You can use any silverware or paper napkins you like. You can choose to use napkins that are all white, solid colored, or patterned. Just make sure they are square shaped and large enough to hold your silverware.  Make sure your paper napkins are high quality and durable. You do not want them to rip while folding. Avoid cocktail napkins that are only 9 1⁄2 inches (24 cm) square. Use lunch or dinner napkins, which are typically 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) square, and large enough to hold standard size silverware. To begin, put your napkin flat on the table. Then, place your knife on the napkin so that it lies diagonally. The point of the knife should be just slightly past the corner point, about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). Where you place your knife is very important, as this how far your cutlery will stick out of the napkin roll when you’re finished. Make sure the knife doesn't stick out too far, or your silverware may fall out of the napkin. If you’re worried about your silverware roll unraveling, hold it in place with a paper napkin band. You can find napkin bands in a variety of colors online or in stores. Most are self-adhesive, so all you need to do is place it tightly around the completed napkin roll and secure it in place. If you’re using napkin rolls for a wedding or other special event, you can find some online stores that allow you to customize your napkin bands. Add your personal style to the napkin roll by tying a ribbon or string around it. You can tie the ribbon or string in a simple knot, or make a bow, depending on your personal preference. If you used a napkin band to hold the napkin in place, you can tie the string or ribbon around the center of the band.  Match your silverware display to the current season or occasion. For example, for a graduation party, wrap silverware in a white napkin and a red ribbon to look like a rolled diploma. You can place all of your rolled silverware in a basket for a nice silverware display at a buffet.

TL;DR in English: Obtain cutlery and a square paper napkin. Place the knife on the napkin diagonally. Use a napkin band to hold the silverware in place. Tie a string or ribbon around the napkin for added decoration.

While most everyone experiences nights of not being “in the mood”, disorders occur when problems occur regularly and impact the experience of sex. Think about when the problems occur and how they influence the experience of sex. The following are 4 different types of disorders:   Desire disorder: This occurs when you have little or no interest in sex for an ongoing amount of time. For women, things like contraceptives can greatly lower or eliminate desire.   Arousal disorder: Arousal disorder occurs when you want to have sex, yet your body does not respond.  Orgasm disorder: Your body and emotions may be engaged in sexual activity, yet you are unable to climax, which can leave you feeling frustrated.  Pain disorder: Pain disorder occurs when any part of sexual activity is painful, particularly intercourse. A lack of orgasm is called anorgasmia. Your provider may ask you questions about psychological and emotional factors that may cause anorgasmia, such as sexual inhibition, lack of experience, feelings of guilt or anxiety, or a history of sexual trauma or abuse.  Some medications or chronic diseases can cause problems with arousal and orgasm. Sometimes anorgasmia can be helped with sufficient stimulation. Stress if often a major culprit for sexual dysfunction. However, medical and psychological factors may affect sexual satisfaction. Diagnoses such as diabetes, heart disease, neurological disorders, and hormone imbalances can also cause sexual dysfunction. Medication side-effects, drugs, and alcohol can also influence sex. If you’re above the age of 65, the likelihood of experiencing lower sexual response is increased. There are some sexual problems that can result from psychological causes. These can include having poor body image, mood disorders, relationship problems, or past sexual trauma. Psychological causes can result in a lowered libido, decreased desire or arousal, failure to achieve orgasm, or a lack of sensitivity in the genitals. Factors such as inadequate sex education, religious beliefs,...

TL;DR in English: Look into the categories of sexual disorder. Identify difficulties with orgasm. Identify the medical causes of sexual dysfunction. Discuss psychological causes. Take sociocultural and economic factors into account. Rule out asexuality. Discuss the problems with your healthcare provider.

Emphasize your written and verbal communication skills. Convey that you’re professional and work well on a team. Relay your other strengths which would be beneficial in a call center.  Call centers look for employees who are good at multi-tasking, working in a fast-paced environment, learning quickly, and meeting goals. For example, you can explain how you met a measurable goal through a previous job, volunteer work, or a challenge at school. The typical education requirement for an entry-level call center agent is a high school diploma (or equivalent). Show up early and dress appropriately. Show a willingness to be flexible with your role and schedule. Be enthusiastic to learn about the company and its policies/procedures.  For example, your potential employer may ask if you’re willing to take on different roles, such as inbound sales, outbound sales, or customer service. Explain how your specific experience has prepared you for meeting various responsibilities. Try asking a question about something you found on the company’s website or social media page(s). This will show that you’ve done your research and are interested in the potential employer. Expect that your new position will require a period of training. You may be trained in language, products and services, and software. Make sure that you attend all of your training without missing a day.  Training typically lasts between one and four weeks. After training, a supervisor will likely be assigned to a group of employees including you.

TL;DR in English: Prepare a resume. Give an impressive interview. Be willing to go through a training process.

Solve an anagram by rearranging the letters of a word to reveal the hint, which, along with the definition, will help you find the clue’s answer. As with the previous clue, “edict” becomes “cited” after you shuffle the letters in the wordplay around.  Spot an anagram by looking for words that indicate change or modifications. Common anagram indicator words include “transfer,” “cook,” “dress,” “out,” “off,” “moved,” or “lost.” The words you will need to jumble will be located either directly before or after the indicator word. For example, the following clue is an anagram: “Dress suiting a saint.” “Saint” is the definition and “dress suiting a” is the wordplay. “Dress” indicates that this is an anagram because it implies change. Since there are no words preceding “dress,” you know that the words that follow it, “suiting a,” are the words that need to be rearranged. “Suiting a” can be reshuffled to reveal “Ignatius,” a saint! Anagrams are often the longest words in the crossword puzzle. Charades are formed by joining parts of words from the clue together to create a new word. Charades do not usually have indicator words, but typically contain words such as “has,” “with,” “and,” or similar conjunctions.   You’ll often need to think in terms of synonyms to know which words to join together. For example, in the following clue, “wave cereal bowl,” “wave” is the definition. By process of elimination, you know you are working with the words “cereal” and “bowl.” If you look for synonyms, you’ll get “bran” (for cereal) and “dish” (for bowl).  Using the charades method of combining words, you’ll get “brandish,” which is the answer because it is a synonym of your definition, “wave.” In addition to synonyms, you may need to work with word abbreviations in order to solve charade clues. For example, “place on bottom of sack:” “Pl” is the abbreviation for “place” and “under” is a synonym for “on bottom.” Combine the two to get “plunder,” which also means “sack” (your definition). Identify a hidden-words clue by recognizing...

TL;DR in English: Rearrange the clue's letters when dealing with anagram clues. Join parts of words together to find the answer with charade clues. Combine letters from different words to answer clues with hidden words.

Do not use a commercial jewelry cleaner on costumer jewelry because the solution is usually too harsh. Instead, mix one drop of baby shampoo into one cup of water. Stir the mixture together with a spin or other utensil. Don’t put vinegar or any other acidic ingredient into the mixture. Dip a soft toothbrush or Q-Tip into the mixture. Gently scrub over the surface of the jewelry. Make sure to clean the hard-to-reach spots and small areas. You may want to use a toothbrush for the larger areas, and a Q-Tip for the smaller areas. After you are done scrubbing, rinse the solution off of the jewelry in cold water. Do not use warm water because it can loosen the glue. Make sure all of the mixture is rinsed off and then dry the jewelry with a towel or microfiber cloth. Use a hair dryer to make sure that the jewelry is completely dry. Any leftover moisture can cause rust. Make sure to use the cool setting. A warmer or hot setting can cause the piece to warp or glue to melt. Keep each piece of costume jewelry in its own zipper plastic bag. Be sure that all oxygen is removed from the bag before storing it. Keeping the jewelry from being exposed to oxygen will keep it shinier for longer between cleanings. You can also purchase a velvet-lined jewelry box that has a lid instead of using plastic bags. Or, you can store the plastic box inside of the jewelry box.

TL;DR in English: Mix baby shampoo and water. Use a soft toothbrush or Q-Tip. Rinse in cold water. Dry with a hairdryer. Store in plastic bags.

If your spouse has complained to you about your family, you want to work to solve the problem as quickly as you can. Ignoring or delaying addressing the issue can result in a resentful spouse.  Ignoring the problem will make your spouse dislike being around your family even more, and it will also start to impact your relationship. Let your partner know how and when you plan to address the issue. For example, you could say, “I’m going to bring this up when my mom and I have lunch next week.” Having a concrete plan of action will ease your spouse’s mind and will hold you accountable to follow through. Bring your concerns to a family member (perhaps one who could share the information with other family members as necessary) on behalf of your spouse. Your family has more experience in relating to you than your spouse. You also understand your family’s dynamics better than your spouse, and you have a better idea how to interact with them.  Have a conversation with your family member over the phone or in person. Let them know how your spouse feels. Listen to your family member’s perspective. Keep in mind, your family member may have no idea that their behavior has hurt your spouse. Ask for suggestions on how your family member thinks the situation could improve. For example, “What do you think we could do to help Carlos feel more included?” Explain how your spouse views the situation. Share your spouse’s feelings and give any background information you think is important.  Present a united front and indicate that this is causing you pain as well. For example, “Lena feels that you don’t like her after you said she wasn’t a good mother for not taking more maternity leave. She called you out on it, and both of us think you have been cold to her ever since. Did you know she only got two months of paid leave? It hurts both of us that you said that about her. It is not true, and we feel it was mean-spirited.” Find out if there is an issue you might need to address with your partner. Your spouse may not be an innocent...

No matter what kind of surgery you are going to have, it is important to be knowledgeable about all of its aspects. Knowing the significant details of your surgery can help you prepare mentally and emotionally.  Your doctor/surgeon should provide you with a lot of detail, so don't worry too much about doing extensive independent research. Usually, most details of your surgery will be explained during your first appointment. As an autoimmune disease, lupus affects you systemically. This means that when you are considering an upcoming surgery, it's important to take into consideration the various organs that can be affected indirectly. Your primary care physician and any specialists you have will know the details of your lupus, and can inform your surgeon of any additional accommodations he or she must make for your disease.  For example, if you have a joint condition, your rheumatologist will give you a recommendation letter about all the drugs you have taken because some drugs may interact during surgery. For other affected systems like the heart (cardiologist), kidney (nephrologist), digestive tract (gastroenterologist), and nervous system (neurologist), doctors will give recommendation letters, including the details of laboratory tests, drugs, and any prior interventions. Some medications can interact, causing harmful effects during or after surgery. Informing your surgeon of any over-the-counter medications or prescriptions you take will allow them to monitor and prepare for any potential drug interactions.  All medicines including vitamins and herbal supplements should be taken down in notes including the dosage and the frequency on how many times you’re taking them per day. Additionally, take note of any dietary supplements that may not immediately come to mind as medications.  Vitamins and supplements such as vitamin E, gingko biloba, and garlic can increase your risk for bleeding. Herbal supplements such as Kava, St. John’s wort, and Valerian can interfere with the medicines that are used for...

TL;DR in English: Know every detail of your upcoming surgery so you can prepare. Get special recommendations from your other doctors to avoid complications. Make a list of all medications you have taken for your surgeon. Talk to your doctor about steroid use to avoid complications during surgery. Know that some blood thinners are safe to use prior to surgery. Inform the surgeon or nurse if you have Raynaud’s phenomenon to ensure proper circulation. Tell the surgeon or nurse if you have Sjögren's syndrome to avoid dryness. Sleep well before the surgery to relieve stress.

Make sure that you do not make a public response to the insult unless you have allowed a little time to collect yourself first. Take some deep breaths. Because we cannot use tones and gestures to clarify where we're coming from, it is best to think deeply about how you use your words before jumping in. Size up the insult, the offender, and the context so that you can respond to (or ignore) the insult to best recover your reputation and your dignity. Consider the following information:  Is the person behaving in a way that is aimed at intimidating you? Will this insult hold weight for other people in your network--does it bring to light any real, current issues? Is this someone with whom you have a history of not being able to see eye to eye? How do you feel about continuing to be a part of that site or community? Did you receive an overly rude and vengeful scolding in response to your activity on the site? Consider your own role, too: Have you played any part in escalating conflict with this person, accidentally or on purpose? Sometimes simply ignoring the insult is the best way to respond. This is usually the case when the insult is very petty and clearly misinformed. A response is appropriate if it is important for controlling the damage done to your image, and not just defensively trying to strike back. Remember that responding can further provoke the offender, and a stream of conflict can be more damaging to your online presence than the original insult.  For example, if the insult is in response to your critical opinion of drilling for oil in the Arctic and it says "**** you, you ******* hippie", you may want to just ignore it. If you do respond, keep it brief. Countering an attention-seeking insult with a cool, measured reply will present as having the care to consider what was said and the wherewithal to see its pettiness. You can try a response like, "I'm disappointed that my attempts to bring a social issue to light has not been effective." After you give a brief public response, you can choose to...

TL;DR in English: Take time to consider your next move. Gather the facts. Decide to respond or ignore the insult. Report violations and abuses. Choose web affiliations wisely.

To make your salt dough ornaments, you will need one cup of plain flour, half a cup of salt and half a cup of water. You will also need Christmas themed cookie cutters (stars, Christmas trees, angels, wreaths, etc.) a cookie sheet, a rolling pin, some toothpicks, ribbon, and acrylic paints and glitter glue for decorating. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and water and stir until it forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour -- though not too much, as this will cause the dough to crack. With a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) in thickness. Use your Christmas themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes in the dough. Place each shape on a floured surface as you cut out the rest of the dough. Before you bake your ornaments, you will need to make a little hole at the top of each where you can thread a ribbon to hang the ornament from your tree. Use a toothpick to make punch a hole near the top of each ornament, rotating the toothpick a little to make the hole wide enough for your ribbon to fit through. Place your salt dough ornaments on a floured cookie sheet and place on the middle shelf of an oven preheated to 250 °F (121 °C). Bake for two hours, then remove from the oven, place on a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Once the salt dough ornament have cooled, you can decorate them using the acrylic paints and glitter glue. Depending on personal preference, you can use a small paint brush to paint on intricate details, or you can simply cover the decoration in one block color. You can also glue on sequins, button and crystals for extra decoration. Cut a length of ribbon - preferably in red, green or white - and thread it through the hole at the top of the ornament. Secure with a knot and hang from the tree. If you like, you can write the date on the back of the ornament to remember when you made it!

TL;DR in English: Gather the ingredients and equipment. Make the salt dough. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Make holes in each ornament for hanging. Bake the ornaments. Decorate. Thread the ribbon.

rite the melody first. It's very difficult to set pre-existing rhymes and words to a melody after the fact. Most songwriters find it much easier to compose the melody and then go about composing a set of lyrics that fit in with the tone and the structure of the song.  Many songwriters find it helpful to sing nonsense syllables or whistle to figure out the melody and establish a base form for you to fill with words. Go with whatever technique works best for your process. Bob Dylan, considered by some to be one of the greatest songwriters ever, often wrote words first. Give it a shot. A popular and important technique in country music especially, a good song will often "turn" a phrase, or use a line to mean more than one thing throughout the course of a song, when used at different times. In Kacey Musgraves' "Blowing Smoke," the phrase "blowing smoke" is used at different times to refer specifically to waitresses on break smoking cigarettes, and also to boasting of quitting someday, referring to both the job and the habit. It's an effective technique that changes the meaning but not the words. Avoid overloading your lines with too many words, making your song a tongue-twister that can be difficult to sing. As you compose, use words judiciously, leaving out more than you put in. A simple and quick rhyme that's simple can be much more effective in a song than a lot of "poetic" words. In "The Butcher," Leonard Cohen makes a brief and devastating rhyme out of drug use: I found a silver needle. I put it into my arm. / It did some good, did some harm. Novelist and Beat writer William Burroughs pioneered a method of writing that involved cutting up rhyming words and phrases and throwing them into a bag. Try doing the same and removing phrases at random to collage together a tapestry of weirdness for your song. Music is amenable to that kind of writing. The Rolling Stones employed this technique for their song "Casino Boogie":  One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam / Pause for business, so you'll understand.

TL;DR in English: . Learn to "turn" a phrase. Use as few words as possible. Try automatic forms.

During white’s opening move, they’ll usually move a pawn to e4 to take control of the center of the board. Take the pawn that’s in front of the bishop on the queen’s side and move it forward 1 space to c5. You can capture pieces on either b4 or d4, which prevents your opponent from moving another piece to the center. The white player will usually move the knight on their king’s side to f3 to defend the d4 and e5. After white’s second play, move the pawn in front of your queen 1 space forward so it’s on d6. That way, you’re protecting the first pawn you moved as well as defending the e5 square in the center of the board so your opponent can’t move there without getting captured. White’s next move is usually moving their queen’s pawn to d4 so they control 2 squares in the center. Move the pawn on c5 diagonally toward your opponent’s pawn on d4 and remove it from the board. While your pawn’s now at risk for an attack, you and your opponent now have even control over the center of the board. Your opponent will typically capture the pawn you just moved with their knight so they have control over the center again. Take the knight on g8, on the king’s side of the board, and move it to f6. With your knight there, you now have pressure on your opponent’s pawn at e4 and the empty square at d5. The white player will want to defend the pawn so you can’t capture it, so they’ll move their queen’s knight to c3. That way, if you capture their pawn, they can capture your knight. Move your knight from b8 to c6 so it can access the center of the board. From this position, your opponent may capture the knight, but they will put themselves at risk of being captured by a pawn.  You may also move the pawn at a7 to a6 to help defend your king if you’d like. You could also move your pawn at g7 to g6 so you can move the king’s bishop out of the back row. That way, you can castle on the king’s side.

TL;DR in English: Move your pawn to c5 to assert control over the d4 space. Put the queen’s pawn on d6 to protect the center squares. Capture the pawn at d4 with your pawn from c5. Move the king’s knight to f6 to put pressure on the center. Develop your queen’s knight to c6 to force your opponent to attack.

Eating is one of the ways rape survivors try to deal with the traumatic experience. Many survivors of sexual assault strongly feel that their own appearance led to the assault. They may resort to binge eating or extensive starving (anorexia, bulimia). They may also use eating as a coping strategy because altering their appearance and making themselves unattractive makes them feel safe and secure, thereby minimizing their chances of sexual abuse in the future. Signs of an eating disorder may include:  Significant weight loss or gain. Preoccupation with food or dieting Yellowing teeth or bad breath Lowered body temperature Refusing to go out to eat Habits at mealtime, such as cutting food into small pieces or pushing food around plate Seek help by talking with a doctor, counselor or support group. The National Eating Disorders Association has resources to help you with an eating disorder. Survivors of rape often feel so shameful and embarrassed about what happened that they try to disfigure, distort or mutilate the body parts which have been violated or the body in general. They may be hoping to get a sense of relief. Some self-harming behavior might include cutting, biting or burning oneself. If you are thinking about self-harming, try these immediate steps:  Walk away from the object you were planning to use to self-harm. Leave the room. Write down your feelings in a journal. Draw on yourself with a marker on the spot where you were going to self-harm. Call or text a friend. Get more assistance from S.A.F.E. Alternatives. This organization offers resources regarding self-harm. Sexual dysfunction is often an after-effect of rape. Sexual dysfunction can take various forms, such as an inability to enjoy sex, pain during intercourse, vaginismus (when the vaginal muscles involuntarily contract during penetration), or decreased sex drive. Sex therapists can often help deal with sexual dysfunction.  Rape survivors are often concerned about their partner's reaction and behavior. They may wonder how their sex life...

TL;DR in English: Recognize if you have an eating disorder. Recognize if you're self-harming. See a sex therapist.

The difference in size will leave a portion of the underlying rug exposed, producing a harmonious framing effect. This is probably the simplest way to layer rugs, and one of the most pleasant and effective from a design standpoint.  Top elaborately patterned rugs with neutral colors in rooms in need of a modest infusion of flair.  Make sure the rugs are made to the same basic dimensions. Otherwise, concentric layering can end up looking lopsided. If your goal is to make a given room look a little more relaxed, leaving the rugs slightly askew will help you achieve this. Uneven layers will also allow you to switch things up in areas with overly linear organization and fill oddly-shaped nooks.  For a more effortlessly casual style, drape the rugs in a more or less random manner. You can also offset rugs at regular intervals, keeping the edges and corners lined up, to add depth without making the setup look sloppy. Avoid covering up more than half of a rug with another, or they make look unbalanced. Choose a thin, pliable rug to go on top of another rug in order to minimize trip hazards. An oblong or rectangular rug stretched over a broader covering performs the same function as a traditional table runner, only from below. Position a long, narrow patterned rug in the center of a wider neutral one serving as a base. You can reserve a space for a combination runner under a dining table, inside an alcove or down the middle of a short hallway.  Layered runner rugs tend to look best when they’re the same length but differ in width. Assemble your own custom runner by connecting several smaller rugs. Disrupt the monotony of plain, dull carpeting with an array of attractive rugs. For instance, a bold solid color draped over an intricate woven pattern can lend a much-need jolt of personality to a basic beige carpet. A good rule of thumb is to look for layers that fall at the opposite end of the design spectrum of your base, such as bold or dark colors on top of lighter ones, or vibrant designs that offer a place for the...

TL;DR in English: Place a small rug on top of a larger one to create a frame. Overlap 2 or more rugs for a homey look. Set down a runner for a pop of color or texture. Layer rugs over carpet to break up the space.

Chelsea boots are comfortable and versatile so they make an ideal shoe for your on-the-go look. Feel relaxed yet look stylish by wearing any color boot with a t-shirt and your favorite jeans, shorts, or leggings.  Pair Chelsea boots with relaxed-fit, bootcut jeans or your favorite comfy leggings for a more relaxed look. While it’s cool to let jeans hang over the top of the boot a little bit, you want the hem of jeans to stop before your ankle. Choose a shorter jean, cuff them, or tuck them into the boot so everyone can see your boots as you walk. For a picnic in the park or a stroll around the farmer's market, wear your Chelsea boots with a short, flirty dress or a nice pair of pants and button-up shirt.

TL;DR in English:


Familiarize yourself with basic horse body language. Always be aware of where the horses are. Create an inviting rather than demanding presence before you approach. Approach the horse diagonally from the front whenever possible. If you have to approach from the rear, approach at an angle. Use your voice to let the horse know you're approaching. Let the horse smell you. Give the horse a small treat if you have one, and if you have permission from the horse's owner. Pet the horse.

You may be so busy dealing with a serious break-up, a job loss, or another significant event in your life that you don't have time to shower or get more than a few hours of sleep a night. However, if you want to be mentally strong, then you have to be physically able, too. If your body is in a funk or you're just feeling unkempt, then you'll be even less equipped to deal with the challenges. No matter how awful you're feeling, you need to make an effort to shower, brush your teeth, sleep, and get into a normal routine, so that you can start feeling as "normal" as you can. Make sure to make time for mental breaks when you're caring for yourself, too. Studies show that taking mental breaks, whether you're just daydreaming or closing your eyes and listening to a song that you love, can help ward off those stress chemicals and will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed. Your self-esteem depends on, among other things, how you value yourself. It's important to form a positive perspective about yourself and about life in general to ensure resilience. In acquiring competencies and responsibilities, you nourish your self-esteem, so it is important to get involved in life and not withdraw into yourself and feel threatened. If you feel that you are worthless, then you will feel incapable of tackling challenges.  Use self-enhancement by paying close attention to your positive qualities, while minimizing your negative ones. You can begin by making a list of everything you like about yourself. Seek value through using your talents and abilities to their fullest, be it in a professional, volunteer, business, home front, or other capacity. Learn new abilities and skills as often as you can. This will strengthen your self-esteem and can also ward off fears. For example, if you're afraid your children might be hurt some day, take a basic first aid course to reduce your sense of fear and to increase your confidence in being able to cope should something happen. Workshops, seminars, courses, etc., are all good ways to improve...

TL;DR in English: Take care of yourself daily. Sustain your self-esteem. Nourish your creativity. Stay physically fit. Make peace with your past.

Ask yourself if you ever put up walls to avoid getting hurt. Opening up to someone can feel risky, and it’s okay if you’ve ever been afraid to let someone get too close. Falling in love involves making yourself vulnerable, and understanding your defenses is the first step to lowering them.  If you’ve had relationships in the past, think about times when you avoided getting close to your partner. For instance, maybe you didn't tell them how much you liked them out of fear that they wouldn't feel the same. It’s tough to think about defense mechanisms, especially since they’re usually related to getting hurt in the past. Try to be honest with yourself, and remember that everyone has insecurities and fears. Remember that no one’s perfect, and accept yourself for who you are. Embracing yourself can help make it easier to open up to a romantic partner and fall in love with them.  That said, there’s always room to grow. For instance, you can't make yourself taller or shorter, but you can work on eating healthy and exercising to be your healthiest self. Remind yourself that you’re a great person, and you have a lot of wonderful qualities! Look in the mirror and tell yourself, “You’re a good person, so don’t be afraid to be yourself! Let your guard down, and allow yourself to fall in love.” Everyone has an inner critic, and sometimes self-critical thoughts can become irrational and unrealistic. If you notice yourself thinking things like “You’re no good” or “They’ll never love you,” stop the thought process and remind yourself to stay objective. Playing hard-to-get and withholding feelings are common practices in today’s dating world. However, it’s better to be honest about your feelings. While you don’t have to share every little detail on the first date, try to be authentic instead of playing games.  For instance, if you went on a date with someone and had a good time, tell them. If you want to text, “Thanks for a fun night! I had a great time,” do it. Don’t feel like you have to wait 3 days before calling or...

TL;DR in English: Identify your defense mechanisms. Accept things about yourself that you can't change. Redirect overly critical thoughts. Resist the urge to play games. Don’t be afraid of rejection.

Consider your guests' first contact with your hotel and do what you can to make that as positive as possible. If you have parking attendants, they should greet guests warmly and treat the cars with respect. If you can afford a doorman, guests should be welcomed and guided in to the hotel lobby. Your desk clerks should always be attentive and friendly. As the manager, you need to impress the importance of the first impression on all your staff. You always need to look at your hotel with the eyes of your guests. Ask yourself if it looks attractive, and find ways to improve it. You may need to hire a groundskeeper or landscaper. You should have a cleaning staff, and supervise their work so they meet your standards. Ensure that all fixtures are working and up to current expectations.  You may be limited by your location, but you can always do something to make your hotel attractive. If you are in the middle of a large city, you obviously cannot provide an attractive front lawn. Even so, you can bring potted plants and indoor decorative trees to your lobby to provide a fresh appearance. Small touches, like providing artwork for the guestrooms and public areas, can greatly improve the appearance of any hotel. Guests will remember people who go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. This may include opening a door, holding an elevator, or carrying luggage into the room. As the manager, you can hire the appropriate staff to provide services. If the hotel budget does not include such staff as bellhops and doormen, you can still encourage your staff to be as helpful as possible. Your staff need to treat all customers with courtesy and respect. Managing a hotel is a service industry, and you and your employees need to realize that you are there to serve the guests. Even when a guest is rude, inappropriate or demanding, the staff needs to be respectful.  Encourage staff to listen to what a guest says rather than how the guest says it. A rude or demanding attitude is generally the guest's way of expressing that...

TL;DR in English: Make a positive first impression. Provide an attractive setting. Look for ways to be helpful. Stress staff courtesy. Provide clean, comfortable rooms. Follow up on guest satisfaction.

Take a piece of rectangular paper and place it in front of you so the paper is in portrait format, with the longer edges to the side. Fold it in half lengthwise from top to bottom, so  that the fold is at the "top" of the piece of paper. Your paper ship is now complete! It’s ready to take out for a sail on the storm-tossed seas- O.K., maybe just the backyard kiddie pool.

TL;DR in English: Fold paper in half. Look at your creation.

It's very important to be able to tell the difference between a happy, inviting horse and an alarmed or frustrated one when you approach the animal. Look for the following signs:   Comfortable signs (if you see these, proceed):  Having relaxed, "soft" eyes that aren't staring at you Turning his head or front quarters toward you Licking his lips Ears pricked towards you. Having a peaceful, relaxed overall body position    Uncomfortable signs (if you see these, back off and do not approach):  Moving or running away from you as you approach Having, intense, wide eyes or eyes that are staring at you Pinning his ears (moving them back against his head) Bearing his teeth or trying to nip at you Rearing up on his legs or kicking Flicking tail repeatedly in aggressive fashion, often with back legs stomping. It takes only a moment for a horse to run up behind you and possibly rear up on you. Make sure you can see where the horses are and keep watch.  Horses can get startled by almost anything. If a horse seems to be running towards you,  to make sure you don't get trampled raise your arms to appear larger and say in firm calm, voice "whoa" or "get". This will help with getting the horse to head another direction. With horse behavior, there is an idea of pressure and release. Horses are herd animals, and will most likely not stand in an area waiting for you to approach them. Simple things, such as making eye contact, is actually putting pressure on the horse, cueing him to move away from you. The number one rule for approaching horses is to make sure that they know you're coming. This is easiest (by far) if you come at the horse from the front and slightly to the side (to avoid the blind spot right in front of it). If you can, approaching from the front-left of the horse is even better: many horses are trained specifically to work with humans on their left side and as a result are most comfortable with this.  It actually is a myth that horses prefer one side over the other. It is us humans that over the years have...

Building a barebones system can be a cost effective option, allowing more advanced users to save 30 to 50 percent over the cost of a pre-assembled system. A barebones system can be customized to suit your specific needs. This method is a good option for those who wish to avoid the proprietorial restrictions computer manufacturers place on service contracts. Building a barebones system requires a certain level of expertise, exceeding that of the average user. The typical barebones system may only include a power supply, motherboard and case. Various components will have to be installed, such as an optical drive, RAM memory, video cards, audio cards and hard drives. Remember that, typically, no technical support contract or warranty will be included with the purchase of a barebones system. Additionally, no operating system or software bundle will be included, which can raise the price of a barebones system to exceed that of a pre-assembled system. Keep in mind the price issue can be completely resolved if you use Linux.

TL;DR in English: Consider the advantages of purchasing a barebones system. Consider the disadvantages of purchasing a barebones system.

While the crab’s tank is drying, you should give him a good clean too so he does not bring mites back into the tank. Use room temperature dechlorinated water to give your crab a bath at least one to two times.  Place your crab in the bowl of water. Turn your crab upside down to get all the air bubbles out of his shell. Then, pour the water off your crab into the bowl. The mites will drain off your crab along with the water. Pour out the mites in the water, down the drain of your sink. Do this once more or until all the mites on your crab are gone. Make sure there are no mites in your crab’s shell. You can also use a paper towel to squish any of the mites on your crab gently and carefully. Draining, wiping, and rinsing your crab should all help to remove the mites. You can get mite specific medication for hermit crabs from a vet that specializes in arthropods or from an exotic pet supply store. This is a good option if you have tried the plain water method and the boiling method, but the mites still have not gone away. You should also avoid using bleach solution to clean your crab and your crab’s tank. There is a high amount of chlorine in bleach that can blister your crab’s gills and make him ill.

TL;DR in English: Wash your crab in a small bowl of dechlorinated water. Use mite specific medication for hermit crabs.

The first step to lowering your cholesterol through food is to start basing your diet on whole foods and limiting the consumption of processed foods. This means eating foods that have been minimally processed or not processed at all.  Eat whole grains like brown rice or whole wheat pasta, oats and barley. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Apples, grapes, strawberries and citrus fruits are rich in soluble fiber called pectin that lowers cholesterol. Try making a smoothie each morning to get the recommended five to seven servings each day. Stick to lean, unprocessed meats. For example, choose chicken breast over a hot dog. Adopting new food practices means taking some time to plan for meals and then shop for the necessary ingredients. Set aside 30 minutes each week to plan your meals.  Try making a master list of healthy and easy weeknight dinners. When you sit down each week to meal plan, you can draw from this list. Ask your family to help with meal planning. Let them look over your master list and make suggestions for the week ahead. Whenever possible, cook your own meals or eat foods you have previously prepared at home. This will give you control over the ingredients and allow you to make healthy food choices.  Prepare foods ahead of time like chopped raw vegetables, grilled chicken breasts, or brown rice. These can easily be turned into a variety of whole foods-based meals during the week. Try making rice bowls for an easy weeknight dinner. Top bowls of brown rice with your favorite meats, vegetables, and seasonings. Try brown rice topped with grilled chicken, black beans, veggies and salsa. You can even make the rice and grill the chicken ahead of time.

TL;DR in English: Base your diet on whole, unprocessed foods. Plan your meals and shop weekly. Cook meals at home based on whole foods.

Foundation can make or break a look, so you want to choose a one that will work for your style and your needs.  You can use foundation to get anything from a nearly naked skin look to a flawlessly smooth matte finish.  For a luminous glow, choose a lightweight water based liquid foundation.  Apply sparingly to skin. Finish the look with a pressed powder that has a little sparkle. You can also skip the powder and instead try spritzing your finished face with mineral water for an extra glow. A dewy face looks healthy and fresh.  Make sure you choose a foundation that has a moisturizer in it and is oil based rather than water based. You can get a matte finish from several different forms of foundation: a matte liquid, a mousse, or a matte powder.  You want to make sure your skin is oil free before and during applying the foundation, so start with a very clean face and try using a primer base.  Use a brush or sponge to apply the makeup so that you don't get oil from your fingers on your face. For instance, if your plans include physical exertion or humid conditions, a foundation that is water-resistant or sweat-resistant but still breathable would be appropriate.  If you're attending a formal event, a foundation that has staying power but has shine control will help you look your best in photographs.  If you're heading for the gym or the tennis court, a sweat-proof foundation that isn’t too heavy and won’t clog pores, with an SPF of at least 20, is a good choice.  If you are selecting a foundation for work or school, avoid going too cool in tone.  The fluorescent lighting in most buildings can make you look pale, so adding a little warmth can compensate.  For proms, formal events, or weddings, choose a foundation that won't fade and will keep your skin looking picture perfect.  A semi-matte to matte foundation is a great option because these foundations are usually long-lasting and cut down on shine.  If you are typically in and out all day, or in natural light most of the time, look for a sheer foundation that...

TL;DR in English: Have a clear idea of the look you want. Keep in mind your environment as well as your plans. Don't wear the same foundation color year round. Mix colors for a perfect match. Dilute a heavy foundation with moisturizer. Pick a foundation made for your age.

The empty roll should be on a plastic spindle or roller. Remove both the empty roll and the roller holding it. Slide the spindle out of the grooves it is resting in, by lifting it upward and to the rear of the dispenser. Smaller tape dispensers may not have a spindle. You should see a plastic core (or roller) with the empty cardboard tape roll surrounding it; remove both of these from the dispenser. Slide the empty tape roll off its spindle, and discard it. If the empty roll is cardboard, it can probably go in with your paper recycling. Remove a new, full roll of tape from the box. Check the box to make sure you've got the correct size for your dispenser. Hold the full roll so that when you pull the tape, the strip of tape will unwind across the top of the roll. The sticky side of the tape will be facing down, toward the floor. (If you are holding it the wrong way, the tape will extend away from you, as it pulls from the underside of the roll; the sticky side of the tape strip will be facing upwards, toward the ceiling.) Slide new roll of tape onto the tape dispenser spindle from either direction; most rollers will fit into the dispenser either way. Hold the spindle so that the paper tab on the end of the roll is facing up and toward the front of the dispenser. Slide the spindle and the new full roll of tape back into dispenser. Settle it into its holding grooves so that it moves freely. Hold onto the paper tab at the end of the tape, and pull it towards the cutting edge at the end of the dispenser. Pull the tape over the sharp edge, and pull down on the tape to cut off the colored tab.

Losing weight is not always healthy, and in fact can be quite harmful if you are already at a healthy weight or rely on inadvisable methods.  Talking to a doctor or registered dietitian before embarking on a program is the best way to set the proper goals and methods for your healthy weight loss.   Peer pressure and body image issues can make school-age young people particularly susceptible to the mistaken belief that they need to lose weight.  If you are healthy just the way you are, focus only on maintaining that health and increasing your self-esteem and confidence. If you do need to lose weight, don’t focus on a set number, or trying to look just like some famous person or popular schoolmate.  Instead, establish with a professional what your healthy weight range should be and how best to reach it. You may want to believe that there is some miracle fix that will let you shed five pounds in the week before school starts; however, any fad diet that promises such results is either a lie or detrimental to your health.  Also, even if they do work temporarily, quick-fix diets don’t produce lasting results. Aiming to lose 1, and possibly at most 2 pounds per week is considered healthy for most people.  Consult your doctor or dietitian. If you really want to lose weight before the new school year starts, your best option is to begin the process as soon as the prior school year ends.  The tortoise and the hare weren’t concerned with shedding pounds, but “slow and steady” is definitely the way to win this race.  If you want to lose weight and keep it off then you need to make lasting changes to your lifestyle, including how you eat, how you think about food, and how active you are in your daily life.  This takes time, as it requires you to recondition your brain and body. Weight loss works best when it is not a solo endeavor.  Everyone needs a boost, an encouraging word, or a kick in the pants from time to time to succeed.  Getting family, friends, and trusted advisors involved is your best option.  It can be tough...

TL;DR in English: Consult an expert. Be realistic. Give yourself time. Rely on a support network.

Rather than looking at yourself in the mirror when you take your selfie, keep your eyes on the screen of your phone. Not only does this help you make sure you’re getting a good shot, it also prevents you from looking awkward or forced. Don’t put on a huge smile, either. Instead, try a slight smirk or pout for a cooler vibe. To get into one of these leg-lengthening poses, imagine that you’re taking a baby step forward. Step slightly forward out to one side or cross one foot in front of the other.  You can also point the toe of your foot that’s out in front. This will make your legs appear even leaner. Don't step out too far in front or too far out to the side or you'll look unnatural. To highlight what you’re wearing, place your feet about hip-width apart and square your shoulders so you’re directly facing the mirror. Stand up straight with your shoulders back so you don’t look slouched over in the picture. You can do whatever you want with your arms. Let them hang naturally at your side or place one hand on your hip for a sassier pose, for instance. Mix up your mirror pictures by getting creative. For example, sit cross-legged on the floor in front of the mirror or put a foot up on the counter if you're taking your selfie in the bathroom mirror. If you're in the bathroom, you can also try sitting on the counter for a playful picture.

TL;DR in English: Look at the camera instead of the mirror to avoid looking cheesy. Place one leg out in front of you or cross your legs to look thinner. Stand facing forward with your legs slightly apart to show off your outfit. Try a variation like sitting in front of the mirror for a unique selfie.

A foundation of Wing Chun is the protection of your body's center line. Imagine a line that starts at the middle top of your head and travels along the middle of your chest to the lower body. This is the center line of your body and it is the most vulnerable. It must be protected at all times.  According to the center line theory, you should always attack down the center line and perform your defensive moves against your opponent’s center line. The basic open stance in Wing Chun is based on the theory of the center line. In the open stance, stand facing forward with your knees bent and your feet pointing slightly outward. By facing your opponent head-on, you are able to attack with the most balanced force. A key Wing Chun principle is that, during fighting, energy should be used conservatively and economically. Use your opponent’s energy by deflecting or redirecting blows.  Use motion economically and wisely. The idea here is that your body should travel the shortest distance in a minimum amount of time to connect with an opponent. This also helps to conserve your own energy. A tense body will use energy unnecessarily. Keep your body relaxed and you will be more at ease. If you have experience in other martial arts, (especially "hard styles"), you will have to "empty your cup" or unlearn bad habits. Wing Chun is a soft style with many neutralizing techniques that require you to be "soft" and relaxed. Reconditioning your muscle memory and building relaxed habits can be frustrating and takes time, but it will be worth it in the long run. In Wing Chun, the fighter will react to a fight using quick reflexes to interrupt an attack and change the fight to be on your terms. Your opponent might be tall or short, big or small, male or female, and so on. Similarly, the environment in which you fight can be different – outside, inside, rainy, hot, cold, and so on. Be ready to adjust your fighting to suit the conditions. The practice of Wing Chun is broken into a succession of six different forms, each of which builds on...

TL;DR in English: Learn the center line theory. Be wise and economical with energy. Stay relaxed. Hone your reflexes. Alter your fighting strategy according to your opponent and environment. Learn Wing Chun’s forms.

The Atlantic Ocean is home to only one kind of salmon, Atlantic salmon. Atlantic Salmon are usually farmed, and the fish are fed a diet that can be full of growth hormones and coloring agents to turn the flesh pink. They are mass produced and fairly inexpensive. This kind of salmon also tends to have higher levels of PolyChlorinated Biphenyls, or PCBs, which are a highly toxic industrial chemical. The Environmental Defense Fund suggests consuming no more than one meal per month consisting of Atlantic salmon. Atlantic salmon is available all year long. Chinook salmon are also known as King or Blackmouth salmon and they are the largest of the Pacific salmon. The flesh is very red and this variety has one of the highest levels of Omega 3 fatty acids, which are valued for their nutritional benefits. This fish is usually only wild caught, and it is typically only available May through August. Also known as Keta salmon, this fish is available June through September. The flesh is firm and mild. Chum salmon range the mid to upper Pacific Ocean from California to Canada and all the way across to Siberia. Due to this wide harvest area and the fish's abundant numbers, keta salmon is often widely available and at more moderate prices. These salmon are harvested or caught between July and October. They are found from British Columbia to Alaska, and they are a mild but flavorful fish. These are a smaller variety of salmon that is seen in supermarkets from May through July. The flesh is mild and sweet, and it is a popular salmon choice in seafood restaurants.

A mold is the negative of a shape that you would like to make. You can make a cast of an object you would like to reproduce by sculpting two pieces of clay around the object. When the clay dries, remove the two pieces. If you fill each half with the liquid plastic and then put the halves together, you can make a copy of that object. You can also use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out of the plastic while it is still warm. An alternative to making your own mold, is to purchase a mold at a craft or hobby shop. Once you have a mold, you can use it to make more objects. While the plastic is still hot, pour it into the mold. Make sure that the plastic gets into the entire mold and try pop bubbles by lightly tapping the mold on the counter. To make the object easier to remove when it dries, coat the mold with a non-stick spray before pouring the plastic in. The plastic will take a few days to dry and fully harden. The amount of time it takes to dry is dependent upon the thickness of the object. If the object is very thick, it can take longer than two days to fully harden. After two days, check the plastic. If it still appears to be wet, let it sit for another day and check it again. Continue to do this until the plastic is fully dry. After waiting a few days, the plastic will be fully hardened and dry. At this point, you can remove the plastic from the mold. You have now made your own plastic version of whatever object you chose to mold. You can reuse this mold to make as many plastic versions of the object as you like.

TL;DR in English: Make a mold for the plastic. Pour the hot plastic into the mold. Let the plastic dry for at least two days. Remove your plastic from the mold.

If you are experiencing the symptoms above you shouldn't waste time before booking an appointment with your eye doctor for a test. You can also, however, do some basic tests at home to try to measure your sight. Try by printing out the classic test page with letters of diminishing size from the internet.  After printing the test sheet, hang it at eye level in a well lit room. Stand ten-feet back and see how many letters you can read. Continue right to the bottom row, or as low as you can go, and write the number of the line where you could read most of the letters. Do this again, covering each eye at a time. The results vary by age, but older children and adults should be able to read the majority of the 20/20 line at the bottom. As well as printable test sheets, there are a number of tests that you can do directly on your computer. Again, these are not exactly perfect, but they can give you a basic indication of how your eyes are. You can find different tests for different eye problems, including colour blindness, and astigmatism.  They will involve you looking at different images and shapes on your computer screen, and following the instructions to test your eyes. Remember that these are vague guides, and should not be treated as a substitute for the real thing. Don't forget that if you are experiencing these symptoms you need to make an appointment with your eye specialist and have a full eye exam. Your optometrist or ophthalmologist will conduct a number of tests that will get to the bottom of your eye problems, and if you need glasses they will write you out a prescription. It might be intimidating or a little scary at first, but it's essential to caring for your eyes.  The eye doctor may use a number of instruments, aim bright lights into your eye, and have you try out a number of different lenses.  You will have to read out letters from a test sheet with while different lenses are held in front of your eyes. Ophthalmologists and optometrists are both qualified to conduct eye evaluations. After your eye...

TL;DR in English: Use some testing printouts. Try some online tests. Go to see your eye doctor. Know the next steps if you need glasses.

Look at the different parts of it. It is not a smooth surface, and all those bumps and crevices can harbor bacteria. Half the bacteria in your mouth lives on your tongue. This can form a film over your tongue, and contribute to a variety of health problems. Your tongue should be pink, and stark discolorations should be taken note of and remedied. Be sure to see an oral health professional if you experience any of these things:  Strong concern regarding changes in the appearance of your tongue. Tongue coating persists longer than two weeks. If you experience persistent tongue pain. White areas or desquamation on the surface of your tongue. When you use a cleaner on your tongue, you do more than just help fight bad breath. You break up the tissue on the tongue, which helps to avoid hairy tongue. You also remove bacteria that can contribute to tooth decay. Poor oral hygiene has been linked to a variety of health issues, and this includes cleaning your tongue.  It controls unwanted bacteria that can contribute to tooth decay. It fights bad breath.

The remedy second to the miracle powers of ice is toothpaste. The texture and bite somehow fool the brain into feeling like the area is being scratched, so there's psychological satisfaction as well. Dab a bit on the area, wait a few minutes, and the symptoms will subside. You'll need to reapply in about 5 hours or so -- or whenever the symptoms wear off. That's probably enough to find (or make) ice, though -- probably a preferable option. It's not the best home remedy, but it can lessen your symptoms and get you feeling a bit better, albeit very temporarily (probably around half an hour). Just enough time to get a hold of a better cure. You may have read about using a tea bag or tobacco on the area. Don't bother - neither "remedy" will not help your sting. There are a number of products out there on the market for stings, but none of them is as good as an old-fashioned bag of ice. But if you're curious, here are some details.  Skeeter Stik or Survivor Gel Stick are basically tubes of "travel-relief" when camping or otherwise away from the amenities of everyday life. It's a great idea in theory, but not very effective. Some may contain ammonia, which can irritate your skin. Caladryl can help. However, most creams, like Benadryl Extra Strength Itch Stopping Cream, are just okay. You might have relief for a few minutes. Hydrocortisone cream is better, but caladryl is best.

TL;DR in English: Use toothpaste. If you're in a real pinch, slather on some honey. Consider pharmaceuticals, but don't depend on them.

Either top corner is OK to begin with. Allow a small gap, about the width of a penny between the ceiling/wall, and the board. Use a level to ensure the board is level. In many cases, your ceiling may have a slight angle, so it should not be used as a guide, as it might make your planking look off level. Then, use your nail gun or a hammer and nails to attach the board in place.  If your ceiling is angled, you may want to start at the bottom of the wall. An angled ceiling will require you to cut the same angle into your planks. You can panel your wall from the bottom-up, although there are often outlets and heating or cooling vents that you'll have to cut around toward the bottom of the wall. This can be time consuming. You may want to do the easier areas first. Depending on the length of your wall, you may have to use a few full planks. For shorter walls, one or two planks may be sufficient. If your wall only requires two planks, after attaching the first one:  Position your second plank the same as your first, but on he opposite side of the top row. Your unattached plank should overlap your attached one. Use a pencil to mark the unattached plank ¼" (.64 cm) before where the boards overlap. Use your saw to cut the board at this mark and sandpaper to remove burrs. Position your plank in place so it is level and aligned with the attached one. Use a penny to ensure there is a 1/8" (.32 cm) gap between planks, the ceiling, and the wall. Double check the levelness of your unattached board, then use your nail gun or a hammer and nails to attach the plank to the wall. Save the excess plank to start the next row. This way, you'll prevent yourself from wasting lumber. Add rows of planks to your wall, working from the top down. Be sure to remember to leave a penny-wide gap on all sides of the planks and their surroundings (other planks, the wall, ceiling, floor).  When a fixture or other feature of your house (like light switches, sconces, sills, sharply angled walls/ceilings, etc.) are in the path of your plank row,...

Both hot and cold temperature extremes can affect hives, and may cause them to worsen when hives are already present. For best results, take a comfortable, room-temperature bath to soothe skin rashes.  Sprinkle baking soda, uncooked oatmeal, or finely-ground colloidal oatmeal into your bath to help relieve itching. Avoid using soap until you know whether or not a given soap brand will irritate your hives. Cool, wet compresses can help alleviate the symptoms associated with rashes and hives. Exposure to a cold, wet bandage or dressing can help soothe irritated skin, and may help reduce inflammation by slowing blood flow to the rash. There are many things that can irritate hives and rashes. Even if you are not normally affected by common household irritants, it's best to avoid them until you know how your current rash/hives will react to these items. Common irritants include:  Cosmetics Dye (including dye used in clothing) Fur and leather products Hair coloring Latex Nickel products, including jewelry, zippers, buttons, and kitchen utensils Nail care products, including nail polish and artificial nails Soap and household cleaning products Even though your rash may itch very intensely, it's important to avoid scratching or rubbing the rash/hives. Scratching can cause the skin to break, leaving you prone to infection and delaying the healing process. In some people, exposure to heat and humidity can further irritate hives and rashes. If you are experiencing rashes or hives, avoid exposure to heat, humidity, and exercise. If you are experiencing rashes and hives, it's important that you choose the right clothing to prevent further irritating your skin. Choose loose, smooth-textured material like cotton. Avoid constricting clothing and any materials that are rough and scratchy like wool.

TL;DR in English: Take a tepid bath. Apply a cold compress. Avoid irritants. Refrain from scratching or rubbing. Avoid exposure to heat. Wear comfortable clothing.

Transfer the riced or grated potato onto a clean counter or cutting board. Scoop it together so it's in a mound. Then put 2 1/2 cups (300 g) of the flour and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt directly onto the potatoes. You can use all-purpose or 00 flour. You can find 00 flour in specialty shops and it will make a finer, softer dough. Use your fingers like a scoop and sweep them around the center of the potato and flour mixture. This will make a deep well where you can add the remaining ingredients. Make the well large enough to hold the eggs and cheese, if you're using them. Add the egg to the center of the well. If you'd like to make creamier pasta, add 1/2 cup (123 g) of ricotta and 1/4 cup (25 g) of grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese along with the egg. Ensure there are no egg shells in the well or your dough will have hard bits. Take a fork and beat the egg with the cheeses, if you're using them. Once the egg is beaten, use the fork to start mixing in the flour and potatoes from the sides of the well. While you can use a spoon to mix the dough, it will combine better if you use a fork.

TL;DR in English: Scoop the potato onto your work surface and put flour and salt on it. Use your hands to make a well in the middle of the potato mixture. Crack 1 egg into the well and add the optional cheeses. Use a fork to mix the egg with the flour and potatoes.

A plastic, metal, or wooden hanger will work, as long as it has a notch on both sides of the hook. Otherwise, the paper buckets will slip and fall right off the scale. If you don’t have a notched clothes hanger, you can use some more twine to tie the handles on the paper buckets to the bottom of a regular clothes hanger so they don’t fall off. Put out stickers, markers, and crayons and let your kids personalize the scale. They'll enjoy playing and learning with it more if they get to add their own personal touch.  One way to decorate the scale is to help your kids write their names on it. Don't attach anything too heavy to the buckets or it could interfere with how the scale works.

TL;DR in English: Find a notched clothes hanger. Let your kids decorate the buckets on their new balance scale.

Now that you've stopped comparing yourself to other people, let's focus on what you have going for you. Channel your energy into your good qualities, so you become better and better at what you do and who you are. When you're focused on perfecting that cello song or writing an amazing thesis, there's not time to worry about what other people are doing.  When you find your mind drifting to the realm of what you don't have, make a conscious effort to think about what you do have. Do this every single time you feel those pangs of envy. If you refuse to let your mind dwell, and focus instead on what makes you special and great, you'll start having a much more positive outlook. Realize that not everyone has what you have - in fact, your talents and assets might even be the source of others' envy. Imagine the people who care about you and would do anything for you, and think about what you'd do for them. Focusing on the people who make your life feel full is a positive way to cancel out feelings of envy. Instead of thinking that your life is lacking something, be thankful for the people who are there. Being grateful is a lot like being  mindful. It's about focusing on the present and turning your thoughts to what is already good in your life, instead of thinking about what's lacking. It's important to know what you can change and what is beyond your control. Spend energy working to improve the former and don't waste your time on the latter, because there's nothing you can do about it. If you dwell on things you can't change, you'll end up feeling extremely negative, and maybe even becoming depressed. You have a finite amount of time to spend, and you don't want to waste it on something that's not going to budge.  For example, if you wish you had your friend's musical talent, and you want nothing more than to be a singer-songwriter, try your best to become what you want to be. Pour your soul into making music, take voice lessons, perform at open mic nights - give it all you've got. If you think you have a shot at...

TL;DR in English: Focus on your talents and assets. Be thankful for your loved ones. Change what you can change, accept what you can't. Spend time with grateful people.

You'll need 1 packet of plain gelatin, 8  fl oz (240 mL) boiling water, 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold coffee, 4  fl oz (120 mL) of coffee liqueur, 1 packet vanilla pudding, 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold milk and 4  fl oz (120 mL) of Irish cream. You'll also need some small plastic cups for your shots.  In a bowl, add one 3 oz (85 g) packet of plain gelatin and 4  fl oz (120 mL) of boiling water. Then, stir in 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold coffee and 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold coffee liqueur. This will form the dark coffee base of the jello shot. Then, in a separate bowl, whisk together 1 packet of vanilla pudding, 4  fl oz (120 mL) of cold milk and 4  fl oz (120 mL) of Irish cream. This will form the cream top of the Baby Guinness. Place cups on a tray or platter. Spoon the dark coffee mixture in first to fill 2/3 of the cup. Top carefully with the cream mixture to fill the rest of the cup. Refrigerate for two hours, or until solid. The dark colored liqueur makes the shooter look like a Guinness, but a lighter colored liqueur can make your shot look more like a pint of ale or lager. Try a sweet liqueur like Amaretto or or Licor 43. A B-52 is another layered shot that also uses coffee liqueur and Irish cream. The only difference is that coffee liqueur makes up the bottom 1/3 layer, Irish cream makes up the second 1/3 layer, and a final 1/3 layer of Triple-sec is added on top. To make a flaming B-52 shot, use a high proof Triple-sec liquor, such as Cointreau. Light the shots right before serving them, but make sure that everyone blows out the flame before they drink and be very careful when serving flaming beverages!

Dress for it. Decorate or go to a beautiful place. Smell like food. Play upbeat music. Be alone.

Walking away from a confrontation with someone who hates you does not mean that you are admitting defeat or accepting the reality that a perfect solution cannot be reached. Instead, it demonstrates that you have complete control over the situation by not engaging in their negativity.  Haters never offer constructive criticism or positive feedback, only criticism. If you already know this then there is absolutely no reason to have a dialogue with them. Listening to a hater will only ruin your day. All of the negativity will do is hurt your feelings, make you angry, or incite you to participate in the pessimism. A hater will get under your skin whenever they can. It is important to stay calm when this happens so that a physical confrontation does not occur. Stay level headed and understand that a hater does not deserve a response from you, especially in retaliation.  By staying calm and not responding to their attacks you demonstrate that their opinions and destructive comments are not valued by you. Over time, this should reveal to them that attacking your character is a waste of time. Remaining calm will conserve your energy for more positive pursuits. Do not waste your time or energy on a situation that does not deserve your attention. Since a hater will seek out negativity and place undue criticism on you don’t submit to their turpitude. They will want you to explain your mistakes in front of others to reveal your imperfect self. In response, never justify, explain, or apologize to them until they approach you in a respectful and sensible manner.  Value your self-worth and don’t degrade yourself to their level unless they treat you with the respect you deserve as a person. In this case, it is probably unwise to reply with a smart comment or to try and play it off as nothing important because it gives them an opportunity to turn the tables again on you for not addressing their accusation to begin with. Let them embarrass themselves without help. This might be difficult to do if you work with this person or...

TL;DR in English: Walk away. Stay calm. Do not offer an apology. Limit your interaction with them.

Sugar cane is easiest to find during the harvest season, in late summer and early fall. If you can't find sugar cane plants at your local garden center, it can often be found at roadside stands and farmer's markets. Asian groceries also often stock sugar cane plants.  Look for long, thick stems, which are more likely to produce healthy new plants. The stems have joints, and a new plant will sprout from each one. Keeping this in mind, buy as many stems as you need to produce the size crop you want. Leave three to four joints per piece, to make it more likely that each piece will produce a few sprouts. If the stems have any leaves or flowers, go ahead and remove them. Sugar cane stems are planted horizontally on their sides, in four-inch deep furrows, or trenches. They need full sun, so choose an area that isn't shaded. Dig furrows long enough to fit each piece of cane you're planting, and space the furrows one foot apart. Use a spade or hoe, rather than a shovel, to make it easier to dig the furrows. Use a hose to lightly moisten the furrows to prepare them for the sugar cane. Make sure the water has drained and there are no remaining puddles before you plant. Place the stems horizontally into the furrows. Cover them with soil. Do not plant stems upright, or they will not grow. In the spring, usually in April or May, shoots will start to grow from the nodes of the stems. You'll see them breaking through the soil to form individual sugar cane stalks, which will grow quite tall by summer's end.

TL;DR in English: Select healthy sugar cane plants. Split the sugar cane stems into foot-long pieces. Dig furrows in a sunny planting spot. Moisten the furrows. Plant the sugar cane. Wait for the sugar cane to grow.

You'll want to make sure that the instrument you are tuning to is in tune before tuning to it. Some instruments, like the piano, stay in tune for long periods of time and are excellent tools for tuning your bass.  The E note on a keyboard can be found by locating the white key immediately after a series of two black keys in a row. Any key immediately after a series of two black keys is E. Other instruments that have recently been tuned, like a guitar or trumpet, can also be used to tune the E string of your bass. When you play your reference E note on an instrument, clear your head and try to hold onto the E note's pitch as clearly as possible. This is the first note you'll be tuning to.

TL;DR in English: Play the E note on an instrument.

This may seem like a useless suggestion, but restarting your computer is often the easiest way to fix a vast majority of the issues you may be having. A simple reset will clear out bad settings which could be causing your connectivity issues, and if it doesn't help, it only took a minute. Restarting your computer will often also turn back on your Internet adapter if it was off. Many laptops have a switch or button that turns the wireless adapter on and off. If you've accidentally pressed the button, your computer will disconnect from the network. Press the button or toggle the switch to turn your wireless adapter back on.  You may have to hold the Fn button in order to be able to press the Wi-Fi button. Skip this step on a desktop computer. The easiest way to do this is by unplugging both your modem and your router from their respective power sources, waiting for a few seconds, and plugging them back in. Like restarting your computer, this can solve the bulk of minor Internet issues. A soft reset causes your router and modem to clear their respective caches and refresh. You can usually perform a soft reset by pressing a power button on the front or side of your router.  Many modems can also be soft-reset in this manner. In some cases, you can soft-reset your network by opening your router's page and clicking a Reset button somewhere in the "Advanced" or "Power" options. A hard reset causes your router and modem to forget all of your settings, restoring the network to its factory settings (including the factory network name and password). To perform a hard reset, you'll press and hold the "reset" button on the back of the modem for around 30 seconds, allow the modem to reboot, and perform the same step on the router. In most cases, the "reset" button is a recessed button on the back of the modem and router, meaning that you'll need to use a pen or a paperclip (or similar) to press the button. Sometimes your computer or smartphone is too far away from the checkpoint to connect. Move closer to your router and...

TL;DR in English: Restart your computer. Ensure that your laptop's wireless adapter is enabled. Restart your Internet modem and router. Perform a soft reset on your network. Perform a hard reset on your network. Move closer to the router. Make sure that you have a clear line-of-sight between you and the router. Try using Ethernet.

No matter the kind of date you plan, wearing something new, or something he especially loves, will help the day feel special. If you wear dresses, try a slinky dress, or a curve-hugging skirt. If you wear suits, wear a well-tailored suit and an open collared shirt. Opt for fabric that feels good to the touch, like silk or velvet. If you aren't worried about matching the décor, wear red.  Consider underwear. Wearing lingerie under your beautiful outfit will make every step of dressing and undressing a Valentine's day activity. Think sheer panties or boxer briefs, thigh highs, a garter belt, a thong, or a bustier. Dress him up too. If your husband is the kind of guy who likes to be dressed up, embrace that. Buy him something you know he wants, or something you think he'd look especially hot in. The same ideas that work for you work for him. You can get him clothes to show off, or something more intimate to wear just for you. If you're going hiking for Valentine's day, you can even get him some attractive exercise wear, like shiny bike shorts or a mesh tank top. If your husband prefers feeling in control of his own outfit, plan ahead. Tell him you want to buy him something special, and look around online together till you find the right thing. The place you'll be spending time together should be beautiful. You might go to an elegant restaurant, take a hike at sunrise, or walk the beach at sunset. Depending on your aesthetic, you and your husband might enjoy a stroll through a community garden, a visit to an art-deco movie theater, or a visit to a graffitied canal.  If you are decorating at home, put out clean tablecloths in dark or warm colors. Stick some candles in candle holders or old wine bottles, or make floating candles. Clean up. A mess is depressing, and draping it with streamers is like giving up. If you're celebrating at home, tidy your home. Put away all evidence of work. Put flowers in a vase, and drop petals on the tablecloth or into the bowl of floating candles. Food might provide all the scent you...

If you're trying to explain your qualifications, competence, and your ability to take on jobs or projects, it's important to make those connections clear in a few sentences and explain the ways in which your experience doing other things connects to your ability to do this thing, whether it be a new position, or a transfer, or an entirely new job.  Outline some of the experience that you have in the field or industry you reference in the letter. If you have targeted the introductory letter as mentioned, it will be focused on some kind of professional field or industry. It's helpful to include specific skills and experience in order to make the letter effective.  Wanting a job is not the same thing as qualifying for it. If you outline in the introduction that you're interested in interviewing for the job because you'd made an excellent fit, you don't need to repeat yourself fifty times throughout. Writing that you "really really need this job" doesn't make you seem like a more attractive candidate. Set up a time that you can meet in person, or express what exactly you would like to happen next in response to your letter. If you want to discuss your qualifications further with an interview, say so. If you want the job outright, say so. Learn everything you can about the hiring process, or the application process to which you're writing, then ask for the next step in the process. Focus the introductory letter toward a specific job level. This job type or position doesn't have to be explicitly mentioned, but keep in mind what kind of result you are going after in order to keep the letter relevant. Listing out your degrees, your awards, and name-dropping in an intro letter is a bad idea. Repeating information that can be quickly glanced at on your resume is a waste of space in the letter. You're not trying to write about information that can be gleaned more quickly and easily elsewhere. You're writing to sell yourself and to get your foot in the door. It's unlikely that you're ever going to get a job or be awarded...

TL;DR in English: Connect your qualifications with the position. Be as specific as possible. Don't include information included on your resume. Write to get the interview.

Use a conventional 20 x 13cm tin or a muffin tin. Place them in a large mixing bowl and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Continue beating until the mixture is completely combined. Stir together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and ginger until fully combined. Use a wooden spoon to fold the dry ingredients in until they're just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, since this will cause the loaf to come out too dense. If desired, stir in 50g chopped pecans, walnuts, almonds or chocolate chips (or a combination of all of your favorites). Mix until just combined. Use the back of the spoon to level the top. The loaf is ready when a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Serve the loaf with butter or whipped cream.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 160C/fan 180C/gas 4. Butter a loaf tin. Beat the sugar and butter. Add the eggs, bananas and buttermilk. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Stir the dry mixture into the batter. Spoon the batter into the loaf tin. Bake the loaf for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool before slicing.

If you’re really worried about deer getting into plants you’ve spent many long weeks cultivating, consider fencing the plot in with fishing line or plastic wire. Stick 3-4 posts in the ground around the crop and wrap the wire around the outside of the posts from top to bottom, leaving only a couple inches between each strand. It isn’t very attractive, but it will do what it’s supposed to do and is inexpensive. The idea is similar to keeping single plants off-limits with tomato cages, but will allow you to close off a larger area.  Fishing line is thin enough not to be an eyesore or block your plants from view, but will be enough to dissuade deer from trying to push their way through.  Despite being talented at runners and jumpers, deer are not very good at getting themselves in and out of tight spaces. Deer are constantly wary of predators, and while the average house canine isn’t likely to make a meal of a passing doe, the sight and sound of one may be enough to keep troublesome deer at bay. Dog urine also doubles as a natural repellent, as deer can distinguish its odor from that of other harmless herbivores, and it signals that competition or predators may be nearby. Take your dog out to do its business in the general vicinity of your garden and let it run around, and watch incidents of mysterious vegetation disappearances decrease. Walk your dog around the perimeter of your yard or garden to mark the area with its scent. Put up a scarecrow, statue or other large form as a new fixture in your garden. They may not move or make any noise, but the fear of the unknown will keep deer from making a move. The more lifelike the statue looks, the better chance it has of being convincing. Position the statue on the outer edge of your property to discourage deer from pushing in any further.  Draping the statue in old clothes that billow in the breeze can mimic movement. While deer are not especially clever, they learn from observing behavior. There’s no guarantee that a motionless garden fixture will frighten deer off...
