. Many guys prefer to cut to the chase, but if she is worth asking out, it is worth building a friendship. If you ask her out without getting to know her first, she might turn you down just because she doesn't know enough about you to say yes. Text or chat with her for long periods of time. Girls love it when this happens. After you've texted her for a while and you think she's good enough friends with you, try to ask her who she likes. Make sure she asks you too, otherwise it will most likely end up being a different guy. Also try to make it late—that's extra cute! Do you have common interests? Are you around the same age? If you are going to date this girl, make sure that she is someone with whom you actually want to spend a lot of time. It is easy to build up unrealistic fantasies in your head, but it isn't always easy to gauge whether you would truly be happy with someone. Try talking about what motivates her; by doing so, you will create a bond between you two. Ask her and some of your other friends if they would like to go somewhere such as the mall or movies. Eventually if you two are comfortable with each other you could ask her to hang out at your house with a group of people. A group of people will make it seem less awkward.  Don't ask her...

TL;DR in English: Get into conversations. Become friends with her. Text her. Make sure that the two of you are compatible. See if she wants to hang out in a group. Make sure she isn't already interested in or dating someone. Play it cool, but don't make her think that you aren't interested. Invite her to hang out one-on-one.

A good prologue is usually no more than three to four pages total. Read over your draft and trim it down. Remove any details are are not necessary to the overall story or nice to have. Keeping your prologue short and to the point will make it that much more effective and ensure your reader stays engaged enough to move on to chapter 1. The pace of the prologue should be quick and brisk. Avoid over explaining something or giving away too much information to the reader, as you will have an entire novel to do this. You do not need to cram the prologue with information that might fit somewhere else in the novel. Keep only the essential details. One way to check the pace of the prologue is to read it out loud to yourself or to someone else. Mark any run on sentences or awkward moments in the draft and work them over until they sound smooth and to the point. Once you have edited your prologue, you should place it in front of your chapter 1 and look at how it fits. Does it feel like an engaging start? Does it contain any information that is also in chapter 1? Does it strengthen the novel overall? Your prologue should be strong enough to stand on its own, separate from the novel. It should almost read like a short story, with a contained story line and a conflict. However, unlike a short story, the ending of your prologue should remain open. It can introduce a conflict that will be resolved or addressed later in the novel, leaving the reader wanting more.

TL;DR in English: Keep the prologue short and to the point. Make sure the pace is fast and engaging. Look at how the prologue fits with the rest of your novel.

Excessive licking among older dogs can also be associated with compulsive behavioral disorders that are triggered by anxiety or conflict. As your dog ages, they may become more disoriented and anxious. Excessive licking may develop as a compulsive behavior associated with stress. Try and determine what is causing this behavior.  For example, does your dog lick while you are out of the house? Perhaps this is a result of separation anxiety. Maybe they stop and lick themselves when you say “come” because they are unsure if they will be scolded or praised. Try and determine the pattern associated with the compulsive behavior and treat accordingly. If you find your dog’s licking is associated with separation, try to create a comforting environment for them when you leave. There are a number of things you can do to reduce your dog’s stress and anxiety while they are left alone. Try these tips:  Give them a treat to occupy their attention when you leave the house. Provide music and lighting to stimulate them while they are alone. Give them their favourite toy or an article of clothing that smells like you to comfort them. Some older dogs may begin a compulsive behavior, such as licking, out of boredom. Many pet owners will stop playing with and exercising their dog as they get older. They believe that the animal is unable to exert energy and needs to rest. In reality you should continue to stimulate your dog daily. This can help prevent neurological disorders.  Take your dog for a short walk every day. Engage in gentle play with your dog for at least 10 minutes twice daily. If your dog is suffering from anxiety, it is important that you remain patient and calm. Dogs can feel the energy of their human companions. Try to remain calm and be a comforting source for your dog. Here are a few things that you can do to help relax your dog:  Take deep breaths when you are anxious. Talk in a soft and gentle tone around your dog. Make deliberate and predictable movements around your aging dog.

TL;DR in English: Determine the trigger. Create a comforting environment. Play with them daily. Remain calm while your dog is sick.

Your BMR is what you use to calculate your calorie intake. It is based on your age, height, weight, and gender. Most calorie calculators use the Harris-Benedict equation to determine how many calories you should be eating every day.  A male's BMR is usually equal to: 65 + (6.2 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) – (6.8 x age in years) A female's BMR is usually equal to: 655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.3 x height in inches) – (4.7 x age in years) Calorie calculators also factor in your level of activity. If you are very active, for example, with hard exercise almost every day of the week, you may need to consume more calories than if you lead a more sedentary lifestyle, where you do little to no activity. The five different levels of activity are:  Sedentary: You have a desk job where you sit all day long and do little to no exercise every week. Lightly active: You do light exercise such as walking or jogging short distances, or play sports about one to three days a week. Moderately active: You do moderate exercise or play sports occasionally, being around 4 or more days in a week. Very active: You do hard, intense exercise and/or playing sports is almost a daily activity for you. Extremely active: You do intense daily exercise or sports twice or more in a day, and have a physical labor job or are doing a training camp for football or another contact sport. You can put all of the above information in calorie counting tool that will estimate your required calories per day, based on your BMR, available here. Once you have your estimated calorie intake, consider how you will reduce or increase your calorie intake per day based on your fitness goals.  If you are trying to lose weight, reduce your estimated calorie intake by 500 per day. Balance your fitness plan by eating 250 calories less a day and exercising enough to burn 250 calories. For example, walking or running 2.5 miles a day. When planning your meals, cut back on portion sizes to reduce the amount of calories you consume by 250. If you...

TL;DR in English: Find your basic metabolic rate (BMR). Determine how active you are on a weekly basis. Use your BMR and your fitness goals to determine your calorie intake.

Getting to know the people that you work with all day long may improve your sense of happiness at work. You may even make some new friends to spend time with outside of work in the process. Try striking up a conversation with someone new every day that you are at work and try to develop good work relationships the people that you work with most often. For example, you might strike up a conversation with someone in the elevator by saying something like, “Hi. I'm Joe. I don't think we have met before. What's your name?” Or, you can give a coworker a compliment to start up a conversation by saying something like “I thought that the presentation that you gave the other day was outstanding. It really gave me some great ideas. How did you come up with that?” You may enjoy sitting at your desk or working in your work space if the area is inviting. If you are allowed to do so, try adding a few personal touches to your desk or work space. For example, you can place a nice photo of you and your significant other or family, a small plant, or an inspirational figurine. Having something that you look forward to doing every day can improve your feelings about your job. Try to develop a simple daily ritual to add to your workday. For example, you might spend your first break of the day sipping a cup of tea and listening to an audiobook. Or you might make daily ritual out of tossing a coin into a nearby water fountain on your way home from work. Some of the tasks that you need to accomplish each day might be mundane, but you can make them more fun by finding ways to be creative. For example, if you have to arrange clothes on a display, try to make it look as appealing as possible by arranging the colors in a pattern. Or if you have to file some documents, make a game out of it and try to see how quickly you can find each document's file.

Wear eye protection. Obtain a macadamia nut cracker. Shell the nuts.

Assembly will vary, but it will probably involve snapping the leg pieces together before adding small screws to secure the legs in place. There will be tiny holes for the screws.  You can usually rent a piñata tripod from most party supply stores. Make sure you choose a large area with plenty of open space for the piñata, such as an open area of the lawn. Party goers should be able to swing at the piñata in any direction and not be remotely close to hitting anything other than the piñata. Extend the legs evenly on flat ground to ensure it doesn’t wobble or fall over when party guests are using it. Most tripods come with supporting feet at the bottom of the legs, so you don't need to insert the legs into the ground to hold them in place. If the legs are uneven in height, readjust them by realigning their small holes with different screws. A rope should already be attached to the tripod where the top of the legs come together at a point. The rope should have a hook on one end and a bar on the other end that allows you to pull the piñata up to the desired height.  Make sure the rope is dangling in the center of the tripod. Avoid pulling the piñata so high that it's out of reach for your partygoers.They should be able to easily hit the piñata with a stick or bat while standing on the ground. Attach the  hooked end of the rope to the loop on top of the piñata. Grab the other end of the rope by the handle bar and pull it until the piñata is at the desired height. You can hold the rope during the game so that you can adjust the height and create a challenge for the players if you want to, but you don't have to. You can also tie the rope to something sturdy when the piñata is at the desired height.

TL;DR in English: Assemble the tripod’s legs by connecting their pieces together. Stand the tripod upright on the ground. Allow the rope to dangle from the apex of the tripod. Hook the loop on top of the piñata to attach the piñata to the tripod.

If the skin tear causes an open wound, you may need to see a doctor. The doctor can then use medical glue to close the skin tear. This will help the skin tear to heal and prevent the tear from becoming infected. If the skin tear is very painful, the doctor may numb the area before they apply the medical glue. The doctor may also suggest stitches on the skin tear to close the skin. This may be an option if the skin tear is severe and is at risk of infection. The doctor will use a local anesthesia on the area before they stitch it up.

TL;DR in English: Get the doctor to use medical glue on the skin tear. Discuss getting stitches on the skin tear.

This is one of the easiest ways to make a budget that you stick to. Simply compute how much you pay each month for your regular bills. Divide that amount by the number of times you get paid each month to determine how much you should deposit in your bill-paying account from each paycheck. After each pay period, make sure to make the deposits in the proper accounts. Certain items, like car registration, taxes, and insurance payments are often billed once or twice a year, instead of being billed each month. Budget for these too. Simply write down the total of your non-regular bills and divide that number by 12 to determine how much to set aside each month.  So that you won't be tempted to skimp on irregular expenses, it's best to put this money in the same account as you use for your regular bills. That way, the money is there when you need it. Budget for items that you may not buy monthly, such as clothing, so that you always have some money tucked away when you need new items. This is very important, and most financial experts strongly recommend building emergency savings equal to three to six months of take-home income. As soon as you are caught up on bills, this should be your first savings goal. The amount you need to put in will depend on your needs.  For example, if your car insurance policy has a $1,000 deductible, then always keep at least $1,000 in your emergency account just in case you have a car accident.

TL;DR in English: Create separate accounts for bills and for discretionary funds. Budget for bills that you don't regularly pay. Keep an emergency savings account in case of disaster.

Take a few minutes to laugh either by yourself or with others. Whether it's a short 2-minute video of a cat wearing pants or a feature length comedy, laughing has many health benefits:  Laughter stimulates many organs. When we laugh we take in more oxygen than usual, and that stimulates the heart, lungs, and muscles. Laughing increases positive thoughts, leading to the release of stress and disease-fighting neuropeptides. Laughter itself increases mood and leads to feelings of enhanced interpersonal connection when shared with others. When you have negative or nervous feelings, it is hard to stop yourself from wallowing in them. Crack a big smile. It might be fake at first, but think about something that genuinely makes you smile, and keep working at it. A great big smile will momentarily trick your mind into thinking more positively, helping pull you out of a rut. Power posing is a way of holding your body to convey confident and dominant body language. In turn, this can help make your mood more relaxed and confident. For example, when speaking in a meeting, cross your arms across your chest and sit up straight. If you are closing a deal, show that you are engaged by standing, leaning forward, and resting your hands on a table while looking at the client or other individual.

TL;DR in English: Start laughing. Smile when you feel nervous. Try power posing.

Macadamia nuts are known for being difficult to remove from their shells. Wear safety glasses or goggles to shield your eyes from any bits of shell that may go flying during this process. Basic protective equipment can be purchased at nearly any drug or grocery store. A device made specifically for the task of cracking macadamia nuts will assist you in shelling these difficult nuts. The device is made to crack the shell while preserving the integrity of the nut inside. These may be difficult to find in local stores, so order one online through Amazon or another online seller if you cannot find any in a store near you. Using your nut cracker, begin cracking the shells. Most crackers will have you pull or turn a crank that will put an immense amount of pressure on the nut until it finally cracks. Once it has cracked, peel away the rest of the shell to expose the nut inside. Throw away the bits of shell and store the nut in a bowl or container nearby.

TL;DR in English:


Choose quality footwear. Match your belt with your shoes. Buy cufflinks. Add a watch. Invest in a great briefcase.

The best way to get a sense of the proper use of the word "only" is to make your own "practice"  sentences and note what "only" is modifying in each case.   For example, consider these six different placements of "only" in the same sentence: "Only I like dancing at a party". "I only like dancing at a party". "I like only dancing at a party". "I like dancing only at a party". "I like dancing at only a party". "I like dancing at a party only". For example: "Only I like dancing at a party". In this sentence, "only" is modifying the subject "I". You are saying that you ("I") are the only person who likes to dance at a party.  You could view this sentence another way: "Only John danced at the party". In this construction no one but John danced at the party. If this is the intended meaning, that John was the only dancer at the party, you would place "only" at the beginning of the sentence so that it modifies "John". For example: "I only like dancing at a party". In this sentence, "only" is modifying the verb "like". This sentence is saying that "I" is doing nothing other than liking dancing at a party. "I" isn't praising, criticizing or ignoring dancing at a party, s/he is simply liking it. Using "only" to modify a verb is less common than using it to modify a noun or pronoun.   The third "practice" sentence above -- "I like only dancing at a party" -- means that the person likes dancing and no other activities (talking, eating, etc) at a party. In the fourth sentence above, "only" could be seen as modifying "dancing" or "at a party". Because the distinction could be important, in speech you would have the option of orally stressing the word or words being modified. In the fifth sentence above, "only" modifies "a party", meaning no other location or event. This is a clearer usage than the fourth sentence. The final sentence above places "only" after "party". It more clearly expresses the same meaning as the previous sentence. You could look at these placements in a different situation or setting. For example: "John...

TL;DR in English: Create examples of the different ways to use "only" in a sentence. Use "only" in front of a subject to modify the subject. Place "only" before the verb in a sentence to modify the verb. Use "only" in front of a second verb in a sentence to modify the second verb. Place "only" in front of the ending phrase in a sentence to modify the phrase. Try searching your document (if it is on a word processor) for the word "only".

Bring a notebook and pen to the speech, so you can make note of areas that need improvement. Writing down a shorthand account of what the speaker said will help you to organize the points when it’s time to deliver your critique. Being as detailed as possible in your notes will help the speaker understand exactly what to work on for next time.  If there are no restrictions against it and you have time, record the speech using either a video camera or a tape recorder. This way, you will have the opportunity to play back the speech more than once to get an idea of what point the speaker was making, as well as how well they said it.  Organize your notes so there’s a section on content and a section on delivery. Include examples to back up your evaluation of each. Deconstruct the speech by part, starting with the introduction and ending with the conclusion. Give an overall evaluation of whether you felt the main points of the speech were adequately presented and reinforced, and whether you felt the speech as a whole seemed convincing and credible. Would you consider it a successful speech, or does it need to be revised?  Tell the speaker what elements of the speech were interesting, which parts were confusing, and which areas need more references to back them up. If there were certain jokes or anecdotes that didn’t work, let the speaker know. It’s better to be honest now than to let the person tell the same bad joke twice. Tell the speaker whether you felt the speech was appropriate for the intended audience. It is in this area that speakers often need the most feedback, since it’s difficult to evaluate your own body language and style. Give the speaker a gentle but honest critique of the effectiveness of his or her body language and delivery, including tone of voice, pacing, eye contact, and posture.  It might be helpful to discuss the concept of  emotional intelligence, or EQ, which refers to the ability to read an audience and keep people engaged by affecting their emotions. The point of making eye contact,...

TL;DR in English: Take detailed notes during the speech. Discuss your assessment of the speech’s content. Give feedback on the speaker’s delivery. Point out the positive, too.

There are 4 stages of change according to the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change. Identifying which stage you are in can help you determine whether you are ready to make a change or if you need more motivation.   Pre-contemplation stage: This stage is when there is a problem but you are not aware of it or you are denying it. Nobody is perfect; everyone has flaws and needs to constantly work on them. If you don't admit your flaws courageously, you would block any possibility of improvement,  Contemplation: You are aware of a problem and are contemplating changing it. People can become stuck on this step for a long time until they move on. You may be in this stage if you are still deciding what to change about yourself. Or maybe you are afraid of change; in that case, understand that changing is an essential part of growth which you should embrace.  Preparation: You have committed to change and are making a plan of action. You may be in this stage if you are working on your goals.  Action: Making the changes. You are in this stage if you are working on your plan on a daily basis. You have a plan and are currently moving toward your goal.  Maintenance: You have completed your goal and are maintaining your progress. Self-coaching or checking in with yourself on a daily basis has been linked to increases in self-improvement, especially in terms of leadership qualities. Daily check-ins facilitate awareness of your current performance and your ability to achieve goals.  Ask yourself questions like, “Did I focus on or work toward my goals today? Did I have a positive attitude today? Was I kind to myself today? Did I accept my challenges today? Did I change something for the better today?” Whatever it is that you're trying to improve, take time to practice regularly. If you find that self-coaching is not helping and you need some outside support, life-coaching has been associated with positive change, and goal-realization. Additionally, therapists and psychologists are typically trained in interventions to...

TL;DR in English: Make sure you are ready to change. Be your own coach. Consider outside help. Practice, practice, practice!

Pick a leather Oxford or other quality leather dress shoe in the same tone or darker than your suit. Care for your dress shoes by regularly cleaning and polishing. Socks should either match the color of the shoe or be a shade darker than the suit so they don’t stand out when legs are crossed. Pair a quality leather belt with matching color shoes and buckle that is not too showy. Ideally, the buckle’s metal will match the metal features of your watch or ring. Buy a reversible belt with brown and black sides to easily pair with either shoe color. Wear cufflinks to fasten your shirt sleeves closed and to provide a little extra ornament to your outfit. Choose ones that will complement your suit or match the color of your tie. Invest in a classic leather band watch if you wish, preferably that matches the color of your belt and shoes. You can also add a ring to your ensemble, but any jewelry beyond that is usually too much. Choose a brown or black shade of leather to match the color of shoe and belt you most often wear, and polish like you would shoes.
