Make time to talk about you. Share your feelings.

Check with building officials and local codes to ensure that you won't break any laws.  Every city is different and yours may have certain codes which only allow a certain type of fire pit. Get in contact with the planning offices in your area to see if any restrictions apply. Your pit should be far away from any flammable structure.  With an in-ground fire pit you need to make sure it’s built in a clear area. It should be a safe distance away from your home, deck, overhangs, trees, etc. You should also keep your fire pit away from heat sensitive plants, dry grass, bales of hay, open firewood, and other materials that could ignite. If you don’t already have your in-ground fire pit built, check wind patterns in the area before you build. You want to position your pit so that it doesn’t blow smoke into your home. You may want to position your fire pit in an out-of-the-way place for late night intimate gatherings. Or, you may want it more centrally located to encourage conversation and interaction between your guests.  Wherever you decide to place it, make sure that you pick a safe location. If you haven’t built the in-ground fire pit, make sure you pick a place that will stay clear of any plant life for years. It’s best to pick an open flat area for your guests as well. If you are on a slope it might be more uncomfortable to sit around the pit. If you are in a more enclosed area, smoke from the pit might be an issue. The easiest way to get a fire going in your in-ground fire pit is to sort your wood, kindling, and tinder.   To help you build the best fire, sort your materials by size. Place all your large logs together, followed by your smaller logs, kindling, and tinder. If you plan to cook any food over your fire, don’t use any starter logs or gels. These items contain chemicals which get into the smoke and can get on your food. If there’s any moisture in the wood, especially the larger logs, it will be harder to start your fire.  You can easily find tinder in your own yard from dry grass and leaves that...

TL;DR in English: Make sure you can legally use an in-ground fire pit in your home. Take a good look around your yard or patio when positioning your fire pit. Consider how you want your guests to interact. Gather your materials for a fire. Make sure that you use dry wood. Place your materials in your fire pit. Light the fire. Maintain your fire. Put out your fire.

To further deodorize the area, you can use some other household products. Baking soda can be used to absorb any remaining vinegar and further remove smells. Sprinkle baking soda liberally over the soiled area. Hydrogen peroxide mixed with baking soda with create a foaming action that is very effective at removing odors. Create a solution from 0.5 cups (120 ml) of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of dish soap. Pour this solution over the baking soda and allow it to foam. Using a scrub brush, work the baking soda and peroxide solution deep into the stain. Then blot the area with a paper towel to remove as much of the solution as you can. Allow the area to dry. This removes any lingering baking soda, as well as any lingering smell. A wet vac works best, but a traditional vacuum cleaner can be used in a pinch. Avoid using a steam cleaner, as this can actually further set the stain.

TL;DR in English: Cover the area with baking soda and let sit for 1 hour. Pour a mixture of 0.5 cups of hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon of dish soap on top of the baking soda. Scrub the peroxide and baking soda into the stain, then blot. Vacuum the carpet once the area is totally dry.

As you gather your data, check it against your milestones, as that tells you whether you're meeting your goals for communication. Your milestones should already be measurable, so all you need to do is see if the data matches. For instance, if one of your milestones was to engage 1,000 more customers on social media, you can check the data and see if you have that many more followers across your social media platforms.  Hopefully, you're meeting or exceeding your milestones and your data reflects that. If you are, you can continue on with your campaign as you've been doing, as it seems to be working. If not, you'll need to re-evaluate what you're doing. Sometimes, your milestones may have been too ambitious, and that's fine. You can re-establish new milestones that make more sense and are more attainable, such as lowering the number of followers on social media you want to engage in a specific amount of time. Other times, you may decide what you're doing isn't working, and you need to figure out a new communication campaign. Spend some time focusing on what needs to change so that you can be more effective. For example, if you're not having luck engaging customers on social media, you may need to change how you approach it, such as making your responses to customers more personal and engaging. Alternatively, you may decide to move those resources elsewhere to a more effective campaign. Rewards are a great way to motivate employees to meet the milestones you've set. You could use bonuses and salary bumps as rewards if you have the authority to do so. However, you could also make other fun rewards, such as an office catered dinner or party if you meet certain milestones. While it is your employees' responsibility to meet these milestones without rewards, a little external motivation can do wonders for morale!

TL;DR in English: Measure your results against the milestones you've set. Reevaluate and re-focus your milestones as needed. Establish rewards for meeting milestones to increase effectiveness.

The herpes virus can spread to your fingers and cause a type of infection known as herpes whitlow. To prevent this, do not touch the cold sore with a bare finger, suck on your finger while you have a cold sore, or otherwise put your fingers into contact with the cold sore. Even if your cold sore is painful, resist the temptation to pick at it. Instead, take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, or use a topical pain-relieving cream containing lidocaine or benzocaine. Even if you take care not to touch your cold sore, you might touch it without realizing that you did. Washing your hands frequently will help keep the virus from spreading to other areas. Since the herpes virus is most contagious when cold sores appear, if you can make them go away, then you reduce the chances of spreading the virus elsewhere on your body.  Ask your doctor about what antiviral drugs (such as Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir, and Penciclovir) you can take to make the cold sores disappear sooner. Some antivirals are in pill form, while others are creams. For severe cases there are also injections. You can also take an over-the-counter cream (containing Docosanol) to shorten your cold sore outbreak.  If you use an antiviral cream, apply it to the cold sore while wearing a disposable glove and/or use a cotton swab. This will keep you from touching the cold sore and potentially spreading the virus.

TL;DR in English: Keep your fingers away from the cold sore(s). Wash your hands frequently. Take medications to speed the healing process.

Your egotist may tend to talk about themselves frequently and at great lengths. If you feel like your partner does not give you enough space to talk about you, address it. You deserve to have this relationship and this partner be as much of a sounding board as he expects you to be for him. Try addressing it directly, or making it more of a new pattern in your conversations.  "John, I really need to talk to you about something that is bothering me. I know you have things you want to say as well, but I really need someone to listen. Would you be willing to focus on just this problem and help me?” Bring up topics more regularly that you are interested it. You may have gotten into the habit of just listening to your partner and letting him control the conversations. Start a new pattern of conversation by interjecting with topics you are interested in or thoughts you are having. There is a solid chance that your egotistic partner is going to do or say something that makes you angry or sad at some point, because what you are doing is difficult and can be frustrating. Communication is key in any relationship, especially when you are working through some things. If you are really bothered by a particular action of your partner or by something she said, tell her. Try to add a compliment or a praise in and then tell her what upsets you, carefully and tactfully.  "Jane, I love it when you teach me how to cook. You are really good at it, and I want to learn. It just really hurts me when you tell it to me like I'm a nine year old kid." ”I understand you have a very strong opinion about this. Maybe you know more about it than I do, too. I would just really like for you to respect my opinion even if it is different than yours and not laugh at me for sharing it with you.”

TL;DR in English:


Talk to your local authorities to determine which permits you'll need. Contact your local falconry organization. Find a sponsor. Take the falconry test for your permit.

Practicing what some doctors call "scent therapy" can engage new receptors in your nose, improving your sense of smell over time. Choose several strong smells that are pleasant to you and spend a few minutes every day sniffing each one. After a few weeks, your nose will be able to pick up on these smells more easily. When you start noticing a difference, practice with more smells.   Essential oils are very useful tools when it comes to scent therapy. Chose 3 or 4 oils with smells you like, such as lemongrass, cedar, vanilla and geranium rose. You can also use raw materials to conduct scent therapy. Gather a few small jars and fill each one with a different strong-smelling substance, such as ground coffee, dried basil leaves, a few drops of your favorite floral shampoo, and so on. Keep the lids on the jars when you aren't using them so the smells stay strong. When you conduct scent therapy, you should sniff quickly, rather than deeply inhaling each scent. This way you'll avoid scent fatigue. Another form of therapy you can try is experimenting with identifying different types of smells with your eyes closed. Practicing this over the course of a few months will enhance your ability to distinguish between different smells. Close your eyes and have someone hold different substances under your nose one at a time. See if you can identify the smells.  Start by rotating smells that are quite different, like chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon, or bourbon, orange juice and peppermint tea. As you get better at distinguishing between smells, start working with smells that are more difficult to tell apart, like strawberry, cherry and raspberry, or lemon, lime and grapefruit. When you identify and describe a smell out loud, your ability to perceive it is sharpened. Make a practice of talking about smells as you experience them. Describe them out loud using specific language, the way a wine connoisseur would talk about the characteristics of different wines. Make a point of noticing and talking about everyday smells. For...

TL;DR in English: Inhale strong smells every day. Close your eyes and inhale. Describe smells out loud. Work up a sweat. Eat more zinc. Check your medication. Treat your allergies. Stop smoking.

Skipping meals, especially breakfast, causes a blood sugar drop. Besides hunger and fatigue, this causes increased sugar cravings. Eating balanced meals at regular times is one of the best ways to avoid these cravings.If you regularly get hungry during the day, pack some healthy snacks like nuts to have on the go. Studies show that exercise helps reduce cravings of all kinds, including cravings for sugar. Stay active to handle your own sugar cravings. Try to get 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days per week for the best results.  Aerobic or weight-bearing exercises have similar effects. As long as you’re staying active, you should see some positive benefits. If you’re swearing off sugar to lose weight, then getting regular exercise will help you reach that goal. Stress-eating is common, and people usually pick unhealthy, sugary foods for their stress-eating. Try to find other stress management techniques that don’t involve snacking. You have many choices, so use some stress-reducing exercises and enjoyable activities to control your stress.  Relaxation exercises like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing are great activities for stress-reduction. Any activities you enjoy also help reduce stress. Whether like knitting, playing guitar, watching movies, or playing videogames, all of these will help cut down on your stress and anxiety. Distracting your mind with enjoyable activities also distracts you from cravings.

TL;DR in English: Avoid skipping meals so your blood sugar doesn’t crash. Exercise regularly to reduce cravings. Find healthy stress-management strategies.

This method works great if you’ve just gotten out of the shower and your hair is still wet. You can also dampen your hair using a spray bottle filled with water. Having wet or damp hair will make it easier for the curls to hold. You can use pens, pencils, or even a tube of mascara. Look for a tube-shaped object that is wide enough so you can wrap your hair around it twice, as this will give you nice looking curls.  You can test out the object by taking a piece of your hair and trying to wrap it around the object. If you can get the piece around your hair twice, you’re good to use it for this method. You can also use objects that are different width, such as a pen that is skinny and a tube of mascara that is wide. This will give you some variety and allow you to use the skinner object to curl pieces of hair that are shorter. Hold the curled hair in place with one hand and use the other hand to use hair clips to secure it. Put 1 to 2 hair clips across the curled hair so it stays in place. Pincurl clips are a great option. Because you are not using any heat with this method, you need to give your hair time to set naturally. Allow your hair to dry under the scarf for several hours or sleep with the scarf on so your hair can dry during the night. Once you have let your curls set, carefully remove the hair clips one at a time. Then, use your fingers to carefully separate them so they appear lightly tousled and natural looking. You can shake them lightly or run your fingers through them. Do not brush or comb your curls, as this will flatten the curls.

TL;DR in English: Start with wet or damp hair. Use a tube-shaped object you can wrap your hair around twice. Clip the curled hair in place with hair clips. Let your hair set for 2-4 hours or overnight. Remove the hair clips and separate them with your hands.

Make sure that you use shampoo and conditioner that you like. Look at the label and make sure it’s formulated for curly hair.  Light formulas with mild moisturizers are best for looser curls and oily hair. Thicker formulas are better for tighter curls and drier hair. Tight curls or kinks will usually need a cream conditioner. Dry curls will need a conditioner with heavy moisturizers or oils. For damaged curls, buy a conditioner especially for damaged hair. Curly hair tends to see the most dryness and damage at the ends since the ends are the oldest part of the hair. Focus on conditioning the ends and then work your way up towards the roots. Use more on the ends, and very little at the roots--this will help maintain your hair’s natural shape by preventing oily buildup at the roots. Keep the conditioner in your hair for at least five minutes. You can increase the time to fifteen or twenty minutes if your hair is badly damaged or unusually dry. Rinse out your hair thoroughly, using cool water to lock in your hair’s natural oils and smooth your hair by sealing the cuticle. Run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through your hair to detangle it while rinsing. Using a wide-tooth comb is particularly useful for tightly coiled textured hair. Many companies make leave-in conditioners or hair masks, especially for curly hair. These can give your hair additional protection and make managing your curly hair a little easier. Apply according to the package directions, leave in, and style your hair as usual. Air drying is the best way to prevent damage and frizz to curly hair. If you generally rely on blow drying to help style your hair, try other methods to curl or straighten your hair. Too much heat can damage your curly hair! If you use a curler, straightener, or hot comb, set it to the lowest temperature possible. If you use a curler, get a wide diameter one to prevent overusing it on your hair.

TL;DR in English: Choose a conditioner of your choice. Apply the conditioner. Let the conditioner sit for five to twenty minutes. Rinse your hair with cool water. Use a leave-in product (optional). Let your hair air dry. Turn heat-styling tools to their lowest setting.

Becoming a falconer isn't as simple as going out into the wild and catching a bird. Raptors are protected by state/provincial, federal/national and international law and you will need the appropriate permits and licenses before getting a hawk or practicing falconry. Contact your local wildlife agency as early as possible so that you will have plenty of time to complete all of the necessary requirements to legally practice falconry.  These permits can take quite a long time to be approved, so it is important to plan ahead. In fact, most falconry resources agree that it is best to apply for these permits a year in advance of the hunting season in which you wish to begin falconry. Note that, in addition to a falconry permit, you may also need an ordinary hunting license, which can require you to take hunter education courses. At this point, you will probably also want to schedule the test you'll need to take to obtain your permit. See below for more information. Once again, here is a list of relevant wildlife agencies in the U.S. and Canada courtesy of NAFA. While you're waiting for your government paperwork to be processed, get in touch with the nearest falconry organization to start the process of becoming an apprentice. Not all states, provinces, or regions will have these sorts of clubs or organizations, but many do.   Here is a list of falconry club affiliates courtesy of NAFA. Consider attending meetings at falconry clubs even if you aren't fully certified to practice the sport yet. This is a great way of meeting people, learning about the sport, and creating relationships which can later transition into sponsorships. Falconers progress through three levels of proficiency as they train: Apprentice, General Falconer, and Master Falconer.As an apprentice you are required to have a sponsor for at least two years. Sponsors can be either General or Master falconers. Different falconry clubs and individuals may have different requirements of their potential apprentices — some sponsors might even require an...

Try to use chopsticks that are easy to use.

Winter is a great time for wearing longer skirts. They provide more warmth than shorter skirts, and they can still be fashionable. You can even go for an ankle-length skirt. Pick out a skirt that extends somewhere between your mid-calf and the top of your foot, a few inches above your ankle. Longer skirts will keep you warmer, but a skirt that’s too long will drag on the ground, getting wet and muddy. Shorter skirts are not going to provide much warmth. However, if you choose a fabric like wool, you are going to get a bit more warmth out of them. Denim, suede, and velvet can also offer more warmth. After that, you'll just need to pair them with something warm, such as leggings and a sweater. A knee-length skirt offers a bit of warmth (though not as much as a full-length skirt). In addition, you can wear it in a variety of situations.Knee-length skirts can be made to look professional, trendy, or flirty, depending on how you accessorize them. For instance, a pencil skirt paired with a button-up shirt and suit jacket can look professional, while a pencil skirt paired with a fancy top can serve for an evening out. Use a mini-skirt to create a chic look. Mini-skirts in winter seem to defy common sense. As a result, wearing one gives your style an edgy twist. Matching the skirt with suitable leg coverings will keep you both warm and fashionable. For instance, try a mini-skirt with patterned leggings and an oversized sweater. This advice may sound a little odd. However, layering skirts can provide you with extra warmth and look fashionable at the same time. Try a longer flowing skirt under a slightly shorter (less flowing) skirt, for instance, and it can be like having a petticoat on. Try a button-up dress with out any ruffles, and throw it over a ruffled skirt. Just button a few buttons at the top of the dress.

TL;DR in English: Try a long skirt. Choose skirts made with warm fabric. Choose a knee-length skirt for flexibility. Subvert expectations with a mini skirt. Double up on skirts.

With so many styling products available, there are plenty of options to help enhance your natural curl while fighting off unwanted frizz.  Products like gels, mousses, and curl-enhancing creams all contain ingredients called polymers, which coat the hair and “lock” your curl or wave into place. If your hair is fine and wavy then mousses are your best choice since they don't weigh hair down. If your hair is coarse and curly, gel or cream is recommended. Most hair sprays and mousses have a high alcohol content, which can cause the cuticle to swell up. Alcohol can also dry out your hair, making it look poofy and eventually leading to breakage. Try using alcohol-free products that work to reduce frizz, such as creams and serums. If your hair is damaged from dye, or just naturally dry, a boar-bristle brush can help to reduce frizz. This type of brush helps to gather the natural oils from your scalp and distribute them throughout your hair. It may seem counterintuitive, but wrapping flyaway strands around a curling iron can help set them in place and smooth out your hair. Be sure to completely dry your hair first and use the curling iron sparingly. Keep it on a low heat setting and don't hold the strands for very long. Whenever you use heat, you risk causing damage to your hair. Always apply a heat-protectant product first. A hot oil treatment is a great way to condition and strengthen your hair. This is a good idea for all hair types, so try it out with your friends. Choose a treatment with jojoba oil to help strengthen the cuticle and further prevent frizz. Warm up the oil then massage it into your hair and scalp.  If desired, you can put a shower cap over your hair and let the oil soak in for 30 minutes before washing it out. You can help the oil penetrate deeper into the hair shaft by applying heat with a hair dryer.

TL;DR in English: Let your natural shape work for you. Switch to alcohol-free products. Opt for a boar-bristle brush. Tame flyaways with a curling iron. Do a weekly hot oil treatment.

Whether you plan weeks in advance or the night before class, you should always have a schedule prepared for class time. Include several basic elements in each lesson plan, such as an opening warm-up, a short review session, and the main assignment.  Use an opening warm-up or ritual to help the students focus their attention and warm up, such as a few minutes of quiet contour drawing or sketching. Include a short review session at the beginning of each lesson to remind students of what they’ve learned already. During this time, ask students if they have any questions about previous lessons or techniques. The main assignment should take up the bulk of the class time. Start by introducing any new techniques that students will need to complete the assignment, then explain the assignment details before letting students begin working on it. Emphasize basic design principles, such as balance and composition, and the importance of having a foundational knowledge of art. If your students plan to attend college or enter the job market, they’ll benefit immensely from a background in art history or artistic skills.  Other important basic artistic skills include working with lines, shapes, colors, values, and textures. For example, your students will need a solid background in design principles for a college degree in graphic design, interior design, or visual communications.  They could also apply these skills in the workplace when designing a logo, making promotional brochures, or creating visually compelling emails. Whether you include some art history in every class period or dedicate a single class period to it, this side of art is crucial to creating a well-rounded class experience. To incorporate art history into your course, match an iconic art movement with the lessons you’ll be teaching. Summarize the style, its most popular artists, and its historical significance.  For example, you could introduce pop art with a lesson on color theory or portraiture.  You could pair a section on abstract art with a lesson on...

TL;DR in English: Plan out your lessons in advance to introduce new ideas and skills. Incorporate skills that students will use later in life. Ground your lessons by touching on some art history. Incorporate hands-on projects in each class. Assign homework each week. Plan field trips to introduce students to fine art and inspiration. Give encouraging feedback as well as 1-2 suggestions for improvement.

Moderate exercise is anything that makes you sweat after about 10 minutes and makes you breathe heavily, but doesn’t wind you. This can include walking, swimming, or jogging. You can split up your activity time or do it all at once, depending on your schedule.  Remember to drink water as you exercise to stay hydrated. You can lose weight faster by ramping up your moderate activity to 300 minutes per week.  While doing an exercise routine won’t necessarily boost your metabolism, it will help you lose weight.

TL;DR in English: Try to exercise moderately for at least 150 minutes per week.

With your tape measure, measure the distance from the top of the bare wall to the top left and right corners of the item you are making a hole for. Then measure from the top corners of the item to its bottom corners. Write these measurements down, then bring your tape measure to the sheet of drywall to make the same measurements, marking each corner in pencil.  This process works for any hole you need to cut: holes for windows, doors, outlets, or light fixtures will all use the same measuring process. Use a ruler and pencil to draw the sides of your hole by connecting your corner marks directly on the sheet of drywall. This will give you an accurate line to follow while you’re cutting the hole. To cut a circular hole, measure from the edge of the drywall to the center of the circle that you need to cut. Use a compass tool to mark out your circle in pencil to the correct size of the hole. For a hole for an electrical outlet or light switch, insert a keyhole saw into one of the sides of the hole that you marked in pencil. Move the saw gently back and forth in the drywall, applying slight pressure as you move it along the line to cut one side. Remove the saw when you’ve finished one side and repeat this step for all 4 sides of the hole.  Use caution when working around a stud if the drywall is already hung in place over your outlet or light fixture. If you have a difficult time inserting the saw into the drywall for the first part of the cut, make a small slit with a utility knife first and then insert the keyhole saw into that before you start sawing. If you have a larger job, consider using an oscillating tool. Be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves when you’re using a saw. For larger holes to fit around doors or windows, use a drywall saw to make your cuts. Start sawing at an edge of the drywall if your hole is at the edge and has only 3 sides. Move the saw back and forth, applying gentle pressure to cut through the drywall along your marked lines.  If your hole is in the middle of the drywall sheet,...

TL;DR in English: Measure and mark each corner of a square hole. Use a keyhole saw to cut an outlet-sized hole. Use a drywall saw for a window or door hole. Tap the piece in the middle of the hole lightly with a hammer to remove it. Smooth the edges of the hole with a rasp.

Upholstery can be made of many different materials or blends, and these have different cleaning requirements. Whether you can spot clean or deep clean will depend on the material. Every upholstery tag should have a letter code on it that indicates how to clean the material, and they mean:   W for water: use water-based cleaning solutions, such as soap and water. Fabrics with this tag are often made from materials like polyester, nylon, acetate, and olefin.   S for solvent: clean your upholstery with a solvent-based solution that doesn’t contain water, such as dry cleaning solution. Most upholstery with this code is made from natural fibers like cotton and denim, rayon, linen, silk and wool, velour, and damask.   SW: use solvent- and/or water-based cleaning solutions.  X: use neither solvent- nor water-based cleaning solutions; only clean it with vacuuming and light brushing to remove dirt and soil. Check to see if the cushions have removable and washable covers. If the covers are removable, wash them according to the type of material. Otherwise, clean the cushions following the same steps as the rest of the upholstery. With a spoon or spatula, pick up large food particles, solid spills, rocks or dirt, and any other large debris that has accumulated on your furniture. Use the upholstery attachment or soft brush to remove dirt and dust from the upholstery and both sides of the cushions. Work from left to right, and top to bottom in short, overlapping strokes. Use a long, thin attachment to vacuum dirt and debris from corners and crevices. Remove stubborn pet hair with a clothing brush or pet hair remover if necessary.

TL;DR in English: Check your upholstery tag. Remove the cushions. Remove large debris. Vacuum the furniture and cushions.

Purchase a shampoo and conditioner formulated for color-treated hair to help the color from fading so quickly. Try to go a few days between shampoos, since your hair color will fade slightly with every wash. Use cold water when shampooing, which is easier on color-treated hair. Try out dry shampoo, which can help you prolong the time between washings. These products, which you can pick up at beauty supply stores, can help you keep your newly-dyed locks looking vibrant. Pick up one or two brands and give them a try. There are easy-to-apply semi-permanent dye products you can look into to help preserve your color, as well. Bleaching and dyeing chemicals can be tough on hair. You may experience damage and breakage after going through the process. This is normal! To combat this, deep-condition at least once per week to restore much needed nutrients and moisture. Apply a rich and moisturizing hair mask every couple of weeks, as well. Heat styling tools can fade your hair color. Whenever possible, forego the blow dryer and let your hair air-dry. Use flat irons and curling irons as minimally as possible. When you do use them, apply a protective heat serum to your hair before proceeding. Use the lowest heat setting your styling tools will allow.

TL;DR in English: Keep shampooing to a minimum. Try a color-refreshing shampoo product. Deep-condition your hair weekly. Avoid heat styling as much as possible.

You can either check the phone book, use a search engine with keywords like "string instruments shop near me," or ask fellow musicians or your teacher for advice, but try to find some local music shops that you can visit easily. If you live in a very rural area or a small town where there are few or no shops like this at all, it may seem tempting to get online to do your shopping, but ideally you will want to see and test any instrument you want to purchase first. Make sure that the shop you go to has a good selection of cellos in various price ranges, both for students and professionals, present to try out. Take your time and visit multiple stores if you can. There's nothing wrong with going to several locations to price compare and make sure there's not some great, undiscovered cello just around the corner. Particularly for such a large investment, you don't want to rush into a decision. Find out what kinds of policies they have--can you rent-to-own? If you change your mind, do they have a trade-in policy in place? Do they allow you to finance or make payment plans? If so, find out additional details about these policies. Although you might feel like this is a decision you can make on your own, take your teacher or another trusted expert with you to the store; you will want them to examine the cellos with you, to listen to you play them, and to try them as well, so that you can be sure to pick a good cello. There may be things you will miss that they won't. Although most students are not aware of the practice, it is traditional within the industry that stores often give teachers a commission based on sales. This matters to you because the commission will almost assuredly be based on the amount of money the instrument costs. It could affect the advice that your teacher might give you for selecting a store or a particular brand.  Although there is nothing inherently unethical or illegal about this practice, you still deserve to know exactly what your money is paying for. Especially if you are hurting for...

TL;DR in English: Locate a string instrument shop. Visit multiple places. Don't go alone. Beware of commission fees. Find out the prices. Try to get a discount. Purchase additional supplies.

Don’t try to ask him to hang out in a cute way that may send the wrong message. Be direct with what you want to do while you hang out and don’t act desperate or needy since this could be read the wrong way. Ask him something like “Do you want to come with me to get lunch?” or “Would you like to grab a coffee on Thursday?” This way he knows what you want to do and you’re not flirting with him. If you want to stay casual, talk to a group of friends to do a large event. This will help you ease into hanging out together as friends. If he’s shy, he may be more open to hanging out with a group rather than have a one-on-one experience.  Use a group text or message to easily communicate with one another and figure out everyone’s schedule. Talk to the guy you want to hang out with in person as well as through the group chat. Have a night where you play board games or go out to dinner all together. This allows you to have fun and talk. Look for coffee shops or public events taking place in your area using Facebook. If this is your first time hanging out with him, find a place where you’ll be able to hold a conversation and get to know each other better.   Avoid seeing a movie since it’s not a place where you can talk. Check with your local museums to see if they offer free days or have any specials. Hanging out at your home may send the wrong message if you’re only looking to be friends. If the guy still thinks that he’s on a date, let him know in a polite way that won’t hurt his feelings. Be direct with him so he understands completely. Use phrases like “I’m just looking to be friends” or “I’m not looking for anyone to date right now” so he doesn’t feel upset.

TL;DR in English: Use casual, non-flirty language while asking him to hang out. Invite mutual friends if you don’t want to send the wrong message. Do something casual in a public place. Tell him that you don’t want it to be a date if he doesn’t get the hint.

Before you go to bed, spend time thinking about your crush. You can daydream about the kind of scenario you'd like to dream about, such as a romantic walk on the beach or a fun date with dinner and a movie. Just keep them firmly planted in your head, conjuring up the clearest mental picture you can imagine of them. This will help them be more present in your head and seem more realistic, which can influence the way they appear in your dream. When you are getting ready for bed, say your crush's name out loud. Even make it into a statement, such as: "I will dream about ____." You can even be more specific, using phrases such as: "I want to dream about going on a date with ____." or "I will dream about walking on the beach with ____." The firmer you are with your intentions, the more likely you are to dream about your crush. Now that you've thought about them for a little while and laid out what you want to happen in the dream, you can solidify the entire routine by looking at a picture of your crush. This will give you an even more exact picture of them in your head as you fall asleep. It will also give you something to keep your mind focused on while you are falling asleep. With their picture fresh in your mind and dream intentions laid out, make sure you think about them while you are falling asleep. You want their face and their name to be the last thing you think about before you fall asleep. This concentrates them in your subconscious mind and will help encourage your dreaming mind to recall their face and the scenario you laid out before you fell asleep. When you are first trying to control your dreams, you need to make sure that your crush is the main focus of your thoughts before bed. The daydreaming, the pictures, and the verbalized intentions lead up to your thoughts as you fall asleep. If you have already cleared your mind of any problems or issues you've dealt with throughout the day, then your mind will be more focused on your crush. This will fill your conscious and unconscious mind with him and...

TL;DR in English: Think about them. Say their name aloud. Look at a picture. Fall asleep. Practice.

This will determine whether or not you need to bleach it first. If you are going for a darker shade than your own, you do not need to bleach your hair and can go right on to the dyeing portion. If you are going a lighter shade, however, you will need to bleach first.  If you have light hair and are dyeing it darker, click here to continue. If your hair is blonde and you are dyeing it a cool color, like purple or blue, it may be a good idea to tone your hair first. Click here to learn more. Put on an old shirt you won't mind staining, then cover your shoulders with an old towel. Lay down some newspaper across your counter. If you want to, you can pull on a pair of plastic dyeing gloves as well. The bleach will be coming into contact with your scalp anyway, so the gloves are not absolutely necessary. Get a packet of hair bleach and 20 volume developer. Measure out 1 part bleach and 2 parts 20 volume developer. Mix the two together in a non-metal bowl with a non-metal spoon.  Prepare enough bleach to saturate your hair. Some bleach kits come with a little scoop. Use that to measure the bleach and developer. If you're wearing gloves, you can apply the bleach with your hands. Alternatively, use a tinting brush. Don't worry about being too meticulous here. Simply apply a light, even coat of bleach, then wait 15 minutes. The goal is to cover as much of your hair as quickly as possible.  This initial coat of bleach will ensure that your hair lightens evenly. Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap to protect your surroundings. If you have very light hair, you may only need to wait 5 to 10 minutes. Once you notice your hair starting to lighten, you're ready for the second coat of bleach. Do not rinse the bleach out. Simply take the shower cap off (if you put it on earlier), and apply a thick, generous coat of bleach. Use enough so that you can't see a single strand of hair sticking out of the bleach. Once you have it in, wait up to 30 minutes for the bleach to process.  Again, cover your hair with a plastic shower...

Set up a time for doing your homework. Do your homework. Study for tests and quizzes. Get your stuff ready before going to bed.

Avoid looking down at your board. You might lose balance or cause the front of your board to dip and throw you into the water. Avoid turning the actual board to steer as you’ll likely fall. Applying pressure to your toes (the front edge of the board) and your heels (the back edge of the board) will cause your board to carve through the water and turn. If you catch yourself raising the handle or holding it up to your chest, steadily move it back down. Holding the handle high up when you’re wakeboarding may cause you to fall. Falling into the water on a wakeboard can be painful, but it’s important not to panic. Once the driver has turned the boat around, signal to them that you’re OK. If you want to try again, wait for the driver to put the boat in neutral and then grab hold of the tow rope handle. Get back into starting position and signal to the driver that you’re ready to start.

TL;DR in English: Look straight ahead. Lean into your heels and toes to steer your board. Keep the tow rope handle in line with your hip. Wait for the boat driver to retrieve you if you fall.

If you're familiar with common phishing attempts, you'll be less likely to fall for them. University and government cybercrime or information security websites are good sources of information.  For example, the Berkeley Department of Information Security and Policy has an archive of phishing messages available at https://security.berkeley.edu/resources/phishing/phishing-examples-archive. You can also find news and information at https://www.antiphishing.org/, the official website of the Anti-Phishing Working Group. A legitimate email typically will have a specific subject line that gives you a basic understanding of what the email will say. Phishing emails, on the other hand, use vague phrases such as "Urgent Reminder" or "Your Account at Risk" to alarm you.  Phishing email subject lines may also start with the abbreviation "Re:" to make you think the email is a response to an email you've sent. However, if you look at the email thread you can clearly see that there are no other emails. The subject line also may use special characters, emojis, or extra spaces. These don't serve any real purpose other than to draw your attention to the email by making the subject line look different from others in your inbox. Particularly if an email comes from a business, government agency, or other organization, the sender typically proofreads carefully before sending it. Obvious spelling and grammatical errors are a red flag that the email may not be legitimate. Also pay attention to the way language is used. Phishing emails frequently use words incorrectly or include awkward turns of phrase that no one would actually say. Scammers typically try to make the email address a phishing email is sent from look official or legitimate if you just glance at it. However, upon closer inspection, you'll note that something is amiss.  Instead of ending in ".com," as it should, the email address may end differently. They may include "com" in the domain to fool you. For example, you might get a phishing email from "airbnbcom.work"...

TL;DR in English: Read information on the latest phishing attempts. Check if the subject line is vague or oddly formatted. Look for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Examine email addresses carefully. Treat "urgent" requests with suspicion. Recognize improper use of copyright or trademark notices.

If striking up conversations with people you don't know tends to cause you a lot of anxiety, try to remember that you are not alone. A lot of people get nervous in social situations, but that doesn't mean that they avoid them altogether!  The only way to get past your anxiety is to keep putting yourself in new situations that challenge you. Keep in mind that no one else knows that you're not confident. If you swallow your fears and pretend to be confident, no one will have any idea that you were anxious in the first place. If you will be attending an organized social gathering, try to find out who will be there ahead of time. The more you know about the other guests, the better prepared you will be to converse with them.  If it seems appropriate, you could research the invitees to a corporate event online and read about their recent projects. If you're attending a dinner party at a friend's house, ask her about the other people who'll be there. If you can't find any specific information on the people you're likely to meet, think about what they are likely to be interested or involved in.Use this information to think about questions you might ask them to break the ice. For example, if you are attending a social event at you university, you could ask people to tell you about their most interesting class. If you're worried about not having anything to say to someone, one of the best things you can do is to read the news and be informed about current events. If you know what's going on in the world and in your local community, you'll always have something to talk about, even if it's something as mundane as the storm you're expecting next week. Avoid getting political with people you don't know. Some people don't want to talk about sensitive subjects, while others might be ready to get into a heated debate. This may sound easier said than done, but you really just need to be passionate about something in order to have a great conversation about it. Whether you're an avid world traveler or a movie buff, chances are...

TL;DR in English: Stay engaged. Do your research. Stay current. Be interesting. Try the slow talk technique.

Before you drive, take the time to adjust the driver’s seat to make sure that your feet reach the pedals comfortably. Sit up straight and make sure that you have one heel on the floor and the the ball of your other foot pressing against the pedals. Be sure that you feel comfortable with the positioning of the seat to ensure that you drive confidently. Make sure that your knees are not excessively bent when you are sitting up straight, which can affect your ability to properly operate the foot pedals while driving. It is crucial that you adjust your rear-view mirrors before driving. Look at the center mirror and adjust it so that you can see the entire rear-view window from the driver’s seat. Adjust each side mirror so that you can just barely see the car when you lean in the mirror’s direction. Check the settings of your mirrors before driving by sitting in your parked car and observing how passing cars appear in your mirrors. Turn off your phone or put it on silent to avoid having calls, texts, or alerts startle you. Avoid driving with anyone who might distract or upset you. Leave your radio or iPod off to keep a clear head on the road. Adjust the temperature settings in the car before you start driving. If the heat or air conditioning run too high while you drive, they may take your focus away from the road. Avoid playing with climate settings while you drive to avoid a possible accident.

TL;DR in English: Position your seat. Adjust the rear-view mirrors. Remove distractions. Set the temperature.

To help make sure you have time to do all of your work outside of school, make sure you have time set aside every day to do homework. It needs to be long enough so that you can get all of your work done, and maybe even have your parents check it for mistakes.  During your homework time, make sure you don’t have any distractions. Turn off the TV, video game, cell phone, anything that will take your attention away from your homework. This can also mean your parents, siblings, or pets, really anything that might distract you from working. If you aren’t paying attention, that makes it more likely you’ll do something wrong. One thing that will really help is to make sure this homework time happens at the same time every day. This will help you get into a rhythm of doing your work at the same time, so you’ll always know when you should be doing homework. Don’t forget to think about other activities when you plan your homework time. It’s okay to do other things like soccer practice, dance lessons, or even playdates. Just remember that you need to make sure you have time to do school work in addition to those things. Your teacher will probably give you homework, assignments you need to do after school. The goal of these assignments is to help you learn the material, so making sure it gets done before school will help you learn and get better grades.  You’ll probably get lots of different assignments covering different subjects. When you get home, it is a good idea to list all of your assignments, and think about how much time you need to spend on them and the order you should do them. Along with doing worksheets and reading books, this can mean other things, such as making time to practice an instrument if you are in the band. Just because you don’t have something to turn in doesn’t mean it isn’t important to get done. When your teacher tells you that you will have a test or quiz, make sure you prepare. Read your notes, any books you have been given. The goal of tests and quizzes is to see how well you understand the...

The Buddhist teachings include the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment.  Attend a Buddhist temple and improve your mediation technique.  Think carefully about Buddhist teachings and understand how they relate to your everyday experience. Ordination within the Buddhist community is a challenging endeavor, and the vows are taken for life.  If you’ve only read a few books on Buddhism and have a vague understanding of its teachings, you should not become ordained. After learning a bit about Buddhism, dive deeper with a learned Buddhist.  In Buddhist tradition, it is important to have a teacher or guide to help you realize and understand the truths contained within Buddhist practice and law.  Your spiritual guide will likely be another monk or nun, and they must be someone who can grant permission to ordain you. Taking refuge refers to the act of formally professing before a member or members of the Buddhist clergy to place your faith in the Buddha, the Sangha (the Buddhist community), and the Dharma.  Five additional vows you must take include include commitments to remain free of lying, intoxication, stealing, inappropriate sexual behavior, and harming other living things. Going on spiritual retreats within the Buddhist community will give you a flavor of what life is like for a nun or monk.  Talk to the nuns or monks you go on the retreat with, and begin practicing celibacy.  You should also adopt the monk’s diet of vegetarianism during this time. If you travel to Asia, you might be able to partake in a part-time ordination program where you can live as a monk or nun for a few days or weeks during the year. If you are ordained outside the Buddhist community where you intend to stay, you will be taken on as a guest monk at the monastery or convent.  The monastic community will give you advice on Buddhist practice and evaluate your understanding of Buddhism.  After about two to three months, your monastery or nunnery will decide to accept you. Attain permission from...

TL;DR in English: Familiarize yourself with Buddhist teachings and practice. Have a spiritual mentor. Take refuge and vows. Go on retreats. Join a monastic community. Undergo the ordination ceremony. Contribute to the religious community.

Act the part by investing in clothing that makes you feel like a grown-up. Trade in your band shirts for collared button downs, go for a nice blazer instead of a denim jacket, and invest in a nice pair of shoes.  Go shopping with an adult and ask for their opinion on your selections. Look for clothing that is high quality and well made. Fast fashion, or trendy styles may look good at the moment, but it's a smarter move to invest in pieces that will last you longer than a few weeks.  Put some effort into your appearance by doing your hair, making sure your clothes are clean, and putting cologne or perfume on. Messy living spaces can make you feel like you are living in a college dorm room, or a kid’s room. Clean up the sink full of dirty dishes or the piles of laundry lying around your room or apartment. Reduce clutter by re-organizing your space to be more functional. Focus on presenting a clean, organized living space. Look at How to Organize Your Room and How to Clean Your House for tips and tricks for keeping your space clean. A mentor is someone who gives help and advice to a less experienced person. A good mentor will help you build your self-confidence and self-worth. They will teach you new skills or help you improve the skills you already have, and act as a role model or someone you can look up to.  Reach out to your guidance counselor at school, or to your community leaders. You can also look for a mentor in a family member or a close family friend. Look at programs like the Boys and Girls Club, which connects young people to role models and mentors in their community. This could be cooking, driving, or even crocheting. Focus on building your self-confidence by learning more about a skill or activity that interests you.  Obtaining your driver's license is a big step to becoming more responsible and independent. You no longer have to depend on someone else, such as your parents, to drive you around or adhere to someone else’s schedule when you need to get to a date or an important meeting.  Even if...

Start by providing the passage you are studying in full. Include the literal translation of the passage and the context of the passage. Specify where it appears in the Bible. You can also mention the literary genre, such as whether the passage is a hymn or a parable. Your thesis statement will act as a guide for the exegesis. It should sum up your key points or ideas in one sentence. Place the thesis statement at the end of the introduction section. For example, you may have a thesis statement like, “In this Bible passage, one learns about the value of a good foundation for inner and outer growth.” Do a close reading of the passage, focusing on the grammar and syntax. You can also discuss the language and sentence structure in the passage. Note the literary genre of the passage and how this affects the meaning of the passage. For example, if you were writing about Matthew 13:1-8, you may discuss the language and sentence structure of the parable. You may also talk about how the passage uses nature as a metaphor for personal growth. Think about the key themes and ideas in the passage. Consider how the passage reflects common teachings in the Bible. Discuss the theological significance of the passage. Ask yourself, “How can I apply this passage to my life?” “What does this passage say about my faith?” You can also discuss the broader context of the passage, including its historical or social significance. Provide context around how the passage has been interpreted by others, such as theological scholars and thinkers. Use direct quotes from your research in the paper to strengthen your argument. Lean on reputable sources to help make your paper stronger. Include all the proper citations for the sources in the paper. If you are writing the exegesis for a class, ask the instructor which citation style they prefer and use it in your essay. Conclude the paper by rephrasing your thesis statement. Include any closing remarks about the passage you'd like to include. Reflect on the passage as a whole. Do not add any new...

While your oven is preheating, ready your pan. For this method you will need a baking sheet that has many small holes or slots and a lip that will keep all of the beans in the pan. These pans can be found at any kitchen supply store. If you don’t want to buy a new pan but happen to have an old baking sheet with a lip lying around, you can actually make your own roasting sheet. Take your pan and use a ⅛ inch drill bit to carefully drill holes into the sheet. The holes should be ½ inch away from each other and small enough that none of the beans will fall through them. Pour the beans onto the sheet so that they lie in one layer over the entire pan. The beans should be close together but should not be overlapping. Once the oven is preheated, place the baking sheet with the beans onto the middle rack of the oven. Listening for a cracking or popping noise. This is the water contained in the beans evaporating. The popping noise signifies that the beans are roasting and darkening. Stir them around every few minutes to help them develop an even roast.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 450 °F (232 °C). Lay the beans out on the pan. Roast the beans for 15 to 20 minutes.

Get the clean shower drain body and place it into the drain. Use your hands to twist the drain body clockwise and tighten it as much as you can. When you can’t screw the drain body any more, use a hammer and a screwdriver again to further twist the drain body into place. Fitting the drain body causes the caulk to spread slightly, so it’s important to remove this excess caulk before it dries. Get 2-3 sheets of regular kitchen paper towels and use these to remove any excess caulk. It’s best to wipe around the whole opening of the shower drain with the paper towels to ensure that you don’t miss any caulk that has oozed out. You can also use an old rag to wipe away the excess caulk. Push the strainer back onto the drain body and make sure that it sits flat. You may need to hit it lightly with a hammer to ensure that it’s in place. When the strainer is in the right place, use a screwdriver to put the screws back in. Make sure that you tighten the screws well. It’s important for the new caulk to cure and set properly before you use the shower again, as otherwise, this might damage the caulk. Read the label of the caulk carefully to check how long your specific product takes to dry.

TL;DR in English: Screw the drain body back on. Wipe the caulk away off the edges with a paper towel. Screw the shower strainer back on to the drain body. Let the new caulk cure for approximately 24 hours.

If your dog is showing signs of severe poisoning, do not induce vomiting. Take your dog to your vet right away. Look for the following signs indicating severe poisoning:  Difficulty breathing Looking depressed Having seizures Slow heart rate Unconsciousness If possible, get your dog to vomit within about two hours after it has ingested something toxic. After two hours, the toxin will have moved into the intestines, making induction of vomiting no longer effective.

Once you are off the board, you will need to start creating momentum to start rotating backwards. Push your arms further back behind your head. This will arch your back, opening up your chest and pointing it towards the ceiling. This movement will start to rotate the body. If you focus carefully on what is in front of you, you should notice you are spinning because your view will be changing. As you ascend upwards to face the ceiling, bring your knees towards your chest. Keep your toes pointed and your back straight. If you keep proper form, you are more likely to execute the reverse dive. A common misconception about the tuck position is that your arms should be hugging your knees. In fact, your arms should be pulled in at the sides of your body. Place your hands over the mid-part of your shins. Allow the momentum of the turn to move you backwards. When your feet are above and you pointing toward the ceiling, let go of your shins. Begin to extend your legs upwards to point vertically. After you let go of your shins, circle your arms out over your head to hug your ears. Bring your hands together and clasp them. Keep your arms straight and tight with your head planted firmly between them.  “Circling out” your arms keeps them in balance and prevents the movement of your arms from disturbing your body position. Your arms should be in line with your body when you enter the water. Keep your head still but focus your eyes on the direction you are moving. When you see the surface of the water clearly, prepare to dive in. Close your eyes and keep your muscles tight and arms and legs fully extended as you enter.

TL;DR in English: Extend your arms past your ears as you move into the air. Bring your knees to your chest as you jump. Place your hands on your shins as you do the tuck. Extend your legs above you vertically. Raise your arms and clasp your hands. Look at the water and dive in.

and disinfect the cage once a week. To thoroughly clean the cage, remove all the bedding and make a solution of bleach and water. Spray the solution inside the cage and wipe it down. Then rinse the cage with water multiple times to remove the bleach residue and let it air-dry completely before putting fresh bedding in.  You don’t have to disinfect the cage unless your animals are dealing with an illness, such as ringworm. Bleach may cause irritation to your guinea pig’s feet, eyes, and respiratory tracts.

. Form an adjustable ring with your yarn, more commonly referred to as a "magic ring." At the end of the ring, make one chain stitch to secure the ring in place. . Work ten single crochets into the center of the magic ring. Join the final single crochet with the top of the first single crochet with a slip stitch.  If necessary, tug on the ends of the magic ring to close it into a tight circle. This completes the first round. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Make two single crochets into each stitch of the previous round, joining the last and first at the top with another slip stitch.  This creates an increase, thereby enlarging your circle. You should have a total of 20 crochet stitches in this second round. After you finish this round, compare it to the size of the button. If you are on the right track, you should need to make another front round still to cover the front of the button. Make one chain stitch to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first stitch of the previous round, then single crochet twice in the next stitch. Continue all the way around the button, joining the first and last single crochets of this round with another slip stitch.  You should have 30 stitches in this round. By now, your button cover should be about the same size as your button. If it is slightly larger, that will work too, since the excess can wrap around the back of the button. Chain stitch once to move onto the next round. Single crochet once in the first five stitches of the previous round, then make a single crochet decrease over the next two stitches from the previous round. Repeat all the way around, joining the last and first single crochets with a slip stitch.  You should have 26 stitches in this round. The piece should begin to curl under into the shape of a bowl.

Since you're using a liquid to clean the screen in this method, it's important to turn off the computer and unplug it from the outlet. The ideal solution is plain distilled water, which contains no chemicals and is gentle on the screen. If heavier cleaning is needed, a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and distilled water can also be effective.  Make sure you use plain white vinegar, not apple cider vinegar or any other kind. Distilled water is better than tap water because it's chemical-free. Manufacturers no longer recommend using any cleaners with alcohol, ammonia or any strong solvents on LCD screens. This is the type of spray bottle that you push from the top to get a fine mist, similar to a perfume bottle. Pour some of the solution into the spray bottle and screw on the top. Don't use this to spray on the screen itself, however. A static-free, fiber-free cloth works best. Remember not to use regular cloth, since this could scratch the screen. Do not soak the cloth; you just want to get it moist, which is the purpose of using the atomizer bottle to wet it.   A wet cloth can drip or run when cleaning the screen and the solution can weep behind the bezel and permanently damage your screen. Try applying the solution to just one corner of the cloth at a time, to make sure you don't get it too wet. Rapid circular movements generally eliminate streaks. Apply a gentle and even pressure to the cloth. Use only enough pressure to keep the cloth in contact with the screen. Take care not to press your fingers into the cloth or screen, since applying too much force when cleaning the screen can permanently damage the LCD matrix and render your screen unusable.  Hold the screen toward the very top or very bottom to avoid re-smudging it as you work. You may need to pass over the screen multiple times before all the smudges have been removed. You may also need to re-dampen the cloth as you work, depending on how many passes over the screen you need to make.

TL;DR in English: Turn the computer off and unplug the power adapter and battery. Create a gentle cleaning solution. Put the solution in a small atomizer bottle. Apply a minimal amount of the solution to a microfiber cloth. Wipe the cloth against the screen in a circular motion.

If people in your life have made suggestions about your habits, take those suggestions into consideration. Remember that true change comes from the inside so also listen to your intuition and honor how you feel as well as feedback you have received from people in your life. You have to be committed to making change and building self-control in order to truly change your behaviors. Some examples might be smoking, eating, work habits, productivity, alcohol, controlling your temper, shopping or spending money, etc. We all have areas of our life that could use more discipline and self-control, so remember to be easy on yourself and take things slowly. Look at your list and choose one thing you want to work on. Changing habits takes time, and building self-control takes effort. Honor your energy and set realistic goals that are achievable.  Remember that you’re only in control of your own behavior while choosing. For instance, don’t choose something like “having a better relationship with my parents” since that requires effort from your parents as well. A goal such as “improve my communication habits with my parents” is better because it hinges on your behavior alone. Be realistic about what kind of changes you can make that will fit into your life, your time, and your ability. If you try to change everything at once, as ambitious as this may be, you can risk self-sabotaging your efforts and giving up. Educate yourself as much as you can about how others have built self-control in similar situations. Ask friends or loved ones who have made similar changes in their lives. Do an internet search about the specific thing you are trying to change. For example, if overeating is the behavior you have decided to change, find books about impulsive eating (or binge eating) and gather as many helpful strategies as you can about how to build self-control around eating. Start a journal just for eating, for example, and write down or keep track of as many strategies as you come across. This gives you more options to try to...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of the habits or behaviors you want to control. Choose the main behavior from the list you’d like to control. Research the behavior. Take an honest inventory of yourself. Set realistic goals. Mark your progress. Motivate yourself. Channel the energy into positive behaviors. Develop new hobbies. Build yourself up. Use your support system. Reward yourself. Learn when to seek help.

In some elevators, simply pressing your floor and holding it will do the trick. You have to hold the button all the way to your floor. When you get on the elevator, press the "Close Door" button. Often, this button will be two triangles pointing in towards each other. Continue holding the "Close Door" button as you push your floor. In some elevators, this combination will give you an express ride.  This combination often works on Otis, Desert, and Dover elevators. Note that sometimes the "Close Door" button is just a placebo for impatient riders, so this trick may not work. In some elevators, you can cancel floors that have already been pressed. Of course, if people see you do so, they will probably not be very happy. Or, they may press their floor button again.  The simplest method is to double press the button, which works in Mitsubishi Electric. In other brands, such as Fujitec, pressing it five times works. Another method is to hold the "Open Door" button while pressing the floor button twice. Some people suggest that you can use your foot to keep the door from opening. Simply put your foot on the middle of the elevator door, covering the edges of the door. In theory, the sole of your shoe will keep the door from opening on floors. If you're cozy with your building manager, you may be able to get the secret elevator code from him or her. However, you may need to promise to use it only for good.

TL;DR in English: Press and hold your floor. Use the "Close Door" button. Cancel other highlighted floors. Use your foot. Ask your building manager.

Oftentimes, asking your parents directly can be stressful. If your parents are often argumentative and shut down discussion, try writing a letter. You can state your case, explaining why you want a PlayStation. You should also state why you think you're responsible enough to have a game console.  Start the letter by directly stating what you want. Open with something like, "Dear Mom and Dad, I would really like a PlayStation for the living room." Proceed to explain why. It can be something like, "I work really hard at school and do a lot of extracurriculars. At the end of the day, after finishing my homework, I would like to have something I can use to relax."  Do you have anything else that can help you make your case? For example, maybe you have some money saved up. You can say something like, "I have saved up almost $100 from my birthday money and my allowance. I would be more than willing to put this money towards a PlayStation."  You should also think of any potential responses your parents may come up with and think of a counterargument. For example, maybe your mother is the type to worry about you wasting your time with video games. Write something like, "I know you probably worry about me spending all my time playing video games. If you allowed me to get a PlayStation, I would be happy to have you and Dad decide how long I can use it each day."  End the letter respectfully. Thank your parents for taking the time to read it and ask them to get back to you. For example, "I hope you'll take this all into consideration. Thank you for reading this letter. Let me know what you think. Love, Tara." Use holidays and your birthday to ask for a PlayStation. Your parents may be more willing to indulge you on a special occasion. Your parents will be buying you gifts during these times, so tell them all you want is a PlayStation console. If they express concern, you can promise to use it responsibly and allow them to veto any games they feel are violent or inappropriate. Many games are designed for adults. A lot of...

TL;DR in English: Make your case in a letter. Put a PlayStation on your wish list. Make your parents want to use the PlayStation as well.

Fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 full with sliced onions and add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil or butter for every 1 pound (450 g) of onions. Put the lid on the cooker and turn it to low. Slow-cook the onions for 10 hours so the onions brown and soften. If you remember, you can stir the onions occasionally to help them cook evenly, but it's fine if you simply leave them to cook without stirring.

TL;DR in English:

Squeeze the bottom of the pot your lavender plant is in. This helps loosen the lavender and its dirt ball from the smaller pot. Tilt the lavender sideways and pull gently on the plant’s base. With the loosening of the previous step, the lavender plant should ease out of its old pot.  The dirt should be solid enough that it feels like it will come out in one chunk if handled gently. Handle your pot-less lavender gently to avoid breaking the dirt and damaging the roots as well as the foliage above the dirt. Now you’re ready to pot your lavender plant in the new pot! Nestle it into the dirt that is already in the pot for security. The base of the plant should sit 3-inches below the rim of the pot. Gently break the surface of the lavender dirt ball with your fingers to release some of the roots.  Root binding happens when a plant has been in a small pot too long and the roots rival the dirt for space. This makes the dirt hard and unless the dirt and roots are loosened, the roots will not expand in their new pot and the plant will soon die.  Most potted plants won’t be root bound, but it’s a good idea to loosen up the roots and dirt a little to ensure the roots get a healthy start. Fill it only up to the top of the dirt ball around the lavender plant’s roots. Don’t pack the soil around the Lavender plant. The soil needs to stay loose for effective drainage. Sprinkle the fertilizer on the soil and then scratch the fertilizer into the soil with a fork.  Timed-release fertilizer can be found at any gardening or farm store and will release fertilizer as the plant is watered. An example of a timed-release pellet fertilizer is alfalfa pellets. They are organic and contain Triacontanol, which is a growth stimulant.  Some soils come with fertilizers like alfalfa pellets already mixed in, so you may not need to do this. Turkey grits or white landscaping pebbles work best for mulching lavenders. Lay the mulch on the soil in a 2-inch thick layer up to the base of the plant.  This mulch is great for preventing rot in the...

TL;DR in English: Remove the Lavender plant from its current pot. Place the lavender plant in the center of the pot. Fill the rest of the pot with your potting mix. Spread a half cup timed-release fertilizer over your potting soil. Mulch your lavender plant.

Even if you have a covered play area in your yard, never leave your small dog alone outside. Your dog may find a way out of its enclosure and wander out into full view of a bird of prey. Retractable leashes allow your dog to get too far away from you. Purchase a standard leash that is no more than 6 feet (1.8 m) long. And never let your dog off the leash while outside of your yard, even if you’ve never seen predators near your home. Be on the lookout for trees, both near your home and along your walk route, where birds of prey have nested. These nests may be up in the branches or inside tree cavities. Don’t allow your dog off its leash, even in your yard, if a bird of prey has nested nearby.  Wait until the eggs have hatched and the birds have left the nest before you let your dog off the leash outside. In the U.S., birds of prey are federally protected, so do not attempt to disturb or remove an active nest. A Raptor Shield is like a dog coat that you sling over your dog’s back and clip under its stomach. The canvas material makes it impossible for a bird’s talons to latch onto your dog’s skin and carry it away. Put this on your dog whenever it’s outside, particularly if it will be off leash.

TL;DR in English: Supervise your dog whenever it’s outside. Keep your dog on a non-retractable leash during walks. Keep your dog away from any trees with nests. Purchase a Raptor Shield for your dog to wear outside.

It’s common for English speakers to see Latin words and phrases italicized, such as in medias res (“in the middle of things”) or in loco parentis (“in the place of a parent”). However, Latin words and phrases that have entered common usage are usually not italicized -- including i.e. and e.g. To indicate a separate clause, you can either insert a comma before "i.e." or "e.g." or you can use parentheses, both of which are shown in the examples above. If you use parentheses, open them right before the "e.g." or "i.e." and close them after you have given your example or alternate definition. For American English usage, you should always put a comma right after both "i.e." and "e.g." as shown in the examples above. For British English usage, do not put a comma right after either "i.e." or "e.g." If you’re just writing for yourself or in an informal situation, you may not have any specific requirements. However, if you’re writing in a particular academic discipline, or in a particular profession (such as journalism), you will probably be asked to write in accordance with the relevant style manual. For example, APA Style, the official style of the American Psychological Association, is used widely in the social sciences and in professions like journalism. APA states that you should always put a comma after e.g. and i.e. when using them: “Some sources (e.g., Janet, 2010; Jeff, 2015) argue that mushrooms are tasty” and “There are three meals in the day (i.e., breakfast, lunch, and dinner)”. If you use a sentence that includes i.e. and a parenthetical comment, make sure that the restatement is directly equivalent to what you said first: you should be able to swap them out without a loss of meaning.  The sentence “His favorite type of sandwich is an open-faced sandwich (i.e., one that uses only one piece of bread rather than two)” represents correct usage of i.e. The sentence “His favorite type of sandwich is an open-faced sandwich (i.e., a panini or similar type of sandwich)” represents incorrect usage, because “a...

TL;DR in English: Italicize only if specifically asked. Use parentheses or commas with both. Determine any style manual requirements. Ensure that what you write after i.e. means the same as what precedes it. Try replacing the abbreviations with their meaning.

If you were dating or if she was your friend, decide if you still want her in your life. Either way, you might still be able to make her feel guilty, but it's best to figure out whether you still want her or not. Decide what she did wrong. Admit to any part you may have had in the conflict and focus on the specifics of what she did to offend you. Is she mean to everyone or is she only mean to you? Give yourself time to recover from the way she treated you. Stop talking to her. Avoid her at school, work, or wherever you normally see her. If you happen to run into her, walk past her and pretend she isn't even there. Focus on healing yourself without relying on time to do it for you. Surround yourself with friends that support you. Talk to your friends about how she hurt you. Give yourself a support group so you don't have to face her alone before you are ready. Before you confront her, make sure you have a clear idea of what you are going to say. If your thoughts toward her are very chaotic, take time to write down the specific things that are hurting you.

TL;DR in English:


Use a wide toothed comb to brush all your hair out. Then take the comb and comb down a section of hair at the side of your face until halfway down the hair shaft.  Combing out your hair separates all the strands so that you can more evenly spray your hair. If you have short hair,

Brush your hair out with a wide toothed comb. Spray gray hairspray at the top of your hair. Run the comb to the tips and spray. Comb and spray the rest of your hair.

The quickest way to get rid of a raspy voice is to talk. Although your voice will sound gritty and unpleasant at first, it will soon even out and you’ll soon find yourself speaking in a normal voice.  If you don’t want others to hear you talking in a raspy voice, try talking to yourself, talking to your pets, or even talking or singing in the shower. Alternately, even if you wait a few hours to begin speaking in the morning, most of the raspy sound will have left your voice. Your voice will sound the hoarsest during the first hour or two after waking up. If your vocal chords have dried out overnight, you’ll likely wake up with a raspy, dry voice in the morning. To get rid of the raspy quality as soon as possible, have a large drink of water, coffee, or even orange juice as soon as possible. The liquid will clear any phlegm or liquids that have built up in your throat.   Vocalists are often advised to squeeze a lemon slice into a glass of water to help “wake up” their vocal cords. Avoid drinking milk in the morning, as it is a relatively thick liquid and will not clear your throat well. If your throat and vocal cords are coated with mucus (which often produces a raspy voice), try clearing your throat to remove the thick, phlegmy coating. This will help your voice to quickly return to its normal quality. Humming will “wake up” your voice by causing your vocal cords to vibrate and shake off any mucus coating them. When you hum correctly, you should feel you lips and nose gently vibrating. Try humming for 30 seconds, and then saying a few words. See if your voice has improved. If not, hum some more.

TL;DR in English: Start talking shortly after you wake up. Drink water or coffee when you get up. Clear your throat gently. Hum softly to help clear your throat.

This type of surgery causes less damage to the surrounding tissue and requires a shorter recovery period. However, there is a risk of hernia recurrence. This procedure uses a tiny camera and miniaturized surgical equipment to repair the hernia using small incisions. The hernia is repaired by sewing the hole to close the abdominal wall. A surgical mesh is also used to patch the hole. This type of surgery is done for hernias where a portion of the intestines has moved down into the scrotum. A part of the scrotum or groin may be incised to retrieve and reposition the intestine. Then, it is closed using stitches. Open surgery requires a longer recovery process. But, the patient can resume his normal daily activities six weeks after surgery. Hernia surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. The surgeon repositions the herniated tissue and, if strangulation has occurred, removes the oxygen-starved part of the organ. The damaged muscle wall will frequently be repaired with synthetic mesh or tissue.

TL;DR in English: If possible, get a laparoscopic surgery. If you have intestinal movement, you will need open surgery. Remember that you will be under local or general anesthesia during the surgery.

To make a professional quality silhouette, you'll need to take a little time to effectively select the object you're silhouetting. Since some of these techniques require deleting or altering the original image, it is best to just duplicate the layer now and leave the original with it's little padlock, preventing you from ruining it. To duplicate a layer, simply right-click it in the layers panel, then select "Duplicate Layer..." The Pen tool is, in many ways, Photoshop's most powerful too, though it takes getting used to. Select it from the menu, or press P, then click to create little points around your outline. When you complete the entire selection, you'll have a "Path," or solid line around your entire image. When done, simply right-click on the path and choose "Make Selection."  If you're working with a very curvy shape, try the "Free Form Pen Tool," found by clicking and holding the Pen Tool in the toolbox. The pen tool is perfectly precise, but only if you know how to handle it. Take some time to experiment with it, especially with curves. It will trace the best shape for you, with practice. For example, say you've got a woman standing against a mostly blue sky, and you want to silhouette her. Instead of selecting her, you can select the sky behind her, removing it from the layer. Simply use the Magic Wand to select the background, the delete it away to leave just the silhouetted object. Change the tolerance at the top bar to make the Wand more or less precise. A higher number (75-100) selected a wider range of colors while a low tolerance (like 1-10) will only select very similarly colored pixels. The most intuitive tools for creating selections, these generally require a steady hand and some patience, though they are easy to use. For all of them, simply click and drag around the object with your tool to create a selection. You can add more to a selection by holding Ctrl/Cmd when you click, or subtract from a selection by holding Alt/Opt.   Quick Selection: Looks like a paintbrush with a circular...

TL;DR in English: Duplicate your original image layer to get a spare copy for your silhouette. Use the Pen Tool (P) for the most exact, perfect outlines to make silhouettes from. Use the Magic Wand (W) tool to separate a simple 1-2 color background. Use the remaining selection tools to trace out simple objects. Ctrl-Click on a layer from the layers menu to automatically select it. Use "Refine Edge" to get the perfect selection.

Use a wide toothed comb to brush all your hair out. Then take the comb and comb down a section of hair at the side of your face until midway down the hair shaft.  Combing out your hair separates all the strands so that you can more evenly spray your hair. If you have short hair, you don’t need to comb through your hair. Still holding the comb in your hair, spray the top of the section of hair you are combing lightly and evenly with gray or silver hairspray. If you have short hair, you can simply spray your entire head evenly and with the hairspray, building it up in layers if you want a more dramatic effect.  You can find temporary gray or silver spray color at most beauty stores and Halloween stores. Silver spray may be more common but it also may have a metallic effect, so it’s best to check the packaging or consult a store associate before purchasing a temporary silver hairspray. Hairspray is very effective at coloring your hair, but it may make your hair stiff depending on how much you use. Once you have sprayed the top of the strand of hair you are combing, run the comb down your hair shaft and spray to the tips of your hair. Repeat the spraying process on your whole head, partially combing a section of your hair, spraying it from the top of your head down to the comb, then combing out the rest of the section and spraying. Use a mirror for the back of your head and apply the spray until you are satisfied with the result. Colored hairspray usually lasts from 1-3 shampoos.
