Play the same note (you can start with all finger holes open) as another fife player or an electronic or online tuner to get the right pitch. Roll the instrument in toward your mouth if your note is too sharp. Roll it out if it is too flat.  Experiment rolling slowly in and out on the same note to hear how it changes in pitch. The pitch doesn’t matter so much if you’re just playing by yourself, but you’ll need to tune anytime you start playing with another fife or instrument. Make a C sharp note by simply keeping all of the finger holes open and applying steady breath into the instrument. Roll the fife slightly in or out to see if it sounds sharp or flat compared to another player or a tuner.  Try a middle C# by using the same fingering but blowing harder. Tighten your lips to push a harder stream of air from your mouth. This is generally how to achieve a note in a higher octave. Remember that these notes are for a standard fife, which has 6 holes and is in a Bb key. Look up notes and tuning for your specific instrument if it is in a different key or style. Play a D note by covering every finger hole and blowing an even, steady breath into the blow hole. Use this note to tune with another player or a tuner by rolling the fife further in or out from your mouth to change the pitch.  Try to hold your fingers firmly over each hole, closing it completely to prevent air from getting through. Keep this in mind for every note you learn how to play. Remember that these notes are for a standard fife, which has 6 holes and is in a Bb key. Look up notes and tuning for your specific instrument if it is in a different key or style. Learn the proper fingering for nearly any note on the fife with a simple fingering chart. You may want to learn the basics of understanding musical notes, but you don’t have to.  The typical complete fingering chart for a standard fife ranges from a low F (all but the second to last hole covered) to a high B (the first, third, and fifth hole covered).  Experiment with playing every note you can....

TL;DR in English: Tune the instrument first. Try a low C#. Try a low D. Follow a fingering chart for the fife.

Scientists argue that physical activity helps people to cope with stress, mild depression and anxiety by causing chemical changes in the brain which can help to positively alter mood. Taking regular exercise can also improve wellbeing by raising self-esteem and self-control.  Adults should try to include 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week into their schedule.  After a long day of work, just a short walk can help you to feel better and put the stress of the day behind you. Be creative about the activity you do. You don’t have to just run around in circles or swim laps. Often getting involved in team sports can be a more fun way to exercise. As well as getting regular exercise you should also make sure you give yourself the chance to do other things you enjoy. For example, this could be going to the movies, going for a coffee with a friend, or playing with your dog. Doing fun activities will take you away from stressful environments and allow you to let your hair down for a while.  If you can achieve a good balance in your lifestyle you could find your stress levels dropping. Having a good work-life balance is very important for lowering your stress and achieving your best. Neglecting friendships will only make you more stressed in the long-term. As well as doing the activities that you enjoy, be on the look-out for new potential hobbies and activities. Yoga is a great option that combines physical activity, relaxation techniques, and a quiet and peaceful environment. It has been shown to work well in the reduction of stress and anxiety in scientific experiments.  There are a wide-range of possibilities to suit all ages and all fitness conditions, so don’t think it is only for the young and athletic.  Look up a course near you and speak to the instructor about the different options before signing up.

TL;DR in English: Enjoy regular exercise. Make time to do the things you like. Take up yoga.

In order to calculate the list price, or the original price, of an item on sale, you need to know what the sale price is, and what the discount percent is. For example, you might know that a sweater is on sale for $51.75 after a 25% discount. Remember that percents are hundredths, so to convert, either divide the percent by 100, or simply place a decimal after the number and move it two places to the left. For example, 25% expressed as a decimal is .25. Use the formula S=P−PD{\displaystyle S=P-PD}, where S{\displaystyle S} equals the sale price of the item, P{\displaystyle P} equals the original price of the item, and D{\displaystyle D} equals the discount percent of the item. Make sure you substitute for the variable S{\displaystyle S}. For example, if the sales price is $51.75, your formula will look like this: 51.75=P−PD{\displaystyle 51.75=P-PD}. Make sure you use the decimal form of the discount, and substitute for the variable D{\displaystyle D}. For example, if the item is 25% off, your formula will look like this: 51.75=P−P(.25){\displaystyle 51.75=P-P(.25)}. To do this, pull out the variable P{\displaystyle P}. For example:51.75=P−P(.25){\displaystyle 51.75=P-P(.25)}51.75=P(1−.25){\displaystyle 51.75=P(1-.25)} This will give you the percent of the item’s original price that the sales price represents. For example, 1−.25=.75{\displaystyle 1-.25=.75}. So, if an item is 25% off, you would only pay 75% of the original price to purchase the item on sale. Your formula will look like this: 51.75=P(.75){\displaystyle 51.75=P(.75)}. This will give you the value of P{\displaystyle P}, the list price of the item. For example:51.75=P(.75){\displaystyle 51.75=P(.75)}51.75.75=P(.75).75{\displaystyle {\frac {51.75}{.75}}={\frac {P(.75)}{.75}}}69=P{\displaystyle 69=P}So the original price of a sweater marked $51.75 after a 25% discount is $69.00.

TL;DR in English: Assess what information you know. Convert the discount percent to a decimal. Set up an equation for finding the original price of a discounted item. Plug the sale price into the formula. Plug the discount percent into the formula. Use the distributive property to simplify the formula. Complete the calculation in parentheses. Divide each side of the equation by the percent of the original price.

Press Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard to open a Terminal window. Alternatively, you can go to "Applications" and select "Accessories." From this folder, locate "Terminal" and double-click to open up the Terminal window. Note that the Secure-Delete package of tools is available for Ubuntu and several other distributions of Linux, but may not be available for all Linux-based platforms. Within the Terminal, type apt-get install secure-delete. Hit ↵ Enter to instruct the Terminal to install the package. This package comes with four different commands.  The one you need for the purpose of permanently deleting files from your computer is srm or "secure remove." Other options include smem (secure memory wiper) which wipes traces of data from the computer's memory, sfill (secure free space wiper) which wipes all traces of data from the free space on your disk, and sswap (secure swap wiper) which wipes all traces of data from your swap partition. To delete a file using the secure remove command, type srm myfile.txt in the Terminal. Replace myfile.txt with the actual name of your file. This will delete an entire directory rather than specific files. The package includes several other options:  Type 'smem in the Terminal. Type sfill mountpoint/ in the Terminal. Type cat /proc/swaps in the Terminal. After typing your command, hit ↵ Enter. The utility should run and permanently, securely delete the file or directory specified in your instructions. You should receive a confirmation message within the Terminal once the action is complete and the data is gone for good. (In Ubuntu or some other dist. of linux you may receive the message "Couldn't find a free filename for 'dir' " but the process will be complete and your directory will be removed/shredded).

Be confident. Don't present yourself with a bad attitude. Expect things to be different. Enjoy your day! Chill out when the day is over.

If your pain is severe, you are likely breathing rapidly and shallowly. In contrast,  controlled deep breathing (breathing from the diaphragm and exhaling from the chest) has been shown to harness the parasympathetic nervous system's “quieting response.”  Lay down in a quiet room. Turn off any distractions and reduce any exterior factors that may over-stimulate you. You may choose to close your eyes or focus them on a specific point.  Try to focus on nothing but inhalation and exhalation. If you can realize that you are in control of your body and take charge of your own breathing, you may be better able to prevent the pain from controlling you. Once you are breathing deeply, muscle relaxation may come naturally. Try to let go of all feeling in your body and remain focused only on breathing. Women practicing Lamaze breathing techniques in childbirth are utilizing the benefits of controlling breathing to lessen pain. If deep diaphragmatic breathing alone fails to provide you with relief, there are other options for calming tight muscles and the pain that accompanies them.  Progressive relaxation has been shown to be an effective form of muscle relaxation that requires no external stimuli. Begin with your toes, then work you way up through the muscles in the rest of the body until you reach your face. For each muscle, first slowly contract the muscle, then relax it, waiting until it is fully released before moving upward. When your mind alone fails to bring muscle relation, consider adding pressure point therapy. Research shows that finding pressure points associated with your specific type of pain and compressing them with your fingers reduces muscle tension, thereby alleviating pain. Be careful not to continue activating a pressure point if it seems to be worsening your pain when you remove your fingers, however.

TL;DR in English: Take a breath. Take the next step.

If you have no qualms about using bold color to make your lips look great, it's important to know how to choose the right shades to match your complexion. Every skin tone can be classified as warm, cool, or neutral. Learn more about your skin "temperature" to choose the right lipstick.  If your coloring looks best in earth tones, warm yellows and reds, and gold jewelry, your skin is warm. Choose lipstick with warm undertones, like browns, orange-reds, coral pinks, and creamy neutrals. If you tend to look best in jewel tones, navy blue, and silver jewelry, your skin is cool. Choose lipstick with cool undertones, like plums, cherry reds, lavender pinks, and pearly neutrals.

. If you've only got room for one knife in the kitchen, make it an all purpose knife. Good for chopping, slicing, and doing any number of other jobs, a good-quality utility kitchen knife is the most versatile tool you can have in the kitchen. Even if the rest of your tools are cheap and dull, a good kitchen knife will keep you cooking. There's no "best knife" or perfect knife for the kitchen. If you're in the market for a good set of knives, consider investing in a single good knife and other cheaper subsidiary knives. You can do most important cutting jobs in the kitchen with a basic kitchen knife, about 5 inches (12.7 cm) long, triangular, and made of stainless steel or other material. Chefs' knives are also sometimes just referred to as "kitchen knives" and are heavy-duty blades. For some cooks, a good chefs' knife is the only slicing tool necessary in the kitchen, useful for doing careful small slices into fruit, smashing bulbs of garlic, and chopping onions, not much use for stirring though! Kitchen knives can be made from ceramic, steel or polycarbonate blends in a variety of styles. Western-style kitchen knives tend to be broader and more chopping-oriented, while Japanese-style kitchen knives are sleeker and typically stronger steel. Paring knives are another extremely common kitchen implement, usually quite small and used for peeling and slicing, but won't usually be used for chopping or other major knife skills in the kitchen. Paring knives are good especially for fresh fruits, useful for cutting up an apple, pear, or stone fruits. Serrated knives are particularly useful for slicing bread. There's nothing more frustrating than baking a hefty loaf of soft brown bread and smashing it with a kitchen knife, trying to slice it. A serrated knife is also excellent for carving roasted meat joints and other items, making it a helpful addition to the kitchen.

TL;DR in English: Invest in an all-purpose kitchen utility knife Use a chef’s knife for chopping, mincing, and dicing. Use a paring knife for peeling fruits and vegetables. Use a bread knife for slicing.

Confidence is a likable trait. Having confidence will earn you a lot of friends. It also boosts your popularity.   A good way to become confident is by practicing. A good way to practice is by standing in front of a mirror. Look yourself in the eyes, read out a passage that motivates you. Relax and try to gesticulate as much as you can. If you do this enough, you will start to do it around other people too. Averting your eyes and not looking directly at the person is taken as shy and definitely not confident. Always have a smile on your face. If you act-up as if you're angry, you may give yourself a bad reputation to be overcoming and undoing for weeks/months, or all year (bringing unnecessary stress on yourself). For some, the first day of school may be a pain. Try to make it more enjoyable (or at least bearable)  by waking up an hour early and getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep. In the morning, shower (if you didn't the night before.) Do the usual class routines. Check your TV guide and see when your favorite show is on, have a snack and do your homework so you can watch your show. If it's on pretty soon, have a quick snack, set your recorder to record the show -- then do your homework. After that, call or text your friends and swap first day stories!   Make time to think about the day, what interested you and what could have been better. Write certain observations and develop a thought process for good and bad events in life.

There are a few things you'll need to clean your windows without streaks. In terms of cleaning solution, your best bets are water and dish soap, water and vinegar, or a professional window cleaner of your choice. The tools and equipment you'll need include:  Vinegar or a mineral deposit cleaner for stubborn stains Scraper or razor for stickers, tape, paint, and sap Vacuum Sponge or lint-free cloth Sharp rubber squeegee for drying A few clean, lint-free rags or cloths Large bucket To clean a window so it has no streaks, it’s important to start by removing everything from the surface of the glass, including built-up dirt, bird droppings, stickers, tape, paint, sap, and other stubborn marks.  Stubborn stains and grime can be removed with white vinegar or a mineral deposit cleaner. Either spray the stains with vinegar and let it sit for five minutes before wiping, or clean the area with a sponge that’s wet with the mineral cleaner. To remove tape, paint, and sticky messes, wet the area and use a scraper to remove the tape. Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle to the glass, and press gently as you move forward underneath the tape. When you're cleaning your windows, your sponge can pick up dust and dirt from around the window and create streaks. To prevent this, you should vacuum or clean the sills, sashes, and frames before washing.  For inside windows, use a small brush attachment and vacuum all around the windows. For outside windows, use either a vacuum with a long hose attachment, a portable vacuum, or a pressure washer. Outdoor windows are frequently bombarded with dust, dirt, and debris from the outside world. The best way to prevent that dirt from leaving streaks on your clean windows is by removing as much of it as possible before you start cleaning. Use a hose outfitted with a spray nozzle and spray all the outdoor windows to remove dirt, grime, and other buildup. You can use any cleaning solution you prefer, even for streak-free windows. The technique and tools you use are more important than the...

Talk to any friends or acquaintances you have in common and ask them if they happen to know when the person’s birthday is. Even if they can’t tell you off the top of their head, they may offer to try and find out for you, which will keep you from having to ask the person yourself.  Try saying something like “I think Richard’s birthday is coming up soon. Would you happen to know what day it’s on?” If you’re planning on surprising the person, be sure to mention it to your connection. Otherwise, they might let the cat out of the bag accidentally. A coworker will likely have the information you’re looking for, especially if they’ve worked with the person for multiple years. If not, speak with your boss in private and request their help in finding out. They may be able to consult the company’s employee records on your behalf. You might also be able to discover a coworker’s birthday in the process of seeking permission to throw an office party for them. Try asking something like, “Would it be alright if we planned a small party for Naomi’s birthday? Do you know exactly what day it is?” If the person is a close friend, appeal to one of their relatives. It’s as simple as saying “I’m drawing a complete blank. When is John’s birthday again?” Chances are, they’ll be more than happy to jog your memory. You should only reach out to someone’s family members if you’ve known them personally and have had contact with them in the past. Otherwise, your harmless request may be perceived as an invasion of privacy.

TL;DR in English: Consult your mutual friends. Ask your boss or another coworker if you work with the person. Get help from the person’s family if you know them well enough.

If you want to protect your table, desk, or countertop from getting covered with glue, it's a good idea to put down a protective layer before you get started with your project. A craft mat is a great way to protect any work surface, but layers of newspaper will work if you don't have a mat. You could also tear a trash bag along 2 of the seams and lay it down if you don't have any newspaper or a craft mat. When it comes to decoupage, there’s no right or wrong. If you like a design, you can use it! You can choose several smaller pieces to put together, you can opt to lay down one larger sheet, or you can layer multiple pieces with a background—whatever works for you. Once you decide what you want to use, cut out the image to fit the glass.  If you’re decoupaging a curved piece of glass, remember to account for the curve when you’re deciding what size to cut your paper. Avoid using glossy images, like magazine pages. The coating on the paper can cause the image to bleed when you apply the glue. When you apply the wet decoupage glue to your paper, it will become fragile, and it may tear. If you only have 1 copy of your paper, a small tear could ruin your whole project. If you make a copy of the image, you can just start over if you make a mistake.  An image from a laser printer is less likely to bleed than one from an inkjet printer. Also, if you’re using vintage images, they may not accept glue well, so a laser copy will actually adhere to the glass better. If your only option is to use an inkjet printer, use low-moisture content glue.

TL;DR in English: Lay a craft mat or newspapers on your work surface to protect it. Choose and cut out your images. Make laser printer copies if you only have 1 copy of your artwork.

Once you click on return, eBay should give you return labels. You'll have a return shipping label, which will go on the outside of the package, as well as a return packing slip, which will go on the inside of the package. In some cases, you may need to wait on eBay to contact the seller. Usually, you'll only need to wait if the package is large or hard to ship. You may also need to wait if you need to send the package internationally. Repack the item to get it ready to ship, placing the packing slip inside. You can put it back in the same package if it is still suitable for shipping. You just need to make sure the old shipping label is fully covered up by the new shipping label. Don't forget to seal up the item with packing tape. You don't want the box to come undone in transit. Once you've repackaged it, all that's left to do is to mail it back. If your using the eBay mailing slip, you should be able to just hand it off to the carrier. Make sure to mail it back within 5 business days of printing the label. If you don't use eBay's shipping labels, such as if the seller sends you a return label, try to include tracking if possible. That way, if there's a dispute, you have some evidence of when the package was returned. When using an eBay shipping label, you'll get tracking information, so that you know when it reaches the seller. Once the seller has gotten the item, you should receive a refund within 6 business days. For a replacement item, the seller should mail it within 5 days of receiving the request, not the item.

TL;DR in English: Print out the return labels. Wait on the seller. Package up the item. Put it in the mail. Wait for it to reach the seller.

Cut a 3 by 12-inch (7.6 by 30.5-cm) strip from cardstock. Fold the paper back and forth to create a 3 by 3-inch (7.6 by 7.6-cm) square. Print out 2 by 2-inch (5.1 by 5.1-cm) photos of yourself and the recipient, then glue them to each panel. Write messages under each photo or on the back of each panel.  For a nicer touch, don't add a photo to the first panel. Decorate the panel with Valentine's day stickers and illustrations instead. Red, pink, or purple cardstock will work the best. You may have to tape 2 sheets together to make it long enough. Don't use original photos. Scan them into your computer, then resize and crop them as needed. Get some printer paper and fold it into a paper airplane. Write a Valentine's day message on the wings using a red, pink, or purple marker. Decorate the wings and body with Valentine's day stickers for a nicer touch.  For a more colorful airplane, cut a sheet of Valentine's day patterned scrapbooking paper into an 8 1/2 by 11-inch (22 by 28-cm) rectangle, and use that instead. Alternatively, write your message on the back of the paper before you fold it into an airplane. The recipient will have to open it in order to read it. Trace your notebook onto cardstock or scrapbooking paper. Cut the shape out, then glue it to the front of your notebook. Decorate the cover with Valentine's day stickers or illustrations. Open the notebook and write a message on the first page.  The notebook should be small, about 2 by 4 inches (5.1 by 10.2 cm). Red, pink, or purple cardstock are great choices. You can also use Valentine's day patterned scrapbooking paper instead. If you don't have paper, cover the front of the notebook with strips of patterned washi tape. Cut 2 identical heart shapes out of red, white, pink, or purple felt. Use embroidery thread in a contrasting color to write your message on 1 heart. Place the hearts together with the message on the front. Sew around the edges of the heart using a blanket stitch and more embroidery thread.  Choose a Valentine's day color for the...

Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of microorganisms in the intestines. There are some indications that consuming additional probiotics in supplement form can aid in digestion by bolstering the amount of beneficial bacteria found in the intestines. Probiotics are also in many different types of foods, so if you’d rather not take a supplement, you can get the benefits of probiotics by incorporating probiotic foods into your diet.  In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate probiotic supplements as a drug, there are certain things that you should look for when choosing a probiotic supplement. Make sure that you can find the following information on the label:  genus, species, and strain of the probiotic (such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) number of organisms that will be alive by the use-by date dose company name and contact information   The types of different probiotic strains within the supplement are very important. Some people react to certain bacteria strains better than others. For this reason, a probiotic with several different strains should be chosen. Over-the-counter digestive enzymes may aid in digestion by supplementing the body's naturally occurring enzymes.

This is optional, but as we talk about colors, is an important suggestion to offer. Bleaching the hair provides a clean slate for colors and dyes to show up in their brightest hues possible. This should of course be done by a professional if possible to decrease likelihood of hair damage. This is a two-step process consisting of: 1) which colors you want your hair to be and 2) what hair sections you want as these colors. Bright, edgy colors typically associated with scene hair include pink, blue, and purple. This gives room for mistakes and allows you to learn what colors you like for your cut and style. It is also less harsh on your hair than permanent dyes so it promotes less damage to your hair. Once you’ve decided on something permanent, go to a colorist to achieve a more permanent version of your look in the least damaging way possible.  You can have the entirety of your hair one color, have the lower section a different color than the upper section, or you can have single strand highlights. Get creative! Popular scene hair colors for the main section of your hair include bleach blonde and dark brown/black but whatever color you like best is fine. You can also keep your entire hair your natural color if that is more to your liking. Natural-colored hair dyes can easily be purchased at grocery stores, while other colors may require you to go to specialty shops. You can always have your hair colored at a salon as well. Follow the movement of your layers to act as a guide to applying the dye. If you’re at home and using packaged dye, follow the instructions and timing correctly to ensure your best color result.  Apply petroleum jelly on your hairline, around your ears, and at the base of your neck to keep dye off of your skin. Wear protective gloves to further prevent staining your skin. Prevent staining by using a towel over your shoulders. Do not wash your hair the day of dyeing your hair, to help your scalp keep its oils and its moisture. Use a water bottle to dampen your hair and promote even coloring.

TL;DR in English: Bleach your hair. Decide on the colors for your hair. Start with temporary hair colors. Use small clips to section off hair.

Your bra straps should be doing minimal work to hold up your breasts--a properly fit bra band should provide almost total support. If the band is too loose, you may be tightening your straps to pick up the slack, causing them to gouge into your shoulders.  Your bra band should be snug, but no so tight that you can't slide a finger between the fabric and your skin at the front of your bra.  The band should be parallel to the floor and sit no higher than the bottom of your shoulder blades.  If you measure your bust and find your bra band is the right size but still too loose, then it's simply too old and needs to be replaced. If your cup size is too large, you may be tightening your straps too much to keep the cups from looking pointy or to pull the them flat against your chest.  If your cup size is too small, the straps may not be long enough to accommodate your breasts and be pulled tight, gouging your shoulders. A bra in the correct size will have cups that lie smooth and flat against your chest, without pinching or causing your breasts to overflow from the sides or top.  If the center panel of the bra (the part between the cups) doesn't lie flat against your breastbone, your cups may be too small, forcing you to tighten your straps to a painful degree. Many full-support bras come with wider straps, which distribute weight better than thin straps and provide more comfort. Even with a properly fitted bra, thin straps can sometimes still be painful for women with larger breasts. Try to avoid them when possible. If your bra fits properly but the straps are still causing you discomfort, invest in cushioning designed specifically for bra straps. They fit under or around your straps and should mold against your skin so they are not obvious under your clothes. Some bra straps, especially wider straps, come with build-in cushioning for added comfort.

TL;DR in English: Check that the bra band is the right size. Make sure your cup size is correct. Wear a bra with wider straps. Buy a cushion to wear under your straps.

Realize that all things in an economic system have costs. These costs can be realized in real substantial terms or in the terms of trade-offs. Nothing is free. All benefits come at some sort of cost to someone. For example, if the residents of a community pay to maintain a park, other people who live outside the community but use the park are “free riders” – they do not realize costs associated with maintaining the park. Many economists are dedicated to the idea that correlation is not causation. What this means is that just because two things appear similar or appear to be connected, doesn't mean they are. Two things that appear related may not be related at all. For example, the fact that the number of radios owned by Americans in the early twentieth century increased along with the number of squirrels living in Central Park in New York City does not dictate a connection or causal relationship between the two. Before taking any action, understand that it may have repercussions that you may not anticipate. What this means is that economists – or anyone else – can’t predict an outcome because there are often unforeseen interactions that occur. For example, if a government lowers taxes with the intent of stimulating the economy, it could harm the economy because tax revenues along with government expenditures would decrease – harming industries that are dependent on government contracts.

TL;DR in English:


Size up the scene. Obtain consent before providing care. Evaluate vital functions. Check the airway. Assess breathing. Assess circulation. Call for help.

TMD typically involve pain in the temporomandibular joint, located at the intersection of the upper and lower jaws. Other symptoms include:  Radiating pain in the face, as well as through the jaw and neck line  Stiffness in the jaw muscles  Reduced or limited movement in the jaw  Popping or grating in the jaw, usually accompanied by pain  A misalignment between the upper and lower rows of teeth Only a professional medical expert can determine whether you have a TMD. Though there is not a clear-cut "test" to arrive at or rule out TMD, a doctor will generally evaluate the symptoms you are experiencing, and may order an X-ray to further examine the temporomandibular joint. Though it may take time to arrive at a diagnosis of a TMD, your doctor may first need to rule out other causes of jaw and face pain, including sinus infections, ear infections and neuralgia, which causes pain in the face due to nerve inflammation. Once your doctor has diagnosed you with TMD, he will probably recommend a course of action. There are a number of options available, and what your doctor recommends will probably depend on your symptoms as well as your personal medical history.  Pain relievers, both over-the-counter and prescription-strength, may be recommended to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.  Muscle relaxants may be recommended by your doctor over a short period of time (ranging from a few days to several weeks) to help alleviate pain and reduce muscle tension in the jaw.  Sedatives may be prescribed to aid in sleeping at night, especially if TMJ pain flares up during sleep.  Corticosteroid injections may be recommended to help ease pain and reduce inflammation. Wearing a bite guard can help reduce pain and may make it easier to live with pain.

TL;DR in English: Understand the symptoms. Getting a diagnosis. Treat TMD symptoms. Wear a bite guard.

Your spouse doesn’t have to be parental right off the bat. Try having your spouse relate to the child as more of a camp counselor than a parent. Focus on creating a bond first before moving into a disciplinarian role. Ask your spouse to develop a relationship together, just the two of them, that doesn’t involve you.  You can discuss with your spouse to remain responsible for your child’s control and discipline until your spouse and child develop a solid bond.  Your spouse may monitor your child’s behavior and report back to you instead of intervening. Discuss what roles who will play. Will your spouse co-parent your child, or will parenting remain your responsibility? Discuss your desires, the desires of your spouse, and what you believe will be best for your child. Inevitably there will be difficulties in adjusting to a new family structure.  Be clear in your spouse’s role with your child. Is your spouse allowed to mediate fights? Can your spouse punish your child? What consequences and rules can your spouse enforce? You may need to think in terms of a timeline. Perhaps you may parent one way now, then slowly transition to different roles over time once the family feels more cohesive. Know that it will take time for your children to adjust to new living arrangements. This is especially true if you are combining your children with your partner’s children. Don’t try to set up different rules right away; instead, keep many similar family rules and ask your partner to follow them as well. Slowly, start to adjust things as they suit your family. Positive spousal relations and low conflict in the marriage helps children adjust better. While fighting is a normal and often healthy part of a marriage, avoid involving your child in the fight or fighting in front of the child. Reassure your child that fighting sometimes happens, but that it doesn’t change things or mean that you will get divorced or that the child is causing the fights. Try to find time to disagree when your child is not home. A remarriage is harder...

TL;DR in English: Ask your spouse to create a relationship with your child. Discuss parenting with your new spouse. Move slowly in blending families. Avoid fighting in front of your child. Stay aware of your child’s development.

It can be tempting to coo back at your baby when they make silly sounds at you. However, it's better to respond with words so your baby starts learning them. When your baby coos, you can say things like, "Pretty boy!" or "Smart girl!" Try using a high pitch voice and make sure to draw out your syllables. It can also help to narrate what you're doing throughout the day, as that encourages your baby to learn more words. The more words you speak to your baby, the more they take in over time. That is, if you only use short sentences like "Stop that!," those words are the only ones your child hears. Instead, try to have continuing conversations with your baby, engaging them as much as you can based on their age. Don't rely on videos to do the speaking for you. Babies learn much better when people speak to them and interact with them in person rather than through a video. As your baby is getting older, asking them questions can get them thinking about the world. Before babies can speak, they can nod yes or no in response to a question. They can also offer other nonverbal replies. Treat any kind of nonverbal response as a reply, and continue the conversation accordingly. Pick age-appropriate books that are bright and colorful, and then sit down and read them with your baby. Also, point at pictures and make appropriate sounds. For instance, make each of the animal sounds you see in a book about animals. Another way you can help develop language is to sing little songs to your baby throughout the day. They don't even need to be "real" songs; they can just be little made-up tunes about what you're doing. Singing helps increase your baby's language skills, as it encourages them to learn new words.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your baby. Expand your sentences. Ask your baby questions. Read to your baby. Sing to your baby.

If you're not used to working at home, then your environment may not be well-suited to take an interview over a phone call. Make sure to turn off any music, television, or alarms that may interrupt the interview.  If you have children or pets, make sure they are in the other room so you can concentrate on answering the questions. Do not have an instant messenger or website open while answering questions on the interview. Get a pen and paper ready in case you need to write anything down. Keyboard clicks can be loud and distracting during an interview. A benefit of having a phone interview is that the employer won't be able to see you. This is a significant advantage because you can create a cheat sheet before your interview that will help you stay on track during the interview. Your cheat sheet can include valuable information about the company or the position you're applying to. Also, you can have your pre-written answers in front of you.  Do not respond to questions word for word by reading off your cheat sheet. Try to make your responses as natural sounding as possible. Hit the major points that you've outlined in your cheat sheet and adapt depending on the interviewer's questions. Because the interview is over the phone, your speaking demeanour becomes even more important. The person interviewing you won't have anything else to go on other than the sound of your voice and the way that you answer their questions. Do not mumble and speak loudly enough so the hiring manager can hear you. Make sure to pronounce words and take your time to think about your answers. The person interviewing you may have a speech that's been prepared, so allow them to speak. Many times they will inform you about the company or describe the duties you'll need to fulfill in the position. Asking a few follow-up questions shows your interest and tells the interviewer that you're paying attention.  While a silence may feel awkward, it's better than going on an unrelated tangent and dominating the conversation. Smile as you answer your...

TL;DR in English: Turn off distractions. Prepare a cheat sheet. Speak clearly and enunciate your words. Listen and don't dominate the conversation. Take the interview seriously. Ensure that your phone and connection are reliable.

While you may be eager to help the injured person, you will be of no help if you, too, become injured. Before approaching the person, make sure there are no hazards, such as traffic, unstable structures, downed electrical lines, swift-moving water, violence, explosions or toxic gas exposure. If the hazards are still present and it is too dangerous for you to reach the person, call for help and keep yourself out of harm's way. If the hazard is not a threat to your safety, then you should approach the injured person. Another way you need to protect yourself is to wear any personal protective equipment you may have access to, such as gloves to protect you from bloodborne disease if the person is bleeding. You must attempt to get the injured person's consent before you can begin first aid. The person must give verbal consent or consent with a gesture. You should identify yourself, indicate your level of training, and ask the person if you may provide first aid.  If the person is unconscious, confused, mentally impaired, seriously injured or seriously ill, then consent is implied and you may assist the person.  If the injured person is a minor, you must obtain consent from his parent or guardian. If this person is not available and the situation is life-threatening then consent is implied and you may assist the child.  If the person refuses aid, you must respect this. Even if the person is seriously injured and the situation is life-threatening, if he refuses care you cannot attempt first aid. These include assessing the victim's ABCs: Airway, Breathing and Circulation. Lie the person on his back and put yourself close to his head and neck so you can better evaluate his vital functions. If the person is conscious, begin working but also talk with him to keep him calm and help slow his heart rate. If possible, try to keep the victim's eyes averted so he cannot see the wound. If the person is unconscious and there is no possibility of neck or spine injury, place one hand on the person's forehead and another...

Open Skype. Start a Skype call. Tap ＋. Tap Start recording. Tap Stop recording when you are done. End the call. Play back the recording.

Your speech may include an introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction and conclusion are optional, depending on your time limits. The body of the speech should begin by expressing gratitude to the most important people on your list. It may proceed with shorter expressions of gratitude to larger groups of people. On a blank piece of paper, compose a quick outline with section headings and the main points you want to make in each section. As you write your speech, bring to mind a particular individual that you want your speech to touch. Imagine you are in a conversation with this individual or that your speech is a letter to them personally. When people hear your speech, they will get the impression that you are talking to them on a personal level. A great thank you speech is written from a personal, genuine place of gratitude. You should think about what you are really grateful for, and try to express this gratitude in a genuine way in your speech. Some examples of genuine ‘thank you’ speeches include:  In 1985, Sally Field spoke from the heart in her Oscar thank you speech. She said, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now you like me!” In 1970, at the age of 61, John Wayne was genuine about how long it took him to win, upon accepting the award for best actor for the role of one-eyed Rooster Cogburn. He said, “Wow! If I’d known that, I would have put the patch on 35 years ago.” You don’t want to sound full of yourself or too self-centered. One of the reasons that you are giving a ‘thank you’ speech is that there are so many people who have helped you along the way. You could express genuine humility, use your self-depreciating humor and wit or show your humility directly with simple statements.  For instance, you could say: “I am so humbled by this honor.” You could also use humor. For instance, when George Clooney won best supporting actor in 2006 but lost the best director award, he drew on his self-deprecating humor. He said, “Well, it looks like I’m not winning best director…” Write...

TL;DR in English: Outline the structure of your speech. Picture one person you want to address. Speak from the heart. Express humility. Avoid verbosity. Write an introduction. Write about the most important people on your list. Finish composing the body of your speech. Compose a conclusion.

Pursed lip breathing is one of the best ways to deal with shortness of breath that is not caused by a health issue. If you're in serious distress, you should always call for help first. Pursed breathing has the following benefits:  It improves how much air is getting into your lungs. It releases trapped air from inside your lungs. It makes it easier for you to breathe. It slows your breathing. It helps your body get into a better breathing rhythm, releasing old air before taking in new air. It helps you relax. Your mouth should be closed so that you aren’t tempted to breathe through your mouth. You only need to take a small breath, so don’t worry about deeply inhaling during the 2 seconds. Relax your neck and shoulders as you breathe in and out. You can make pursed lips by pressing your lips together in a tight pucker, as though you are about to whistle or blow air onto something. The goal is a slow stream of air exiting your mouth. Release the breath through your mouth, allowing it to slowly flow between your lips. Take as many seconds as you need to let all of the air leave your body before you take another breath through your nose.  Your exhale should be slower than your inhale. Continue breathing through pursed lips until you feel like you’re in control of your breathing.

TL;DR in English: Use pursed lip breathing to control shortness of breath. Inhale slowly through your nose, counting to 2. Press your lips together as though you’re going to blow out a candle. Exhale slowly through your pursed lips.

Measure two liters (8 cups) of water and pour it into a pot and place it over your stovetop. Turn the stove to high until the water starts to bubble. You can also use a kettle or electric water heater to heat up the water. Combine three tablespoons (44.36 ml) of dishwashing detergent to the water as it boils. Then, turn off the heat on the stovetop and carefully lift the pot of water and take it to your drain. Carefully tip the pot or kettle so that the water goes down the drain. If you have plastic pipes, you should allow the water to cool for four to five minutes before pouring it down the drain. After the hot water has drained, turn on your faucet on the highest heat. If the drain is clogged or slow, you may have to repeat the process to remove bigger grease obstructions and unclog it.

TL;DR in English: Bring two liters of water to a rolling boil. Add dishwashing detergent to the water. Pour the water down the drain. Flush the drain with hot water from the faucet.

While you may not be able to afford the most exclusive neighborhoods or buildings, you can find something not terribly far from where the real money resides. Get as close as you can. Or settle for a shoe in the box, right in the middle. In doing so, you’ll be running errands, walking your dog, jogging, drinking your coffee, etc., in the same areas. In doing so, you’re absorbing the culture and meeting people.  This provides opportunities to become more relaxed amongst the rich and to be noticed at no (more) additional cost to you.  If you can’t afford to move, simply start getting your groceries in upscale neighborhoods. Drive your car to the high-end park for your morning jog and so forth. If you want to be rich, you need to [look] rich. If you don’t look and act the part, you likely won’t close the deal. You want your look to be sexy but not so much that it crosses the line into looking sleazy. Sexy but sophisticated is the way to go, investing in only a few classic pieces that can be worn with a variety of other things. Look for them at consignment shops and online at websites like eBay. Also invest in 1-2, second-hand and versatile designer handbags.  Accessories such as jewelry are also important, but these are more easily faked. Pearls are classic, for instance, and don’t need to be real, and a pair of cubic zirconium stud earrings and a matching necklace will never go out of style and won’t cost a fortune. Know the dress code of any event you attend and make sure you adhere to it. If you’re not sure, it’s always best to be a bit overdressed than underdressed. Avoid over-tanning, wearing too much makeup, and coloring your hair in ways that looks unnatural as it’s not generally a classy look. Even if you may not have been educated in finance or political theory, you need to be well versed in the things rich men discuss. Since they are often big players in business and politics, gain knowledge in these areas through reading newspapers daily – particularly the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal –...

TL;DR in English: Move close to where they live. Look the part. Talk their talk. Act like money doesn’t matter.

Propagate by seed if you don’t have access to a mature tree. Sow indoors before the last frost at 64 to 70 °F (18 to 21 °C). Soak the seeds for 4-5 days before sowing. Bury the seeds in potting soil in a small pot. Cover the pots with plastic to keep them moist. Wait 30-40 days for germination.

Apply the glue and trim to 1 side of the label at a time. If you are decorating the front label, consider doing 3 rows of rhinestone trim. Use a thin trim for the first and third rows, and a larger trim for the middle row. Use a thin, simple trim for the back label. You don't have to use rhinestones for the middle row. Try pearls or even studs! Some bottles have a round stamp or seal near the top, right between the neck and label. Choose a large rhinestone, then glue it right over the stamp or seal. Glue 1 to 2 rows of tiny rhinestones around the larger one for a fancier look.  The large rhinestone should be large enough to cover the stamp or seal. For more variation, use tiny pearls for the first row, and silver rhinestones for the second row. If all of your rhinestones are the same shape, size, and color, your bottle may look monotonous. Give the bottle a quick coat of a clear-drying glue or spray sealer, then shake some glitter onto it. This works especially well over smooth, pearl trims.  If you are using spray sealer, it must be glossy, or you will dull down the rhinestones. Use glitter that is the same color as your rhinestones to help blend it in some more. Extra-fine glitter will look pretty, but you can use chunky glitter instead, or even a combination of both! If you covered your entire bottle with rhinestones, it may look a little monotonous. Let the bottle dry first, then add larger rhinestones, gemstones, or flat-backed pearls on top. Use these sparingly; do not cover the entire bottle with these. This works especially well over a pearl trim. The rhinestones will help add some texture. Cut a length of ribbon and tie it into a bow. Glue the bow to the neck of bottle, then cut the tails of the bow into angles. Glue a fancy gemstone or brooch to the center of the bow for a more detailed touch.

TL;DR in English: Outline labels with rhinestone trim for a fancier touch. Glue large, fancy rhinestones over round stamps or seals. Break up monotony and add texture with glitter. Layer larger gems and rhinestones over tiny ones. Add an accessory, such as a bow, if desired.

Some guys bond with people by doing things instead of through talking. He might feel closer to you if you do side by side activities together. Examples of side by side activities would be playing sports, playing a game, or working on a project together. Pay attention to the kinds of activities that he likes to do, and do those activities with him. For example, if he likes to do outdoors activities like shooting, have him teach you how to shoot a gun. Or if there is a game that he likes to play, learn how to play too.  Even if you don’t know how to do the activities that he likes to do, it can mean a lot to him if you try to learn. Enjoy yourself while you are out with him. Laugh aloud at your mistakes, ask lots of questions, and talk to the other people who are doing the activity too. Even if he is a guy who enjoys talking, it might build your relationship in a new way if you do side by side activities together. Some guys do feel connected with girls based on their feelings and talking, and even guys who may not be always excited to talk about their feelings may want to talk to you about the things they care about once they are really comfortable with you. After you have spent quality time getting to know him, you should move on to getting to know him on a deeper level. He will feel closer to you and rely on you more if you know more about what he cares about and the history of his life.  These kinds of conversations are great to have at night. You should ask him questions about important times in his past, the important relationships in his life, and the things he cares about. For example, you can ask him, “Which of your interests means the most to who you are, and why do you care so much about it?” Or ask him, “Who in your family do you think you are the closest with and why?”. These questions can be really simple but listening well will help you have a really meaningful conversation with him. For your conversation, sit across from him or in a position where you can see his face and hear him well. Ask him...

TL;DR in English: Do side by side activities with him. Get to know about his interests and the important relationships in his life. Find a quiet place for a conversation where you won’t be interrupted. Express yourself back to him. Be there during hard times as a confidant. Ask him for help.

If you have a bit of downtime, meal prepping is a great way to use it. When you plan and prepare your meals ahead of time, you are less likely to choose unhealthy options like fast or junk food. Browse interesting recipes on Pinterest and compile a grocery list to take with you shopping. Ask your roommate, partner, or children to help you. This will help you get the task done faster. Plus, you’ll have more fun as you work together. Regular physical activity delivers an energy boost and keeps your mind alert. You already know you should exercise a few days a week. But if you plop down on the couch to watch TV first, you’re unlikely to get moving later. Make exercise a priority by using your leisure time to support your physical and mental well-being. Allot at least 30 minutes to running, walking, biking or some other preferred activity. You can even turn on some music and shake your hips as you cook or clean your home. Even if you are not currently stressed, you can positively influence your well-being by practicing self-care. Too often, you may relegate yourself to the bottom of your priority list. Creating a self-care toolbox helps you gather relaxing activities so they are at reach when you need a refresh. Stock your self-care toolbox with items and activities that rejuvenate your mind and body. You might include scented candles and lotions, bubble bath or salts, a coloring book, a novel, a knitting project, or your favorite movie. You might wonder what cleaning has to do with health. A clean home can offer you mental health benefits because you aren’t stressed about where things are. However, if you suffer from allergies or other chronic conditions, cleaning your home regularly can reduce unpleasant symptoms. Also, cleaning offers you the chance to move your body and get your heart rate up. Use natural cleaning products to reduce your exposure to toxins to further benefit your overall health and well-being.

TL;DR in English: Find some healthy recipes you’d like to try. Exercise. Stock your self-care toolbox. Tidy your home.

Now is not the time for cotton sports bras or granny panties. Instead, opt for something a little sexier, like a matching lace bra and underwear or a sheer bodysuit. Choose pieces that flatter your figure and show off your best assets.  For example, if you love your back but aren’t a fan of your belly, wear a teddy that dips low in the back and provides coverage in the front over your midsection. Men might select a pair of silk boxer briefs in a slightly see-through black. Your outerwear is the least important part of your striptease. You want something that you feel good in and that you can remove without much trouble. Pick a slip dress or a sheer blouse with a stretchy skirt, for example, or, for men, wear loose jeans and a pullover.  Stay away from anything super tight, like skinny jeans, or clothes in a scratchy fabric that could irritate your partner if you dance against them. Avoid lots of layers. You don’t want to be spending a lot of time taking off a sweater, blouse, and tank top. Adopting a new persona for the night can add an exciting twist to your striptease. You can’t go wrong with the classic sexy librarian look, complete with glasses, a button-down shirt, and pencil skirt. Or, if your partner likes a woman or man in uniform, rock a form-fitting cop costume. Find costumes at a Halloween store, party store, or online retailer. Heels not only add extra sex appeal to your striptease, they also make your hips sway more when you walk and slim your legs. Pick a pair that matches your lingerie or opt for classic black peep-toes.  Make sure you can walk in your heels beforehand. Stilettos lose their flair if you’re stumbling around. If you buy new shoes for the striptease, break them in by wearing them around the house with thick socks. It will stretch out the shoes so they aren’t too tight on your feet. The mussed, woke-up-like-this look is very effortless yet sensual at the same time. If you’re a man, simply run some mousse through your hair. If you’re a woman, style your hair in long, loose waves or...

TL;DR in English: Put on a pretty set of undergarments or lingerie underneath your clothes. Dress in clothes that are comfortable and easy to take off. Go for a costume if you and your partner are into roleplaying. Slip on a pair of sky-high stilettos that elongate your legs. Wear your hair in a tousled, bedhead style. Play up either your eyes or lips with makeup if you want extra drama.

While it’s certainly possible to propagate Madagascar dragon trees from seeds, you may need to try this method a few times to get it right. It’s difficult to grow many varieties of trees from seed, and these plants are no exception. If you want a horticultural challenge, this option is for you! You can buy Madagascar dragon tree seeds online, although they may actually be more expensive than a mature plant. This will replicate the plant’s natural growth cycle, helping to stimulate germination. Place the seeds in a bowl of warm water. You do not need to change the water each day. This, too, will encourage germination. Fill the pot with either seed-growing compost, or an equal-parts mixture of multipurpose compost and perlite. Pack down the compost with your fingers. Use distilled water to moisten the soil until water drains out from the holes at the bottom of the container. Then, place no more than 1 or 2 seeds in the container, burying them slightly.  The seeds don’t need more than about 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) of covering over them. Seed-growing compost is better than multipurpose, but both should work. There should be at least a finger-width of space between the 2 seeds. Place the container in a resealable plastic bag. Label the bag with the plant’s name and date you sowed the seeds. Check the soil every day or so to make sure it’s still moist. If it’s dried out, re-moisten it. If germination is successful, it should occur in about a month. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, you can gently move them into their own little pots filled with moistened potting soil.  Continue to keep them inside until the leaves have sprouted and hardened a bit.

TL;DR in English:


Don't try to pop your pimple. Apply a warm compress to an area that is sore and may be breaking out. Wash your whole face with a mild cleansing agent containing salicylic acid. Don't wear makeup on the area until it is absolutely necessary to cover it up.

The slope of a line is defined by (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1) where X and Y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of points on the line. You must define two points on the line to calculate this formula. The point closer to the bottom of the line is (X1, Y1) and the point higher on the line, above the first point, is (X2, Y2).  This formula can be restated as the rise over the run. It is the change in vertical difference over the change in horizontal difference, or the steepness of the line. If a line points upwards to the right, it will have a positive slope. If the line is downwards to the right, it will have a negative slope. A point on a line is given by the coordinate (X, Y) where X is the location on the horizontal axis and Y is the location on the vertical axis. To calculate the slope, you need to identify two points on each of the lines in question.  Points are easily determined when you have a line drawn on graphing paper. To define a point, draw a dashed line up from the horizontal axis until it intersects the line. The position that you started the line on the horizontal axis is the X coordinate, while the Y coordinate is where the dashed line intersects the line on the vertical axis. For example: line l has the points (1, 5) and (-2, 4) while line r has the points (3, 3) and (1, -4). To actually calculate the slope, simply plug in the numbers, subtract, and then divide. Take care to plug in the coordinates to the proper X and Y value in the formula.  To calculate the slope of line l: slope = (5 – (-4))/(1 – (-2)) Subtract: slope = 9/3 Divide: slope = 3 The slope of line r is: slope = (3 – (-4))/(3 - 1) = 7/2 Remember, two lines are parallel only if they have identical slopes. Lines may look parallel on paper and may even be very close to parallel, but if their slopes are not exactly the same, they aren’t parallel. In this example, 3 is not equal to 7/2, therefore, these two lines are not parallel.

TL;DR in English: Define the formula for slope. Identify the X and Y coordinates of two points on each line. Plug the points for each line into the slope formula. Compare the slopes of each line.

The time signature looks like a fraction and is noted at the beginning of a piece of music. The top number tells you how many beats there will be every measure, and the bottom number tells you what kind of notes those beats will be in this song. For instance, if 3 is on top and 1 is on the bottom, there will be 3 whole note beats per measure. If 5 is on top and 2 is on the bottom, there will be 5 half note beats per measure. If 6 is on top and 8 is on the bottom, there will be 6 eighth-note beats per measure. The most common time signature (sometimes just written with the letter C meaning “common time”) is 4 on top and 4 on the bottom, which means there are 4 quarter-note beats per measure. . At the beginning of the sheet music, next to the clef sign, sharp ♯ and flat♭signs make up the "key signature." These tricks will help you memorize what each key signature looks like:  If there are no sharps or flats next to the clef, the scale is C major or A minor, so C or A will be Do for this song, respectively. The rightmost sharp in the key signature is Ti on the solfege scale. Go up one half step (a space or line) and you'll get the root note which the scale is named for, and which you can think of as Do. Alternatively, use this mnemonic to identify the scale by how many sharps there are (starting at one sharp): Green Day And Elvis Buy Four Cats The rightmost flat in the key signature is Fa, and the flat to its left is the root note Do. Identify the scale by the number of flats there are (starting at one flat): Fat Boys Eat Apples During Geometry Class Unless you have perfect pitch, you'll need to listen to the root tone. This is always the note in the name of the key signature, so when you're singing a song written in A, you'll want to listen to an A. You can use a piano, a metronome with a pitch function, a tuning fork, or pitch software on a phone app or website. Using the root note as Do, sing the solfege scale up and down once or twice to get a feel for the notes you'll be singing. Remember to use the minor...

TL;DR in English: Assess the time signature. Identify the key Listen to the root note. Run through the solfege scale. Check the rhythm and tempo. Cope with difficult passages.

It can be tempting to spend a lot of your weekend in bed, especially if you’re tired from a long week. However, sleeping too much can ultimately leave you feeling even more tired, and can take up hours you could have spent enjoying your time off. Resist the temptation to sleep in on the weekends. If you’re concerned about getting enough sleep, try going to bed early rather than sleeping in. Most people need 7-9 hours of sleep every night to be at their best. Significantly changing your bed and wake-up times over the weekend can disrupt your body’s natural rhythms and leave you feeling sluggish and groggy. Try to both go to bed and get up within about an hour of when you normally would during the work week. While going to bed or getting up an hour later than usual won’t make much of a difference in how you feel, a delay of two or more hours can seriously confuse your brain and body. . In addition to helping you sleep, taking a couple of hours to unwind before you go to bed can be pleasant and rewarding in itself. Develop a soothing pre-sleep ritual to help you stay rested and enjoy the weekend. Take a little time to relax your body. Take a warm bath or shower, get into comfy pajamas, and do some light stretches or breathing-focused meditation. If worrying about things you need to get done keeps you from falling asleep, set aside a few minutes before bed to write a to-do list for the next day or the upcoming week. Be sure to make note of anything you accomplished during the day, too. Avoid the temptation to watch TV or look at your phone, tablet, or computer screen right before bed. Watching media before bed can be overstimulating or stressful, and the light from screens can disrupt your ability to sleep.

TL;DR in English: Get up earlier. Set regular times to go to bed and wake up. Create a relaxing bedtime routine Write down whatever is worrying you. Minimize your screen time.

Your instincts may suggest that something is a great idea, but you won't really know whether or not it's worth pursuing until you gather data around that subject. Sometimes the data will support your instincts, but other times, it may prove your instincts to be wrong. Customer surveys and product tests are both great ways to collect data on your ideas. These tools provide you with data specifically tailored to your project and your target market. When “Option A” and “Option B” are the two clearest, most obvious choices, it can be easy to assume that they're the only choices. There might be new, less obvious choices that are better and waiting to be discovered just outside of the box, however. "Option A" and "Option B" might be standard procedures that are hard to break from. In that case, question why those procedures are standard. Point out any weaknesses or flaws in those options and suggest ways to address those issues. If you wait until you have the means to enact a big plan all at once, you'll be waiting a long time and will likely lose momentum as you sit around. A better course of action is to commit as quickly as possible by taking small steps toward your goals.  Give tangible form to abstract ideas as quickly as possible. Create a prototype of a project you're working on. Improve the actual prototype instead of trying to make all of your improvements only on paper. Major innovation is even harder to pull off during tough economic times since your resources are slim and your customers are more resistant to change. Investing everything you have in a major innovation without approaching it in a few minor, cautious steps can be a waste of resources you need to manage more effectively. Taking small steps will allow you to change direction along the way as needed. Small steps and short-term goals are important when you're trying to build momentum, but if you want long-term success, you will need to make sure that your goals will lead you to your desired long-term goal. Don't let yourself be blinded by...

TL;DR in English: Use data to support your instincts. Introduce new options. Take small, immediate steps. Look at the big picture. Try to try again.

If you see a pimple forming, do not squeeze it or try to pop it. Squeezing can actually push the infected material deeper into the skin, worsening the pimple and causing it to become more red and inflamed. It is also more likely to result in permanent scarring if you pick at it. Before washing, applying a warm, damp washcloth to the area will help to clear your pore. This will improve the chances of your pimple clearing up naturally as soon as possible. This will help to rid your face of dead skin cells and excess oil, thereby diminishing the severity of the pimple that is forming. Pimples are worsened by clogged pores and oily skin, so washing twice a day will help to keep the zit as short-lived as possible. Note that it is important not to rub your skin too harshly, particularly over the sore or affected area. This can worsen the potential breakout. Applying a thick layer of any product will trap bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil inside the pore. Keep your skin clean and follow your preventive skincare regimen as closely as possible, wearing makeup only when needed.  Note that, for some people with acne problems, even non-comedogenic products clog their skin and cause pimples. Test all makeup products and replace them if they start to clog your skin.

You need a wide open space, preferably a field, with no buildings or trees around.  The number or people in the area should also be limited, as the functioning of an RC helicopter can be extremely dangerous.  The size of the space you'll need will differ depending on the size of your helicopter.  You can either go out by yourself, or go with one other person.  Distractions such as pranks, games, or laughs can dampen your ability to focus on flying your copter. Dogs and other pets should also be left at home.  There are many horror stories where pets are killed by falling aircraft.  Do not let this happen to one of your pets. the area size should be at least 60X60 feet.  The best ground material is clean, smooth pavement, or tightly packed snow. If you are someone who is new to flying, you will need to attach this equipment onto the bottom of your helicopter.  The training equipment is typically two wooden or carbon fiber sticks, crossed in a "T" shape, with little rubber balls on the ends.  These can be purchased at helicopter specialty stores, both online and on site, for around 40-60 dollars. For a good video on how to make your own training gear, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJtNIzZ9U_0. You will need to make sure that your receiver batteries, helicopter, and radio are all charged up before you go out to fly your RC helicopter.  You will also need to check the weather before you go out.  If the weather is anything above 15 mph wind, and/or light rain, you should avoid flying your copter.    You should also bring safety goggles with you when you go out to fly. If you are going to be out in an open field, especially in the fall or winter months, make sure you are wearing warm clothes.

TL;DR in English: Find a flying site. Purchase or make helicopter training equipment. Check for last minute precautions.

People who pretend to know everything are not as well liked as people who are willing to ask for help. Asking questions gives other people the opportunity to help you and that makes them feel good. If you are unsure of something or just want to know what someone else thinks, ask questions to give them a chance to share their knowledge. Try to get people to talk about themselves. Research has shown that when people talk about themselves, they feel the same pleasure as when they eat or receive money. . Active listening is a great way to get people to love you. The better you are at listening to people when they are talking, the more they will want to spend time talking with you. Practice active listening by nodding, using neutral phrases, and rephrasing what the speaker has just said.  Demonstrate that you are listening by nodding your head and using neutral phrases, such as, "Uh-huh,” “I see,” and “Yes.” Demonstrate comprehension by rephrasing what the other person just said. For example, if a friend says, “I have been so busy this week,” you can say, “So you haven’t had any time for yourself lately.” . Using humor is a great way to get people to love you too. If you know a good joke, share it with other people. If you are witty, make witty remarks. Just make sure that the humor you use is appropriate for the situation or you may end up offending someone. Look for little ways to make your companions laugh and they will love spending time with you. People who are willing to ask for help when they need it are often interpreted as more likeable than people who pretend like they know how to do everything. Show that you are open to other people’s advice and suggestions by asking for help when you need it. Allowing people opportunities to share their expertise with you will make them feel good and love being around you because of how useful you make them feel. . You can also use positive gossip in your favor to get people to love you. Instead of talking about what you don’t like about people, talk about what you do...

TL;DR in English: Ask questions. Listen well Joke around with people Ask for help when you need it. Say nice things about other people

Use hay and cow manure to keep weeds from growing and continue to nourish the rhubarb plants. Leaf mulch or ramial wood chips also make good mulches. Your rhubarb bed should stay moist and well-drained throughout the heat of the summer. Water every time the soil begins to look dry. Seed stalks keep the rest of the rhubarb plant from growing tall and strong, since they use up the plant's energy. Rhubarb isn't prone to getting many pests, but you may notice a beetle called the rhubarb curculio on the stalks. This beetle is light gray and about half an inch long. Pick off the beetles one at a time. Don't use pesticide to kill them, as this may damage your rhubarb plants. After the first year has passed, use a light application of high-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage the rhubarb to come back healthy. Do this after the ground has started to thaw.

TL;DR in English: Place a layer of mulch over your rhubarb bed in the spring and fall. Keep the rhubarb watered during the summer. Remove seed stalks before they get too big. Pick off rhubarb curculio. Fertilize rhubarb every spring.

Many myths explain why an event occurs, how something was first created, or why people should act a certain way. Here are some examples from real myths:  Why does the moon wax and wane? Why do vultures have bald heads? Why do people prepare and eat foods in certain ways, or on certain holidays? Some myths explain why people should or shouldn't behave in certain ways. This can be a straightforward lesson with a moral at the end, but more often, the reader picks up on the lesson by seeing good actions rewarded, and evil or foolish actions punished. Here are a few ideas that you could use as the main focus of your work, if you like this approach:  The hero succeeds only when he follows the advice of elders or gods — or alternatively, only when he is self-reliant. The hero must be clever to succeed, solving problems in creative ways. Some myths even teach that luck can be more important than skill. It can be fun to hear about an "ordinary" person who gets rewarded, or entertaining to hear about a complete fool who somehow becomes king. Your myth can be silly or serious, but it should involve something that doesn't happen in the real world. For example, a volcano might erupt because giants underground left the barbecue on. A hero might be forced to learn to care about people after an evil serpent turns his family into trees. If you're having trouble coming up with a mythological explanation for the topic you chose, write down a list of words that remind you of snow. If you want to explain how snowstorms happen, write down "cold, wet, white, snowman, ice cream, clouds." Maybe snowmen live in the sky and sneeze snow down to earth, or maybe the clouds try to give us ice cream that melts on the way down. The hero of the story is usually someone impressive and admirable, although as mentioned above, you can write about an ordinary person instead. Think about these questions as you write down ideas for your hero:  Is the hero super-strong, super-intelligent, or incredibly talented in one area? Some heroes have...

TL;DR in English: Decide what your myth explains. Think about including a lesson. Turn your idea into something fantastical. Create a hero. Add flaws to your hero. Brainstorm magical ideas.

You will need sea salt, one lemon and an old toothbrush. You’ll want to have a few clean, soft towels on hand, along with some rubbing alcohol and a handful of cotton balls. You’ll use these items at the end to sterilize your blade.

TL;DR in English:


Create your brand. Utilize traditional marketing techniques. Adopt non-traditional marketing techniques. Employ online marketing strategies. Utilize social networks/media. Understand the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns. Get referrals from existing customers.

Despite the fact that today's technology is smaller and more useful than ever, we all seem to end up surrounded by stuff we no longer use or care about. It can seem like a pain to take the time and trouble to get rid of it, but you'll be glad you did once the task is finished. Get rid of everything you haven't used in a year or more, unless it was either terribly expensive or a family heirloom. Have a garage sale, use eBay, or simply donate your extra dishes, clothes, toys, books, movies, games, and other items to a charity. Expensive and/or heirloom items you haven't used in a long time should be gently boxed up and stored in an attic, a basement, a garage, or even a rarely-used bedroom closet. One of the most common prescriptions psychologists give for curing insomnia is to set aside the bedroom for sex and sleeping only. By creating a dedicated, assigned space for specific activities, you convince your brain to engage in those activities whenever you enter that space. Take this method to heart as much as your space allows:  Remove TVs, desks, computers, and other such distractions from the bedroom. Store clothes and books there instead. Only spend time in the bedroom when you're changing clothes, grabbing a book, going to sleep, or getting it on. Don't read in bed. Clean the clutter off of your dining room/breakfast nook table. If you don't have a dining room or a breakfast nook, but you do have a table, clean it up. Only use the table for eating and paperwork (bills, studying, writing, and so on). Make a commitment to washing your dishes after every meal. Maintain your kitchen. It's rare that you'll ever make so many dishes in a single day that you can't get them all washed within 30 minutes in the evening. Clean up every day so you can continue to use the kitchen for cooking and not have to worry about the mess. Put time-consuming activities in an office or the living room. Keep computers, TVs, video game consoles, and other such activity items in general areas. Train your brain to associate these areas...

TL;DR in English: Reduce your collection. Assign space. Consider canceling your TV service.

The facemasks you have made will be very gloopy and messy. Consider draping a towel over the front of your chest and shoulders to protect your clothes. You can also wear something that you do not mind getting dirty. While the ingredients you have used are not bad for your hair, you will probably have to wash your hair completely if you get any of the oatmeal mask on it. To prevent this, tie your hair into a pony tail to keep it away from your face. If you have short hair, then consider wearing a shower cap. If you have not already, wash your face with your usual facial cleanser and water. Lightly pat your face dry with a clean towel. Using your fingers, start gently massaging the mask into your face, using circular motions. Apply the mask into your forehead, nose, cheekbones, and jaw. Do not apply it on your mouth or eyes. Let the mask sit on your face for 10 to 15 minutes. If you are using the soothing, yogurt-based mask, consider leaving the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes instead. The mask may harden or start to flake off as it dries; this is normal and to be expected. While waiting for your mask to dry, consider taking a relaxing bath or soak. Using cool water, gently wash the face mask off. Be sure to use the same circular, massaging motions that you used to put the mask on. Once your face is clean, follow up with your usual skincare regime. If you don't have a skincare regime, them you can consider applying some toner and moisturizer.  To apply the toner, simply soak a cotton ball with some toner, and sweep it over your face, focusing on the forehead, nose, and cheekbones. The toner will help tighten your pores. To apply some moisturizer, simply squeeze some of your favorite facial moisturizer onto your palm, and apply it to your face using your fingers. Avoid the sensitive areas around your nose and mouth.

TL;DR in English: Protect your clothes. Protect your hair. Start with a fresh, clean face. Apply the mask to your face. Leave the mask on your face. Rinse the mask off. Consider applying toner and moisturizer.

A document cannot be entered into evidence unless someone lays a foundation for it. This means that the person offering the evidence must produce testimony sufficient to prove that the item is what the party claims it is.  For example, a person cannot just get up on the stand and argue that a photograph shows you hitting another car in an intersection. The witness must first establish: that the photograph is actually of the intersection in which the accident occurred; how she knows that it is the intersection (e.g., she drives through it daily), and how she knows the day and time the photograph was taken. If a witness fails to make these connections, then she has failed to lay a proper foundation, and the evidence may be excluded by the court. The judge will ultimately determine whether the witness has provided sufficient evidence. Some documents are self-authenticating. For example, domestic records that are sealed and signed, certified copies of public records, newspapers and magazines, as well as acknowledged (notarized) documents do not require a foundation. Generally, a duplicate is admissible. But you can challenge its admissibility if you argue that it is not authentic, or that only a partial duplicate of the original is being offered. For example, if in a criminal trial the prosecution sent off the murder weapon to the lab to test for fingerprints, then the defendant should look through all of the reports describing the movement of the weapon. If the defendant can find a time when the gun is not accounted for as being in police custody, then the chain of custody is broken. The defendant could move to have the evidence thrown out.

TL;DR in English: Move to strike evidence that lacks a proper foundation. Demand the use of original documents. Challenge the chain of custody.

All dogs bark sometimes.  But if your dog barks constantly, it could be unwanted.  Listen for barking that has a clear reason.  For instance, perhaps your dog is barking because someone knocked on the door, or because they hear another dog barking outside.  But if your dog starts barking without any apparent cause and continues to do so for many minutes on end, take corrective action. Sometimes dogs bark because they have pain or some medical condition that causes them to vocalize.  Take careful notes about your dog’s nuisance barking to help your vet make an accurate diagnosis regarding your dog’s health and the reason behind its barking. For instance, you should note when your dog barks, where it barks, how long it barks, the tone of the bark (high and piercing?  low and groaning?), and any related details pertaining to the period in which your dog engaged in nuisance barking (for instance, perhaps your dog was running around the house while barking). If your dog barks because it sees other animals or people outside, find ways to limit your dog’s visual and auditory access to high-traffic areas.  For instance, if your dog frequently starts barking when perched on a sofa near a window, move the sofa to a location where the dog cannot jump on it. If necessary, you could also use baby gates to prevent your dog from accessing parts of the house that often receive the most noise from without. It is hard to completely isolate your dog from seeing or hearing others, and eventually your dog will end up barking even when you wish it didn’t.  Sometimes the best way to correct unwanted barking is to allow your dog to bark two or three times, then say, “Quiet.”  Walk over to your dog and hold its muzzle.  Repeat “Quiet” again.  Then, release your dog, walk away from the window or door, and call your dog over to you.  Have your dog sit and give it a treat. If your dog remains quiet while sitting for about thirty seconds, give it another treat.  As long as your dog continues to sit quietly, feed it treats every thirty...

TL;DR in English: Look for excessive barking. Take your dog to a vet. Limit your dog’s ability to see others. Teach your dog to be quiet. Distract your dog. Use a head halter. Do not encourage your dog to bark. Give your dog more exercise and attention.

Your brand is the most identifiable advantage you bring your customer expressed in a a simple, short phrase. This phrase is constantly repeated in your marketing effort and informs all other aspects of your business's public presentation (employee behavior, advertising, tone used in written materials, etc.). Your brand is the message that you want your customers to hear that will make them choose your product over your competitors'. Identify your brand or create one that represents your business's overall identity and your competitive advantage.  A brand serves as your company's identity and allows you to build bonds with your customers. Focus on forming relationships and syncing your brand with the identity of your customers. Depending on your understanding of your business and its customers, there are many traditional marketing techniques to choose from in order to attract new customers.  Direct Mail — Using direct mail is a way to mail items to a large number of potential customers. Newspaper and Magazine — Placing advertisements in newspapers or magazines frequently read by and in your target market can be a cost-effective marketing strategy. Phone Book — Listings and advertisements in the commercial section of telephone directories in your target areas are still a valuable way to market in some industries. Signs and Billboards — Advertising space on signs and billboards can be very cost-effective if properly designed and placed. Certain businesses, or those with certain types of customers, may find that thinking outside of the box of traditional and online marketing is best.  Advertising on vehicles — There are many ways to advertise with cars including bumper stickers, decals, car wraps, and more. Industry examples — Look at what competitors and others in your industry are doing to market their businesses. It may work for you, too. Sometimes your identified customers may not be local or easily marketed to by traditional methods. You may have a business that sells products online or even an entirely...
