Before you do anything else, find out a little more about your crush. Make sure your crush is aware of your existence. Make yourself available. Tweak your style to perk your crush's interest. Take care of your hygiene. Make sure you appear in several of the classes in your crush's schedule. Start friendly, comfortable conversations with your crush, and ask nice questions about him that will help you get to know more about him. Slowly start to sit at your crush's table. At this point, if you've become good enough friends with your crush so that you're a part of his daily life and attention now, your crush should be naturally starting conversations with you instead of you doing all the starting. Finished.

Most applicators can attract bacteria, but your hands are an exception. They’re easy for you to wash, so you don’t need to worry about bacterial growth. Additionally, your hands are likely a softer option than other applicators. Unless you just prefer an applicator, just use your hands to apply the shower cream.  Your hands may be a good applicator if your skin is extremely dry or you have a skin condition. Keep in mind that you may use more product if you use your hands to apply it. If you like to create a nice lather, then sponges or loofahs are your best choice. You may also prefer a sponge or loofah because they’re good exfoliators that rub off your dead skin cells, leaving behind smooth skin. Sponges and loofahs can be abrasive, so they may irritate your skin. If you have dry or sensitive skin, it may be better to stick with your hands or use a washcloth. You can get a fresh washcloth every day, so you might use one if you like having an applicator but are worried about bacteria growing on it. Additionally, washcloths are soft, so you may like how they feel on your skin.  A soft washcloth may be best for dry or sensitive skin, if you don’t want to use your hand. Launder your washcloth after each use.

TL;DR in English: Use your hands for the simplest, cleanest option. Choose a sponge or loofah to exfoliate your skin and make a lather. Use a washcloth if you want a soft, easy to wash applicator.

Eczema on the hands and fingers is a common condition. If you suspect that you have some form of eczema, see a doctor to get your condition diagnosed and treated. You may have eczema if you notice any of the following symptoms on your hands or fingers:   Redness Itching Pain Extreme dryness Cracks Blisters Irritant contact dermatitis is the most common form of hand eczema. This form of eczema is caused by frequent and prolonged exposure to substances that irritate the skin. These irritating products may be almost anything that makes frequent contact with the skin, including cleaning agents, chemicals, food, metal, plastic, and even water. Symptoms of this type of eczema include:  chapping and redness on the fingertips and in the webbed areas between your fingers stinging and burning when you make contact with irritants Some people suffer from a form of eczema called allergic contact dermatitis. In this case, the eczema is caused by an allergy to a substance such as a soap, dye, fragrance, rubber, or even a plant. Symptoms of this type of eczema are often concentrated on the inside of the hands and fingertips, but they can appear anywhere on the hands. Symptoms include:  blistering, itchiness, swelling, and redness soon after exposure to the allergen crusting, scaling, and cracking of the skin darkening and/or thickening of the skin after prolonged exposure to the allergen Hand eczema caused by atopic dermatitis is more common in children than in adults, but adults can still suffer from this condition. If you have symptoms of eczema on other parts of your body as well as on your hands, atopic dermatitis might be causing your hand eczema. Symptoms of atopic dermatitis include:  extreme itchiness that lasts for days or weeks thickening of the skin lesions on the skin

TL;DR in English: Look for symptoms of hand eczema. Determine if your eczema might be caused by irritants. Consider whether your eczema might be caused by an allergy. Determine if your hand eczema might have been caused by atopic dermatitis.

If you often feel like crying in certain situations, try imagining them in your head and playing out alternative situations. Repeatedly visualizing better outcomes in imaginary scenarios, in which you don't cry, can help you handle an actual situation.  For instance, if you have a tendency to cry during family conflicts, imagine a situation in which you talk to your family while remaining composed and confident. If you can imagine how you will appear when you don't cry, you'll have a plan. If you are trying to avoid crying when defending yourself, imagine situations in which you speak up. For instance, imagine meeting with your boss for an evaluation and saying “I appreciate your feedback on X issue. I'd like to offer my perspective on the same.” If you are trying to avoid crying when speaking in public, imagine yourself on a stage confidently delivering your speech, presentation, etc. Then, when you actually have to speak in public, you will already have rehearsed a good outcome. If you feel like you have a serious problem controlling your emotions, don't be afraid to seek help. Counselors are trained to help you understand your emotions and to develop techniques for understanding and controlling your feelings. Some medical conditions, like pseudobulbar affect and certain forms of depression, can cause outbursts of uncontrollable crying, or increase your likelihood of crying. If you often have the urge to cry, or can't seem to stop when you do, you may want to see your doctor to determine if there is an underlying cause that needs to be treated. While scientists still don't fully understand why humans cry, its clear that there is a relationship between crying and the expression of emotion. Crying can actually make the crier feel better, and cause others to feel sympathy and empathy, thereby forging connections between people. Remember that everyone has good reasons now and then to cry, and so you may not always need or want to stop. Try to avoid suppressing your emotions. It is healthier to accept that you...

TL;DR in English: Try visualization techniques. Talk to a counselor. Rule out any underlying medical problems. Understand that crying has a purpose.

Your reaction to wet glue depends on the type of glue that's begun to cling to your window. Certain types of glue will peel (mostly) cleanly from glass once they dry; others require scrubbing with hot water and solvents; and still others may never come clean without serious, glass-damaging effort. Check which type of glue was used:  Hot glue should be peel-able when dry. Let it set, then remove it cleanly. Elmer's liquid glue should also peel free when dry. Elmer's stick glue might come off with hot water, but it is more resistant than some other types. Tacky glue is usually peel-able when dry, but you can also try scrubbing it with hot water to head off the problem before it sets. Superglue is not going to come off without serious chipping. There's a good chance that you will scratch your window if you try to remove this super-adhesive substance. Glue can be much more difficult to remove once it sets. If you act while the glue is still wet and sticky, you may be able to remove the majority of the goop before it hardens onto your window. Hot water and a washcloth should do the trick if the glue has not dried yet. You can also use a paper towel, an old shirt, or the rough side of a sponge. Scrub the window for a couple of minutes until you remove all of the glue. When the surface is clean, dry it thoroughly with a rag. Inspect the glass, and repeat the process if the spot is still sticky.  Be aware that wet glue may stick to the washcloth, which may be difficult to remove. Use something old that you're willing to ruin. Scrubbing wet glue may simply spread the adhesive around, further obscuring the surface. If water and washcloth alone do not suffice, try using a heavier solvent. Rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, WD-40, industrial degreasers, vinegar, and lighter fluid should all help you lift still-goopy glue from a window surface. As with dried glue, rub the spot with a rag or paper towel soaked in your solvent of choice until the area is completely free of adhesive. First, soak a sponge in boiling water...

TL;DR in English: Consider the type of glue. Act quickly. Wipe wet glue with a damp washcloth before it sets. Use any solvent that you would use to clean up dried glue. Soften the glue with a hot sponge. Pour boiling water on the glue. Try freezing wet glue with an ice cube.

Either strike up the courage to ask him yourself, or get the information from someone else.  Make sure you are aware if he is single or not.     You may want to get someone else to ask him for you, or ask one of his friends that you trust and are comfortable with. Make sure it's not obvious that you're interested in him, or there may be trouble! If you find out that he already has a girlfriend, immediately back off. If his girlfriend suspects that you are trying to win him over, or she believes that he is cheating on her, there could be plenty of trouble, and you wouldn't want to get mixed up in that! Your crush could also misunderstand your intentions, and think less of you.    Scope out where he usually sits, and who he usually sits with.     Familiarize yourself with his likes and dislikes.     Know his taste, and what types of girls he is interested in.    When you pass by him in the hallways, smile softly, and greet him with a simple, "Hey." If he smiles and greets you back, that's a good sign. If he ignores you, keep trying for a little bit, then stop if it's obvious he isn't interested in you.  Not only does this step ensure that your crush is aware of your existence, but it will also begin your relationship with him!     Make sure you don't overuse this step, as it will get a little creepy!     When you smile, don't smile widely, or you'll appear a little freakish. A soft, small but noticeable smile will make you look pretty, and he'll think of you as an approachable, friendly person.    On all of your social networks and websites, label yourself as "single". Include casually that you're single in all of your profile pages. Go even further, and - if possible - wear a single bracelet! You don't have to completely change it just for him, but try playing around with hairstyles and clothing till you find a good balance between what you feel comfortable in and what he likes to see girls wear.  For example: If your crush likes sporty girls and/or sports, wear a baseball cap or shirt (his favorite team, if...

TL;DR in English:


Consider choosing a family name. Use a name from your religious or cultural heritage. Choose a classic or historical name that's out of favor. Use the birth month or other coincidental.

If you feel pain in your lower back that radiates along the path of sciatic nerve (through the buttocks, thigh, and lower leg), you may be suffering from sciatica.  Sciatica pain is often described as sharp, burning, needlelike, or tingling. In some cases, sciatica can be more localized around the buttocks, with radiation in the thigh, but no pain at the lower back. The specific pain pattern will differ from person to person, and is mainly tied to the underlying cause of the sciatica. Pain is usually present in one leg, but can affect both in some cases. Muscle weakness can occur during sciatica, due to the irritation and inflammation of the nerve.  Pain and muscle weakness can be so severe that it can affect your lifestyle and daily activities. The pain could be triggered by walking, bending forward or backward, and prolonged sitting or standing. In some cases, pain can get worse even with coughing, sneezing or hard laughing, although it usually recedes after. If your symptoms become especially acute, it is necessary to seek medical attention to prevent complications from developing. These signs include:  Progressive weakness or numbness in your lower leg or thigh Inability to control your bladder or bowel movement

TL;DR in English: Keep an eye out for lower back pain. Notice any new muscle weakness. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience the following symptoms.

If you are new to a work environment, you can learn a lot by watching other employees work, particularly those who have worked many years in the same industry.  Observe what kind of care they take to avoid contact with allergens, or, in some cases, learn what not to do by seeing the risks they take.  Before exposing yourself, you can see if their skin comes into contact with a substance; then decide for yourself if you want to modify the process, substitute a substance (if allowed), or use additional personal protective equipment. If you suspect contact dermatitis or are worried about exposure to a substance, do what you can to eliminate that substance from your work environment or minimize your contact with it.  In most cases your employer should have procedures in place your contact with harmful substances, such as those put in place through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If you or your employer are unable to eliminate the allergen or harmful agent altogether, steps should be taken to adjust your work environment or isolate the hazard from the workers.  The following are options of measures that can be taken:   Technical measures.  Adapting technical procedures that can isolate the agent, such as encasing the harmful agent in another substance or tunneling the harmful agent through an exhaust fan.  Organizational measures.  In some workplaces, only qualified employees (or those who have shown competence to work around a specific agent) are allowed to perform specific tasks in the workplace.  This minimizes the potential risk of exposure for other employees in the workplace.  Personal measures.  In some cases, simply increasing the amount of personal protective equipment (known as “PPE”) that employees are required to wear can minimize exposure to the allergen.  For example, a face mask can minimize an employee’s exposure to harmful vapors or fumes from a harmful agent. If you are concerned about your exposure to certain pathogens in your workplace, speak to you boss or supervisor...

TL;DR in English: Watch others work. Eliminate allergens. Adjust your workspace. Speak to your boss or supervisor about your concerns.

Losing weight means burning more calories than you consume. Losing 5 pounds in one week translates to 17,500 calories lost.  A combination of cardio and resistance training (weightlifting) leads to higher weight loss than either activity alone. But if you must choose one, those doing only cardio lose more than those doing only resistance training.  Consider High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). That's when you alternate between going all out and taking it easy. For example, you'd run in a dead sprint for 30 seconds followed by 60 seconds of jogging. This shortens your routine and burns more fat, believe it or not. In addition, when you're chilling on the couch, your metabolism stays high and you'll be burning more calories up to 24 hours later.HIIT is great for those with hectic lives — it only takes about 15 minutes. Just remember you still need to warm up and cool down. Stress is a huge cause of overeating. 60 minutes of yoga (done in the comfort of your living room during your favorite show) burns 180 – 360 calories — but that's not all. Studies have shown that practicing yoga leads to a number of benefits:  Reduced stress Increased body awareness (specifically hunger and satiety) Mindful eating Switching up your routine will keep you from plateauing and keep your body from getting used to your workout.  Varying your routine will help you stay motivated, a huge factor in success. Turn social events into opportunities for calorie burning. Skip the movies and go for frisbee golf, tennis, or swimming. Any activity can turn into exercise with the right mindset.  Opt for the stairs instead of the elevator. Use this as a reason to do chores. Do the gardening, wash your car — stay active! Walk or ride a bike to work or school. This also reduces your expenses and helps the environment, too! You may not see results immediately. Be patient.  As your body gets accustomed to the work out, kick it up a notch. Challenge yourself. Only do as much as you can handle. If you feel dizzy or faint, stop.

TL;DR in English: Develop an exercise plan. Take up yoga. Keep it fun. Find small opportunities. Stick to it.

This information will be helpful to your doctor as they try to diagnose the pain’s cause. Understanding the amount of time that your pain lasts for and how frequently it occurs will allow your doctor to prescribe the most effective pain medication. A brief, infrequent pain, likely has a different cause than a long-lasting, constant pain, even if both of the pains are similarly severe (e.g. both an 8). Say something like:   “The severe headaches never last for very long; maybe only about 15 or 20 minutes at a time. They happen three or four times per day, though.” “My pain in my hips is constant; I feel it throughout the day. There’s no point at which I’m not in serious pain.” It’s important for your physician to understand the ways in which your pain is hampering or worsening your daily life. This will increase a doctor’s likelihood of writing you an effective prescription for pain medication. If you find that your pain is interfering with your abilities to lead a normal life, or reduces your ability to perform daily functions, convey this to your physician. Say something like:   “The pain in my back has prevented me from being able to do some everyday activities that I never used to struggle with, like driving and working out.” “My pain is so intense that some days it’s not even worth getting out of bed.” Part of the reason that doctors are often hesitant to prescribe pain medications is that the meds are potent and can be habit-forming. Users of opioid-based pain medications—such as hydrocodone (e.g. Vicodin) and oxycodone (e.g. OxyContin and Percocet)—are at an especially high risk for developing a dependency. Even a prescription drug dependency can result in a potentially fatal overdose.

TL;DR in English: Explain the duration and frequency of your pain. State the psychological effect of your pain. Be careful not to develop a drug dependency.

One of the most common ways of selecting a middle name involves using it as an opportunity to pay tribute to a close member of your family. Choosing a grandparent's first name as the middle name for your child can be a great and moving way of paying tribute to your forebears.  You can go recent into your family tree, or you can go way back. Look at a genealogy report and find distant relatives for interesting and unusual historical names that are part of your lineage. If someone is giving up their last name as part of a marriage, it's also common to use that name as the middle name for a child. The middle name can be an excellent opportunity to select something spiritually or culturally significant, giving your child a sense of history and significance. Naming a child after your favorite saint, martyr, cultural icon, or other religious figure from your tradition can lend a gravitas to a name. Think of names that are significant to sharpening your view of the world and your own morality. Pop culture names are perfectly applicable, especially if they sound good. If Johnny Cash means a lot to you, naming a child Carter Cash might be a great way of paying tribute. It's sometimes popular to use the middle name as an opportunity to go way back and choose a retro or historical name that's less common than common names. Names like "Rosemary" or "Orville" are unusual in digital age, which might make them excellent and unique names to pick for the middle of your child's name. Go through old romantic novels from 100 years ago and check out the names. Keep a running list to go by and experiment with to see how you like older names. Use a coincidental word or name at the last minute to give your child a middle name. This can be an excellent way of using chance and coincidence to pick a name, which can actually be quite unique and moving for some people. Use the month the child is born to pick the middle name, like Alex June or Christian May. You could also use the day on which the child is born: Jacob Wednesday or Christa...

This allows your actors to get a real feel for the scene before they go out and waste time, tape, and/or film.  This way they can learn the lines together or, if you're allowing them to improvise, they can start now and generate ideas for lines they'd like to use. And by crew, we mean a group of people who may or may not really know what they're doing.  If you're really serious, put an ad in the paper and find a few guys who went to film school who know a little about lighting, recording sound or working a camera.  As a director, you'll be able to get closer to what you want from people who have even the slightest idea as to what they're doing.  Or, if you want a more hands-on approach and want to learn more about the various aspects of film making, ask some of your friends to hold mics or positions lights with you.  That way you'll both learn and you just might appreciate it more.

Good husbands and dads have a strong bond with their family, so be intentional about spending time with your spouse and kids as a group and one-on-one. Schedule in bonding time throughout the week.  You might start a new tradition of playing games or watching movies every Saturday night for group bonding time. For individual time, try sharing a hobby with your kids, such as tossing around a ball with one child or listening to another child practice the violin. Rise early to share a cup of coffee and enjoy the sunrise with your spouse before the kids wake. As a husband and a father, you can help your family build strong values by emphasizing the importance of family ties. Whenever possible, try to get your own family and  in-laws over for a meal or involve them in your kids' upbringing.  Plan a regular family outing or gathering, such as Sunday brunch. Ask your family and in-laws for parenting advice and invite them to parties and sporting events for your children. Good family values also include observing religious holidays, cultural rituals, and family traditions. This might include celebrating Hanukkah, attending church services, praying, or exchanging gifts on Christmas. Show respect to existing family beliefs and traditions and create new ones that are distinct to your family unit.  If you and your spouse have the same views, share those beliefs with your children. If  your views differ, find a happy medium so that your children have an understanding of both your backgrounds and beliefs. You can also try blending or alternating celebrations from both traditions. If you’re the type to immediately turn on the TV or laptop after a long day at work, try powering off the electronics for a while. Focusing on sports, TV shows, social media, or even bringing work home could create distance between you and your family. Give them the gift of being physically and mentally present.  If you typically use electronics throughout the evening, create an earlier cut-off time to devote more attention to your spouse and...

TL;DR in English: Carve out regular quality time for your family. Embrace other family ties. Cherish old traditions and build new ones. Unplug regularly to focus on your face-to-face relationships.

. There are three styles of expressing anger. Two expression styles, “passive” and “aggressive,” are not healthy ways to express your anger. The third style, “assertive,” is the most constructive way to express your anger. Assertive communication emphasizes that both people’s needs are important. To communicate assertively, give the facts without making accusations. Here is an example: “I was hurt and angry because it seems like you were belittling my project when you laughed during my presentation. I don’t know what was going on, but it seems like you weren’t paying attention or taking my hard work seriously. I could have just misunderstood what was going on. Can we talk and work this out?” Your communications should convey requests rather than demands. In order to get respect, you have to give it. Then you will foster cooperation and reciprocal respect. This is the opposite of what happens with anger. Aggressive, passive, or passive-aggressive communications put you at odds with others. Respectful communications might include:  “When you have the time, could you…” “It would be a great help if you… Thanks, I appreciate it!” If you hem and haw, or you make general statements that are not specific, it can only mean frustration for everyone involved. When you communicate assertively, you should directly address the person with whom you need to resolve your issue. Make it clear what you would like to see happen. Don’t forget to put this communication in the form of a request. For instance, if your coworker is speaking loudly on the phone and it’s difficult for you to do your work, you can state your request like this: “I have a request. Would you please lower the volume of your voice on the telephone? It’s making it very difficult to concentrate on my work. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.” When you figure out how you’re feeling, convey the real feeling, like hurt, and keep judgment statements out of it. Instead of saying, “I feel that you are an insensitive bore,” stick to things that pertain to you. For...

TL;DR in English: Communicate assertively Be respectful. Make your communications clear. Express your feelings.

Unless they have asked for specific information in the cover letter, you can condense the cover letter from 4 paragraphs to 2, in order to increase your chances of it being read. Ask someone else to also proof it before you send it out. Never rely on spell check in any word processing or email program. Word formats your text, so it may not align correctly when pasted into an email program. If you choose to cut and paste, it may show through if you cut or pasted from any other texts, such as the job posting. Text colors, fonts and italics may have a different look in a different program. If it is playful, your tone can be more playful. Always err on the side of caution, being more formal than informal. They will always trump these general rules of cover letter writing.

TL;DR in English: Remember that the larger the company is, the shorter your cover letter should be. Proof your cover letter no less than 5 times. Write drafts of email cover letters in a rich text format program, such as Text Edit or Notepad. Mirror the style of the job posting. Read and reread the job posting to find any specific application instructions. Use spaces between your paragraphs, rather than indentations. Don’t forget to attach your resume.

Bacteria can enter your urinary tract and grow, eventually impacting your kidney function. Or more rarely, if the bacteria travels through your bloodstream, it can move to your kidneys. One or both of your kidneys can become infected. Your urinary tract is made up of your kidneys, bladder, ureters (ducts that connect the kidneys to the bladder), and the urethra. Your first indication of a problem might be difficulty urinating. You might find yourself running to the bathroom, only to feel pain when urinating and an immediate urge to urinate even though you just did. Other symptoms of an infection include:  Fever Vomiting or nausea Chills Back, side or groin pain Abdominal pain Frequent urination Pus or blood in your urine (hematuria) Cloudy or smelly urine Delirium, or other uncommon symptoms, especially in the elderly Since women's urethras (the ducts that carry urine out of the body) are shorter, bacteria can travel easier causing infection. In addition to being a woman, other factors that increase your risk for infection include:  A weakened immune system Nerve damage near the bladder Something blocking your urinary tract (like a kidney stone or enlarged prostate) Urine that flows back into the kidneys If you have any symptoms of a kidney infection, you should contact your doctor. Since the condition requires medical treatment, it's best to get an immediate diagnosis. Your doctor will test your urine and may do an ultrasound to check for damage of the kidneys. The doctor may want to test your blood for bacteria and might look for blood in your urine sample. Since kidney infection is caused by bacteria, you'll probably be prescribed a course of antibiotics. You'll generally need to take these for about a week. In severe cases, you may be hospitalized while you get antibiotics. Always complete the course of antibiotics even if you begin to feel better. Stopping before you're done can cause the bacteria to return and resist the medication.

TL;DR in English: Understand what a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is. Look for symptoms of kidney infection. Think about your risk factors. Know when to get medical attention. Follow your doctor's treatment recommendation.

Forget about the classic 'listen to your teacher, do your work, work consistently' strategy. Instead, think long term. Relax, enjoy and have fun throughout the year. There is really no need to work your butt off for the internal examinations or try to impress your teachers because, in the IGCSEs, "only the boards matter!". When you do homework, you can test what you know on each subject, and you can look back at it for revision.  Every weekend, just read through the text. One chapter of each subject; whichever one you prefer, but, try not to repeat the same ones every time. A steady, ongoing state of learning will have you more than ready by exam time, rather than trying to cram at the last minute. Those breaks during the year provide a more relaxing, yet still work-focused, time to keep preparing consistently. If you use these times to keep learning, you won't stress anywhere near as much as those leaving it all until the last minute. This deeper learning and revision must begin well before the boards, so plan out a timetable and give up on about 90% of the fun you have been having at this point. It's serious study time! It may seem a long-term but it short in the bigger scheme of things and yet has such long-term impact, so dedicate yourself to the long-term outcome for the best.

TL;DR in English: Throw out previous thinking. Do your homework consistently during the year. Keep it in your mind that you need to get grades from A-star to C, because a D or lower is a fail. Read voraciously. Use your holidays and vacation as a time to study. Prepare in earnest from about six months, then really knuckle down at three months to go.

It's common for people with bipolar disorder to experience a shift as the seasons change. In some cases, a manic or depressive episode will last an entire season. In other cases, the change in season prompts the beginning of a cycle that includes both mania and depression. Manic episodes are more common in the summertime. Depressive episodes are more common in the fall, winter and spring. This is not a hard and fast rule, however; some people experience depression in the summer and mania in the winter. Some people with bipolar disorder have trouble at work and in school. In other cases, the person may seem to be doing just fine in these areas. Those with bipolar II and cyclothymia can often function at work and school. Those with bipolar I tend to have a harder time in these areas. Up to 50 percent of people who suffer from bipolar disorder struggle with substance abuse. They use alcohol or other tranquilizers to stop racing thoughts during manic episodes. They may also use drugs to try to achieve a high when they're in a depressive episode.  Substances like alcohol have their own effects on mood and behavior. They can be difficult to distinguish bipolar disorder. People who abuse drugs and alcohol are at greater risk of suicide. This is because substance abuse can increase the severity of both mania and depression. Substance abuse may also instigate a cycle of manic depression. People with bipolar disorder are often out of touch with reality. This occurs both during periods of extreme mania and periods of severe depression.  This can manifest as either a dangerously inflated ego or a sense of guilt that is not in proportion to real events. In some cases, psychosis and hallucinations occur. Breaks from reality happen most frequently in bipolar I during manic and mixed episodes. They occur less often in bipolar II and almost never in cyclothymia. Self-diagnosis is useful if it leads to taking the next step toward getting help. Many people live with bipolar disorder without receiving treatment. However, the...

TL;DR in English: Look for seasonal changes in mood. Understand that having bipolar disorder doesn't always impair functionality. Be aware of substance abuse issues. Notice breaks from reality. See a specialist.

Count the number of images that you want to save on your wall and purchase frames from an art supply or framing store. Insert your images into frames and hang them up in your home so you can look at them whenever you want. You can either hang them next to other paintings and photos in your home, or fill a new wall and store them together to create a gallery wall. Most photos from disposable cameras are 4 by 6 inches (10 by 15 cm) or 5 by 7 inches (13 by 18 cm). If all of your images are the same size, measure one of them use this as a reference when you go to buy your frames. Purchase photo albums with protective plastic pages for the images that are important but not worth memorializing on your wall. You can either pick up a single album to store all of your photos in one place, or get a separate album for different periods, events, or memories. Pick up acid-free envelopes designed from a craft or photography store. Put photos that you don’t want to preserve on the wall or in a photo album in the envelopes. Stack the photos so that they all face the same direction and fold the top of each envelope over to close it. Label each envelope with a short description or date to keep track of the contents.  You can also buy large storage boxes lined with acid-free cardboard and paper if you want to store all of your photos in one location. Store your envelopes in a dark location that won’t drop below 40 °F (4 °C) or exceed 80 °F (27 °C). If you want to ensure that your photos don’t go missing or get damaged, scan them to your computer to create a digital backup. You can scan all of your images, or scan a handful of images you want to save. You can pay a digitization service to do this for you. This is a good choice if you have hundreds of images and don’t want to spend hours scanning images on the computer.

TL;DR in English: Frame any photos that you want to save on your walls. Store memorable images in photo albums to keep them safe. Pack less important photos in acid-free envelopes and label them. Scan your photos if you want to preserve them digitally.

Put your snake inside a wash bag, pillowcase or something similar. Tie it shut. Alternatively, roll the snake up and then tie it up with white shoelaces or a similarly light-colored machine-safe cord. Do not use the snake's pull cord to do this, since the knots may tighten during washing, which means you might have to cut the cord to undo your bundle. First, set your washer to a small load on the delicate cycle. Start filling it with water and add a few drops of mild laundry detergent. Once the machine fills, switch it off. Once the machine has filled, place the snake in the soapy water. If it isn't too dirty, give it 15 to 20 minutes to soak. Give it 30 to 40 minutes if it's very soiled. Switch the machine back on once the snake has had a chance to soak. Let the cycle run to its end. Once the cycle completes, take the snake out of its bag or remove its ties. Pin the snake to a clothesline or hang it over a clothes hanger or drying rack so it can air-dry.

TL;DR in English:

The time to convince your guy to stay with you is not when he’s just come home after a stressful day of work or as he’s about to go out with friends.  He'll be more likely to hear you if both of you are at peace.  Try to talk after dinner or while you two are on a walk.  Say something like, “I know you’ve been talking about breaking up a lot lately, but I still want this relationship.  I love you and hope you’ll reconsider.” If you can’t talk during a stress-free time, be as calm as possible. Be rational, listen, and don't raise your voice. Try to hold back the tears if you can. Maybe your boyfriend wants to break up because he doesn’t know how much you care about him.  Use this time to tell him! You don’t want to wake up a year from now thinking of all the things you should have said, so tell him now. Say, “I know I may not show you or tell you enough, but I love you very much.  You're a great boyfriend to me and I want to work to show you that.  I’m willing to work on this if you're willing to be patient with me.” Your boyfriend might have a lot on his chest that he needs to get off.  Maybe his reasons for wanting a breakup are completely fixable, and maybe they're not. Hear him out and then decide what to do.  For instance, if he wants more alone time, you can both compromise on this by adjusting your schedules. On the other hand, if he wants kids while you done, it might be time to part ways. Let your boyfriend know that you understand his reasons for wanting to break up but that you need a little more time. Ask him for one more week together, and if he still wants to break up after that week, don't protest it. He may also refuse to give you an extra week. In this case, you should respect his reply. Continuing to beg for extra time will not help your cause. Maybe there are things your boyfriend did that you haven’t forgiven him for, and he's tired of being punished for them.  Or perhaps you have done things to him that you haven’t really apologized for. Take this time to give and receive apologies. For...

TL;DR in English: Talk during a stress-free time. Be honest about your feelings. Listen to his perspective. Ask for more time. Offer or extend forgiveness for the things you’ve both done. Take a break Suggest getting outside help.

One of the biggest misconceptions many people have is that they need to pretend to be someone they are not in order to get someone to like them. Be yourself around your crush, and he/she will appreciate you for who you are.  Show your special someone your true personality by sharing your interests and hobbies, sharing jokes that you think are funny, sharing what type of music you like, and acting in a way that feels comfortable for you. Never apologize for who you are! If your crush does not understand or appreciate your personality, then you need to consider whether you should continue to romantically pursue this person. A great way to start feeling more comfortable around your crush is be friends with him/her first. While you take time to get to know him/her better, focus on building up that friendship and trust between the two of you. Then, you will feel calmer and more comfortable around your crush. You could even try behaving around your special someone the way that you do around your friends. Treating him/her like a friend, and thinking of your crush as friend, might help you to feel more comfortable. Girls in particular struggle with this. There is often a feeling of always needing to look perfect when around your special someone. However, displaying confidence even when you do not look your best helps you to relax around him/her.  Wear clothing that feels comfortable to you. You do not always have to dress to impress; wearing jeans and a t-shirt or even sweatpants, if you are hanging out at home, is perfectly acceptable. If you are going on a date with your special someone, know where you are going or at least get an idea of what appropriate attire is. Dressing appropriately but comfortably will boost your confidence.  Having good hygiene habits also helps with comfort and confidence. Be sure to take care of your personal hygiene at all times. Many people cite that the most attractive quality of a person is the ability to be confident about who you are. Know your flaws but be accepting of them,...

TL;DR in English: Display your real personality. Build a friendship with your special someone. Have confidence in your appearance. Accept yourself for who you are.

Your Moluccan or umbrella cockatoo would normally form a monogamous bond in the wild. In captivity, your bird will bond with you. It will crave attention from you every day, so make sure you have at least a few hours to spend with your bird each day. For example, you might let your bird sit on your arm while you go for a walk or watch television. Additionally, you might play catch with your bird using a small ball or play dress up with your bird using doll clothes. Moluccan and umbrella cockatoos are extremely intelligent, so they need mental stimulation. Both of these breeds are likely to start feather-plucking if they get bored. Giving them a variety of toys can help them stay entertained. Look for toys with moving parts, as well as natural wood toys your bird can chew. Additionally, your bird will enjoy shredding ropes, cardboard, or paper.  Puzzle toys are a fun challenge for your cockatoo. Some puzzle toys allow you to place a treat inside the toy that your bird will work to retrieve. Your bird will get bored with its toys after a week or 2. Keep several sets of toys so you can cycle them. That way, your bird gets “new” toys every couple of weeks. Always monitor your bird while it’s out of its cage so it flies around safely. Before you let out your bird, always bird proof the room(s) it’s allowed to enter. Here’s how to bird proof a room:  Turn off ceiling fans. Make sure glass windows and doors have smudges so the bird doesn't fly into them. Remove, hide or cover electrical wires. Avoid using aerosol sprays. Blow out or remove candles. Avoid using essential oils. Clean up and cover flaking paint. Remove jewelry, especially costume jewelry, which can contain zinc. Put other pets in a different room. Your bird may get lonely if it’s left alone. Cockatoos are a flock animal, so they like company. Hearing voices from the radio or television will help them feel like someone is home, even while you’re out. You don’t need to turn up the volume very high. Turn it up just loud enough for it to be audible in the...

TL;DR in English: Give your Moluccan or umbrella cockatoo attention daily to keep it happy. Rotate several sets of toys so your bird stays stimulated. Let your bird out of its cage for a few hours each day. Leave your radio or television on when you’re going to be out. Train your bird to scream at certain times of the day.

The best way to start detoxing your colon is to eliminate the foods that are causing problems. Start to eliminate all the foods that are a burden to your liver and your colon. This includes coffee, white sugar, white flour, dairy, and alcohol. Stop eating processed sweets, which are full of white sugar and flour. Also avoid excess amounts of cheese or ice cream. There are certain foods that will help you detox your body. These include vegetables in the Brassica family, such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, collard greens, and cabbage. These vegetables contain many nutrients and specific complexes called sulforaphanes that are very important in helping your body detox.   Also make sure to eat plenty of fiber, because fiber-rich foods scrub the walls of the colon and push food through the intestines quickly. Some great high-fiber foods are green vegetables, apples, berries, and brown rice.  High fiber consumption can improve colon health by helping remnants inside the colon pass through. If you have never been tested for food intolerances, you may want to visit a doctor or natural doctor to have this done. Eating foods that your body has an intolerance to slows down colon functioning and increases the likelihood of bowel toxicity. There are certain foods that will help reduce the toxins in your blood. Studies have shown that chlorophyll reduces the absorption of toxins and helps with toxin excretion. Dark, leafy greens are very high in chlorophyll. Increase your intake of spinach, kale, collard greens, parsley, wheatgrass and seaweed. Try incorporating these into every meal. Add your eggs to a bed of steamed kale or throw some spinach and wheatgrass in a smoothie. You can also buy dried seaweed chips as a snack. Probiotics are good for overall colon health and also specifically help with detoxification. Probiotics decrease an enzyme in your body that causes your colon to hold onto toxins instead of excreting them. While it is a good idea to take a probiotic capsule every day for general health,...

TL;DR in English:


Push yourself to be more open to socializing. Look confident. Show people that you like them. Be nice.

Sleek black heels will add sex appeal and complete the high-fashion look of your leather lace-ups and black top. Pointed-toe black heels with ankle straps can look sharp with leather pants. High-heeled black booties with a chunky silhouette also work well and can add a rock-and-roll edge to your chic outfit. The sportiness of lace-up leggings goes perfectly with a pair of designer sneakers. High-top and low-top trainers both look great, so choose according to your personal style. You can branch out with color, but plain white sneakers can add a nice contrast while complimenting the overall minimal vibe of the outfit. Keep the rest of your outfit black and simple, then add a glamorous coat on top. You can tone down a racy outfit by wearing a statement coat over it without losing the overall high-fashion vibe. Complete the look with a pair of black cat-eye sunglasses. Go for high drama by wearing a duster-length black coat or one that is trimmed in fur. Your lace-up pants should be the most eye-catching element of your outfit. Choose minimal accessories in dark neutral colors. For example, carry a simple black leather clutch and wear a pair of basic black sunglasses. Wear a pair of nude ballet flats for the ultimate casual minimalism. Avoid wearing a lot of jewelry with this look, which can end up looking overwhelming.

TL;DR in English: Play up the raciness of leather lace-ups by wearing black heels. Wear trendy sneakers or trainers with lace-up leggings. Add a touch of glam with a long black statement coat and sunglasses. Keep your accessories simple and sleek.

Stamp dealers and hobby stores offer affordable packets containing hundreds of used stamps. These are excellent for kicking off a new stamp collection. Make sure the packet is "all-different" so you get a wide variety of stamps, not multiples of the same stamp. You can buy unused commemorative stamps from any post office, often with appealing designs aimed at collectors. Some collectors prefer these new, "mint condition" stamps due to the higher quality, while others enjoy reading the cancellation ink mark the post office puts over stamps used in the mail. You can specialize in one type or the other if you like, but it's fine to keep both types in your collection. Businesses often receive a lot of mail, and may receive mail internationally if they work with other businesses or international clientele. Friends and family might also be willing to save stamps from letters they receive, and pass them on to you. . If you enjoy writing and receiving letters, find a pen pal so you can have an ongoing conversation. Pen pal websites online might help you find someone in another country, who might use stamps you wouldn't normally find. Once you have sorted through a few packets of stamps, you might have a pile of duplicates, or stamps that don't interest you. You can trade these stamps with other collectors for their own duplicates, expanding your collection. If you do not have any friends or coworkers who collect stamps, ask employees and customers at the local hobby shop or stamp dealer if they're interested in trading. At the early stage of the hobby, it is best to trade one stamp for one stamp, instead of trying to learn the market value. One exception is stamps that are torn, damaged, or covered by a heavy cancellation (post office ink), which is typically worth less than a stamp in good condition. Seasoned stamp collectors often meet to share tips and trade stamps. If you want to meet more dedicated hobbyists, you can find a stamp show instead, where people compete for prizes with their stamp collections.

TL;DR in English: Start your collection with stamp packets. Buy new stamps from the post office. Ask local businesses and friends to save stamps for you. Get a pen pal Swap stamps. Join a stamp collector's club.

You do not, however, want to keep driving for long if you can help it. That said, sometimes you have no choice but to keep moving until you can get to help.  If the car does not overheat again, you may have had a one-time overheating due to a variety of factors (AC on, hot day, stop and start traffic). Still, you need to keep your eyes on the temperature gauge whenever possible to avoid more issues. Most cars are calibrated to sense overheating before serious engine damage, giving you some time to fix the problem. This does not, however, mean you should ignore your gauges. Air conditioning uses engine power to cool off the car, and you don't need your engine under any more strain than it can handle. Open the windows to cool off instead. While this seems counter-intuitive, cars heaters warm up by sucking heat made by the engine and blasting it into the car. Thus, turning your fans and heat to the highest settings will pull hot air out of the engine and cool the car. It may, however, get a little uncomfortable.  Turn the vents to point out the window to prevent things from getting too hot in the cab.  Alternately, you can set the heat to the "defroster" setting to avoid it blowing directly on you. Get yourself up to 2000 rpms with the car in neutral. This helps the engine and the fan circulate air quicker, getting cool air and coolant to the engine and helping you remove some heat from the car. If you're in stop/start traffic, this could be a great way to keep the engine moving when the car can't. Though not recommended for long drives, water will help keep your engine cool in a pinch. Add warm water to your radiator, but only after the engine has cooled. Cool water can cause a crack in your engine block due to the extreme change in temperature. If you absolutely must drive with an overheating engine, keep your eye on the temperature gauge. Every time it gets hot, pull over, turn the car off, and wait for 10-20 minutes as it cools. This is not great for the engine, but it is better than trying to drive through...

TL;DR in English: Keep driving after the temperature gauge lowers back down. Turn off the AC. Crank your heat up to full blast. Put the car in neutral and rev the engine. Add water to the radiator if you are out of coolant. Drive for short stretches, turn the car off, and repeat if you need to keep moving. Know that you will likely need to go to the mechanic if your car chronically overheats.

Flatten the sheet. Polish the papyrus. Cut the paper.

Place the turkey in your preheated oven and roast it for 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 hours, or until the meat thermometer reads 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius).  The cooking time will vary depending on the weight of the turkey. As a general rule:  Roast for 1-1/2 to 2 hours for an 8 to 12 lb (3.6 to 5.4 kg) turkey. Roast for 2 to 2-1/2 hours for a 12 to 16 lb (5.4 to 7.2 kg) turkey. Roast for 2-1/2 to 3 hours for a 16 to 20 lb (7.2 to 9 kg) turkey. Roast for 3 to 3-1/2 hours for a 20 to 24 lb (9 to 10.8 kg) turkey.   Note that these time ranges are for an unstuffed turkey. If you stuffed the turkey, you will need to add another 30 to 45 minutes to the cooking time. You should also test the temperature of the turkey breast before removing the bird from the oven. The breast meat must reach an internal temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit (77 degrees Celsius). Remove the finished turkey from the oven but let it stand in the roasting bag for another 10 to 15 minutes. During this resting time, the meat will continue to cook, and the juices will distribute themselves and settle more consistently. Carefully slice the top of the bag open with a knife. Remove the turkey and place it onto a cutting board or serving platter.  Be careful when opening the bag. The steam will be hot and may cause mild burns if it comes into direct contact with sensitive skin. To lift the turkey out of the bag and roasting pan, insert one carving fork into each end of the turkey, then lift it straight up and out. Carve the turkey as desired and serve it while the meat is still hot. If desired, you can pour the leftover cooking juices out of the bag and into a bowl or saucepan. Skim the oil and use the rest of the liquid for turkey gravy or broth.

TL;DR in English: Roast the turkey. Let it rest. Remove the turkey from the bag. Serve hot.

Shampooing your hair too often can strip it of its natural oils. Because damaged hair is already dry, you don’t want to dehydrate it any further. If you’re used to washing your hair every day, switch to every other day. If you usually wash every other day, switch to every third day. If you hair is greasy between washes, a dry shampoo can help freshen it. Spray the dry shampoo at roots to soak up excess oils and add volume. Be sure to work it through all of your hair to avoid powdery residue on the scalp, though. When you do wash your hair, it’s important to use the right shampoo. Choose a moisturizing formula that won’t dry out damaged hair. Look for a shampoo that contains hydrating ingredients such as argan oil, macadamia nut oil, or shea butter. Make sure that your shampoo is sulfate-free. Sulfates are harsh sudsing agents that can easily strip damaged hair of essential oils. If you’re used to washing your hair with hot water, it’s time to switch to a cooler rinse. Hot water can dry out your hair, leaving damaged tresses even more brittle and weak. Instead, rinse your hair with lukewarm or cool water to keep the moisture in. For the final rinse of your hair, it’s best to use cold water. It seals the cuticle so your hair appears smoother and shinier.

TL;DR in English: Wash your hair less often. Use a moisturizing shampoo. Rinse your hair with cooler water.

At this point, you should use your experience with previous meetings to determine both the number of people you can expect and how many people you want to be involved in financial and institutional decisions. This process will help you determine the by-law for quorum.  For example, you may find that three people show up to any given meeting, even if you have an eight-person board. In this case, you may overrule your majority quorum in favor of a three-person quorum. If your number of board members is flexible or changes frequently, consider using a percentage of board members present, rather than a set number. Ask the Secretary to write up the number required for a quorum. Give every member of the organization and opportunity to weigh in on the change before the vote.  Before the vote, give the members of the organization the proposed amendment to the quorum by-law in writing, as well as the existing by-law for quorum. Additionally, prior to the vote, provide the by-law as it will read once it is adopted. A two-thirds majority is needed for the vote to pass. Once the vote has been taken for the amendment to your by-laws, if it passes, it is adopted and cannot be reconsidered. However, if the vote fails, the vote can be reconsidered.  Send out the new, updated by-laws to members of the organization and the state and federal organizations that require copies of your by-laws. Remind people that any meeting that does not have a quorum will not be able to do legal business.

TL;DR in English: Decide on the largest number of members that can be expected to attend meetings. Vote on the number required for a quorum, so that you can place it in the by-laws. Adopt or reconsider the amendment to the by-laws.

A serious asthma attack requires immediate medical attention. Take action if you notice any of the following:  Lips or nail beds turning blue or grey Difficulty walking or talking Skin between ribs or above breastbone sucks in while breathing Rapid movement of nostrils, ribs, or stomach while breathing Expanded chest that does not deflate after exhaling Chest pain  For young children — Refusal to eat, inability to recognize parents Asthma is difficult to diagnose at home, and can be fatal in serious cases. If you experience any of the symptoms below, make an appointment with a doctor. If a doctor has failed to diagnose you, and you have one of the symptoms below, visit an allergy and asthma specialist.  Visit the doctor even if your symptoms don't match asthma. It could be another serious condition. Symptoms can change with each asthma attack. The symptoms may last just during the attack, or persist for much longer. Many asthma patients complain of tightness, pain, or unusual sensations in the chest. You may feel like someone is sitting on your chest. Do you ever feel unable to catch your breath, or to draw enough air into your lungs? This is a very common symptom of asthma. Exercising more vigorously than usual can cause this feeling in anyone. It's more likely to be a sign of asthma if even light exercise triggers this feeling. Until you get an official diagnosis, set exercise limits that don't cause breathing issues. Wheezing breath sounds like whistling or squeaking in your chest. This has several possible causes, but asthma patients often wheeze when exposed to allergens or viral infections (such as a cold). Some people with asthma suffer from coughing fits. These often happen at night or early morning, making it hard to sleep. If you or your biological family have allergies, eczema, or skin rashes, you are more likely to have asthma. Kids under the age of five often wheeze due to an infection or cold, even if they don't have asthma. A doctor may not be able to diagnose a child at this age, but he may...

TL;DR in English: Know emergency symptoms. Make an appointment for other symptoms. Watch for chest tightness. Think of times you've felt short of breath. Listen for wheezing. Track your coughing. Consider family history of allergies or eczema. Understand asthma in children.

The paper may not be completely flat after you remove it from the wooden boards. Put the paper under a stone slab for up to 6 days to make it completely flat.  During this time, the sugars within the papyrus will fuse together. If you are pressed for time, you can use the rolling pin to flatten the paper. This step isn't absolutely necessary, but it will make the papyrus look nicer and more finished. Use a shell or smooth piece of ivory. Any type of shell that is smooth and without ridges will do. Rub the shell or ivory over the sheet of paper until it appears to be shinier than it was.  A smooth stone will work as well. Do not rub with too much force or you could rip the paper. The sheet may be larger than you want when it is finished. Use a razor, scissors, or paper cutter to cut the papyrus into smaller sheets. Measure the sizes you are cutting so you will have multiple sheets of the same size. You can  make  a notebook out of the sheets of paper you've just made.

Your doctor will look over your health history and status to determine the next steps. They may recommend changes to your lifestyle before prescribing any medications or supplements. Head out in your neighborhood or hop onto the treadmill at the gym for a 30-minute walk. Go at a moderate-intense pace where you can barely talk or hold a conversation. Walking on a regular basis helps to increase blood flow to the brain and can also improve your blood oxygen levels, which can reduce the possibility of headaches. There is also some evidence showing that walking as soon as you experience headache pains may also reduce the duration of the headache. However, just make sure that you are not experiencing dizziness if you decide to try this out. Potassium-rich foods have been shown to reduce high blood pressure. Try to incorporate cantaloupe, melon, raisins, peas, and even potatoes into your daily diet. If you are worried about your levels, you can also talk with your doctor about taking a daily supplement or multivitamin. Other potassium-packed foods include sweet potatoes, bananas, and tomatoes. Magnesium helps out with many reactions in the body, including regulating blood pressure. Take the supplement daily before bed to help relax muscles, improve sleep quality, and manage hypertension headaches long-term. Magnesium is commonly found in spinach, almonds, and peanut butter. Snoring or restless nights can be a sign of sleep apnea, a condition which, if left untreated, can seriously elevate your blood pressure. Talk with your doctor about signing up for a sleep study. And, if you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, consider lifestyle changes, medication options, or even sleeping with a breathing mask. Sleep apnea boosts the levels of the hormone aldosterone, which can contribute to high blood pressure.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor about managing your blood pressure. Go for brisk walks at least 3 times a week. Ingest between 2,000-4,000 mg of potassium each day. Take a 200-400 mg supplement of magnesium. Get treatment for sleep apnea if you suffer from early morning headaches.

Your first draft can be as long or short as you need it to be, but many institutions and organizations have a word count or page count limits on personal statements.  If your statement is not long enough, you have space to add more supporting information.  When expanding your personal statement, look for ways to elaborate on the information you already have. Include more specific detail to create a fuller picture. Alternatively, you could introduce another point that contributes to your overall statement purpose. While it's not advisable to submit a statement that's too short, you also shouldn't add information just for the sake of having it. If your statement is a paragraph short of a full page but covers all your relevant information, you don't need to expand it. Avoid telling the reader why something is important to you. Instead, explain what you've done to show and develop the skill. When trimming your personal statement down, scan the essay for any parts that do not directly address your point. You should also cut points that only serve to provide background information.  You may also consider reducing your number of main points if one point does not seem especially significant. Unlike a short statement, a long statement can't be left long. Many application programs won't allow you to press the submit button until your statement is the correct length. That means that if your statement is too long, it needs to be cut down. Reading the piece out loud will give you a more accurate idea of how it sounds. As you read, listen for errors or clunky wording. You should also note any sentences that seem out of place or awkward. While listening to your statement, ask yourself if it sounds like your natural voice. If you were describing these things in person, would the way you speak sound like what you wrote? Ask at least 3 people you trust, such as a professor, your business partner, or someone successful in your field, to read over your statement and make suggestions for improvements. Different sets of eyes may...

TL;DR in English: Expand your statement if it's too short. Trim down your statement if it's too long. Read your personal statement aloud. Ask for constructive criticism. Proofread at least twice prior to submission.

Brainstorming can allow for the introduction of new ideas that weren't an original part of your plan. They can also help you get over writer's block at any stage of the writing process. Go somewhere you enjoy being, such as a local coffee house with a great vibe, the beach, the woods, your favorite reading corner. It's important to feel comfortable and at peace. If you're working with a friend or group of friends, find a place where you all feel comfortable and can speak freely without feeling self-conscious. Even when resting you can brainstorm. Lie down when you're tired and think about your novel and let the ideas run freely. Let the ideas flow freely, and don't stifle any of them. You never know which newly surfaced idea might develop further. Record all of the ideas as best you can (writing, recording on a device, filming, etc.). Which ideas have traction? Allow these ones to flourish and turn into real elements within your novel.

TL;DR in English: Use brainstorming for ideas and for moving past blocks. Brainstorm alone or with others. Focus on the part of the story needing new ideas. Allow the ideas to percolate in your mind for a few days afterward. Repeat as often as needed.

Before requesting a member of LEED comes to certify your building, you need know if your building or project is eligible. In general any new building -- commercial or residential -- is eligible to be certified if it is a permanent structure, meets local building codes, and fits the LEED size requirements. New Neighborhoods, building upgrades, and complete remodeling projects can all be LEED certified. There are different processes for all types buildings, including neighborhoods, renovations, and homes. Each certification is done by a different set of professionals:   BD+C: Building Design and Construction. This certifies any newly constructed building that meets LEED requirements.  O+M: Operations and Management. Certifies improvements to existing buildings that makes them more efficient or green.  ID+C: Interior Design and Construction. Certifies interior designs as healthy and efficient work spaces.  ND: Neighborhood Development. Certifies neighborhood construction, design, and planning.  Homes: Certifies individual homes as efficient in energy consumption and wast management. LEED credits add up to form your building's "LEED Score," and includes everything from solar panels to light pollution reduction. A complete list of potential credits can be found in the LEED Credit Library. As you plan your building, discuss potential LEED credits with your architect and designers to maximize your project's green efficiency. To become certified, you need a minimum of 40 credits.  Several credits, like "building water metering" are required to become LEED certified. Buildings can also reach for higher certifications, such as Silver (50-59 points), Gold, (60-79 points) or Platinum (80+ points) certifications. LEED certified Associate Professionals (APs) are trained to help you plan, design, and build LEED specific projects. They are required to pass rigorous exams and continue their education even after their test. When starting a project, look for the title "LEED AP" next to any builder or designer you hire. Each AP...

In most cases, when you purchase your glasses from an optometrist, optical office, or eye boutique, you will also receive a microfiber cloth intended for cleaning your lenses. This cloth is ideal for cleaning smudges and cloudiness.  If you've lost or misplaced your microfiber cloth, find a soft, clean substitute cloth. Cotton, so long as it's clean, should be suitable. It is important to use fabric that is not treated with fabric softener as that can cause streaks on the lenses.  You should avoid using: coarse fabrics, like wool and certain synthetic fabrics, facial tissue, or toilet paper, as these will cause tiny scratches to form on your lenses over time. These solutions are specially formulated to cut through dirtiness without doing harm to your lenses or coatings that may be on your lenses. Spritz a moderate amount of the cleaner onto your lens and wipe it clean with your soft, clean cloth. Do not use your saliva to clean your lenses. Saliva won't clean especially well and is unhygienic. If you don't happen to have glasses cleaner on hand, you can use a drop of dish soap and warm water to cut through grime and leave your lenses pristine. Use your fingers and carefully spread the soap over the surface of your lenses. Rinse the lenses clean of soap with warm water, and you're ready to move on. After applying your cleaning solution, you can take your soft cloth and wipe your lenses dry in gentle, circular motions. You should try not to use scrubbing motions, which can lead to lens damage over time. Depending on just how dirty your glasses really are, you may need another application of cleaner before you lenses become fully clean. After using your cleaner or dish soap and hot water, wipe your lenses with your soft cloth. Oil and dust can collect in the nook between your nose pads and lenses, creating a cloudy film in the area close to your nose. By using a soft bristle toothbrush, dish soap, and warm water, you can bust up this grimy buildup, though you should be careful not to scrub your lenses with the...

TL;DR in English: Acquire a soft, clean cloth. Make use of glasses cleaner. Clean with dish soap and warm water. Wipe your glasses with your soft cloth. Inspect lenses for stubborn stains. Break up nose pad residue.

Opt for clothing made of breathable materials, such as cotton, linen, or jersey. These fabrics will not constrain your body or cause you to sweat in the heat. They are also great for staying cool and put together, even on a hot weather day.  You may look for dresses, tops, and skirts made of cotton or linen. Or you may opt for a jersey dress in a simple cut that you can wear on a hot day. Shorts made of cotton or linen are also good options for staying cool on a hot day. T-shirts and collared shirts made of linen or jersey are also ideal. Fabrics like polyester, nylon, and silk may look nice on but they are not breathable materials. They will cause you to sweat and will retain body odors, making your hot weather day that much more uncomfortable.  You should also avoid clothing made of rayon or wool, as they are not breathable and will cause you to sweat more than you already are in hot weather. Silk is also a fabric that repels water, which will create a rippling effect on the fabric when you wear it on a hot, sweaty day. However, if you need to dress up for an event, you may opt for silk over more constricting fabrics like polyester or nylon. When you are choosing clothing for a hot day, you should go for fabrics that are light in color. Pastels and colors on the lighter end of the spectrum, such as white, beige, and gray, are all good options as they will absorb less sun than darker colors. Avoid clothing in dark colors or jewel tones, like emerald, purple, or blue. You should also avoid black clothing, as it will trap light and make you feel more hot in hot weather. If you work outside often or are walking around outside on a daily basis in hot weather, you may opt for the comfort and breathability of work out clothing. A lot of work out clothing is made of materials that absorb sweat and keep you cool as you sweat. Often, work out clothing is also made to be comfortable and easy to move in as you go about your day. If you work in an office setting or another professional setting, work out clothing may not...

TL;DR in English: Go for clothing made of cotton, linen, or jersey. Avoid clothing made of polyester, nylon, or silk. Stick to light colored fabrics. Consider work out clothing as an option.

Before you bleach your hair you should apply a deep conditioner to help protect it and keep it as healthy as possible. Bleach will greatly dry out your hair, so adding as much moisture to your hair as possible before you bleach it is an important step. That added moisture will lessen the damaging effects of the bleach.  Wash your hair a few days before you bleach it, but try to hold off until after you bleach it to wash it again. Bleaching freshly washed hair can irritate your scalp, so it's best to bleach hair that has more natural oils in it. You can use a few tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil as an alternative to deep conditioner. These products will still condition your hair, giving it the moisture it needs. Put on an old t-shirt or towel to prevent bleaching your clothes and gather the ingredients and tools you will need: a small bucket or a color bowl to mix the bleach, a tint brush, and rubber gloves. You can purchase bleach for your hair at a local drugstore or cosmetics store. You'll also need to buy some developer, which helps to lift hair color quickly. Follow the directions on the label to mix the bleach and developer together.  The higher volume of developer will lift more levels of color out of your hair. A lower volume developer will lift less levels of color out of your hair, leaving it a darker shade after you have finished bleaching it. If you want to take it easy and bleach your hair slowly, it's best to use a lower volume developer. Salons usually use a 20-volume developer. A bleach and developer mixture is what salons typically use to bleach hair. You can definitely a purchase a boxed-dye mix, but you can't customize it to suit the needs of your hair. It's beneficial to buy the items separately. The cost will be about the same and you'll have better luck protecting your hair. Some people have allergic reactions to certain hair products, so you'll need to test a portion of your hair to make sure the bleach doesn't harm you. Take the mixture and using a toner brush, apply to a one to...

TL;DR in English: Pre-condition your hair. Gather ingredients and prepare your area. Mix bleach with a developer. Test a strand of hair. Section your hair into four parts. Apply the mixture evenly through your hair. Wrap your hair in foil. Let your hair sit for 30 to 45 minutes. Apply toner to your hair. Rinse out the toner and apply conditioner. Repeat this process two weeks later.

This is a middle ground approach, moderately effective and relatively easy to install. You can expect it to add roughly 6 to 9 "STC points," reducing loud conversations to indistinct speech or murmurs. If you're trying to block music and other loud noises, decouple the ceiling instead. Use the decoupling method for concrete ceilings as well. Drill a quarter-sized hole in the ceiling and look for insulation. If none is present, blow in cellulose or medium density fiberglass insulation. There is no need to repair the holes afterward, since you will be installing new drywall underneath.  Do not install new insulation if there's any old insulation, even if it's worn out. The old insulation will prevent you from blowing in new insulation evenly. Avoid foam insulation and expensive "extra dense" products. These can make low density vibrations worse. "Green Glue" or another damping compound will reduce vibration between the two layers of material. Apply it to the back of a new sheet of drywall, according to label instructions.  ⅝" (15.9mm) drywall is recommended, since extra mass blocks more sound. However, if the existing drywall is ⅝" thick, choose ½" (12.7mm) sheets for the new layer. Different thicknesses resonate at different frequencies, so two different types will block more sound.  You can buy pre-dampened drywall, but this is expensive and no different from what you could make yourself. . Screw the drywall to the underside of your ceiling. Try to keep the gap around the perimeter as small as possible. Even a narrow gap around the perimeter or ceiling fixture can let a lot of noise through. Before choosing an acoustical caulk, read the label carefully:  Confirm the caulk is suitable for use on your materials. Check whether you can paint over the caulk. If not, make sure the color matches your ceiling. Consider a fire-resistant caulk to prevent spread of fire between floors. This may be required by your local building code. The damping compound is a major part of this installation. It may take ten days or...

TL;DR in English:


Use a toothpick to poke a small hole or indentation into the bead before you bake it.  The indentation should be centered over the position you plan to drill a hole through. This indentation can serve as a guide when you start drilling into the hardened, baked bead later. If you forget to make the

Many people jump straight to drastic measures instead of simply talking to the neighbor about their concerns. Unless you're on bad terms with your neighbor, the best way to solve this problem is usually to just talk to him or her about it. You could casually approach your neighbor next time you see him or her outside, or write a note asking to set up a time to talk.  Your tone at this point should be friendly and be respectful, yet firm. Don't make legal threats; you may have to do that later, but for now, try to keep things civil. Assume your neighbor is unaware of the problem. Say something like, "I knew you'd want to know that Sadie's barking is audible to us at night, especially since our bedroom faces your yard." Explain that the barking is having a negative effect on your sleep, concentration, and so on, and that you would like to work out a good solution. Thank your neighbor for hearing you out and making a change. Most considerate neighbors will do their best to accommodate you right away. It's possible your neighbor is well aware of the issue but isn't sure how to  get the dog to stop barking. If you're pretty sure you know what the problem is, there's nothing wrong with making suggestions. This is especially effective if you're a dog owner, too. You can commiserate over how tough it can be to get a dog to stop barking. Here are a few common problems you might consider bringing up:   Dogs kept outside commonly bark from boredom; this is especially true for energetic breeds like German Shepherds, terriers (including Pit Bulls), and guard dogs like Dobermans and Rottweilers. Suggest that the dog needs more exercise.  Some dogs are very excitable and nervous, and they bark at everything that passes. Obedience training can be very helpful. You might want to provide the names of a few well-rated training schools in the area. Dogs also bark when they're either too cold or too hot. Many people have the misconception that dogs' fur keeps them warm in subzero weather; it's not the case unless the dog is a...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your neighbor. Make helpful suggestions. Try to agree on a concrete solution. Block the dog's view. Get backup from other neighbors.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, sherry, and one tablespoon of the soy sauce. Add the beef to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the beef in the sauce. Set the bowl aside for 10 minutes to let the meat soak up some of the sauce. Instead of sherry, you can also use Shaoxing wine, or another rice wine. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the cooking oil into a skillet or wok. Heat the wok over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the meat. Cook the beef for a minute. Use a spatula to flip the meat, and cook it for another minute. Good oils for stir frying include peanut and canola. When the meat is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and set it aside. Add the remaining cooking oil to the wok and let it heat up. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion and garlic, but reserve the scallions. Heat the onion and garlic for one to two minutes, until they become aromatic and start to brown. For an even heartier dish, add 1 cup (75 g) of chopped mushrooms to the wok with the onion and garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, pepper, salt, and the remaining soy sauce. To give the sauce more depth, use a combination of regular and dark soy sauces. You can use ground black pepper, ground white pepper, or white pepper powder in the sauce. Add the meat back to the hot wok. Stir the meat a few times. Add the sauce to the wok and stir to combine all the ingredients. Cook the mixture for one to two minutes, until the beef is cooked through. When the meat is cooked through, add the scallions to the wok. Toss them a few times to warm them and coat them in the sauce. Serve the beef and onion stir fry immediately while it’s still hot. You can serve this dish on its own, or with steamed rice or noodles on the side.

TL;DR in English: Marinate the beef. Brown the beef. Cook the onion and garlic. Make the sauce. Heat all the ingredients together. Garnish with scallions and serve hot.

If possible, use a toothpick to poke a small hole or indentation into the bead before you bake it.  The indentation should be centered over the position you plan to drill a hole through. This indentation can serve as a guide when you start drilling into the hardened, baked bead later. If you forget to make the indentation before you bake the beads, you can still poke a hole into the bead just after it bakes, while the clay is still warm and partially soft. You will need to use a rigid metal pin or needle instead of a toothpick, however. If you are working with polymer clay beads that were baked long ago and cannot create any indentation, consider at least marking the spot you want to drill a hole through with a pencil or marker. Since polymer clay is such a soft material, you should not use a power drill or power rotary tool to create a hole. All you need to use is an unpowered drill bit.  The drill bit should be about as small as the size of the desired hole. This means sticking with drill bits 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) or smaller. Common drill bits should suffice. There is no need to use a harder bit material. Place the bead in a small patch of toy putty or poster putty so that it will remain still during the drilling process.  Alternatively, you can hold the bead with pliers or in between your fingers. Since you will not be using any power tools, it should be safe to hold the bead. A small clamp could also be used, but it usually isn't necessary. Position the drill bit directly over the indentation. Use your fingers to twist through the bead, continuing at a steady pace until the bit pierces through the opposite side.  The drill bit should be straight and perpendicular to the guiding indentation previously created on the surface of the bead. Make sure that you are twisting the bit straight through the bead. Apply as little pressure as possible and avoid forcing the bit through the bead. Alternatively, you can hold the bit still while twisting the bead onto it. If you are unable to twist either the bit or the...
