Choose a sheet of construction  paper. Cut a 1 in (2.5 cm) wide strip from the narrow side of your paper. Fold the paper in half lengthwise or hot dog style. Cut a fringe into the folded edge, stopping 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top. Roll the paper into a tube, then staple the seam. Staple the 1 in (2.5 cm) wide strip to the top of the tube for the handle. Add some tissue paper streamers to the bottom edge, if desired. Decorate the lantern with stickers or rhinestones, if desired. Finished.

Silicone gel or sheeting is one of the most effective home treatments for scars. While silicone works best on fresh scars, it can also soften and reduce the appearance of older scars. For the best results, cover your scar with silicone gel or a silicone sheet for 8-24 hours a day over the course of several months. You can buy silicone gel or silicone scar sheets at most pharmacies. You can also order these treatments online. A variety of over-the-counter creams and ointments are available on the market that may be able to help reduce the appearance of scars. Follow the ingredients on the packaging carefully and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. Look for ointments that include ingredients such as:  Retinol creams. These are particularly effective for treating acne scars.  Glycolic acid. This ingredient has also been shown to be effective for reducing acne scars, especially when combined with retinoic acid.  Protective or moisturizing ingredients, such as oxybenzone (a sunblock), petroleum jelly, or paraffin. Chemical peels can be helpful for scars that are not too thick or deep, such as acne scars or chicken pox scars. Ask your doctor or dermatologist about getting a medical peel done in their office. You can also buy over-the-counter peels that you can use at home.  Over-the-counter peels are not usually as effective as peels done by a medical professional, but they may help reduce the appearance of light scaring. Peels containing glycolic acid or salicylic-mandelic acid may be particularly effective. If you have a deep or indented scar, a soft-tissue filler may help reduce its appearance. For this treatment, your doctor or dermatologist will inject a soft substance, such as fat or hyaluronic acid, into the tissue under the scar to fill it in. Talk to your doctor about whether this treatment might be right for you. Fillers are a temporary solution since the injected substance breaks down after a while. You may need to repeat this treatment once every 6 months. Much like...

TL;DR in English: Try an over-the-counter silicone gel on fresh or older scars. Use a scar-reducing cream for small or light scars. Look into in-office or at-home chemical peels for light scarring. Ask your doctor about fillers for deep scars. Check into dermabrasion for acne scars or pox marks. Look into laser treatments for severe scars. Talk to your doctor about surgical scar revision. Ask your doctor about punch grafts for very deep scars. Check into cryosurgery for thick or raised scars. Get cortisone injections to soften hard scars.

After the quick 2-second blanching, use tongs to pull out the leaves as quickly as you can. Transfer them straight to the ice bath.  Blanching helps “lock in” the vibrant color of the basil leaves, while the ice bath stops the cooking process before it wilts the leaves. If you wish, you can skip both blanching the leaves and using an ice bath, but the basil won’t keep as well in the freezer. In this case, go straight from rinsing the fresh leaves to drying them with paper towels. After about 1-2 minutes in the ice bath, use your fingers to transfer the leaves to a strip of paper towels. Lay out the leaves in a single layer and softly blot away all surface moisture with more paper towels. Or, invest in a salad spinner that you can use to dry basil leaves—among many other things! Carefully work the stack of wax paper and basil leaves into the zip-close bag, then gently press out most of the air. Zip the bag fully closed and write “basil” and today’s date on the bag with a permanent marker. Lay the bag flat in the freezer in a spot where it won’t get crushed.  When you’re ready to use the basil, simply open the bag, pull out the number of leaves you need, squeeze out the air, and close the bag again. Especially if blanched, frozen basil leaves should be vibrant and flavorful enough to use in cooked recipes or even fresh pesto. The thawed leaves will likely be too wilted to use as a fresh ingredient or garnish, however. After about 3-6 months, the leaves will start to develop brown or black spots. Once there are as many dark spots as green areas, discard the leaves.

TL;DR in English: Move the blanched leaves immediately to an ice bath. Move the cooled leaves from the ice bath to paper towels for drying. Slide the layered leaves into a freezer bag to store for up to 6 months.

Matte fabrics will usually work better than shiny fabrics. If you have shorter legs, match the color of the leggings to the booties (such as black leggings and black booties). This will make your legs appear longer. Pair leggings with a loose-fitting blouse or tunic. If you'd something more streamlined, wear a wide belt around your waist. This will cinch the tunic/blouse in. This is great for those warm, summer days when you decide to pair booties with shorts. Wearing socks is a must; they will help soak up sweat and prevent foot odor. Put on a pair of long, bulky socks, then bunch them down. If you are wearing skinny jeans, make sure that the socks are over the jeans, not under. Try a pair of solid-colored socks with an interesting texture. Let the sock extend 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) above the cuff of the bootie. If you are wearing skinny jeans, consider tucking them into the socks. This can also be paired with ankle and boyfriend jeans. The sock will cover that gap of skin between the boot and pant cuff for an interesting pop o color and texture. Try to choose a pair of tights with an interesting texture to them. Also, if your legs are shorter, try to match the tights to your booties (such as black tights and black booties). This will make your legs look longer. You can also wear socks over the tights as well, but try to keep the colors similar. For example, pair black tights, with light brown textured socks, and brown booties.

TL;DR in English: Wear leggings tucked into booties. Wear booties with below-the-ankle socks if you don't want any sock showing. Try the bunched look with longer socks. Try a pair of above-the-ankle socks if you'd like a hint of color and texture. Wear tights underneath shorts, skirts, and shorter dresses if the weather is cooler.

The size does not matter, but it needs to be rectangular. An 18 by 24 in (46 by 61 cm) sheet would work great, though. The color is also up to you. If you want to make a traditional Chinese lantern, red would work the best. You can also use a different color for a specific holiday. For example:  Halloween: Orange or black Valentine's Day: Red or pink St. Patrick's Day: Green Use a pencil and a ruler to draw a cutting line 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from 1 of the narrow edges. Cut along this line, then set the 1 in (2.5 cm) wide strip aside for later. This strip will eventually make the handle. Bring the long edges together, then flatten the paper. Run your fingernail back and forth across the crease to make it nice and sharp. Fold the paper evenly. Make sure that the edges and corners match up. Turn your paper so that the folded edge is facing you. Draw a horizontal line across the top of the paper, 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top edge. Cut slits into the folded edge until they meet the line you drew. Do not cut past the line, however.  Draw the line with a pencil. This way, you can erase it! Make the slits all the same distance apart--about 1 inch (2.5 cm). The first and last slit should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the sides of the paper. Unfold the paper first. Roll the paper into a tube, so that the fold is on the outside. Overlap the narrow ends by 1 inch (2.5 cm), then staple them along the top and the bottom.  The folded should be sticking out, not in. If you squash the tube, the fringe should flare out like a flower. You can glue the tube together instead, but you will have to hold it with paper clips or clothespins until it dries. Take your 1 in (2.5 cm) strip from before, and staple 1 end to the top of the tube. Bring the other end of the strip to the other side of the tube, and staple it in place as well.  Make sure that both ends of the strip are stapled to the top of the tube. You can glue the strips in place. Hold them with paper clips or clothespins until the glue dries. Choose 2 to 3 colors of paper...

In order for your child to be happy later in life (and in order for you to gauge your child's happiness), it's important to teach your kid to express emotions and feelings. Some children may have trouble doing this on their own, but you can work on ways to help your child identify emotions and express them accordingly.  Try having your child make a list of current feelings. Then talk about why your child feels that way, taking time to focus on each emotion/feeling. Have your child draw his or her feelings. Drawing is a great way to express what's going on internally, especially if your child is resistant to talking about feelings or has a hard time expressing emotions. Just like adults, some kids are simply more private and withdrawn than others. It doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong or being hidden from you, but check in with your child to let her know that you're there if she needs to talk. A great way to help your child feel more stable at home is by sticking to a consistent routine with your kid. Make yourself consistently available for emotional comfort, and make sure you're always supportive of your child. This may take time to develop into a consistent routine, but it's important for your child's happiness and sense of comfort. If your child has never journaled before, help him get started. If he already keeps a regular day-to-day journal, add an inspiration journal to his writing routine.  Having an inspiration journal can help your child learn that his experiences are important and meaningful. It can also help him get back on track when he's having a bad day in the future.  An inspiration journal can be as broad or as specific as your child likes. Start out by having him write about his daily discoveries, experiences, questions, and of course, inspirations. Exploring new places and things together can be an excellent bonding experience. It can teach your child a new level of curiosity, as well as a new way of seeing and thinking about the world.  Visit a museum together, take a dance...

TL;DR in English: Teach your child to express emotions. Be consistent. Help your child start an inspiration journal. Have adventures together. Help him find what he's good at. Teach your child gratitude. Know when to seek help. Find a therapist for your child.

To edit the story effectively, you need to try to read it with a fresh perspective. You may need to take a break and put the story away for a few days so you can think about other things or other stories. Then, after a few days, pull it out again and read it to yourself with fresh eyes. You may be surprised at how different it reads to you after you have not been staring at it for several hours straight. You may also try working on another piece of writing or doing a relaxing activity to get your mind off of the short story. Once you feel you have almost forgotten about the short story entirely, pull it out again and read it. This will help you see it from a fresh perspective and edit it from a fresh point of view. You should read the short story aloud to hear how it sounds on the page. This can help you identify basic issues like misspelled words or grammatical errors. It can also allow you to listen to the story and make sure you are writing for the ear. A good story will sound as good when read out loud as it does on the page. You may read the story out loud several times to get a sense of how the voice and tone works in the piece. You may use a pen to mark down sections or moments that do not sound clear or strong when read out loud. Tighten up your language so it feels intentional and strong. Read each sentence in the short story and remove any words that seem unnecessary or excessive. Often, you can remove adverbs or more than one adjective in a sentence to make it stronger. You may also try trimming down the words in each sentence so they are clear and easy to read.  For example, you may have the following sentence in your story: "He raced through the crowded, bustling street to catch the smelly, congested number 1 bus." This sentence may be more effective if you cut out one to two adjectives. You may edit it to read: "He raced through the crowded street to catch the number 1 bus." You should also check for any sentences that are long winded or run on sentences. Often, if a sentence goes over three to...

TL;DR in English: Come to the story with fresh eyes. Read the story out loud. Trim or remove any excess words. Replace cliche phrases with unique ones. Make sure your dialogue is clear and concise. Check that you are showing, not telling.

Heart palpitations, chest pains, and severe abdominal pain are all signs of a serious allergic reaction. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, stay calm. You may be experiencing a reaction that could be anaphylaxis. Get immediate treatment to avoid life-threatening symptoms such as anaphylactic shock or a heart attack. Focus on your breathing to help calm yourself down and make sure you’re getting enough oxygen. If you think you may be having a heart attack, call emergency medical services immediately. Some discomfort, nausea, or even diarrhea after you eat something could just be a harmless effect of eating food that was maybe too spicy, greasy, or heavy. However, if you experience extreme nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that won’t go away after a few hours, you may be having a serious gastrointestinal reaction that needs to be checked out by a doctor to make sure it’s not dangerous. Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea could be a sign of a more serious systemic allergic reaction. Call your doctor if you’re still experiencing serious symptoms 3 hours after you eat. They may ask you to seek emergency treatment. A serious allergic reaction can cause a major drop in blood pressure, which can cause you to feel disoriented or extremely anxious. If you suddenly find yourself lost and confused, or your heart is beating fast and you have anxiety, you may be experiencing the onset of a serious reaction. Pay attention for any other potential symptoms that could confirm that you need immediate medical attention. Sometimes a serious reaction caused by a food allergy can take time to affect your whole system, and your blood pressure may be affected first, which could cause you to feel anxious and confused, but otherwise normal. Keep an eye out for additional symptoms.

TL;DR in English: Check for pain or tightness in your chest or abdomen. Pay attention to nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after you eat. Take note if you suddenly feel confused or anxious after eating.

Use a cream or matte powder that is one to two shades darker than your skin tone and foundation.  Use foundation to shade the areas you would like to reshape or define, such as your chin, nose, forehead and cheekbones. This will offset the contouring and accentuate different areas of your face.  Use a concealer that is one to two shades lighter than your skin. Move from the center of your hairline to the center of your forehead, down the bridge of your nose, the cheekbones under the outer corners of your eyes, and the center of your chin. Highlight under your eyes in an upside-down triangle shape. This will brighten your eyes. Using an angular motion, blend the blush from the apples of your cheeks back towards the temples. The idea is to draw a triangle that points towards your nose.  Avoid getting the color too close to your ears. Try a shade like plum, and then contour your eyelids with a bronzer. The combination of darker eyeshadow and the bronzer will add definition to your eyes. You can do this by putting a small amount of liner on the sides of the lips. This will give your face a less rounded, and more angular appearance.

Sewing the screen shut is an option if the hole is too large to use adhesive. In some cases, you will not be able to sew the screen together without stitching a piece of scrap screening over the damaged area. To prep the screen for darning, unravel a few strands from the perimeter of the screen to use as your thread. Match the two ends of the screen as evenly as you can. If you cannot line up the two ends without leaving a noticeable hole in the middle, you may need to sew a piece of scrap screening over the hole. If you have any old or broken window screens, cut out a rectangle that is approximately the size of the hole. Patch screen material can work if no scrap screening is available. the strands through the screen with a needle. Once the torn edges are lined up, use a needle to weave the thread through the screen strands. If you don't have strands of screen material available, use a strong, long lasting thread (like heavy-duty or polyester thread). Make the stitches as small and identical as possible, and continue sewing until the hole is closed. Sew the torn edges together first and then, if the hole is still noticeable, place the patch over top and sew around its perimeter.

On any snorkeling adventure you are bound to get some water in your tube at some point, sometimes either due to surf conditions or excessive splashing, or by letting your head dip too low in the water. Learning to clear your snorkel will keep this from being a cumbersome disruption to your experience. You should feel that water is entering the snorkel barrel. Make sure the end of the tube is in the air this time. This blast method of snorkel clearing will remove nearly all the water from your snorkel. By repeating the blast method you should clear any water that enters into the snorkel. Sometimes you will get water in your tube when you have no air in your lungs. If there is only a little water, inhale slowly and carefully without letting water into your mouth until you have enough air for a full blast. If there is too much, you will need to lift your head out of the water and take a breath around the mouthpiece. Once you get adept at clearing your airway, you can consider diving below the surface of the water to get a better look at something nifty. Take a deep breath and swim down. When you need a breath, surface, keeping your face underwater, and clear your flooded snorkel tube like you practiced.

TL;DR in English: Breathe cautiously. Hold your breath and place your head below the water, submerging the end of the snorkel. Surface your head without lifting it out of the water. Exhale through your mouth quickly and forcefully into the snorkel. Expel any remaining amount of water with a second forceful blast. Master airway control. Learn to dive.

Fruit juice isn't the only thing that can keep bananas from turning an unappealing brown. For example, soda water and club soda are known for their ability to keep sliced fruit fresh. Best of all, these liquids have the added benefit that they don't affect the taste of banana. Use them as you would use fruit juices, soaking the slices in the soda water before serving or storing them. Be sure to use soda water or club soda. Tonic water, a beverage that looks the same, has a strong flavor that doesn't go well with bananas. Tap water doesn't work quite as well as fruit juice or the other solutions in this article, but it's something you'll always have available and it's basically free. This, too, is used the same as the fruit juices: soak the banana slices in the water before using them how you wish. Citric acid (the same chemical that makes citrus fruits like lemons sour) is sold in a purified form as a canning additive. In this form, it is specifically used to keep fruit from discoloring as it stores. However, it's often difficult to find pure citric acid. Your best bet will usually be a health food store or a hardware store. Luckily, it is not especially expensive — less than $10 for a small bottle is common. To use citric acid, add three teaspoons to a cup of water and mix. Soak the slices in the bath as normal. Don't use undiluted citric acid, as it is far too sour. Vinegar can be used similarly to citric acid to keep fruit fresh. However, its strong sourness also makes it necessary to dilute it. As with citric acid, add a few teaspoons to a cup of water to make a bath and soak the banana pieces as normal. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is another acid that can keep fruit from turning brown. Powdered vitamin C can usually be found in most supermarkets as a cold-fighting supplement. Dissolve this in water (according to the directions on the package) to make a bath and soak the banana slices as normal. If you're in a pinch, a ground-up vitamin C tablet works as well. Since banana slices turn brown when they are...

TL;DR in English: Use soda water. Use tap water. Use diluted citric acid. Use diluted vinegar. Use dissolved vitamin C. Limit exposure to air.

Turn the burner to medium so the soup or broth bubbles gently. Gently stir the dumplings occasionally as they cook. This will prevent them from baking into a large clump. Simmer the dumplings until they're no longer doughy. Turn off the burner and serve the soup or broth with some of the rolled dumplings. To test if the dumplings are doughy, insert a toothpick into the thickest one. It should come out clean if the dumplings are finished cooking.

TL;DR in English: Simmer the uncovered dumplings for 10 minutes.

While there a lot of different ways to choose a bat, the most important criteria is comfort. You should, first and foremost, feel natural when swinging. To find the correct bat you should take your dominant hand and hold the bat parallel to the ground. It should feel slightly heavy and difficult to hold up. Choose a bat a 1/3 of an ounce lighter than this weight.  Check out this table of bat lengths by body type to get a good idea where to start shopping. This is the best thing you can do to get more power on the ball quickly. You want your arms and knees to be slightly bent and loose, not tensed. Work on swinging naturally and smoothly, avoiding jerky movements meant to hit the ball hard. Remember, good mechanics and a smooth swing are more important than trying to force as much power on your swing as you can. Despite its reputation as a little-league tool, the tee is great way to practice your swing mechanics and work on hitting the bottom 2/3 of the ball. Take 20-30 reps every day your practice, practicing not only how you hit the ball but where. Focus on hitting the lower two-thirds of the ball to get the best height and distance on the ball you can. You can tell when you hit it well by comparing distances. While even smaller players can hit the ball out of the park with good mechanics, it is easier to hit the ball farther when you are stronger. Remember, however, that swinging a bat requires your whole body, not just your arms. Areas to focus on include:   Abs and Core: A strong core helps you transfer energy from your legs through your torso, and is essential for bat speed and power. Incorporate sit-ups, crunches, planks, and medicine ball throws into every workout.  Legs: Most of your power comes through your legs, so you can often make the most dramatic gains through squats, leg presses, and box jumps.  Arms: Of course, you have to have strong arms to hit the ball hard. Practice swings and hitting off the tee should be a part of every workout, but you can also incorporate barbell rows, bench-press,...

The simple 'sit' command can be useful in many different situations. Most importantly, it is a great distraction technique for redirecting your dog's attention from an undesirable behavior, such as jumping up. When your dog jumps up on you, turn your back to them while keeping them in your peripheral vision. Ask her to sit and immediately praise her when she does so.  If your dog is too excited to notice that you are asking her to sit, ignore her excited behavior until she calms down, and then repeat the command. Again, as soon as she follows your command, give her lots of praise or a special treat to let her know this is the behavior that gets rewarded, not jumping. With this simple command, the goal is to redirect your dog's jumping behavior with a task that should be easy to perform and then rewarded well. Your dog will soon figure out which greetings get her your full attention and which don't. If your dog doesn't know the sit command yet, start teaching her the command along and then try this method. Some dogs exude such extreme excitement when greeting someone that it may be difficult and time consuming to wait for them to calm down for a redirecting sit command. If this sounds like your dog, she may be more inclined to grab a toy and shake it or hold it instead. Keep a special toy by your front door to throw for your dog or give to her when you come home. This will redirect her energy into playing with the toy as opposed to jumping on you or your guests. The key to keeping your dog calm, and therefore exhibit calm behavior, is to also participate in only calm behavior when you come home. Try not to use a high-pitched or loud voice when talking to her. This includes shouting at her when she starts jumping up. This type of vocal tone could encourage more excitement and jumping.  Instead of using physical punishment to discourage bad behavior, teach your dog what behaviors get them the most rewards from you. You will have to repeat the actions of her training multiple times before she will get it. Don't...

TL;DR in English: Redirect with a sit command. Use a special toy. Stay calm.

Weld a flat piece of 3/16-inch (0.5 cm) thick steel plate to the rear frame to mount your engine. Place the engine on the plate, and mark the holes for the mounting bolts so that the engine pulley lines up with the drive pulley on your axle. Attach the drive pulley on the axle prior to mounting the axle in the bushings. You can either use a set screw to hold it in position, or weld it directly to the axle, but it should be aligned with the pulley on your engine. Use the 0.5-inch (1.5 cm) steel rod for linkages, and the 0.75-inch (2 cm) for your axles. To make the 90-degree bends in the 0.75-inch (2 cm) rod, you may have to use a torch to heat the steel. Provide adjustable links for aligning steering, because it is very important to have the proper caster and camber: front-wheel vertical and steering tilt. Get some small racing wheels to give your kart the optimum acceleration and control. Fix them onto the axles with hubs and start working on the brakes, so the go-kart will be safe.  For the brakes, fix a disc onto the rear axle and a caliper assembly onto the chassis for the most professional system possible. Often, you can acquire these assemblies in relatively good shape from junked motorbikes. They're the appropriate size and will be easy to work with. Install a brake pedal to operate with your foot, regardless of what kind of acceleration you have. Don't leave too much to do with your hands other than steering. Depending upon your experience and the kind of engine you're working with, you may be able to put together a foot pedal, or you may just need to make it easy and throttle-up like you would a lawnmower. Even if you're going at relatively slow speeds, it's important to make sure you're not going to slip an axle on your first go-around. Double check your welds, your brakes, and the engine's mounting. Then take 'er for a spin!

TL;DR in English: Install the engine mount. Assemble your steering linkage. Install the wheels and brakes. Attach the throttle cable to the hand throttle. Double check your brakes and suspension system before test-driving.

Ticking is where you move an isolated part of your body, pause, and then repeat so it looks like it’s ticking. To tick your arms and torso, start by bending forward at your waist with your arms out in front of you so your waist and legs make a 150-degree angle. Then, lift your arms up about 2 inches (5.1 cm), and pause. Repeat 4-5 more times until your arms are over your head. Once your arms are all the way up, do the same thing with your torso, moving it up 2 inches (5.1 cm) at a time until you’re standing up straight again. Practice slowly at first. Then, as you get better, work on ticking at a faster pace. Start with your arms out straight at your sides. Then, bend your wrists so your fingers are pointing at the floor, and pause. Next, bend your arms so your elbows go down, and pause again. Now, bend your wrists the other way so your fingers are pointing up this time, straighten your arms, and pause. Finally, tick your shoulders up and down several times, and repeat. Ticking while you do the wave will make it look more robotic. You’re just breaking down each part of the move—like bending your wrists, bending your arms, and moving your shoulders up and down—and pausing for a second after each part to create the ticking effect. Since you mostly stay in the same spot while you’re doing the robot, bending down to a lower level is a great way to switch things up. Just bend both of your knees at the same time so they’re at about a 125-degree angle, and keep them bent like that when you dance. Don’t bend your knees too much or you might have a hard time balancing.  For a more dramatic effect, swing one of your arms back behind you and pretend to push an invisible pole into the back of your knee. At the same time, bend both of your knees. It will look like you’re bending your knees with the pole. When you’re ready to stand up again, straighten your legs using a slow, controlled motion. First, bend down so your legs are at a 125-degree angle. Then, hold your hand about 1 foot (0.30 m) above one of your knees, and...

TL;DR in English: Try ticking your arms and torso like they’re being controlled by cogs. Do a ticking wave to incorporate some hip-hop dancing into your routine. Bend your knees to do the robot closer to the floor. Pretend you’re controlling your legs with your hands.

In other words, you need restate why you have decided to embark on a new marketing campaign. This is the big picture of the market, your company, and your marketing plan. This helps introduced your creative team to the project and gives them context in which to consider their options. Include information like market opportunities or shifts among customer interests that you are trying to target. You should have already decided on a strategy for achieving these objectives, so outline your strategy in detail. Focus on which objectives are your top priorities, so the creative department will know what is most important. Essentially, this will outline the intended effect your advertising will have  consumers. Ensure that your objectives are clear and measurable. Your outline should provide specifics about how you will evaluate the progress of your campaign. You might do this by measuring an increase or decrease in sales, store traffic, RPFs, and so on. Specify any information you've decided on in your audience analysis. Write out as much information as possible about your target demographic. This includes personal information (gender, age, etc.) as well as lifestyle information like their buying habits and hobbies. Again, the better picture your creative team has of your target consumer, the better they'll be able to target it. The composition of the audience relies entirely on the message and the product. Once you have established the audience, try to think like a person in that group. This can be expressed in a single sentence, sometimes called a single-minded proposition, because it establishes a single idea from a specific angle. Keep in mind that this isn't simply a description of your product or service you are selling, but a description of what exactly you are promising the consumer in your advertisement.

At the end of a one-on-one outing, linger with your crush just a little longer than normal. Attempt to draw out natural pauses in your speech. Even if you’re nervous, try not to fill every moment with words. This allows a natural moment of anticipation to build. Creating more anticipation for the kiss will make it seem more exciting and out of the blue. If you want to make yourself as kissable as possible, be sure your breath is fresh and that you don’t have any body odor. It’s also helpful to apply an unflavored lip balm for soft lips.  Brush your teeth twice a day (especially your tongue) and floss regularly to keep your mouth ready for kissing. Always wear deodorant. It’s especially important if you find you get nervous and sweat a lot around your crush. This will signal that you’re hoping for a more intimate moment without being too obvious, enhancing the element of surprise. If you’re walking your crush to their door, for example, don’t trail far behind. Walk with them. If there are steps, you can even level a height difference between you by stopping a stair above or below where they do. Now that you’ve created a moment of physical closeness, it’s time to bridge any emotional distance. Say something sweet and surprising to make them feel close to you. It’s important that you believe the thing you say here, as the emotion behind your sentiment will be obvious. For example, making eye contact, you could say, “I felt really attracted to you today.” Don’t say anything after your sincere surprise comment. Simply draw out the moment. Shoot a brief glance at their lips, not longer than two seconds, and then make eye contact with them.  Try to keep your mouth gently parted, receptive to a kiss, during this look. If they look at your lips too, that is a great sign. If your crush feels the same way, they will meet your kiss. If they turn away, don’t force them to kiss. Respect them and understand that they may not share your feelings. If you’re feeling unsure about whether your crush will be receptive, lean in...

Regardless of what the situation may be (for example, their sporting event or taking on a promotion at work), make sure they know that you support them.  Be excited about opportunities that arise for them, and express that excitement. Be there in person to support when you can, like at a sporting event or at a fundraiser. Let others know about their opportunity, if they feel comfortable with that. Encourage them to take on the new opportunity by taking tasks off of their to-do list so that they can better focus. Offer to take care of some chores or errands so that they can focus their attention on their needs:   Grocery shopping Laundry or dry cleaning Cleaning your home Preparing food in advance Helping with administrative tasks, like sending emails or managing their calendar An unhealthy relationship is one in which one person holds the other back. Show they that you truly support they by encouraging they to chase their goals.  Offer to find ways to make their goals or dreams attainable, like helping them do research and learning more about their ambitions. When they feel discouraged, share uplifting words: “I know you feel like you're a long way from reaching your goal right now, but let's take a moment to look at how far you've come since you started!” There will likely be times when they feel pessimistic. Help them turn those feelings around by remaining optimistic.   If you feel pessimistic, too, and display that pessimism, then they might give up on their goals. Even if you do feel frustrated at times, find ways to continue to be supportive and to express that frustration in a healthy way. Find a friend to whom you can vent your frustrations, play sports, or take a walk. At times, the best way you can encourage them to do something is to give they space. Recognize when this is needed, and give them the space they need.   Giving too much encouragement can become or seem nagging, and no partner appreciates being nagged. Take this time to do something good for yourself: a warm bath, a good book, a...

TL;DR in English: Let them know that they have your support. Ask them what you can do to assist. Encourage they to go after their goals and dreams. Be optimistic for them. Give them space when necessary. Challenge them to be a better person.

Explain to them what is going to happen in the months to come, including how daily life will be structured for them and the rest of the family. Explain to older children that though they may be leaving their school, it doesn't mean they are leaving their education or their friends.    Ask them what they would be interested in studying. For example, if they love stargazing, get a telescope and study astronomy. Be sure to get them excited. Home education should be fun for the students -- not a punishment. That's the best motivator. If it'll help them, let them know that they're one of 1.5 million (and rising) students that are going to learn from home this year. Often children who leave the standard educational system for home education need some time to adjust. Instead of immediately jumping into "school at home," you may want to do unstructured activities and then slowly work into your routine. Determine how much "recovery time" is needed for each particular child, and work with them to create a different and more enjoyable learning experience.  If they're concerned, do research and back up your opinions with others' opinions; they shouldn't think that this is some tyrannical decision on your part. If they think they'll be behind, let them know that this means they can start taking college courses earlier -- if anything, this will speed up their education process. Encourage your child to stay in touch with friends they already have. You might encourage -- but do not force -- your child to become friends with another home-educated child as well. In many cases this will occur spontaneously if your family interacts with other homeschool families through co-op classes, field trips or homeschool sporting events.  One of the best things about homeschooling is that it doesn't take 8 hours to teach your child. In fact, at a brick-and-mortar institution, they'd spend most of their time waiting. You may be able to get done in 4 hours what their old school could get done in 7. That means more time for you and more time...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your younger children. Allow your tween or teenager plenty of time to adjust. Don't lose your child's old connections, in addition to forming new ones.

You will need 1 sheet for each floor in the house. Place the poster board on a flat work surface, such as a desk or table and then place the tracing paper over the poster board. Make sure that you have plenty of room to work and that the surface is flat and sturdy. The poster board is important since tracing paper is transparent. Identify where you want the borders of the house to be and then draw them to scale. However, make sure to consider the rooms and features that you want the house to have as you draw the outer walls. For example, you might make the exterior walls of your house 30 by 50 feet (9.1 by 15.2 m) if you want an extra-large living room. The second line you draw will be parallel to the first line all the way around. This second line indicates the thickness of your walls. The outer walls of the house should be at least 5.5 inches (14 cm) thick, but they can be thicker depending on your design and insulation plans for the house. For example, if you will be insulating the walls with hay bales, then the walls will need to be thick enough to accommodate the hay bales. After you have identified the inner and outer borders of the house, add lines inside the inner walls to indicate where rooms and hallways will be. Use 2 parallel lines for each of the walls and make the interior walls at least 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) thick. For example, you might create walls to indicate the borders of the bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, kitchen, closets, living room, and dining area. ” If there will be a stairwell going from the first floor to the second floor, draw stairs and lines to indicate the walls alongside the stairwell. Then, write the word “up” at the base of the stairwell with an arrow pointing in the direction that people will walk up the stairs.  If your stairwell will not have walls on 1 or both sides, use a dotted line to represent the border of the stairwell. Do the same thing for the stairwells on the second floor of the house, except write "down" and draw an arrow to indicate where people will walk down...

TL;DR in English: Place 24 by 36 in (61 by 91 cm) tracing paper over the poster board. Draw the outline of the outside of the house. Add a second line to indicate the width of the house's walls. Create interior walls for separate rooms and hallways. Draw any stairways on the first floor and label them with “up.

If your gift card requires activation, there’s usually a white sticker or some other indicator prominently displayed on the front that says so. These stickers typically provide a toll-free number or a website link that you need to use to activate the card.  If you don’t see this sticker or something similar on your card, it’s probably ready to use and doesn’t need activation. You can also check for specific instructions printed on the back of the card or included with the packaging. If a card needs to be activated, the ID number and activation code will be on the sticker. Gift cards that need activation may also require you to use a PIN number. Flip the card over and look for a sticker or area that looks similar to scratch-off material on lottery tickets. Pull off the sticker or use a coin to scratch off the material to obtain the PIN number.  Be careful not to scratch the covering off too roughly, or you might remove the numbers underneath.  You may need the PIN number to activate the card and check the balance. Only some gift cards have PIN numbers. If you don’t see one on your card, don’t get worried! Dial the phone number on the sticker exactly as it appears and wait for instructions. Be sure to have your gift card in front of you so you can input or communicate the information required to complete the activation process. The phone number will probably be a toll-free 800 number. After you dial the number, you’ll either hear automated instructions or get a live customer service representative on the line. Follow the instructions you're given to correctly provide the activation numbers. If you can’t figure out if you need to activate the card or not, call the customer service number located on the back of the card. Follow the prompts until you get a live agent on the line. Then, ask them what you need to do. They can clear the matter up for you quickly! Be sure to read the information carefully, since some cards list 2 phone numbers: 1 for live customer service, and 1 for automated service that allows you...

Obviously, it takes the participation of a male dog to get her pregnant. Think whether she has mated with a male dog, or whether it's possible that she escaped and found one to mate with. Castrated or neutered male dogs can mate with a female but cannot produce sperm to impregnate her. Entire (unneutered) male dogs, however, can impregnate her. If possible, contact the dog's owners to confirm. The exception is a dog who was castrated in the recent past–less than four weeks before the mating. There is a theoretical risk that he could have sperm retained in his tubes, which he ejaculates during the mating. This risk is small, but cannot be completely ruled out. This can give you vital information about whether it's possible she is pregnant. If the event happened three months ago, then she cannot be pregnant. This is because the average gestation (length of pregnancy) is 62 to 65 days (with a range from 57 to 72 days). If she had got pregnant then, by 90 days she would have given birth already. This can help your vet decide which is the best test to detect pregnancy. Pregnancy diagnosis methods depend on detecting hormonal changes, physical changes, or identifying embryos in the womb. Which test is the most likely to give a definitive answer depends on the number of days that have passed since mating. If a bitch was mated and the heat has not yet finished, it is too early to know if she is pregnant.

TL;DR in English: Recall whether it's possible she has mated with a dog. Determine whether that dog is castrated. Record the date she mated. Establish the dates your female dog was in heat.

Hold the base of the clasp in one hand and press down on the latch with the forefinger on your other hand. It's easiest to use your dominant hand for pressing down the latch. If you're used to opening lobster clasps regularly on necklaces and bracelets, you can probably do this with one hand. Press down on the latch with your forefinger and support the bottom of the clasp with your thumb.

TL;DR in English: Press down on the latch to open the clasp.

Part of what makes people so nervous about asking somebody out is the possibility of rejection, or the idea that she will somehow be upset or annoyed that you asked her. But keep in mind that being asked out is flattering, no matter what the circumstances, and that you will probably be making her day just by asking her. This will save you a lot of time and trouble, and allow you time to make other arrangements, if necessary.  If you don't know whether or not she already has a date, try asking one of her friends, or bring up the topic of homecoming with her so that you can inquire about her plans. Don't try to convince her to ditch her date if she has one. It will be unfair to the other person, and reflect poorly on you. Remember: just because you aren't going to homecoming together, doesn't mean you won't have a chance with her in the future! Think of other girls (if any) that you'd like to ask out so that you're not left hanging in the event that your first choice says no. Having backups will also help ease some of the nervousness you may be feeling. You can ask her straight up either in person, over the phone, or over the computer. If you're feeling more creative, come up with a less straight-forward romantic gesture like leaving a note or flowers on her car or in her locker.

TL;DR in English: Remember that even if a girl says no, the gesture will be appreciated. Determine whether she already has a date. Keep your options open. Decide how you'd like to ask her.

Being overweight and living a sedentary lifestyle puts you at an increased risk for prostate cancer. Start a regular exercise program, even if it's just walking for 20 minutes every other day. Add resistance training to strengthen your muscles. Interval training may be a good choice if you don't have a lot of spare time to devote to training and exercise. Not having a good balance between work and play can increase stress levels, which in turn causes your body to produce more DHT. Set aside 15 or 20 minutes each day to do something that is fun for you.  Choose a restful, calming activity, such as reading a book, coloring, or working a jigsaw puzzle. You also want to make sure you're getting enough sleep. Too little sleep can also increase your stress level, leading to increased DHT levels. Stress may cause your body to convert more testosterone to DHT. A massage not only reduces overall stress, it can also stimulate and improve circulation, which can encourage hair growth. Try a massage every other week for a couple of months and see if you notice any improvement in your overall stress level. On top of the other health risks of smoking, smokers also have higher DHT levels than non-smokers. If you have elevated DHT levels and you smoke, quitting can help normalize your body's DHT production.  Because cigarette smoking increases levels of DHT and other hormones, it may cause an increased risk of prostate cancer (although some studies have shown the opposite). Smoking does increase the likelihood of death from prostate cancer. Smoking in and of itself also causes hair loss, regardless of the effect of smoking on DHT levels.

TL;DR in English: Exercise 3 to 5 days a week. Schedule time for rest and relaxation. Get a massage to reduce stress. Quit smoking.

To determine how much elastic to insert into your pant leg, try measuring the elastic around your ankle or around the ankle of the person who will wear the pants. This will help to ensure that your elastic pant leg hem will be a good fit. Wrap the elastic around the ankle without stretching it and then cut it about an inch past the area where the two ends meet. Keep in mind that you do not want to make your elastic bands too tight or too loose. Aim for a comfortable fit. As you work the elastic through the hem, make sure that the elastic does not get twisted. This could affect the look of your finished project. If the elastic does get twisted, then try to untwist it. If you cannot get it untwisted, then you may need to start over and try again. Using a larger safety pin may make your work go faster, but you cannot always use a large safety pin. The size of your casing will determine what size safety pin you can use. If you have wide casing, then you can go with a larger safety pin. If you have a small casing, then go with a small safety pin. Make sure that the safety pin does not open while you are working it through the casing. If it does, try to fasten it again without snagging the fabric. If you cannot get it fastened again, then pull the elastic out and start over.

Blend the rolled oats to make oat flour. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Heat and grease a skillet over medium heat. Pour some pancake batter onto the skillet. Wait until bubbles form to flip the pancake. Cook the pancake for 1 to 2 more minutes. Continue making pancakes until you run out of batter. Serve the pancakes.

Your nausea may get worse if you try to do too much or if you are not getting adequate rest. Stay at home in bed as soon as you start to get nauseous. Laying down, avoiding exercise and sudden movements, and getting a bit more sleep will slow and stop your nausea and reduce your chances of vomiting. If necessary, take time off of work or school to do so. Staying in a single sick room may be easy, but the air will go stale and make you feel worse. Open a few windows to allow a breeze of fresh air, and when possible, take a few minutes to step outside. Taking a bubble bath may sound great, but adding in overly-scented perfumes will likely upset your stomach more. In general, avoid anything (perfumes or otherwise) with a very strong scent. Smell and taste are connected, so a strong smell can make you feel equally as sick as a bad taste. Keep your window open to allow fresh air in, and to keep bad smells out. The brightness, noise, and movement associated with your television, laptop, tablet, and phone can be overly stimulating and make an upset stomach worse. Instead, lay in bed with the lights dimmed and read a book or relax in a similar way. Taking time away from your electronics will ease your stomach and prevent an associated headache as well. Nothing is worse than feeling sick and being too hot or too cold as well. Stay at a comfortable temperature to make resting easy; add or remove layers of clothing and blankets, or take a short shower or bath. You can change the temperatures of the liquids you are drinking to help as well. If your stomach ache simply won’t go away and the urge to vomit is growing stronger, don’t stop it. Your body is trying to expel the cause of your illness from your body, so let it. Vomiting is certainly not an enjoyable activity, but it does an important job of helping you to heal. You’ll probably feel better afterwards anyway.

TL;DR in English: Get rest. Get some fresh air. Avoid strong smells. Take time away from your electronics. Adjust your temperature. Don’t avoid throwing up.

Avoid doing anything exhausting or overly-stimulating in the 12 hours leading up to your flight. Instead, take your time to pack, enjoy a meal at the hotel, or hang out on a balcony. If you end up rushing or running around before you leave, you’re going to come home stressed. Travelling can take a toll on you, even if you’re having fun while you’re doing it. Sleep in a little, make yourself some delicious food, and spend the next day doing something relaxing. This will give you time to recharge and get you ready to reenter the normal swing of things.Feel free to catch up on some work emails if you have hundreds of them waiting for you. Just don’t overdo it by spending more than 2-3 hours working on a day you set aside for yourself. Your trip will be more memorable if you compile an actual photo album for the trip. This will give you a way to share your experience and really commit everything you did to memory. Putting a photo album together also gives you a chance to revisit everything you did. This is a phenomenal way to take a sort of mini-vacation for a few hours as you sort through all of the great photos!

TL;DR in English: Spend the 12 hours before your flight relaxing and resting. Set aside one extra day of relaxation after you land. Create a photo album to remember your trip fondly.

MacBooks produced in 2015 and later have one USB-C port—also known as a Thunderbolt 3 port—located on the left side of the housing. If your MacBook was made from 2009 through 2015, it has a Mini DisplayPort on the left side of the housing.  The Mini Displayport has a port that is square-shaped with the bottom corners cut.  It has a label that resembles a TV screen. You'll need a USB-C to HDMI cable for MacBooks made in 2015 or later, while MacBooks which use Mini DisplayPort connections will require a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable.  You can find your required cable in stores such as Best Buy, or you can find them online in places like Amazon and eBay. When buying an adapter cable, don't worry about spending more than around $15. Higher-priced cables don't necessarily equate to higher quality. This will prevent accidental damage to your TV. Your TV should have at least on HDMI port.  An HDMI port resembles a 3/4 inch pentagonal slot.  They're usually on the back or the side of the TV.  Match the shape of the cable connector with the HDMI port and insert the cable into the port. For a MacBook made in 2015 or later, you'll plug the USB-C end of the cable into the oval port on the left side of your MacBook.  For 2009 through 2015 MacBook models, the Mini DisplayPort end of the cable will plug into the port that has a label that resembles a TV screen. If you are using a USB-C adapter to connect to a TV, make sure your MacBook is charged before you begin. Press the power button on your TV or remote to power your TV on.

Pour 1 cup (100 grams) of oats into a blender or food processor. Blend the oats until they form a fine mixture, like flour. Add in the ricotta, yogurt, egg whites, baking soda, and honey. At the very end, add in the lemon zest and the lemon juice. Mix everything together until well-combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the walls of the blender/food processor occasionally to ensure that everything mixes evenly. ⅓ cup (81 grams) egg whites equals about 2 large eggs. Heat the skillet over medium heat until it's hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle. Next, grease it's surface with cooking spray, oil, or butter. If you used oil or butter, be sure to wipe most of it off with a paper towel. This will keep your pancakes from turning greasy and splotchy. Plan on using about ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of batter. These types of pancakes are meant to be thin, but you can make them thicker if you want to. Use a soup ladle to make the pouring easier. Once the edges of the pancake turn dry and the bubbles pop, use a spatula to loosen the edges. Carefully slide the spatula under the pancake, then flip it over. These pancakes are delicate compared to other types. Don't worry if your first few don't turn out perfect. It's ready when it's a golden color on both slides. Use a spatula to slide the pancake off of the pan and onto a plate. You have enough batter to make around 15 pancakes. How much you actually end up making also depends on the size and thickness of the pancakes. Re-grease the pan after every couple of pancakes. Remember to wipe any excess oil or butter off. They taste delicious with syrup, Greek yogurt, and fresh blueberries. You can also use lemon curd instead.

TL;DR in English:


As you get close to graduation, your program will submit your name to Pearson Vue – the testing company that administers the CDR. Check with your advisor to make sure that your name has been submitted. If you’ve attended a CP, your internship will be part of your education. If you attended a DPD, you’ll have to complete your internship on your own. Once the internship is complete, Pearson Vue will email you with instructions for registering for the exam. Once you’ve registered for the exam, you’ll need to pay for it. It’s $200 to register for and take the exam. You’ll have to pay online with a credit or debit card. Once you’ve paid the registration fee, you’ll get an email from Pearson Vue about scheduling the date and time of the exam. When you go for your exam, you’ll need to bring a copy of your eligibility email – which should have come from your program after you finished your internship. You also need to bring a drivers’ license or state photo ID. You need a score of 25 or higher to pass the exam. Because the number of questions you have to answer varies from exam to exam, how many you have to answer correctly to pass will vary. If you fail, you can retake the exam after 45 days.  You'll have to pay the same amount for the retake as you did for the original exam. There is no limit to how many times you can retake the exam, as long as you wait 45 days between each attempt. After you pass the CDR, you’ll get information from Pearson Vue on how to maintain your RD credential. You’ll have to pay a maintenance fee and take part in continuing education opportunities every 5 years.

TL;DR in English: Make sure your school submits your name for eligibility. Check your email after you complete your internship. Pay for the exam. Schedule your exam within a year of becoming eligible. Bring the correct documentation. Retake the exam if necessary. Maintain your credential.

Make sure that you have enough fabric to wrap around the holder, plus an additional inch for overlapping. You can use solid-colored or patterned fabric. Cotton will work the best. Mod Podge). Use a foam brush to apply the glue to the holder. To make things easier and less messy, it would be a good idea to apply it to just the front. Press the fabric onto the front of the holder and smooth out any wrinkles. Apply more decoupage glue to the sides and back, and wrap the fabric tightly. Overlap the edge of the fabric at the back by ½ inch (1.27 centimeters). Make sure that the fabric is centered. You will have a lot of excess fabric at the front. Don't worry about this; you will trim it away. Set the holder upside down over something long and skinny, such as a bottle or candlestick as it dries. Even an empty paper towel holder will do. Once it has dried, trim off the excess fabric around the top and bottom of the holder. Next, set the charger down, with the back against a cutting mat, and cut out the charger hole.  You can use scissors or a craft blade to cut off the excess fabric at the top and bottom of the holder. Use a craft knife to cut out the charger hole. Brush on more decoupage glue using the same method as before. This time, make sure that you extend it past the edges of the holder, including the top, bottom, and charger hole. This is your final coat, so be sure to use a finish that you like: matte, satin, or glossy. Trace the bottom of the holder onto the wrong side of your fabric with a pen. Cut the fabric out, then secure it to the base of the holder with decoupage glue. Let the holder dry upside down (just like before), then seal it with a final coat of decoupage glue.

TL;DR in English: Choose a colorful fabric to match your decor. Coat the outside of the holder with decoupage glue (ie: Wrap the cotton fabric tightly around the holder, overlapping it at the back. Allow the fabric to dry. Cut off the excess fabric and charger hole. Apply another coat of decoupage glue, making sure to coat the edges, and let it dry again. Cover the bottom of the holder, if desired.

Many indoor and outdoor air conditioning units will have a drain or drain line in the bottom corner of the drain pan at the bottom of the unit. It will look like a hole in the pan, and on some models, there will be a nozzle with a rubber or plastic line coming out of the other side. Make sure the drain isn't blocked or plugged so water and cleaner can drain as you clean the coils.  If it has a drain line that seems to be clogged, pour a 50/50 water and bleach solution in the drain pan and wait a few minutes to clear it out. You can purchase algae tablets from air conditioning specialty retailers to prevent algae from growing and clogging the drain. With the cover set aside, you can look around at the air conditioning coils and make sure there's no large bits of debris that may have worked their way into the unit. It's not uncommon for leaves, sticks or bugs to find their way into the interior of an outdoor unit.  You might want to use a shop vacuum for things like spiderwebs if you're uncomfortable removing them by hand. Be careful touching the fins, or blades, on the coil. They bend easily. Most compressors and motors in modern air conditioning units are maintenance free, but keep an eye out for dark drip marks on the bottom of the compressor housing or beneath it. That may be a sign of an internal oil leak.  If the compressor or motor are leaking oil, it will need to be repaired by a certified technician. Don't attempt to over-tighten connections on the compressor or motor, as you may worsen the leak. Be sure to use your garden hose and not a power washer, as too much force could bend the fins inside the air conditioning unit. Spray the coils down to remove any loose dirt and prepare the coil for a spray cleaner.  If the fan is still in place, avoid spraying it or its wiring directly with the hose. If your unit is indoors, you will need to use a different kind of cleaner for the next step.

TL;DR in English: Clear out the drain line (when applicable). Remove large debris from inside the unit with your hands. Look for signs of oil leaks. Spray the coil with water from the hose if its outdoors.

Because bleaching is so tough on the hair and can severely dehydrate it, you must make sure that it’s properly moisturized beforehand. For approximately two weeks before you bleach, do a deep conditioning mask twice a week to ensure your hair is fully hydrated. If your hair is extremely dry, you may want to use the deep conditioning treatment as much as three times a week leading up to the bleaching. You can purchase bleach powder at beauty supply stores, but you must mix it with a developer before you apply it to your hair. Add the amount specified by the packaging for the bleach and developer to a non-metallic bowl and stir them together well.  Developer comes in different strengths. To lighten your hair and limit the damage, opt for a 30-volume developer. If your scalp is very sensitive, though, you may want to use a 20-volume developer. If you’re new to bleach, you might want to start with a 10- or 20-volume developer. This will let you go through the process a bit more slowly, though you may not get your desired shade immediately. While bleach works best on virgin hair, you can still use it on hair that’s been colored before. Bleaching damage is usually worse the darker that you hair is. To get the best coverage, use a dye or tint brush to paint the bleach mixture onto your hair. Use the pointed end of the brush to part your hair so you can get as close to the roots as possible. Carefully brush the bleach mixture through to the ends of your hair.  Be sure to wear rubber gloves when you’re applying the bleach mixture to your hair. If you don’t mind having some roots showing, you may prefer not bringing the bleach all the way to your scalp. That can help limit the damage to your follicles. After you’ve applied the bleach all over your hair, allow it to sit for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Check on your hair every 15 minutes or so until it reaches your desired shade – whether light blond, yellow, or medium brown.  Refer to the instructions that came with your bleach, as different brands have different...

TL;DR in English: Deep condition regularly beforehand. Mix the bleach with a developer according to the package instructions. Apply the bleach to the hair with a tint brush. Let the bleach sit for about half an hour. Rinse the beach out your hair. Work a toner through the hair and let it sit. Wash out the toner and apply a conditioning mask.

Before you proceed to editing your film watch all your footage through, writing notes on every shots stating if it works, are there technical problems. This will save you a lot of time when editing. Many cameras edit in limited ways and some have special effects. Learn how to "cut" pieces of your footage together and put music or speech over your video. Check your camera's manual or use a software package like iMovie to make your final cuts. One way is to use your VCR or DVD burner to make copies for friends and auditions. If your film is digital, you can also output your final edit to a readable format to send via email. Also if your film is in digital format you can upload to YouTube or another video sharing site. Check up with the website's video formats to see if you can upload your movie.

You can maximize the growing season in your area by getting a head start with your artichokes indoors.  Start your seeds in individual 4 in (10 cm) containers and leave them under fluorescent lights or in a heated greenhouse. In normal indoor temperatures, seeds will likely germinate in a week or so. Increase the size of planters as needed. To harden off the artichokes, begin exposing seedlings to temporary outdoor sessions 6 weeks before the anticipated last frost date in your area. Move seedlings outdoors 3 to 4 weeks before the anticipated final frost. You actually want to expose the plants to a temperature below 45 °F (7 °C) to trigger flowering. They should be about as tall as your hand. Plant the seedlings so that the crown, or top, of the plant is just above the soil line. Cull weak seedlings.  After 8-10 weeks, healthy artichoke seedlings will have stocky stems and two sets of leaves. Remove any that do not. If you live in a place that only has 90-100 days a year without frost, you’ll likely need to start your plants with transplants.  Plan to start growing your transplants indoors late in the winter or in early spring.  Harvest will occur in late summer or early fall.  Acquiring rooted shoots from a year-round greenhouse or online plant distributor is a great way to establish transplants quickly. If acquiring them yourself, use a serrated knife to begin cutting an offshoot under 10 inches (25 cm) tall that’s growing from the base of the plant. Dig around the offshoot to ensure roots come with the offshoot as you remove it. If possible, 4 feet (1.2 m)-6 feet (1.8 m) between individual plants is even better.  These plants have large, aggressive wingspans and require substantial room to grow. If using raised beds, artichokes don’t necessarily need their own beds, but do need ample space to spread their leaves.

TL;DR in English: Sow seeds indoors. Transfer seedlings outdoors. Use transplants in especially cold climates. Plant artichokes at least 3 feet (0.9 m) apart.

At minimum, you should wear safety goggles and heat-resistant, fire-resistant gloves. Also note that you will need to handle the stainless steel object with another device, like tongs or a vice. Everything you use should be both fire-resistant and heat-resistant to prevent accidental burns. You'll need to prepare enough coffee grounds to cover all sides of the stainless steel object you wish to antique.  If you've recently made a pot of coffee, you can use the spent grounds from that. Otherwise, pour enough warm to hot water over a fresh batch of grounds and give the grounds a few minutes to absorb the moisture For small, narrow objects like screws, you can fill a small cup with your prepared grounds. For larger objects, coat the bottom of a shallow tray with the grounds, instead. Hold the metal object with tongs or a vice, then pass the flame of a lighter over the entire length of the object, heating it thoroughly.  Continue rotating and passing the flame over the stainless steel object until the metal begins to darken in color. For larger objects or a more controlled flame, consider using a propane tank with a lighter attachment instead of a handheld lighter. The stainless steel will reach temperatures just beneath 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius), so you need to work very carefully to prevent accidental burns. As soon as the steel object darkens, quickly dip the heated portion into the prepared coffee grounds. Hold it in the grounds for 15 to 30 seconds.  The water in the coffee grounds should quickly cool off the metal. Theoretically, the steel should be safe to touch once you remove it from the grounds, but you should still proceed with caution. In addition to cooling off the metal, the coffee should dye the stainless steel, giving it the appearance of antiqued metal. If you want to dye the steel even darker, reheat it and submerge it into the coffee grounds again.  You should be able repeat the process several times without damaging the metal. If you only want to dye one side or area darker,...

TL;DR in English: Wear the appropriate safety gear. Fill a container with warm, moist coffee grounds. Heat the steel using a lighter. Bury the steel in the coffee grounds. Repeat as needed. Polish as desired.

In some countries, a vaccine against rotavirus is available for children. Children under one year old can be administered the vaccine. In most cases, the rotavirus vaccine will prevent a child from experiencing severe symptoms of gastroenteritis throughout his or her life. Use hand sanitizer often. Always wash your hands after going to the bathroom, visiting public spaces, before and after eating, and whenever deemed appropriate throughout the day. Be sure to wash any clothing items, bedding, and/or washable toys that come into contact with an infected individual to avoid spreading the virus. Use a chlorine bleach-based cleaner to sterilize countertops in your home and avoid bacteria from spreading. Over the course of a day, the average person often comes into direct contact with bacteria and viruses that have the potential to cause sickness. Be sure to avoid touching your face, especially orifices such as your mouth, nose, eyes, and ears as much as possible throughout the day. Be sure to wash your hands before touching your face if possible. These foods have a higher ability to spread the stomach flu virus. Meats are especially prone to carrying the virus. Consume undercooked and raw meats and other foods with extreme caution.  Do not drink untreated water or unpasteurized milk when possible. Untreated or unpasteurized waters can carry illness-inducing bacteria and viruses. Only drink from sealed bottles and use bottled water to brush your teeth when you are travelling. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consuming to remove any outstanding bacteria from the outside of the produce.

TL;DR in English: Get a vaccine. Practice good hygiene. Clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces daily. Avoid touching your face throughout the day. Avoid undercooked and raw foods.

The first thing you’ll need to do when you arrive at the airport is to locate your airline. Airports are divided into terminals, and different airlines are housed in different terminals. There are also different terminals for arrivals and departures. You will need to go to the departure terminal for your airline. You can find out what terminal your airline is in by looking online, calling the airport or by asking one of the employees at the airport. If you are taking mass transportation or having someone drop you off at the airport, make sure you let them know what airline you are flying so they drop you at the correct building. Depending on what you’ve packed, you may need to check a bag or two. Most airlines will allow you one carry-on bag, in addition to one hand-held bag (like a laptop case or a purse.) If you are planning to check bags, go immediately to the counter for your designated airline.  If you are not checking a bag, skip this step and proceed straight to check in. Travelers are allowed to check up to two bags, but there is a weight and size limit on those bags. Check with your airline to see what those weight restrictions are. Be careful not to over-pack, as going over the weight limit for checked baggage may result in fees of over $75.00. In order to board your plane, you’ll need a boarding pass. If you’ve chosen to check your bags, give your airline attendant your identification and they’ll be able to print out your boarding pass for you. If you’re not checking your bags, you can still go to the attendant for help, or you can choose an easier and faster option.  Some airlines also offer kiosks for self-check in. To use these, all you’ll need is a credit card. Use the credit card to identify yourself and then follow the instructions on the kiosk to print out your boarding pass.  Some airlines also give you the option of checking in electronically. If this is the case, you will receive an e-mail 24 hours before your scheduled departure. Follow the instructions in the e-mail to check in for your...
