Maybe you feel uncomfortable talking out loud to God, find it difficult to concentrate when talking to God in your mind, or maybe neither of the two work for you at all. If that’s the case, try writing to God. This form of communicating will still enable you to express your thoughts for a connection and create your side of a conversation with God. Choose something that will feel comfortable to write in every day.  A spiral notebook or journal would be an ideal choice since it will easily lay flat on a desk.  Select your preferred writing tool. You’ll want to write to God by hand instead of typing on a computer.  Computers have endless distractions, and for some the act of typing requires more conscious effort than scribbling in a notebook. Even though you won’t be speaking aloud, it’s still best to find a quiet spot for maximum concentration. Before you get started set a timer for a length of time that feels comfortable to write for.  You may set it for five, ten or twenty minutes.  Keep your pen or pencil moving until the timer goes off. Try not to be self-conscious about what you write.  Don’t worry about grammar and punctuation, or about what you’re actually writing.  In writing to God, you want your words to come from the heart.  In order to do that you’ll need to relax enough that you can write freely about whatever comes to mind. If you’re not sure what to write about, consider writing about a current concern that you can’t stop thinking about.  Write about what’s happening in your day to day life.  Write down any questions you want God to answer for you.  Or write about your goals or what you’re thankful for.  Use the examples below for inspiration.  “Dear God, I have no idea what I’m doing in my life right now.  I can’t seem to make good choices or meet the right people.  I feel like I’m drowning in drama.  When will this end?  When will things change for me?” “I can’t even contain my excitement right now, God.  Today I met a woman who works at my dream job.  Our meeting was completely serendipitous. ...

TL;DR in English: Write to God as a form of communication. Purchase or find a blank writing notebook and pen. Find a quiet and private space to write. Write for a specific amount of time. Write fast and freely. Write to God as if you’re writing a letter to a friend, or as if you’re writing in a private journal.

When you’ve found a pawn shop with the right terms for your needs, don’t be afraid to negotiate for the best deal. The pawn shop staff can always decline your offer or offer a counter, so you have nothing to lose by trying.  When you negotiate, allow the shop to make the first offer. You can negotiate the value of the jewelry, the interest rate of the loan, and the time it will take you to pay it back.  Be prepared to walk away if the shop staff isn't willing to give you the terms that you want. Don’t trust a pawn shop that doesn’t offer some sort of contract or agreement that documents the loan. Make sure the terms of the loan, the interest rate, and the timing of loan payback are clearly outlined. Be sure there is also a description of the jewelry included. Take photos of your jewelry laying next to the contract at the pawn shop in case there are any future disputes about the terms or the jewelry pawned. It’s really important to pay back the loan on time so that you can recover your jewelry safely. Pawn shops can’t resell everything that gets pawned so they will often melt down jewelry into pure metals and sell it at a market price. They can do this as soon as the jewelry is officially theirs. Therefore, your best chance of recovering your jewelry is by repaying the loan by the date and time listed on the contract.

TL;DR in English: Negotiate at the pawn shop. Sign a contract. Pay back the loan on time.

A bucket list has become a popular way to put on paper all the exciting, challenging, or fun things that you hope to do before you die (or "kick the bucket," hence the name). Creating such a list, and then actually doing the things on your list, can add variety to your life.  Your list should contain at least a hundred things, so get to writing! Also don't be afraid to add new things to the bottom of the list as you think of them over the next few weeks, months, and years. Be sure to list both big and small things-- not just expensive or dangerous things like visiting Russia or skydiving, but also those littler things you always wanted to try but just haven't yet-- like trying that little restaurant downtown, singing in the rain, or getting a facial or pedicure. Remember to set some goals that will be hard, and others that are easily attainable; otherwise you might get discouraged. Be sure your list includes things that are free or cheap as well as things that cost money. If you're at a loss, search the internet for ideas-- there are thousands of things you could include! Include places to visit, things to see, experiences to have, achievements you like to make, people you'd like to meet, things you'd like to experience with a friend or loved one, skills you'd like to learn, goals you'd like to meet (such as health, financial, or personal), things you'd like to say (perhaps to specific people) and people you'd like to thank. First create categories that make sense for the things on your list, then put everything on the list into a group.  Make categories for expensive things, relatively affordable things, affordable things, and cheap or free things (depending on your budget, these will vary; but one idea is a column for things that are $1000 or more, things that are $500-$1000, things that are $100-$500, and things that are less than $100). Make categories for things that can be done spontaneously (like trying a new restaurant in town) versus things that require advance planning (like a trip to Greece). If...

TL;DR in English: Make a bucket list. Categorize the list. Try to do one thing on your list every month.

Iron is important to your body. It helps make red blood cells. Those blood cells move oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. If you're cutting meat (a good source of iron), you'll need to add other foods with iron to your diet.  Some good sources of iron are broccoli, legumes (lentils, chickpeas, and baked beans), fortified cereals, enriched pasta, soybeans, tofu, dried fruit, and pumpkin seeds. Greens are also iron-rich, such as kale. If you eat these foods with foods high in vitamin C, your body will take in the iron more easily. Foods high in vitamin C include things like oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, tomatoes, broccoli, and strawberries. For instance, a good mixture to increase your iron would be a broccoli and chickpea salad with a squeeze of lemon juice. Some people may still need an iron supplement, especially girls who are having their periods. You may have heard calcium is good for strong bones. That's important when you're growing. You also may have heard that dairy is a great source of calcium. Many vegetarians still eat dairy, and if you are going to, that's one place you can get the calcium you need.  You can also get calcium by eating your greens (like kale). Figs are also a good source. Fortified soymilk, tofu, and fortified orange juice have calcium as well. A good meal for getting in some calcium might include sauteed kale tossed with some tofu or feta cheese, if you eat dairy. Vitamin D helps your body take in the calcium. That means your body can better use it for your bones. Most milk is fortified with this vitamin, and it is often included in fortified soy milk, too.  Interestingly, though, this is one area where you're like a plant. You can absorb vitamin D from being in the sun. You don't want to be out so long that you get burned, but just playing outside can be enough for you to get your vitamin D.  If you go outdoors to get your vitamin D, only stay in the sun for about 10 minutes. When spending more time in the sun, you need a sunscreen. Talk to your doctor to see if...

TL;DR in English: Eat your iron. Get your calcium. Eat your vitamin D, or take in some sun. Find sources of vitamin B12. Find sources of zinc.

Components like lights, windshield wipers, radios, etc. draw power from the battery to run.  If you want your battery to charge effectively, they will need to be turned off. . In order to jumpstart your vehicle you will need another vehicle that has a good battery to give you a boost. Usually parking the cars facing each other will get the batteries closes, but sometimes it's better to park them side by side.  Either way, be sure that the cars are not touching. You will need these to connect the dead battery to the good battery. Current will flow between them, allowing your engine to start and charge your dead battery.  If you have a choice, longer cables can be easier to connect but transfer energy less effectively than short cables.  Also, a lower gauge cable (thicker) will transfer energy faster. The batteries will be located in a different place depending on the make and model of the vehicles. Most batteries will be found either under the hood and or in the trunk of your vehicle.  Sometimes the battery is not easily accessible.  If this is the case you most likely have a charging post under the hood that is connected to the battery.

It's better to layer short hair when it's evenly damp, so that you can cut the hair with greater precision. Wash and condition your hair as usual, then towel it dry in preparation for the haircut.  Layering short hair is more difficult to do by yourself than layering long hair, since you're creating each layer individually. Keep in mind that this method will only work for pixie style cuts. Take a look at your hair and decide exactly where you want the layers to be and how short you want them before you begin. Plan to cut your hair in a well-lit bathroom with at least two mirrors, so you can check your progress often and see the back of your head as well. Short hair must be divided into sections before layering. Use a comb to carefully divide your hair in the following way:  Make a "top box" section by creating a part on either side of the crown of the head where the head begins to round. The two parts create a section of hair in the middle of the head. Comb this "top box" forward and comb the hair to either side straight down, so that the sections are clearly delineated. It may also help to twist your hair before clipping it. Divide the rest into two parts: the first part extends from the crown of your head to your forehead, and the second part extends from the crown of your head to the nape of your neck. Lift the hair at a ninety-degree angle from your head and hold it straight between your forefinger and middle finger. Your fingers should be perpendicular to your forehead. Use a sharp scissors to trim the tips of the hair extending from between your fingers. Let the hair fall, then use the comb to lift another section of hair in the section of hair that is immediately behind the front section. Then comb a bit of the hair from the first section into this new section. This will serve as a guide for the correct length. Hold it at a 90-degree angle from your head between your forefinger and middle finger, then trim the tips to the exact same length as the first section of hair you trimmed.  Continue trimming...

TL;DR in English: Get your hair ready for layering. Comb your hair into sections. Use a comb to lift the frontmost section of the top box. Trim the top box. Part your hair down the middle. Trim the sides of your hair. Examine your layers.

Some homes will have multiple breaker boxes in different places. Find both the main circuit breaker box and the one you need to replace a circuit breaker in. If you’re unsure about the circuit breaker boxes in your home, call an electrician. Before you begin working on any breaker boxes, you should make sure they are still in a safe condition. Any damage or contamination to the box may make it unsafe to work on.  Look for any signs of rust, discoloration, charring or moisture when you first examine the circuit breaker box and throughout the process. If you see anything that seems dangerous or unexpected, call an electrician. Beware of certain types of panels, specifically those bearing one of the following names: Federal Pacific Electric, Federal Pioneer, Zinsco, Kearney, GTE Sylvania, or Stab-lok. The safety of these panels is highly debated. Research the issue and contact an experienced electrician for advice. Decide what to do based on the information you find. Electricity can be incredibly dangerous to work around, so take all precautions when trying to reduce the chance of an electrical shock. Use rubber insulated tools, and wear rubber-soled shoes and insulated gloves when working with electricity. If you don’t have rubber-soled shoes or if you want to take further precautions, put down a rubber mat below the circuit breaker box. If the area around the breaker box is damp or otherwise unsafe, call an electrician. You should only replace a circuit breaker that has broken or been damaged in some way. If a circuit breaker is damaged, it will likely have tripped, cutting power to the section of the home it controls. Look through your breaker box for the circuit breaker which stands out from the others. Generally, a tripped circuit breaker switch will be halfway between the on and off positions. Before you replace a circuit breaker, make sure the breaker itself is faulty and not just overloaded. Unplug and switch off all light and electrical devices in the section of your home controlled by the circuit...

TL;DR in English: Find the circuit breaker box. Inspect the exterior of the breaker panel for damage or discoloration. Use rubber-insulated tools, gloves, and shoes. Locate the defective breaker. Test the faulty breaker. Test the voltage of the circuit breaker.

If you think your child has scoliosis, either due to a positive screening at school or because somebody noticed that your child's back / body looks lopsided, then make an appointment with your family doctor or a medical specialist, such as an orthopedist. Scoliosis can progress very quickly in teenagers, so the sooner you seek medical advice the better. Doctors cannot prevent scoliosis completely, but they can properly assess it and provide you with options to combat its progression.  The doctor will likely take an x-ray and measure the angle of your child's scoliotic curve. Scoliosis is not considered very significant until the curve is greater than 25 – 30 degrees.  Scoliosis affects females more than males and it runs in families, so it can be hereditary in some cases. A common option for teenagers with progressive cases of scoliosis is wearing a back brace. Bracing can't prevent scoliosis, but it can help keep it from getting worse in some cases. Depending on how serious the scoliosis is and where the unnatural curves are, braces can be made of rigid plastic or stretchy elastic with metal inserts. They typically cover most of the torso and can be worn underneath clothing. Brace treatment is generally used when: a curve is greater than or equal to 25 degrees and appears to be progressing quickly, or the curve is discovered at a young age when the spine is still growing and is already over 30 degrees.  Most braces are worn at least 16 hours a day for many months or even a few years — until the spine stops growing. Several studies conclude that back bracing for scoliosis can keep spinal curves from getting large enough to require surgery.  In general, about 1/4 of children / teens with scoliosis may benefit from back bracing. Spinal surgery should be considered the last resort for scoliosis, but in some cases it is necessary to stop the deformity from progressing and causing health problems (from crowded organs) and long-term chronic pain and disability. Scoliosis surgery involves fusing together two or more...

TL;DR in English: Consult with your doctor. Ask your doctor about spinal bracing. Talk to your doctor about spinal surgery.

Annuals typically thrive in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.3 and 6.7. Add 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) of peat moss, compost or manure to the garden soil to build up organic matter and create a healthy environment for the seeds to grow. Consider adding a seed-starting mix to the soil. Seed-starting mixes can be found at most garden centers. These nutrient-rich mixes can encourage seed growth. Consult the seed packet to determine how much light the annual plant will need. Many annuals need full sun, which is considered 6 or more hours of sunlight each day. Others, such as begonias or impatiens, thrive in the shade. Choose a location best suited for the sunlight requirements of your annual seeds. Consult the seed packet to determine the recommended depth and spacing for planting your annual seeds. In general, plant an annual seed at a depth that is 2 or 3 times the seed's diameter.  Plant small seeds near the top of the soil. To plant very small seeds, pour the seeds into the palm of your hand, take a pinch of the seeds with the thumb and forefinger of your opposite hand, and sprinkle the seeds over the soil. Using your hand, tap the seeds lightly into the soil so they are lightly covered with soil. Plant larger seeds further into the soil. Use a screwdriver or pencil to poke a hole into the soil at the depth recommended on the seed packet. Place the seed into the hole and fill the hole with soil. Tap the soil lightly with your hand. Keep the water around the seed moist, but don't over-water or create puddles of standing water around the seeds. Fertilize the seeds immediately after planting. In most cases, annuals planted in the ground will not need additional fertilizer after the initial application. As seedlings begin to emerge, thin the plants so they are not growing right on top of each other. Consult the seed packet to determine the ideal spacing between mature plants.

Buy a case and screen protector. Designate a safe place to keep and store your phone when not in use. Keep your phone dry. Clean your phone regularly. Recharge your cell phone on a regular schedule. Turn off the ringer on your phone when you're in a class, a lecture, a meeting, etc.

If you have access to an adult Angel Trumpet plant, harvest 1 of its seed pods after the pod turns brown or yellow. Then, carefully peel off the pod’s skin using your fingers, exposing lots of small seeds. If you don’t have access to an adult plant, purchase a pack of Angel Trumpet seeds from a gardening supply store. When you’re ready to plant your seeds, fill a small bowl with warm water and place the seeds inside. Let the seeds soak for about 24 hours, then dry them off with a clean towel. Soaking your seeds will remove the thin layer of pulp surrounding them. If you leave this layer on, they may not germinate properly. Grab a small paper towel sheet and dampen it with warm water. Then, spread your seeds out evenly on the paper towel and fold the sheet up into a tight package. Try to use sheets that are about 4 in (10 cm) long. If you have a lot of seeds, you may need to use multiple sheets. Grab your moistened paper towel package and slip it into a resealable plastic bag. Then, seal the bag. You do not need to press out any excess air before closing the bag. If you have multiple paper towel packages, make sure you use a different plastic bag for each of them. To make sure your seeds germinate properly, place them in an area that has a constant temperature between 60 and 70 °F (16 and 21 °C). Remove your seeds from the bag once they develop small, white stem strands, an indication that they’ve successfully germinated.  In most cases, your seeds should take between 3 and 4 weeks to fully germinate. You can remove your seeds as soon as you see their stem strands. You don’t have to wait for them to grow to a specific length. When left unchecked, your germinating seeds can develop mold or become fungal. To prevent this, replace the damp paper towel once every other day.

TL;DR in English: Acquire Angel Trumpet seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Wrap the seeds in a moist paper towel. Seal the seeds in a plastic bag. Store your seeds in a warm place until they germinate. Replace the paper towel every other day.

A lot of dates are arranged via text, DM, social media, and in other similar ways. When deciding how to ask a girl out, pick whichever method feels most natural to your normal way of communicating. Keep in mind that you’ll want to be really clear via text so that your intentions aren’t misunderstood. Rather than being vague and asking her to just “hang out” or what she’s up to that weekend, pick something fun that you think you’d both enjoy. This gives her something to respond to, and you won’t be left wondering what to do if she says yes. Here are some great first date ideas:  Go to an arcade or to play mini-golf Go to a coffee shop and a used bookstore Plan a movie marathon Go to an admission-free art exhibit or festival Volunteer at the local animal shelter to walk and play with the animals Make homemade pizza and do a puzzle together Send her a message that says something simple like, “Hey Kate, I think you’re really cute. Want to go play arcade games and get something to eat this Friday?” Telling her you think she’s attractive clues her in that this is a romantic message and not just a friendly one.  Remember to ask about a specific activity. For example, “Would you like to go out on a date with me next Saturday? I thought we could get dinner and go see a movie,” sounds much more romantic than, “Want to hang out sometime next weekend?” The latter could be misinterpreted. Text isn’t the only option—you could use DMs in different social media apps or send a cool video through Instagram or Snapchat. If you get rejected, don’t wait too long to reply. You could say something like, “That’s okay! I just wanted to ask. I still think you’re cool and will see you in class.” It’s not fun to get rejected, but it is a normal experience and doesn’t mean anything bad about you as a person. It’s just not the right fit right now. If you do get rejected, reassure yourself that at least now you know. You won’t be left wondering what could have happened, and you have more practice under your belt for the next time you...

TL;DR in English: Use text or social media if that’s how you normally communicate. Pick an activity to ask her to do before you send your message. Keep the text short, sweet, and specific. Accept her answer and respond quickly even if she turns you down. Make plans for your first date if she says yes.

Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed, such as your bedroom. Turn off any electronic devices that may distract you, such as the television, phone, or computer. Turning off the lights and shutting your blinds will also help. Candles are a great way to focus your attention during meditation. If you have created an angel altar, then you can light the candle on your altar. If you do not have an angel altar, then you can just light a candle and place it on a table in front of you.  If you do not want to light a candle, then you can also use a rosary to help focus your attention or listen to some repetitive nature sounds, such as ocean waves or rain sounds. Meditation requires you to be still for a long time, so make sure that you are comfortable. For example, you may want to sit on a cushion. You can even lie down to meditate, as long as you're sure you won't fall asleep. Close your eyes or watch your candle. Try not to think of anything, not even your guardian angel for a few minutes. Focus on keeping your breath steady and slow. If you notice that you have started thinking about something, then take a moment to acknowledge the thought and then refocus on your breathing. In your mind, say "hello" to your angel. Thank your angel for watching over you. Then, let your angel know about any problems that are bothering you and ask your angel for guidance. If you have learned or prepared a prayer, then take a moment to recite the prayer. You can do this in your head or say the prayer out loud. Any sign that your angel is there will most likely be subtle. For example, you may hear a faint noise, see a fleeting image in your mind's eye, notice a sensation of warmth, or get the feeling that someone is in the empty room with you. Some people believe that angels cannot interfere in our lives without being directly asked to. If you're not sure your angel is there, try asking your angel to let you know someone is there. When you have finished speaking with your angel, say goodbye. You may want to end your meditation...

TL;DR in English: Prepare your space. Light a candle. Sit in a position that is comfortable. Breathe deeply and clear your mind. Greet your angel. Listen for your angel's reply. Emerge from your meditation slowly. Practice your meditation.

If your cat obsessively grooms, she will groom to the point of damaging her coat. Her barbed tongue breaks the hair shafts, causing her to swallow healthy hair that has been barbered and broken off in addition to the loose fur. Check your cat for bald patches. Typically affected areas include the tummy, the back of the hind legs, and the flanks. You should not be able to see the skin, so if these areas lack fur and you can see the skin, the cat is likely to be obsessive-compulsive about grooming. One of the reasons your cat may obsessively groom is due to fleas. This is because some cats are over sensitive to flea bites and have an allergic reaction to the presence of flea saliva. This creates an intense itch sensation on the skin, which triggers the grooming behavior. If you find fleas, apply an appropriate flea treatment (such as Frontline) as directed. These treatments often last for a month or more. You should apply to all pets in the house that can harbor fleas to prevent the resurgence of fleas after the treatment application. Some cats obsessively groom due to simple boredom. Try engaging your cat with more playtime than usual and some new toys. Anytime you notice your cat grooming for excessive periods of time, distract her from the behavior with playtime. Just like humans, cats can have allergies that lead to itchiness and therefore excessive grooming. Allergies can range from pollen allergies to food allergies. If your cat obsessively licks her back or abdomen, allergies have a higher chance of being the culprit. See your veterinarian and discuss the symptoms. Your veterinarian may place your cat on a monitored hypoallergenic diet to test for a food allergy. Follow your vet’s instructions to ensure that your cat maintains a well-balanced diet. Some cats over groom because of stress. Anything from stray cats in the yard to moving to the arrival of a new pet or baby can cause stress in your cat. Give your cat time to adjust, and try using a synthetic feline pheromones (such as Feliway), which can have...

These will take care of your phone by preventing it from being subject to knocks and scratches. This helps to keep the phone's appearance longer and may also protect it from some internal damage should you accidentally knock or drop the phone. It should be somewhere that is out of the way and where the phone is not likely to be knocked onto the floor or trodden on. For example, good places include keeping it on a desk, bookshelf, or in a cabinet. It's a good idea to choose one spot where it always goes (near a recharger) so that you can find it with ease, any time.  Do not keep your phone stored in a purse or other closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off. Charging a mobile phone in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Li-ion batteries (typical for most phones) give off heat when charged and when discharging. Always use genuine chargers and accessories. Cheaper ones that are not compatible or made for going with your brand of phone can harm the phone or lessen its lifespan. Don't talk on your cell phone while it's raining, do not eat or drink near the phone, and avoid carrying it near open water (such as a pond, the beach, or toilets). If you do get your phone wet, see How to save a wet cell phone. Use dry tissue paper or alcohol wipes to clean the phone's exterior surfaces. Do not use water, baby wipes, or other cleaners that may inadvertently add moisture to your phone. Some phones will last more than a week or more on a single charge (when not in use), while others may need to be charged every day or every other day. If you spend too much time talking on your phone, you can quickly use up your battery's charge. Keep your battery percentage between 40%-80% for longer battery life. Even in relatively everyday activities such as watching a movie in a movie theater, or attending church, it is polite to keep your ringer on vibrate or turned off. The last thing you want to do is frantically try to turn off your ringer in these scenarios. Doing...

Salicylic acid shampoos can help your scalp psoriasis by helping to remove the excess skin and scales of scalp psoriasis. The salicylic acid shampoo may cause the skin on your scalp to swell, then soften and peel off. There are certain situations where you should not use salicylic acid shampoos. These are situations where salicylic acid may cause you harm. Talk to your doctor before using salicylic acid if:  You are pregnant, nursing, or may become pregnant You are taking any other medications for psoriasis You are taking any herbs, supplements, non-prescription medicines, unless you have been cleared by a doctor You have any open sores or cuts on your scalp You are allergic to any of the ingredients You have any kidney or liver issues, diabetes, a skin irritation, skin infection, or poor blood circulation You have a history of Reye syndrome If you are under the age of 18 If you are on ammonium sulfate, heparin/warfarin, steroids, methotrexate, aspirin, or sulfonylureas There are two different types of salicylic acid shampoos you can use. The first is over the counter shampoo. To use this, apply the shampoo to a dry scalp. Starting with five minutes, let the shampoo sit on your hair and scalp. Then rinse your hair thoroughly and wash your hair with non-medicated shampoo and conditioner.  You can increase the leave in time for this shampoo up to one hour at a time. Just gradually increase the time in small increments. There are some other over the counter products that have lower amounts of salicylic acid as well as lactic acid, urea, or phenol that you can also try if the straight salicylic shampoo is too much for your mild psoriasis. Follow the instructions on the back of the bottle to know how often to use this shampoo. It will depend on the strength of the concentration of the salicylic acid in your shampoo. Once you have washed your hair with over the counter salicylic shampoo, you can use any additional non-medicated shampoo on your hair. This will help reduce any residual flaking on your scalp and help...

If your cake is stuck in the pan, slide a sharp knife between the pan and the edge of the cake all the way around. Use your hands to whack the sides and bottom of the pan a bit to help release the cake, then leave it to cool for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, try to turn out the cake again. If it still comes out a mess, see the suggestions above for turning it into trifle, cake balls, or another broken-cake recipe. with a sharp knife. Sometimes, your cake may rise unevenly. If that's happened to you and you want an even top, just use a sharp bread knife to cut off the uneven part. You now have an even and smooth top for frosting. Warm cake layers are more likely to crumble or tear. If you're trying to cut layers in half, leave them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to cool down, then try again.

TL;DR in English: Release a cake from the pan with a knife. Level an uneven cake Refrigerate cake layers if they tear when you try to cut them. Finished.

There is a clear difference between being aggressive in a negative and being assertive. Often, people who are aggressive end up being bullies. Being a bully means you act self-righteous or superior and have no regard for the needs, feelings, and opinions of others. Bullying others will only lead to conflict and negativity in your life, not respect. You should try to keep your aggression in check so it does not turn into bullying. Though you may feel a momentary sense of power as a bully, it will ultimately only lead to resentment and anger from others. This resentment could then cause people to avoid you or oppose you. You can also channel aggression into developing healthy habits like positive communication, becoming assertive instead. Positive communication means you practice active listening and always consider the thoughts and opinions of others. You should also try to take your ego out of any discussion or conversation and focus instead on how you can support those around you. Practicing active listening means not interrupting others when they are speaking and maintaining eye contact with the speaker. Once the speaker is done, you should repeat back what she said in your own words to show you were listening and paying attention. Then, you can respond to the speaker in a positive and open way. Displaying empathy for others means putting your ego aside and focusing on how others are feeling or what they are experiencing. Doing this will show that you can be assertive and strong willed without walking on the needs of others. Showing empathy for others is often a sign of confidence and maturity. For example, you may have an employee who is struggling with an illness in the family. You may then show empathy for the employee by approving his request for time off and checking in with the employee on a consistent basis to make sure he has everything he needs. Showing the employee compassion and empathy will show that you can be a considerate boss. Another way you can channel aggression into something productive...

TL;DR in English: Do not bully others. Use positive communication. Display empathy for others. Mediate conflicts.

Before taking your rabbit to a veterinarian, try to assess for yourself why the rabbit may be sneezing. Monitoring symptoms can help you better aid the vet in determining what's wrong.  Your rabbit could have an upper respiratory infection, which may manifest with runny nose, runny eyes, and sneezing. It could also be a lower respiratory infection, which would include symptoms like loud breathing. Rabbits with lower respiratory infections may also that stick their noses up when breathing. Foreign object such as a hair or a bit of food trapped in a nasal passage. In this case, there would be few symptoms beyond sneezing. A dental problem, such as an infection that has spread to the nose, can cause sneezing. This would cause other cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, and is most likely in older rabbits.  Again, a veterinarian should make a formal assessment, but you can come prepared with your opinion and information regarding symptoms to help. Not all vets will see rabbits. Those who say they will may not always have enough background with rabbits to correctly evaluate your pet. Ask rabbit owners for vet referrals and search online for rabbit-savvy vets in your area. Always read reviews before making an appointment. Take the rabbit to the vet in a carrier or a well-ventilated box, and provide water in the pet carrier for your rabbit in case they need to drink. Many carriers now come with food and water dishes built in. Your pet's safety is the main thing when choosing a carrier, so find the right one for your needs before bringing your sick rabbit to the vet. Choose from crates, slings, and more. You can talk to a pet store owner or ask the vet over the phone what kind of carrier you should purchase if you don't already have one. The vet may have to do different tests, along with a physical exam, to determine the cause of the problem. Your appointment length will depend on what tests the vet feels the need to conduct.  Some vets ask that you bring in a stool sample for testing. This sample should be less...

TL;DR in English: Observe your rabbit. Find a veterinarian who has experience with rabbits. Bring the rabbit to a veterinarian. Allow the veterinarian to assess the problem.

While any type of rice will work, the most frequently used are white rice or long-grain brown rice. Whatever you have in the house is fine! Measure out ½ cup of rice and rinse it to remove any dust or impurities. Set the bowl aside on the counter and wait! Let your rice soak until the water takes on a milky, semi-opaque appearance. That milky appearance indicates that some of the rice's inositol has been released into the water. Inositol is a carbohydrate that gives rice water its milky appearance. When used on your hair, some research suggests that inositol helps protect your locks and add shine. Use a spoon or fork to break up any clumps of rice. Once the water has a cloudy or milky look to it, it should be good to go. Double check to make sure that the water does not have any lingering rice in it. Another way to do this is to boil the rice/water mixture. Just follow the same steps as soaking, but use slightly more water and strain out the rice once the water starts to boil. Allow it to cool to room temperature before using. It is now ready to use!

TL;DR in English:


Block out light. Dampen sounds. Exercise early. Limit caffeine and alcohol. Eat an early and light evening meal. Avoid napping.

Spend a good amount of time nailing down what your game is before you touch a line of code. What genre is it? Is it 2D or 3D? Does the player progress in the game by solving puzzles, following/creating the story, fighting enemies, and/or exploring? The more questions you answer and the more detail you give your ideas, the more time you'll save in the long run. If you decide to make a major change after you've already started coding, the change can take many times longer to implement. Pare this down to something way, way simpler than your original idea. A small prototype that explores how your game works and gives a couple levels to play is an excellent start. Once it’s finished, you can use it as a foundation to expand into a full game, or incorporate what you learned into a new project. At this point, there are weeks or months of hard but rewarding work ahead of you. While a team of people will generally divide up the tasks below and work on them simultaneously, an individual will have to decide which task is easiest to start with or most important at each stage. Read through all the steps below and start on the task that appeals to you most. Unless you're making at text-base game, you'll need 2D images, and possibly 3D models and textures (patterns you apply to the models). Music and sound effects you can delay until a bit later in the process, but they are highly recommended if you plan to publish your game. Simple icons, user interface, and fonts are lowest-priority when your game is young, but a little effort here can greatly improve the player experience.  There are many places to find free or cheap art assets online. Try this list at makeschool.com. Hiring an artist will make a big difference. If you can't afford to, gather the assets yourself and show the result to artistic friends or post it to game development or art forums online for advice. Much of this will be written as planning documents outside the game code itself, although a story-based game may need to include branching dialogue trees. Even...

Write about how oil spills have affected local businesses in your community or the communities in your country or region. Include statistics in your letter to support your information. Also ask your representative what their stance on the issue is and if they are doing anything to address it. Visit the websites of local candidates to find out where they stand on environmental issues like renewable energy. If they have a track record of voting for policies to protect the environment and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, help put them in office by voting for them. There are many non-profits groups and organizations fighting to reduce the world’s dependency on oil through the use of renewable energy.  Support an organization like Center for American Progress, 350.org, The Environmental Working Group, or the Sierra Club by joining and volunteering. If you do not have the time to join or volunteer for an environmental protection organization, you can help support them financially. Donate money to Green Peace, Oceana, or 350.org. Donate on a monthly or annual basis, or whenever you have extra money. Oil spills around the world have alerted citizens to the dangers of offshore drilling. Find a petition by typing “offshore drilling petition” in your search engine. A results list full of sites that have petitions will appear. To sign a petition, you will need to enter your name and email address. Sign reputable organizations' petitions like Oceanic Preservation Society, Ocean Conservancy, Team ORCA, and Oceana.

TL;DR in English: Write a letter to your local or state representatives about preventing oil spills. Vote for candidates that prioritize the environment. Join a non-profit environmental group to raise awareness. Donate money to non-profit organizations that work to prevent oil spills. Sign a petition to stop offshore drilling.

Use the style guide assigned to you by your professor to format a works cited list for your essay. This citation list is typically its own page at the end of the essay. Here you will list all the sources you used to find quotes or other relevant materials presented in your work.  Depending upon your style guide, a primary citation of a book from your list may look something like this: “Mike Wilson, A History of Cats (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8.” Examples of common style guides include the Chicago Manual of Style, the Turabian Citation Guide, and the AMA Manual of Style. For now, don’t treat sources repeated in the list any differently from one another. Simply focus on creating a proper citation for each work. Look over your list and notice which sources repeat often. Use a highlighter to mark the first time a citation for a specific work appears in your list. If a source only appears on your list once, you don’t need to worry about using ibid, as there are no subsequent references. Look to the citation immediately after your primary citation. If it’s the same, or the same other than the page number, choose the appropriate version of ibid to use.  So if you have the citation “Mike Wilson, A History of Cats (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8.” and the citation immediately following is the same, you can change that second citation of the Wilson book to, “Ibid.” If the citation following that primary citation of the Wilson book is to page 9 of the book instead of page 8, change the second citation to "Ibid., 9.” Look for places where citations to the same source repeat, but with other citations in between them. In these cases, you’ll create a secondary citation for the repeating instances. Depending on your chosen style guide, you'll write a secondary citation as something like the author’s name, a comma, the page number, and then a period.  Let’s say an unrelated citation appears between a primary reference to page 8 of the Wilson book and a second identical reference to the...

TL;DR in English: Consult your style guide to create a works cited list. Identify primary citations. Use “Ibid.” or “Ibid., [page number].” for immediate repeats after primary citations. Create secondary citations when sources repeat non-consecutively. Use “Ibid.” when secondary citations immediately repeat.

With this tank, you will not need a darkroom to develop your film. A tank has three parts—a cup, a top, and a reel. The tank comes in two sizes. The smaller size holds only one roll of 35mm film, while the larger tank holds two 35mm rolls or one 120 or 220 roll. You can buy a changing bag at a camera store. This is a heavy bag with two sleeves to slip your hands in and a zipper. The bag is sealed against light so you can load your film in darkness. Unzip the changing bag and place your canister of film, bottle opener, scissors, and development tank into the bag, and zip it back up. Then place your hands in the sleeves. This enables you to access the materials inside the bag without letting any light in. If you do not have a changing bag, use a room with minimal to no windows. To ensure that the room is lightproof, sit in the room for 10-15 minutes and let your eyes adjust to see if any light is seeping through. If light is seeping through, block off any light by securing dark sheets over the parts where light is coming through. Also try going underneath a bed sheet or into a closet or cupboard. Also, before you turn out the lights, have your bottle opener and scissors set up so you can access them easily in the room. Once you're in the dark room or have your hands in the changing bag, use the bottle opener to remove the lid from the canister. While only touching the edges of the film negative, pull the film out of the canister. The film will be taped to the center film spool. Unless you want to cut through your pictures, cut the film at the base of the spool. Also, cut the tip of the film so that you have a square edge (the odd shaped piece that sticks out of the canister when you first buy the film). Start to feed the film into the outer edge of the spool at the beginning of the spiral. You only need to feed it in for a few inches. Once it is in, twist the sides of the reel back and forth. While twisting, keep your left hand steady, and with your right hand twist the right side of the reel forward, then...

TL;DR in English: Buy a development tank. Buy a changing bag. Remove your film from the canister. Cut the film from the spool. Spool the film onto your reel. Load the reel into the development tank.

Just as light can stimulate your brain and make it difficult to fall asleep, it can also make it difficult to stay asleep throughout the night. Block out any sources of light that may be causing your insomnia.   Close any blinds, shutters, or curtains in your bedroom. Wearing a sleep mask or putting another aid such as a pillowcase over your eyes can obstruct light. Turn off any electronics or devices so that they aren’t emitting any light that can wake you. Disruptive noises can not only keep you from falling asleep, but also cause insomnia. Dampen any noises that may disrupt your sleep.  Turn off the sound and vibration functions of electronics and devices.  Wear earplugs to block noise. Listen to white noise. The ambient sounds of elements such as a fan or a speaker that plays ocean sounds may keep you asleep and dampen disruptive noises.  Place carpets in your room to dampen noise. Exercising elevates your body temperature and blood pressure and it takes time for your body to come down from this. Get your exercise early in the day, which has the double benefit of helping you fall and stay asleep.  Exercise at least three hours before you begin winding down. This will help your temperature and cortisol levels return to normal.  An additional benefit to exercising in the morning: your body's metabolism is running a bit higher all day long, so you are burning more calories throughout the day than you normally would. Caffeine and alcohol are two primary causes of insomnia. Limit your intake of both and only consume them well before you begin your wind-down and go to bed.  Don’t drink caffeinated beverages after noon.  Limit yourself to no more than one alcoholic drink at least four hours before bedtime. Finish eating your dinner several hours before your bedtime. Heavy, late and spicy meals can cause indigestion and insomnia.  Eat at least three hours before your bedtime.  Avoid heavy or very spicy meals, which can cause indigestion that leads to frequent bathroom trips.  Have a light snack, such as yogurt or...

Understand that the presence or absence of a higher power has no effect on your moral code, unless he or she were to provide a code that is superior to one that you can deduce on your own.  In this case, a moral and logical atheist would accept such a code without question.  However, despite its godly origin, such an atheist would still recognize the value in questioning this divine moral code in order to potentially obtain even greater moral right.  If such as divine code is perfect, then questioning it only serves to support its greatness and make it stronger.  As such, one should never fear questioning a moral code. If a modern human were to stone to death an adolescent for not honoring his/her father and mother, we would certainly think him/her immoral.  Yet, these are the prescribed punishments for such acts, according to Abrahamic texts found in the Old Testament. Since modern humans do not follow their religious texts to the letter, they must have some method for determining which prescriptions to follow and which to discard, which is ultimately where our morals come from. Ask yourself -- is this action "good" because God tells us to do it, or is it simply a good thing to do. If the action is only good because God says so, then morality is nothing more than a checklist, and there are likely few Christians who believe that murder is moral just because someone talked back to their father. When something is a requirement, it's not actually moral anymore. Morality is about choice -- deciding to the right thing amongst many options. But if you're only doing the right thing because a religious leader or text told you to, or because you're scared of the consequences of hell, you're not actually being moral. You're being a sheep. Never forget that the mass murders of the Spanish Inquisition and Crusades were considered "moral" because they were apparently backed up by the Bible. But anyone stepping back to think for themselves would have realized very quickly that senseless violence is never a good moral...

TL;DR in English: Understand that the human intellect is the greatest tool that we yet know and that your rationale is important. Note that morality does not come from religion, but from communities who interpret religion. Remember that true moral goodness occurs because you want to help, not because you have to. Consider many of the clearly immoral positions of religions throughout history. Understand that highly religious communities often have higher rates of violence and crime. Note that atheists tend to be less prejudiced, hateful, and against limited rights for minorities. Remember to still accept the good of religious thinking and morality.

Temptation is all about self-control, and tempting situations are often about the conflict between immediate gratification and long-term goals. For example, if you're on a diet, you may be tempted to eat a delicious piece of cheesecake that's beckoning you from the deli case. Immediate gratification would result from giving in to temptation and eating the cheesecake. However, giving in would also interfere with your long-term goal of becoming more healthy by avoiding high-sugar foods.  As another example, if you're already in a relationship, become aware of people that might tempt you to cheat. These people may be old acquaintances that have come back into your life, your co-workers, or people that you interact with in private settings. However, temptation isn't always this obvious. For example, say you're a business professional and you're tempted to knock off early on a Friday afternoon a few days a month. A couple of early departures don't seem like a big deal, but this could represent to your employer that you can't be trusted with responsibility, which could jeopardize long-term goals such as promotion and advancement. Make it easier to deal with temptation by getting away from what tempts you. For instance, if you're trying to quit smoking, avoid places that you frequently smoked. You may even want to avoid people that you usually smoked with.  If you're tempted to drink, the annual work party at the bar will probably challenge your determination. Stay alert for potential temptations and avoid them when possible. This way, you won't be caught off-guard and you'll always be prepared to deal with temptations.  If you can't completely remove yourself from a situation or person, try to manage the situation so that it's more difficult to act on your temptation. For example, if you're tempted to cheat with a friend, avoid one-on-one situations. Always meet in a group, if you have to see the person. If you're refusing something or someone that's tempting you, don't feel guilty or like you need to lie. Be...

TL;DR in English: Recognize potential temptation. Remove yourself from temptation. Be honest. Visualize yourself resisting temptation. Think of the long-term consequences. Distract yourself. Do not give yourself a choice.

Since you will be either taping them to a window or hanging them you want to design the snowflake on very strong paper that can withstand the rigors of the holidays and possibly be used again in the future.  Find a very sharp pair of scissors to cut out the snowflakes. The right pair of scissors is the key to creating a professional looking snowflake. Make sure you select only the sharpest pair; sharpen any dull blades before embarking upon this project. Consider using a variety of scissors in order to cut out the intricate shapes. Find a pair of scissors with a smaller blade so you can make small cuts and round  the edges for a more intricate project. While you will most likely cut through the pencil marks you will need to erase any pencil that remains. You can use one of the templates offered in this article, or pick one from another site. A number of websites offer a variety of Star Wars snowflake templates that you can use. Many have multiple designs featuring a bevy of characters. A heavier bond paper will allow you to create a hearty template that you can easily trace and re-use. Be sure your printer can handle the paper bond and won’t jam or damage the printer. (You may want to consult the manual to determine how heavy you can go.) Why stick with boring white when you can jazz up your snowflake? If you like Jedi white, you could use white or silver glitter to make your snowflake shine.

TL;DR in English: Purchase strong, white cardstock to create your snowflakes. Sharpen a pencil and find a good eraser. Download the Star Wars template. Print the template on heavy bond paper. Consider picking up clear tape, a glue stick and glitter to add pizzazz to your snowflake.

Average print speed settings will range from 5 to 20 pages-per-minute (ppm). The optimum quality speed setting is typically among the speed setting options in the speed adjustment control menu on the printer. Increase the print speed to reduce color saturation when images and graphics bleed and warp from over saturation. Decrease the print speed to raise the color saturation when colors seem washed out or faded. These settings can usually be adjusted from the "Print" menu or on the printer's control panel. Choose the highest dots-per-inch (dpi) setting. Depending on the device specifications, the dpi settings will range from 72 to 2400 dpi. The dpi setting will have a dramatic effect on the resolution quality of an inkjet printer.

If you chronically lack confidence, it's probably very easy for you to catalogue your faults and failures, but what about acknowledging your positives? For most people, this is a lot more challenging.  Researchers have found that self-esteem is comprised of both cognitive factors, such as positive memories you have of yourself and your behavior, and self-evaluation, or how positively you evaluate your current attitudes and behaviors. Make a list of everything you like about yourself - your qualities and skills that make you you.  It can help to actually sit down and write out a list as things come to you. Grab a notebook or journal and set a timer for 20-30 minutes. Journaling is a good way to continually maintain and open conversation with yourself about who you are and want to be. It's a way to prompt self-reflection and self-discovery and may help you realize things about yourself that you didn't really know.  Think also about some areas you'd like to improve, such as assertiveness or self-confidence. Contemplate not only what you feel, but why you feel the way you do. Begin to understand your true self, and allow it to exist. If you're not as good at handling some things as you are at others—for example, maybe you feel confident and capable until other people are thrown into a situation, such as in a relationship or at work—acknowledging all facets of yourself is the first step to transformation. Chances are that you are not giving yourself enough credit for everything that you've done throughout your life. Take some time to reflect and look back at your past glories from big to small—things that you've done that you feel proud of. This will help validate your place in the world and the value you bring to the people and society around you and, in this way, build your self-confidence. Research shows that part of building self-esteem is having a solid schema of positive memories about your past accomplishments and abilities. If you begin to accept that you have been a bright, hopeful, confident person in...

TL;DR in English: Take stock of yourself. Look back on your life and your accomplishments. Focus on positive thoughts and beliefs. Set goals and expectations. Fake it 'til you make it. Take chances. Help someone. Take care of yourself. Let go of the idea of perfection. Be persistent.

If you don’t speak Japanese, which is a requirement for most jobs in Japan, then a great way to work in the country is to teach English. Even if you do speak Japanese, you may want the rewarding experience of teaching overseas.  You will need a bachelor’s degree (not an associate's degree) in any subject and possibly a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification. You can get certified as an English language teacher in about three months. Get certified via online or in-person courses. Visit the TESOL or TEFL websites to find accredited classrooms near you. You will need to pass a criminal background check and possibly a drug test. One way of finding a teaching job in Japan is through a program such as the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET). This is run through the Japanese government and places qualified candidates as Assistant Language Teachers in public schools across the country.  Participants sign a 1-year contract and can spend a maximum of 5 consecutive years in the program. You can apply for the program through an online portal during the fall. Your application will need to include the application form, a medical form indicating that you’re in good health, your university transcripts, proof of degree, a 2-page essay explaining why you want to participate in the program, two letters of reference, and proof of American citizenship. It is a very competitive program so not all applicants will be accepted. There are hundreds of private schools offering English classes throughout the country. Typically, you will apply for a teaching position online through the school’s website and be interviewed via Skype if you’re a promising candidate.  Search online for private schools and visit their websites to see if they're hiring. You can also check for job advertisements on Japanese job sites like Gaijinpot.  Make sure the school is legitimate by doing online searches to turn up any negative stories about it. Watch out for red flags....

Look in a local directory to find a tailor near you. You may want to look online for reviews before deciding on a tailor. You can also visit the store to ensure that it is clean and professional, and even ask to see an example of the tailor’s work. A professional tailor should be proud to show their handiwork. Examine an example piece and see if it looks tidy and clean of any loose threads. Usually they require dry cleaning. Read the interior label and follow the cleaning instructions. You can wash your blazers if they are cotton velvet, but make sure to line dry them rather than using the dryer. Store your blazers in garment bags when not in use. This will prevent dust and lint from adhering to them. You can occasionally press them instead by using steam. Steam your blazers with a hand steamer or the steam from an iron. Don’t touch the fabric directly with the iron. Do this with the nap of the velvet facing down, and the steamer about half an inch away from the fabric. Do a test piece first to ensure that there is no damage to the fabric. If you spill something on your blazer, spot treat it immediately. Blot it with water and a clean cloth. It will leave a water stain, but you can then take your blazer to a dry cleaner or wash it immediately as per the care instructions on the interior label.

TL;DR in English: Get your blazers tailored. Clean and store your blazers. Don’t iron your blazers. Spot treat your blazers as needed.

Having high expectations of your interactions with your cousin can lead to disappointment. If you continue to experience disappointment due to how your cousin treats you, lowering your expectations may help. Try setting your expectations very low so that even if they’re a little pleasant to be around, you’ll be surprised. For example, if you have a cousin who frequently makes rude comments or who complains a lot, then expect them to be at their worst. This way, if your cousin happens to say only a few rude things or is in a slightly better mood, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Visualizing a shield around your body that nothing can get through may help you to cope with any comments your cousin makes that would normally upset you. Imagine that the words are hitting the shield and bouncing off of it before getting to you.  To make the visualization stronger, imagine the color of the shield, its shape, and any special features on it, such as a design or spikes. Visualization takes some practice, but over time you’ll get better and better at letting your cousin’s comments bounce off your shield. Taking a minute to acknowledge who your cousin is and what they are really like might also help you to cope with their behavior. Identify their behavior and how you feel when you’re around them. Then, say or think something like this to yourself:  “Janice, you’re mean and you tease me often, and that hurts my feelings. But I accept that this is who you are and that I will feel upset sometimes when I’m around you.” Repeat this mantra to yourself whenever you are having a hard time being around your cousin. Sometimes you might need to get away from your cousin before you say or do something in retaliation. To ensure that this is always an option, come up with a plan ahead of time whenever you will be spending time with them. Try to avoid putting yourself into a scenario where you can’t leave or have no way to get a break. For example, if you’re spending the day at home with your cousin, excuse yourself to go to the restroom...

TL;DR in English: Set your expectations low so you won't be disappointed. Imagine you’re surrounded by an impenetrable shield. Try to accept and acknowledge your cousin for who they are. Prepare a way out for yourself if you get too frustrated. Devote adequate time to self-care.

Quality content, in other words lots of original, error-free text organized well on a modern-looking website, is what matters most in terms of SEO that you can control. Hiring a professional website designer can help with the cosmetics and get you taken seriously by your visitors. You'll also want to be sure that you're not misleading visitors, they should be getting what was advertised when they looked at the site's description. You also create quality content by making sure that your content is original. This means that not only should each page of your site have different content than every other page of your site, but it also means that you'll be docked for stealing the content of others. Make your text original! Quality images, tagged with good keywords, can also help your rankings with search engines. Find the most relevant and search keywords that relate to the content you provide and then add those keywords to your site text. Use the word a few times within the page in a way that relates to the rest of the text and is natural. Going over the top with the word-drops or pairing them with content that is irrelevant will get you punished in the rankings, however. This involves at least a little bit of figuring out what makes your business unique. Maybe you're not just a clothing designer, but you're a geeky clothing designer. Maybe you're not just an auto shop but you're an auto shop in Seattle. Try to use Google Adwords to check how competitive your keywords are before deciding on them. Be sure that the keywords have at least some searches. You will want to try using broader key words too. Create a site map that tells people where everything is on your site. You will get about a 1% click through rate to your site map. However, it will do wonders for those who know what site maps do, and the Search Engines will like it as well.

TL;DR in English: Have quality content. Create original content. Incorporate appropriate images. Use keywords. Target niche keywords with low competition. Have a site map.

Naming your band should happen only after you've gotten know your bandmates as player and as friends. Have lots of rehearsals together, get a feel for the sort of music you want to play, who your target audience is, your shared interests, your plans, and other important considerations. Essentially, you are making a product. And you are trying to sell this product to listeners. In order for this product to be successful, it has to be aimed at the right people and you have to be 200% enthusiastic and passionate about your band's identity. One-word names have the advantage of being short, punchy, and easy to remember. Some of the greatest bands of all time have one-word band names that can be iconic and easily translated into a sweet logo:  Blur, Sleep, Kyuss, Genesis, and Death are all awesome single-word band names to take inspiration from. Just start flipping through the dictionary to look for cool words. Give it a "the" in front if you want to seem old-school, or like a punky unit, and check out foreign words. Legendary metal band Pantera got their name from the Spanish word pantera which means "panther." . If you want, add an adjective to your one-noun name, just like Arctic Monkeys, Black Mountain, and Crystal Castles did. Portishead, Lindisfarne, Sleater-Kinney, Boston, and Beirut are all named after specific geographical locations that meant something to the bandmates involved. Think about the streets you grew up on, or the name of the place where your band practices. Keep it local. " Kennings are single words made out of two different words, and are techniques common to poetry and band names. Radiohead, Whitesnake, and Megadeth are all examples of band names made of two words smooshed together to make a new one. Animals always make popular choices for band names. Scorpion, the Eels, Gorillaz, and Grizzly Gear are classics of the genre. Start thinking of strange animals that haven't been the inspiration for a band yet. Yellow Squid? Box Turtles? Sun Bears? Think of your spirit animal and decide. Every...

Find the source of the moisture. Determine the extent of the damage. Remove any damaged drywall. Repair the hole in the drywall. Repaint the newly repaired area.

Follow the directions in the conversion kit for installing these 2 parts using the included hardware. Use the provided bolts to secure the speed controller to the frame of the bike above the chain. Then, attach the throttle to the handlebars so it’s easy to reach. If you have any other accessories, attach them as well. Secure the speed sensor to the back wheel and connect any displays and gauges to the handlebars with the included hardware. Follow the instructions included with the kit to connect each part. Typically, you’ll only need to plug the connector on the speed controller into the connector on the battery, then repeat the process for the throttle. Be sure not to touch the battery wires together, as this could create a dangerous spark! Most e-bike batteries are designed to fit on the frame in place of a water bottle holder. This is the ideal placement since it keeps the center of gravity low. Use the included hardware to attach the battery to the frame as indicated by the instructions that came with the battery. Alternatively, you could place the battery in a box or basket on the front or back of the bike, particularly if it is too large to fit well on the frame (such as if it’s more than 60 volts). Use zip-ties to attach any loose parts to the frame. Keep safety in mind as you don’t want any cables to get caught while you’re riding. That’s it! You can now cruise around on your e-bike. Just press down gently on the throttle when you’re ready to ride. Go for a test drive in a less populated area so you can get used to it before you take it out on the road. The e-bike battery comes with a charger, making the process super simple. Follow the instructions for connecting the battery to the charger and plug it into a compatible outlet whenever you need to.

TL;DR in English: Attach the speed controller and the throttle. Connect the battery to the speed controller and the throttle. Mount the battery onto the bike. Secure any loose cables. Ride your electric bike. Charge the bike when necessary.

Use a unique skill or ability that you already possess and make it appear more impressive. Maybe you have great drumming skills, a stellar singing voice, or the ability to make complicated balloon animals. You can then take your ability to the next level by adding in a surprising or interesting element.  Think of creative ways to impress the judges with your talent and show them how well you can do the talent even in less than ideal circumstances.  You may want to enlist friends to perform with you and create an act where you all drum together on stage. Or you may ask friends who can play instruments to be your backing band for your singing performance. You can then create synchronized movements as a band that you perform together during the act. If you have a more specialized talent, like making balloon animals or juggling, you may want to add in an element of difficulty that will appear impressive to the judges. This could be making a huge balloon animal within a certain time limit or making balloon animals while riding a unicycle or running on a treadmill. When you are creating your act, you should showcase your strengths as a performer. This will help you feel more comfortable when you perform and more confident. You will also be at your best when you are catering to your strengths, as this can help to hide your weaknesses as a performer.  If you are more comfortable in costume when performing in front of others, come up with a unique costume that ties into your act. Maybe you wear an updated clown costume for your juggling act or a long, glamorous gown for your jazz singing performance with a band. Think about how you can use costume as a way to feel comfortable and confident on stage. You may be at ease when you move and dance around the stage, as opposed to staying in one place. Integrate this into your act, where you do a coordinated dance with the other people in your act or do a dance to fit your act if you are on stage alone. Stage props can be as simple as a microphone stand or as complex as...

TL;DR in English: Take a unique skill or ability you already have and improve on it. Cater to your strengths as a performer. Include stage props. Get the audience involved in your act.

Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Add ½ cup (100 g) plus 2 tablespoons of sugar, ½ cup (95 g) of room temperature shortening, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Turn the mixer on to medium-low speed and beat the mixture for a minute or two, so the ingredients are combined. You'll want to use a stand mixer for this dough because it is really sticky to work with. Open 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons of 7 g) of instant yeast and pour it into a small prep bowl. Pour in ¼ cup (60 ml) of warm water and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir the mixture, so the yeast and sugar dissolve. You should notice the yeast bubble a little as it activates. Pour the yeast mixture into the mixing bowl. Measure out 3½ cups (437 g) of flour and add half of it to the mixing bowl. Turn the mixer on to medium speed and beat the dough for 3 to 5 minutes. The dough will be very thick and paste-like once it's combined. Crack 3 egg yolks into the mixing bowl and add the rest of the flour. Turn the mixer on to medium speed and beat the dough for 3 minutes. The dough will be sticky at this point. You can discard or save the egg whites for another recipe.

TL;DR in English: Combine the milk, shortening, sugar, and salt. Activate the yeast. Stir the yeast and half of the flour into the mixing bowl. Stir in the egg yolks and the rest of the flour.

Some medications can increase your risk of bruising after surgery, such as heart medications and blood thinners. For instance, aspirin, clopidogrel, and warfarin can all increase your chance of bruising. As most of these medications are necessary to keep you healthy, it's not recommended that you stop them, although, you may be able to stop aspirin for a week before your surgery under a doctor's orders and supervision.  Other medications that can lead to this problem include dabigatran, enoxaparin, ticlopidine, and dipyridamole.  Have your doctor review your medications to help you determine which ones may lead to more bruising, and when they should be stopped before the surgery and restarted after the operation. Depending on the indication, some of these medications cannot be stopped and will need to be continued throughout the surgical period. Herbal supplements can also lead to an increased risk for bruising. For instance, if you take garlic or ginkgo biloba in pill form, it can increase your chances of bruising. Vitamin E can also have this effect. As these pills are not medically necessary, you may be able to stop them before your surgery; usually, you can take a break from them starting 2 weeks before your surgery. How you are positioned during surgery can affect how much you bruise. Having an open discussion about your concerns before surgery may encourage your doctor to make changes if necessary.  For instance, if you are having surgery on your face, your surgery should be conducted with you in a chair with your head on a headrest. In addition, the angle of the chair should be angled back about 30 degrees from straight upright.  The room should be bright enough to look for blood vessels, and a side light is especially helpful. One way you can help your doctor is by removing all traces of makeup before entering the clinic; it's best not to put any on the morning of your surgery. Makeup can hide your blood vessels. If your doctor nicks a blood vessel, it can lead to more extensive bruising. You can also...

TL;DR in English: Note what medications put you at increased risk. Check your herbal supplements. Ask your doctor about surgery conditions. Make sure to not wear any makeup to your surgery. Skip the alcohol. Try bromelain.

You may find an obvious leak in a pipe or fixture on the floor above the damaged ceiling, but it may also be more difficult to pinpoint.  If you don’t locate the source of the moisture prior to doing the repair, the problem will just keep coming back. Wear gloves, safety glasses and a dust mask while looking for and repairing the leak.  Depending on how long the leak has gone unrepaired, there could be mold present. If there is an extensive amount of mold, hire a professional to remove it safely. If the stain is from a long since repaired leak and the damage is only aesthetic, you may be able to remove the stain with a little elbow grease.  Use a one to one water and bleach mixture to try to blot the stain away.  Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when you apply it. If that doesn't work, wait until it dries completely and simply primer and paint the stain to match your ceiling.  As long as the drywall is intact and the leak is repaired, you're done! Depending on the extent of the damage, you may just need to cut out a bit of drywall or you may need to remove entire portions.  If you only need to remove a small portion of the ceiling, use a keyhole saw or similar tool to remove the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you may need to use the claw end of a hammer or a crowbar to remove all of the damaged material. Ensure all stained drywall is removed and that any material remaining is dry and not sagging. Clean the area with household cleaner to ensure mildew and mold does not develop. Now that all of the damaged material is removed, it’s time to replace it with new drywall.   Cut a portion of drywall that is the same approximate size as the area you cut out of the ceiling. If the hole you are patching is small, simply place the newly cut drywall into the hole, then use drywall joint compound to fill the gap and serve as glue to keep it in place.  Use a putty knife to ensure it is flat and even. If the hole is larger, you may need help holding the replacement drywall in place while you use the...

TL;DR in English:


As teens frequently have little experience beyond their high school education, include a section outlining our education on the top of your resume.  Start with your most recent school and work your way back. However, you should not go all the way back to elementary school. Just list your college, if you're enrolled, and your high school education.  If you've accrued any honors during high school or college, it's a good idea to list them. Things like the honors roll, honors college, or Dean's list speak to a strong work ethic. If you have a particularly high GPA, you might want to list that too. Oftentimes, teens have yet to have a real job or their work experience is very limited. However, there are ways to creatively present work experience in a way that displays a strong skill set even if work experience is limited.  List formal or informal volunteer work, babysitting, or any gardening, dog walking, or other chores you may have done for relatives or neighbors for money. Even if these are not highly formal jobs that require a large skill set, the fact you performed them on a somewhat regular basis speaks to a strong work ethic and good time management skills.  Low wage, part time jobs may not seem like much, but mentioning things like waitressing or retail work can look good if you highlight how such jobs helped you with interpersonal communication. Focus on how you talked to and assisted customers and the vast amount of information you had to manage. Make use of resume "buzz words" when you list the jobs you have held. Buzz words are words used on resumes to make work experience appear impressive to help catch an employer's eye.  Online, you can find lists of resume buzzwords that will help up your chances of getting the job you want. Things like classified, analyzed, facilitated, collected, assessed, calculated, trained, and designed are just a small example of the kinds of words that look great on a resume. Using buzzwords can make jobs seem impressive and emphasize the transferable skills you gained from...

TL;DR in English: Include your educational level. Add work experience creatively. Use your words wisely. List any special skills or achievements.

Grab a pullup bar with your palms facing outward. Then, lift yourself up until your chin is above the bar. Lift yourself slowly to fully engage the muscles in your shoulder and back. Lower yourself down slowly to complete the pull-up. Use your shoulder and back muscles to lower yourself at the same speed you used to pull yourself up.  If you jerk and twist your back as you pull yourself up, you’ll risk straining a muscle. Start with as many pull-ups as you can manage, and try to add 1-2 more each workout. For example, start with 10. Next time you do pull-ups, aim for 12. Lie on your front, with your elbows bent and your weight resting on your forearms. Then, push your hips up until your back is parallel to the floor. Retract your shoulder blades to engage more of your back muscles. Hold the position for 15 seconds. Try doing 2 sets of 15 reps. Once you’re comfortable doing low planks, try adding high planks into your workout routine. The only difference is that, instead of resting on your elbows, you’ll fully extend your arms and rest on your hands. Lay flat on your stomach and straighten your arms out in front of you, palms down. Then, slowly and simultaneously raise your arms up until your hands are about 6 inches (15 cm) off the ground and raise your legs so your feet are also raised 6 inches (15 cm) off the floor. Squeeze your legs together and keep them straight. Hold the pose for 15-30 seconds, and perform 3 sets of 10 reps.  You can increase or decrease the difficulty of the superman pose as needed. Try raising one arm at a time, then build toward raising one arm and the opposite leg at the same time. Move to raising both arms but not your legs, then both legs but not your arms to prepare you for the complete pose. This exercise works your back extensor muscles, which run down your spine and impact your posture. Lie flat on your stomach for this exercise. Push your shoulders back and raise your arms until they’re about 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground. Hold your arms outstretched so they’re parallel...

TL;DR in English: Do pull-ups to strengthen your shoulders and upper back. Perform low planks to strengthen your lats and build your core. Try the “superman” to strengthen your lower back and core. Strengthen your mid-back and shoulders with reverse snow angels.

Plagiarism is often an honest mistake. Many students genuinely don’t understand what needs to be quoted. When you explain the assignment, take time to give students a lesson about what constitutes plagiarism.  You can say something like, “Anything that is not general knowledge or your own idea needs a citation. Direct quotes and statistics must always have a citation.” If your school has a policy on plagiarism, include it in your syllabus. If necessary, you can write your own. If students understand how to write proper citations, they are more likely to use them. Tell students what citation system you would like them to use and spend some time in class explaining the system. For example, if you want them to use APA, show them how to cite a book and a website. You can also include a link to the citation guide in the guidelines for the paper. Don’t give broad essay prompts such as “Write about Winston Churchill.” Instead, write more complex questions that paper mills won’t likely have in the archives. If you want students to write about Churchill, try something like, “How did Churchill’s personality impact the way he led Britain in World War II? Give specific examples of how his larger than life personality directly affected the outcome of his diplomatic efforts.” If you teach the same class every year, make sure to change up the paper topics each term. This will help cut down on students using papers that previous students wrote. If you do find evidence of plagiarism, make sure to follow protocol. For example, you might be required to notify the principal or guidance counselor. Some schools have a no-tolerance policy, which means that the student automatically fails the assignment or even the class.  If you aren’t sure what the policy is, ask a co-worker or your supervisor to provide you with that information. Meet with the student first if you think it was an innocent mistake. Many students plagiarize without even realizing it. Consider talking to the student first to see if they understand what they did wrong.

TL;DR in English: Discuss and define plagiarism when giving the assignment. Go over the citation guide you want students to use. Write unique assignments so that students can’t easily find a paper online. Follow your school’s academic code of conduct to handle the situation.

If you run a full warm bath, add 1 cup of epsom salts. If you run only a few inches of water in a bathtub, add 2 to 3 tablespoons. Make sure the water is not too hot or it could make your hemorrhoid more painful. Soak in the bath for 10 to 15 minutes a few times a day.  You can also use a sitz bath, a small tub that you place over the toilet so you can soak only your bottom. This might be a good chance for you to relax while someone else takes care of the new baby. Or, use the time to nurse the baby. Apply aloe vera gel or an ointment that has phenylephrine. Phenylephrine acts as a decongestant which can help shrink the hemorrhoid. Aloe vera gel has been shown to prevent infection and help healing in minor wounds. You can also purchase hemorrhoid cream from the drugstore.[Image:Treat Hemorrhoids After Pregnancy Step 3.jpg|center]] Avoid applying steroid creams since these can damage the delicate tissue around a hemorrhoid. Take a cotton pad and soak it in witch hazel. Apply the pad to the hemorrhoid for several minutes. Repeat this as often as you like, especially after painful bowel movements, or at least 4 or 5 times a day. Witch hazel acts as an astringent and can reduce the swelling. Avoid using toilet paper to clean yourself after toileting. Instead, fill a plastic peri-bottle with warm water and squirt the area. Gently pat the area dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using baby wipes, which can further irritate the area. You might have gotten a peri-bottle from the hospital or you can buy them at a drugstore or pharmacy.

TL;DR in English: Take warm baths. Use pain and itch-relieving gels or lotions. Shrink the hemorrhoids with an astringent. Be gentle when cleaning yourself.

Once you've cut the player loose, your decision is final. There's no turning back -- you won't hang out with him again, return his calls, or even grab coffee with him because you feel sorry for him. Remind yourself why you played him in the first place. Either he really hurt you or another friend, or you just realized that he's the kind of guy who doesn't respect women. If he doesn't respect women, then why should you respect him?  If you give in and do see him again, he'll quickly lose respect for you. If he's a true player, he'll only want you if you don't really want him all that much. Once you've played a player, you'll be better at recognizing them in the future. Watch out for these cagey guys and protect your heart as you move forward in your love life. Remain humble. Don't let this accomplishment get to your head; although it does add an extreme boost to your confidence (you might start to think that you can get any guy you want or feel that you're "playing" some guys when they only look at you as a friend)the tables can turn quick if you get caught up (with other dudes). They might know the game a little better than you do.
