Determine your overhead. Price your goods or services appropriately. Brand yourself. Use good business practices. Dress the part.

For adult’s and children’s parties, there may be a theme or dress code for the party that you should mention to your guests. Most auxiliary and sensitive information can be included in the last line of the invitation before the RSVP. Dress codes might include:  Black-tie if the party is happening at a fine dining restaurant or upscale club A theme if the party is a costume party. Casual if the party will be taking place at someone’s home. There are several types of parties that require guests to come prepared with certain things, and the invitation should indicate this. Examples include:  Pool parties, to which guests should bring swimming attire and towels. Sleep-overs, to which guests may need to bring pillows and blankets. Excursion parties, in which case guests may need tents, sleeping bags, food, and other gears. Hobby parties, where guests may need old clothes, paint brushes, or other craft supplies. Some parties lend themselves to plus ones, whereas others simply don’t. For the types of parties where you don’t want guests bringing extras (such as friends, siblings, or significant others), be sure to note this on the invitation. You can say things like:  “No siblings, please!” “Please note there is no room for plus ones” “You're invited to an exclusive and intimate party,” which can be worked into the what portion of the invitation. This is especially important if guests are expected to bring something to the party, such as with a pot luck. Otherwise, you can mention if you plan to serve a meal, snacks, or just drinks, and that way guests will know if they should come hungry, peckish, or full. You can also use this time to ask guests to inform you about any food allergies or dietary requirements that they have. Ask them to let you know when they RSVP. For kid’s birthdays, you may want other parents to stay, or you may prefer that they drop their children off and leave. In case you don’t want parents to stay, you can simply say “Please pick your child up at 5:00 p.m.,” or whatever time the party will...

TL;DR in English: Mention the dress code. Ask guests to pay attention to special instructions. Indicate if guests shouldn’t bring additional guests. Inform guests of the food situation. Indicate if parents are expected to leave or stay at a child’s birthday. Mention if it’s a surprise.

The majority of women are wearing the wrong sized bra. If your bra isn't the right size, then you will have trouble putting it on because it won't fit your dimensions correctly. Here are some easy signs that say that you're wearing the wrong bra:  If your breasts spill out of the top of the bra. If the straps or band of the bra cut into you. If the bra feels incredibly tight—like you can't breathe in it. If the bra is so loose that the straps fall down no matter how much you adjust them. If you can comfortably fit two fingers between your side and the band of the bra. To get an idea of your band size, measure your under bust in inches, making sure the tape is snug, but not tight. If it is below 30" (76 cm), round up to the nearest even number. If it is above 36" (91 cm), round down. This is your band size If your under bust measures over 36" (91 cm), take a bust measurement while lying on your back. Average the two bust measurements, then calculate the cup size. To work out the cup size, lean forwards at 90 degrees and measure your bust loosely. Take the difference between the bust and under bust measurements, and convert into cup letters. For example, an A cup has a 1" (2.5 cm) difference, while a B cup has a 2” (5 cm) difference. This is the best thing to do if you don’t feel confident measuring your own bra size. Independent boutiques are generally the best places to get fitted because the fitters are specially trained. Department stores are generally not the best places to get fitted, as the employees often aren't trained well and sometimes use outdated measuring techniques. Go to several places to get a bra fitting done before purchasing a bra. You may have thought that you were a 36C all of your life, only to be told that you're really a 34D. Don't reject the measurements if the bra fits comfortably. Instead, try wearing a bra in the correct size and see how much better you feel. If you really aren't sure about the results of the fitting, try on as many bras as you can, or get another opinion from a...

TL;DR in English: Look out for obvious signs that your bra is the wrong size. Measure your band size. Measure your cup size. Go get a professional fitting. Trust the measurements. Measure your size once a year.

If you're currently undergoing menopause, or if you're a woman nearing menopausal age, you may be experiencing hot flashes and night sweats caused by hormonal changes. These symptoms are very common and will most often subside after menopause.  You can take some simple steps to help control your symptoms at home, such as exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, quitting smoking, and avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods. If your hot flashes and night sweats become intolerable, your doctor may prescribe hormones, antidepressants, or other drugs to help control your symptoms. Many commonly prescribed medications, including antidepressants, hormonal therapy, and hypoglycemic agents, can cause night sweats. If you suspect that your symptoms may be caused by a medication, talk with your doctor about your options. You may be able to switch to another medication, or your doctor may prescribe additional medications to help you manage your symptoms. Never stop taking your medication or reduce your dosage without first talking to your doctor. Anxiety can cause you to experience hot flashes because your body is telling itself that it is in danger, which causes your blood vessels to constrict. If you believe you are suffering from anxiety, see a doctor right away. A combination of therapy, medication, and exercise may help you control your symptoms. If you're experiencing night sweats that are not caused by your environment, you may have an underlying medical condition, such as tuberculosis or another bacterial infection. Be sure to discuss all of your symptoms with your doctor for a proper diagnosis. You may also have Idiopathic hyperhidrosis, which is a condition that causes the body to produce too much sweat for no known reason.

TL;DR in English: Diagnose menopausal symptoms. Talk to your doctor about your medications. Understand anxiety. Mention your symptoms.

Having a high vertical jump will enable you to be a more formidable player, giving you an advantage over your opponent. Achieve high jumping with plyometrics, which are movements that are completed with a lot of force very quickly. Measuring your current jump height will give you a good indication of how much you are improving. To measure your height:  Ask someone to observe you. Jump up as high as you can next to a wall while reaching your arms upward. Have your observer mark on the wall how high you jumped and measure the height. You can also put a bit of chalk on your hands. As you jump up against a wall, extend your arm upward and touch the wall at the highest point you can reach. Measure that height. Use a surface that is about 2 feet off the ground, such as a jump box or bench. Face the box and jump on it with both feet landing flat and balanced. Do 3 sets of 20 repetitions every day. When this height becomes easy for you, add more height and challenge yourself further. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and hold 10-pound weights in each hand at your sides. Bend your knees and jump up in the air. At the same time, shrug your shoulders to help lift the weights. Land back down with both feet firmly balanced on the floor. Complete 3 sets of 25 repetitions every day.  When this weight becomes easy, increase your weights in 5-poumd increments. Alternately, use a medicine ball instead of weights. Lift the ball above your head as you jump up. Bring the ball back to your chest when you land on the ground. In between other exercises, jump rope as quickly as possible for 30-second intervals. This will not only improve your ability to jump quickly and with height, but it will also improve your endurance and cardio performance. Training your leg muscles will help you jump higher with more force. Do squats, deadlift weight training, and other strength training for your legs 2-3 times a week. After spending two weeks on these types of jump training exercises, re-measure your jump height to see how much you...

TL;DR in English: Measure your current vertical jump height. Jump onto a box or bench. Do jump shrugging. Try jump roping. Strengthen your leg muscles. Re-measure your jump height after 2 weeks.

It seems like a fun idea to be self-employed, working your own hours, but will it be cost-effective? Keep track of your expenses. Like a brick-and-mortar business, street sales depend upon good financial practices. If you're selling $200 bucks worth of ice-cream a day, that's great, but not if you're spending $300 on organic milk. After calculating your expenses, price your products so that you'll profit. Don't forget to calculate the cost of labor. Your time is one of the biggest expenses you have in street sales. Account for it. In the beginning, you may make less than you hope, so you'll have to balance out what's possible to sell and what's possible to make. What's your story? Even though you're not going to be paying for prime-time commercials like Pepsi, it's still helpful to give some thought to the way you present yourself to the consumer. If you're a mother-daughter jewelry operation, name your business something that resonates with that experience. Consider promotional tactics, like buy-on-get-one-free sales to get the word out about your delicious tostadas, or play open-mic nights to let everyone know you'll be busking for dimes during the music festival next weekend. Free business cards are available online. Print some up with your contact information and a description of your business. Customer service is where a business fails or succeeds. Even if you've got the best wood carvings in the tri-State area, nobody will buy them if you treat their presence like an inconvenience. Consider what to do if someone doesn't like your product. What if your perfect caricature, which you've just spent an hour laboring over, makes the customer mad? Will you try to make them pay? Will you offer to draw another one free, losing out on the cost of materials? Consider possible no-win scenarios to practice before you have to confront an uncomfortable scenario. Your appearance should match the customer's expectation of the service. If you're selling food, you need to look clean. Even if you're playing dirty blues on...

Massaging your dog regularly is a great way to examine his body for sore spots that might need attention from a vet. Take note of lumps or bruised areas that you haven't noticed before. Pay special attention if your dog yelps when you touch him in a certain spot. If you notice something alarming, take your dog to the vet to have it checked out. The best way to feel for lumps is to run your hands over your dog's body in a smooth, long stroke. Feel the stomach, legs, chest, and back. Make sure you don't miss any spots.

TL;DR in English: Feel for lumps and areas that are inflamed.

The first line of defense for keeping your brass pieces clean is to regularly dust them using a soft rag. After dusting your lacquered brass, dip a soft cotton cloth into a mixture of mild dish detergent and lukewarm water.  Wring out the cloth so it's only slightly damp, and gently wipe the brass surface clean. Once you have cleaned the surface, use a wrung out cloth dipped in clean water to remove any remaining soap, and then dry the brass piece thoroughly. If you are trying to remove tarnish that has accumulated underneath lacquered brass, you need to remove the layer of lacquer first. Hot water softens the lacquer layering covering brass. Place the brass piece in a sink basin, and pour hot water over the brass. The hot water will heat up the brass, making it expand. The lacquer will expand with the brass. However, when the brass starts to cool down, it will slightly shrink, but the lacquer won't shrink with it. Once the brass is cool, the lacquer should be slightly separated from the brass surface, and can easily be peeled away. You could also try boiling your brass in water to remove the lacquer, depending on the size of the piece. All you need to do is immerse the brass piece in a non-aluminum pot with boiling water, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, carefully take the brass piece out of the water, let it cool, and peel off the lacquer. Place the brass piece on a table that is heavily layered with newspapers. The newspaper will help protect the workspace by absorbing any varnish remover drippings. Consider using a paintbrush to thoroughly and evenly coat the brass piece with the varnish remover. Once you have applied the remover, let it sit for a minute or two, and then wipe away the varnish remover with a soft cloth. Be sure to consult the instructions found on the container of varnish remover.  Be cautious and follow the manufacturer's cleaning guidelines, because varnish remover is made from strong chemicals that could be dangerous. Protect your skin and wear rubber gloves when handling varnish...

TL;DR in English: Clean your lacquered brass piece. Remove the lacquer with hot water. Remove the lacquer with varnish remover. Polish the brass. Consider polishing your brass with commercial cleaners. Consider alternative brass cleaners. Protect your brass from future tarnish.

What pairs better with a bathing suit than a pair of sandals? Choose either a flip-flop or strappy pair, and slip them on your feet after you lay out or swim. You can choose neutral-toned sandals for daily shoes, and you can go with embellished or colored sandals for evening looks. These pair great with shorts and skirts, for example. Wedges are shoes that have a sole that also acts as the heel. They are usually 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm) tall, and they easily add some glam to your outfit. Wear wedges with casual looks and nighttime looks if you want to lengthen your legs. For example, wear a pair of cork wedges around the pool, or wear wedge pumps with your one piece and maxi dress. For a casual footwear option, choose a pair of lightweight sneakers, like Converse or Nike. Pair these with your one piece and shorts for a daytime look, or throw them on with a pair of skinny jeans for a night out. Either way, you’ll be comfortable and stylish in sneakers! These are great if you are exploring the beach town or going on a bike ride. They all shield your eyes from the rays while also adding a stylish accessory to your outfit. Hats are fashionable and functional when paired with a one piece.  Baseball caps look great with one pieces, shorts, and sneakers for a tomboy style. Wear straw hats for a beachy vibe. Go with slouchy hats if you want a stylish look but you also want some shade. Pick a pair of sunglasses that suits your style! Oversize glasses look great with girly, flirty outfits. Rock aviator glasses with casual or tomboy outfits. Go with cat-eye shaped sunglasses for retro or vintage styles. Before you head to the beach, throw on your sunglasses to add a stylish accessory! If you are wearing your one piece for a nighttime look, you can wear your sunglasses on your head for a beachy touch, if you’d like.

TL;DR in English: Wear sandals if you want to go with a casual, relaxed style. Throw on a pair of wedges for a flirty, streamlined look. Slip on a pair of sneakers for a sporty, on-the-go style. Choose from caps, flat-brimmed, or slouchy hats for shade and style. Choose oversize, aviator, or cat-eye sunglasses to complete your look.

A scaffold whorl is a set of 4 lateral branches that extend from the tree. This shape of branches provides structure and keeps the tree's shape balanced. In order to promote healthy growth in your tree, you must promote it's growth in this way. However, do not attempt this too early or you may hurt your young cherry tree. After a year has passed, you can take the steps to create a scaffold whorl. Find four to five branches that will form your scaffold whorl. Branches growing at a 45 to 60-degree angle to the cherry tree make the best branches. Find the healthiest looking branches that are growing from the main tree and use them to create your scaffold whorl. The lowest branch should be branch about 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the ground. Make angled cuts 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) above the buds on the four branches that you chose earlier. New growth will emerge where you make the cuts. Dispose of the cut branches in the waste bin. Look for two well-spaced, strong secondary branches to keep on each of the 4-5 branches that you just cut. Cut back the remaining branches flush with the base of the branch, leaving the two strongest branches remaining on each piece of your scaffold whorl. This will help the tree focus its energy on the branches that remain and produce a greater concentration of fruit. Make clean cuts flush against the main tree, so that only the branches that are part of the scaffold whorl remain. Any leftover branches excluding the main branches should be cut off. After another season of growth, the tree will be taller with more branches. Assess the tree and determine which branches you want to keep to create a second scaffold whorl about two feet higher than the first one. Choose branches that don't fall directly over the older primary branches. Create a scaffolded shape so that sunlight can reach all of the branches of the tree.

TL;DR in English: Wait a year before pruning a scaffold. Choose 4-5 branches spaced 8 inches (20.32 cm) apart. Cut each of the four to five branches back to 24 inches (61.0 cm). Keep two secondary branches on each branch on your scaffold whorl . Prune away the remaining branches. Create a second scaffold whorl the following winter.

From zombies to princesses, Halloween costumes fit right in for the Time Warp. The flashier and zanier the better, whether that's piles of pink ruffles and glitter, or skeleton face paint. One of the dancing characters from the Rocky Horror film version, Columbia, has the flashiest costume of all. Cover yourself in gold or rainbow sequins and glittery makeup to imitate her. Bonus points if you wear a glittery top hat and fishnet stockings, or cover your eyebrows with makeup. The characters Janet and Brad are the quiet, "normal" people caught in a group of strange people, which means their costumes are usually easier to imitate. Dress as Janet by wearing a light pink dress and a white sweater, plus a sun hat. Dress as Brad with "hipster" clothing, for instance a tucked-in button-up shirt, khaki pants, and combed-back hair. At many performances of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, where the Time Warp dance comes from, people might make fun of you for wearing stripes. This supposedly references a scene in the movie when someone wearing a striped shirt was caught on camera accidentally, but it's a tradition of it's own at this point.

You can do this using the calculator at the U.S. Treasury's website. Have your bonds handy when you go to the website. Select the series and denomination of your savings bond from the designated drop-down menus. Enter the issue date of the bond in the appropriate field and click "Calculate." The following page will show you the current value of the bond. Change the date field to see what that same bond would be worth if you cashed it in at a later date. Cash in savings bonds that have already matured before any others. Matured bonds have reached their maximum value and are no longer earning interest. The amount of time it takes for a bond to reach maturity is based on the bonds' series, but most bonds have a base maturity period of 20 years. If mature bonds won't cover the cost of your emergency, cash the immature bonds that have come the closest to their earning potential. Start with the oldest bond first; in most cases the earliest savings bond will be closest to maturity, unless your bonds are from multiple series.  Check the interest rates each bond is earning. The rate of the interest was determined at the time you purchased the bond. The easiest way to find out the rate is to use the calculator on the U.S. Treasury's website. Series EE bonds, from the 1980s and 1990s, have an extended maturity of 10 years beyond the 20-year base. These savings bonds accrue interest for a total of 30 years, and so have the potential to be worth more than their face value. Consider time of year for bonds bought before May 1997. These bonds accrue interest every 6 months, so you will lose half a year's interest if you cash them right before they have completed a cycle. Cash them for your emergency if they have recently completed a cycle. After you have determined which bonds you would like to cash, make sure that you are eligible to cash them. Bonds that are too recent might not be available to cash in an emergency. EE, E, and I savings bonds cannot be cashed until they have matured for a full year. However, if you live in...

TL;DR in English: Check the value of your bonds online. Cash matured bonds first. Cash immature bonds selectively. Ensure that you can cash the bonds.

You may, if you wish, disconnect only 1 of the 2 leads from the circuit. This information should be printed on the outside of the capacitor as well. Look for a number followed by a capital “V,” the symbol for “volt.” For a 25V capacitor, you could use a voltage of 9 volts, while for a 600V capacitor, you should use a voltage of at least 400 volts. Let the capacitor charge for a few seconds. Be sure to connect the positive (red) lead from the voltage source to the positive (longer) capacitor terminal and the negative (black) lead to the negative (shorter) terminal. The greater the discrepancy between the capacitor’s voltage rating and the voltage you’re charging it with, the longer it will take to charge. Generally, the higher voltage of the power supply you have access to, the higher the voltage ratings of the capacitors you can test with ease.  Connect the positive(red) lead to the positive (longer) terminal and the negative (black) lead to the negative (shorter) terminal. This should be close to the voltage you supplied the capacitor with. If it isn’t, the capacitor is no good. The capacitor will discharge its voltage into the voltmeter, causing its reading to drop back to zero the longer you have the leads connected. This is normal. Only if the initial reading is much lower than the expected voltage should you be concerned.

TL;DR in English: Disconnect the capacitor from its circuit. Check the capacitor’s voltage rating. Charge the capacitor with a known voltage less than, but close to, its rated voltage. Set your voltmeter to read DC voltage (if it’s capable of reading both AC and DC). Connect the voltmeter leads to the capacitor. Note the initial voltage reading.

If you are making a soup, curry, or other liquid dish, the easiest option is to add more liquid. Pour out some of the salty liquid and discard it. Add water, unsalted broth, or milk, depending on the dish. Adding a completely new ingredient is a bold move, but can have high rewards. Acidic and sweet flavors are great choices to complement or obscure saltiness.  Acidic ingredients work with almost any dish. Try citrus juice, vinegar, wine, tomato, or pickled foods.  Besides plain sugar, you could add honey or condensed milk. This works best in combination with acid. Try adding 1 teaspoon (5mL) each of sugar and cider vinegar, then repeat until perfect. If you have the time and pantry supplies, add more ingredients. For instance, add more meat and vegetables to your stew, or unsalted butter to your sauce. This will reduce the ratio of salt to other flavors. This is the only way to fix an oversalted dough. If you prefer more neutral flavors, grind cauliflower to a fine consistency and mix it into the liquid. You can add rice, pasta, or potatoes to almost any dish. Starch is not a special counter to salt, but it is an easy way to increase the recipe size. Don't believe the myth about letting a potato absorb salt from a broth, then throwing it away. The potato absorbs liquid as well as salt. The percentage of salt remains unchanged. Partially boiled vegetables can be rinsed and returned to less salty water. Rinsing can ruin the texture and flavor of steamed, baked, or stir-fried veggies, but may work if you catch the mistake soon after you begin cooking. Temperature affects taste in complex ways, but a cold dish can taste saltier than a hot one. If warming the dish isn't an option, consider serving it with a hot drink like coffee or tea instead. This is a fairly minor effect. Combine it with other solutions.

Bullies cross the spectrum – some abuse physically, others verbally, while others play mind games and toy with you emotionally. Many bullies use a combination of these strategies. Whatever the type, it helps for you to understand the approach taken by the bully.  Does the person abuse you physically? Aggressive bullies like to hit, punch, kick and pull hair. They will do it without hesitation. Such a bully isn't beyond starting a physical fight, only to blame it all on you or cry that they're hurt and you started it. Is this person a name-caller, someone who insults you verbally? Taunting bullies are verbally abusive (calling names, making jokes, teasing, etc.).  Does the person pretend to be your friend, but then makes fun of you in front of others without warning? This is just one type of emotional bullying. Others include threatening to hurt or break something you care about, doing something to cause you to be ridiculed (such as having a "kick me" sign on your back) or telling lies about you to other people to try to make them hate you. Indirect bullies, sometimes known as backstabbers or gossip-mongers, spread rumors, exclude others, and harass their victims whenever possible. Cyber bullies harass other people through instant messaging, e-mail, and any other electronic means. The best way to deal with online bullies is to delete their messages and not read anything they say. Be sure to block the bully as well. If this is happening to you, it is just as legitimate as face-to-face bullying. Do not hesitate to tell your parents, your boss, a teacher, or the police, if necessary, about your situation. This is not okay and should not be tolerated. Consider your parents, school guidance counselor, principal, boss, the police, or someone else who can deal with or punish the bully and protect your safety. It's important that you talk to someone about your problem to get it to end. This is not cowardly of you. This is brave of you to come forward and make yourself vulnerable.  Do not worry about revenge that the...

TL;DR in English: Recognize the type of bully you and others are dealing with. Understand that cyberbullying is as real as face-to-face or real life bullying. Report all bullying to an authority figure. Help others through their situation. Spread the word.

You'll want to have your parents' undivided attention when you talk about how you feel, so find a time and place without distractions. Once you've decided on a time and day, write it down so you don't forget about it.  Tell your parents that you don't want your sibling(s) to be present. This will ensure that your parents focus on you during your talk. It will also prevent your sibling's feelings from being hurt. . Talk about how you feel, without making accusations or trying to place blame. Your feelings are valid and you should feel free to express them to your parents. Try not to lash out at your parents; it may feel difficult at the time, but they have feelings too and you don't want to hurt them.   Instead of saying, “You never spend time with me! You just don't care about me as much as Jayden!” try something like, “I feel really sad that I don't get to spend as much time with you as Jayden does.” You might say something like, "I know that because Kate is autistic, you need to spend lots of time with her. Sometimes, I feel left out. I want to spend time with you, but it always seems like you're busy." Talking to your parents about your feelings can feel a bit embarrassing, but it's okay to express yourself and say that you want to spend more time with them. Being honest with yourself and with your parents will help you build a more open and stable relationship. It's also possible that your parents don't even realize that you are feeling this way. Talking to them about it may help them be more conscious of their actions.   Try to say things like, “I'm sad because I feel like I've been forgotten about.” Or, “I feel lonely; I wish you would spend more time with me.” Work with them to find ways to make it easier. They might have some ideas about how you can get more time with them. If your parents are occupied, they might not realize that you want attention too. Although it may seem like your parents know everything, they might not be fully aware of your needs. The easiest way to let them know is to tell...

Pokémon, trainer, energy, and miscellaneous.  Sort your Pokémon out into piles of each type, eg.: Pikachu, Ratatta. Sort Trainer out into each type, eg.: Switch, Potion. Sort Energy out into piles of each eg.: Lightning, Grass. Write the number of cards on a Post-It, and stick one on each pile. To do so, search websites that have pricing guides for your cards. You can also search eBay for the current trading value of your cards. The columns should include: card name, quantity, individual value and total value (quantity multiplied times the individual value). You may want to do this in Excel or a similar spreadsheet program. Do this by getting a total at the bottom of your quantity and total cost columns. You can do this by packaging the whole set, selling individual cards, or putting them in packs of ten. Alternatively, you can sell them to people in your area. Check with your younger brother's/sister's friends because your "junk" can become their "special treasure."'

TL;DR in English: Sort the cards into four piles: Count the cards in each pile. Figure out the individual cost of each of your cards. Make a table. Figure out the total value of your Pokémon card collection. Use eBay or a similar site to sell.

If you notice that your German shepherd has any mobility issues, take him to the vet. You want to find out if it is due to hip dysplasia or another related issue. One of the first things your vet will do is watch the way your dog moves. The vet will watch him walk and run, and also examine how the dog copes with stairs. This will help the vet to see which leg is most painful and how badly affected it is. One of the things your vet may need is a health history. This will include the dog’s overall health, when the symptoms started, and any past injuries. The vet may also ask for breeding information to find any genetic connections. The vet will perform a physical examination. The exam includes testing your dog's nerve reflexes by turning the paw upside down and pinching the toes. This helps to ascertain that the problem is physical with the joints rather than neurological with the nerves.  The vet will then carefully manipulate the legs, flexing and extending each joint to test if the movement is normal or restricted. This also helps to confirm which areas are tender or sore. Your vet may also draw blood and take a urine sample. Based on the exam, the vet may suggest taking radiographs of the dog's hip joints. This is best done under anesthetic because to take meaningful x-rays means putting the dog's legs in positions which would be too painful for the conscious dog.  While the dog is anesthetized and relaxed, the vet can perform special tests that involve testing the amount of movement out of the joint to see if it is within normal limits or not. A joint which moves out of joint a significant amount is going to be more painful, because the bones are constantly banging against each other. One problem with diagnosing hip dysplasia is that the radiographs need to be interpreted in light of the clinical signs, such as lameness, and the amount of the discomfort the dog is in. Hip dysplasia is a painful condition, so your vet will prescribe pain relief for long term use. Typically this is a medication from the...

Look at the changes you want to make to Measurably Improve Your Quality of Life. Which goals require you to learn more before you can confidently make the change you want? Look for a goal you could start on now, without too much time required. In this case, the goal we have chosen is to take better care of our body. Then we are going to break it down. What elements go along with taking better care of our body?  Study as early as possible. Get plenty of sleep Eat healthy food Drink plenty of water Get exercise Brainstorm criteria for which options you are attracted to and which you are not. Are you interested in researching on the internet? Do you want to talk with a nutritionist or a fitness instructor? If you have difficulty when paying attention while reading, would magazine articles be an effective option for learning?  Trust your intuition. If heading down a certain path doesn't feel right, don't go that way! If you begin reading on ways to improve your sleep habits, and the information is not something you would be willing to use in your own life, then stop reading, and find a different resource. Do not continue simply because it is information coming from an “expert” or because “everyone is doing it”. The information has to be useful to you.  Refine your goal with research. As you begin to look into ways to take better care of your body you may discover there is one element that you really want to focus on. This narrows your goal from “I want to take better care of my body” to “I want to take better care of my body by eating a healthier diet.”  Find someone who has done what you want to do and have them show you. If you know someone who has changed elements of their lifestyle, such as exercising more or implementing a healthier way of eating, talk to them. Find out what they did, how they did it and where they found their information.  Do research on the internet, take a class, interview others, and find a mentor.

It may be better for you and the other party to be upfront and honest about ending things. You can do this face-to-face, or via text. If you've never met this person in real life, or only met them a couple of times, there's no need to meet them face-to-face. However, a longer relationship would benefit from a face-to-face meeting.  The main benefits of this approach is that it's a mature way of handling a potentially awkward situation. You won't have to awkwardly avoid the person in the future. You will also avoid any feelings of guilt. If you simply cut someone out, you may regret it later. For example, you may not have romantic feelings for them, but they might be a good friend. The major con is rejecting someone is hard. The other person may react negatively if you reject them. You also may not feel you owe someone a rejection if you only knew them via the internet. However, if the person seems very invested or interested in you, you should probably be honest about your feelings so they have some closure and can move on. If you met someone in real life, and dated for a few weeks, try meeting up in real life. If you only talked to someone online, or only met them a few times, you can break up via text or email. Sometimes, it's best to slowly taper off contact. If you never met this person in real life, or if you only had one date, consider just slowing or ending contact until they take the hint.  One pro to this approach is that you avoid a potentially awkward situation. If the other party doesn't seem invested either, it may be appropriate to slowly stop returning texts and emails. This is probably not the best approach if the other person seems more invested. If you're getting a lot of texts, emails, and other forms of contact, the other person may want to move towards a serious romance. If this is the case, simply ceasing contact can leave them feeling confused and hurt. A conversation may be better. Another approach is allowing the other party to contact you. If you're not sure if the other party is...

TL;DR in English: Think about the benefits of being honest. Consider tapering off contact. Try waiting for them to contact you. Consider the length and type of your relationship.

The advent of a wide range of smoking-cessation medications has offered many new options for those seeking to quit, but for most people, support networks and professional assistance seem to be critical factors.  Quitting is as much of a psychological as it is a physical task, and proper guidance, motivation, and encouragement is essential to success for most people.  It is essential that you surround yourself with the right people at this time.  Seek out supportive friends and family who understand your desire to quit and will offer you encouragement and even constructive criticism as warranted.  You will probably need to stay away from many of your old “stomping grounds” and normal leisure activities for at least a while, as you may associate these with smoking.  Make sure your friends and family can support such changes.   How to Quit Smoking offers more information on the need for support, as well as more detailed information on quitting smoking in general.  This WikiHow article on quitting also offers a helpful array of advice regarding the need for internal and external emotional support when you want to stop smoking. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to smoking cessation, but some methods seem to be more likely to succeed than others.  According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a combination of counseling plus medication offers the best chance for success.  This is followed by use of medications alone — including Chantix and nicotine patches, gums, sprays, etc. — and counseling and support alone. Accept that your initial attempt(s) to quit will quite possibly fail, no matter how highly-recommended your approach and how strong your determination.  An early failure or two does not mean you are weak-willed; it means you are normal.  Keep trying, and know that you can quit — because anyone can quit with the right mix of methods and support. The support of friends and family is essential, but smoking cessation often also requires the help of people trained specifically for the...

TL;DR in English: Don’t go it alone. Use what worked for others, but realize that you're an individual. Seek professional guidance and counseling. Try smoking cessation medications. Be cautious of unproven methods. Find a healthy replacement for smoking. Keep in mind why it is so important to quit — and to “stay quit.

Often, nasal polyps do not show symptoms, and you may live your whole life without knowing they are there. If polyps grow larger, however, you can experience complications that will require medical attention. If you have the following symptoms, you should visit the doctor and see if you are suffering from nasal polyps. If they test you and confirm that you have polyps, there are some medical treatments they may recommend.  An excessively runny or stuffed up nose. Decreased sense of smell and taste. Pressure on the forehead or face. Feeling like your nose is clogged when mucus isn't present. Headaches. Pain in your upper row of teeth. Steroid sprays can help to reduce the size of your nasal polyps. If the polyps were small enough, they might disappear completely when treated with steroid sprays. Some steroid sprays are sold over the counter at pharmacies, but stronger varieties are available with a prescription. Talk to your doctor about using a steroid spray and see if it would work for you. Some of the common nasal sprays include beclomethasone, budesonide, fluticasone, mometasone, and triamcinolone. Nasonex is the most common brand name for steroid nasal sprays. Nasal drops, like nasal spray, help to shrink your polyps. Nasal drops can also clear up congestion, which can help you to breathe more easily while your polyps shrink. Most nasal drops take between 7 and 14 days to begin reducing polyps, and it is generally recommended that you continue to use them for another four to six weeks. When administering nasal drops, you should bend fully forward and downward. You should almost feel like you are about to try to stand on your head. Put the drops in your nose while your head hangs down. Keep your head down for 3 to 4 minutes after administering the drops to make sure that the drops reach your nasal cavity. Prednisone is an oral corticosteroid that reduces swelling and inflammation. It can help treat the inflammation in your nose and thus reduce the size of your nasal polyps. You can only get this steroid...

TL;DR in English: Visit the doctor if you have symptoms of nasal polyps. Use steroid sprays. Try steroid nasal drops. Take prednisone. Take oral antibiotics. Consider surgery.

Save up as much of your resources as you can. Put the collectors/mines/drillers on the outside of your village. They have less value and contain fewer resources. Put the storage on the inside of your village to ensure maximum protection from your enemies. Cannons and mortars can't fire at air targets, so if balloons attack them, they'll be destroyed. Put them within an attack radius of an air defense or Archer Towers. Wizard Towers are vulnerable to clusters of Barbarians or giants/any troops with very high health, so cover it with an air defense or Archer Towers. Add any Air Bombs if available. We know we hate them. Remember the days when we would put walls around our village and place any extra walls to thwart Wall Breakers? The new update makes sure Wall Breakers are more intelligent and pass through unused/miscellaneous walls. Add cannons and Archer Towers around your village because they can target Wall Breakers faster than other defenses. Archer Towers are more effective in killing Giants than cannons or mortars. If you have at least 10 Giants surrounding any defenses, they're screwed. Spring Traps are more effective at killing Giants. 1 Spring Trap can throw up to 3 Giants at a time. A Giant Bomb can damage every Giant in the surrounding area. Bombs aren't that effective. If you have more than 5 Giants, you can successfully destroy a Tesla. The most obvious places to find a Tesla is an unusual collection of walls around a village. The Walls protect the Tesla, so don't spawn there. Also, P.E.K.K.A's are very weak against teslas. During special events, troops may be discounted for 10% of their original price. Take advantage of this by training a regular army and then loading up on the troop right before the event ends. Then, untrain the troops to get refunded for the original price. You can also bank up elixir before bed to hide it from attackers. Have an army in your army camps and then load up your barracks with wall-breakers. This will preserve the elixir in your barracks hiding it from any attackers....

This pen is going to act as your stem, so look for a pen that doesn't have a clicker on the top or on the side. You want the stem to be smooth and clean. Think about what color you'd like your flower to be when selecting the duct tape. Red, white, and pink are good colors, especially if you want the flower to look like a rose. You will also need a pair of scissors, or a small cutting knife, and a cutting board or a surface where you can cut the duct tape.  Have one to two rolls of duct tape in different colors if you’d like to make a multicolored tape flower pen. Get a small roll of green duct tape for the “stem” and the “leaves” of the flower pen.

TL;DR in English: Pick a pen. Get your duct tape and other supplies.

Go shopping and stock up on soft, easy-to-chew foods before the surgery. Ideally, make them drinkable like yogurt and soups that don't have big chunks. Remember, your back teeth may hurt and you won't want to be chewing very much with your molars for the first few days and up to a week.  Buy food like soup, yogurt, ice cream, applesauce, jello, and mashed potatoes. Don’t buy anything that could leave residual food pieces in your mouth like cookies, nuts, rice, or pasta. Drink water and juice, but avoid drinks like soda and alcohol. Eat room temperature, very soft foods the first day after surgery. Try soup that's cooled down, yogurt, or puddings. Applesauce can be good too, just make sure there are no big chunks of apple.  Try boiling vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, potatoes, onion and peppers and then smash them all together. Add a little vegetable stock to create a soup. Allow it to cool before you eat it. You can expect to not be able to open your mouth very wide soon after the surgery, so big spoons can cause problems. Make sure to have spoons that are the right size for you. It’s important to maintain an exclusively soft diet for the first three days after surgery. Your mouth needs time to heal, so you need to help this process by avoiding foods that require chewing. After the first few days, you will likely be ready for foods that require a little chewing and don't have to be room temperature, like ice cream. An advantage to eating cold foods is that it can help numb your mouth, causing you to not feel any pain for a short while. The cool temperatures can also work to soothe your mouth after the surgery. When you’re ready to start chewing food again, start with really small bites. Work your way up to normal-sized bites. It can take a while to get back to eating normally, but it will improve soon enough. You don’t want to rush into eating regular foods again because it could cause your wounds to re-open, which can lead to pain and bleeding. Then you’ll have to start the healing process all over...

TL;DR in English: Plan ahead. Start with soft, room temperature foods. Keep eating soft foods for the first three days or so. Begin with small bites. Follow your oral surgeon’s instructions.

Start your response with a basic introduction, such as, “Dear Jacob.” If the person is a colleague or professional contact, you can try a more formal greeting by using their title, like “Dear Mrs. Hardy,” or “Dear Professor Thomas.” Depending on the circumstances, you might want to use a formal or casual tone. “I accept your apology,” or "Thank you for your apology" are appropriate formal responses for business dealings. If the apology comes from a friend or family member, you can be more informal in your response. Try, “I hear what you are saying," “Thanks,” or “It’s okay.”  If you’re not ready to move forward, acknowledge their apology by stating: “I appreciate your apology, but I am unable to accept it at this time.” No matter how you choose to respond, make sure it’s a true reflection of your feelings. You don’t want to get caught up in crafting a response that isn’t actually genuine. Don’t leave the person guessing. In addition to acknowledging their apology, let them know why you were offended or upset. Be honest and clear in your writing. Explain how the situation felt for you and why it impacted you the way that it did. For example, you can write:  “I am glad you apologized. It really hurt my feelings when you made a joke at my expense.” “It’s okay. I wish you hadn’t done this at all, but I'm ready to move past it.” “I hear that you regret what you did. I’m trying to move past this but it has really impacted how I feel about our relationship. I will need more time to think about things.” Sometimes the problem really is someone else’s fault, but it may be that both parties involved made some missteps. Reflect on whether this applies to your situation and take responsibility where it makes sense. For example:  You can write: “It was really unfair when you said that about me, but I should not have responded by returning the insult.” Alternatively, try: “It was your responsibility to make sure things went smoothly that day, but I realize now that I should have made sure you had more help.” Make it clear...

TL;DR in English: Open your letter with a standard greeting. Acknowledge the apology in the opening sentence. State how you feel about the situation in the body of your letter. Acknowledge your contribution to the problem if appropriate. Close the body of the letter with a clear plan for the future of your relationship. End your letter with a closing that matches the tone of your response. Mail or email the apology acceptance letter.

Easy lifestyle changes can make a big difference in the state of your skin later in life. For model beautiful skin, limit your exposure to the sun, maintain adequate hydration, and don’t smoke. These simple changes will benefit your body and your skin. For an easy way to reduce wrinkles, try sleeping on your back. Lines on your face caused by your pillow can become permanent over time, so try sleeping on your back to lessen the effect. If you can’t get a good night of sleep on your back, try to use pillows made of silk or satin, which lessens the lasting impressions of fabrics on your skin. Oils rich in antioxidants (such as coconut oil) will improve the quality of your skin by reducing the production of free radicals that lead to the visual signs of early aging. Apply oils to your skin each night after cleansing and before bed in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Laser skin resurfacing will help to reduce severe facial wrinkles, scars, and blemishes. A surgeon can use laser skin resurfacing to remove unwanted and damaged skin while simultaneously stimulating the growth of new collagen fibers, leading to skin that is smoother and firmer. For more information about laser skin resurfacing, consult your skin care professional or dermatologist. These are substances used by a physician that will aid in replacing lost volume in certain areas of your face. The benefit of these injections is that you will have substantial and long-lasting results. Ensure that any injectable filler that you use is FDA approved. Commonly used FDA approved fillers include hyaluronic acids, hydroxylapatite microspheres, poly-l-lactic acid, and polymethyl methacrylate microspheres/collagen. A trusted doctor, dermatologist, or skincare professional can provide advice regarding which filler may be best for you.

TL;DR in English: Prevent the onset of wrinkles. Sleep on your back. Apply oils rich in antioxidants. Try laser skin resurfacing. Consider injectable fillers.

If your joints are tight, exercising may be something that can be hard to get started with.  However, the more you exercise and the more consistent you are, the looser your joints will be.  Studies have shown that those who exercised at least 2 times per week had a significant decline in pain and stiffness in their joints.  An occasional exercise session will loosen your joints and relieve stiffness.  However, if you don't keep up with this routine, your joints will regress back to being stiff. To avoid this, exercise consistently and regularly. This means you'll need to exercise at least 3-4 times per week or more often.  You'll notice that the more consistent you are, the less pain and stiffness you'll feel with time. If you want to loosen your joints with exercise, it's important to put in some extra time before and after a workout to do just that.  Exercise will loosen your joints.  However, you need to give your body time to loosen up through a warm-up.  Spend about 5-10 minutes getting your body warmed up. A warm-up will help increase blood flow to your joints and muscles.  This helps them get physically warm and increases the oxygen and nutrient rich blood that's being delivered. Spend your warm-up doing a few minutes of a slower, lower intensity activity.  You could walk on the treadmill, cycle slowly or use the elliptical without resistance. Keep joints from getting stiff after your exercise routine by stretching and doing range of motions exercises as a cool down. If you have arthritis or another degenerative joint condition, it's likely that you have the occasional ache or pain in your joints.  Most times, it's actually beneficial to push through those pains.  Health professionals note that it's normal and to be expected to have some initial pain, stiffness or tightness in your joints when you first start moving. However, if you continue with movement, stretching or range of motion exercises, the pain should subside.  Continued movement helps lubricate your joint which can help it loosen it up and...

Low testosterone is often not treated. Many men with low testosterone levels have mild symptoms that are easy to live with, or no symptoms at all. Often, unless you have severely low levels of testosterone or you are experiencing severe symptoms, your doctor will not suggest treatment. Talk to your doctor about whether you should treat your low testosterone. . Being overweight or obese can cause low testosterone levels. Being underweight can also cause low levels. To help boost your testosterone levels, work on getting your weight to a healthy level. Start by following a healthy eating plan.  Cut out processed sugars, refined carbs, and trans fats. Instead, eat whole foods, like vegetables and fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean, quality meats. Consider increasing your calcium and vitamin D to reduce your risk of osteoporosis.

When you feel comfortable and confident in your ability to crochet chains, you can start learning more advanced stitches.  Each time you practice a new stitch, you'll need to create a long foundation of chain stitches first. You'll need to work these new stitches into the loops of your chain. When learning a new stitch, try to create multiple rows using the new stitch. Continue creating rows of the same stitch until you become comfortable with the technique. After mastering the chain stitch and the slip stitch, the next stitches you should learn (in order) are:  The single crochet stitch The double crochet stitch The triple or treble crochet stitch After you've practiced your basic stitches, you can start using them to create simple projects like blankets and scarves.  Look for crochet patterns written for children since the instructions will be easier to understand. Check the stitches listed in the instructions before you begin. Make sure that you know how to create all of the required stitches.

TL;DR in English: Learn additional stitches. Pick out easy project patterns.

This can be done through clothes or actions. As with any flirting, be sure to not overdo it or you'll risk looking cheap.  Girls, try moving your hips, playing with your hair, or "accidentally" dropping something, only to show off your butt while picking it up. Guys, show off your physical features. Butt, muscles,strong hands, stomach. Hold eye contact for slightly longer than usual. . Lets say you and the other person are sitting next to each other. Why not say a funny joke? While you two are laughing, unintentionally lightly place your hand on the persons arm. . Shaking hands or hugging is a very good start. It brings you closer together. Girls, if you and your man are walking, try faking a trip. Fall towards the man so that he can catch you, but don't let go too quickly! Stare into his eyes as if saying, "You just saved my life." Then look around as if saying, "this is awkward", then giggle.

You can only fly in Creative Mode. You choose the game mode when you create the world, and there is no built-in way to change it. You can search your app store for a mod that allows you to change game modes. However, most of these do not work for Minecraft PE versions 0.9 and later. If you do download a mod, be aware that it is not officially supported and could cause issues with your game. If you are in Creative Mode, you should start flying. On some versions, the jump symbol will change to a pair of wings. Hold the jump button and swipe your finger up to fly higher, or down to sink lower. You can also move using the usual controls.  You can also drop down by double-tapping the center jump button.  If you are playing on the Xperia Play gamepad, hold jump while pressing up or down.

While you can use any sharp knife, a serrated knife (the kind with points along the edge) will work best. The small points help you slice through the brisket. Aim for a knife that is 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) long, which will allow you to slice more of the brisket at once.

Preheat the oven to 450 °F (232 °C) and line a sheet with foil. Bake the fries for 2 to 3 minutes.

For example, tell yourself that if you pay attention for the next 15 minutes, you can have a few peanut M&Ms from the bag you’ve stashed in your backpack. For every additional 15 minutes, you get a couple more. Or, instead of M&Ms, you can allow yourself to check your phone briefly. You could also tell yourself that if you take good notes through the entire class, you can play your new video game for an hour when you get home. This can be a good motivator if you have trouble making it through the whole class, or if the class is pretty long. After all, if it’s a 3-hour class, you will probably get tired of eating M&Ms or checking your phone for updates. For example, before walking into Physics today, tell yourself that if you pay attention the entire time, you can grab your favorite mocha latte or hit the arcade right after class. For example, maybe you find French class excruciatingly boring. Hey, you’re not the first person to feel that way! Tell yourself that if you pay attention today, you’ll treat yourself to that cool new French film (sub-titled, of course!) you’ve been wanting to see downtown. Or you can treat yourself to a delicious croissant or éclair after class.  After paying attention in class and scarfing down an éclair, you'll probably be feeling pretty good. See? Maybe French isn’t so bad after all. Doing this helps you associate positive things with your class. In turn, this may encourage you to pay attention more. If you walk into class already dreading how boring it's going to be and telling yourself that paying attention is going to be impossible, you won't feel very motivated to stay on track. Instead, walk in telling yourself that you will succeed at paying attention in today's class. Set your mind to achieving your goal! For example, instead of thinking "Ugh, I hate this class! It's so boring," you could think: "Maybe I'll learn something interesting today." If you have a friend in the class, ask them to discreetly let you know when your mind has clearly wandered. They can tap you on the...

TL;DR in English: Create small goals and mini-rewards to go with them. Choose a reward you can have right after class. Treat yourself to something that has a connection to the class. Get in the right mindset before walking into class. Ask a friend to help you stay on track. Don’t beat yourself up if you still have trouble paying attention.

The first signs and symptoms are tender and swollen joints that often feel warm to the touch. Many people with rheumatoid arthritis have relatively mild pain and stiffness but experience periodic “flare ups” where the signs and symptoms get worse. Other people have constant, chronic symptoms. As the disease progresses, joints and bones can become damaged, leading to increasing loss of function, although early treatment can limit the damage. Other symptoms may include:  Fatigue, muscle pain, and general stiffness that lasts at least 1 hour after waking or after a long rest period (unlike the pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis, which dissipates faster).  Suffering from other disorders more frequently than those without the disease. These may include other autoimmune diseases (like Sjogren's Syndrome), vasculitis (an inflammation of the blood vessels), anemia (lower than normal numbers of red blood cells that carry oxygen to tissues), and lung disease. Rheumatoid nodules, which develop in up to 35% of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. The nodules show up as bumps under the skin near the affected joint, most commonly near the elbows. They're not usually painful, are freely movable under the skin, and can range in size from a pea up to the size of a lemon. While the cause of rheumatoid arthritis isn't known, it seems to be linked to genetic factors. It's likely that inheriting a group of genes, not a single gene, increases your risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Hormones and environmental factors also play a role in developing the disease. Men and women of any race or ethnic background can get rheumatoid arthritis, but it occurs in women more frequently than in men. Women are about 2 to 3 times more likely to get the disease, which most often begins in middle age.

TL;DR in English: Watch for the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Understand the risk factors for getting rheumatoid arthritis.

Spread out your ingredients in newspaper-covered large pans such as a cookie sheet or table. Put the ingredients in place in a place that is dry and under direct sunlight such as in front of a window.  You will not need to dry the asafoetida. If you are using fresh red chilli peppers or fresh coriander seeds, you will need to dry these ingredients in advance for about a week. Add a dash of cooking oil in your pan. Then fry the asafoetida for 2 to 3 minutes until it changes to a light yellowy colour. Remove the asafoetida from the pan. It's important that you are using a whole piece of asafoetida when frying in oil and not the powder. If you are using an asafoetida powder, you can add it directly into the sun dried ingredients during grinding. Cooling down the ingredients prevents wet lumps from forming during grinding. A good wait time would be about 15 to 20 minutes for everything to completely cool down. Grind everything in a food processor. If you are making a large batch, you may need to grind everything in batches. Alternatively, you can bring your ingredients to a grinder mill or grinding store where they will have large machines to grind the ingredients for you.

TL;DR in English: Sun dry all ingredients in direct sunlight for 4 to 5 hours. Fry the whole piece of asafoetida in oil on low heat. Let your ingredients cool completely. Grind the ingredients together to make a fine powder. Finished.

If you want to go directly to a specific page on a website, you will need to enter the file path. The file path always follows a "/". The "/" in a URL represents a subdirectory within the website. Each "/" marks that you are descending one level deeper into the site. The file path is followed by the file name, and sometimes the file extension "example.com/subdirectory/filename.html". Most URLs do not require the file extension – it fills automatically. However, it is often necessary to include. Make sure you are entering the correct file path, as /page.php and /page.html are completely separate files You may be more likely to make a mistake when copying long chains of characters into the address box by hand. If you have access to the text of the web address, simply copy and paste it into the address bar. Strange characters may appear in the address bar: ?, #, and series of numbers. You don't need to worry about these, except insofar as you must copy out the chains of digits to reach certain specific sites.  A "?" with numbers/letters following the url is called a parameter. Parameters are automatically generated and not necessary to type in. A "#" followed by letters/numbers is called an anchor. Websites sometimes have certain points specified on a page, that let you jump directly to a specific place on the page. The page will automatically scroll to the place the anchor is found.

TL;DR in English: Enter the file path to go to a specific page on the site. Use the computer's Copy function, if possible. Understand parameters and anchors.

Take a rimmed baking sheet and press a piece of aluminum foil across it. The foil will prevent the fries from sticking to the baking sheet. It's important to use a rimmed baking sheet so the fries don't slide off the sheet as you're moving them to the oven. Put the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the fries heat up.

Many people who end up in relationships with psychic vampires have underlying issues with self esteem. Seeing a qualified therapist can help if you have problems with your emotions, feelings, and interactions with other people. You can find a therapist by asking your doctor for a referral, seeing what is covered by your insurance provider, or seeking free counseling from your college or university if you are a student. Oftentimes, we make ourselves susceptible to psychic vampires because we do not know ourselves. Spending time getting to know your own needs and wants can help you keep psychic vampires away.  Journaling can help you become acquainted with yourself. Write down your thoughts and feelings on a daily basis. Choose a time, like in the morning or shortly before bed, to record your emotions. Spend time alone. Work on making a conscious effort to spend time alone. You'll be forced to consider yourself and your emotions if you choose to spend a few nights a week by yourself. Consider whether you're a people pleaser. If you're unwilling to say "no" and afraid of letting someone down, this is bait for psychic vampires. Try to move away from people pleasing tendencies to lessen the hold psychic vampires have on you. Being high energy and confident can put off energy vampires. Work on engaging in activities that will boost your energy and self esteem. You can try some of the following:  Regular exercise Team sports Yoga Pilates Karate or other self defense courses Swimming Kayaking Outdoor sports

TL;DR in English: See a therapist. Get to know yourself. Engage in energy building activities.

Polyester couches should have a tag, usually found somewhere underneath the cushions. The tag will have one of the following letters or letter combinations written on it: W, S, SW, or X. These codes let you know what kind of cleaners you can use on your couch.  The letter W indicates water cleaning only, while S indicates solvent cleaning only. The tag SW means either a water or solvent based cleaner is safe. If the tag reads X, do not attempt to clean the couch yourself. Tags with an X label require professional cleaning. Choose the right cleaner depending on your tag. Cleaners are sold at department stores. You can also buy one online.  Couches marked "W" can be cleaned with an upholstery cleaner. Couches marked "S" should be cleaned with dry cleaning solvents. If your couch is marked SW, you can use either an upholstery or dry cleaning solvent cleaner. Do not attempt to clean a couch marked "X" on your own. Unfortunately, couches with this label will require professional upholstery cleaners. Go online and find a professional cleaner within your price range if you need to clean a couch with the label "X."

TL;DR in English: Decipher the couch tag. Find the right cleaner. Find a professional cleaner for a couch with an "X" label.

In addition to getting treatment from a cancer specialist, another important factor in increasing your risk of survival is eating nutritious food. Your body, particularly your immune system, needs lots of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and healthy fats to fight cancer and other diseases. Furthermore, fighting cancer (and other chronic diseases) requires lots of energy, so getting enough calories per day is also important.  A healthy cancer-fighting diet should include lots of fresh fruits and veggies (particularly ones rich in antioxidants, such as dark berries, grapes, broccoli and peppers), lean meat and fish, as well as fibrous whole grains. Cancer tends to thrive on sugar, especially refined sugar, so avoid soda pop, milk chocolate, ice cream, candy, cakes, donuts and most desserts if your have cancer. Another way to boost your immune system and maintain a healthy weight is by getting regular (daily) cardiovascular exercise. However, exercising (and eating) might be difficult during some types of treatment, such as chemo. Great types of cardiovascular exercise for cancer patients include brisk walks, hiking, cycling, swimming and jumping on a trampoline.  Exercise also improves blood flow, strengthens bones and muscles, improves lung function, stimulates appetite, improves sleep and elevates mood — which are all factors important for surviving cancer. Depending on the type and stage of cancer you have, some exercises may be inappropriate, so always okay any activity with your oncologist. One thing many long-term cancer survivors have in common is that they have friends and family they can depend on for emotional, spiritual and/or physical support. In contrast, being alone without anyone to confide in and get emotional support from significantly increases the risk of dying from all forms of cancer (and many other diseases).  Don't be ashamed or embarrassed by a cancer diagnosis and not tell friends and family. Instead, tell them immediately and allow them to digest the information and help in their own...

TL;DR in English: Make an effort to eat well. Get lots of regular exercise. Surround yourself with a loving support group. Keep a positive attitude.

The old adage, "feed a cold, starve a fever" actually has some truth to it, according to recent scientific studies. You don’t want to waste the body’s energy for digestion when that energy should be used to control the infection that's causing the fever. Choose fruits such as berries, watermelon, oranges and cantaloupe. These are rich in Vitamin C, which can help fight infections and lower fever. They'll also help keep you hydrated. Avoid heavy, fatty or oily foods like barbecued or fried foods. Avoid spicy foods like chicken wings, pepperoni, or sausages too. While you can have chicken broth on its own, you could also eat chicken soup with rice and some vegetables. Studies have shown that chicken soup may actually have medicinal properties. It will also help keep you hydrated. Make sure you include a good and easily digested source of protein such as scrambled eggs or chicken (add a few pieces of meat to your chicken broth). Fever can lead to dehydration which can make the sufferer feel worse. Avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of water or an oral rehydration solution like CeraLyte, Pedialyte. Call your physician before you do and ask your doctor's advice. Be prepared with a list of symptoms and about how much you or your child has been eating, drinking and how high the fever has been. Also keep track of how often you have to change diapers or, for an older children, how often they have to urinate.  If you are breast feeding your baby, keep that going as much as possible. You're adding food, water, and comfort. Kids (and you) might enjoy frozen popsicles as a way to stay hydrated. Just try to avoid too much sugar. Look for all-natural fruit popsicles, frozen Italian ices, frozen yogurt, or sherbet. Just don't forget to keep drinking water too! You can either buy these teas or make them yourself. Simply add a teaspoon of dried herb for every cup of water. Steep the herb in boiled water for 5 minutes and flavor as desired with lemon and honey. Avoid adding milk, since dairy products tend to increase...

TL;DR in English: Cut back on eating. Snack on healthy fruits. Eat some soup. Drink plenty of water. Drink an herbal tea fever reducer.

A poison ivy rash is an allergic reaction to the oils secreted by the plant. You will have a red rash, swelling and blisters in the area where you contacted the plant.  If you inhaled the burning plant, you may also have breathing issues. This is a serious condition. You should take an antihistamine and get emergency medical help. If you suspect you encountered poison ivy, collect a sample in a plastic bag to show your doctor. Be sure to wear gloves when collecting your sample. Do not touch the plant. Take off your clothes and place them in a plastic garbage bag, if possible. Wash your clothes separately from anything else as soon as possible. You can apply rubbing alcohol to your skin to dissolve the poison ivy or poison oak oils. Because the toxic oil from the plant seeps into your skin gradually, adding rubbing alcohol to the area will prevent the further spread. It won't provide immediate relief, but it will stem the spread. You can also use an over-the-counter cleanser like Tecnu or Zanfel. Only apply the rubbing alcohol in a well-ventilated room, preferably with an open window or vent. The fumes from the rubbing alcohol can make you feel lightheaded. Never use warm or hot water, as this will open your pores and allow more of the toxins to sink in. If you're able, keep the affected area under cold running water for 10-15 minutes. If you're outdoors in the woods when you're exposed to poison ivy or poison oak, then you can rinse your body off in a running stream. Regardless of the location on your body, make sure that it was thoroughly rinsed with water. If you touched the area on your body at all or the poison affected your hands, scrub under your fingernails with a toothbrush in case any oil from the plants was deposited beneath them. Throw the toothbrush away after you're done.  Use a dish soap that is used for oil removal to rinse the area of your rash. Because the toxins have been transferred to your skin in the form of an oil, using an oil-obliterating dish soap may help to reduce the spread of the...

Dampen your skin by soaking your fingers in water for a few minutes, but not long enough for the skin to prune. Use a nail file, pumice stone, body brush, salt scrub, or sugar scrub to sand away some of the nicotine stains on your fingers. Use gentle pressure to rub the grit onto the yellowed area of your fingers just until the stain looks faded.  Do not rub your finger for more than a few seconds since it can cause irritation. The sandpaper from a matchbox will also work. Stop rubbing the area if it becomes red or irritated A dilute solution of bleach and water may also help to get rid of yellow nicotine stains on your fingers. Mix 1 part bleach with 4 parts water for this solution into a glass container. Then, dip a nail brush into the solution and apply it to the yellowed area of your fingers. Leave it on your fingers for a few minutes and then rinse it off.  If this isn’t enough to get rid of the stains, then you can also soak your fingers in the solution for five minute intervals five times a day. After you rinse your hands, apply some hand cream or moisturizer to counter the drying effects of the bleach. You may want to wear a mask when doing this method. Don’t attempt this method when you have an open wound or right after using a different stain removal method. Do not use this method if you are sensitive to bleach. If you use this method and it irritates your skin, then rinse the bleach off of your skin right away. Toothpaste can also help to remove nicotine stains from your fingers. Take any standard brand of toothpaste and squeeze a dab of it onto the yellow area of one of your fingers. Then, use a toothbrush to scrub the toothpaste into the yellow skin for a few minutes and rinse the area with warm water when you are done. Try using a whitening toothpaste for extra tough nicotine stains. Lemon juice is an effective natural bleaching agent that may help to remove stains from your fingers. Use a knife to cut a fresh lemon in half, then take half of the lemon and hold it against the yellow area of your...

TL;DR in English: Exfoliate your skin. Apply a bleach solution. Scrub your fingers with toothpaste. Apply lemon juice. Rub your fingertips with a potato. Dissolve an aspirin in water.

Cutting off the bottom of the stems will ensure that your flowers last for a long time. To cut the stems, use scissors, shears, or a sharp knife. For longer stems, you may need to trim them down so that they fit the container. Aim to make the stems the same length or slightly longer than the length of the container. Any germs or dirt in the vessel can cause your flowers to die early. Use hot water and soap to clean out the container. Rinse it out thoroughly so that no soap remains. Dry it with a towel before using. The water should be slightly warm to the touch but not hot. Let the water sit for a few minutes before you add the flowers. This will release any bubbles in the water. Plant food usually comes in a little packet with your bouquet. If not, buy it at a flower shop or garden store. Add the food to the water to give your plant the essential nutrients that it needs to live. If you can’t find plant food, you can still put your flowers in the vase with the water. Just be aware that they may only last 3-5 days before wilting. Warmer temperatures can cause the flowers to decay faster. Display the flowers in the coolest part of the room to keep them looking fresh and vibrant for longer. If you’re going away for a few days, place the flowers in the refrigerator. Just make sure that they are not close to any fruits. The gases that fruits release could cause the flowers to wilt.

TL;DR in English: Cut 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the stems of the flowers. Clean the vessel thoroughly before using. Fill the container halfway with warm water. Add plant food. Place the flowers in a cool area.

Find the fan, and spray it with compressed air. Vents, do the same. The keyboard may also be sprayed with compressed air. If the laptop is really old (more than just a couple of years), you want to do a thorough cleaning job, and you feel comfortable doing this, find a specific manual for the laptop online that shows you how to take it apart (most laptops are different), and spray each component individually. If you do this, you want to make sure you clean certain parts, specifically, the heat sink (fan on the CPU, look for a fan on a chip on the motherboard). Buy some screen cleaner and use a microfiber cloth to clean the screen. Do not spray directly on screen, spray on cloth then wipe til' there isn't anymore solution on the screen. Be sure to wipe the whole case to make it more appealing. This isn't necessary, but it's a good idea. No one wants to buy a laptop without a power supply.

Read through your work and make note of any sentences you can write with fewer words. Get rid of common filler words, such as “very,” “quite,” and “actually.” Make sure each word you choose for your story is intentional and has a purpose. As you make edits, read through your story again to make sure it still makes sense.  Get rid of any information that’s repeated unless you need it to add emphasis. Use a thesaurus to find words that are stronger and less common. Choose a few people you trust to read through your flash fiction. Tell them exactly what sort of feedback you’re looking for, such as if the story is clear or if it’s interesting. Listen to their feedback when you’re finished and take notes so you know what needs to change in your next revision.  Be prepared to answer questions about your story in case your reader is confused. Talk to a writing professor or teacher to see if you can to see if there’s anything they would edit. Continue rewriting and editing your flash fiction until it uses the least number of words. Keep reading your story and asking for feedback after each edit so you know what to work on next if you need to. Don’t become too much of a perfectionist or else you’ll always find some flaw in your story.

Make sure that Java is up to date. Install the Java SDK if you haven't done so. Download the server JAR file. Move the server file into your "Minecraft Server" folder. Run the server file. Accept the server's terms of use. Double-click the server file again. Stop the server once it finishes running.

You feet expand naturally as you walk on the during the day, and are usually at their most swollen point in the afternoon. If possible, shop for shoes during this period to ensure that you get the best fit. This way you will be sure to buy shoes that accommodate your feet at their biggest, preventing tightness and discomfort later. To get an accurate idea of how shoes fit, wear socks with the same thickness as those you intend to wear with your new shoes when you go shopping. Trying on shoes with the wrong socks will likely leave you with shoes that are too tight or loose. This will also give you a better picture of how the shoes will actually look when you wear them. If you are buying sandals or other shoes you won't wear socks with, try them on your bare feet or bring a pair of nylon knee-highs to wear. Knowing the exact size of your feet can make shopping for shoes much simpler. Ask a salesperson at the shoe store if they can measure your feet using a foot sizer. These measurements will give you unique information, which may prompt you to shop for special styles or brands of shoe. For instance, if your feet are wider than average you might want to shop for extra-wide shoes. Your feet shift in your shoes when you are standing or walking, so your shoes should be slightly roomy. As a general rule, 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) is the ideal amount of space to have between your foot and the shoe material. Test this by sliding your index finger behind your heel to make sure it fits.  If your finger doesn't fit, try on the shoe in the next size up. This is a more accurate way of testing your shoe fit than simply pressing down on the toes of your shoes when you try them on. Good shoes should not have to be broken in to feel comfortable on your feet. When you try on shoes, stand up in them and take a few steps around the store to see how they feel. If you experience pain, tightness, or difficulty walking, opt for a different size or style.

TL;DR in English: Go shopping for shoes in the afternoon. Wear the same type of socks that you'll be wearing with the shoes. Ask the salesperson to measure your feet. Leave 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) between your big toe and the tip of the shoe. Make sure that you are comfortable standing and walking in the shoes.

If your dog enjoys going for car rides with you, take this simple step to help keep it safe. Although most humans wouldn't dare jump out of a moving car, your dog might not be so hesitant. Keep the windows rolled up enough to prevent your dog from jumping out during your drive.  You might also wish to purchase a seatbelt designed specifically for your dog, to keep it as safe as can be during any road trips. Consider locking power windows as dogs may accidentally be able to roll them down. Do not leave your dog alone in the car on a hot day with the windows rolled up. This can raise temperatures to a deadly degree for your dog. A common fall hazard for dogs is any open window in your house that it can reach. Even if the window has a screen on it, your dog may still try and escape, which can lead to it suffering a dangerous fall. Any window your dog can reach needs to be kept closed enough so that your dog cannot fit out the window. If your home has potential fall hazards you should prevent your dog from accessing this areas. Keeping your dog away from these potentially dangerous ares will help keep it safe in your home.  Steep stair cases, lofts without a railing, and balconies are some examples of places in your home that your dog may fall from. Make sure to leave doors to these areas closed. You can buy pet-gates to block off staircases or doorways in your home. Never bring your dog into an area of the house that presents a fall hazard. If you notice your dog stumbling and falling without any apparent reason, it should be taken to your veterinarian as soon as possible. This may be a sign of a medical condition that your veterinarian will be able to diagnose and offer treatment options for.  Inner ear issues or ear infections can cause your dog fall down. Brain tumors, which are more common in older dogs, can also be responsible for your dog falling.

TL;DR in English: Keep car windows up. Leave house windows closed. Keep your dog away from fall hazards in the home. Take your dog to your veterinarian if it falls without reason.

Start at the top of your list and work your way down. Think about how each value is reflected in your life and how closely you follow it. If you feel this value is fully expressed, give yourself a 10. However, if you don’t see this value at all in your life, give yourself a 1. For example, let’s say you value artistic expression. You might give yourself a 10 for artistic expression if you make art, learn about art, go to local art museums, and have a few art prints that you love. However, you might only give yourself a 1 if you have a few books about art but don’t really include it in your life. Ideally, you’ll express your values through your career choice so that you’re fulfilled in your life and work. Think about how your job or career might express each value. Give it a 10 if you feel like your career reflects the value, but give it a 1 if it doesn’t. For example, let’s say you value helping people. If you work at a local nonprofit, you might give yourself a 10 for helping people. On the other hand, if you have a job where you don’t interact directly with people, you might only give yourself a 3, which might make you feel unfulfilled. After you rate your career and your life based on your values, identify the values you hold but aren’t incorporating into your life. These are areas you can work on improving in order to feel happier and more fulfilled. Additionally, it’ll help you find more meaning in your activities. Make a list of the values you want to incorporate into your life more. Use this list as you start to make changes to your life.

TL;DR in English: Rate how your life is aligned with each value on a scale of 1-10. Determine if your career is aligned with each value using a scale of 1-10. Look for values that you aren’t currently expressing in your life.

A logo should not be treated as a simple afterthought.  The logo you design is going to be used to identify your brand or organization for years to come.  A logo is worth putting time and energy into designing.  Before you start designing a logo, take some time to think about your brand identity.  If you are designing a logo for someone else, study the brand or have an interview with the brand owner.  Here are some questions you should ask before designing a logo:  What is the philosophy behind your brand? What makes you different from the competition? Are there any symbols or images that are representative of your brand? Are there any colors or color combinations that fit your brand identity. Once you have an idea of your brand identity, start sketching your ideas.  You can do this on paper, or in Illustrator.  Avoid adding color at this stage. Don't go with the first idea that pops into your head.  Professional graphic designers will often draw hundreds of rough ideas. After you've designed a number of rough logos, narrow it down to a few of your favorites.  Show them to other graphic designers.  If you are designing for someone else, show it to the client and see if they have anything they want to change or add.

TL;DR in English: Think about your brand identity. Draw lots of rough ideas. Get some feedback for your designs.
