Drain any standing water. Trim your weeds. Clear away debris. Turn off outside lighting. Keep pet food inside the house. Kill the insects on your property. Set up fencing.

If you are straight, imagine living in a world where heterosexuality was stigmatized. Think about how your life might be different and how you would want other people to treat you. Now consider what your friend faces each and every day, and think about how you can make a difference in their life by being a good friend to them. Despite increasing societal acceptance, LGBTQ people still face issues like workplace and housing discrimination, mental health problems, violence, and judgment from family and friends. Additionally, some LGBTQ people face outright rejection from their families. Being aware of these issues can help you support your friend better. Understanding the history of the LGBTQ community and the problems they face today can make your friend’s orientation easier to understand and, eventually, to accept. Talking to your friend is a good start. You can also find plenty of educational resources online.  One good resource is the GLBT Historical Society’s website at http://www.glbthistory.org/. Another good resource is the PFLAG website at https://www.pflag.org/. If you don’t understand something, don’t just leave it a mystery. Talking with your friend will help you iron out things you need clarification on. Remember, though, that your friend is just one person and doesn’t speak for all LGBTQ people.  If you ask a question your friend doesn’t know the answer to, try to find an answer together. Take matters into your own hands and learn some things on your own through research. Your friend will most likely really appreciate your effort and interest. If you feel uncomfortable or challenged because of your friend’s orientation, take some time to think about why you’re feeling this way. Ask yourself whether your beliefs or attitudes make you feel negative towards LGBTQ people. If so, look for ways to address these issues.  For instance, you could talk to someone else about your feelings or find more information on the issue. Remember that your feelings and beliefs are your own responsibility, not your...

TL;DR in English: Put yourself in your friend’s shoes. Educate yourself. Ask questions. Examine your own feelings about your friend’s orientation.

The cabbage won't be ready for at least this long. The plants start out with looser leaves and build up heads over time. The plants are ready to harvest when the heads feel hard and dense. If you are facing a hard frost or high summer temperatures, you can harvest the leaves even if the heads haven't formed yet. Hold the cabbage head with one hand. Reach just under the last flat leaves, and slice through the stem. The cabbage should pull away easily.  Harvest cabbages when they appear to stop growing. If you wait too long, the head can flower and go to seed. If the season isn't over, the stem may grow a few offshoots. Before storing, you should remove the outer leaves. Trim them off with a sharp knife or a pair of scissors. Use these up in a stir fry or salad. Place it in the vegetable section of your refrigerator for the longest shelf life. You can also store it in a root cellar for up to 3 months.

TL;DR in English: Wait 60-90 days after you plant. Harvest the cabbage head at the stem with a large, sharp knife. Store the cabbage in the refrigerator for up to a month.

There are a variety of websites online that offer links to live streams of all the popular (and niche) TV channels. These sites are of questionable legality, and you may run into issues trying to load the stream.  A few of the more popular sites include World Wide Internet TV, Live TV Cafe, and Stream2Watch. Many of these services are ad-supported, and you may need to deal with popups and other advertisements in order to watch. These sites are great for watching content from other countries, as they often cover countries around the globe. Most streaming sites have a list of all the available channels, as well as categories and search features. Use these to find the channel that you want to watch. After choosing a channel, you may need to choose from a selection of streams. These are streams running on different servers, and some may be down while others are up. Find the stream that works best for your connection. You will usually have to wait for advertisements to disappear, or manually close advertisements that appear on top of the video player. They typically have a small "X" icon that you can click to close them.

TL;DR in English: Find a streaming site. Find the channel you want. Choose the stream.

Depending on where you are, talking with some of your neighbors may be the best way to avoid boredom. Pay them a compliment, make a comment about your surroundings (the weather, the train, a street musician), or simply introduce yourself if you have never formally met them. You never know what you will learn from your neighbors, and what opportunities getting to know them might bring. Maybe you will find out they enjoy gardening as much as you do, or that they can play the guitar and will give your free lessons. You can go to a local gym or community center and develop a personal exercise routine by doing push-ups, sit-ups, and weightlifting for you to work on by yourself. Grab a few friends to go bike riding, skateboarding, or to just get outside and play in the park.  Consider a more structured exercise routine with physical activities like dancing, yoga, or running. Doing more structured physical activities may even lead you to make new friends.  Exercising may not be easy when you first start out, especially if you aren’t normally active. People who exercise with someone who has a similar fitness level and similar fitness goals are more likely to enjoy themselves and stick to regular exercise. This is a great way to fill up empty weekends, especially if you enjoy spending time with people. If you have always wanted to play on a baseball or volleyball team, see if your community has a recreational team. They are usually low-key, weekly games that get you out of the house easily.  Contact your local Department of Parks and Recreation and ask about local sports leagues for both children and adults. The easiest way to contact the department would be over the telephone or online. The website might even have a sports schedule posted. If your community does not offer recreational sports, arrange a group of friends to play a pick-up game or other outdoor game. Try out games like ultimate frisbee or capture the flag. Tending to plants is very relaxing, makes you feel connected to the earth, and requires almost...

TL;DR in English: Chat with your neighbors to get know people in your community. Develop an exercise routine that will get you out of the house. Join a local sport to meet people with similar interests. Pick up gardening to give yourself something to tend to on a daily basis. Engage in daily outdoor activities like walking or hiking. Volunteer with a local community service to help those in need. Mix up your social life with something new or surprising. Camp out in your backyard to change your sleeping environment.

Frogs are attracted to moisture, so removing sources of water from your yard will cause most frogs to lose interest and find another place to lay their eggs and shelter at night. You can rent a pump to get rid of most water sources.  Birdbaths, swampy areas, bowls of water, and artificial ponds are just a few examples of water sources that attract frogs.     Removing sources of stagnant water will also drive away mosquitoes and other insects that frogs feed on, making the area even less appealing. If the water source in your yard is something you want to keep, like a natural pond, try adding a filter or running fountain to your pond. This will cause the water to circulate, thereby eliminating most mosquitoes and other insects. The frogs will still be attracted to the water, but with a decrease in food supply, many may still end up moving on. Tall grass, shrubs, or other bushy plants make the perfect hiding place for frogs. Clearing these elements away forces the frogs to be exposed, which is a condition they generally try to avoid. Having tall plants around a water source is especially troublesome. If you want to maintain tall or bushy plants somewhere in your yard, position them as far away from any water source as possible. Like tall grass, clutter in your yard serves as an excellent hiding place for frogs. Removing it will chase many frogs away. Remove empty pots, old lumber, piles of wood chips, or any other structure that may create a damp, dark place for frogs to hide. Light attracts insects, and insects attract frogs. Turning off your outdoor lights at night will reduce both insect and frog populations.  Shut off garden lights and porch lights. Close the drapes and curtains in your house to reduce the amount of light filtering out from inside. While somewhat uncommon, frogs do occasionally steal dog food or cat food. Feed your pets inside or keep the dish inside when the dog or cat is not eating. Since flies, mosquitoes, and other insects are the primary food source for frogs, killing the bugs will...

TL;DR in English:


Do not apply water. Apply an oil paint solvent to the stained area. Reapply solvent, if needed. Add dish soap to the bucket of warm water. Launder your shirt.

However your parents react, you will need to accept it. Remember that they will likely be surprised and emotional. Instead of arguing or fighting with them, accept their response. Remember that everyone needs time to process their thoughts and feelings. You can say, “I’m sorry you feel that way. I won’t pressure you, but I do hope you’ll change your mind.” This could be a really emotional conversation for both you and your parents. If it seems like you are talking in circles, consider taking a break. You could suggest that you choose a time to have a follow-up talk. Say, “We all seem tired. Could we talk about this again on Saturday?” It might be pretty tough if you don’t get a supportive reaction. Try to focus on the positive parts of your relationship. Remember that they might not always be so angry or sad. Try to give them some time to process. This doesn’t mean that you should let them treat you poorly. Remember to stick up for yourself. You might be pretty tired after such a big conversation. Remember to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally. Try getting something to eat and doing something relaxing. You might see if a friend wants to go for a walk. Don’t forget to do things that make you happy. Listen to your favorite music, watch a funny show, or read a good book.

TL;DR in English: Accept their response. Plan a follow-up conversation. Be patient. Practice self-care.

Try glamming up your look at night by wearing more of it and wearing bolder colors. Or, have fun makeover parties with friends (or by yourself) where you try out bolder and more vivid colors that you might be too timid to wear during the day. All-over foundation can look very caked-on and unnatural in the sun’s harsh light. At night, under artificial lights, you can feel a little more free to apply foundation all over for more complete coverage. Apply it the same as you would concealer or BB cream. Dab it all over your face, and blend it gently with your fingers or a blending sponge. If you put on too much at this point, don’t worry. Just wash your face and start again. Highlight your face by applying a highlighting powder on the areas of your face that light from above would naturally illuminate—your forehead, your nose, the tops of your cheekbones, and your chin. To [Apply Contour Makeup|Contour]], on the other hand, apply dark makeup under your cheekbones or jawline to create shadows that add definition to these areas. It takes some practice to get really good at highlighting and contouring, but once you have it down, you will be able to create some dramatic looks. Instead of the neutral and nude eyeshadows that you’d use for a natural look, try out some bright colors or sparkly shadows. Try out some bright blues, purples, or even rainbow-colored. Or, apply a glittery shadow to your eyelid for a really fun look. Use a dark eyeliner pencil to make your eyes really stand out. To apply basic eyeliner, draw a line from the inner part of your top eyelid, just above your lashes, all the way to the outer edge of your eye. You can stop there, or you can apply it to your lower lid as well, just below the lashes. Or, practice creating a dramatic look like a cat’s eye style or winged style. Instead of your clear lip gloss, experiment with bold and dark colors. Try on some reds, purples, or even bolder shades like black or orange.

TL;DR in English: Wear bolder-looking makeup for parties, dates, or just for fun around the house. Apply foundation all over your face to mask any problem areas and even out color. Experiment with highlighting and contouring. Make your eyes pop with a bright-colored eyeshadow. Create show-stopping eyes with dark eyeliner. Be bold with a deep-colored lipstick.

While it is best to make the juice in small batches so that it does not go bad, it will be helpful to have extra onions on hand for when you need to make the next batch. Peel it off using your fingers, or you can cut the onions into chunks, which often helps the skin come off easily. You have three options for doing this, based on what kind of kitchen appliances and tools you already own:  A juicer: Cut the onion in small chunks and feed them through the juicer. A blender or food processor: Cut the onion into about four chunks and process the chunks in the blender or food processor. Strain the mixture through a metal strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl so that only the juice remains. A grater: Cut the onion in half and run each half over the grater. Strain the grated onion through a cheesecloth over a bowl to extract the juice. Fresh, pure onion juice is potent and can cause a reaction if you are allergic. Do not proceed with the rest of the steps if you are allergic. Carefully pour the juice over your scalp, and then use your fingertips to massage it into your scalp. Adding the massage gives the process extra power to stimulate your hair follicles. In order to achieve the best results, the onion juice needs to sit on your scalp for at least a half an hour. Once the time is up, shampoo and condition your hair as usual to remove the onion smell. It is recommended to repeat this method three times per week for best results within a couple of months.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a few onions. Peel the skin off the onions. Decide how you will obtain the juice from the onion. Test the onion juice in a small, hidden spot on your skin to test for an allergic reaction. Apply the onion juice to your scalp and massage it in. Leave in the onion juice for at least 30 minutes, up to one hour. Wash your hair as you normally would. Repeat three times per week.

This won’t help, and it might just dilute the other cleaning liquids you plan on using. This would include distilled turpentine. Alternatively, you can use WD-40, which is a spray that displaces oil and water.  Rub the stained area with your first rag. Try to gently scrub out the stain. Wipe down with the second rag. Examine to see how much of the stain has been removed. If the stain isn’t gone, reapply the solvent, and repeat the scrubbing and wiping steps. Soak the shirt in the bucket for about an hour. This will help cut both the paint grease and the solvent you used as a cleaner. Immediately after soaking, launder the shirt alone in a washing machine.

Cut off power from the breaker or fuse box to avoid injury. Connect doorbell wires to the chimes. Secure the chimes into position. Attach the doorbell switch near your door. Attach the wires so that the transformer is connected to both the chime and the doorbell. Attach the switch and chimes with twist wire connectors. Restore power and test the doorbell.

Make your sandwich a little more interesting by adding things like granola, pretzels, or Ritz crackers. The added benefit of granola is that it gives you more fiber and nutrients and is a healthier option. There are lots of different sweet things you can add to your sandwich, like syrup (especially maple syrup), a cut up banana, some honey, brown sugar, or different kinds of berries (blueberries, pomegranate seeds, etc.). This will give your sandwich a little more crunch and a little more taste. It is also helpful when spreading peanut butter, because it doesn't tear as easily as regular bread. You could also try using biscuits instead of bread, because the peanut butter and jelly would spread really nicely and there would be a little different taste. You'll need 2 slices of bread, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons milk, some cinnamon, some brown sugar, and the peanut butter and jelly. Mix together cinnamon, egg, milk, and brown sugar. Dip your slices of bread into the mixture, making sure you don't coat it too much. Put bread in skillet and cook for a couple of minutes. Flip the bread and cook a couple more minutes. Remove from skillet and spread with peanut butter and jelly and return to skillet, cooking for about a minute on medium heat. Put on plate, cut in half, and eat! Whip up some homemade banana bread and spread it with your usual peanut butter and jelly. This a delicious treat and gives you the benefit of the bananas with the bonus of the sweetness of cake.

TL;DR in English: Add crunch. Add more sweetness. Toast your bread. Use french toast for the bread. Use banana bread for the bread.

You can make use of apps that can be used to make it appear as if you are receiving a phone call. Browse the app store on your iPhone, Blackberry, Android or other smartphone device by using a search term such as "fake call." There will be options on the app store that are offered for free or can be purchased. Be sure to read reviews to determine what features will suit your needs best as the features will vary between apps. You may also find apps that generate prank calls by offering specific personalities such as celebrities, characters or even a significant other. These may not provide the same versatility as general apps, but may be useful for themed occasions such as the holidays or birthdays. You may have options available such as making a fake identity for your mystery caller, using a contact from your contact’s list, pre-recording audio and scheduling the call. Plan out when you are to receive a call to use in an appropriate situation.  Apps will allow you to create a name, phone number and provide a photo to create an identity to a fake caller. When receiving a call, the phone call interface will look similar to the phone call interface of your phone. You can also choose between other phone interfaces if it does not match your device. In some apps, you are allowed to create your own interface. Try to match it as close as possible to yours. Handing the phone to someone who is familiar with your phone device may uncover your prank. Apps can provide an array of audio clips that provide different topics, personality types or you can even create your own by providing a compatible audio file. The app may not allow you to record a conversation, but you will be able to use other apps to record audio. Apps will allow you to place the call immediately. If you want the app to call at a later time, you can set it’s scheduler to place a call after a certain period, or you can have it place a call at a specific time. You can use allow the app to run in the background or place your phone in sleep mode to simulate...

These "solar blankets" minimize water evaporation, just like a regular pool cover. As it insulates the surface of the pool, solar blankets also allow some of the sun's energy to go through the cover and into the water, where it turns into heat. This makes your pool water warmer, which means the swimming pool heater is required to run far less often and for shorter periods of time. Solar pool covers are one of the most effective and energy efficient ways to heat your pool.  Solar pool covers can extend your swimming season and reduce the amount of water that needs to be added by 30 to 50 percent. They can also reduce the amount of chemicals a pool needs by 35 to 60 percent, and help keep dirt and debris out of the pool, which reduces cleaning time. Solar pool heating panels collect heat from the sun to warm pool water. Once installed, they have no operating cost, are very easy for a home owner to install and are typically very durable in all climates. The only drawback is that if the sun doesn't shine, your pool isn't heated. Solar pool heating panels are an excellent solution for those who live in warmer climates and have a lot of sunny days throughout the year. These systems are in the same general price range as gas and heat pump heaters. Solar heating systems have minimal operating costs and they are the most cost-efficient choice for people who live in warm, sunny climates. These systems include 4 main features – a solar collector, a filter, a pump and a flow control valve.  The pump sends water through the filter and then through the solar collector, which heats the water and returns it back to the pool. If you live in a hot climate, the solar collector can help you cool your pool water down during the summer months. It does this by running the water through the solar collector during the night.

TL;DR in English: Use a solar pool cover. Install solar pool heating panels. Invest in a solar heating system.

Make sure that the circuits that supply electricity to the power sources you are working with are shut off before starting the installation. Turn off the appropriate switches at your breaker panel or fuse box. Test light switches or other outlets in the area to make sure the power is off. Remove the cover on the chimes, and run the wires through the guide channel to the correct terminals. Wrap the ends of the wires around the appropriate terminals. Screw the holding screws into position.  You can choose from a variety of door chimes with different dimensions and sound options. Many models of chimes will include small wiring diagrams printed inside to help with installation. The cover should pull off the chimes easily without the use of tools. For future reference, label the wires by writing where each one is meant to go (e.g. transformer, doorbell switch) on small pieces of masking tape attached to each one. Make sure that you can run the wiring attached to your chimes to your transformer. Hold the new chimes on the spot that you want to attach them and use the screws provided to attach the device to the wall or ceiling. Once the chime plate is secured, fit the cover over the device and gently push until it snaps into place. Choose a location for your doorbell switch near your entrance way. Drill a hole to run the wires coming out of the back of the switch into the wall, toward the chimes and transformer. Most models will have screws included to secure the plate into position. Install the screws with an electric drill, then slide the cover over the device until it snaps into position. Carefully wrap the ends of the wires around the transformer terminals. This small metal device will convert the AC power coming from the door switch to a lower voltage power to power the chimes.Transformers are often mounted directly onto an electrical box to keep high voltage wires enclosed. Use plastic twist wire connectors to easily link wires between the switch and chimes. Bring the ends of both wires together and place the...

Many shelters are offering expedited or reduced-cost adoptions to make more room at the shelter for other animals. Adopting is also a great way to get a new companion if you’re feeling lonely at home. Just make sure that you’re prepared to take care of an animal long-term and that you’ll be able to afford the cost of food, pet supplies, and vet bills in the future.  Your local shelter may not allow adoptions during the outbreak, but they may pre-approve you so you can adopt as soon as they reopen. Call them to find out their adoption policy. Be sure to choose a species or breed that fits well in your family and lifestyle if you plan on adopting. For example, if you have children, you may want a friendly and affectionate animal, such as a bulldog, golden retriever, or Labrador retriever for dogs and Maine Coon, Siberian, or Manx for cats. If you want a more independent pet, choose a cat instead of a dog since you won’t have to let them outside throughout the day. If you’re under a stay-at-home order, you may have more time to take care of an animal that you wouldn’t normally have. Many foster programs during the coronavirus only last for 2–4 weeks so you only have to take care of the animal temporarily. While it may only last for a short time, you may even be able to adopt your foster animal if you connect well with it and want to keep it.  Typically, you can foster around 1–3 animals from a shelter at a time but it may vary. Many times, the shelter will provide you with supplies to take care of a foster animal, but they may be limited due to the coronavirus. Even if you don’t have the room for a larger animal like a dog or cat, you may be able to foster smaller caged animals, such as guinea pigs or rats. Many people are looking to adopt or foster animals, so you may have to wait on hold for a few minutes. Tell the shelter what sort of animal you’re looking for. The shelter may ask questions about if you’ve owned pets before or if you’ve had experience with animals to ensure you’re able to care for an animal...

TL;DR in English: Choose to adopt an animal if you want to keep it permanently. Foster a pet if you only want to take care of it short-term. Call the shelter to see what animals they have available. Fill out an application for fostering or adopting. Get basic pet supplies if the shelter doesn’t provide them for you. Schedule a time with the shelter to pick up the pet. Keep the pet 6 ft (1.8 m) away from outside people and pets.

Once you have opened the gift, immediately thank the giver. If you open and then pause, you will seem disappointed. Look your gift giver in the eye while you thank them! If you don't like the present, you probably won't make properly admiring faces while you look at it—but you can always look into the face of your gift giver and appreciate their kindness. If you are a good actor, grin or beam at the person who got you the gift. It might help to remind yourself that they were trying to make you happy! That alone is a gift. Only smile if you can do it while feeling relatively natural. Don't force a smile! It will look fake. If you are a bad actor, one way to hide your face and your disappointment while also displaying gratitude is to give the gift giver a hug. If you are on hugging terms with the person, immediately hug them after you open the present. A hug is truthful—it's a loving way for you to tell them you appreciate the love behind the gift. You don't need to feign excitement. Instead, summon up warmth for the sweetness of the gift-giver, who is trying to please you by giving you a gift. Think to yourself,"they were trying to please me by giving me this." If you can, smile. If you're a bad actor, just thank them.

TL;DR in English: React immediately. Make eye contact. Smile if you can. Hug your thanks. Act naturally.

Adjustable stems have a single bolt running perpendicular to the bike where the stem meets the frame. You can loosen this bolt, adjust the stem angle, then tighten it back to quickly move your handlebars. If you have this option, adjust the stem and test it before moving on -- it may be enough to get you comfortable. The stem is the piece running perpendicular to your handlebars that attaches your frame to the handles. On the front of the bars (as if you were looking at the bike from straight ahead) are four screws, usually clamped to a small square plate on the center of the bars. Loosen these and the handlebars will be able to rotate up and down. You should feel like you could comfortably play piano on your handlebars. You want your arms slightly bent and you should be able to quickly and comfortably reach the brakes. Your back should be at a roughly 45-degree angle from your waist. Have a friend support the bike while you climb onto the seat and check your handlebar position. Angling the handlebars is a minor adjustment. If you can't reach the brakes, have to bend over uncomfortably, or must extend your arms all the way, you will need to purchase a new handlebar stem. You may also be riding a bike that is too big for you. Have your friend hold the bike, or try a quick practice ride in a small area. Make sure you remember to tighten the bolts before beginning, however, as your weight could force the bars to angle suddenly down and cause a crash.  In many ways, handlebar angle is a matter of personal preference. As long as you are comfortable, they will work. If you've been having finger numbness when riding, consider tipping your bars up a little more. This puts less pressure on your palms that may cut off some circulation. You need them to be hand tightened enough so that the bars don't move when you ride. However, you do not want them to be so tight that you cannot remove the bolts later or the screws become stripped. If you have a torque wrench you should set the bolts to 5nm strength.

TL;DR in English: Check if your bike has an adjustable stem. Loosen the four screws at the end of the handlebar stem. Know how high you should angle your handlebars. Angle the handlebars to a comfortable height, lightly tighten them, and test. Tighten the bolts by hand once you've set the right angle.

Meditation can change how your brain functions, building new neural pathways that make you happier and calmer. Sit or lay in a comfortable pose, close your eyes, and begin bringing your attention to your breath. As you meditate, notice any thoughts that come up (good or bad), then let them go instead of dwelling on them or avoiding them.  Download a meditation app on your phone or follow along with a guided video online if you want help getting started. You can meditate on a mantra, like "be the change you wish to see in the world," if you have a specific intention you want to focus on that day. You can also try chanting “om” or listening to soothing sounds, like crashing waves or birds chirping. Meditate any time of the day for as long as you’d like. You can always start with 5 minutes, then slowly build up to 1 hour a day, for instance. A Bodhisattva is someone who is seeking enlightenment. Aim to live according to the Ten Meritorious Deeds, which are a set of commandments taught by Buddha himself that include things like helping others, learning the “right view,” and avoiding stealing or lying. The “right view” in Buddhism means seeing the world and yourself as they really are, instead of how you’ve been taught or influenced to see them by society. Write the 10 Meritorious Deeds somewhere that you see them everyday as a reminder, like in the notes app on your phone or on a piece of paper on the fridge. Part of becoming a Buddha is reducing how attached you are to material things, like money or clothes. Declutter your house by getting rid of anything you don’t need or use anymore. Pare it down to the basics, keeping only what is absolutely necessary, like the pillow you sleep on rather than the decorative throw pillows.  Be picky when selecting what to keep and what to get rid of. Do you really need all of those shoes in your closet? Apply the minimalist mindset to your buying habits, too. Only purchase what you need and avoid impulse buys. The more uncluttered your life is, the more uncluttered your mind...

Lubricate the inner walls of the new tire thoroughly. Place the new motorbike tire so its spin direction matches the direction you marked earlier on the rim. Attach one side of the tire to the rim, using the tire irons to pry it in. Pump some air into the tire using a compressed air pump, but do not inflate it fully. Seal the tire bead into the rim using the Breezer tire tool if you can't get the "pop" while inflating. Pump some ceramic dust into the tire. Use a valve stem tool to reinsert the valve stem. Inflate your new tire to the recommended pressure.

Most types of waterproof wax come in a plastic container or tin. Dip a clean rag into the waterproof wax and massage the wax into all of the exterior leather surfaces of the boot. Work the rag in a circular motion, and fully rub the wax into one section of the leather before moving on to the next. Apply waterproof wax to the boots once a year. Waterproof wax will seal the boot leather for many months. Waterproof spray comes in an aerosol can and can be sprayed directly onto the boot leather. It can be applied more quickly than wax, so opt for a spray if you don’t have much time to spend waterproofing your boots. Waterproof sprays may not need to be rubbed into the leather at all. Consult the directions on the packaging. The disadvantage of waterproof sprays is that they do not soak into the leather as well as a wax. Consequently, a spray will need to be applied several times during the course of a single winter. Whether you apply a waterproofing wax or a spray, you’ll need to give the leather time to absorb the chemicals and dry before wearing the boots. Air dry the boots until all of the wax has been absorbed and the leather is completely dry to the touch.  Place the boots in the path of a fan to speed up the drying process. The tongue should be propped open, and the fan should blow room temperature air on the boots. Never use a blow-dryer to dry the boots. The sudden application of heat can crack the leather.

TL;DR in English: Apply a waterproof wax to the boot leather. Consider a waterproof spray instead if you’re in a hurry. Let the boots dry before wearing them.

regularly. Use a fine-grit file and file each of your nails in one direction once per week. You should also file your nails anytime they break peel or chip. Shape them into an oval, which helps them stay strong. Avoid shaping your nails into points, which makes them more likely to break. Rub a heavier, oil-based moisturizer onto your nails and cuticles every day. Moisturizing regularly can keep your nails from cracking, peeling, and becoming brittle, which may cause nails to break and appear like they’re not growing. Try a rich moisturizer specifically formulated for hands, nails, and cuticles. You can also get a cuticle oil to moisturize your cuticles and the nail bed. . Resist the temptation to nibble on your fingernails, even if they are brittle. Leaving your nails alone gives them a chance to grow and can make them appear to get longer faster. Some ways to stop biting your nails include:  Clipping broken nails with nail scissors instead of biting them off. Applying a bitter-tasting nail polish to your nails. Replacing nail-biting with a good habit such as playing with a stress ball. Avoiding things that trigger you to bite your nails such as boredom or stress. Get a simple clear or even colored nail polish. Paint one layer on your nails and reapply as necessary. Putting on a layer of nail polish can provide a protective shield for your nails that strengthens them and prevents breaks.

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

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

Use your lubricated spray or Windex. As you work with the new tire, keep spraying it to keep it slippery and easier to work with. There is also a red dot on the tire that should be located next to the valve stem. Make sure you note this dot and the spin of the tire and set it up This time, the tire wall will be placed between the tire iron and the rim so the tire iron can push the tire into the rim. The bead of the tire acts as the fulcrum, with you pushing away from the center of the tire to ease the bead under the rim. Repeat on the other side once the first is in. You just want to pump until you hear a small "pop." This indicates the bead has popped in. You can also take a small hammer and hit the tire around the bead as you fill it up. This will shift the tires slightly as it fills, making it more likely that it slips into the bead. You can use this tool to press the bead in and then rotate the tire to get the bead in from all edges.  Do not keep pumping up if you can't get the bead in. Let some air back out, then re-pump and use the tool. When the tire is not fully inflated, you can usually rotate it a bit still. Make sure that red dot is balanced with the valve stem. Squirt a bit of ceramic dust (made for tires) into the tire valve. It keeps the tire balanced and equalizes some of the weight, balancing out any issues. Do this before putting the valve stem back on. Tighten it back on and make sure it doesn't move. Pump the tire up to normal and you're good to ride!

TL;DR in English:

Confrontation makes shy guys nervous. Not only will he deny that he’s interested, but he’ll probably also begin avoiding you afterwards out of embarrassment. Always use subtle techniques when interacting with a shy guy. Shy guys’ top priority is secrecy.  If a shy guy likes you, it’s extremely likely that he hasn’t told anyone and doesn’t intend to.  Asking his friends has a very serious downside: You may be given bad information about whether or not he likes you. Because he's shy and doesn't express his feelings often, you might get the idea that he's not interested when he actually is. Asking his friends also has the downside of putting the ball in his court. When he knows — or guesses — that you like him, he's going to think that you want him to ask you out. This makes him feel pressured. As frustrating as it may be, you're going to have to do a lot of the work here, helping him feel relaxed along the way. Shy guys’ behavior can be so strange that it might not make sense on its own. Instead of only analyzing his behavior when he’s around you, compare it to how he acts around others. Remember, guys are guys - they will act like guys around their friends, but when it comes to just the two of you talking, he will think before he speaks, tend to be nicer, and will find a way to make you laugh. Look for anything he does extra around you – whether it’s good or bad. Is he extra nice? Extra quiet? Extra nervous? Extra irritable? If he treats you differently than everyone else, he definitely has strong feelings of some sort for you. Does he get really quiet around you? His inability to talk might be nervousness: He's got a crush on you, and he's so afraid of saying something weird or stupid that he's told himself it's better just not to talk when you're around. . However, instead of looking for the usual flirting behavior (ex. getting near you, touching you, and other look-at-me body language), watch for signs that he’s uncomfortable around you. If he looks down, crosses his arms, avoids eye contact, or makes...

TL;DR in English: Don’t ask him outright if he likes you. Don’t ask his friends if he likes you. Compare his behavior toward you with his behavior toward others. Read his body language Try to catch him looking at you. Pay attention to the way he talks to you. See if he makes friends with your friends.

If you can’t drill the holes through the safe itself because the drill won't fit inside the safe, you should poke a pencil through the safe’s bolt holes while it’s sitting in its planned final position. Then you can move the safe out of the way to drill the marked holes.  Move the pen or pencil in a circle around the sides of the entire hole. Then make sure that the mark has been made on the floor by looking through the hole. It's important to make precise marks to ensure that the holes you drill are all in the right spots. If you have carpet on the floor where you will be placing the safe, use a knife to cut a circle out of the carpet that is large enough to accommodate the bolt and the mounting hole. You may even consider cutting away all carpet under the safe, as this can prevent you from getting the safe bolted really, really tightly to the floor. Hard floorings, such as tile or laminate, are usually fine to drill through with a masonry or wood drill bit and they will allow for the safe to be bolted down very securely. If you try to drill right through your carpet, the bit can begin to snag the carpet and unravel it instead of cutting cleanly through it. Use the largest diameter drill bit that will fit through the mounting holes on the safe if you are bolting to concrete, but remember that you also need to purchase bolts that same diameter. If you are using toggle bolts, which are best for attaching the safe to a wood floor, you will need to drill a bigger hole than the diameter of the bolt to get the toggles through the flooring. In many cases, the toggle bolt packaging will tell you how big the hole needs to be.  Use a type of drill bit that is appropriate for your specific type of flooring. For concrete floors and floors covered in tile, you will need a masonry drill bit. For wood or laminate floors you will need a wood drill bit. Ensure that your drill bit is the proper length. Most wood floors are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, so your drill bit needs to be at least that long. For concrete floors, the...

TL;DR in English: Mark the hole locations on the floor. Remove any flooring elements that are in your way. Drill your mounting holes into the floor.

In addition to improving your core strength, you should also work on  developing your flexibility to battle clumsiness. Studies show that athletes who focus only on strength training and don’t incorporate agility and flexibility exercises have a 70% chance of re-injury, as opposed to 8% for athletes who use both.  In addition to the obvious exercises such as yoga and pilates, exercises such as dance and martial arts can also enhance your flexibility.  Daily stretching is also useful for enhancing flexibility. It increases blood flow to your muscles and allows your joints to move more freely. Building core strength and increasing your flexibility are necessary components of training your body to avoid accidents, but so is enhancing your balance. There are several simple exercises you can do daily to improve your sense of balance. Shifting your weight from side to side, standing on one leg, and the  Crane pose can all help improve your balance. “Vestibular Ocular Reflex exercises” is a fancy way of talking about exercises that  improve hand-eye coordination. These exercises achieve this improvement by getting your brain, your inner ear and vestibular system (which are partly responsible for balance), your eyes, and your body to all work in sync with each other.  Try this simple exercise to start: While sitting, bend your head down until you’re facing the floor, then look toward the ceiling with your eyes. Gradually move your head to follow the direction of your eyes. Repeat 10 times. You can also try this gaze stabilization exercise: While sitting, fix your gaze on a stationary target between 3-10 feet away from you. It should be at eye level. Move your head from side to side while maintaining your focus on the target.  Repeat 3 times. Do this 3 times a day. These exercises can cause dizziness, so take it slow. If you feel nauseated or dizzy, stop and take a break.

TL;DR in English:


Unfollow them on social media. Reconnect with yourself. Begin dating again.

If you find yourself on a run when a side ache sets in for instance, decrease your pace.  Focus on establishing a breathing pattern in which you inhale for three steps and exhale for two.  Push your stomach out as you inhale and relax it as you exhale. You can relieve some side ache pains simply by putting pressure on the area with your hand.  Press just below your ribs on the side that aches using four fingers. Add pressure as you exhale to help ease the pain. Running with poor posture can put pressure on your diaphragm and lead to side aches.  Make sure to run standing upright so you can breathe easily. People who run with a curve to their back are more susceptible to side aches as they exercise. Your body may be cramping due to a lack of fluids or nutrients it needs to fuel you.  Hydrate regularly throughout your run to stave off dehydration. Drinking sports drinks like Gatorade can replenish both fluids and electrolytes. You may find that nothing you do on the move is working to curb your side ache.  If that's the case, you may need to stop for a minute to stretch.  Stretching your core in particular can help alleviate the stress on your diaphragm that may cause side aches.  One effective stretch you can do is to:  Put your arms above your head and inhale while expanding your stomach. Exhale slowly as you lower your arms and bend at the waist toward the ground. Let your arms dangle for a moment, then stand upright with your arms above your head again as you stand. While side aches can be extremely painful and make it difficult to complete your workout, there are times when stopping to stretch simply isn't an option.  If you find yourself in a situation where slowing down or stopping isn't feasible, you can push through the pain.  Although side stitches are painful, you are extremely unlikely to cause an injury by continuing your workout. Continue to exercise until you have an opportunity to slow your pace and your breathing, then allow yourself to recover.

TL;DR in English: Slow down and take some deep breaths. Press into your side with your hand. Check your posture. Replenish your body's fluids and electrolytes. Stop and stretch. Muscle through it.

Keep in mind that every aspect of your life will have an effect on your prayer (and vice versa).  Organise your daily routine around the five salah times, rather than trying to squeeze them in when you can. Consider what other acts of worship will help you develop your relationship with Allah, for example, voluntary prayers, reciting the Qur'an, dhikr (remembrance of Allah), fasting and Islamic study. Work these into your schedule around the five salah. The stronger your daily routine of worship, the easier you will find it to concentrate during salah. Eating non-halal food, earning unlawful income, and committing sins take away the joy and concentration in prayer.  Study Islam and do your best to understand the laws set by Allah in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Learn to control your worldly desires, which include love of wealth, greediness, lust and jealousy. Instead commit yourself to a life in the service of Allah. Let your employers or boss know that you need a few minutes break for prayers and a longer break on Friday noon (for Muslim brothers). Avoid night shift duty, if possible. If your employer refuses to accommodate you and no solution can be found, then it may be necessary to seek alternative employment. Set an alarm for a few minutes before Fajr prayer so that you can make wudu and, if male, join the congregation at the masjid. Your last acts in the evening should be reciting Qur'an, including Surah al-Mulk, and making dua to Allah. During prayer, your mind should be free of all unnecessary matters, such as gossip or music.  "Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction."

TL;DR in English: Don’t treat prayer as an isolated act of worship, but part of your being. Keep your lifestyle pure and clean. Begin to schedule your work according to prayers. Try to go to bed early so that you do not miss your morning prayer. Too much engagement in worldly affairs hinders the mind from being attentive when in prayer.

Some math problems will not specify values of distance, but will tell you how long an object was moving and how fast it was moving.  You can calculate displacement using these time and speed values.  In this case, the formula would be: S = 1/2(u + v)t.  U = the object's initial velocity, or how fast it started going in a certain direction.  V = the object's final velocity, or how fast it was going at its last location.  T = the time the object took to get there. For example: A car is traveling down the road for 45 seconds (time taken).  The car turned west at 20 m/s (initial velocity) and by the end of the street, it was traveling at 23 m/s (final velocity).  Calculate the displacement based on these factors. Now that you know how long the car drove for, how fast it moved in the beginning, and how fast it was moving in the end, you can find the distance from the initial location to the final location. Your formula will look like this: S = 1/2(20 + 23)45. Remember to follow the order of operations, otherwise displacement will turn out to be a completely different value.  For this formula, it's okay if you accidentally switch initial and final velocity.  Since you will be adding these numbers first, it doesn't matter where they are in the parentheses.  For other formulas, however, switching initial with final velocity will give you a different displacement value. Your formula will look like this: S = 1/2(43)45.  First divide 43 by 2, which will give you 21.5  Then multiply 21.5 by 45, which should give you 967.5 meters.  967.5 is your displacement value, or how far your car is from its original spot.

TL;DR in English: Use this formula when the problem specifies the object's velocity and time taken. Input the values for velocity and time into their respective variables. Calculate the formula once you have input the values into their correct places.

Italicize the title and put it in its own sentence. Follow the title with the name of the director after the abbreviation "Dir." Then list the film studio or distributor, and the release year, each as a separate sentence. Head the list with the abbreviation "perf." Finally, cite the medium as "Film" as a standalone sentence.  "Fake Movie. Dir. Linda Bonito. Paramount, 2002. Film." List performer names after the director’s name if you would like to do so. You might write "Fake Movie. Dir. Linda Bonito. Perf. Julia Pacman, Sharon Loinclout, Bugs Appleman. Paramount, 2002. Film." If a director or an actor is the focus of your paper, begin your citation with their name, followed by the abbreviation "dir" or "perf." You might write: "Linda Bonito, dir. "Fake Movie. Paramount, 2002. Film." To emphasize an actor, you might write "Julia Pacman, perf. Fake Movie. Dir. Linda Bonito. Paramount, 2002. Film." If the film has been released to video or DVD, end your citation with "DVD" or "VHS" instead of "Film." For instance, if the film you watched was on DVD, you would add "DVD" as its own sentence in the citation. You might write "Fake Movie. Dir. Linda Bonito. Perf. Julia Pacman, Sharon Loinclout, Bugs Appleman. Paramount, 2002. DVD." If you watched a video, write "VHS." If you streamed the film online, end with the website on which you accessed the film, the word "Web," and the date of access. Each of these pieces of information should be standalone sentences. For example, write: "Fake Movie. Dir. Linda Bonito. Perf. Julia Pacman, Sharon Loinclout, Bugs Appleman. Paramount, 2002. Fake Database of Fake Films. Web. June 2015."

TL;DR in English: List films by their title. List films by an actor or the director. End with the medium for DVD and VHS. Credit the websites of films you stream.

Seeing their latest posts will only bring up old feelings and remind you of your ex’s existence. You may need to unfollow them, or even block them, if necessary.  Even if you think that seeing them on social media is no big deal, consider how you’ll feel if they begin posting photos of them with their new date. Some people find it useful to get off of social media completely following a breakup. You may choose to do a “social media fast” for a week, a month, or more. This can help you focus on your own life and accomplishments without worrying about seeing pictures or mentions of your ex. Now that the relationship is over, you likely have more time to do things that you enjoy on your own or with friends. Get back to hobbies that you haven’t had time for recently. Call up a friend you haven’t seen in a while and do something fun together.  Exercise, time outdoors, and time spent doing something you love are great ways to reconnect with yourself. It can feel lonely at first to spend time by yourself, but it’s important to get back to feeling good being on your own. Spend time with loved ones and close friends. When we spend time with people who care about us, it helps us reconnect with who we are separate from a previous relationship. This might take a long time, depending on how long and how serious the relationship was. Make sure to wait until you’re really ready, but when you are, it’s good to take steps toward finding a new relationship that’s right for you.  Online dating apps can help you find other people who are looking for something similar. For example, if your last relationship was a long and serious one, you may just be looking for short-term, casual dating right now. Many apps can help you find others looking for that, too. If your last relationship ended because you were looking for marriage and a family and your partner wasn’t ready, online apps can help you identify other people who are also looking for something serious. Be honest with people you date about what you’re going through. You don’t...

Extracurricular activities often involve a big time commitment, so it's important to talk to your co-parent about what activities your child will participate in. Figure out if you will discuss each activity before committing to it or if one parent will be permitted to sign the child up for an activity without the approval of the other.  In addition to time considerations, you should also consider that your co-parent may not agree with the activity or may think it is too expensive. Having a plan for dealing with these kinds of situations ahead of time will make the decisions much easier. Make sure to think about transportation to and from activities, especially if they are far away. It's important to agree on this before committing your child to any activities that may take place during your co-parent's visitation time. Whether your child plays soccer or performs in the school play, you will eventually be faced with an event that you may both want to attend. Come up with an agreement regarding who will attend which events with your child.  You may decide to attend alternating events, especially if they are frequent. If you agree to both attend, decide if there will be any rules. Will you interact with each other or will you sit separately and not speak to each other? Lots of things will come up while your child is with you that your co-parent will want to know about, and vice-versa. This includes things like the schedule for soccer games, punishments you have established, or issues that your child has been having at school. It's important to have a plan for how and when you will communicate this type of information.    Decide on your preferred method of communication. If you don't like talking to your co-parent in person or on the phone, you may decide to communicate by email. If you decide to use an intermediate to communicate, outline how, and how often, this communication will occur. Also decide what information needs to be shared. You co-parent may want to know about it every time your child has a cold, or...

TL;DR in English: Decide how you will choose activities. Agree on who will attend events. Determine how you will communicate with your co-parent. Coordinate routines. Establish rules for communication with the child.

Grab your pencil or marker and free-hand a circle roughly 2-3mm larger than the inside edge of the ring. Together, the two circles will determine the ring’s thickness. Don’t worry about making this circle too perfect, as you’ll be sanding it into the proper shape later on.  For more precise dimensions, try tracing with the aid of a scribing compass. Due to the risk of breakage, it’s not recommended that you go any thinner than about 2mm. Draw a short line across each corner where it intersects with the edge of the outer circle. Then, return to your bandsaw or circular saw to trim the corners. This will leave the blank with a rough octagonal shape. Measure, mark, and saw the corners carefully to avoid cutting into the body of the ring. Hold the outer edge of the blank lightly against the Dremel tool or belt sander. Rotate the wood gradually to ensure that the band turns out as even and symmetrical as possible. Continue sanding down the blank little by little, using the circular outline as a guide. Be careful not to bear down too hard—remember, you can always sand off more if needed, but you can’t put it back on.  At this stage, you can use your saw to shave some of the excess width off of especially thick blanks to reduce them to a more practical size. If there's enough extra material, you might even have enough left over to create a pair of matching rings.  Work carefully and be patient. Shaping is the most time-consuming part of the process, and it may take a little while for you to end up with a ring you’re happy with.

TL;DR in English: Draw a ring shape around the circumference of the hole. Cut off the squared corners of the blank. Sand the ring into its finished shape.

Be observant about what food you eat and figure out whether something in your daily diet might be irritating your system and causing these symptoms. If eliminating a certain food for a few days seems to make a difference, consider cutting back on it in the long term.  Foods that lead to chronic gas, such as beans and other legumes, cabbage, broccoli, and nuts, may cause diarrhea if you're eating them in large quantities. Try eliminating caffeine from your diet. Caffeine stimulates the gastrointestinal system and leads to more frequent bowel movements.  Fats can also cause diarrhea, especially saturated fats found in fried food and snack foods. Artificial sweeteners found in soft drinks and candy cause diarrhea. Some people find red meat difficult to digest, so try cutting back on it. Alcohol can irritate the system and lead to diarrhea. Starting new medications like quinidine, colchicine, antibiotics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause acute diarrhea. Taking too many laxatives can also lead to problems. Let your doctor know if you're on a medication that seems to be causing adverse symptoms.

TL;DR in English: Ease up on foods often cause diarrhea. Determine whether a new medication might be causing it.

Monkeys are in the order of primates, which is divided into families of New World primates (smaller, tree-dwelling monkeys from South America) and families of Old World primates (larger, ground and tree-dwelling monkeys from Asia and Africa). Each type of monkey has unique characteristics that affect how they fare as pets. Before you decide which type to get, conduct a lot of research on its characteristics. Read books, talk to owners, and get to know as many monkeys as you can in person.  Squirrel monkeys, capuchins, spiders, and macaques are all types of monkeys people keep as pets. Some are more social, while others can be on the nervous side. These monkeys all have the same general care requirements, though larger monkeys will need more space than the smaller ones. Apes, such a chimpanzees, gibbons and orangutans are not monkeys and should not be kept as pets. They are much stronger than humans and can become quite dangerous in a domestic situation. Bringing a monkey into your home is almost as big a commitment as deciding to have a child. Monkeys require attention all day, every day, and unlike cats and dogs, they cannot be left at home for extended periods of time. Once your monkey bonds with you, he will want to follow you wherever you go, and if you try to leave him by himself he will become bored, depressed and aggressive. Monkeys can live for 20 to 40 years, so bringing one home is a commitment to spend a significant portion of your life providing for your monkey's needs.  Before you decide to get a pet monkey, ponder the following facts about life with a monkey:  The monkey may become aggressive. When monkeys are babies, they are dependent and sweet, like baby humans. But when they reach sexual maturity, which happens around age 3  or 4, their behavior can become unpredictable. Monkeys are wild animals, and unlike cats and dogs, they have not been socialized to live with humans over thousands of years. Even a monkey who has bonded with a human as a baby may unpredictably bite and attack his owner...

TL;DR in English:


Lay the groundwork for an early and ongoing dialogue. Ask for their impressions of drugs. Distinguish between prescription medications and illicit drugs. Stick to the facts. Use media messages to stimulate discussions.

If you and your mother don't communicate very much right now, you may need a little structure to help get things going. Try sitting down with your mom and coming up with a plan for communicating with each other. For example, you might decide that you will set aside 30 minutes to talk every evening. Let your mom know what kind of communication you want have with her. Be sure to listen to her input, too. Miscommunication often occurs because people forget that not everyone thinks in exactly the same way. This is why it's so important to let your mom know what you're thinking and feeling, even if it seems obvious to you. If you think your mom just doesn't understand you, you may just have to explain something to her.  For example, if you feel like your mom doesn't understand how you feel about your new tutor, you might want to say something like, "I don't think you understand how I am feeling about this and I want to make sure that you do. It's not that I don't care about my grades, but I would like the chance to improve my grades on my own before I start working with a tutor." Encourage your mom to share her feelings as well. Explain to her that you don't always know how she is feeling and you would like her to help you understand. Listening is a crucial component of communication that is often overlooked. The next time you talk to your mom, really listen to what she has to say to you.  Ask questions if something she says isn't clear to you. Allow her to finish what she has to say instead of interrupting Instead of jumping to conclusions about what she means, ask for clarification when you don't understand. If your conversations with your mom tend to be short and to the point, but you'd prefer to dig a little deeper, start by asking questions. This will help you learn more about your mom's opinions and beliefs.  Focus on open-ended questions to keep the conversation going. Questions that start with "how" or "why" are especially good. For example, if your mom tells you that she likes a certain book, ask her why...

TL;DR in English: Make a plan for communication. Don't assume she knows how you're feeling. Take the time to listen. Ask more questions. Share your struggles. Don't let disagreements turn into arguments.

This boxing equipment is true to its name. While it not only increases the speed of your punches, it will also help you focus on your accuracy, timing, and coordination. When you punch a speed bag it immediately bounces back at you, forcing you to punch again. This repetition strengthens your shoulders and arms while creating a fast response time.

TL;DR in English: Use a speed bag and double-end speed bag.

If the dog has injured their spine, it is especially important that you carry them on a firm, stiff surface. Evidence of a spine injury include immobility or wobbliness in the rear legs, unconsciousness, differently-sized pupils, partial or complete paralysis, or blood flowing from the dog's orifices.  There are many options for flat surfaces to use as stretchers. Aside from a board, you can use a sled, table leaf, bookshelf, ironing board, or even a window screen.  Make sure the dog lays on its side, and that its body is not twisted while moving it carefully onto the stretcher. Have someone help you carefully move them onto the stretcher, if possible. Position the head of an unconscious dog in normal alignment with the dog's body.  With the dog on its side, this means the snout should be pointed forward or a bit downward.  This is important to maintain both airflow to the lungs and blood flow to the brain. If the dog has vomited, position the head slightly downward, to allow vomit to easily vacate the dog's mouth. Be aware the a dog that has suffered a head injury is likely to vomit, even if they are unconscious. If the dog's limb is clearly broken, wrap it in something clean, such as gauze or a towel and tape it in place. The goal is reducing movement of the leg.  As you move the dog, make sure to support the entire limb, so that it cannot bend at the point where it was broken or fractured. Do not attempt to push broken bones back into place. If the dog bleeds continuously for more than five minutes, you need to take steps to control the bleeding.  First, apply pressure with a clean material, ideally a padded bandage or gauze.  This will at least slow the loss of blood.  If you have wrap and/or tape, wrap a bleeding wound with tension equal to gently pressing on the wound.

TL;DR in English: Check for evidence of a spine injury. Position an unconscious dog's head. Do not splint a clearly broken limb. Stop uncontrolled bleeding.

Look over sales figures for past years to determine which times in the year account for the higher percentage of your sales. Are they constant? Do you experience higher sales in winter or summer? Measure the increase or decrease in sales during these times. Was the change higher or lower in certain years? Then, think about why this might be the case. Use what you've learned and apply it to the current year's forecast. For example, if you sell snow boots, you might have experienced a particularly large boost in sales in a cold winter. If this year is forecasted to be a similarly cold winter, you should increase your demand forecast accordingly. This refers to situations where a change in your product or its market resulted in higher or lower sales. Create charts of your historical sales for the product and mark important dates, for example a price increase or the introduction of a competing product. This can also be broader, like a reaction to the shifting economy or changes in consumer spending. Read relevant trade journals and newspaper articles to gather this information. Having all of this data at hand can give you a better idea of what might affect your future demand. A life cycle refers to the "life" of your products, between when it was first introduced and the present day. Look at the sales of your product at various stages. Examine the nature of customers who buy the your product during these stages. For example, you will have early adopters (those who love the latest technology), mainstream buyers (people who wait for product reviews and referrals), laggards (they only buy when the product has been out for a long time), and other types of consumers. This will help you determine your product’s life cycle trends and the demand patterns for your product. The industries that use this model the most include high technology, fashion, and products facing short life cycles. What makes this approach unique is that the cause of the demand is directly linked to the product’s life cycle. Create a model that...

TL;DR in English: Examine previous years' sales for monthly or seasonal trends. Look for customer reactions. Create a life cycle model. Use a simulation model.

Your job is to open the lines of communication about drugs and keep them open, so start early. Use everyday situations, such as giving your child cough syrup to discuss your expectations regarding drug use. During such a situation, you might say, “You should never take medicine unless it is given to you by a doctor, nurse, or an adult family member. Taking medicine from someone else could be dangerous.” Figure out where you should focus your efforts by teasing out your child’s perspective about drugs. Are they already well aware of the danger of drugs? If so, you’ll know how to tailor your message.  You might say something like, “So, what do you know about drugs?” Listen actively to their response. Then, respond by providing some fundamental information and correcting any misconceptions. Clarify when it’s okay to take drugs and when it’s not. Give an age-appropriate explanation depending on what your child is able to understand.  You might tell your child that taking their antibiotics helps their body heal from strep throat. However, even if a medication is prescribed by a doctor, they should only take medications that belong to them, not someone else. Depending on your child’s age and developmental level, you might simply say “Drugs you get from the doctor are okay, but the drugs you get off the streets or from friends are dangerous.” For a very young child, you could say, "Taking drugs is bad for you, just like eating off the ground." Give your child the rundown on how drugs affect the body, the brain, and a person’s behavior. If necessary, try showing them a YouTube video or a drug-free pamphlet to provide a visual explanation.  This might sound like, “Drugs can change the way your brain works, making you want more and more of them over time— that’s an addiction. These changes can cause you to struggle in school, not want to hang out with friends, and even get you into trouble with the police. Then, if you suddenly stop taking them, your body might become very sick because it’s used to having the drug.”...

TL;DR in English:


Go to your local animal shelter. Fill out the application. Interact with the cats. Honor the waiting period. Complete the contract. Pay the adoption fee. Bring your kitten home.

In the morning, a water rinse will suffice for most skin types. Use a mild, gentle cleanser and lukewarm to wash your face every evening. Gently pat your face dry with a clean washcloth. Avoid scrubbing your face dry, which can damage your skin.  If you have problems with acne, consider washing with a product that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to manage it. If you wear makeup, remember to always remove it every night. Gently dab at the inner corners of your eyes with a dampened washcloth to remove any debris. After cleansing, moisturize your face. Use a moisturizer that contains a minimum of SPF15 sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage. Choose a moisturizer that matches your skin type – moisturizer products usually cater to oily, dry or combination skin.  After each shower, apply lotion to your body to avoid cracked skin. Pay special attention to the knees and elbows, which tend to get very dry. Tweeze any stray eyebrows that you see, especially in between your brows. If you shave your face, do it carefully. Always use shaving cream, which protects and lubricates your face. Use a sharp razor that has no debris lodged between the blades. Always shave in the same direction your facial hair grows.  For those who don’t shave their face, inspect the hair above your upper lip – do you see any dark or long fringe? If so, you can manage that by bleaching the hair or removing it entirely with a depilatory. Before you leave the house, check to make sure your nasal passages are clear. Always blow your nose when you get out of the shower. The warm water of the shower will loosen any fluid or mucus that might be trapped in your sinuses, making post-shower the ideal time to flush them out.  If you’ve recently been ill or if you have allergies, consider flushing out your sinuses with a saline solution using a neti pot.  Avoid picking your nose.

TL;DR in English: Wash your face twice per day. Apply moisturizer with sunscreen daily. Manage your facial hair. Check your nasal passages.

If you observe these symptoms, you should bring it to a doctor's attention as soon as possible. He or she will be able to give you a professional diagnosis and immediately begin the treatment process. If you’re trying to find out if someone other than yourself has cirrhosis, make sure to include that person in your evaluation, as there may be symptoms that can't be observed from the outside. The symptoms of cirrhosis include:  Fatigue, or feeling tired Easy bruising or bleeding Lower extremity edema (swelling) Yellow-tinted skin and eyes (jaundice) Fever Lack of appetite or weight loss Nausea Diarrhea Intense itching (pruritus) Increased abdominal girth Confusion Sleep disturbance The more technical terms for this condition are spider angiomata, spider nevi, or spider telangiectasias. Spider veins are an abnormal cluster of veins that sprout from a central blood vessel with a lesion. They usually appear on the trunk of the body, the face, and the upper limbs.  To verify spider veins, press a piece of glass over the suspected cluster of veins. The red dot in the center of the cluster will seem to pulsate — getting red as blood enters, then blanching as blood exits to the smaller veins. Large and multiple spider angiomas are a sign of more severe cirrhosis.  However, they are also common with pregnancy and severe malnutrition. Occasionally, they are seen in otherwise healthy individuals. Palmar erythema looks like speckled patches of reddening spots on the palm, and is caused by changed sex hormone metabolism. Palmar erythema mainly affects mainly the outer edges of your palms along your thumb and pinky, and spares the central palm. Other causes of palmar erythema include pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, hyperthyroidism, and blood problems. Liver disease in general often affects the skin, but observing the nails can provide useful additional information. Muehrcke's nails are pale horizontal bands or stripes that run across the nail bed. This is a result of inadequate production of albumin, which is solely made...

TL;DR in English: Recognize the symptoms of cirrhosis. Look for spider veins. Observe the palms for reddening. Note any changes in the nails. Inspect long bone joints for swelling. Look for curled fingers. Check for a firm mass in men's breasts. Observe symptoms of hypogonadism in men. Take note of abdominal pain and bloating. Inspect the abdomen for prominent veins. Smell the breath for a musty odor. Notice yellow eyes and skin. Test the hands for asterixis.

While layering styling products can keep frizz out when humidity strikes, your hair is unique and may not need quite as many products as someone else. Try a few and see what works best!  For example, if you have thin hair you curled with a curling iron, you may only need a little serum and a spray of hairspray. For thick, kinky, tight curls, you may find using mousse, serum, gel, and hairspray all together keeps your curls in humidity. Purchase silking serum hair products that are marketed to prevent humidity. You can also use shea butter, coconut oil, or castor oil. Squeeze or pour a dollop of product into your hands, and work the product through your hair, specifically on your ends.  All of these product options block out extra moisture because of their oily consistency. You can also use these products to touch up any spots throughout your day. Apply serum for both naturally curly hair and curls created with a curling iron. You can apply the serum when your hair is wet, partially dry, or dry. Hair gel can be your best friend if you have curly hair. Add a layer of gel to either wet or dry hair to give your hair a thorough and strong hold. Squeeze a heaping amount of gel into your hands so both hands are evenly covered. Run your hands through your hair, evenly applying the gel all over. You can also scrunch your hair for added hold.  As gel dries, it defends against moisture, so it is great to use on humid days. Gels with olive oil, flax seed, and aloe vera tend to work well with curly hair. If you are using a curling iron, you don’t need to use gel. However, you can run some gel through your hair after you curl it for a little hold. Make sure your gel is not water-based. Use an anti-frizz hairspray to hold your curls in place. This layer is essentially your hair’s “rain jacket” against the humidity. Spray an even layer over all of your hair--the top, ends, and the inside layers. It is helpful to carry a small bottle of hairspray with you, in case you need extra hold throughout the day.

TL;DR in English: Experiment with using different products based on your hair type. Apply a humidity-preventing serum to seal out any potential moisture. Saturate your hair with a curl-holding gel. Spray your hair all over with hairspray as a last layer of defense.

These will help you to retain the information and is useful to draw on in case you forget what something means. After the mid-year examinations, work on improving your grades. For example, if you get a C in physics (or biology or chemistry), work on getting at least a B; if you get a B in maths, try to work harder for getting an A and so on. Note: English is a language that you can't study. The only thing you can do to improve your skills is to read stories, books, magazines, newspapers etc. See "reading voraciously" as a strategy in Section One. Try to focus, even if you find that this is easier said than done. This is very helpful and could help you overcome any problems that arise.

TL;DR in English: Listen to the teacher's explanation throughout the whole year. Use the mid-year examinations to pinpoint your progress thus far. Keep concentrating in class, keep doing your homework and keep studying at home. Study in groups with friends.

Always adopt from a shelter. Cats end up in shelters due to abandonment, the illness/death of a past owner, and a variety of other reasons, but rarely because they're “damaged.” All they need are good, loving homes. Because animals are often euthanized to make room for new arrivals, you'll save a life when you adopt a shelter kitten. Applications often ask for your identifying info like your full name, address, and phone number. In many cases, you'll be asked for a photo ID to verify this information. You'll also have to provide information about other animals living in your home and the dates of their most recent vaccinations. Answer all questions honestly. This is to protect the kitten's safety. Wash your hands before handling each one so that you don't spread disease to them. Be open-minded and find a cat that you feel will be a good fit for you and your family. Pick them up, play with them, and pet them. Each cat is different and has different personalities. If a cat is shy or sleepy at that moment it could just be that time of day or they may not be too used to humans. Don't try to force anything. If you share your home with other people, bring them to the shelter with you. It's important that the entire household get involved in the decision. Many shelters require prospective pet parents to wait at least 24 hours before they can bring their little one home. This is to give you extra time to think about your decision to adopt and discuss it with others in your household. If you reconsider, you can back out without any penalties. During the waiting period, the shelter will put a hold on the kitten you chose to prevent someone else from adopting them. Most shelter contracts ask that you commit to spaying/neutering the kitten if that hasn't been taken care of. You'll also agree to keep them properly fed and vaccinated, not use them for experimentation or other forms of cruelty, and will return them to the shelter if you can't provide proper care. Other terms include swearing that you have no history of...
