Proofread your letter carefully. Print your letter. Sign your letter in front of a notary, if necessary. Send your letter to the recipient.

Tell your teacher you need to use the restroom so that you can leave class a few minutes before the bell rings. This will give you time to go to your hiding place or to leave the school grounds before everyone is in the halls between classes. That way, there will be fewer people to see you skipping and it is less likely that you will get caught. To excuse yourself from class a few minutes before the bell, tell the teacher that you have a music lesson/sports practice, that you need to go and take medication, or that you desperately need to use the bathroom. The best thing about saying that you need to go to the counselor is that nobody will ask you why because that is private information and they'll just let you go without interjection. Tell one of your closest friends that is in the class you're skipping that you're not going to be in class because of some believable reason. Then if the teacher asks, your friend can chime in and let the teacher know why you're absent and the teacher won't become suspicious or keep thinking about it. Have your friend say that you are home, sick or that you are at a doctor's appointment with your mom. Remember that you can get in big trouble if you get caught, so you need to have a plan. If you can't come up with a good plan, maybe reconsider skipping in the first place. If you drive to school, try to remember to park off campus on the day that you are planning to skip. Most schools have closed parking lots, meaning that you can't take your car out of the school parking lot without a note until school is over. If you think it's possible that your parents might drive by the school parking lot during the day to make sure your car is there, it might be a better idea to park at school and just walk somewhere when you skip class. That way, your car will still be at school when your parents check up on you.

TL;DR in English: Leave class a few minutes early. Say you have to go see the school guidance counselor. Have an alibi. Park your car off campus.

To give your lip scrub flavor, you can use any type and flavor of lip balm that you like. Twist the lip balm up in the tube, and use a butter knife to carefully shave off a piece of the balm that’s approximately 2- to 3-inches (20 to 30 mm) thick. Place it in a small bowl.  Lip balms are available in a wide range of flavors, including fruit, such as strawberry and cherry, and even candy, such as Skittles or Starburst. Choose your favorite for the lip scrub. While most lip balms are transparent when they go on the lips, they’re often colored in the tube. If you use a colored balm, you’ll wind up with a colored scrub. For example, strawberry lip balm is often pink so you’ll wind up a pink lip scrub. You may need to add more than one piece of lip balm to give the scrub a vibrant color, though. Using additional pieces of lip balm will also intensify the flavor of the lip scrub. With the lip balm in the bowl, mix in 1 part petroleum jelly and 2 parts sugar. Use a spoon to stir all of the ingredients together until you wind up with a thick, grainy paste.  You can make as large or as small a batch of lip scrub as you’d like. Adjust the amount of lip balm, petroleum jelly, and sugar accordingly. You don’t necessarily need to worry about exact measurements with the scrub recipe. If you prefer a grainy, textured scrub, add more sugar. If you prefer a smoother scrub, add more petroleum jelly. It’s a good idea to rub a little of the scrub on your lips after you’ve mixed it. If you want it to have more flavor, stir in more of the lip balm. Once you’re satisfied with the texture and flavor of the scrub, use a spoon to carefully transfer it to a small plastic jar or container that has a lid. To use the scrub, massage a small amount over your lips for 30 to 60 seconds, and wipe it off with a damp wash cloth. When you’re putting the scrub in the storage container, pack it down with your finger so you can easily close the lid.

TL;DR in English: Break off a piece of the lip balm. Add the petroleum jelly and sugar. Spoon the scrub into a container.

In order to connect to a monitor, your MacBook needs either an HDMI port or a MiniDisplay Port.  An HDMI cable is about 3/4 of an inch wide with the bottom slightly smaller than the top. A Mini Displayport is square shaped with the bottom corners cut. It's the exact same shape as a Thunderbolt port. A Thunderbolt port and Mini Displayport have the same shaped port, but they are not the same.  Check the labels on the port.  A Mini Displayport has an icon that resembles a screen.  A Thunderbolt port has an icon that resembles a lightning bolt. Once you have determined what type of video out your MacBook uses, you'll need to purchase either an HDMI cable or Mini Displayport cable, depending on the port on your MacBook.  Make sure you get a cable that is long enough to connect your MacBook and your monitor.  If need be, measure the distance between the devices. Mini Displayport cables have a Mini Displayport plug on one end, and an HDMI port on the other end of the cable.  You can also purchase a Mini Displayport adapter to connect an HDMI cable directly to a Mini Displayport. If your monitor you are using does not have an HDMI or Mini Displayport, you can purchase an adapter from Apple or another electronics retailer.  These include a MiniDisplay-to-DVI, and MiniDisplay-to-VGA adapters, as well as HDMI-to-DVI adapters. Match the shape on the end of your cable to the HDMI or Mini Displayport on your MacBook and connect it. Use the other end of the cable to connect to a free HDMI port on the monitor. If there is more than one HDMI port on your monitor, make a note of which port you are connecting to.  HDMI ports are usually numbered. Press the power button on both your MacBook and the monitor. If the video has more than one HDMI or video input port, press the button on the remote or monitor that says Source, Input, Video In or similar.  Select the number port you connected your MacBook too.  You may see your MacBook display on the monitor automatically. If it does not appear automatically, continue to the next...

TL;DR in English: Check the video out ports on your MacBook Air. Purchase the right cable. Connect one end of the cable to your Macbook. Connect the other end of the cable to an HDMI port on your monitor. Turn on the monitor and your MacBook. Select the proper video source on the monitor. Click the Apple icon  on your MacBook.

As your horse moves, your pelvis rocks forward and backward in synch with the horse's movements. Your pelvis will naturally match your horse's gait, but you can alter your horse's speed by keeping your pelvis in position and adjusting your pelvic movements. Angle your pelvis slightly forward. Try to maintain your center of balance, and don't lean too far forward or you may get disoriented. You can try using vocal commands with your horse, but they work best when a horse has come to associate those words/sounds with a complementary action. However, some words (like "woah," "easy," and "back") are easily understood by horses due to frequent exposure.  If you want your horse to respond to a verbal command like "faster," you'll need to train your horse by saying "faster" while you squeeze or gently kick the horse's sides. Be aware of your tone of voice. The tone you speak in is at least as important as the actual words you say to your horse.

TL;DR in English: Keep your pelvis tilted slightly forward. Consider trying vocal commands.

The spelling and grammar in an attestation letter can effect how your letter is received. If it has numerous typos and errors, the recipient may not take it seriously. Check your facts as well. When you sign your letter, you'll be certifying that everything in it is true. Double check any numbers, dates, and other figures to make sure they're accurate. If you're mailing your letter, print it on official letterhead or high-quality paper. Avoid using regular copy paper, which can make it look less formal. If you don't have any high-quality paper, you can get a small box at your local office supplies store.  Make sure the letter printed cleanly, and the margins are adequate. There should be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides of the page. If your letter is more than one page, make sure the pages are numbered. Using "1 of 2" format will help the recipient confirm they have all of the pages. It isn't always necessary to have an attestation letter notarized. In many cases, just your signature will suffice. Contact the recipient to find out if notarization is necessary. Notarization typically is required if the attestation letter has legal significance. For example, if you are sending an attestation letter to certify that you've met the requirements for a professional license, notarization may be required. You may have to reach out to the recipient to find out their preferred method of receiving your attestation letter. For such a formal document, you want to mail it if at all possible. However, some recipients may prefer email or fax. If you're emailing your attestation letter, print it and sign it first. Then scan the original document so you can attach a PDF of the signed letter.

If you like giving your opinion, you might want to try doing online surveys from home to make a little extra cash while trying new products. There are hundreds of companies that enlist research panels of average consumers to complete surveys online. You can't expect to earn a full salary from taking online surveys, but it is possible to earn $50 to $100 a month in cash and free products if you take several short surveys, according to experienced online survey site members.  Try signing up with several survey sites (which are all free to join) to increase your chances of being selected for the surveys. Be aware that compensation varies by company and by survey. You may receive a few dollars, or be sent free products in exchange for trying them and providing feedback about them. Make sure the site is legitimate. Check to see if the website has a good rating and ensure that they have a privacy policy. If you have expert knowledge on a certain topic, then a quick way to make some cash is to answer questions about it online. Topics range from basic legal procedures, to psychological health to computer troubleshooting.  First you need to find reputable websites that will pay you for sharing your expertise. Try sites like JustAnswer, Keen and ChaCha. Be aware that most sites have a minimum pay-out rate, usually $20. It's easier than ever to sell stuff online these days. You can set up your own website and start your own small-scale business or you can go through an online auction website like eBay. Which option you go for  all depends on whether you're looking for a long-term money-spinner or a quick fix.  Decide what your goal is. Setting up your own online store is a great idea if you're looking for a long-term project and you're willing to invest your time and money into it. Online auction sites,on the other hand, are good options if you are looking to sell something quickly, as they already have large customer bases of people ready to snap up a bargain. eBay, Webstore and eBid are some of the most popular ones....

If you don’t want to expand externally, but don’t have any extra space inside the computer, you can replace the CD, DVD, or Floppy (AKA Optical Drive). A standard 3.5” internal desktop hard drive is a good way to add lots of space for cheap. Both hard drives and optical drives can utilize either an IDE or SATA interface cable(two alternates to USB). Most hard drives will come bundled with the cables they need, but you may need to purchase them separately as well. Most optical drives utilize a 5.25” expansion bay, which is too large for a 3.5” hard drive. You may need mounting brackets or a 5.25” to 3.5” bay adapter. Consult your manufacturer’s specifications to verify the size of your optical drive first. The expansion bay is the space that holds the drive. Both mounting brackets and bay adapters will allow you to fit your smaller hard drive into the larger space. You want to make sure the computer is completely powered off and unplugged before touching any of the electronic components. You will likely need a screwdriver to open the computer wall. The type of screwdriver will vary depending on manufacturer. Most optical drives are connected via two cables: power and data.  The power cable typically has a white tip attached with black, yellow, and red wires. The data cable has a wide tip attached to a ribbon cable. Once the screws are removed, the drive should either slide out or release with a latch. Secure the necessary adapter with screws. Slide the drive into the bay and reattach the screws. Reattach the power and data cables. You will need to plug the computer back in to setup the drive. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the software used by the processor to identify its hardware like your newly installed hard drive. Different manufacturers use different software to access and modify the BIOS. Consult the manufacturer’s specifications to confirm exactly how to access the BIOS and the hardware section within.  Power on the computer, and press the necessary key during the startup screen. Look for a tab...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a new internal hard drive. Acquire necessary adapters. Remove power from the computer. Open the computer. Disconnect the cables attaching the drive. Unscrew and remove the drive. Install the mounting brackets or bay adapter (if necessary). Mount the hard drive in the empty bay. Connect the hard drive to the motherboard. Restore power to the computer. Setup the drive in the BIOS. Format the Drive.

A panel is just 1 single curtain. It's traditional to use 2 panels per window frame, but you can use 1 panel per frame if you prefer a simpler look. Separating the panels into pairs beforehand will make it easier to keep track of how many you're putting on the curtain rods. If you’re using straight curtain rods, put a pair of panels on each rod. If you’re using a bay window curtain rod, put 2 panels for each window frame on the rod and adjust the curtains so the bent corners of the rod are exposed. If you’re using double brackets, put curtains on a second set of straight curtain rods, or on a second bay window curtain rod. If you’re using straight curtain rods, hang 1 rod over each window frame, or 2 rods if you’re using double brackets. If you’re using a bay window curtain rod, line up the straight edges of the rod with the sections of your bay window. The bent corners of the rod should line up with the corners in your bay window.  Once the rods are in the brackets, adjust them as needed. To adjust the rods, pull the ends of the rods out to make them longer, or push them in to make them shorter. If you don't have brackets because you're using tension rods, just insert the rods into the tops of your window frames in your bay window. Extend the adjustable ends on the rods until the rods are snug in the frames.

Recognize the symptoms of a fracture in your foot. Learn the "RICE" treatment plan. Take some acetaminophen. Go see your personal physician.

Some stories might work best with simple dialogue descriptors like "said" or "answered." Others might sound great with more descriptive words, like "protested" or "exclaimed." Your story might even work with a mix of the two! Go with whatever sounds best to you in the context of your work. No matter what you choose, make sure you don't use the same descriptor over and over. This gets repetitive and boring for the reader. It should provide information to the reader about the story or the characters. Dialogue is a great way to prove character development or character information that your reader might not otherwise get.  Don't do small talk about the weather or how each character is doing, even if that's something that comes up a lot in real conversations. Now, a way in which small talk would be well used is to build up tension. For example, a character really needs certain information from another character, but the second character insists upon the ritual of small talk, your reader and your character will be biting their nails in waiting to get to the good stuff. All your dialogue should have a purpose. As you're writing dialogue, ask yourself, "what does this add to the story?" "What am I trying to tell the reader about the character or the story?" If you don't have an answer to those questions, scrap the dialogue. This is a big one that a lot of people have the tendency to do. You think, what better way to get information across to my reader than by having my characters discuss it at length? Hold it right there! Background information needs to be added sporadically throughout the story.  For example of what not to do: Jane turned to Charles and said, "Oh Charles, remember when my father died a mysterious death and my family was turned out of our home by my evil aunt Agatha?" "I do remember that, Jane. You were only 12-years-old and you had to drop out of school to help out your family." A better version of the above might go something like: Jane turned to Charles, her lips set in a grim line. "I heard from...

This requires you to get closer to the wasps than the others, so it's recommended against if you're allergic to wasps. Rather than normal insecticides which are potentially dangerous for your family, this requires no harmful ingredients. For this method, you will only need an empty spray bottle, water, witch hazel, and peppermint essential oil. Fill it almost to the top with half distilled water and half witch hazel. Add 30-50 drops of peppermint essential oil. The peppermint oil will stick to the wasps, making it difficult for them to fly and will lead to their hasty demise.

TL;DR in English: Be careful. Find the things you need. Make your solution. Spray it on the wasps in your home as they come along.

Routinely washing your face prevents dirt and oil from building up on your face and clogging your pores. Dirty, clogged skin can get in the way of your beard hair growing properly, so it’s important you keep your skin clean. Get in the habit of washing your face in the shower every morning and right before you go to bed at night.  Use a cleanser designed specifically to be used on the face so you don’t irritate your skin. Look for a cleanser that's meant for your skin type, whether it's oily, dry, combination, or acne-prone. Exfoliation will get rid of the dead skin cells built up on your face that can prevent your beard hair from growing in. Use a gentle exfoliating face scrub after you wash your face at night. Don’t exfoliate more than twice a week or you could irritate your skin. Like moisturizer, beard oil will keep the skin under your beard moist and prevent your beard hairs from drying out. To apply beard oil, work a few drops into your beard hair after you wash your face. If you have a longer beard, use a comb to work the oil into your beard. Routine trims will keep your beard healthy so it doesn't get damaged to the point where you have to start all over. Wait until you have at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of hair before you start trimming it. Use scissors to trim your beard hairs so you can be more precise with how much you cut off.

TL;DR in English: Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser. Exfoliate your face twice a week. Apply a beard oil to your beard every day. Trim your beard every few weeks.

When you’re just building the relationship, you don’t want to scare the person away by trying to make too much contact. Texting and calling several times a day may be overkill and could make the person resist wanting to be friends with you.  Initially, making contact every few days or when you want to do something together is ideal. Over time, you can reach out more, but only after you’ve been friends for a while. A good rule of thumb is to follow the other person’s lead. Return texts or calls when they text or call you. If you don’t hear from them after a few days you can reach out, but only do it once. Bombarding them with texts and calls will just scare them away. If you’ve made the mistake of coming on too strong, you may be able to save your friendship by taking a step back. By giving the person space, you may make them more apt to being your friend. If your calls and texts are unanswered, your invitations for spending time together are often declined, or you just have a feeling that something is going wrong, your friend may be backing away from you. You can ask them what happened, or you can try giving them space and see if that makes the friendship better. Just like every relationship, this friendship needs time to blossom. Don’t expect too much too soon. If you’ve found someone you feel you’ve made a connection with, you may want to jump at the chance of spending as much time together as possible. However, this may make your new friend shy away from you. Take things slow and give your friendship a time to develop into something strong and long-lasting.

TL;DR in English: Don’t contact them too much. Recognize the signs you need to back off. Give the friendship time to grow.

Foot fracture symptoms often start out as a slight discomfort towards the front of the foot, where most of the force and pressure is exerted. Many times, this pain is very slight and the onset is only during long periods of exercise, running or working out; this is called a "stress fracture" and is actually a tiny crack in the bone.  As soon as you stop your activity, the pain often vanishes. This leads many people to disregard and not even consider a fracture.  Other symptoms include swelling, throbbing pain, and discoloration or bruising. This is universal for any kind of bone fracture or stress fracture, and is the best way to treat a fracture at home for the first 72 hours after your injury or until you can seek medical care.  Rest. Immediately stop what you are doing and refrain from any activities that cause pain to your foot. No more exercising, running, or whatever it was you were doing when you felt the pain; stop and get off your feet. Ice. As soon as possible, put ice on the injured area. If your foot is fractured, it will soon start to swell, if it hasn't already. Do not apply heat, which would encourage more blood to rush to the area and make the swelling worse. Ice it down. Using crushed ice in a damp tea towel, ice the area for 20 minutes every two hours.  Compression. Wrap the injured area in a bandage fairly snugly to help reduce swelling. Be careful that it's not so tight that it cuts off the circulation; you'll know it's too tight if you experience numbness, tingling, or discoloration. Leave the toes unbandaged if possible to easily check the circulation. Elevation. Sit down or lie down, but keep the injured foot elevated. The idea is to keep the injured foot above the level of your heart in order to decrease swelling. Your fracture is likely to cause some considerable pain, so treat the pain safely while promoting healing in your bones. Avoid naproxen sodium and ibuprofen, which some doctors believe have the potential to delay the healing process with bone injuries. As soon as the pain and...

Talk to your doctor about testing. Take a blood test. Consider a saliva test. Discuss the results with your doctor.

Your fish tank should hold about 1 gallon (4 L) of water for each shrimp. No matter how many you have, ghost shrimp will be most comfortable in at least 10 gallons (40 L) of water. If you have to keep your shrimp in a tank smaller than 10 gallons (40 L), allow 1.5 gallons (6 L) or more for each shrimp to make up for the small space. The hardest part of breeding ghost shrimp is keeping the young shrimp alive. If you let the eggs hatch in the same tank as the adult shrimp, the young could be eaten by the adults. This second tank doesn't need to be as large as the first, but a larger tank will give the young shrimp the best chance at survival. Filters are necessary to keep aquarium water clean. Most filters suck the water in to clean it, but these can kill the tiny ghost shrimp young. Use a sponge filter instead to avoid this possibility.  If your tank is larger than 10 gallons (37.9 L) and contains fish as well as shrimp, you should use a hang-on or canister filter to provide better cleaning. Never use anything besides a sponge filter for the breeding tank. If you don't want to buy a sponge filter, you can cover your filter's water intake with a sponge or a piece of nylon stocking. Alternatively, if your filter intake is too weak to suck in adult shrimp, you can disconnect the filter before the young hatch and replace 10% of the water volume in the tank every day until the young are fully grown and you can turn the filter on again. Like most aquarium pets, ghost shrimp need air pumped through the water in order to breathe. Without an air pump, the water will run out of oxygen and the shrimp will suffocate. Sand or light gravel will keep the shrimp transparent, while dark gravel will cause them to develop small specks and make them more visible. Pick any color and type you like. For additional detail in setting up a freshwater aquarium, see this article. Many places treat tap water with chlorine, so treat it with a dechlorinator or chloramine remover to make it safe for animals. At the very least, leave it out...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a large fish tank. Purchase a second tank for breeding. Use any filter for the main tank, and a sponge filter for the breeding tank. Install an air pump in each tank. Cover the bottom of each tank with sand or gravel. Fill the tanks with appropriate water. Keep the water at 65-82º F (18-28º C). Add live plants and hiding places.

When used properly, a menstrual cup may be the best option for exercising during your period. These cups are reusable, and they can stay in place for up to twelve hours.  Menstrual cups are ideal if you are doing endurance training, running a marathon, or hiking. Menstrual cups may move around during yoga, however. Once a menstrual cup is in, you should feel no discomfort, but some people may struggle with placing the cup. If you don’t have a menstrual cup, buy a box of tampons instead.  Tampons are not comfortable for everyone during exercise, however. If you find that you can’t exercise with a tampon in, try another method instead. "Sport" tampons are designed for workouts. You can try using these if normal tampons are uncomfortable while you exercise. If you have a heavy flow, you may need more protection. Use a pantyliner in addition to a menstrual cup or tampon. Put a new one in your undies just before exercising. Pads may cause uncomfortable chafing as you exercise. They can also scrunch up as you exercise, giving you less protection than you may need. If tampons and menstrual cups don't work for you, however, pads may be your only option. The underwear should be made out of a breathable fabric such as cotton. Underwear with more coverage will be more comfortable and prevent more leaks than a thinner type, such as a thong. You can even invest in a pair of period-proof underwear, such as Thinx. These can be worn in addition to or instead of a tampon or menstrual cup. Pants and shirts that are too tight might cause discomfort, especially if you’re experiencing cramps, constipation, or bloating. Instead, choose looser clothing. Make sure that your pants are dark, just in case there’s a leak!  For example, instead of tight leggings, wear loose sweatpants to the gym. A cotton t-shirt or tank top is perfect, especially if you don’t tolerate heat well on your period.

TL;DR in English: Try using a  menstrual cup. Insert a new tampon just before exercising. Apply a pantyliner if you’re prone to leaks. Use pads if you can't use tampons or menstrual cups. Choose boy shorts or hipster underwear. Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing.

Whenever dust and fingerprints begin to accumulate, wipe the screen off with a soft cloth. This will keep the picture as clear as possible. Also, remove stains before they have time to settle. This way, you won’t have to depend on liquid cleaners. Wipe the box of the device with a soft cloth to remove all dust. Anything blocking the vents disturbs the device’s ability to cool. TVs, for example, that are well-ventilated last longer. Plasma screens suffer from burn-in, which happens when the screen’s pixels are damaged. Do not pause images on the screen and leave them on there for more than ten minutes. Also, keep brightness levels as low as possible and turn down the contrast level in dim light.

If you have two more more related health conditions, talk to your general physician about testing for MTHFR genetic mutations.  Your doctor will be able to discuss and analyze the risk more thoroughly. If he or she agrees that testing might be wise, your doctor can take steps to order it. Depending on the circumstances, your doctor will either collect the necessary sample and send it to an analysis laboratory or refer you to a website where you can order a cheek swab home testing kit. A common way to test for MTHFR mutations will be a blood test. Your doctor will collect the necessary blood sample and send it for analysis at an appropriate laboratory. The lab technicians will study your blood sample at a genetic level and look for abnormalities in the MTHFR gene. During a saliva test, your doctor will collect a sample by swabbing the inside of your cheek. That sample will also be sent to a lab for genetic analysis.  Saliva tests are just as accurate as blood tests and are not invasive which makes it for a better choice for most patients, especially children and babies. There are currently no home-based genetic tests that are approved for MTHFR diagnostic purposes, but they are just as accurate and do not require a prescription. Cheek swab home test kits are direct-to-consumer tests and easily ordered online. When the results come back, they will show as either positive or negative.  Positive results will usually name the specific mutation, as well. A written interpretation of those results might be included, but if it isn't, you will need your doctor to explain the results to you. After you receive the results, you should also talk to your doctor about possible treatment plans.

Position an E staff on top of your benchmark spot. Find the height difference between your level and the benchmark spot. Calculate your level’s actual height using the benchmark height. Find the height difference between your level and the unmeasured spot. Calculate the spot’s actual height using your level’s height.

When a friend is dealing with anxiety, they can't put off how they're feeling until you're available to help them deal with it. Show that you see them as a priority by pressing “pause” on other things to be there for them.  For instance, if a friend says, “I'm freaking out about my upcoming test,” it won't help reassure them if you say “Can we talk about this later?” Instead, make time for them right away—even if for only a few minutes. You might say, “Okay, can you tell me more about what's going on?” In some cases, you don't have to say anything at all. Just sit silently with your friend to help reassure them that they are safe and sound. Active listening is a great tool that helps strengthen relationships, but it can also help reassure someone who's feeling upset. Oftentimes, when people are troubled, others may only be interested in getting them to calm down. A better route is to hear your loved one out. Make eye contact, turn to face the person, and nod your head encouragingly. Once they've finished talking, restate what they said to be sure you got the right message. Restating might sound like, “If I'm hearing you right, you're saying…” It's helpful to show your friend that they're not abnormal for feeling how they feel. You can do this by  validating their emotions. Validation is a big part of helping them feel reassured. For instance, if your friend says they're afraid that they have a stalker, you might say, “Wow, I would be frightened if someone was following me, too.” Anxiety and fear can get a person hung up in the present moment, making them completely forget that these feelings are temporary. Reassure your friend by reminding them that the feeling will go away. You might even remind them of a time when they got through a similar circumstance.  Saying something like, “I know this is tough for you, but it will get better. Remember how tough it was when your dad died. You got through that and you will get through this.” When you do this, remind them that it's okay to not be okay sometimes. You...

TL;DR in English: Make yourself available to them. Be a good listener. Make them feel understood. Remind them that they won't always feel this way. Be patient.

Make sure it doesn’t touch any part of the canal. Hold the dog's ear flap open if you need to. This will help to keep the nozzle and medication from being contaminated before the next application. Deliver the proper amount of medication into the ear canal. If the medicine is liquid, this is usually specified in a number of drops from a squeeze bottle. If the medicine is an ointment, then the proper amount may be specified differently. Make certain to aim the nozzle tip towards the opening of the ear canal so the medication actually gets into this area. Once the medication is delivered gently massage the base of the ear to make sure the medication is evenly distributed. Use a piece of tissue or a paper towel to wipe any medication that has spilled down the ear onto the fur. A dog's first instinct when you put medicine in its ear is to shake its head. After that initial shake, try to keep the dog from excessively shaking his or her head for a few minutes in order to give the medication time to work. You can release the dog if you don't think it will go wild, but try distracting the dog with gentle play or a food treat or even a short, slow leash walk. Once again, wipe around the ear to remove any excess drops that have drained from the ear. Make sure to give the medication to the dog as long as the label directions instruct. Failure to do so may result in not fully eradicating the problem and may even make the infection stronger by building its resistance to the medication.

TL;DR in English: Carefully aim the nozzle’s opening toward the ear canal’s opening. Squeeze the tube or bottle gently. Massage the outside of the ear canal. Hold the dog steady for awhile. Apply medication for as long as prescribed.

Making things interesting and funny greatly increases the amount of vocabulary you retain. Get in the habit of coming up with memory aids, or mnemonic devices, for new vocabulary. Have fun--the sillier, the better! For instance:   You can develop some devices based on sound. If you're learning the word “mesa” (“table” in Spanish), say to yourself “Yolanda made a huge MESS all over the MESA.” You can create other devices based on meaning. For instance, if you're learning the word дом (dom or “home” in Russian), recognize that shares a root with the Latin word “domus” (“home”) and related English words. Think of a silly phrase like “Donald has a dozen DOMESTICATED dogs in his DOM.” Even if you can't get super creative with all of the words and phrases you learn, it still helps to simply create a visual picture of what you are learning. This can be as simple as imagining the thing you are studying. If you're learning “el pan” (“bread” in Spanish), picture a loaf sitting in a pan. If you're learning “ir” (“to go”), picture a fast car going down the street. While it sounds like a complicated term, diglot weaving is actually a simple and fun way to learn new words. Simply replace a word in a sentence in your native language with the corresponding word in the foreign language. Since you can lean on your native language while learning foreign words, it's great for beginners. Examples of diglot weaving include:  ”My friends and I split a pizza at the lunch Tisch” (when learning the German word “Tisch,” or “table”). ”Romeo told Juliet he'd lover her siempre” (when learning the Spanish word “siempre, or “always”).

TL;DR in English: Get creative with some mnemonic devices. Visualize the meaning of words. Try diglot weaving.

A heavy duty fabric designed to be used as a headliner will last longer and will form a better adhesion to the headliner board. Be sure you use the correct material for the best fit and bond, and so the fabric won’t warp or sag over time in your vehicle.  Temperature fluctuations that occur in vehicles can cause other materials to sag. You can find headliner fabric at auto supply stores and online. Take the new fabric and lay it across the panel. There will be plenty of excess material hanging over the edges of the headliner panel. Smooth out the fabric so it lies flat. Check to see if the material has a front and a back end and make sure they correspond with the front and back of the panel. Take one edge of the fabric and fold the material back onto itself so half of the panel is exposed. Smooth out the fabric at the crease of the fold so the material lies flat. Working 1 half at a time makes it easier to attach the new fabric. Spray adhesive is an industrial bonding agent similar to glue that can be sprayed onto a surface to adhere it to another surface. Shake the spray adhesive well, then apply a thin, even layer on the exposed headliner panel. Then, spray the adhesive onto the folded fabric so the underside is coated.  Hold the spray can about 1 foot (0.30 m) away from the surface of the headliner and fabric. Use even, back and forth motions to spray the adhesive. You can find spray adhesive at home improvement stores, at department stores, and online. Unfold the headliner fabric and lay it back down on the panel. Use your hands to smooth out any creases or bubbles between the fabric and the panel so it’s smooth and consistent.  Push any bubbles to the edge of the panel so they can be removed. Smooth the fabric as long as it takes to make it completely flat. Repeat the process with the other half of the fabric. Fold it back onto itself, spray the adhesive on the panel and the fabric, then lay the fabric back on the panel. Use your hands to smooth out the material so there aren’t any trapped bubbles or...

TL;DR in English: Use fabric designed for vehicle headliners. Lay the new headliner over the panel. Fold half of the fabric back over itself. Spray an adhesive on the exposed panel and the fabric. Place the fabric on the panel and smooth it out. Pull up the other half, apply the adhesive, and attach it to the panel.

If necessary, purchase an E staff online or from a survey equipment shop. Then, have a friend or colleague hold the staff on top of your benchmark spot.  For the most accurate measurements, have your friend rock the staff forwards and backwards and record the lowest number you read. Most E staffs collapse to save space, so make sure you extend your staff before taking any measurements. Use a fiberglass staff instead of a metal version if you’re taking measurements in an area beneath power lines. Look through your dumpy level’s telescope and locate the E staff. Then, record the measurement indicated by your device’s center, horizontal crosshair.  This measurement is known as your backsight. Each numbered section of your staff represents 10 cm (3.9 in). Within these sections, every block indicates 1 cm (0.39 in) and every E indicates 5 cm (2.0 in). Once you have your backsight measurement, add it to your benchmark location's actual height. This will give you the current height of your dumpy level’s telescope. Record this measurement so you can use it to find the height of your next spot. Move your E staff so it sits directly on top of the spot you want to measure. Use your device’s telescope to find the staff, then record whatever number the device’s center, horizontal cross hair sits over.  This measurement is known as your foresight. If necessary, adjust your eyepiece’s focusing knob until you can see the staff. If the spot is too high or far away for you to measure, move your staff to a lower, closer spot first. Find the height of this new spot, then move your dumpy level to it and restart the measuring process. Unlike with your previous calculation, you’ll need to subtract your foresight measurement from your dumpy level’s actual height. This will give you the height of the spot you measured. When your record this height, make sure to include a thorough description or diagram of the spot you measured. That way, if you return to the area, you’ll be able to find the measured spot easily.

Determine the composition of your vents. Turn off your heat, air conditioning, or vent fan. Clear loose dust and grime from the vent. Remove your floor vents. Insert the vents and start your dishwasher. Replace your vents after washing.

Low levels of hCG may indicate an early pregnancy. Decreasing levels may be cause for concern, but only your doctor can tell you for sure. Before you feel stressed or frightened, have a conversation with your OB/GYN. They will ask you if you’re having any symptoms that might suggest your pregnancy is at risk, like vaginal bleeding or abdominal cramps. Most likely, repeat testing will be done.  Ask questions like, “Is it possible I’m not as far along in my pregnancy as we believed?” If your pregnancy is at risk, your doctor may tell you to rest in bed until things improve. You can also ask if there are any medications safe to take during your pregnancy that might help prevent miscarriage. hCG values are usually just used as guidelines, and a single low reading is nothing to worry about. Ask your doctor to check your hCG level again in a couple of days so that you can watch for trends. hCG is not a hormone that you can increase or decrease safely by yourself, and keeping a healthy pregnancy depends on a delicate balance of hormones that should be supervised by your doctor. Do not use products claiming to increase hCG. These are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and might actually cause harm to your baby.

TL;DR in English: Discuss your numbers with your OB/GYN. Repeat the hCG test. Stay away from products claiming to boost hCG.

Get good curtains to block streetlight, and consider getting blackout curtains if you are really disturbed by light. Eliminate light sources in your bedroom — anything that emits light should be turned to face the wall, covered, or turned off. Nightlights are a bad idea.  In the hours before you sleep, dim the lights in your house and avoid screens.  If you share a room with someone who needs lights on in the morning or after you have gone to bed, sleep with a soft cotton sleep mask. Light inhibits the production of melatonin, a hormone that makes you feel tired. The light emitted from electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops is particularly stimulating, preventing your body from making melatonin and making it very difficult for you to fall asleep. Try to avoid using these devices before bed. Though some ambient noise may be comforting, you are less likely to sleep well in a house full of irregular noises. Consider earplugs if you live with other people. Set a noise policy with your housemates or family that will keep the house quiet at nighttime. The sound of a fan or white noise machine may help you fall asleep and stay asleep. White noise combines sounds of many different frequencies, which can mask other sounds that might disrupt your sleep or wake you up. Piling on blankets may make you feel sleepy, but being overheated can actually interfere with your sleep. Regulate your room's temperature and toss off blankets if you are hot. Sleep naked if you feel comfortable doing so, so your body can self-regulate its temperature.  Lower the heat at night. Your core temperature goes down at night, so keeping your room cool will help you stay comfortable.  Some people believe that taking a cool shower at night may help you fall asleep, as it lowers the body's temperature to the level it's at when you sleep. The quality of your mattress and pillow can affect your sleep. You will sleep best on a mattress that feels right to you. Your mattress may need replacing every seven years, or earlier if it is...

TL;DR in English: Keep your room dark at night. Stop noise pollution. Cool down. Nest in a supportive bed. Keep your room clear.

If this person has a problem with substance abuse, gambling, binge eating, or other destructive behaviors, there's a good chance they're a pathological liar.  For example, you may notice a co-worker drinking extra at a company party. You may see them filling up their drink when no one else is at the bar, or even notice them carrying a flask. You may also notice you don't see one co-worker eat at lunch, but sometimes find evidence of food having been in their office. They may be very secretive about eating habits, and habitually turn down offers to get food with co-workers. Pathological liars are often disconnected with reality. A lot of times, they may believe parts of their lies themselves. They may be deluded about themselves and their abilities.  A pathological liar may have a tendency to exaggerate their importance. They may see something innocuous, like a compliment from a boss, as a sign of personal greatness. When recounting the compliment, they may fluff its importance. A pathological liar may lack basic life skills, but  may not see this as a problem. If the person has a distorted view of reality, they may honestly believe what they are saying. While this is not true of all pathological liars, consider the possibility that the person is not lying out of malice. Pathological liars tend to have unstable relationships. Consider anything you know about this person's relationship history. Look for any warning signs of instability.  Does this person have stable friendships or romantic relationships? A lack of longterm friends, and a series of failed romances, may indicate a pathological liar. A pathological liar may also be estranged from their family. A pathological liar tends to bluff their way into jobs. A pathological liar may have many jobs on their resume. However, most of these jobs will be short term. They may also dodge questions about why certain jobs did not work out longterm.  For example, a pathological liar may have a long resume. Most of the jobs will only have been short term. If you ask...

TL;DR in English: Look for underlying secret habits. Consider whether the person lives in reality. Think about the person's relationships with others. Study the person's career.

In most cases, vents made of metal can be cleaned in your dishwasher. Avoid washing vents with paint, as the heat from your dishwasher can cause it to peel. You should not use your dishwasher to clean:  Wooden vents, which are especially susceptible to intense heat. Never clean wooden floor vents in a dishwasher, unless otherwise indicated by the product's care instructions. Plastic vents, because the heat of the dishwasher can cause these to deform, ruining them. Manually cleaning these instead is safest. If you leave your home ventilation system on while cleaning vents, the blower might turn on and kick dust and grime into the air. This will only cause the dirtiness on your vents to spread around your home.  Dust and grime that have become airborne can irritate your eyes and lungs when cleaning. If you have sensitive eyes or lungs, or if you suffer from allergies, you may want to wear protective eyewear and a dust mask. Clearing loose dust and grime will prevent it from falling on your floor when transporting your vents to the dishwasher. This can be done easily with a vacuum equipped with a crevice tool, or by wiping down vents with a clean, water damp rag. You don't have to be especially thorough when cleaning loose dirt on your vents. A few passes with a vacuum or water damp rag should be sufficient. Most floor vents are fastened in place with standard screws. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen the screws and remove the vents you'd like to clean. Have a vacuum or water damp rag handy, as additional dirt and grime may be built up behind the vent.  You'll likely find more loose dust and dirt behind your vents. In most cases, a quick pass with the crevice tool of your vacuum will clean this away. You may want to lay something, like a drop cloth newspaper, under wall floor vents or next to vents positioned flat in the floor. This way, you'll catch extra dirtiness and have a place to set removed vents. Arrange your vents in your dishwasher without stacking them on top of each other. Avoid using dishwasher...

Keep talcum powder or cornmeal handy. Treat stains. Avoid cleaning the boots with water.

Wash the beets first using cool water. Pat them dry with a towel. Using a sharp paring knife, cut away the rough outer layer. You can also use a peeler to help scrape off the skins.  You may want to wear gloves as you do this to prevent your fingers from staining. Use a steel cutting board, as beet juice can stain wood, plastic, and marble boards. The skin is edible, but it has a very bitter taste that you may not want in your salad. Keep about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the stem on the beet. Beet root greens are extremely healthy and tasty. If you want to add them to the salad, tear them into pieces with your fingers. Set the greens aside until you are ready to toss the salad. Use a sharp chef's knife. Hold the beet on the uncut bottom end with your fingers curled inward to prevent injury. Start at the end where the top was sliced off. Slice the beet into thin rounds.  You can also use a mandoline to create very thin slices. If you want even smaller pieces, slice the rounds in half. Put a medium-sized grater over a non-porous plate or surface, such as a ceramic plate or steel cutting board. Take the peeled beet and press it against the grater. Move the beet up and down against the grate to produce beet shavings. to make beet noodles. You will need to slice off about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from both ends of the beet to use a spiralizer. Set a bowl under the blade where the noodles will come out. Place the beet between the blade and the crank. Turn the crank to make the noodles. Once you have cut the beets into your desired shape, you can go ahead and throw them in your salad. Toss the raw beets in with lettuce, dressing, and your other favorite vegetables. Use sweet and tangy flavors to offset the earthy, bitter taste of the beets.  Add the beet greens now if you want. Lemon dressings, vinaigrettes, and mustard dressings pair well with beets. Kale, arugula, or spinach taste great in a raw beet salad. Sprinkle the beets with chili and squeeze lemon juice on top for a spicy twist.

TL;DR in English: Slice the skin off of the beets using a paring knife. Chop the greens off of the beet. Slice the beets if you want a crunchy texture. Grate the beets if you want smaller pieces. Use a spiralizer Toss the beets in your salad.

Before you begin your game, make sure that you have everything that you need to play Scrabble. You will need a game board, 100 letter tiles, one letter rack for each player, and a cloth bag to hold the letter tiles. You will also need 1-3 other people to play with. It is possible that during the course of your game, someone will play a word that another player believes is invalid. In a situation like this, you will need to look up the word in a dictionary. Make sure that you have a dictionary or a mobile device with a Scrabble checker app on hand to deal with challenges. To make sure that the letters are distributed fairly, put them into the bag, close it, and shake them around a bit. Pass the bag around the table and allow each player to draw one tile. Then, place your tiles face up on the table. The player with the letter that is closest to the letter “A” gets to go first. Put these letters back into the bag and shuffle them again before drawing tiles. If any player draws a blank tile, he or she will start the game. Beginning with the person who drew the tile closest to "A", allow the players to take seven tiles. Hold the bag above eye level so that you can't see the tiles. Do not show these tiles to your fellow players. Just put them onto your tile rack and pass the bag to the next player until everyone has drawn their letters.

TL;DR in English: Make sure that you have everything you need to play Scrabble. Choose a dictionary to use for challenges. Put the tiles in the bag and shake them. Determine who goes first. Draw your tiles.

While being a dancer is totally not a prerequisite to being good at and enjoying Zumba, knowing what you're getting into can't hurt. There are elements of the cha cha, salsa, and merengue in Zumba -- along with a bit of hip hop and modern (and legit core exercises, of course!). Luckily, it's wikiHow to the rescue! Check out the following for a brief brush-up:  How to Do the Cha Cha How to Dance Salsa How to Dance Merengue Any class is going to be difficult if you're not adequately prepared for it. To sidestep this easily side-steppable hurdle, wear the right clothes! You will heat up quickly, so go for light clothing, or layers that you can shed at will. Do know that it's all about style, though -- some students will be in Spandex and some will be in baggy sweats. There's no right or wrong! And when it comes to footwear, aim for an exercise shoe that's worn in. If it has too much tread, you won't be able to float and pivot like you want. For the record, it's worth investing in some dance sneakers if you do decide to stick to it. They're only about $30.00 from a discount dance supply store and can easily be found online. Even though you're spending the hour dancing and not feeling like you're getting a workout, you most definitely are. You WILL be sweating, so bring a towel and some water! Most instructors take small breaks between songs, so you'll be glad you did. Some swear that in an hour's class, you could burn near 600 calories. That's amazing! That's an hour avoided on the treadmill! Of course, it depends on how much energy you put into it. But there's serious potential there. Most fitness classes have a serious structure to them. The instructor stands at the front and talks at you for pretty much the entire hour. In short, this isn't that. There's a reason they ask you if you want to "join the party" when you start. It's a workout where the hour flies by and you'll forget you're not at the club (or home in your underwear). Many feel that it's a way of life. Some even say Zumba-ers make for better...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with Latin-based dances. Get the right clothing and footwear. Bring your towel and bottle of water! Don't expect your standard fitness class. Dance! Give it a few tries.

Before you can get started organizing your documents, you'll want to make sure you've got all of your documents in front of you.  Don't worry about how your files are organized or arranged just yet.  For now, gather up all the documents you think need to be stored and get ready to sort them.  Take out older documents that you have already sorted.  You may want to rearrange them to fit in with the new system that you're creating. Make sure you've got all of your recent documents collected and ready to be sorted. When you are organizing your files, it can be helpful to form them into two main categories: active files that you need to work with and archival files that you need to store away.  This will help you access the files you use more often and neatly store away the files you won't be needing immediate access to.  Active files are documents that you still need to address, reference or otherwise access often. Archival files are documents that you won't need in the near future, but still need to save. After you've gotten your files together in one place, you can take a quick inventory of them.  While you are reviewing your files, take note of the general categories they might fit.  Write these categories down to create the basic organizational system that you will be using for your files.  Take a look at some of these common categories to get an idea of which ones you might want to use:  Legal records with subcategories such as birth certificates, death certificates or marriage documents. Financial documents that cover your past financial summaries, credit card information, credit reports or annual financial summaries. Property records. Personal documents such as diplomas, employment records, health records and insurance policies. Put documents that you've labeled as archival files into your long term storage container.  These files won't be accessed often, so make sure they are placed into their proper categories in the filing system for later retrieval.  Archival files will likely make up the majority of...

When you are wearing your boots, be sure to slip a small package of cornmeal or talcum in your bag. This could be a zip-lock bag or very small Tupperware container. In the event that any type of liquid is spilled on the boots, pat the area dry with a clean cloth, and immediately apply a layer of the meal or talcum powder. Allow the product to set overnight, and then use a suede brush to gently remove the dried powder. If you are going to be away from home, bring an extra pair of shoes and a clean cloth and keep them in a bag or the trunk of your vehicle. This way, if you spill something on your shoes, you will be able to clean the stain and not have to walk around with dirty boots. If you are unable to treat a stain right away and the stain has dried, use a suede brush to scrub away the stain but avoid using too much pressure. For stubborn stains, use a small amount of white vinegar and a clean cotton towel. Moisten the towel with the vinegar, and blot the stain without applying a lot of pressure to the area, to avoid spreading the mess. Repeat as necessary with clean sections of the towel until the stain is loosened and removed from the surface of the suede. Water can change the texture and even the color of the suede. If the boots are stained so deeply that talcum powder or cornmeal does not soak up the stain before it sets, take the boots to a professional cleaner. You can do this by taking them to a local dry cleaning service or shoe repair shop.

TL;DR in English:

Statements that include absolute qualifiers are rarely true, so choose false when you come across these types of statements. Absolute qualifiers include words like:  No Never None Every All Always Entirely Only If a statement features a qualifier that is not absolute and that seems more reasonable, then it is likely true. Less extreme qualifiers include:  Seldom Sometimes Frequently Most Many Usually Some Few Generally Ordinarily It does not matter if the entire statement is false or just 1 word or phrase in the statement is false. If any part of a statement is false, then choose false as your answer. For example, if a statement is mostly true except for 1 word, then it is false. Certain words can alter what a statement means, so it is important to watch out for these and consider how they affect the statement. A single word might render the statement true or false. Some words to pay attention to include:  So Therefore Because Consequently As a result Thus Not/cannot/can’t Won’t Don’t

TL;DR in English: Choose false if the statement includes absolute qualifiers. Select true for statements with less extreme qualifiers. Pick false if any part of the statement is false. Watch out for words that can change the meaning of the statement.

Ingo will try to keep you from getting inside position, but he won't be completely successful at it. When he gives up inside position, press 'A' for a burst of speed and speed past him on the inside track. He’ll turn red and scream about Ganondorf. Then, rather unfairly, he'll challenge you to a second race. If you win, you will get Epona. Ingo’s going to end up being a lot faster than last time, but there isn’t much you can do about it. Just give it your best and keep trying.  Once you get inside position, don't give it up. It'll take Ingo a lot of effort to pass you on the outside, so just remember to hold position and you should be fine.     Don't over-feed Epona with carrots right away. Although some people can beat Ingo without using very many carrots at all, it's best to use just a few. Don't use too many in the beginning or you won't have any left when you really need them — at the end of the race.    He says that you can keep the horse, but you can’t leave the ranch. He shuts the gate and laughs like an idiot. Seems like all is lost, right? Wrong! Know that Ingo's locked the gate to the inside of the Lon Lon corral, you have two choices.  The hard way: Run straight at Ingo and jump the gate. It will have to be perfect though or else all you will end up doing is running into him.     The easy way: On the left side of the ranch there is a wall. Heading from the entrance towards the wall, run at an angle. It doesn’t have to be perfect, Epona can jump over it either way.    Now you can enjoy all of the benefits that comes with having a horse. Mostly that includes being able to cross the world in about thirty seconds, rather than the three minutes it would take without her. Epona isn’t an essential part of the game. You really don’t “need” her for anything, but she is really a big help, so try to get her if you can.

TL;DR in English: Steer Epona onto the inside track of the loop. After winning the race, know that Ingo will freak out and challenge you once again. Using the same tips as before, race him again. Once you finally do end up beating Ingo, know that he will be insanely angry. Find a way to jump out of the fence. Land on the other side of the wall and enjoy the freedom and speed of Epona.

Although you will do your best to prevent your cat from getting spooked and running away during the moving process, she may still find a way to bolt. Proper identification will be very useful if someone finds her. Make sure that her ID tag has your mobile number on it, since your landline number will change after the move.  If your cat is not already microchipped, take her to the veterinarian to have that done. A microchip is a small device that is implanted just under the skin. If someone finds your cat, they can take her to a veterinarian’s office or animal shelter that can scan the microchip and identify you as her owner. Preparing ‘lost cat’ flyers is also useful. These flyers should contain a picture of your cat, your cat’s profile, the addresses of your veterinary clinic and local animal shelters, and your contact information. If your cat does run away, having the flyers already prepared will allow you to quickly start posting them in the area. Ensure that your cat is up to date on vaccinations and parasite control. Moving is a stressful process for your cat, so you will want to make sure that she is as healthy as possible. Your veterinarian can administer any necessary vaccinations and provide you with more parasite control.  While you are at the veterinarian's office, ask for a copy of your cat’s medical records. This is especially important if you will need to switch veterinary offices after you move. Having a copy of your cat’s medical records will make it easier for the new veterinarian to know your cat’s full medical history. Talk with your veterinarian about anti-anxiety medication. Depending on your cat’s temperament, she may need medication to reduce her anxiety during the move. Your veterinarian can discuss what medications are available and how you should administer them, if necessary. If you are traveling cross-country with your cat, you will probably need to spend the night at a hotel. Finding a hotel that accepts cats may be challenging, though, since not all pet-friendly hotels accept...

TL;DR in English: Check your cat’s ID tag. Take your cat to the veterinarian. Find a pet-friendly hotel. Get your cat comfortable with her carrier. Get your cat comfortable with the moving boxes. Keep your cat’s routine consistent.

Items that are dry-clean only can be spruced up using baking soda. While it won't actually clean the clothes, it will absorb musty smells and make your clothes smell fresh.  Cover the item with a light layer of baking soda, then place it in a sealed bag. You can use a flour sifter to evenly distribute the baking soda. If you'd rather not get baking soda on your clothes, pour baking soda into a clean sock. Tie off the open end of the sock. Place the sock in a bag with the baking soda and seal it. It may take awhile for the baking soda to completely absorb the musty smell. Place the bag and baking soda in a cool, dry place to sit overnight. Open the bag and shake off the baking soda. Use a soft brush to remove excess baking soda if necessary. Hang up the item of clothing in the sun. Let it stay outside and blow in the breeze for a few hours to finish airing out. Strong smells may require you to treat the clothing more than once. Repeat the process of sprinkling the item with baking soda, letting it sit, and airing out the clothing. If it still smells musty, you may need to have it professionally cleaned.

TL;DR in English: Sprinkle musty clothes with baking soda. Let the baking soda sit overnight. Air out the clothes outside. Repeat if necessary.

Although fashion changes the little details, the essential core of formal office attire has really not changed much in decades. Dressing business formal is in some ways easier than in business casual, because the parameters are a lot narrower and well-defined. Both genders are typically expected to wear suits, typically in neutral colors (as described above). In general, men and women wear the following:  For men: Formal suit, dress shirt, dress shoes, tie. Sometimes dressy slacks and sport coat are acceptable alternatives for a business suit. Often a shirt without an outer garment is acceptable. For women: business suit with skirt, blazer, blouse, dress shoes. Pants are also acceptable. A conservative dress may be substituted for a suit. Suits should be tailored for fit. Solid colors or pinstripes, and in good condition. Skirt suits should be knee-length and not too tight. Shirts should be typically solid or pinstriped, tailored for fit, laundered, and ironed if required.  Long sleeves are always more formal. Short sleeves are typically acceptable for spring and summer. However, some workplaces and cultures frown on bare arms. Women typically should steer away from sleeveless shirts if unsure if they are accepted or not. In some regions sleeveless shirts (but not one with straps, such as halter tops) are considered perfectly acceptable. In others, they are not considered appropriate. Tank tops, camisoles, tube tops, strapless tops amd  "spaghetti strap" tops are not office formal clothing. Men should match shirt to tie. Women have to be extra careful in the cut and fit of office tops. Put bluntly, (especially for full-figured women) the bustline must be fitted properly so that it is not too revealing, too tight, or otherwise exposing more of the breasts so it is inappropriate. If your blouse gaps at the buttons of the bustline, the shirt does not fit you properly. Fabric or "fashion" tapes can be purchased to hold blouses in the right position. Ties can allow for some color and pattern in an outfit that...

The first person at your workplace to find out about your plans to leave should be your boss, manager, or supervisor. This individual is in the best position to fill your position and will need to know you are leaving as soon as possible so that he can make other plans.   Also, this is presumably the person who hired you (or at least didn’t fire you) and signed your paychecks. Letting him know first is simply a common courtesy. Most jobs require you to give them two weeks notice before quitting your position, although some companies prefer that you give them thirty days notice. Check with your employer to see if a change of status, such as a significant pay raise, increased benefits, bonuses, or other perks are in your future at your present job. Quitting before these events occur may effectively cost you money. However, your boss may be so desperate to keep you that he will offer these perks to you immediately when you inform him you are quitting. Don’t change your plans for empty promises. If your current employer has offered promises of a raise or a bonus before, but failed to follow through on them, then there is no reason to think this situation will be different. Any and all offers made by your present employer in an attempt to keep you on should be put into writing. This will help you hold him to it. Your boss may express any one of a number of emotions when you tell him you are leaving. Some bosses take employees quitting personally and become visibly angry when it happens. It is important that you stand your ground and commit to quitting while still showing the proper level of respect and courtesy, even if your boss gets mad. Remember, your boss is still your boss, at least for the next few weeks. Don’t take your quitting as an opportunity to turn the tables on him and chew him out, belittle him, call him an idiot, etc. None of these things are “graceful” and you will be burning a bridge with someone from whom you might still need a letter of recommendation or reference. Communicate your plans with...

TL;DR in English: Tell your boss. Leverage your job offer. Be nice, but firm. Inform your co-workers. Tell H.R.

Your friend may set some boundaries with you and let you know what she will and will not accept in a friendship. She may also have some ideas about how you can begin retraining her trust. You can say something like, "I know it's hard for you to trust me right now. Is there anything I can do to show you I really mean it? Is there something I can do to begin earning your trust back?" She may have some specific steps you need to take in order to feel you can be trusted again, depending on what happened. For instance, if you friend found out you were talking about her behind her back, she may want you to go speak with those people and tell them what you said was untrue, and that you were wrong to say those things to them.

The room temperature should be around 20°C. Wait for 2 - 3 days. If the hamster is merely hibernating it should wake within that period.   If it doesn't wake up, then more obvious signs of death should occur such as an unpleasant odor and rigor mortis. A hibernating hamster should not smell unpleasant. Experts advocate this as the preferred option of waking a hamster because it closer simulates the natural waking process and places less strain on the body's blood glucose reserves than a "rapid reboot." Make sure plenty of food and water is available for the waking hamster. Instead of warming up your hamster slowly in a warm room, you can warm it more rapidly. Put the hamster, in its cage, in a warm place such as an airing cupboard. Depending on the temperature, the hamster may wake within 2 - 3 hours.  Remember to keep the hamster in a secure container, because if it is just in a cardboard box it may wake and chew its way out! Another idea is to stand the cage on a hot water bottle to radiate heat up through the floor of the cage. Ensure the hamster has food and water, because it will use up valuable energy reserves to wake up, and these need to be rapidly replaced or the hamster could suffer liver damage. If your hamster was hibernating, be aware this is a natural process, from which it recovered. Unless you are concerned, if the hamster is back to hits usual self - eating, grooming, and running in its wheel -  there is no specific need to get it checked by a veterinarian. If none of your attempts help to wake the hamster up, it has probably passed away. Remember that hamsters generally have very short lives and their time might unfortunately be up. Eliminate all other possibilities first, but then you may need to accept that your hamster has died. So that you don't have to suffer this anxiety and worry again, make sure the hamster is always in a room above 20°C, that he has 12 hours + light a day, and plenty of food and water. That way his body never thinks he has to conserve energy and hibernate.

TL;DR in English: Put a hamster that you suspect is hibernating in a warm room. Warm the hamster up, relatively rapidly. Remember that hibernation is a natural process. Remember that hamsters have relatively short lives. Prevent the hamster from hibernating in the future.

This step is optional, but may help. Before you clean the paintbrush with water, first wrap a paper towel or rag around the bristles of the brush and gently press to remove excess paint. Wiping away the excess paint will make the washing process easier and faster. Don't wait in between painting and cleaning. It's important to clean your brush directly after you are done using it. Brush the bristles of the paintbrush over the paper towel or rag until the brush stops making marks. Doing this helps to remove paint before washing the brushes. Lower your brush into a cup of water and swirl the bristles of the brush around the bottom for a few seconds. Don't submerge the brush for a long period of time; just swish the brush around to dislodge any more excess paint.  If you used a cup of water to rinse brushes between colors, you can use this water or clean water. You will wash your brush with soap and water after this initial wash so it's ok if the water is cloudy. After you have wiped away the paint and submerged the brush, your brush will be cleaner. However, doing this much isn't enough to completely clean the brush. You need to use soap and water to clean the brush and keep the bristles soft and flexible.

TL;DR in English: Wipe away paint with a paper towel or rag. Glide the paintbrush over the paper towel or rag. Swish the brush in a cup of water.

It is important to keep test materials secure before a test. This includes making sure that all copies and the original are accounted for after copying. Some students may try to access test questions before a test, even if that means they have to break into your classroom or office to get them.  To prevent this, never leave your keys hanging in the door and don't give them to a trusted student for any reason. Also, do not assume that tests and answer guides left at school will be safe. If you are going to leave such test materials at school, be sure to lock them in a file cabinet and keep the key with you at all times. Be sure to change your test content from year to year. This will stop siblings and friends in different grades from passing on last year's answers. Tell the students that there will be several versions given out and then give the different versions to alternating students. This will prevent students from assuming that they can cheat off their neighbor's test.  Be sure that you keep track of what test version each student has. This can be done by numbering the version and having the students write the number they have on their tests. Do not distinguish different versions in a way that can be seen from a distance, for example, by color. Otherwise, students can look around for other students with the same version. One way to prevent cheating is to allow students to bring information with them into class on the day of a test. This forces them to study the material before the test and to figure out what they need to bring. The students don't necessarily need to memorize all the information they will be tested on, but they will need to know the content overall.  Eventually your students will learn that having the material at the their fingertips is of no use unless they have already spent time studying the material. If you don't want to have an open book or open note test, but you want your students to focus their studying, consider giving them the test questions before the test. You can give them a...

TL;DR in English: Don't allow access to test materials. Create several versions of your test. Give open book or open note tests. Give access to test questions before the test if it's closed-book. Require students to show a student ID to take a test. Allow students to use only items that you provide. Have students take all items off their desks. Request that students walk up to your desk to ask questions. Be cautious about students leaving the room. Keep track of where students are sitting. Move students you suspect are cheating. Limit a student's ability to change their answers.

Choose a matte, powder blush that is the same color as your lipstick. After you have applied your lipstick and lip liner, sweep your finger across the blush and press it against your lips. Keep applying the blush this way until it is completely covering your lips, and your lipstick is matte.  Do not use shimmery blush. This will not work for all lipstick colors since you may not be able to find blush in every color. Try it with peach, pink, and bronze colors, as they’re easiest to find. If you cannot find blush in the right color, you can try using matte eye shadow in a matching color instead.

TL;DR in English: Dab powder blush over your lipstick to make it look matte.

In order to feel good about yourself and your life, it is important to remember that you and your life are works in progress. As long as you progress or strive to, then you are doing right by yourself and your life. The more you keep yourself motivated in your progress, the more you will convince yourself that you deserve to feel good. Remind yourself of the mantra “progress not perfection” several times a day if you find it helpful. Write in your journal the traits and attributes that you think are valuable. Make an extra effort every day to try and be the type of value you want to see in yourself and in your life. By knowing exactly who you want to become and the value of progress over perfection, you can build worth and satisfaction in actualizing those goals. Take a step back from difficult relationships and determine if they are helping or hurting your ability to to feel good. To build your self-worth, you need to surround yourself with people who believe in you, make you feel worth it, and lift you up.

You may have to have some discussions with people about how they treat you and how that makes you feel. It is up to you to decide who you want around you, and building a solid support system full of positive, supportive people is a great way to build self-worth and feel good about your life. Give yourself a pat on the back and recognize all of the healthy qualities you possess. If your goal for that day was to smile at two strangers and you did, praise yourself for spreading positivity. You never know who needed that smile on that day. Build yourself up in a realistic, flexible way by making sure you are acknowledging the value you are putting into the world.
