Think carefully before starting a romance with one of your roommates. If you bring back a boyfriend to your place, refer back to the household rules on what everyone has agreed upon about having others back to stay.

It may seem strange, but the condition of your feet is one way to determine whether you have a low metabolism. Dry feet and cracked heels indicate slow metabolism because dry skin is one of the symptoms that your thyroid hormones are out of balance.   If you've eliminated other potential causes of cracking or peeling skin on your feet, such as athlete's foot or nail fungus, your slowing metabolism may be to blame. Dry skin elsewhere, as well as dry or thinning hair, also may indicate a slow metabolism. As with your feet, however, make sure you eliminate other causes for these conditions before you jump to the conclusion that your metabolism is slowing based on this single symptom. Cold feet also may be an indication of slowing metabolism. While this is related to your overall body temperature, some people may have cold hands and feet constantly, despite feeling warm elsewhere. For example, you may only be comfortable if you are wearing socks, even in warm weather. One sure way to tell if your metabolism is slowing is to think about whether you are always cold. If you have difficulty maintaining your body temperature even in a warm environment, you may have a slow metabolism.  You can rely on behavior to figure this out. For example, if you're in a room with several people, all of whom are complaining that it's warm while you're shivering in a sweater, you probably have a lower overall body temperature. Take your temperature first thing when you wake up in the morning. If it's below 98, this may indicate that your body has difficulty regulating its overall temperature, which can be a symptom of slower metabolism. Slow metabolism can cause serious sleep disruptions, including insomnia. If you have severe sleep disturbances, you probably don't have to keep track of your sleep specifically to know you have a problem.  However, if you've had sleep disturbances for awhile, you may have adjusted your habits to accommodate those disturbances so that they have less of an effect on you. Generally, you want to get...

TL;DR in English: Look at your feet. Evaluate your overall body temperature. Chronicle your sleep patterns. Talk to people who are around you often. Weigh yourself.

A toothpick, cotton swab, or similar item will make it easier to reach down into the narrow space. Some home improvement buffs even use disposable syringes for precision application. The important thing is that the glue only ends up on the grooves where the planks interlock.  Any clear or yellow wood glue will work just fine. Invest in a high-strength adhesive to spare yourself followup repairs in the future. Alternatively, you can also use caulk or wood putty to fill in gaps in laminate flooring. However, these substances may require special applicators or additional equipment. Inside the gap, you should be able to see the squared edge where the bottom of the plank is designed to fit together with the top of the next one in the row. Apply a thick coating of glue to this surface, aiming for even coverage from one end to the other. If you don’t apply enough glue, the repaired section of flooring may not hold up long under constant foot traffic.  Don’t be afraid to use more glue than you think you need—you don’t want the planks separating again after a few short days. Do your best to work neatly and efficiently, but don’t take too much time. Wood glue dries quickly, and once it does, it will be tough to get a second shot. To do this, strike the plank at an angle repeatedly with the palm of your hand. For a less forceful approach, you could also try placing both hands flat against the plank and guiding it slowly towards its neighbor using your full body weight. If you own a floor gap fixer tool, consider using it in conjunction with a touch of wood glue to ensure that the gap stays closed for good. Use a damp rag to blot at the glue squeezing up through the cracks in the newly-repaired gap, then go over the seam until no residue remains. Any adhesive left behind by mistake could dry to a rough texture underfoot or produce mild discoloration in the laminate.  If you used caulk or wood putty to fill the gap, you may need to sand down the excess material once it has had time to dry. For the smoothest finish, use...

TL;DR in English: Scoop up a glob of wood glue using a small utensil. Swab the glue onto the exposed tongue of the displaced plank. Push the separated planks together to close the gap. Wipe away the excess glue.

Although there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being transgender, you might have trouble accepting yourself or may go through periods or anxiety or depression. It might be hard to deal with these issues on your own. Additionally, you may need a therapist to help you get approval for hormone therapy or gender affirming surgery, if you want it. Work with a therapist who supports you and helps you feel heard. Ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist or look for a therapist online. Check their website to see if they list transgender issues in their services offered. Your therapy sessions may be covered by insurance, so check your benefits.

TL;DR in English: Visit a therapist for additional mental health support.

It can complicate things not just for the two of you but for the whole household. When people pair up within a group, it can be awkward for the others, as suddenly the pair turns into a team and other members of the group can feel that they are being left out or even overwhelmed. An article can't tell you whether or not it's appropriate to turn platonic household friendships into romance; that's something you need to tackle if it ever comes up. However, do think long and hard about the consequences and whether it might not just be better for the two of you to find your own digs should the relationship become long-term. It will all depend on the context of everyone you're living with and... it might just never happen anyway. Most importantly, don't let anyone over-stay their welcome; if your boyfriend becomes a fixture in the house, it's probable that the other guys will also want him to pay rent and pitch in, or that you two find your own accommodations together. Treat it the same way as everyone in the household is treated, by being respectful of everyone's comfort.

Notice squinting. Be aware of headaches. Pay attention to double vision. Look for light halos. Notice if you are experiencing a glare. Notice blurry vision. Pay attention to night blindness.

To be ready for a relationship, you must have a healthy relationship with yourself first. When you love yourself first, you understand and honor your values and needs. This makes you more stable for potential relationship.  Perform self-care regularly, taking part in activities that make you feel good and relieve stress. Examples may include reading a book, walking your dog, or participating in a hobby. Make decisions based on needs rather than wants. Choose to take advantage of opportunities and be around people that honor your values and needs. Before you enter a relationship, you want to think about what you are willing to do or how far you are willing to go. You want to think about things like this beforehand as it can be easy to get swept up when you're in the middle of hooking up and your date is pleading with you to take things further. You must feel comfortable telling your date what you want and don't want, and also not feel scared to say "stop" if it becomes necessary. Setting boundaries allows you to feel safe within your relationship knowing that you stand behind doing things at your own pace. By setting limits, you are supporting your own needs and values emotionally, mentally, and physically. In terms of relationships, two halves do not form a whole. Rather, two whole, healthy people come together to form a greater whole. Looking for someone to complete you is a recipe for a dysfunctional, codependent relationship. You are ready to be in a healthy relationship with another person when you already see yourself as a complete. As a result, you are looking for a partner who complements all that you have to offer. A surefire sign of disaster is being more concerned with finding a partner or being in love than you are in pursuing your goals and desires. Healthy relationships involve two partners who have the freedom and trust within each other to engage in hobbies and activities individually (and also together), hanging out with friends without your mate being there, and supporting one another in...

TL;DR in English: Practice self-love. Know your boundaries. Want someone to complement you, not complete you. Have your own interests. Recognize that the early flame will burn out. Think carefully before rebounding.

It might sound counter-intuitive but getting your hair trimmed will help your hair from breaking off and this will result in your hair growing faster. With time, the strands of hair will begin to split at the ends. These split ends tangle and are more likely to be pulled out when brushed. Keeping your hair trimmed will minimize split ends. Your hair can catch on the threads of a cotton pillowcase. A silk pillowcase reduces this friction, thus reducing breakage. Wrapping your head in a silk scarf could be used as an alternative to a silk pillowcase. Wrapping your hair in a towel on top of your head after a shower can also cause breakage. Instead, gently squeeze or blot excess water out of your hair. You may also consider using a microfiber towel to wrap your hair since these are gentler than regular cotton towels.

TL;DR in English: Get your hair trimmed. Use a silk pillowcase. Avoid wrapping your hair in a towel.

There are times for hugging, and times for keeping your hands to yourself. First, understand why you are hugging this person: perhaps you are greeting a dear friend; perhaps you are comforting someone who's crying; perhaps you are trying to share your feelings for a crush or a partner. No matter the context, a good hug should feel natural. Wait for a break in the conversation, or a transition, or a poignant moment. Consider these scenarios:  A break in the conversation could be any moment when time seems to pause. You can take advantage of these moments, if you've been meaning to hug someone. You don't need a reason to hug someone, but your hug should be in context. It should feel natural to initiate a hug at this time. A transition could be anything that begins or ends an interaction. You might hug your friend when you meet her, or hug her when she leaves. Hug to mark that something is beginning or ending. A poignant moment could be any experience in which you and another person (or people) have shared powerful emotions. Hug a friend after he shares a deep and emotional story; hug your sister when her boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with her. Use hugs to acknowledge that a moment was significant and bring it to a beautiful end. Create a safe and gentle space. Open your arms wide, and try to keep a warm smile on your face. Use your body language, your facial expression, and your general demeanor to invite the person into your arms. Make this person feel like he or she is the only person who matters right now. Your body language should funnel the person into your embrace. Step toward him or her to make the invitation more clear. Look your hugging partner in the eyes, and watch her face to make sure that she is open to being hugged. If the person steps forward to meet your embrace, then he or she has accepted the hug. It's time to enter hug mode.  Wait for a cue. If you aren't sure, wait until the person you want to hug extends his or her arms. This is a safe strategy – but you may also consider how much you...

TL;DR in English: Know when to hug. Be welcoming. Open your arms to signal that you want to hug. Consider announcing your hug. Be genuine. Determine your hugging style.

This is the act of tightly squeezing the eyes together in an effort to see objects better. People with vision problems often have different shaped eyeballs, cornea, or lens. This physical malformation prevents light from entering into the eye correctly and causes blurry vision. Squinting narrows the curvature of the light and increases the clarity of vision. Headaches can be caused by eye strain. Eye strains are caused by placing too much stress on the eye. Activities that cause eye strains include: driving, staring at computers/tv for long periods of time, reading etc. Double vision is seeing two images of one object. It can occur in one eye or both. Double vision can be caused by having an irregular shaped cornea, cataracts, or astigmatism. A halo is a bright circle surrounded by a source of light, usually headlights.  Halos typically occur in dark environments, for example at night or in dark rooms. A halo can be caused by nearsightedness, farsightedness, cataracts, astigmatism, or presbyopia. A glare is a source of light that enters your eye that does not improve vision. A glare typically occurs in the daytime. A glare can be caused by nearsightedness, farsightedness, cataracts, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Blurry vision is the loss of sharpness in the eye which affects the clarity of vision. Blurry vision can occur in one eye or both. It is a symptom of nearsightedness or farsightedness. Night blindness is trouble seeing at night or in dark rooms.This condition is typically made worse when someone has just been in a bright environment. Night blindness can be caused by cataracts, nearsightedness, certain medication, vitamin A deficiency, retina issues and birth defects.

Start braking at the proper time depending on your speed. Ease off the throttle. Press down on the rear brake with your right foot. Squeeze the front brakes at the same time with 2 fingers to ease into the stop. Hold the clutch to help slow down. Shift into first gear before you get to your stop. Plant your left foot when your bike stops moving.

Look closely at your scars to figure out what color they are. Select a concealer or foundation color that's opposite to your acne scar color on the color wheel. This will effectively camouflage the acne scar. You could use:  Green concealer to cover up reddish acne scars. Yellow concealer to even out blemish areas caused by scars. Pink concealer to balance out purple or dark blemish areas. Use a thin brush that is slightly feathered at the end to apply the concealer. Place a pea-sized amount of concealer on the back of your hand and rub the brush into it. Brush a light layer of concealer over the scar.  You can use your finger to apply the concealer. Just take care not to apply to much or it may actually draw attention to your scar. You'll need to apply a foundation to hide your concealer, especially if your skin tone is a little different than the makeup or you've used a green concealer that's very noticeable. Apply your usual foundation so that your skin tone evens out and the scar is no longer visible. Take care when applying the foundation directly over the scar to avoid rubbing away the concealer. Let your foundation rest for a minute so that it dries a little. Take a large powder brush and apply your powder with broad upward strokes. You can use a loose powder that you simply dab the brush into and tap. Or, you can rub the brush into a pressed powder and tap it before applying. Remember to wash off your makeup every night. This is a habit that will keep your skin healthy and prevent future acne breakouts.

TL;DR in English: Select a concealer to hide the scars. Apply the concealer to your scars. Apply a foundation. Set your makeup with powder.

You want to choose foods that have a lot of calories in a very small space so that you can maximize your weight gaining efforts. Calorie-rich foods often contain fats so make sure these are healthy fats. While dairy products and animal fats are good and can be healthy, you should not overeat because it can cause heart disease.  Eat nuts, peanuts, seeds, peanut butter, avocado, and hummus. These foods are also generally inexpensive to purchase or make from scratch at home. Add healthy oils such as olive and canola oil on top of your food. You can usually buy a large container which will be cheaper per ounce if you buy in bulk. Add it on top of your meals such as on vegetables and salads. Eggs are also usually cheap and a good option for adding calories and protein to your diet. Potatoes, oats and bananas are dense calorie heavy foods that are great to add to your diet. Potatoes and oats are foods that work well with a variety of toppings. Choose full-fat milk, yogurt and other dairy products. If you have high cholesterol then this might not be a good choice, but if you do not, this is a great way of increasing caloric intake. Dairy products will also provide protein, calcium and vitamin D. Choose foods that are high in protein but also economical such as whey protein. Whey protein is one of the most economical proteins to add to your diet. However, powdered milk also contains whey protein and it is even cheaper. Peanut butter, eggs, tuna, Greek yogurt, and tempeh are also good choices for adding protein to your diet. Oily fish and tuna are great foods for increasing caloric intake on a budget. Tuna is also quite cheap and an excellent way to add nutrients and calories on a budget. Buy meat in bulk and freeze the extras. When purchasing food at the store check the price per weight rather than the total price. Buy food from big box stores to reduce the cost total. You can also purchase a large bag of brown rice and other grains, which should last you several weeks. Greek yogurt is high in protein but can be...

The best way to start organizing a locker is to start with an empty one. If your locker is full, take out every single item from your locker and set them down on the ground. Don’t worry about organizing anything yet, just clear out everything so you can start from scratch. Now that your locker is completely empty, you may notice a layer of dust or dirt that you hadn’t noticed when your locker was full. Before you put anything back into it, take a spray bottle of all-surface cleaner and some paper towels and clean out the inside of your locker.  Remove any old stickers or magnets that you don’t want. You could also use a wet wipe to wipe down the inside of your locker. Leave your locker open to allow it to air out after you wipe it clean. Whether it’s old assignments, old notes from friends, broken pencils, or moldy snack food you forgot was in there, throw away all of the trash that you pulled out of your locker. This is the easy part. If you don’t plan to ever touch it again, then it’s trash and you can throw it away. Keep a trash bag or trash can nearby so you don’t have to make multiple trips to a trash can to throw away the trash. Look at the pile of stuff that you cleaned out of your locker. You may notice old books, supplies, or other items that you don’t need to keep in your locker anymore but you don’t want to throw away. Pack these into your backpack to take home so they don’t take up the limited space you have in your locker. Don’t forget to take home any old clothes so they can be washed! They just may be the source of any “mystery odor” that was coming from your locker. Before you put the items back into your locker, you need to group them together so it’ll be easier for you to place and organize them in your locker. Form the remaining items into piles of similar items: keep books with books, notebooks with notebooks, supplies with supplies, etc.

TL;DR in English: Remove every item from your locker. Clean the inside of your locker with a cleaner and paper towel. Throw away any garbage from the locker. Separate out the items you can take home. Make piles of similar items that you will keep in your locker.

Putting your money into a company's stock is essentially an investment in that company's wellbeing. If the company is poorly managed, or if their products/services are declining and the company is sliding towards bankruptcy, you'd do well to avoid that company. That's where doing your research comes in.  Read through the company's website and find articles about the company's performance over the last few years. Check into the company's financial statements and track their gains/losses through the last few years as well. Look into how long the current president or CEO has been in office. A recent shakeup in management could lead to policy changes, changes to the company's business model, and ultimately loss of profits. Try to find a company that has had stable growth without a lot of management changes in the last few years, but also consider whether the company will still be relevant a few years into the future. Utility stocks are generally considered a fairly sound investment. Unlike stock shares based on a specific company or industry, utilities will always be in demand at a fairly stable rate no matter what is going on with the rest of the economy.  Utilities stocks tend to be more stable than other more volatile stock options. If you're young and want to watch your stocks grow over many years, you might only invest three to five percent of your total stock options. If you're retired, you may want to invest 10% or more to see a faster return. Invest whatever works best for your portfolio. Talk to a financial advisor about the best options for you. Similar to utilities, healthcare is an industry that will always be in demand. As the population ages there will be an ever-increasing demand for medical care, and new technological innovations push the healthcare field further and further into the future.  Healthcare companies tend to have strong financial management, and typically see steady profits. Do your research before investing in a healthcare company. Check for reports of any pending mergers, risk of...

TL;DR in English: Investigate each company you're considering. Consider utilities stocks. Look into healthcare stocks.

Your average reaction time before you apply the brakes is around 0.62 seconds. When you use your brakes, it will take more time to come to a complete stop if you’re going faster. If you’re going 30 mph (48 km/h), it will take approximately 2.39 seconds to stop but the distance you travel equals about 66 ft (20 m). Always apply your brakes to maintain a safe distance between you and any vehicles in front of you.  Always stay aware of your surroundings and other traffic so you can brake when you need to. If your bike has an anti-lock braking system (ABS brakes), then your stopping time and distance may be slightly shorter. Your braking distance can also be affected by road conditions. Slippery roads, like those made from gravel or covered in rain, will increase the distance it takes to stop. The throttle is located on the right handlebar and twists toward you to accelerate. Slowly turn the throttle toward the front of the bike when you want to decelerate or come to a stop. When you disengage the throttle, your bike will start to slow down naturally since you aren’t giving the engine any gas. If you keep your throttle twisted toward you while you brake, it will cause stress on your transmission and brake pads. The rear brake lever is located in front of your right foot on your motorcycle. When you want to reduce your speed, use your toe to gently press the rear brake lever. Don’t apply too much force or your rear tire will lock up and could cause you to lose control. Avoid only using your rear brakes since it can cause your bike to skid and increase your stopping distance. The front brake control is the handle directly above the throttle on the right handlebar of your motorcycle. As you press down on the rear brake lever, use your index and middle finger to slowly squeeze the front brake controls.  Your front brake controls about 75% of your stopping power and will be the most effective when braking. Avoid squeezing the front brake with all 4 fingers since you might lock the tire and cause you to lose control....

One option for getting rid of the spider is to vacuum it up. If you have a bagless vacuum cleaner, take the spider in the vacuum’s tube, and dump it in an outside trash can. If you have a vacuum cleaner with a bag, throw the bag in an outdoor trash can. It is important that you empty the vacuum cleaner. Don’t just put it back in the closet. If the spider survived being vacuumed up, it may simply crawl out the way it came in. Another easy way to kill a spider from a distance is to spray the spider with bug spray. Many brands have created aerosol foams that can spray several feet. In most cases, spraying the spider with a bug spray will kill it, but even if it doesn’t for some reason, it will definitely slow the spider down a lot. Then you can easily squish it with something without having to worry that it is going to run at you.  Be careful with bug sprays, though. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the spray. Clean the area where you have sprayed thoroughly, especially if you have pets  or young children that could come in contact with the residue left behind. Always store the spray in a safe place that cannot be reached by children or pets. Make sure to clean up the dead spider and throw it in the trash. This is especially important if you have pets that could come along and eat the dead spider. The bug spray could make your pet very sick, or it could even kill them. Perhaps one of the most common ways to kill a spider is to smash it. You can use whatever you have handy. A shoe, a phone book, a newspaper, or anything that you can bring down quickly and easily on top of the spider. A broom with a long handle can also work to smash the spider from a reasonable distance.  Be careful, with this method of killing a spider you risk missing the spider or simply injuring it. If you smash it, make sure you smash it a few times until you are certain it is dead. Clean up the dead spider with a big wad of tissues. This may seem strange, but it turns out that this may be the most humane...

TL;DR in English: Vacuum the spider up. Use bug spray. Smash the spider. Freeze the spider. Ask someone to do it for you. Consider leaving it alone.

Millions of men who experience erectile dysfunction (ED) each year are too embarrassed to talk about it with their doctor. ED is a very common disorder, but it is not considered to be a "normal" part of aging. ED is often a signal that there is an underlying problem that needs to be treated. Before attempting to overcome ED on your own, it's very important to make an appointment with your doctor and clear up any other issues that might be affecting your ability to sustain an erection.   Talk to your doctor about your vascular health.  If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar, it's possible that one of these conditions has damaged arteries in your body and could contribute to ED. Heart disease and diabetes are two serious conditions that often start with ED as a symptom. If you have one of these disorders, getting treatment should help you overcome erectile dysfunction. Make it a priority to get outside or go to the gym to walk, run, swim, bike, or do strength training at least 4 times a week. According to a study conducted by Harvard, walking 30 minutes a day caused a 41% drop in risk for ED. Getting regular exercise aids circulation, getting your blood pumping through your entire body. When it's time to sustain an erection, better circulation is key. Larger waistlines are associated with higher rates of ED. Putting in the work to slim down can lead to huge improvements in the bedroom. Make sure you're eating a healthy diet loaded with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.   Avoid processed foods and foods made with refined sugars and flours. Replace high-calorie drinks with water or unsweetened tea. Eat healthy snacks like nuts, carrots, and apples instead of reaching for sugar-laden power bars or fast food. Smoking can make ED worse since it interferes with your circulatory system and is linked to diseases that cause ED. If you're having trouble sustaining an erection, now might be the time to give up the cigarettes for good. If quitting...

TL;DR in English: Get past your dislike of the doctor's office. Exercise regularly. Keep your weight down. Quit smoking. Avoid alcohol. Exercise your pelvic floor.

Before wearing your white shoes, you can apply a stain repellent to them to keep them clean. Shake the bottle, then spray a thin, even layer over the entire shoe. Repeat on the other shoe. Don't forget to spray the soles and laces too, if applicable.  If your shoes are made out of leather or suede, purchase a leather stain repellant. If your shoes are made of canvas or mesh, most types of stain repellents will work, such as Scotchguard. Once the stain repellent has dried completely, you can use a water repellent to further protect your shoes. Shake the can or bottle, then spray the entire shoe in a thin, even layer. Repeat on the other shoe and let the product dry thoroughly before wearing them. If the stain repellent you used is also a water repellent, you can skip this step. Once applied, the stain and water repellent will only last for a few weeks. Make sure to reapply the repellants every few weeks to ensure your shoes stay stain-free.

TL;DR in English: Choose a stain repellent formulated for your type of shoes. Apply a water repellent to protect your shoes from rain and snow. Repeat the process every few weeks.

Answer thoroughly and honestly. Your doctor needs to have as much information as possible in order to effectively treat any existing problems, and work with you to prevent future complications.  Some medical offices will have you answer questions about your medical history by filling out forms, while others may do this in person. Be prepared to discuss your sexual history. Your doctor will need to know if you are sexually active. He or she may ask about breast, abdominal, vaginal, or sexual problems, that you don’t think are normal. That includes being taken advantage of sexually, or sexual abuse.  Your doctor will also ask about your current and past use of contraceptives. Be able to tell the nurse or doctor the first date of your most recent period, and the age when you had your first period. They may also ask the age that your breasts began to develop.  They will ask if your periods are on a regular cycle, such as every 28 days, how long they usually last, and if you have any problems, like bad cramps, while you have your period.  They will ask if you have episodes of spotting, or bleeding, between your periods. They will likely ask how heavy you bleed during your periods. You can usually answer this by telling them how many pads or tampons you need to use, especially for the first 48 hours of your cycle. This may include unusual vaginal discharge, bad odor, itching in your vaginal area, unusual pain or discomfort in your abdomen or vaginal area, pain during sex, and any changes, pain, or problems with your breasts.  Your doctor has the option to order STI (sexually transmitted infection) testing for you if either you or your doctor has a concern. A urine test can be done for chlamydia and/or gonorrhoea, and a blood test for HIV, herpes, and/or syphilis. There is no harm in undergoing STI testing if you have any concern at all, as there are effective treatments available if you do have an infection, and treating it sooner rather than later can help to avoid long-term complications. For instance, treating...

TL;DR in English: Expect questions about your general medical history. Anticipate questions about your period. Provide information about any problems you are having. Tell the doctor if you think you are pregnant.

Place your golf tee in the ground with some depth. Put your golf ball on the tee.  Use about half of the tees length. Teeing too high or low will alter your drive. Stand so that your golf ball is only a few inches behind your left toe.  Placing the ball here will result in less swing range and more control.  Setting the ball back further in your stance will diminish power. Putting the ball further ahead in your stance will reduce accuracy. Stand just wider than shoulder width.  Taking a narrow stance will constrict your range of motion and grant more control. Don't take too short a stance as this will drastically alter your swing. Place your hands a bit lower down on the grip area of your club, away from the clubs end.  Gripping down further on the club will give you more control over its movement as you swing.  Low grips will trade power for accuracy. Keep your hands and wrists as straight as you can. Keep your weight distributed evenly, shifting only slightly to your right foot.  Keep your head and torso straight and centered with the ball. Bring the club back at a moderate speed. Send the club down, swinging towards your ball.  Strike the ball slightly under its center and with the mid point of your swing.  Make sure you strike the ball with the club face flat.  Swing strongly, but don't overdo it.

daily for clear skin. Start getting rid of milia by getting into a good skincare routine. Make sure to wash your face with warm water twice a day. You should use a light, gentle cleanser. Try choosing one that specifies “gentle” or “sensitive skin.”  Gently rub the cleanser into your skin for 20-30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a clean, dry towel. Teens and adults should treat milia with an exfoliating treatment. You could either go for an exfoliating moisturizer or a targeted exfoliating product.  An exfoliating moisturizer is a good idea if your milia are widespread and accompanied by dry skin. The moisturizer will reduce the build-up of dead skin cells below your skin and the exfoliating aspect will allow your skin to release the dead cells that have already accumulated. Look for a moisturizer that contains vitamin A. It should also be free of any heavy oils.  A targeted exfoliating treatment is best if you have a few milia that you want to get rid of, but otherwise have no skin problems. Choose a targeted treatment containing salicylic acid. The treatment should be applied directly to the milia once daily until they disappear. Check the label to follow specific instructions for that product. Retinol is commonly used to fight acne and signs of aging. It has exfoliating properties that keep your skin soft and clear. For best results, use a targeted Retinol lotion and apply it directly to the area of your skin affected by the milia.  Wait roughly 30 minutes after you wash your face before using the Retinol. Apply a pea-sized drop of retinol to the milia-covered area of your face every other night. Do not apply Retinol to the upper eyelid since it can cause irritation and damage if it gets into your eyes. Peels are one of the most effective ways to get rid of milia because they are basically a deep chemical exfoliant for your skin. If you can’t afford to see a dermatologist, don’t worry. There are lots of at-home chemical peels that work great and are easy to use.  Look for ingredients such as...

TL;DR in English: Clean your face Use an exfoliator to help clear your skin. Add products with Retinol to your routine for brighter looking skin. Try an at-home chemical peel. Use steam to open your pores. Make an egg mask 3 times a week.

A voice therapist will help you strengthen your vocal cords through various exercises and activities. Depending on the severity of the damage, your voice therapist may also help you recover breath control while speaking, as well as regain muscle control around the damaged vocal cord to prevent abnormal tension or to protect your airways while swallowing. Bulk injections are done by your laryngologist. It consists of injecting your damaged vocal cord with collagen, body fat or another approved substance to enlarge the cord. This enables your vocal cords to make closer contact when speaking. This procedure may improve your speech and reduce pain when swallowing and coughing. If voice therapy and/or bulk injections do not improve your situation, then your doctor may suggest surgery. Surgery may consist of structural implants (thyroplasty), the repositioning of your vocal cords, nerve replacement (reinnervations), or a tracheotomy. Discuss the options with your doctor to see which procedure fits your individual situation and needs.  Thyroplasty consists of using an implant to reposition your vocal cord. Vocal cord repositioning consists of moving your vocal cords closer together by moving tissue from the outside of your vocal box toward the inside. Reinnervation consists of replacing the damaged vocal cord with a healthy nerve from a different area of your neck. A tracheotomy consists of making an incision in your neck to create an opening to access your windpipe. A tube will be inserted in the opening to allow air to bypass the damaged vocal cords.

TL;DR in English: Set up an appointment with a voice therapist. Receive a bulk injection. Get surgery.

Eyeshadow primer is great because it helps lock your eyeshadow in place, creating a longer-lasting look. In addition, you’ll get a more intense color payoff, and the color will go on more smoothly, so it will be easier to blend. If you don’t have eyeshadow primer, use regular face primer instead. If any of the eyeshadow or mascara spilled onto your cheeks, sweep it away with a large makeup brush. Use big, fast strokes to avoid smearing it into your skin. If you do happen to accidentally smear your eyeshadow, use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to erase the mistake, and then use your blending brush to fix any lines in your makeup.

TL;DR in English: Apply a thin coat of eyeshadow primer. Clean off any excess makeup from your cheeks.

Pick one that gets at least 6 hours of full sunlight per day. Collards need lots of light to grow well. If you want to plant in containers, you can move them during the day to make sure that they get plenty of sun. Go with an area where the soil drains, without any muddy spots or pooled water. On the other hand, the soil should not drain so much that it becomes bone dry and dusty. For a simple test of your soil’s drainage:  Remove the bottom and top of a coffee can. Dig a hole that is 4 inches (10 cm) deep in your soil. Place the can in the hole. Pack soil around it so that it is secure in the ground. Fill the can with water. After an hour has passed, come back and measure how much the water has dropped down in the can. If at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water has escaped within the hour, then your soil drains well and is perfect for collards. Collard greens tolerate a range of soil pH’s, with estimates ranging from 6.0 to 7.5. You can purchase a soil pH testing kit from a garden supply store. There are two main types: digital probes and paper strips.  Follow the instructions included with your kit for exact details about testing the soil pH. You can also contact your local county or cooperative extension agency for tips on measuring your soil’s pH. Take a spade and go over the soil. Go down to a depth of about 10 inches (25 cm). Remove any sticks or rocks that you find. If you are using potting soil, then just dump it out in a container and break up any clumps. Collards can tolerate a variety of soil types, but they should all contain plenty of organic matter. If your soil has lots of clay or sand, once it is nice and loose, dump compost on top until there is a layer about 4 inches (10 cm) thick. Use your spade to mix some into the first layer of soil. If you don't have compost, you can use manure instead.

Having summer homework doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your entire vacation. Taking the first week off just means you’ll need to squeeze in a small amount of extra work every other day—probably just ten minutes or so.  A week off at the beginning of the summer will give you a welcome break between the end of the school year and the start of your summer workload. Try to do something fun to unwind during this week off. Since it’s summer, you won’t have daily access to teachers like you do during the school year. Reach out to other students in the class to develop the habit of asking others before the teacher.  Most teachers won’t respond emails during the summer, so ask your parents or another adult to see if they can help out. If you’re stuck and no one else is able to help, email your teacher as a last resort to see if they can aid you. Write down your weekly goals on index cards and pin them next to your desk or on your door. If you meet your goals, give yourself a small reward.  For example, you might write “Read chapters four and five” on your index card. When Friday comes and you’ve met your goal, you might reward yourself with a movie. Don’t skip this step. Even little rewards will help to keep you motivated throughout the summer. Choosing a specific date by when you plan to finish all of your summer homework will give you something to look forward to. Depending on how much work you have to complete over the summer, you can set this date to one or two weeks before the new school year starts.

TL;DR in English: Take the first week off. Ask for help from fellow students first. Give yourself rewards. Set an end date.

No matter where you are offering the item for sale (local shop, online auction, etc.), it is important to know the value of the item and even more importantly, to be able to present the item to an audience that will want it. You will need to determine what share of the profits you’ll receive. Percentages can very quite a bit (e.g., 35% to 50% for small ticket items, and 10% to 20% for high ticket items). The percentage is always negotiable and should reflect your time invested in the sale. You will need to determine who (the consignor, or you the consignee) will pay any fees, such as overhead, online auction fees, classified ads, or space rent. It is customary for the consignee (you) to pay such fees, so make sure the percentage is high enough to keep you in the profit range. In general, most consignment agreements are set for 30, 60, or 90-day cycles. If you are consigning for a specific auction (online or otherwise), you time limit may be even shorted. Ultimately, as the consignee, the length of your agreement is up to you, but it is crucial to set a limit. This way, if the item does not sell, you can return it. As part of your agreement, be sure to discuss how to handle unsold items. If they will be shipped back to the consignor, determine who will handle that expense. If you are the proprietor of a shop, simply price the item and place it out for display. If you will be using an online platform (like eBay), carefully photograph the item, write a thoughtful description, and post an auction (or Buy Now option). Once your item is out for sale, field inquiries (either in person, or via email) and do your best to help the item find a home. Whether payments will be made in person or through an online interface (like PayPal), as the consignee, the payments should be made directly to you. It is then your responsibility to pay the consignor their percentage.

TL;DR in English: Conduct research. Establish your cut of the profit. Determine how you will handle fees. Set a time limit for your consigning service. Sell the item. Ensure payments are made to you.

Use a pen, marker, or paint to title your notebook with your name or subject. You can write your name and your class subject, or any other relevant information. You can glue on a notecard or paper scrap before you write on your cover, if you wish. Find pictures you like, like animals, superheros, or cartoons.  Also try using pictures of your friends or family. You can take your pictures yourself, cut them out of magazines, or print them off the Internet. Apply a small amount of glue to your pictures and stick them to your cover.  You could use liquid  glue or a glue stick. You can cover as much of the notebook as you like to personalize your notebook. You can apply stickers as you go or plan out your cover before you start. Select stickers in a variety of sizes and that reflect your likes and interests.  You can also partially cover the pictures you've glued onto the notebook, for a layered effect. You can also make your own stickers and put them on your notebook. Try using 3-D stickers, too! If you still have open spaces on your cover, grab a marker and doodle to fill up space. Doodle stick people, hearts, stars, flowers, smiley faces--anything you'd like!  You can also save some open space and add drawings later. After you have created your collage, finish it off by adding a border to your notebook. You can glue fabric around the edges, using strips of material or ribbon. Or, try using washi tape to create your border.  If you're using fabric, you can apply it to your notebook by dabbing glue to the outside edges. Then, stick your fabric to your glue spots. Using a hot glue gun or fabric glue is recommended. If you are using washi tape, peel off the tape from the roll and apply it to the edge of your notebook, like you would a sticker. Apply washi tape in long pieces or in small sections.

There are physical marks that remain from cutting. The marks and injuries which cutting can leave behind may make your loved one feel self conscious, which may cause them to stay away from socializing with friends and family out of fear and embarrassment. This can further deplete theie self-esteem levels and make them more insecure, which can feed into the urge to cut themself again. Explain this to them and let them know they can stop and not have any or any additional scars. There may come a time when superficial cutting will no longer comfort them, which can cause her to need to cut deeper and deeper with passing time. This can cause serious health problems, such as infections. The open wounds from cutting that remain exposed cause infections and other serious health issues. Your loved one might end up cutting in the wrong place, which can cause serious blood loss or accidental death. Continuous episode of cutting can disrupt the functioning of vital body parts or organs. This is because the body loses blood during multiple episodes of cutting, which can deplete the hemoglobin levels in the blood, which can cause anemia. Anemia that goes untreated can cause shortness of breath, palpitations, swelling of arms and legs, chest pain, heartburn, sweating, and vomiting.  In the case of children and adolescents, severe anemia can affect motor skills and mental faculties. They may have a poor attention span and become less alert and responsive. Adults with untreated anemia may develop heart related problems and may even experience stroke and cardiac conditions. Anemia may also impair cognitive powers.

TL;DR in English: Explain the scars. Warn them about the health risks. Watch out for anemia.

If an injured person is bleeding, then provide as much basic first aid as possible without moving their head or neck. Rinse away any dirt and debris from wounds with clean (preferably distilled) water. Put pressure against any bleeding wounds with a clean (preferably sterilized) cloth or bandage. Leave any large puncture items in the wound as removing them may lead to much more bleeding.  Splinting any broken bones should only be done by trained professionals or in cases where medical help may not be available for long durations. Keep the injured person warm (with a blanket or a jacket) and hydrated to prevent or delay them going into shock.

TL;DR in English: Administer basic first aid if the person is bleeding.

Oregano can be grown from seeds or clippings, so if you already have some oregano plants, you may want to use clippings instead of buying new seeds. When using seeds, you can generally expect that roughly ¼ of the seeds won't grow, so you may want to plant several. Clippings should only be taken from established plants. You should wait until the roots of your plants are well developed and new growth begins appearing before taking clippings. Oregano is a plant that loves sunshine and soil that drains well, so you should choose a planting location that has these two features. If you live in a colder part of the world, you may want to start your plant indoors and transfer it outside when the weather warms up. Oregano grows best in moderately fertilized soil. It's unlikely that you'll need to add compost or fertilizer for it to grow well. A fully grown oregano plant will be about 2 to 2½ ft tall (61 to 76 cm) and about 2 ft wide (61 cm). For best results in your garden, you should give your oregano about 10 in (25 cm) of space between plants. If you plan on growing your oregano indoors, choose a pot that is about 1 ft (30.5 cm) in diameter. This way your plant has adequate room to grow. You can plant your oregano as early as 6 to 10 weeks before the last predicted frost of spring. However, in colder regions or during a cold snap, you may want to protect your plants with a layer of hay.  In place of hay, you can also use bed sheets, blankets, or plastic sheeting. To prevent damage to budding plants, you can use stakes to prop up your covering. Once the sun has risen and the air warmed, you should remove your covering from the plants. When using hay, you should remove it from covering the plants after the last frost.

TL;DR in English: Choose between seeds or clippings. Select your planting location. Plan extra space for multiple plants. Plant early for a head start.

As a non-licensee, you can ship anywhere within your state of residence. Don’t send firearms to other states or countries. If you need to ship your firearm out-of-state for repairs, you can only do it through an FFL holder. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) defines your state of residence as:  The state where you’re physically present and have the intention of staying indefinitely. The state where you’re registered to vote. The state(s) where you live for substantial parts of the year. You are legally allowed to ship to anyone, including other non-licensees. Have your recipient show you a copy of their firearm license or other documentation proving that they can legally own a firearm. You can also conduct a background check on your potential recipient by making sure they aren’t:  A felon A convict of domestic violence A subject of a domestic restraining order A fugitive An unlawful user of a controlled substance An undocumented worker A dishonorably discharged veteran A former U.S. citizen (who has renounced their U.S. citizenship) Someone declared mentally deficient or involuntarily committed to a mental institution. You are allowed ship to a firearm to yourself in a different state. However, only you may open and take possession of the package. If you’re relocating to a different state, you may pack your firearms and ship them with the rest of your belongings. Before doing so, check that the type of firearm you’re moving is in compliance with that state’s laws and local ordinances. Don’t ship handguns through the United States Postal Service (USPS). USPS does not accept handguns for shipment from non-licensees. If you want to ship a handgun as a non-licensee, you will have to use a commercial carrier like FedEx or UPS. As a non-licensee, you may only rifles or shotguns through USPS.

Feed your hermit crab a high-quality food that’s specifically made for hermit crabs. Find it in your local pet store or online. Check the label on the food to see how much to feed them each day.  You may want to alternate between several different foods. Hermit crabs love to have variety in their diet. Small crabs will usually need about 1 small spoonful of food per day. Avoid any food that contains copper sulfate or ethoxyquin. Hermit crabs are omnivorous scavengers that take advantage of any available food both in the wild and captivity. Always add natural food that they would eat in their natural habitat.  Try feeding grapes, bananas, blueberries, and apples. They love tropical fruits found in their natural habitat, like mangoes, papaya, and coconut. Avoid giving them citrus fruits, like lemons or oranges. All vegetables except for onions and scallions are great for crabs. They especially enjoy carrots, lettuce, and spinach. Try giving plain cereals, rice, pasta, unsalted nuts, and rolled oats as treats once per week. Many hermit crabs also really enjoy ground flaxseed. Provide small pieces of meat for your crabs on a daily basis. Hermit crabs love picking meat off of bones. Any type of meat will do: turkey, beef, duck, lobster, catfish, or grubs. Be sure the meat is unseasoned and doesn’t have any sauce, butter, salt, or oil on it. You can serve them raw or cooked. Land hermit crabs need a calcium-rich diet. Find crushed oyster shells, or cuttlebones at your local pet store. Make sure there is always some in the tank for the crabs to eat. Never use calcium sand though, as it can act like cement when wet, and can coat your crabs legs, and make it hard for them to walk.  Land hermit crabs need calcium to help their exoskeleton grow. It’s also important to help them molt. Add some treats to the crabitat a few times per month. Crabs enjoy natural peanut butter, applesauce, raisins, trail mix, and popcorn without butter or salt.  Crabs also enjoy eating grass, oak leaves, and tree bark. Rinse them off with...

TL;DR in English: Feed your crabs commercial crab food daily. Also always add variety to your crabs’ diet with fruits, vegetables, grains, and meat. Keep cuttlebone or oyster shells in the tank to provide extra calcium. Give your crab treats occasionally. Avoid sugary, spicy, salty or preservative-packed foods. Feed the crabs at night. Hand-feed your hermit crab to increase your bond.

Overfeeding can led to a snail population boom. Try underfeeding your aquarium inhabitants (only feeding enough for the fish to eat at each feeding) to see if that solves snail overpopulation. The most common, fish-safe chemical used to kill snails is copper sulfate. If this is used, you need to carefully follow the directions for use given on the bottle to make sure your fish survive the treatment. Most times this will cause a massive snail die-off which may foul your aquarium. If so you will need to spend time removing dead snails and adjusting the water to make sure it remains healthy for your fish and any live plants. Various snail traps are available on-line or through pet stores to trap snails. However, a very simple trap is to place a large piece of lettuce in the aquarium, clip the sturdy stem end to the aquarium's side, and leave it overnight. In the morning, remove the leaf and you will most likely find a large number of snails on the underside. Doing this a few nights in a row may help rid your aquarium of vast numbers of snails.  Snails can also be picked out of the aquarium as they are seen. This is most effective when there are smaller number of snails. However, since snails are mainly nocturnal it may not make a dent in the problem. When snails hatch, they are quite small and can climb up the sides of the aquarium. Use a small diameter hose like an air pump hose and start a siphon. Just go along and suck the little ones out. It may need to be done more than once to remove them all, though you can pull out 100 in a couple of minutes.  Repeat the process in a few hours. Scavenger fish are good fish to add to the tank to eat snails. For smaller tanks, try Zebra or Dwarf Chain loaches. For larger tanks, Clown Loaches or Pictus Catfish will do the job. Assassin snails will also eat their snail brethren. They don't reproduce as readily, so generally don't become a problem like other snails. Clearly there are various methods to rid your aquarium of these problem pests. Since snails can quickly...

TL;DR in English: Avoid overfeeding. Use a chemical to kill the snails. Place snail traps in the tank. Add snail predators to your tank. Try multiple solutions. Clean everything.

Make sure your introductory paragraph states the name of the text, the author, and the focus of your paper. You may also want to include the year of publication and the publication it was taken from if relevant. It is also good to include the topic of the text and the author's purpose. The last sentence of your introduction should be your thesis. Although most reaction papers don't ask specifically for your personal opinion, you should be critiquing, analyzing, and evaluating the text, rather than just sticking to the facts. Look for places where you simply report what the texts says instead of providing a critique or evaluation of what the text says. One good way to analyze and evaluate the text is to connect it to other ideas you've discussed in the class. How does this text compare to other texts, authors, themes, or time periods? If you have been asked to give a statement about your personal opinion, the conclusion may be the best place to insert it. Some teachers may allow you to state the personal opinions in the body paragraphs. Make sure to double check with the teacher first. Since reaction papers are usually short, you don't want them to be long. They can range from 500 words to 5 pages. Make sure to read your assignment carefully to make sure you follow directions. Read through for clarity. Are your sentences clear? Have you supported and fully argued your points? Is there any place where you're confusing? Proof by reading for grammar errors. Look for run ons, fragments, verb tense issues, and punctuation errors. Check for spelling. Double check your assignment guidelines. Make sure you have followed your teacher's directions. If you did, it is ready to submit.

TL;DR in English: Write your introduction. Reread your reaction paragraphs to ensure you make a stance. Explain the greater implications of the text for the class, author, audience, or yourself. Edit for clarity and length. Proof and spell check your document. Ask yourself if you responded to the assignment adequately.

Wear a bikini or a pretty one-piece that makes you feel comfortable and cute. Try a bathing suit in a bright color or pattern you wouldn’t normally wear. Slip into a wetsuit or rash guard, too, if you’re going surfing.  Try a white or neon bathing suit to bring out the tan in your skin. Or go with bright red for that classic Baywatch-inspired beach babe look!  Choose a one-piece or a tankini if you want to cover up your tummy. If you have a larger chest, a structured suit with underwire is a great choice; if you have a smaller chest, go for ruffles or embellishment on the top.

If you want to keep busy, it may be easier to do so once you get negative feelings out of your head. Get a pen and paper and jot down what you're feeling for a little bit each day. Then, once your feelings are out, you can focus your energy elsewhere.  Make a list of everything he did to disappoint you. For example, write things like, "He never held my hand in public" and "He didn't want to call me his girlfriend." Once you're done, set the list aside and try to focus your energy somewhere else. In the wake of a breakup, you may find yourself constantly thinking about what went wrong and why. It can be helpful to have new goals. This will help you stay busy and avoid thinking about him.  It is important to strike a balance between activity/distraction and rest/reflection. Thinking about it too much can result in depression, but running away from it can keep you from healing. Think about something you always wanted to do. For example, did you always want to take up running? Try developing a workout routine that will teach you to run. People often become obsessive over past lovers. Sometimes, the easiest way to beat one obsession is to replace it with another. Try to stay present instead of lingering over what happened in the past. At any given moment, keep your mind on what you're feeling and experiencing right now.  Try to enjoy the small day to day things. Even something as simple as eating a great lunch should be savored. If you find yourself thinking about your ex, stop and think something like, "That was then. I'm going to focus on what I'm doing and how I'm feeling right now." You can use grounding techniques to get off the hamster wheel of thinking about him and bring you into the present. Look around and name five things you see. Five colors. Five textures. Close your eyes and identify what you hear or smell. Self care is important, especially after someone hurt you. Do not neglect the normal rituals of eating right, exercising, and caring for yourself overall.  Keep up with personal hygiene. Even if...

TL;DR in English: Write out your feelings. Give yourself something to do. Keep your mind in the present. Take care of yourself.

Clean off and rinse thoroughly any dishes that you want to leave overnight in the sink. You want to make sure there isn’t any food residue that could attract the ants during the nighttime. Consider pouring a little bit of bleach down the drain to wipe out the smell of left over food particles. Ants only need a little crumb of food to begin calling in for backup, so be sure to clean up any bits and pieces of food that could be strewed on the floor and hidden underneath kitchen appliances. Sweep the floor to eliminate food sources for the ants. Mop your floor with a ½ bleach ½ water solution.  Again, this mopping solution can also be a solution of ½ vinegar and ½ water. The only thing that matters is the sterile cleaning agent to eliminate ant trails. You can spray the mixture of vinegar and water around pet food bowls to prevent ants from gathering there. Just like sweeping and mopping, vacuuming helps clean up any bits of food that could attract ants to come into your house. This is especially important for homes with carpeting, as food bits are harder to see against carpet. Use sturdy, durable garbage bags, and remove your trash as often as you can to reduce the possibility of ants feeding on food near and in your garbage can.  Often, a puncture hole in a garbage bag allows for juices to spill and therefore, can attract ants. Consider sprinkling baking soda at the bottom of your garbage can to freshen the can, and repel ants from the food smells.

TL;DR in English: Keep your kitchen sink clean and dry. Sweep and mop your floor frequently. Vacuum spaces that come in contact with food. Remove your trash regularly.

Make sure the string is tight. Make sure you give yourself enough string length to fully utilize this toy. Like the jingle ball toy, this toy is designed to allow your cat to feel like a hunter. The string allows you to move the toy more fluidly, in order to reproduce the shaky, rapid movement of a mouse. This will allow your cat to play with the fishing toy even when you're not around.

TL;DR in English: Poke a hole through a ball and feed a string through. Attach the end of the string to a stick. Wiggle the end of the string around the room. Fix the pole to a board for solo-play.

This should be your top priority. Look for nearby buildings and cars. If none are available, look for any structure you can huddle under to protect from the wind and snow. Stay there until the storm passes or help arrives.  Build a snow shelter if you can't find cover and are in an area unlikely to be found by rescuers, such as in the wilderness. If you're in a more populous area, a snow shelter is not advised, as it will make it much harder for rescuers to find you. If you have a cell phone with you, try calling both your city's emergency number and any loved ones who may be able to help. If cell towers are down, turn your phone off to conserve power and try again later. Periodically shout for help in case someone is nearby who can assist you. Staying hydrated will help to prevent hypothermia. If you have a water bottle with you, drink from it. However, do not eat snow, as this will drop your body temperature, and snow often contains chemicals such as car exhaustion. Find a means of melting it first, and boil it if possible to make sure it is clean. Clap your hands, wave your arms, kick your legs. This will keep your heart rate up and keep the blood circulating in your extremities. Good circulation will help to prevent frostbite.

TL;DR in English: Seek dry shelter as soon as possible. Call for help. Stay hydrated. Do minor, non-strenuous exercises.

Warm up or cool down by practicing bobbing and weaving. Concentrate on making each part of the movement crisp and deliberate. When you’re first getting the hang of it, the bob and the weave should be performed in sequence as two distinct motions. You can begin fine-tuning the movements as you develop a feel for the technique.  Performing the bob and weave technique requires a lot of head movement. Do some light stretches before you begin practicing to keep from pulling a muscle. Bobbing and weaving should be done fluidly and spontaneously. Try not to develop a pattern in your head movement, or your opponent may catch on. For your defense to be successful, it's essential that your opponent does not know where your head is going to be. One traditional approach to drilling the bob and weave makes use of a rope to approximate the center line of your opponent’s body. Simply stretch a length of rope (something as basic as a clothesline will work) from end of the room to the other at roughly chest-height. Then, work your way down the line, bobbing down and weaving underneath the rope and standing back up on the opposite side each time.  Bobbing and weaving with a rope teaches you to move your head while moving forward and backward, the way you would in the ring. Throw some quick combinations as you come up on either side of the rope. This will condition you to follow up an evasion with counter punching. If you receive regular instruction, ask your coach for some assistance refining your bob and weave defense. They’ll be able to critique your technique, demonstrate new training methods and work with you on the target mitts. One-on-one interaction with a coach will simulate using the technique against a live opponent and provide valuable experience. A good coach will also be able to show you how to modify your defensive posture to suit your particular style and body type. Add a little bobbing and weaving the next time you cool down with a shadow boxing session. Imagine that you’re sparring with an invisible opponent...

TL;DR in English:


Many people like to compare live-action roleplaying to playing "pretend." That is, you hang out with other people and pretend that you are someone else, such as a vampire or a pirate. Some live-action roleplays are action-based, where you fight opponents with boffers (weapons made from foam). Others are story-based, where you do not touch the other characters. Instead, you decide whether you win or lose a battle by rolling dice, playing rock-paper-scissors, or comparing character stats.   Story-based live-action roleplays are also called "theater-style" or "freeform." Some live-action meet regularly in a public area, while others meet seldom (ie: once a month or once a year) in a staged area, such as a campground or hotel. When you first enter the world of LARPing, you may hear certain terms that are completely new to you. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory, but some might be confusing. Different groups might have different terms for certain things, but the following are the most common:  LARP: stands for "live-action roleplay." Boffer: a foam padded weapon, commonly used in action-based LARPs. Game master: the person in charge of leading the LARP's story. He or she will be in charge of bringing in new characters, dilemmas, etc. They may also be called a "Storyteller," and are common in story-based LARPs. NPC: stands for "non-player character." They are unavailable to the other players, and are usually played by the game master. PC: stands for "player character." This is the character that you, the LARPer, plays. Crew: also called "stagehands." They help the game master setup the event. Some may also play NPCs. They will vary depending on which group you join. For example, action-based LARPs often have rules against where you can or can't hit a person with a boffer (ie: the head). Story-based LARPs, on the other hand, often have no-touching rules. Breaking these rules may result in disciplinary action, such as a temporary ban or point deduction. Many LARPs require you to be in character. You have to...

TL;DR in English: Choose live-action roleplaying if you like to act or play fight. Find a type of live-action roleplay that interests you. Understand the terminology. Review the gaming rules. Create your character, and make sure that they fit the LARP's world. Get a costume, if needed. Stay in-character whenever possible. Find a place to roleplay or a group to play with. Be well-prepared for longer roleplay sessions. Don't be afraid to interact with other people, but don't take the spotlight either.

If your tree is still young and has just been planted outdoors, it may be especially vulnerable to sunburn. Tie newspaper loosely around the trunk and large branches if you see signs of sun damage, or are living in an area with strong sun. Yellow leaves may be a sign of alkalinity, or too much base salt in the tree. Test your soil pH to confirm this. If the soil is too alkaline, apply an acidic (low pH) fertilizer and heavily wash the soil to leach out alkaline salts. Too much manure fertilizer, or manure applied during the dry season, can be a cause of alkalinity. Aphids are small green pests that feed on many types of plants. If you see them on your orange tree, wash them off with soapy water. Many other solutions are detailed in the Control Aphids article if this does not work. . Ants can be difficult to eradicate, but placing the pot in a larger container of standing water makes it impossible for them to get to it. Use pesticides sparingly and as a last resort, especially if the tree is bearing fruit. If possible, young trees should be brought indoors before the frost. However, if they are planted outside and you have no space indoors, you should wrap the trunks with cardboard, corn stalks, fleece, or other insulating material. Cover the trunk all the way up to the main branches. Healthy adult orange trees will rarely die due to frost, but they can experience leaf damage. Wait until spring to see which branches survive before pruning the dead ones off. Leaving fruit on the tree may reduce the amount the tree produces next year, although if you are only using fruit for home purposes an adult tree should produce more than you need. Some varieties, such as mandarins and Valencia oranges, alternate years of heavy production with years of light production. Fertilize less during the year leading up to light production, since the tree has lower nutrient needs.

TL;DR in English: Protect burned or withered trees by wrapping the trunk in newspaper. Test soil pH if the leaves are turning yellow. Wash off aphids with soapy water. Get rid of ants and other pests feeding on the tree Insulate trees that will be exposed to frost. Encourage fruit growth next year by picking all the ripe fruit this year.

Carefully tip the pot of the plant you’re using in the planter to loosen the soil from the inside of its original pot. Doing this when your plant’s soil is wet works best because the soil will stay together better. Remove the entire plant with its roots and soil all together. You want to try to keep the roots of your plant the way they are as much as possible to avoid damaging them. Once they’re settled into your planter, they will start to take up more space, but for now, don’t spread them out. Simply set the whole plant with roots and soil into your new planter. On the other hand, if the plant appears to be root-bound in its current container, loosen the roots gently outwards with your fingers. A root-bound plant will have visible roots that coil around the inside of the pot. Unless your plant with its original soil is wide enough to fill your tall planter to its edges, you’ll need to fill in the remaining space with topsoil. Make a nice smooth top  layer of soil at the base of the plant, and give your plant some extra soil around its base if it lost any in the transplant. Many potted plants do well when their soil is changed each year, so they get new nutrients. You can discard the old soil from your planter into other parts of your garden, and use a new bag of topsoil to replace it. When you’re replacing the soil, peek down into your bottom filler to see if it needs to be replaced.  Change your bottom filler if you used wood and it’s starting to rot, or become squishy and smelly; and change out aluminum cans if they are starting to rust. Plastic items and Styrofoam generally last a long time, but it doesn’t hurt to check on them and see if they are breaking down and could be replaced. Rocks, broken pottery, and clay pebbles will be the materials that last the longest out of your bottom fillers. As an alternative to replacing the top soil completely, you can also just mix compost, leaf mold, manure, peat moss, gypsum, or other soil amendments into the soil. This works best if you originally started with...

TL;DR in English: Remove your plant or flower from its original pot. Set the whole plant with its original soil into the center of your planter. Fill the surrounding space with topsoil. Change the topsoil and check on your filler each year. Mix in compost or soil amendments instead of replacing your topsoil.

The makeup wipes designed to remove an entire face of makeup may be too harsh on the delicate skin around your eyes. Look for a wipe made specifically for use around your eyes Sensitive baby wipes can sometimes be used to cleanse your face, but they're not designed to lift off makeup. Try to stick to wipes that are specifically for makeup removal for the best results.

TL;DR in English: Choose a facial wipe that is alcohol- and fragrance-free. Finished.

Brush your hair back from your head with a paddle brush or a comb. It should be smooth and free of any tangles or snags. For a more polished look and to prevent flyaways, try finger-combing a smoothing serum through your hair before you get started. Hair can be dry or wet, though it can be easier to braid wet hair if yours is curly or wavy.  If your hair is fine or layered, use a little styling cream or gel to keep hair from slipping out of the pleat. If you want a side braid, brush and separate your hair to the side on which you want the braid to fall.

TL;DR in English:


Hook your thumb through the loop. Wrap your wrist. Encase your hand.

Blister burns can occur anywhere on the body. The most common causes of blister burns, also known as second degree burns, are:  Touching a hot object Fires Scalding from steam or hot liquids such as cooking oils Electrical burns Chemical burns Blisters occur whenever you burn your skin. The type of burn you have will depend on the severity of the burn. First degree burns affect the topmost layer of skin and appear reddish and swollen.  First degree burns are painful but are considered minor. They do not usually produce blisters, but they may peel. First degree burns are dry, and usually take three to five days to heal. Second degree burns are the next level of severity. They are considered minor as long as they are less than three inches wide in diameter. Second degree burns affect surface layer and the next few under layers of the skin. Blisters are often common with second degree burns.  Second degree burns are painful and often form blisters and are red or pink. They may look swollen or have a pocket of clear, wet liquid. If more severe, a second degree burn can be dry with a reduced level of feeling in the area. If you apply pressure, the skin will not turn white or turn white very slowly.  Second degree burns usually heal within two to three weeks. Blistering burns larger than three inches should be seen at an ER or by your physician as soon as possible. If a second degree burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin, a major joint, or the buttocks, see your physician or go to the ER right away. Older individuals and children should be seen at the ER for any second degree burn because complications are more common in these groups. The most severe burns are third degree burns. Third degree burns are considered a major burn because the skin layers are destroyed and should be seen immediately at an ER. These burns affect the deepest part of the skin and cause whitened or blackened skin.  The burnt areas may be black or white. They also will be dry and leathery.  These burns are often painless at first because...

TL;DR in English: Identify the causes of blister burns. Determine if you have a first degree burn. Decide if you have a second degree burn. Seek medical attention for any third degree burns. Count the number of blisters.

The best way to determine if a hair stylist is a good fit for your needs is to talk to clients who’ve worked with him or her. That means asking people with haircuts that you admire for stylist recommendations. If a friend or family member always seems to have a really great cut, ask who styles their hair so you can consult the stylist.   You don’t just have to ask people who you know for stylist recommendations. If you see a stranger with a haircut that you really love, ask what salon they go to and which stylist they see. If you decide to make an appointment with the recommended stylist, make sure to drop the name of the person who referred you. It can help give the stylist an idea of what type of look you prefer. Even if a trusted friend or family member recommends a stylist, it’s a good idea to do a little more research on the stylist to ensure that they are a good fit for you. That’s because your loved one may have a different hair type than yours, and the stylist may not be as skilled at cutting your type of hair. Search Yelp, CitySearch, and other business reviews sites to see what clients have to say about the salon and the stylist.  Take an average of the reviews that the stylist or salon that you’re considering, so you can get a pretty good idea of their skill level. Salons often have Instagram accounts where they post photos of the cuts and styles that are done by their stylists -- and individual stylists may have their own accounts. Check out the photos to see if you like their work. Prior to getting your haircut, you may want to check out the salon that you’re considering to see if it you like the vibe without making any major changes to your hair. That’s why booking a blowout at the salon is a good idea. You can check out the facilities and get a feel for the stylists so you’ll know if you be comfortable coming back for a haircut.   If possible, ask for the stylist who you’re considering to do your blowout, so they can get a feel for your hair and you can ask about potential hairstyles. Keep in...

TL;DR in English: Get recommendations. Search for online reviews. Schedule a blowout.

Using the explicit formula and some basic algebra, you can find several pieces of information about an arithmetic sequence. In its original form, a(n)=a(1)+(n−1)d{\displaystyle a(n)=a(1)+(n-1)d}, the explicit formula is designed to solve for an and give you the nth term of a sequence. However, you can algebraically manipulate this formula and solve for any of the variables.  For example, suppose you have the end of a list of numbers, but you need to know what the beginning of the sequence was. You can rearrange the formula to give you a(1)=(n−1)d−a(n).{\displaystyle a(1)=(n-1)d-a(n).}  If you know the starting point of an arithmetic sequence and its ending point, but you need to know how many terms are in the list, you can rearrange the explicit formula to solve for n. This would be n=a(n)−a(1)d+1{\displaystyle n={\frac {a(n)-a(1)}{d}}+1}. If you need to review the basic rules of algebra to create this result, check out Do Algebra or Simplify Algebraic Expressions. You may know that the 50th term of an arithmetic sequence is 300, and you know that the terms have been increasing by 7 (the “common difference”), but you want to find out what the first term of the sequence was. Use the revised explicit formula that solves for a1 to find your answer. Use the equation a(1)=(n−1)d−a(n){\displaystyle a(1)=(n-1)d-a(n)}, and fill in the information that you know. Since you know that the 50th term is 300, then n=50, n-1=49 and a(n)=300. You also are given that the common difference, d, is 7. Therefore, the formula becomes a(1)=(49)(7)−300{\displaystyle a(1)=(49)(7)-300}. This works out to 343−300=43{\displaystyle 343-300=43}. The sequence that you have began at 43, and counted up by 7. Therefore, it looks like 43,50,57,64,71,78…293,300. Suppose you know all about the start and end of an arithmetic sequence, but you need to find out how long it is. Use the revised formula n=a(n)−a(1)d+1{\displaystyle n={\frac {a(n)-a(1)}{d}}+1}.  Suppose you know that a given arithmetic sequence begins at 100 and increases by 13. You are...

TL;DR in English: Rearrange the explicit formula to solve for other variables. Find the first term of a sequence. Find the length of a sequence.

Buy a shower curtain at a dollar store that you can throw away after the holiday. Use red paint to make a few handprints on it. Let some of the paint drip down the curtain and make some other smudges.  It is probably best to do this outside on the grass or in the garage. You don’t want to smear the paint around too much or it will start to look like just a blob of red. Let the curtain dry completely before you hang it up in your shower. Hang it so the painted side is facing inward. Using some washable red paint, or lipstick, scrawl a warning across your mirror. Writing “you’re next” or “Red Rum” are classic horror phrases. You can splatter some other paint onto the mirror or makes streaks around the words. An added scare tactic that uses the mirror is to hang a creepy picture on the wall that faces the mirror. Position it in such a way that when people look in the mirror they can see the picture right behind them. You can throw a cheap rug down and make “bloody” footprints that lead out the door. If you don’t mind getting the floor messy, you can make footprints on the floor as well. Be sure that whatever you use to make the footprints is washable. Another option is to make handprints that look as if someone crawled away. You can smear some paint along with the handprints as if the person was dragging their body away.

TL;DR in English: Smear a cheap shower curtain with red paint. Make the mirror a warning. Turn the floor into an escape trail.

First, hold your hand up in an open position, palm-down. Keep your hand straight with your forearm, with your fingers straight and slightly spread out. Spread your fingers and thumb apart. Then slip the wrap’s looped end over your thumb so that the wrap itself falls across the back of your hand. Be sure to begin wrapping your hand across the back of your hand rather than your palm. Beginning with the back of your hand will prevent the wrap from loosening later on. Let the wrap fall from the outside (pinky-end) of your hand. Pull the loose end under your wrist, below the ball of your thumb. Then wind it over the top of your wrist, drawing it tight enough to provide support for your wrist, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation. Repeat so that you complete a total of two to three passes under and over your wrists. For extra support, wrap your wrist three times. However, if your wrap is too short, or if you prefer keeping your wrists a little loose for specific punching styles (like uppercuts and angled hooks), only wrap it twice. Once you have finished your wrist, let the loose end hang once again from the outside of your wrist. Pull the loose end under your palm to the area between your thumb and index finger. Draw it over the top of your hand, again making sure that you pull it tight enough for support, but not tight enough to restrict blood-flow. Repeat for a total of three passes under and over your hand. At this point, focus more on wrapping your hand securely rather than your knuckles.

TL;DR in English:
