You may have difficulty fighting the urge to procrastinate, but keep in mind that feedback and revisions can sometimes take up to a week. If you wait, you may forget a lot of important details from the experiment. Having a rough version of your report at the ready a month in advance can save you from unnecessary stress and from having to turn in unpolished work.  You may have performed supplemental experiments/simulations, or repeated your initial experience after receiving your first round of feedback. Feedback should go through the following stages ideally:   (a) Self-review and revision  (b) Peer review and constructive feedback  (c) Advisor/instructor review and feedback The goal of your experiment or the goal of proving or disproving certain hypotheses is essentially unimportant when you are writing a lab report. The data contained in it could be anything, and you may very well have to write lab reports in the future that seem silly or unnecessary. The goal of your lab report is to be read and evaluated by another person, like your instructor.  It can help to remind yourself of this goal at the beginning of every section before you start writing. When you finish a section of your report, read it through carefully and at the end of it, ask yourself: was that easy to read and understand? Did I succeed in my goal? The narrowest purpose of your lab report is to enable your seniors, advisors, and/or an evaluation committee to confirm your ability to consistently and clearly produce a report. But once you start devising and performing labs of your own, it's quite possible that your peers or juniors will utilize it as a resource. If you believe your paper might be of use to researchers in another discipline, like a social science, you may want to include definitions or explanations for the more technical jargon used in your paper. Take a piece of scrap paper and pencil and list the necessary sections of your lab report in order. Under each section, jot a few sentences that summarize what must be covered in that...

TL;DR in English: Get a head start on your lab report as soon as possible. Write your report with the primary goal of readability. Determine your present audience, and potential future ones. Outline the general structure of your lab report. Break sections of your report into subsections, if necessary.

Lyrically, songs are made up of verses, choruses, and lyrics. Familiarize yourself with these different parts of a song. This will help you establish the basics and begin the songwriting process.  The verses of a song usually have the same melody but different lyrics. For example, in "Eleanor Rigby" the verses all follow the same melody, detailing the lives of various lonely people. If you listen closely, you'll notice all these stories follow the same melody and have roughly the same number of syllables. The chorus is a part of a song that is repeated three or four times, each time using the same melody and lyrics. In Eleanor Rigby, the chorus is, "Ah, look at all the lonely people." A chorus is often used to sum up the theme or main point of a song.  The bridge of a song has a different melody and lyrics than the verse or chorus. It provides a break from the usual progression of the song and the lyrics may reveal a hidden insight in the song. Not all songs have bridges, so including one is optional.  Most songs follow this basic structure: verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus. However, there are many variations. Using a basic structure at first, however, can help give you direction creatively. You can always make alterations to the basic structure as you write your song. If you're a beginning songwriter, a simple melody is important. You do not need an elaborate melody to convey a sad feeling. A simple melody, using a few notes or chords, is the best option for a beginning songwriter.  To start, practice some popular that are also fairly simple. Use a guitar or piano to play songs like Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" or Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." You'll notice that the melodies are not very complex and yet the songs still convey deep feeling.  Experiment. Sit at the piano for a few hours or strum on your guitar. Play a variety of note and chord progressions, feeling around for the right sound. If you're a beginner, it might be best to stick to the 12 basic notes without incorporating flat or sharp...

TL;DR in English: Learn how songs are composed. Be open to a simple melody. Use the minor third, if possible. Listen to your favorite sad songs.

Add 1-2 cups of rolled or steel-cut oats to a warm bath, and soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes. The oats may help soothe the itching and reduce inflammation. After brushing off the ants, immediately rinse the area with rubbing alcohol and leave it wet. Note, though, that alcohol could also make the ant bite worse. Elevate the area and sprinkle a generous amount of meat tenderizer on the area. Golfers sometimes use this method in Florida.  Keep a bottle of liquid hand sanitizer handy in your bag. Apply the hand sanitizer to the bite area liberally after freeing your skin of ants. Let it stay in place. Take Benadryl or equivalent antihistamine when you get back home. This may help lessen the itching and can help to reduce redness. A paste made from baking soda and vinegar may also work. As may vinegar on its own. [citation needed] As soon as you are stung, use ammonia to rinse the area as quickly as possible. This may help minimize the effects of the stings.

Make bite-sized cookie dough balls. Add cookie dough to ice cream. Make truffles.

Put on some rubber or latex gloves to protect your hands. Turn the bottle of dye upside down and shake it. Also stir the mixture to loosen any of the pigment that has settled to the bottom of the bottle. Pour the dye into a disposable container.  Always read the instructions that come with the dye. If you are creating an intermediate color, go ahead and mix the dyes at this time. The basic rules of color mixing apply to leather dyes as well. For example, yellow and blue can be mixed to make green.  You can dilute the dye with water to adjust the color. Play around with the water-to-dye ratio and test the color on swatches before you apply the dye to your boots. Use a sponge brush, paint brush, or cloth to apply the dye to your boots. Apply a thin coat of the dye using long,even strokes in the same direction (e.g. vertical or horizontal). Allow the dye to dry for 30 minutes, and then apply a second coat.  Some dyes will come with an application brush. However, use whatever tool is most comfortable for you. If you are not satisfied with the color after the second coat, you can apply a third coat. Always allow the coat to dry for 30 minutes each time. If you apply your first coat using horizontal brushes, apply the second coat using vertical brushes. This will ensure an even application of the dye. Consider using a small paintbrush for fine details and hard to reach areas, such as the spot where the sole and the heel meet the leather. Test a small area before you apply the dye to your entire boot. Dyes work best if you are going from a lighter to a darker color. If you are making a drastic color change, use an intermediate color to achieve better results. The first color you use will neutralize the original color on your boots. Then follow up that color with your desired final color.  If you are going from white to black, dye the shoes green or blue first and finish with black. If you are going from white to brown, dye the shoes light green first and finish with brown. If you are going from red to black, dye the...

" This basic greeting will work in almost any situation. You could also use "góðan daginn" (good day) or "góða nótt" (good evening/good night) depending on the time of day.  Unlike some other languages, such as Spanish or French, Icelandic doesn't have a separate polite or formal greeting, or a formal version of the you pronoun. Icelandic uses the same greeting for everyone, and addresses everyone by their first names, since surnames aren't really used in Iceland the way they are used in other cultures. You can also use velkominn (welcome) to greet someone. This is typically more appropriate when you are welcoming someone into a place, or meeting someone who arrived at your invitation. " When you ask this question, the person will most likely ask you the same thing in return. They'll likely say "fínt, takk fyrir," which means "I'm fine, thanks," and then say "En þú?" ("and you?") You might also ask "Hvað er að frétta?" which is similar to asking "what's happening?" or "what's new?" in English. The likely response to this question is "ekkert sérstakt," which means "nothing much." When the person introduces themselves to you in return, you can say "Gaman að kynnast þér," which means "nice to meet you." You might then add "ég er frá" followed by the name of your home country, if you want to tell the person where you live. Another phrase that might come in handy is "ég er að læra íslensku," which means "I am learning Icelandic." As you progress in a conversation, the other person is likely going to ask what brings you to Iceland, or what made you want to learn Icelandic. You can respond by telling them some of the things that attracted you to Icelandic language and culture. For example, if you became interested in Icelandic because of your love of the band Sigur Rós, you might say "Ég elska Sigur Rós," which means "I love Sigur Rós." If you are a Sigur Rós fan, you might recognize the word takk as the title of one of their albums. It also means "thank you" in Icelandic. Gætir means please.  The word for "excuse...

TL;DR in English: Greet someone by saying "halló. Say "Hvernig hefur þú það" to ask "how are you? Introduce yourself by saying "Ég heiti" followed by your name. Use "ég elska" to talk about things you like. Mind your manners with takk and gætir. Say goodbye with the Icelandic word "bless.

Using a large spatula, cut a path down the middle of the mixture with the edge of the spatula. Gently turn half the mixture over onto the other half.  Continue cutting down the middle and turning a portion over. This will work even better if you use a large metal spoon or a palette knife to "cut" the egg whites into the mixture. The purpose of folding is to retain the air you have beaten into the whites. Be careful to only work the batter enough to incorporate the whites, and never use an electric mixer for this step. The finished mixture should still look a little lumpy but no egg whites should actually be showing.

TL;DR in English: Fold the egg whites into the batter. Don't stir the egg whites into the batter. Finished.

If you've removed too much hair, the best thing to do is stay away from the tweezers or wax. Let your eyebrow hair grow back in naturally over the course of 3 weeks or so before shaping them again.  Your hair grows in stages, so waiting at least 3 weeks will give enough time for hair at every stage to grow in. Create a very clear shape, and stick to it. Be careful about getting absorbed looking at your eyebrows close-up without seeing the big picture. Take a step back from the mirror occasionally to check that your shape is in line. Don't change the shape of your brow often. This will make it look odd over time. Stick with 1 natural-looking shape and maintain it.

TL;DR in English: Allow the hair to grow in if you've thinned them too much.

Raw cookie dough that doesn’t contain eggs is safe to eat raw, and can be eaten alone or added to other desserts. To make cookie dough balls:  Divide your favorite cookie dough into tablespoon-sized bits. Use your hands to roll the dough bits into small balls. Chill them in the fridge before serving to prevent them from becoming too soft and doughy. Use the dough balls immediately, or store them in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 12 months. Cookie dough balls can be added to many forms of ice cream, including sundaes and milkshakes. To add them to a bowl of ice cream, let the ice cream sit for a few minutes to soften up. When it’s soft enough, add the desired amount of cookie dough balls to the bowl and mix them into the ice cream. Serve in a bowl with a spoon, or transfer to a cone. To add cookie dough to a milk shake, add the balls after the milk shake has been blended, otherwise they will be blended up and lost in the milk shake. Cookie dough can be made into cookie dough truffles by simply adding a chocolate coating. Use a double boiler to melt one cup of chocolate chips. When the chips are melted, remove them from the heat.  You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even butterscotch chips to make the truffle coating. Coat the cookie dough balls. One at a time, roll each cookie dough ball in the chocolate to coat completely. Transfer the chocolate-covered cookie dough balls to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. When you’ve covered all the balls, transfer the cookie dough truffles to the freezer to let the chocolate set. Serve cold.

Live your life in the present, not the past. It is important to give yourself time to grieve after the loss of someone close to you. However, it's also important not to put your life on permanent pause. Continue to pursue your dreams and focus on what you want to achieve in life. If there's one thing you can learn from death, it's that you should never take your life for granted. Live passionately, joyfully, purposefully, as if each day could be your last. You'll feel much more at peace with yourself if you can appreciate the good times without fixating on what could have been. Try to embrace the mistakes that you've made. After all, we are all human, and it's only natural to make errors. If you are genuinely sorry about something, sometimes that's the most that you can do.  Try to think rationally: is it honestly my fault, or was there something preventing me from doing that? Is there anything that I can do about it now, or is it water under the bridge? If you still feel as though the blame falls to you, try talking to someone who was also close to the individual; they'll most likely comfort you and reassure you it wasn't your fault. If you are upset, there's a good chance that other people are, too. Be there for each other. Talk about the person who has died, keep his or her memory alive, and support each other through the difficult days that lie ahead. Try not to shut people out of your life, even if you feel the need to be alone. You will need your emotional support system more than ever in the wake of  this disaster. Throw away or store everything that belonged to that person or pet: pictures, cards, papers, notes, letters, mattress, bedsheets, clothes, shoes, and accessories. Consider renovating or repainting the room that he or she slept in. If you are not surrounded by constant reminders of the past, you may find it easier to move on.  You can store things in an attic, basement, garage, or self-storage unit. The important thing is that you remove everything that reminds you of the person/pet out of...

Between coloring treatments, using an at-home glaze treatment (also called gloss treatment) can help freshen the look of your hair. The glaze coats your hair to add extra shine and sometimes color that can help revive faded hair. The results typically last for 1 to 2 weeks, so you can use a glaze once or twice between coloring sessions.  You can purchase hair glaze treatments at drugstores and beauty supply stores. Most glazes are simply washed into your hair. Apply it after you’ve shampooed and conditioned your hair and allow it to sit for several minutes before rinsing it out. If your roots are becoming too obvious between coloring sessions, a touch-up kit can help. They’re like regular at-home color treatment, but contain a targeted brush that allow you to apply the color to precise sections of hair at the roots. If you’re unsure which root touch-up kit to purchase, ask your colorist to help you choose the right one. If you’re not ready to commit to permanent color with a root touch-up kit, hair mascara is an ideal solution. Like regular mascara, it’s a colored liquid that comes with a small brush so you can apply it directly at the roots. Best of all, it easily washes out with shampoo. Hair mascara tends to work best on darker hair colors.

TL;DR in English: Apply an at-home hair glaze or gloss treatment. Use a root touch-up kit. Conceal your roots with hair mascara.

This has been "deprecated", which means it works but is no longer in use or recommended. This is because HTML is not designed to style content. The  tag will still work, but is now supposed to represent text that is different than the other text, such as misspelled words or Chinese proper nouns. There is virtually no case where you should be using this method anymore. It can be good to know how it was used in case you have to update an old website.     The old underline tag in HTML allowed you to underline  things quickly, but it made things a mess when other  style elements got involved. This is why modern underlining  is accomplished using the "text-decoration" CSS element.

There are several organizations that help needy children connect with stable adults who can guide them through school and life. These programs offer at-risk youth a vital support system. Kids who have a mentor are more likely to graduate high school and less likely to abuse drugs or alcohol. Some mentoring programs include:  Big Brothers Big Sisters of America  Children’s Aid Society  Stand Up For Kids Your local department of child services may also have a mentoring program. Children in foster care often do not have legal guardians who can represent them. A court-appointed special advocate is a representative who looks out for the best interests of a child in court. While they are not an attorney, they do represent foster children in court instead of a parent or legal guardian. CASAs often form personal bonds with their children, thus ensuring that they are protecting the rights and needs of the child.  You can locate a CASA program near you on the CASA for Children website.  You will have to undergo a thirty-hour training program before you will be assigned a case. If you have the space and finances to take in a child, you can foster a child. Foster care is intended to provide a temporary, stable home for a child who has been removed from their parents. The process for fostering takes months, but a dedicated foster parent can change the life of a disadvantaged child by providing support, stability, and consistency during a tumultuous time in their life.  In the US, you will have to apply to be a foster parent at your state Department of Child Services or Department of Social Services. You will have to complete training and pass both a home inspection and a background check.  In the UK, you can contact your local council for more information or find a nearby fostering agency. You will have to pass a Discourse and Barring Service Check as well as a health exam. You may have to go through training.

If you suspect you may have a sensitivity to gluten, bring up your concerns with your doctor. Receive a physical examination to check for signs of swelling and other physical problems. You'll also probably do a complete metabolic panel to check your blood count and organ function. Bring in your food diary, and be as detailed as possible. Be clear. If you're worried about gluten, say, "I'm concerned that I may have a gluten problem and I'd like to be tested for it." Don't leave it up to your doctor to guess. If your GP can't find anything to account for your symptoms, you will be referred to a specialist for treatment and further testing. Abdominal problems are usually quite complicated, and the symptoms can be indicative of lots of different things, so it's important to consult a specialist for more specific testing. Why not go straight to the gastro specialist? It's important to get a once-over from your regular doctor to rule out other possible concerns and receive guidance in this matter. The symptoms of gluten intolerance can be any number of different things, some serious and some not. Eliminate these possibilities first. Most doctors and experts recommend a TG test as the most reliable blood test for Celiac, which should be the first step in testing. Some doctors may also order a more comprehensive panel to check for your overall organ function and health, which may suggest a variety of things. The process is as easy as giving blood, and should only take 10-15 minutes. Most insurance plans cover this test in whole or part. A sample of tissue from the walls of the small intestine is the most accurate way to diagnose Celiac disease. This is a relatively simple procedure that takes less than 20 or 30 minutes in most cases. After being sedated, an endoscope is introduced into the small intestine from the mouth. A small tissue sample is taken to see if the villi have been destroyed by an allergic immune response. If so, this is a strong indicator of Celiac, along with the presence of antibodies. Endoscopes...

It is important to know what to look for to keep your elderly loved one safe. Some warning signs that they might need professional help include:   Changes in their body language. For example, the person may change their posture, their gestures, the physical distance between themselves and people they are talking with, their facial expressions, or tone of voice. Watch for any significant changes in the person’s body language.  Environmental factors. Consider whether they are different in one environment or around certain people. Does removing them from the environment help? Does incorporating soothing scents, sounds, or colors help?  Not getting basic needs met. Consider whether their basic needs are being met. Are they cold, hot, hungry, thirsty, or in pain?  Changes in communication/behavior after a medical diagnosis. If this person has dementia or Alzheimer’s, consider whether they were able to express certain things to you before, but they are not able to do so now. How did they behave before? What was their behavioral baseline before you noticed this change? Did anything help them or make matters worse? If your relative’s behavior becomes increasingly out of control, you may start to feel uncomfortable or unsafe. If words or behaviors become abusive or dangerous, seek outside help from a therapist or other behavioral specialist. You may need to consider ways to feel safer or talk about ways to calm your relative’s anger. A home health nurse can help, as elderly people tend to be harsher with family and not strangers. A therapist can work with you and your family to help find strategies to cope more effectively. Your relative’s words may embarrass you or really hurt you. It’s hard not to take things personally, but keep in mind it is likely not their intention to hurt you or embarrass you. Focus on positive things and less on the negatives.

Do this to avoid damaging his toe pads and to avoid spooking him. Call his name and offer up your gloved hand, holding it flat. If your Tokay moves towards you, slide your hand underneath him. Most Tokays will run away from you if they are not comfortable being handled. Take this as a sign to try the taming session again the following day, when the Tokay may be more interested in having contact with you. Your eyes can be intimidating to your gecko. You can look away and watch your gecko from the corner of your eyes. If your Tokay is comfortable sitting on your hand, raise your hand so it is over your head. Your eyes can be intimidating to your gecko. Placing him above you will allow him to get used to being on your hand. Your Tokay may break a limb or injure himself if he leaps off of a hand and drops a long way to the floor. You may want to sit on the floor while you handle him to avoid injury to your Tokay. Once the gecko seems to be sitting comfortably on your hand, keep him above your head and use your finger to lightly stroke him. Do this for several minutes and then gently put the gecko back into his cage.  Your Tokay may get spooked and run away from you, launching himself into the air and landing on the floor. Be prepared for this by doing a taming session in an open area that does not have any objects or spots where he can hide when he lands on the floor. It can take several taming sessions to get your gecko comfortable enough to be stroked by you, so be patient and go slow. Do several taming sessions throughout the week and build up to stroking the underside of his tail. You need to show your gecko that you are not going to harm to threaten him when you coax him out of his cage. If your gecko seems comfortable with being stroked above your head, you can work to slowly bring him down to body level.

Seeing that a pitcher is using a curveball from the very release will improve your odds of hitting it greatly. The hand position for a classic curve ball orients the seams in the direction of the pitchers fingers, with the tops of his middle finger touching the inside of a seam of the baseball. This will create a U-shape position in the hand of the pitcher. The spin of a curve ball will have a visual effect on it as it approaches you. If you notice an approximately one inch circle or a solid dot where you would normally see the blur of the red stitching, you have a curve ball incoming. Since the most common kind of curve ball sinks as it approaches the plate, pushing forward and being out front will drastically hurt your odds of hitting it. Not only will keeping your body and weight back, you'll increase power and give yourself some additional slivers of a second to react to and crush the curve. Most people who have difficulty with curve balls commit too early with their swing and waste a strike on a ball that was outside their zone. Most knee-high balls will break down out of your strike zone and should be avoided. High curves, however, frequently break into the strike zone. Since a classic 12-6 curve sinks on the approach, rising to meet this ball with your bat is not advised. If the angle of your swing is not spot on, you'll miss the ball or get poor contact. Many experts argue that this is the most critical part of hitting a breaking ball. If you know the kind of break the pitcher will be using, allow the ball to sink into your swing. A little hesitation can be a good thing when the pitcher is throwing an off-speed pitch. You may feel a kind of tension or hesitation once your stride foot comes down. During this critical moment, you should keep your hands and the majority of your weight (about 70%) back, so that in the event the ball is a hittable curve, you are prepared.

TL;DR in English: Watch the pitchers grip. Take a hint from the red circle. Reevaluate your stance prior to the pitch. Recognize the balls trajectory. Let the ball come to you. Make use of your hesitation.

Consider colors like dark blue, brown, and black to be formal. Colors like gray and white can pass as formal but are easy to wear in most situations. More vibrant shades like light blues and reds are trickier to find but work best in casual settings. For the most part, the color doesn't matter as much as the other clothing you choose to pair the sweater with.  Dark colors often work well when you don't wish to stand out very much. Try using a dark-colored sweater as part of an outfit when you're going for a more subtle or professional style. Lighter colors work very well for fun, less serious events. Still, avoid wearing extremely bright sweaters unless you're planning on making a statement. Patterns on sweaters are a lot like colors in that the more you have, the less formal your sweater seems. Everyone notices patterns, so match the rest of your outfit to compliment the one on your sweater. Go for an understated look with the rest of your clothing. Pair your sweater with clean jeans and simple, no-frills shoes.  Argyle, which consists of colored, interlocking diamonds, is one of the most popular patterns available. Keep the rest of your outfit plain to avoid color conflicts. You could wear a plain sports jacket over it to keep it stylish. Houndstooth, checkered, and black and white patterns also tend to be popular and stylish. The most expensive sweaters are made from animal fur like wool and cashmere, so you can expect they will keep you warm. Cotton is a more affordable option that gives you plenty of style options during cool weather. There are also synthetic sweaters made from material like polyester that are lower-quality but often more durable and comfortable against bare skin.  You get what you pay for most of the time. Wool and cashmere tend to be expensive but of a high quality. Many synthetic sweaters attempt to mimic these qualities but are poorly-made, so always give your clothing a test wear before buying.

Recognize your own emotional triggers. Offer to listen to their feelings without changing your mind. Step away while they’re crying or throwing a tantrum. Give them the benefit of the doubt when they try to be nice. Model healthy behaviors.

First, combine these spices in a large, sealable bowl: six minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves, the juice of three limes and one lemon, one teaspoon of cumin, and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix well. Place the flank steak into the bowl and coat with the mixture. Cover and place into the refrigerator. Allow the steak to marinate for at least one hour – but do not marinate overnight. Lightly grease the grill grates of an outdoor grill. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and season it on both sides (lightly) with salt and pepper. Cook the steak on the grill, flipping once, until the steak has reached your desired doneness. Once the steak has finished cooking, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak across the grain into thin slices. You'll need 3 ripe avocados (peeled and pitted); the juice of one lime; one teaspoon of salt; half a cup of diced onion; 3 tablespoons of fresh chopped cilantro; 1 teaspoon of fresh, minced garlic; and one pinch of cayenne pepper. First, mash the avocados in a medium bowl. Squeeze the lime juice and season with salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, garlic, and cayenne pepper. When the guacamole is ready, cover it and refrigerate it until you are ready to dole it into the burrito. If you don't want to make the guacamole fresh from scratch, you can use pre-made or store-bought guacamole. Feel free to simply slice avocado directly into the burrito. Avocado (in whatever form) is a crux of the California burrito. . You can buy frozen, pre-shaped fries, or you can cut your own fries from raw potatoes. Space the french fries out in a single layer atop a large baking sheet. Bake or deep-fry the french fries according to your personal preference and the package directions.

TL;DR in English: Marinate the steak. Cook the steak. Make the guacamole. Make french fries

Drama queens are dramatic by nature and need an audience for this. Asking someone you know is a drama queen how they're doing usually leads to trouble. This can invite a drama queen to vent or complain, so try to minimize interactions that encourage sharing.  Try to be polite to a drama queen, especially if you work with them. However, do not invite small talk. You can say "Good morning" to a drama queen, but do not follow up with, "How is your day going?" In some situations, it may feel rude not to ask a drama queen how they're feeling. For example, if they ask you first you may feel obligated to ask in return. In this case, try to minimize your interactions. Do not let a drama queen talk too much before excusing yourself, saying something like, "I'm sorry, but I'm late to a meeting." Sometimes, you need to know how to decode what a drama queen is saying. If someone is prone to exaggeration, check in with reality when talking to them. This way, you won't get unnecessarily stressed due to someone else's tendency for drama.  Drama queens tend to use hyperbolic language, blowing small matters out of proportion. A drama queen may, for example, say things like, "My boss hates me, so I'm getting fired." They may also lash out at you when feeling dramatic, saying things like, "You never listen to me anyway." These things are usually a drama queen's way of blaming problems on outside drama rather than their own choices. For example, saying their boss hates them is probably an exaggeration. They probably made a poor choice at work and, while they were reprimanded, they will not be fired. Accusing you of not caring or listening is a way to distract themselves from a negative situation by starting fights with friends, family members, and co-workers. Always try to decipher what a drama queen is really saying, and keep in mind the situation is not as dire as they  make it seem. Drama queens tend to editorialize. You may ask them for a run down of events and they may launch into a dramatic story, in which they are often...

TL;DR in English: Avoid asking a drama queen how they're feeling. Recognize hyperbolic language. Tell them to only share the facts. Do not reward negative behavior.

Use special styling shears if you can, as they're sharper and designed for cutting hair, so they'll give you the best results. If you don't have any on hand, use a sharp, accurate pair of regular scissors. Dull scissors will damage your hair by producing jagged ends. Test them on a piece of string to make sure sharpness is adequate.

TL;DR in English: Choose the right scissors.

Once you’ve added all of the water, place the lid on the press. Don’t press the coffee yet, though -- allow the mixture to sit for another 3 minutes so it has time to fully steep. As you become more experienced in making coffee with your press, you may realize that certain types of coffee taste better if they are steeped longer or shorter than 3 minutes. Adjust the brewing time to your personal tastes. After the coffee has steeped for several minutes, it’s time to plunge the press. Push down on the press gently until it reaches the bottom of the carafe. Pushing on the press too hard can agitate the coffee too much and leave it bitter. If you feel resistance when you’re plunging on it, back up the press a couple of inches and plunge it again until you get to the bottom. When you’re plunged the press all the way to the bottom, the coffee is ready. Pour it into cups or a serving carafe, and serve immediately.

TL;DR in English: Allow the coffee mixture to steep for several minutes. Push down on the press. Pour the coffee, and serve immediately.

Those closest to you have a special ability to manipulate you because you love and care about them so much. Also, they know you well, so they know how to really get under your skin. They’ll be able to target which appeal to your emotions will get them what they want:  Love can be used to soften you up, making you feel as though you can’t say “no.” Anger or apathy can be used to make you feel unloved and defensive. Criticism can make you feel like you aren’t doing enough as a lover, sister, or parent. Suffering (theirs) can make you feel guilty for not helping them have a perfect life. Helplessness can make you feel pity for them. Explosiveness can make you feel fearful of them. Sometimes the person might be feeling actual distress, and it helps to talk it out with them. However, you can’t give them what they want. Otherwise, you will encourage the manipulation. You might say, “I’m not going to give you any money, but I love you and want you to feel better. Why don’t you tell me how you’re feeling.” Listen to what they have to say, then share how you feel. It’s okay to take a break from the situation if their behavior is out of control. Their dramatics are meant to manipulate you. They’re hoping you’ll feel bad for not giving them what they want.  Remind yourself that you are not the one who’s causing them to behave this way. They’re doing it to themselves. Tell them, “I’m going to make us some tea while you cry it out. I’ll be back in a few minutes when you calm down.” Unfortunately, emotional blackmail can make you develop a skepticism toward your loved one. This can make you doubt their intentions, even when they aren’t trying to manipulate you. If you accuse them of manipulating them when they aren’t, it harms the relationship. Let’s say your sister texts you to say she loves you and thinks you’re a good sister. You might think she’s trying to get something out of you, but give her the benefit of the doubt. You can accidentally teach your loved one to use emotional blackmail by using your emotions to get...

TL;DR in English:


Pick a quality bag. Pick a bag that fits. Look at smaller backpacks. Consider a rolling backpack. Weigh the bag.

This will match everything and can be dressed up or down, so it is a must have in any capsule wardrobe. A good quality white tee that is not see through can actually be hard to find and is worth spending extra money on. Choose the style that flatters you best. You can pair it with a skirt or jeans and layer it under your blazer or jacket. Wear it alone on a warm day, layer under a sheer blouse, or with your blazer or cardigan. This can be any style that looks good on you. Some examples are button up, wrap style, printed, and chambray. It can be dressed up with a skirt or trousers or casual with jeans. This will be great a slightly cooler day. For even more warmth you can layer with a blazer or jacket. This instantly dresses up your outfit. It can be worn with skirt, trousers, or jeans. Blazers are great staples for women and men. Layer one with blouses, tank tops, and tees. Wear it with skirt, trousers, or jeans. The quintessential “little black dress” doesn’t have to be little, but it should be black. Every woman should own one. Black works with many occasions and is slimming. You can layer with a cardigan, blazer, or scarf to mix up the look. Jeans go with everything and can be worn almost anywhere. This is a staple in any  closets. When buying jeans, don't look for trends (e.g. rips and tears) but for quality and comfort and for what flatters your shape. For men, choose chinos. These can be worn to work or for a nice evening out. Ankle pants are a great alternative to slacks. A tailored pair of trousers can be worn for multiple occasions depending on what you pair it with. A black skirt will match everything similar to how blue jeans match everything. A gray or white skirt could work as well. Choose something not too short or frilly. A well chosen skirt will be appropriate for work or going out in the evenings. These are a little nicer than tees and a staple in any man’s wardrobe. Depending on what you do for work, you may need more of these or none at all. If you wear a suit every day then include a...

TL;DR in English: Find the perfect white tee. Stock your wardrobe with a few classic tees of any neutral color. Add 1 to 3 tank tops. Include at least one nice blouse. Add one or two long sleeved tees or light sweaters. Include a blazer. Add 1 to 2 cardigans. Include a black dress. Stock your closet with 1 to 4 pairs of jeans. Include a pair of trousers or ankle pants. Add at least one skirt. Include a couple each of polos, casual patterned button ups, and oxford button downs for men. Add at a least one dress shirt for men. Consider a charcoal suit for men.

For some RV owners, the tow bar works best, but you can also choose to tow your vehicle using a tow dolly. While a tow dolly props your vehicle on two wheels, the tow bar will pull your vehicle on all four wheels.  If your vehicle can be towed with all four wheels down, then the tow bar will be your best option. Attaching your tow bar often requires modifications to your car, however, so you can't attach a tow bar to a vehicle under warranty. Pulling the tongue of your tow dolly up will require some strength, so physically limited owners may want to choose a tow bar. A tow bar is easier to stow and disassemble than a tow dolly, so if you're planning on attaching and detaching often, you'll want to choose a tow bar. The overall cost of both towing methods is fairly equivalent, so it really comes down to your preference and needs as an RV owner. Before you go about the trouble of attaching a tow bar, you'll want to ensure that your intended towing vehicle can actually transport your other load. Depending on what your towing vehicle is, that vehicle will have a different weight limit, and it's important that you're well aware exactly how much weight your larger vehicle can hold.  If you can't find your owner's manual for whatever reason, you can also resort to your compliance certification label, which is found somewhere near the driver's door, generally. If you cannot find this label, try checking near your door sill. It should be visible when you open your vehicle's front door. In certain cases, your towing vehicle may have to be "broken in" before you are able to tow certain loads. This basically means that you'll have to drive a certain number of miles in the car before its transmission is able to hold the load that you're intending on pulling. The owner's manual for your car will show the weight of that particular model, which should be lower than your towing vehicle's weight limit. If you can't find that owner's manual, you can research your car's weight online. When choosing a tow bar design, you'll be...

TL;DR in English: Decide if a tow bar is your best option. Consult the owner's manual for both of vehicles. Choose a tow bar design. Purchase a tow mounting bracket. Check your braking system. Ensure that you have all the necessary safety equipment.

If you try to stop it, you just can't. He or she has altered your mind somehow and you can't get him or her out of there, everywhere you go and anytime of the day that's all your imagination has in store for you, more of him or her. You sit down for a while and start writing, until you run out of ideas and you start to daydream about him/her and you like it. Until the point when someone snaps you out of it and you go back to reality. Your daydreams seem timeless and you imagine that you and him or her are the only two people in the world. You start listening to slow love songs, and those songs explain a sweet love story and strangely remind you of him or her. Then it becomes your favorite type of music for a long while. You listen to those songs again and again and you just can't get enough, pretty soon you'll know every single one of the lyrics.

TL;DR in English: Consider whether you think about him or her every minute of every day. Notice your daydreaming. Note how music leaves you feeling.

You don’t have to study for long hours. This can be as simple as reviewing the subjects that you studied and skimming summaries of the books that you read last year. A quick refresher will get your mind ready for studying and make the first weeks back easier as you can see them as a continuation of progress that you have made.  Reread your notes. Your class notes will remind you of the material you covered previously, as well as your initial reactions to the material. Do not worry if you don’t fully understand all of the concepts that you review: reexamining and rediscovering specific ideas is a natural part of the learning process. Make a list of what you have learned. If you did not take notes, or did not save them, try a more active approach and list the subjects that you studied the previous year. Look at a report card or transcript if you need. Then, list major lessons and ideas that were covered beneath each subject. You likely cannot remember everything, but the act of recalling previous progress will get your mind ready for mental work. Get a list of what you will be studying in your classes and get a sense for what you will be learning. You don’t have to work ahead if you don’t want. Simply having a sense for what you will be covering will prepare you for success. You may not be given a syllabus or required book list in advance. Some teachers and schools will be happy to supply this information if you ask. Others may not be willing or able to supply this information. Ask politely and be gracious if denied. If you want to get straight A’s, you can develop a study routine with time dedicated to each class before the year starts. If there is a specific subject that you want to excel in, check out introductory books from your local library. If you want to focus on making friends, explore your school’s clubs and activities to find an interesting option that fits your schedule. These are not mutually exclusive goals, but it will help if you know what is most important to you. A good study space will mean...

TL;DR in English: Review what you learned last year. Look ahead. Set specific goals. Pick a study space. Acknowledge your typical distractions.

While some bags may be unnecessarily overpriced, you will find that good quality backpacks with more features and strong materials will cost you a bit more. You'll want to choose quality here, because the longer the bag stays in good shape, the more of a routine you can build around it. Look at canvas bags with reinforced seams costing around the $40.00 range. While you may think that backpacks are one size fits all, know that there are several factors that will make the bag fit better to your frame. You'll have to pay attention to the shoulder straps and the center of gravity.  Make sure the bag has two, wide straps. There are some backpacks that double as shoulder bags: while stylish, they won't be very good for carrying heavy weight as they'll put more weight on one side of your spine. Two wide straps will distribute the weight of the bag evenly to both your shoulders, while narrow straps will dig in and cause pain. Make sure the straps rest comfortably on your shoulders, and aren't too wide or too close together. Too close together, and the straps may feel tight and constricting while resting too close to your neck. Too far apart and they may tend to slip off your shoulders. Check the center of gravity. The heaviest of your books and belongings will rest at the very bottom of the bag, so you want to make sure that that center of weight isn't too low. The bottom of the backpack should rest at your hip line, or right about the height where you'd wear a belt. While your first thought may be to buy the roomiest backpack so you can fit more inside, think about buying a smaller bag. The smaller it is, the less you'll be tempted to overload it. While they might not be considered to be very cool, a rolling backpack can be loaded with a more weight than a carried backpack and can prevent injury too. If you think that you're going to be carrying a lot of heavy books, look into rolling backpacks or briefcases. Make sure they're allowed at your school though, as some schools consider them tripping hazards. You'll...

TL;DR in English:


Choose a cage or hutch Get a hutch with enough space for your rabbit to move and stretch. Give your rabbit a hiding place in the hutch. Keep your rabbit in a quiet area.

A shadowbox is an enclosed glass front picture frame that is wide enough to hold and display items. You can purchase one at most craft stores, and you can choose any size that you prefer for your space. Make sure the frame you choose should is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) in depth in order to accommodate the LED lights you will use later. Make sure your shadowbox has a removable interior frame. You will use it to insert the LED lights between the glass panel and the mirror. Once you have the shadowbox frame you’re going to use, turn it around so it’s face down. You will see some small metal tabs around the perimeter. Move each one up and out of the way so you can remove the wooden backing of the frame. Then, remove the glass and set it aside. Remove the glass very carefully to avoid breaking it. Before applying the film, make sure your glass is clean. Spray it with glass cleaner and wipe it with a microfiber cloth. Turn it over and clean the other side as well. When you’re finished, check that there is no dust or streaks on the glass. Complete your cleaning on a large flat surface, and rub gently to avoid breaking the glass. Grab one corner of the film and start to slowly remove the backing. If you do it too quickly, the film might tear. As you peel, wet the film with soapy water from a spray bottle. This will help to prevent the film from sticking to itself as you unpeel it. Before placing the film, spray your glass sheet with the soapy water. This will help to ensure a smooth application. Place the film over the glass, making sure it is centered. Then, use a credit card to smooth the film on the glass and squeeze out any creases and air pockets.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a wooden shadowbox frame at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) in depth. Disassemble the shadowbox and remove the glass. Clean the glass and wipe it with a microfiber cloth. Peel the film and spray it with soapy water. Spray the glass with soapy water and apply the film to it.

To attach the fence panels to the posts, you can either use rust resistant nails or exterior-grade brackets and screws.   Using nails: Position each fence panel between two posts so that the edges of the panels reach the center of the posts. Use a spirit level across the top supporting rail to ensure the fence panel is level. Use 18d or 20d galvanized nails to attach the panel to the posts, through the top and bottom supporting rails. You may need another person to hold the panel in position as you do this.      Using brackets and screws: Attach three brackets to the edges of each fence panel: one 8 inches from the top, one 8 inches from the bottom and one in the center. You can place a couple of off-cuts of gravel board, pressure-treated board, or spacer blocks at the base of each post to lift the fence panel off the ground while you work. Set each fence panel on top of the gravel boards then screw them to the posts. This prevents the wood from contacting the ground, where it would rot faster. (This three-rail system is the stronger option, but you can use two evenly spaced rails instead.)      Note: Some some store-bought fences will have mortise and tenon joints which you can simply slot into one another, instead of using nails or screws.    In most cases, the bottom of the fence panels should not sit on the ground, as this makes them more susceptible to rot. If you wish to fill in the gap between the bottom of the fence panel and the ground, simply leave the gravel board in the gap and nail each end to the fence posts. Spacer blocks not intended for ground contact should be removed after installing the fence.

TL;DR in English: Attach the fence panels. Fit the gravel board, if using.

This is a quick and easy DIY project that only requires a few materials.  A shirt Bleach A stencil (pre-made or homemade) Spray adhesive Spray bottle A paper towel Make sure that it is clean and without wrinkles so that the bleach spraying comes out correctly. It is recommended to lay down a tarp, an old bed sheet, or some other protector if you are working on carpet. Make sure that the piece of cardboard that you choose is large enough to cover the width and height of the shirt.  The cardboard should be visible in the neck of the shirt and should extend all the way to the bottom hem of the shirt. It should also cover as much of the width of the shirt as possible. Again flatten the shirt to remove wrinkles once you have slid the cardboard inside. There are a couple of different ways to do this, depending on the type of stencil you are using.  If it is a pre-made stencil, you can attach it by lightly spraying spray adhesive onto the back of it. Then, set it on the shirt and firmly press down around all of the edges. If you make your own stencil, you want to be sure to cut it out of adhesive vinyl. Then, again, you can set it on the shirt and press down firmly. Transfer your stencil to transfer paper if it has loose pieces (such as eyes, dots, et cetera) by pressing the transfer paper on top of your stencil. Then, carefully remove the stencil from the paper backing. After that, press the stencil on your shirt, firmly press down around the edges, and gently peel up the transfer paper. Then, set the spray bottle to a super fine mist. You do not want it on a larger mist or spray because it will make a mess and reach areas of the shirt that you do not want bleached.  Diluting the bleach is not necessary. Examine how big your mist is by testing the spray on a spare piece of cardboard. Spray the cardboard, with the spray bottle held about 6-8 inches away, and determine if the mist is appropriate. Remember you are only trying to mist the shirt and not soak it, so just a few sprays all around the area of the stencil...

TL;DR in English: Gather the materials you need for the project. Lay your shirt flat on a table or the floor. Slide a piece of cardboard inside the shirt to protect the back from being bleached. Attach your stencil to the shirt. Pour ¼ cup of bleach into a spray bottle. Spray a light coat of bleach onto your shirt all around the stencil. Blot the area with a paper towel. Give the bleach up to two minutes to pull out the color. Repeat lightly spraying the shirt, blotting up excess bleach, and waiting if the sprayed areas do not lighten enough for your liking. Peel up the stencil once the shirt is exactly how you want it to be. Hang the shirt to dry and check for crystallized bleach. Rinse the shirt in cold water once it is completely dry and free of crystallized bleach.

Gum paste will begin to harden if exposed to air. Keep unused portions in a sealable bag or air-tight container to retain moisture. After you take it from the container, the gum paste may be stiff. Knead it in your hands a few times to make it soft again. Dip 1 end of the toothpick into the food coloring. This covers the tip of the pick and allows you to apply little bits of color at a time. Wipe the toothpick against the paste, transferring the color. Roll the toothpick to get the coloring off all its sides. A pair of kitchen or latex gloves will prevent the color from staining your hands. Use your palms and fingers to work the color into the gum paste. Continue kneading until the color is uniform throughout. This will take some time to achieve a solid color. If the color is too dark, you can knead in more untinted gum paste to lighten the shade. Add more food coloring as needed to darken the color of the gum paste. Add color a little at a time to make sure you get the color you want. Since gum paste decorations are mainly intended to be looked at and not eaten, as much coloring as is desired for even the deepest colors can be used. Use a new toothpick each time you need to get more coloring from the jar.

TL;DR in English: Select this procedure when you need small amounts of several different colors. Work with a little bit at a time. Refresh the gum paste. Use a toothpick to get the coloring from the container. Apply food coloring to the gum paste. Don a pair of gloves. Knead the color into the paste. Get the right color.

that your rabbit can enter or leave at will. This doesn't mean that you have to leave the hutch open all the time. However, when the hutch is open, the rabbit should be able to go in and out without you having to pick it up. Look for a hutch with a door in front instead of (or in addition to) a hinged or removable top. This will allow your rabbit to hop in and out comfortably without your assistance. If your rabbit lives in cramped conditions, it will feel stressed and trapped. Select a hutch where your rabbit can stretch out in all directions and stand up on its hind legs without its ears touching the top.  At minimum, your rabbit should be able to take 3 hops from one end of the enclosure to the other. Ideally, the hutch should be either permanently attached to a larger exercise run or placed in a room where the rabbit can go out and explore safely at any time. This could be something as simple as a cardboard box or a paper bag that your rabbit can retreat into. If your rabbit has no place to hide out when it's feeling scared, tired, or insecure, it will begin to feel stressed out and frightened all the time. If you have more than one rabbit, you should have at least one hiding place per rabbit. Your rabbit will feel safest in an area that is quiet, well-ventilated, and neither too hot nor too cold. Keep your rabbit in a place where it will not be disturbed by other pets, loud noises, or lots of foot traffic.  Your rabbit should be able to eat, drink, sleep, play, and explore without feeling like it is in danger from potential predators. Ideally, at least one side of the hutch or cage should face a wall. That way, your rabbit won't feel like it always has to watch its back.

You can obtain sample rental applications online or from your local real estate association. The application will furnish you with all the necessary information to conduct a background check and assess whether the applicant would be a good tenant. The rental application should ask for:  the applicant’s full name, social security number, date of birth, contact information, and driver’s license number and state of issue (also, make a copy of license). current and previous addresses, dates of residence, contact information for current and former landlords. current income, dates of current and past employment, the names and contact information of current and former employers. banking and credit references for a credit check. contact information for three personal references. Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires landlords to ask permission to perform a credit check. In order to comply with the FCRA, you must have a completed credit report authorization form before obtaining an applicant’s credit report.  If a potential tenant refuses to sign a credit report authorization form and allow for a credit check, you can deny him or her the ability to rent the property. This is someone that you could interact with frequently, from paying the rent to addressing maintenance concerns, and you want to make sure they are friendly and respectful and that you are comfortable with them as a tenant. During the interview ask of potential tenants:  Why are they moving? Do they have any pets and are they housebroken? Do they smoke? Indoors or outside? Who else will be living with them now or in the future? Do they have any friends or relatives who frequently spend the night? What is their typical work day like? Do they work nights? Can they pay the first month’s rent and security deposit before moving in?

TL;DR in English: Require potential tenants to complete a rental application. Request potential tenants complete a credit report authorization form. Interview the applicant in person.

When you're at the flower shop, you might be tempted to buy the tulips with fully-opened, vibrantly colored petals. This would be a fine choice if your tulips were meant to "wow" for a one-night occasion, but if you want them to last a long time, choose tulips that are still tightly closed, with some green buds that aren't fully colored yet. The flowers will open over the course of a few days, giving you more time to enjoy them. If you're  cutting your own tulips and you want them to last as long as possible in a vase, cut them before they're fully opened. Cut as close as possible to the ground. When you bring the tulips home from the shop, keep them wrapped in paper towels or a washcloth soaked in fresh water. This will ensure that the tulips don't start prematurely drying out on the way home. Do this even if the distance from the flower shop to your house isn't very far. Any time out of water will cause the tulips to age faster. Use a small pair of clippers and cut the stems at an angle. This will help them readily soak up water from the vase. If the stems have any leaves that would be submerged in water when you put them in the vase, remove them. The leaves could start rotting and cause the flowers to go limp before their time.

TL;DR in English: Choose young tulips. Wrap the stems in wet cloth or paper towels. Cut 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) from the base of the stems. Remove extra leaves from the base of the stems.

Enter the full name, post code, and member number of the person you want to add and click “Add Customer to my Friends and Family.” The people you add to your Friends and Family will also have to add you to their Friends and Family before either of you can buy tickets for the other. This may depend on when you will be in the area, or there might be a specific match you know you want to see. However, if you have some flexibility with timing, you may want to choose a match based on how likely you are to get tickets.  Cup matches are generally easier to get tickets for than Premier League matches.  Premier League matches are divided into categories A, B, and C, with tickets for Category A matches being in the highest demand.  Tickets to Premier League away matches almost always sell out to members, who have access to tickets before the general public. The date and details of ticket sales vary from one match to the next, so it’s always a good idea to double check. Information about tickets for each match will be published in the Liverpool Echo, a daily newspaper, and also on the LFC website at http://www.liverpoolfc.com/tickets/tickets-availability.  Along with the date, make sure you know what time the tickets will go on sale (in your time zone), as they are likely to sell out fast. Tickets...

TL;DR in English: Create an account on the LFC website. Set up a Friends and Family account for anyone you will buy tickets for. Choose which match you want to attend. Check to see when tickets go on sale. Use the website’s seat map to find the best seats available. Purchase your tickets with a credit or debit card.

Some basic foot care can help your feet look smooth and soft. Doing regular foot soaks can help remove dead skin cells and moisturize your feet.  A foot soak should last around 10 minutes. Any longer could leave your feet dry and cracked. Aim for lukewarm water. Water that's too hot or too cold could cause redness and other damage.  You can soak your feet in plain water. If you have sensitive skin that tends to react poorly to additives, this might be your best bet. However, adding certain ingredients can help make the foot soak more relaxing and help moisturize and clean your feet.  Sea salt, Epsom salt, dried flowers, oatmeal, and essential oils are all great potential additives. Be careful, however, when using essential oils. You have to dilute most oils in a neutralizing substance, such as olive oil, prior to use or it can cause skin irritation.  Listerine is a type of mouth wash that some doctors recommend for foot soaks. Mix one part Listerine with two parts warm water. Soak your feet for 15 to 20 minutes and then apply a moisturizer. A major factor in caring for your feet is selecting the right shoes. Shoes that are too tight can cause calluses, pain, and other damage.  Contrary to popular belief, foot size can change over time. Go to shoe store and have your feet measured before selecting shoes. A salesperson can assist you in determining what size shoe would work best for you.  Keep in mind most people have one foot that is slightly larger than the other. Select shoe size based on the larger of your two feet. It's better to have shoes that are slightly too loose than shoes that are slightly too tight.  When standing, there should be about  3/8" or 1/2" inch, about the width of a finger, between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.  Walk around in shoes for awhile before making a purchasing decision. Make sure shoes don't chafe or rub in any uncomfortable places.  Taking these precautions with your shoes is the main way to prevent issues like corns, calluses, and bunions. Damages like ingrown...

Gather your materials. Cut the fabric in half. Hem the long edges. Create rounded corners. Sew the rounded edges together. Wear the sling.

If there's a positive activity that your teen enjoys doing, support them 100 percent. Purchase a new sketchbook if they like drawing. Attend events to watch them play the drums. Praise and support them whenever they are trying to do good.  This might sound like, "You seem to really enjoy drawing. How about we go to the store together and pick out a sketchpad for you to work in?" Think about it: the more time your teen spends doing constructive activities, the less time they have for destructive ones. Make it mandatory across the board that all kids in your family get involved in the school or local community. This might include participating in a band, a sport, or a club. They may also volunteer for a cause they care about.  You can leave it up to your teen to decide which activity they want to participate in, but just make sure it's clear that they have to engage in something. Participation in extracurricular activities helps your teen form positive relationships with peers and reduces the time they have to engage in delinquent activities. Does your teen seem to favor a particular teacher, coach, or community role model? If so, ask this adult if they'd act as a mentor to your teen. This provides the teen with multiple sources of support and others to talk to about what they're going through. Have a talk with this role model beforehand. Be sure the person shares your values and won't act as a negative influence. Completing chores that are more demanding than those you’d give younger kids, tackling a big project around the house, or working a part-time job can all help your teen build character and a sense of responsibility. Think about things they enjoy doing and use that as a starting place.  For instance, if your teen likes children, you might allow them to take on babysitting jobs after school and on weekends. If they are really interested in working on cars, you might sign them up for a mechanics class at a nearby vocational school. Then, set the expectation that they will only be able to attend if they...

TL;DR in English: Encourage them to pursue constructive passions. Require participation in at least 1 extracurricular activity. Connect them with supportive role models. Give them opportunities to be responsible.

You can find out if anyone is distributing copies of your music by creating a Google alert. Once you create the alert, Google will send you an email whenever it finds new content posted online that matches your search terms. To create an alert, you will need a Gmail account. Go to the Google Alerts page and enter the information you want to have an alert created for. You should create alerts for:  your band’s name (such as “Radioactive Redwoods”) names of each of your songs (e.g., “A Cry in the Forest”) if you have a copyright in lyrics, then sample lyrics You should get into the habit of reviewing every alert at a set time of the day. For example, you might want to look at your alerts the first thing every morning. Try to get in the habit so you don’t skip a day. If you see that someone has posted your music on a website, then you will need to send the website owner a “takedown” notice. If the owner promptly removes the music, then they can’t be sued. Nevertheless, you must send a notice informing the owner that your music appears on their website. ” Before sending a takedown notice, you must make sure that you have a justified claim of copyright infringement. In other words, the use of your music can’t be “fair use.” You need to decide whether the use of your music is “fair use” before sending a takedown notice.  Fair use is a vague concept which essentially means that some people can copy certain portions of your music in some situations. The court will look at multiple factors, such as how much of your music was sampled and whether the person sampling it “transformed” the sample. The court will also consider why the person sampled your music—for example, for educational purposes or to make money—and whether the sampling had a negative effect on your ability to make money from the song.  Generally, you will be justified in sending a takedown notice in most situations. For example, if someone uses an entire song or a large portion of the song, then you are justified in sending a takedown notice. However, in...

TL;DR in English: Create Google alerts. Review your alerts daily. Decide if the use is “fair use.

This can include original products, novelty items, or things around your home that you’d like to clear out. Your listings must fall under Amazon’s predetermined categories, and keep in mind that some categories—such as DVDs, footwear, handbags, and sports collectibles—will need approval from Amazon before you can sell them. If your item meets Amazon’s requirements, you can apply for approval by filling out their “Contact Us” form. If you’re listing a product that other sellers offer, you can use the descriptions and stock images already provided. Once you find a listing for the exact item you're selling, click the "Sell yours here" button on the right-hand side of the page. The only additional information you need to provide is how many products you’re selling, the item’s condition, and the shipping methods you offer. If you’re selling items that aren’t already available on Amazon—such as a product specific to your company—you’ll need to complete a new item listing. This requires a UPC/EAN Number (a unique barcode) and the item’s SKU (stock keeping unit). Add a product title, price, description, images, and search terms to complete the listing. Original items mean less competition, but they do take longer to set up. Third-party sellers automatically get bumped from the default first-choice seller position when Amazon.com offers the item. Look for and sell items that are only offered through other third-party sellers to improve your sales. This default seller position is also known as being in the “buy box,” and it’s the easiest way to get the most sales. To get the coveted “buy box” position, offer competitive pricing or build up your customer feedback rating.

TL;DR in English: Decide what you want to sell. Use pre-existing item information for items already listed on Amazon. Add item information for new products not already listed on Amazon. Aim to sell items that don’t list Amazon.com as a seller.

Most cat bites occur when cats feel that they have to defend themselves. If you have pet cats, teach your children to understand your cats' body language. A cat that is scared may:  Hiss Growl Lay his ears flat against his head Become pilo erect, in which the fur stands up, making the cat look bigger than usual Frequent situations in which a cat may become aggressive include:  When she is cornered If her tail is pulled If she is held when she is struggling to get away If she is startled or hurt During rough play. Instead of allowing your cat to wrestle with your hands or feet, drag a string and let the cat chase that instead. Strays often live in cities or towns, but they may not be used to close contact with humans. Don’t try to pet them or pick them up.  Don't feed stray or feral cats in areas where they will come into contact with children. Cats that are not used to people may react unpredictably.

TL;DR in English: Learn how to recognize when cats are feeling threatened. Be gentle to cats. Avoid interacting with stray cats.

You will need fabric that is at least 23.5 inches (59.7 cm) wide. (Many fabrics are sold in widths of 45 inches.) To calculate the length, measure from your shoulder to your opposite hip. Then double that number and add six. In addition to fabric, you will also need matching thread and a sewing machine. If you are starting with fabric that is 45 inches (114.3 cm) wide, cut it in half length-wise. Each of the resulting pieces will make one pouch sling. Hem both of the long sides of your fabric by folding the edge of the fabric down 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) onto the wrong side and securing with a row of stitches. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, and then again widthwise so that the four corners are lined up. Then cut a small arc from the bottom (folded) area to the top edge, as if making half of a smile. Cutting all four of your corners at once will keep your arcs symmetrical. Now sew the four corners that you just rounded together using your sewing machine. This seam will be weight bearing, so it's best to use a strong seam, like a French seam. For a French seam, start with the wrong sides of the fabric facing each other and sew a seam just above the raw edges. Then turn the fabric inside out and sew another seam just above the raw edges. Try to make this seam as narrow as possible. This should encase your first seam. Lastly, turn the sling right side out again and stitch the seam flat along the inside. To wear your sling, fold it in half lengthwise with the hemmed edges together, putting your head and one arm through the center. It should be draped over one shoulder like a sash with the edges up and the seam in the front. This makes a pocket in which to place the baby.

TL;DR in English:


Schedule time to be together every day. Plan with your spouse. Give each other what you need.

Informing your loved ones of the nature of your baby’s birth defect will help others know what to expect and how to safely interact with your child. Talking about your feelings and emotions with regards to your baby’s birth defect may help you cope by relieving stress and sharing your struggles with people who care about you and are willing to support you. There are many national and local groups that offer support for families with a child living with a birth defect. Search online for group meetings or outings with other parents and families. Some families find engagement and activism tremendously helpful in coping with a birth defect. Volunteering at birth defect awareness groups and working to prevent birth defects in other children may provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment once the initial adjustment has taken place. In some cases, you may wish to seek the help of a professional in dealing with the news of a birth defect. Realize that it is natural to feel overwhelmed and stressed when learning to cope with birth defects.  Do not be afraid or ashamed to seek assistance, as receiving formal help may make the difference between an unhappy initial experience and a successful transition to life with your new baby. Health care counselors may be able to give specific, useful advice for caring for children with particular birth defects. They will also be informed of the most recent treatments, interventions, and research and will be able to link you and your child with the best options for care and support. Psychological counselors can help you work through feelings of anxiety, fear, inadequacy, apprehension, and sadness. If you feel overwhelmed and depressed for more than a few weeks, consider seeking the assistance of a professional for talk therapy or emotional support.

TL;DR in English: Discuss the birth defect with family and friends. Search for a local support group. Seek professional counseling or advice.

When you see your crush, grab his gaze and hold it. Smile at him. Hold that look for a few seconds and then look away. Repeat it again and if he’s interested he’ll mirror your cues.   Use the flick technique: Meet his eyes, let your gaze fall to his mouth, and then lift them so that your eyes meet his again. Pair that with a coy grin.  When you know he’s watching you, play with your hair a little. This lets him know that you notice him noticing you. Fake it till you make it. The more you allow yourself to relax into the situation and feel comfortable with it, the more confident you will seem. Confidence is an aphrodisiac for men so use it generously.  Don’t fidget with or hide your hands as its often a sign of nervousness. Place them on your hips or leave them out in the open to promote better posture and signal to him that you are open. Keep your chin up and eyes level at all times, even as you walk to project confidence. Take care of your appearance. Groom with products that leave you smelling good and feeling good: like conditioners, lotions, fragrances, etc. Pay attention to the details. He’ll remember you from your back and forth looks. Comment offhandedly about something in class or make a joke. This takes the pressure off an initial one-on-one encounter and can feel a lot more organic than the individual approach attempt. If you’re feeling brave, approach him directly. If not, make approaching him more comfortable by setting the scene. The setup will provide the icebreaker you need to get the conversation going.   Bump into him and apologize frantically. Place your hand in your hair and laugh at yourself for running into him. Drop something, like a book or a pen, as you walk past him. He will either run after you to return it to you or you can retrieve it yourself and explain that you are clumsy.

TL;DR in English: Send cues of interest. Be confident. Approach him with his group of friends. Create an opportunity.

Your study sessions are most effective if they have some direction. Just blindly studying can be overwhelming and you may waste time fumbling to figure out where to start. Before each study session, figure out what topics are most pressing and set goals.  For example, if you're studying for a math final, focus on one concept each day. You can study multiplication one day and things like division the next. You can also set goals based on days of the week. Focus on your math and science courses on Mondays and Wednesdays and your humanities courses on Thursdays and Fridays, for example. You'll be most energetic at the beginning of your study period. Therefore, it makes sense to begin by studying the most challenging materials. Tackle the most difficult subjects and topics first before targeting your strong points. For example, if you're really struggling understanding a concept for a philosophy class, study your notes and reading on that concept first. Then, you can move on to easier topics. Studying requires a lot of memorization. It can help to simply rewrite your notes and reword them as you go. Read over all your notes for one session and then rewrite them on a separate sheet of paper. This will force you to engage with the material and write it in your own words again, which increases understanding and helps you remember what you've learned. Memory games can help you remember tough concepts and terms. You can use visualization techniques or string together words that help you remember concepts. These can be highly useful for an exam.  For example, a well known memory device is Kings Play Cards On Flat Green Stools, used to help you remember the taxonomy order used to classify species (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species). You can also use visualization. For example, you're trying to remember Jeanette Rankin was the first woman to serve in Congress and you have an Aunt Jeanette. Picture your Aunt Jeanette talking on the floor of Congress to help you remember. No one can study for hours on...

TL;DR in English: Create one goal for each session. Start with difficult material first. Rewrite your notes. Use memory games. Take breaks. Study with a positive attitude. Give yourself rewards.

The base is the large number in the exponential expression. You can only use this method if the expressions you are multiplying have the same base. For example, you can use this method to multiply 52×53{\displaystyle 5^{2}\times 5^{3}}, because they both have the same base (5). On the other hand, you cannot use this method to multiply 52×23{\displaystyle 5^{2}\times 2^{3}}, because they have different bases (5 and 2). Rewrite the expression, keeping the same base but putting the sum of the original exponents as the new exponent. For example, if you are multiplying 52×53{\displaystyle 5^{2}\times 5^{3}}, you would keep the base of 5, and add the exponents together:52×53{\displaystyle 5^{2}\times 5^{3}}=52+3{\displaystyle =5^{2+3}}=55{\displaystyle =5^{5}} An exponent tells you how many times to multiply a number by itself. You can use a calculator to easily calculate an exponential expression, but you can also calculate by hand. For example 55=5×5×5×5×5{\displaystyle 5^{5}=5\times 5\times 5\times 5\times 5}55=3,125{\displaystyle 5^{5}=3,125}So, 52×53=3,125{\displaystyle 5^{2}\times 5^{3}=3,125}

TL;DR in English: Make sure the exponents have the same base. Add the exponents together. Calculate the expression.

Part of prioritizing your marriage and working on intimacy is spending time together. Your marriage can’t be a priority if you don’t make time for it. Take a look at your daily schedule. Find a block of time each day where you can be with your spouse.  You may have to cancel something, rearrange certain responsibilities, or make certain things easier and quicker to make time for your spouse. For example, you may choose to make a quick, easy dinner so you and your spouse can have half an hour after dinner to spend talking. You may ask your spouse to pick up the kids instead of you, go to the gym in the morning, or move a stack of work to the next day. Spend at least 15 to 30 minutes together with no electronic devices. Talk to one another about your days. Hold one another. Kiss. Spend this time enjoying each other and connecting. You can’t work on increasing the intimacy in your marriage alone. It has to be a joint effort between you and your spouse. When you are figuring out how and when to spend time together, make sure you plan together. Don’t plan it and tell your spouse. Instead, work together. This can also start to increase intimacy.  Sit down together with your weekly calendars. Think of times you can squeeze in 15 or 20 minutes to be together. If evenings are bad, consider mornings or lunch dates. See if close friends or family members would be willing to watch your kids now and then so that you can spend some time alone with your spouse. For example, you could ask your children's grandparents or a friend who has children around the same age. Every person needs different things to feel an intimate connection. Some people are more physical, while others are more emotional. You and your spouse should discuss what you need from each other to feel more intimate.  For example, you may say, “I need to be touched more, like hand holding, hugs, or your arm around me” or “I need you to be more affectionate. I’d like it if you smiled at me, complimented me, or acted happier to be around me.” Meeting your spouse...
