Adjust the pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness. Shock the water Stay out of the pool until the chlorine level returns to between 1 and 3 ppm over the course of a few days before proceeding to the next step. Add a winterizing algaecide.

After you rinse or wash your suit, leave it inside out to dry. It’s important to let the inside of the suit dry to avoid any odors or mildew from building up. Drying the inside also lengthens the life of the wetsuit. Slide the top of the wetsuit through a heavy, plastic hanger so that it folds in half near the waist, rather than hanging it by the neck or shoulders. Hang it indoors, such as on your shower rod, while it dries. If you must hang it outdoors, make sure it stays shaded, as direct sunlight degrades the fabric. Once the inside of your suit is dry, turn the suit right-side out. Use the same method as before to hang the suit over a plastic hanger. Allow it to dry completely, indoors and away from the sun.

TL;DR in English: Let the inside of the suit dry first. Use a plastic hanger to dry your suit indoors. Allow the outside of the suit to dry.

If you drink alcohol, over time you will become increasingly tolerant to the drug and may even become dependent. However, by being smart about your drinking and doing so in moderation, you can enjoy alcohol without developing a dependence.  Alcohol tolerance is when your body adapts to drinking a specific amount of alcohol, including one beer or one glass of wine.  Dependence is the consistent and compulsive consumption of alcohol and needing to drink to function. Figure out what your current tolerance level is. This may help you avoid drinking too much and developing alcohol poisoning. Gauge your tolerance based on how much you currently drink. For example, if you don’t drink or only have a couple of drinks a week, your tolerance may be comparatively low. If you drink more, your tolerance may be accordingly higher. Drink alcoholic beverages by following sensible consumption guidelines. This can help you minimize the risk of becoming dependent or getting alcohol poisoning.  Women should have no more than 2-3 units of alcohol daily.  Men should have no more than 3-4 units of alcohol daily.  Alcohol units are based on the percentage alcohol in a beverage and the amount of alcohol consumed. For reference, a bottle of wine has 9-10 units.  Go slowly if you’re enjoying an extra drink or two within the guidelines. For example, consume only one additional drink than you normally would. If you never drink, have one, or even a half of, an alcoholic beverage. For one glass of wine or one spirit, have one and a half or two drinks. Drink water while you drink alcohol, as it mitigates the reflexive "drink while others drink" influence and hydrates as you go. Be aware of how much alcohol you’ve consumed and stop early if you are unsure of the amount you had. This can help prevent you getting drunk or alcohol poisoning, or possibly worse. You may want to set a time at which you will stop drinking in the evening. For instance, you may decide that you won't drink alcohol past midnight when you go out. Consider having at least...

TL;DR in English: Learn about alcohol consumption. Estimate how much alcohol you can tolerate. Stay within sensible drinking guidelines. Stop drinking early. Enjoy alcohol-free days. Find out the risks and dangers of drinking.

Make it big, bold, and simple. In general, the headline should be no more than a few words, fit in one line across the page, and be centered. A headline can be longer, but the briefer it is, the better the chance it has to capture someone’s attention. The lettering in the headline should be bigger than any other lettering on the flyer. You want most people to be able to read it quickly from about 10 feet (3 meters) away. You’ll usually want the headline spaced evenly across the entire width of the page. If it doesn’t quite fit or fit nicely, consider centering the text. Look at any newspaper's front-page headline; that industry figured this out a long time ago. Don’t get too fancy with this font, as your primary goal here is readability. You can add flair to other parts of the flyer if it adds to your message. You are trying to grab attention with your flyer, and convey your message in often fractions of a second. Complicated messages and content will likely not make an impact. More detail can follow in the body of the flyer.  Do not make people have to think deeply about the content your flyer—it should communicate your message at an almost intuitive level. Think catchy and fun. Which headline jumped out at you? If you're like most people, the "puppies and ice cream" caught your attention. That's not because everybody likes puppies and ice cream; it's because it is bright red, a color that naturally draws the eye. (However, obviously many people like puppies and ice cream, and the unexpected and humorous content adds to the effectiveness.)

TL;DR in English: Write a headline. Make it BIG! Consider using capital letters or bold fonts. Keep the message very simple.

Complete the tasks which will benefit you the most in the long run first. You’ll need to identify the difference between “high-value” tasks (those which will benefit you the most in the long term) versus “low-value” tasks (tasks which may be easier, but will offer fewer benefits). Avoiding the less pleasant aspects of work doesn’t make them disappear. Building up a huge hunk of the bad stuff to deal with all at once, after you’ve completed the enjoyable stuff, is just going to leave a sour taste in your mouth at the end of a project.  Make lists. Enough can’t be said about the anti-procrastination benefits of seeing your work in front of you, and crossing it off as you finish it. Each list should be long enough to keep your workload in perspective, but not so long that your day feels paralyzingly demanding. One tactic is to divvy your seemingly unmanageable task into manageable chunks, then sprinkle those less-enjoyable aspects of a task into that other stuff that you really like. Stick to a schedule: physically writing out to-dos and calendars isn’t necessary for everyone, but establishing a regular schedule can help you efficiently take care of business. Scheduling the work you dislike for a specific day—and then pushing it out of your mind to avoid stress on other days—might help you conquer unhelpful procrastination habits. Follow through on the tasks you begin. Finishing one project will teach you exponentially more than a dozen fizzled-out attempts, even if you never want to look at that project again. Sometimes you’ll find yourself bogged down in work that seems, now that you’ve toiled away at it for a week, misguided in its goal. If the project has a projected timeline that will take up a great deal of your time moving forward, it’s sometimes best to reassess whether you’re spending your time well (see above, about “high-value” tasks versus “low-value” tasks). So how do you know when you should drop a project? Honest introspection, and self-awareness. If you find yourself thinking this often—and...

TL;DR in English: Prioritize tasks. Stop procrastinating. Complete projects. Take responsibility.

Making sure these are all in balance protects the pool from corrosion or scale buildup that can occur over the winter while the pool is shut down. These adjustments should be made about five days before you completely close down the pool.  Adjust the pH to a level between 7.2 and 7.6. Adjust the alkalinity to 80 to 120 ppm (parts per million). Adjust the calcium hardness to 180 to 220 ppm or higher according to product instructions for protecting a plaster pool to lessen minerals dissolving and leeching out. . Use an extra strong chlorine or a non-chlorine substitute to kill bacteria, some of the fungi and algae that may be living in the pool. Buy a shock product with at least 65 percent sodium hypochlorite or a non-chlorine substitute of equivalent strength. Fill a five-gallon bucket with pool water, add the instructed amount of shock granules for the size of pool, and pour it into the pool away from the pool skimmer water outlets while the filtration system is running. If you typically use a shock product/mix that is safe for people to swim in right away, it's probably not strong enough to kill all the bacteria in your pool. Since you're closing the pool down, use the instructed stronger shock treatment.  Algaecide kills existing algae and prevents more from blooming. Algae can cause the pool to become discolored, give it a bad smell and clog the filter; so, it's important to treat your pool with algaecide before shutting it down.  Make sure the chlorine level has returned to 1 to 3 ppm before adding algaecide. Otherwise, the chlorine will render the algaecide ineffective. Buy an extra-strength algaecide. Use one meant to be used to overwinter a pool, rather than one you add to your pool on an ongoing basis while it's in use. The stronger algaecide is meant to prevent algae from blooming all winter long.

Visit a bank in your destination country. Alternatively, visit a bank in your home country. Try a postal bank. Visit an international airport. Visit a currency exchange. Try a European ATM.

Run some water into a spacious pot or saucepan (depending on the size of the item you’re trying to sanitize). Place the pot over medium-high heat until the surface of the water just begins to bubble. The heat from the boiling water will instantly destroy microbial bugs on durable, hard-to-clean items. Boiling is a good way to thoroughly disinfect solid, one-piece objects that aren’t easily broken, such as toothbrushes, combs, drinking containers and just about anything made out of plastic or glass. Using a pair of tongs or a strainer, lower the tainted object into the boiling water. The item will need to stay immersed for 1-20 minutes, depending on the size and material—any longer and it may be in danger of being warped by the heat. Whisk the item through the water to flush away bacteria concentrated on the surface.  Make sure you have a way of protecting your hands from the heat. Consider taking the precaution of wearing a pair of dish gloves or oven mitts, even if you’re using tongs. Leaving plastic and fragile metal items submerged in boiling water for too long could cause them to melt. Pull the infected item out of the pot and give it a shake to remove excess water. Wrap the item in a clean, dry towel, then leave it out to air dry. Once the remaining moisture has evaporated, it should be as good as new. If the item has a lid or cover, leave it off to allow airflow and prevent mildew from forming inside.

TL;DR in English: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Submerge the infected item. Set the item aside to dry.

Do this as a protective measure before you begin scooping ashes out of the stove, as they are liable to drop onto the ground. A newspaper will make cleanup much easier. As you’re spreading the newspaper, open the air dampener so that any ash stuck to it will fall into the firebox. The air dampener will be a small knob on the front of the cast iron stove, that you should pull outward to open. If the stove is still warm, use a piece of hooked metal to pull the air dampener open. Open the glass door on the front of the cast iron stove and, using your metal ash shovel, scoop up all of the leftover ash inside of the stove. Place the shovelfuls of ash into a metal ash bucket. Be meticulous when cleaning the ashes out of the stove; you’ll be able to start your next fire much more easily if there are no leftover ashes in the firebox. Before you begin scooping up the ashes, make sure that the fire is completely out, and there are no live coals. If there are still any red-hot coals, wait for them to cool and go out before shoveling them up. After you’ve finished shoveling the ashes out of the firebox, place the lid back on the ash can. Set the can on a non-flammable surface, like brick or tile. It’s important to let the ash can sit for at least 48 hours before you dispose of the ashes, in case there are still any live coals in the ash.  It’s important to keep the can covered, as a slight breeze could lift ash and soot from the can and send it flying through your house. Once you’ve tossed the ashes, you can also pick up the newspapers that you initially spread on the carpet. Be careful not to spill any ash on the floor. Throw the newspapers away. When the ash bucket is full (after you’ve shoveled out the fire box several times), you’ll need to dispose of the ashes and empty the bucket. If you live in a rural area, you can simply walk a few hundred feet from your house and spread the ashes out on the ground. Alternately, if you have a compost pile or a garden, toss the ashes on top of the soil. If it’s windy outside,...

TL;DR in English: Place an old newspaper on the ground in front of the stove. Scoop the ashes out of the fire box. Cover the ash can. Dispose of the ashes.

Convert guilt into something empowering by being compassionate towards yourself. You are not the first to cheat—lots of others have stood in your shoes. Recognize that common thread of humanity and you won't feel so guilty for making a mistake.  You might softly caress your shoulders and back while saying “I am only human. I am not perfect. I will make mistakes.” This affirmation doesn't excuse your wrongdoing—it simply helps alleviate your suffering. You may add an addendum to the statement with something like "I did wrong, but I can try to make amends and do better in the future." Unload the painful feelings you are experiencing through a journaling activity. Doing so can help ease guilt and give you some objectivity about the situation. You may even uncover a solution while writing.  Write out in vivid detail exactly what happened. Express your thoughts and feelings about the situation. You might say, "I slept with my ex. I regret it, but I feel so guilty. I don't want my partner to find out, but I don't know how to move forward." If you are worried about someone else reading what you wrote, you might put the paper into a shredder or set it on fire. This act of destruction can also help symbolize that the cheating (and guilt) doesn't have to continue to affect you. Use your belief in a higher power to overcome guilt. You might do this by reading scripture, praying, meditating, fasting, or confiding in a spiritual advisor. Your faith may offer guidance as to how you can move forward after cheating. Following spiritual practices may give you peace and acceptance that ultimately minimize guilt. It's easy to get down on yourself about cheating, but dwelling on the past will only keep you hostage. Practice  thought-stopping when guilty feelings emerge. Rather than entertaining them, ask yourself “What now?” and try to continuously take positive action that moves you forward. For example, if negative thoughts arise about what you've done in the past, you might ask "What now?" and identify one small positive...

TL;DR in English: Accept that you are only human. Write about the situation. Perform rituals if you are a spiritual person. Focus on the future, not the past. Give it time.

Each espresso shot will need to have a specific amount of coffee. Most lattes are made using a double shot of espresso, which means two shots.  For each shot of espresso measure out 18-21 grams of ground coffee. You can do this by putting the espresso machine's portafilter on a kitchen scale. Zero the machine with the empty portafilter on it. Carefully add 18-21 grams of coffee per espresso shot.

TL;DR in English: Measure the coffee for your latte.

If you've already traveled into the Eurozone, you're in luck — it's not usually hard to get your hands on Euros. For example, most European banks will sell Euros to non-citizens at very reasonable rates. Best of all, most banks in major European cities will have at least some staff members that speak English. If you're not comfortable awkwardly asking for an English speaker, you can always use the ATM (see below for more information).  Exchange rates at European banks tend to be quite good. Many banks will not charge a transaction fee for the service (though some will). Note that the hours of operation for banks in Europe can be different than they are abroad. Banking holidays will also vary from country to country. If possible, check when the bank is open online before making your trip. You can also buy Euros at most major banks in the UK, Canada, Australia, and the US. This is handy if you want to have a small amount of European currency in your wallet when you step off the plane. Some traveler's guides strongly recommend this. Others, however, favor buying Euros in Europe to avoid the risk of traveling with large amounts of currency. Fees at banks in the English-speaking world can vary from place to place and based on whether or not you have an account. Anecdotally, American banks are said to have less-favorable dollar-to-euro exchange rates than their European counterparts. Believe it or not, many European post offices (especially in major cities) will have small "mini-banks" inside that will be able to change your money from your home country's currency to euros. Not all post offices will have these mini-banks, but the ones that do are claimed to have some of the best exchange rates available. Even some post offices in the English-speaking world will have small banks or exchange bureaus available to exchange your currency. This is by no means guaranteed, however, so check online or via phone before visiting if possible. Since busy airports are host to thousands (sometimes millions) of passengers from...

This might be the worst type of “compliment” there is. A backhanded compliment is one that sounds really nice at first, but then the real meaning of the statement hits. It’s a passive-aggressive way to really hurt a person’s feelings. It’s possible to deliver a backhanded compliment without even knowing you’re doing it.  For example, you might say something like, “Wow, I really like your hair today. What’s different?” By saying this, you’re implying that you don’t like the person’s hair very much on other days. Or you might say, “You’re amazing at baseball, for a girl.” Attaching a qualifier to the end of your compliment turns it into an insult. Yelling a “compliment” at someone walking down the street is actually highly insulting. The point of a compliment is to make someone feel good, and yelling about someone’s physical features is likely to do just the opposite. Even if some people say they like being cat called, not everyone does — not by a long shot. If you really want to make someone feel good, even a stranger, don’t yell something in passing. The same rules apply to giving compliments to a stranger and giving compliments to someone you know: you need to find something sincere to say and deliver your compliment respectfully. You probably already know what these are, and you’d probably never say them to someone. Even if you have a huge crush on someone and you want to ask her out — actually, especially if you want to ask someone out — don’t try to compliment someone on a sexual body part. It’s just rude, and in certain settings this type of comment can be construed as sexual harassment. Keep your compliments polite!

TL;DR in English: Avoid backhanded compliments. Don’t mistake a cat call for a compliment. Avoid demeaning comments.

With a clean microfiber cloth, wipe down the surface that you just sanded. This will remove sanding and metal dust, as well as leftover polishing compound or water. Even when you're cleaning, it’s important to rub and buff in the direction of the grain. Look closely at the metal to determine what direction the surfaces runs in, and make sure you rub and clean in that same direction. Transfer some vinegar to a spray bottle. Spray the surface of the metal with several sprays of vinegar. Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the metal.  The vinegar will clean the surface of the metal and remove all traces of other compounds and cleaners. Do not use bleach, oven cleaner, abrasive cleaners, or abrasive pads when cleaning stainless steel. When the stainless steel is clean and dry, apply a few drops of oil to a clean microfiber cloth. You can use mineral oil, vegetable oil, or even olive oil. Rub the cloth against the steel, in the direction of the grain, to polish the metal. Add more oil as necessary. Continue rubbing until the entire surface has been polished.

TL;DR in English: Wipe the surface to remove dust. Clean the entire surface with vinegar. Polish the steel.

Talking about your assignments for a class you share is a great ice breaker. Whether you're picking a study date so you guys can study together or complaining about how hard you think the next test is going to be, it's an easy way to start a conversation with a classmate you haven't talked to before. Ask them questions about their favorite artist, hobbies, or food, and try to get to know them.  You can say something like, “This test is going to be hard. Do you want to help each other study?” Invite them over to your house for the study date. Once you're hanging out and studying together, turn on some music and ask them what they would like to listen to. Offer them snacks, and try to get to know them better. Keep the conversation flowing throughout your study time. Who doesn’t love a good story? If something someone said reminds you of a related story, tell them the story! It's a great way to catch people's attention and keep them interested. For example, if someone happens to mention their dog, tell them a funny story about your dog that their story reminded you of. Amusing stories have the power to grab people's attention and make you appear super interesting. Make sure the club features an activity you enjoy or are interested in learning more about. This is an easy way to meet new people with similar interests. Some types of clubs you could join include yearbook, newspaper, art club, and various sports clubs. Don't hide in the corner. After all, you're at a social event to mingle, not to go unnoticed. Talk to everyone there so you can easily transition into starting a conversation with the popular people. Go with a friend if you're scared to go alone. Put together a birthday party or get-together, but don't leave people out. Invite the popular people along with your other friends, and don't leave anyone hanging at the party. Make sure you have awesome music, tasty food, and maybe even a theme to make it interesting. Everyone will remember you for that impressive party you threw. Make sure you keep it PG,...

If you didn't have any luck with just soap and water, you may need to use more powerful cleaning ingredients. Take a large bowl or pot, and pour in a cup of white vinegar. Then add ¼ cup of baking soda. Stir the baking soda into the vinegar until they are mixed. Drop the plastic containers into the bowl with the vinegar and baking soda, remembering to also add the lids. Then add enough water so that the containers are fully submerged. Stir the mixture in the bowl with a large spoon. Keep the plastic container in the mixture for 24-48 hours. This will allow the vinegar and the baking soda to thoroughly work to deodorize the container. The baking soda and vinegar should have deodorized the container. However, vinegar can leave behind a strong scent itself. This is why you should put the container in the dishwasher directly after the container is done soaking in the mixture. If you don't have a dishwasher, scrub thoroughly using water and dishwashing detergent.

TL;DR in English: Make a vinegar and baking soda mixture. Add the plastic containers and some water. Let the plastic container soak. Put the plastic container in the dishwasher.

The occasional bout of diarrhea is normal, but there may be a problem if you experience diarrhea on a regular basis. Talk to your doctor if you:  have has diarrhea for more than two days are having severe pain in your abdomen or rectum are dehydrated have a fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit or higher notice blood or pus in your stools or stools that are black and tarry looking Antibiotics can both trigger and help prevent diarrhea, depending on the cause. On the one hand, over-use of antibiotics can kill off the "friendly" bacteria in your large intestine, which creates imbalances and digestive problems that often lead to diarrhea. On the other hand, if you have a bacterial infection that's impacting your GI system and triggering chronic diarrhea, then short-term use of antibiotics can be helpful in helping you fight the infection. Antibiotic use is a thin line to walk when it comes to preventing or causing diarrhea, so follow your doctor's instructions carefully.  Food poisoning usually resolves itself within a few days (a week at the most), so antibiotics are typically not prescribed unless a person has a weakened immune system. If responsible antibiotic use is still triggering diarrhea, then consider supplementing with probiotic supplements (containing strains of healthy bacteria normally found in your large intestine) while you're on the medication and even continuing for a week afterwards.  Other medications that commonly trigger diarrhea include laxatives, blood pressure drugs, chemotherapy, weight loss drugs and antacids (those containing magnesium). Over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications, such as loperamide (Imodium A-D) and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol, Kaopectate), may help reduce the incidence of or outright prevent diarrhea, although they are not recommended for infants and children. Loperamide combats diarrhea by slowing down how fast food and liquid move through your intestines, which allows more water to be absorbed and more solid stool to form. Bismuth subsalicylate works by directly...

Meditation helps to quiet negative thoughts in your head and improve your focus.  Each day, take at least ten minutes and sit in a quiet space where you will be uninterrupted and focus on nothing but your body and your breaths. If you haven't ever meditated, use an app like Headspace or Calm. Your overthinking might be triggered in part by an attachment to your phone.  You might find yourself looking at it every minute for a call or text from your partner. Instead of obsessing over communicating with them, unplug sometimes. Leave your phone at home occasionally when going out with friends.  Put it on silent when working or watching your favorite show. Your overthinking might come from a self esteem issue.  You may worry that you don’t measure up or that your partner deserves better. To combat these thoughts, repeat mantras to yourself in the mornings or when you feel down. You might say “I am beautiful.  I am intelligent.  I am worthy of love.” You might want to spend all your free time with your partner just so you can keep an eye on them.  Though spending time together is good, your relationship with yourself is critical.  Take at least one day a week to do something that’s just for you. Remember that you’re not just a person in a relationship; you have a whole identity apart from that.  Spend time doing your favorite hobbies like reading, writing, running, or dancing. The more activities you do outside of your relationship, the less time you will have to overthink.

TL;DR in English: Practice meditation daily. Put down your phone more often. Repeat positive mantras to yourself daily. Make time for yourself apart from your partner.

One option would be to build and mount your panels on a cart. This would place the panel at an angle but allow you to change which direction the panel faces in order to increase the amount of sun it gets in a day. This will, however, require you to adjust the panel 2-3 times a day. This is a popular way to mount the panels because they tend to receive the most sunlight and are out of the way. However, the angle will need to be consistent with the sun’s path and your peak load time. This will limit you to only getting full exposure at certain times of day. This option is best if you have a large number of panels and very little ground space to place them on. The stands usually used to mount satellite dishes can also be used to mount solar panels. They can even be programmed to move with the sun. However, this option will only work if you have a very small number of solar panels.

Flatten the gum into a disk, just like you would in the normal snap method. Stick your tongue through the disk without breaking it, then withdraw your tongue and clamp the edges together to make a a sealed air bubble. Chew to pop this bubble and make a snapping noise. Blowing into the bubble as you pull out your tongue might help. Some people find it faster to fold the gum in half instead. Bring one end over to the other, sealing the sides and ends with your teeth and the sides of your mouth. If you manage to do this correctly, you'll end up with a "dumpling" of air, which pops just like an ordinary bubble. If you want to snap gum many times as you chew, you'll have to practice one of the two steps above until you can do it rapidly or even unconsciously. Once you learn these larger motions, you can try making the bubbles smaller and smaller, until you can form them just by folding the gum over and chewing. Chewing too hard or too soft will prevent the bubbles from forming and making noise, so it takes quite a bit of practice before you can get a steady stream of snaps.

TL;DR in English: Form the gum into a bubble. Fold it into a dumpling shape instead. Practice snapping repeatedly.

Most dermatologists agree that cleansing the skin is the best way to reduce oil. Make sure to use a gentle, pH balanced cleanser rather than regular soap. Most soaps are highly alkaline and strip the natural acid mantle from the skin leaving it vulnerable to bacteria.  Products containing  benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or beta-hydroxy acid are often considered best. These are slightly acidic, however, so start off with only a small amount to make sure your skin doesn't have an adverse reaction. When washing your face, make sure you use warm water, not hot. Hot water can further irritate the skin. Place a few drops on a clean, natural cotton pad and wipe it gently over the affected area. Toners can be harsh on skin, so dermatologists often recommend only using them on oily parts of your face rather than the whole face. While it may seem counterproductive, oil and moisture are two different things. Even oily skin can be dehydrated and requires moisturizer to stay healthy. Make sure to use a light, oil-free moisturizer. This is a quick, effective solution to soak up excess oil. They won't cut down on your skin's oil production though, so this treatment should be paired with a cleansing regimen for the best results. Make sure you don't rub your skin with blotting papers. This can spread dirt and cause irritation. Instead, just gently press the paper down on your skin and hold it there for 15 to 20 seconds. Masks help draw out dirt and oil, keeping pores clean. These products can also dry out the skin, however, so make sure you don't overuse them. Once a week should be the maximum usage. Use powder blush rather than cream blush and powder eye shadows rather than cream eye shadows. A dusting of a translucent powder can be applied two or three times during the day after blotting the face with a tissue to remove any excess oil.

TL;DR in English: Use a gentle facial cleanser twice a day. Use a toner free of alcohol or acetone. Moisturize your skin. Use blotting papers. Use a clay mask. Apply an oil-free, mineral powder makeup base for the daytime.

Consider a makeup primer. Skip foundation. Conceal where needed. Set your face with powder.

The first step in finding yourself a family doctor is to research which doctors in your area are accepting new patients. Depending upon your location, this may be a hard task or an easy task. It depends on the amount of doctors practicing there compared to the amount of patients looking to find a family physician. You may have plenty of options available, or you may struggle to find a family physician who is currently accepting new patients. You can look on the Internet to research family doctors who are accepting new patients in your area. You should be able to find out by making a simple call to the receptionist at the doctor's office whether the physician's office hours work for you, as well as to confirm that your insurance is valid at the practice. Different clinics are operated in different ways, and it is important to find one that works well with your schedule and lifestyle. If you are seeking a new family doctor because you do not feel that the relationship with your current doctor meets the standards you are hoping for, it is important to actively seek out the qualities you are looking for. Many family doctors will offer a first appointment as a "meet and greet," which gives both you and the doctor a chance to connect and to see if the two of you will be a good fit for a professional healthcare relationship moving forwards.  During this initial visit, you can bring up the aspects of a doctor-patient relationship that are important to you. You can use this visit to assess whether or not the new doctor is likely to be a good fit for you.

TL;DR in English: Research doctors in your area who are accepting new patients. Consider whether that physician's schedule is a good fit for you. Empower yourself to seek out the qualities you are looking for.

Look at what you have that a girl could want. From good looks to a nice cash flow or a good car, you could be used for any number of things. You can also be used for your clout, whether it's being a big name on a small campus or even becoming moderately famous. Of course, you don't have to be a big deal to be used. You can be taken advantage of no matter who you are. For instance, if the relationship is always one-sided, such as you're always driving her everywhere, you could be being taken advantage of. See if she only seems interested in going out with you if you take her somewhere nice. Watch if she just wants to just go somewhere where she can be seen with you. She could also be just hanging around to meet certain co-workers. Keep an eye out if she's more interested in that than in just spending time with you. She could also be looking for a free ride, literally, or just someone who will be there when she needs something. That is, some women may use you by only calling when they want something. Maybe they want you to fix something or pick up something for them. Pay attention to when women call and how they talk on the phone with you. If she only calls every few weeks and seems to want a favor each time, she may not be that into you. If she only wants to chat you up at work, she may just be using you to get ahead. You can check by asking her out on a date, but be careful, since work relationships can be tricky. Similarly, if she works somewhere else but only calls you at work to ask work questions, she could just be using you.

TL;DR in English: Assess your status. Assess her desire for status. Watch for needy calls. Check for work-only flirting.

One of the first ways that you can begin to manage an issue that crops up in your life is to set a schedule and follow it diligently.  You may feel that things are in disarray, but a schedule and routine will help to restore order into your life.  You may be unsure of the outcome of the crisis, but at least you can find some comfort in establishing a pattern. Consider either using an online calendar to document all of your appointments and meetings or using a paper calendar. During this time, you may need a bit of a respite from work or just need more support from your coworkers in general.  Communicate with your team about this.  You do not need to get into the nitty-gritty details of the issue unless it is work-related, but you should share enough so that they understand your need to step back a bit. You might say something like “I wanted to let you all know that I am dealing with some issues at home.  I will work to ensure that these issues do not affect my work, but I may need a bit of extra support during this time.” If you are in the position to, delegate some tasks to others.  If you are feeling overwhelmed at work, assign some of your tasks to coworkers or interns.  If you have a subordinate or supervisee who is looking for more experience, they will likely be a great resource to you during this time.  Try assigning some basic level tasks to them first to assess how they perform.  If they do well, you can give them assignments that are progressively more difficult until your crisis abates. You might also ask your boss to delegate some of your tasks to others, particularly to those who are your equals in rank in the office. During a time of personal crisis, it is unwise to take on new assignments at work.  Rather than giving yourself more work, focus instead on being a good steward of the work you are currently tasked with. You may want to take a bit of time away from the office.  Getting some space from work can be very helpful in clearing your head and rejuvenating your spirits in the midst of a...

TL;DR in English: Set a schedule. Talk to your boss and coworkers. Delegate, if possible. Don’t take on new projects. Consider taking some time off. Talk to your family and friends. Learn to say no. Be kind. Accept and grieve the situation.

Makeup primers provide light coverage and help your makeup last longer throughout the day. You can even opt for a primer that includes a moisturizer, which allows you to skip applying a moisturizer in the morning! Apply a dot of primer to your nose, then start to blend outward. Add more primer as needed to cover your entire face. When you’re going for a natural makeup look that you can wear to school, heavy foundation is a big no-no. If you feel like your skin still needs more coverage than a concealer can provide, use a makeup primer, light tinted moisturizer, or BB cream to even out your skin tone. Apply it with clean fingers to keep the coverage light.  Make sure that your tinted moisturizer or BB cream is oil-free so it’s less likely to clog your pores. If your skin is extremely oily, you may want to skip a general moisturizer and just use a tinted version so you can moisturize and even out your complexion in one step. While tinted moisturizers and BB creams are usually more sheer than traditional foundations, it’s still important to choose a shade that matches your skin tone. Test it by blending a small amount across your cheek, and checking it in natural light to see if it’s a match. Even if you’re using a sheer tinted moisturizer or BB cream, make sure to blend it over your jawline and down onto your neck. You don’t want to wind up with a line across your jaw where your makeup ends. It’s common for pre-teens and teens to have breakouts, so you may have some spots that you want to conceal. Dab concealer just on those spots, and blend it with a clean finger or concealer brush.  Make sure to choose a concealer that matches your skin tone as closely as possible. Otherwise, you’ll only wind up drawing attention to the areas that you’re trying to hide. As with your moisturizer, choose a concealer that’s oil-free. If you have acne, you may also want to look for one that contains acne-fighting ingredients, such as salicylic acid, to help fight the breakout while concealing it. If you’re using a stick concealer...

With Counter-Strike, it’s possible to set up and host a private server that will only be accessible to you and the friends and family you choose. To invite friends to play with you on this server, you will need to provide them with your IP address. You need your public IP address, not your local one. Your best bet to find this is using a website, such as What’s My IP, that will tell you your public IP address. When you downloaded Counter-Strike, it will have created a file on your computer containing all the information it needs to run. Open the file location (it may be under downloads if it’s nowhere else) and open the file entitled "hlds" (all lowercase). This will launch the Start Dedicated Server module. Under Game, set the game to Counter-Strike. Choose your map. Under Network, select Internet for an online game or LAN for an offline game. Click Start Server. From there, you will be able to add the friends and family that you want to invite to play on this server. Give them your IP address.  For your friends to join, they will have to connect to your server by typing Connect and your IP address into their consoles. For instance, if your IP address is 12.34.567.89, they would type Connect 12.34.567.89.  If you or any of your friends have trouble connecting, you may need to shut off your firewall.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to have great hair. Wash your hair every 1-2 days, have it trimmed regularly by a professional, and use a deep-conditioning treatment once a month if your hair feels dry. Choose simple hairstyles, like a bun or down in loose waves. Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Getting enough sleep will make your skin look bright and fresh and will keep you from having dark circles under your eyes. Having good skin will help you look more wealthy. Rich people often have a pearly white smile. Get the same look by making a priority out of your oral health. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss every day, and use mouthwash to keep your breath fresh.  Rich teenagers can afford to have their teeth professionally whitened, but you can get the same look by whitening your teeth at home. Use white strips once a week, plus brush daily with a whitening toothpaste for a pearly-white smile.  If your teeth are very sensitive or have decay, you should not use whiteners. Try adding baking soda to your toothbrush when you brush your teeth instead. A light spritz of perfume or cologne can make you smell nice all day. However, too much of a scent can be overwhelming to other people, and can even cause them to have headaches. Keep moderation in mind when you apply a fragrance. Dirty, jagged fingernails are a sign of poor hygiene. Luckily, you don't have to get a manicure once a week to have nice nails. Wash beneath your fingernails when you take a shower, and keep them clipped or filed neatly. If you polish them, choose neutral shades and reapply the polish when it starts to chip. Rich teenagers usually don’t wear a ton of makeup. Keep it simple with a moisturizing foundation, mascara, blush, and a neutral lipstick or lip gloss. It’s okay to experiment with different makeup looks to find what looks best on you, but your focus should be on simplicity.

TL;DR in English: Keep your hair neat. Get 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Make a habit out of good dental hygiene. Spritz on a little perfume or cologne before you leave the house. Keep your fingernails neat. Apply light makeup if you wear it at all.

Once you have decided to have an abortion, you want to make sure that you have the procedure in a clean, safe, professional medical office. It is possible that your gynecologist performs the procedure. If your doctor does not perform abortions, ask for a referral to an office where you can have the procedure.  In the US, you can look for a Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood offers a comprehensive range of reproductive health care services, and can be a great resource for you (even if you decide to keep the pregnancy). Make sure to find out if the clinic you phone actually offers abortions. Some Planned Parenthood locations do. Many "crisis pregnancy" centers serve to try to scare and manipulate you out of getting an abortion. A simple question when you phone will get you the answers you need. There are two types of abortions. One is an in office surgical procedure and the other occurs by taking a prescribed pill. Once you have found a provider, discuss these two options with them. Ask the health care providers about abortion laws in your state. Some states require minors to have the permission of a parent or guardian before having an abortion. However, you can sometimes get permission from a judge to waive that requirement. Ask the clinic about the restrictions in your state. If you are under 18, it is possible that you might need a parent's permission to have an abortion, depending on in which state you live. You can find this information out by asking your health care provider about the laws in your particular state. Either way, you might want to consider discussing your situation with your parents. Hopefully, they serve as a resource for you.  Find the right time and place to talk to your parents. You want somewhere private, where you will not be interrupted. Ask your parents if this is a good time to talk — you don't want them to be distracted. Try to remain calm and honest. Articulate your feelings and your needs clearly. Many states require parental consent, but there are also ways that you can...

TL;DR in English: Locate the appropriate health care provider. Talk to your parents. Schedule the procedure without parental consent. Find a supportive person. Prepare for your visit. Know what to expect.

Cosmetic tattooing is done with an electric needle that rapidly deposits ink pigments into the dermis layer of skin. Cosmetic tattooing is also known as permanent makeup. These procedures are often used to create the appearance of fuller eyebrows, permanent eyeliner, or permanent lipstick, but using it to create freckles has become more popular in recent years.  A hollow, vibrating needle will pierce through the top layer of skin and release a droplet of pigment. While cosmetic tattooing is possible to remove, it is very difficult to do so, and your skin may never look the same again. To reduce the risk of negative side effects, like infection, make sure that the professional you hire knows what he or she is really doing.  Check each tattoo artist's credentials. Make sure that he or she is a properly trained and licensed aesthetician. Get a recommendation from a plastic surgeon or former client. Speak with former clients, and ask to see before-and-after photos of freckle tattoos. The professional may have suggestions, but in order to get the look you really want, you need to have an active voice in the matter. If possible, go over a few photographs to determine which freckled look is right for you.  The tattoo artist will help you determine the best hue and shade of color for your freckles. You should also discuss the placement of your freckles. When the time comes, schedule an appointment and get your freckles tattooed on. Before the procedure, the technician will sketch out the area that will be tattooed using a sterile surgical pen. Anesthetic gel will then be placed on the area to numb it. During the procedure, you can expect to feel a little stinging sensation. Make sure that the aesthetician uses sterile gloves and sterilized equipment during the procedure. You will need to reduce the swelling with a cold compress and apply an antibiotic ointment to minimize the risk of infection. Follow the tattoo artist's instructions about how to take proper care of the area while it heals.  Note that immediately...

TL;DR in English: Understand how cosmetic tattooing works. Consult a few professionals equipped for cosmetic tattooing. Discuss the look you want. Get the tattoo. Take care of your tattoo afterward.

Cold compresses can help reduce pain and inflammation around the affected area. Don’t place ice or the cold compress directly on your skin. Instead, wrap it in a cloth to protect your skin from burn. Leave it on your skin for around 10 minutes. Place it on your perineal area every couple of hours. If the tear is causing you pain, try an over-the-counter pain reliever. Acetaminophen such as Tylenol, ibuprofen such as Advil, and NSAIDs like Aleve can help reduce your pain and discomfort. Make sure to read the label and take the medication only as directed. A sitz bath is one in which you rest your bottom in the water. It can help both heal the vaginal tears and relieve pain. Sit in warm water for up 10 minutes. Afterwards, pat yourself dry with a clean towel. You may try using some natural healing oils on the external skin of your vagina. Try a small dab of aloe vera gel, vitamin E oil, or non-antibacterial soothing oil. Don’t use antibacterial creams on your vagina because it will upset the balance of natural good bacteria. Vaginal tears can start to itch when they heal. Tears can also make that area tender or dry. If you experience this, you can take an oatmeal bath. Fill a tub with warm water and oatmeal. Relax in the bath water while the oatmeal helps relieve the itching and inflammation.

TL;DR in English:


Have a failsafe response ready. Take control of the conversation. Talk to someone. Report them.

First, you'll feel a headache and a muscular stiffness in the jaw. It will be difficult to open and close your mouth. This is why the condition is commonly known as "lockjaw." Symptoms usually set in about eight days after infection, although the onset has been known to range from three days to three weeks.  A shorter incubation period signals a more heavily infected wound. Also, tetanus-infected wounds take longer to incubate when they are father from the central nervous system. Seek urgent treatment if you experience tetanus symptoms within fewer than eight days of exposure. On their own, a headache and a slightly stiff jaw should not terrify you. This could mean a lot of things. However, it wouldn't hurt to check with a doctor if you're worried. As tetanus worsens, you'll experience a stiff neck, and you'll have trouble swallowing. Other symptoms may include:  Painful hardening of the abdominal muscles Spasms in the jaw, chest, and abdomen. These spasms can cause painful, hyper-extended back arching, or opisthotonos. Sweating and fever Irregular breathing and heartbeat Advanced cases of tetanus can severely impair your breathing with spasms in your throat and vocal cords – and these spasms can cause fractures and muscle tears. Muscular stiffness may cause the spine and other long bones to fracture. You may experience high blood pressure and an irregular heartbeat. Untreated tetanus can cause pneumonia, blood clots in the lungs, and even a coma. Despite the innovations of modern treatment, 10-30% of tetanus patients die from the condition. The mortality rate is highest in unvaccinated people and people over 60 years old. Your chances might be better if you're vaccinated, you have a strong immune system, and you're relatively young. This does not mean that you shouldn't be worried!

TL;DR in English: Identify the early signs of tetanus. Watch for progressing symptoms. Be aware of the complications.

The liver aids both in glandular function and with other organ systems. It protects the body by detoxifying hormones, drugs, and any biological molecules not produced in the human body. The liver also synthesizes cholesterol and proteins that might otherwise lead to clotting and inflammation. It stores vitamins, minerals, and sugar while removing bacteria.  The liver is involved in several important body functions, so it can become taxed by overuse. It's very important to return an overburdened liver to healthy enzyme levels to ensure all of these processes continue to function normally. Partly because the liver performs so many essential functions, it is prone to a number of different diseases. There are a wide variety of diseases that can cause your liver enzyme levels to shoot up:  Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): fats such as triglycerides and cholesterol accumulate in the liver. Hepatitis viruses: Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E all have different causes. However, each different type of hepatitis infection taxes the liver. Other infections that burden the liver include mononucleosis, adenoviruses, and cytomegalovirus. Tick bites and parasites can cause harmful diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or toxoplasmosis. Cancer that is often related to previous viral infections and liver cirrhosis Alcoholic hepatitis Jaundice Cirrhosis or the late-stage scarring of the liver Because the liver is involved in so many different processes, there is no single list of symptoms that point to liver disease. However, every liver disorder has both unique and shared symptoms.  If you experience any of these symptoms, speak with your healthcare provider immediately:  Yellowish skin and eyes that suggest jaundice Abdominal pain and swelling Swelling in the legs and ankles Itchy skin Dark yellow or reddish urine color Pale stools or bloody, tarry stools Chronic fatigue Nausea or vomiting Loss of appetite Weight loss Dry mouth, increased thirst A tendency to...

TL;DR in English: Learn what the liver does for your body. Educate yourself on conditions that can tax the liver. Recognize the symptoms of liver disease. See your healthcare provider for a diagnosis. Track your liver enzymes.

It's okay to try to compromise or persuade your parents if they say no. However, do not start complaining, raising your voice, or otherwise behaving in an argumentative fashion. This will only frustrate your parents and will greatly decrease the likelihood they'll change their minds.  Avoid phrases like, "It's not fair!" This can come off as argumentative. Instead, try something like, "Okay, thank you for listening, but I feel like you're not hearing my side." If they say no, don’t protest or plead with them. Show that you are mature by listening to what they say without reacting.  Stay calm, and take a deep breath before you respond. Avoid arguments. Arguing with your parents won’t change their minds; instead, they’ll likely become more resistant to the idea of you getting a phone. Understand their response. If your parents say no, remember that they have a good reason. They have your best interest in mind, or may just not be able to add the expense of a phone right now. If money is a concern, offer to pay for some of the costs yourself. If you already have a job, say you'll save money from that. You can also offer to get a job to help pay for the phone.  You can also offer to earn the phone in other ways. For example, ask if you can have a phone in exchange for bringing your math grade up. Say something like, "I could put $25 of my own money towards the bill each  month." Whether you get a yes or a no, you need to ask your parents a few clarifying questions to know what you need to do next.  If they say yes, ask them for their rules and expectations. Say, “I’m so excited about getting my new phone! How can I prove to you guys that you’re making a good decision?” If they say no, ask them what you can do to show them that you’re ready for a phone. Say, “What can I do to show you that I’m responsible enough for a phone?” If your parents say yes, then talk to them about when you can go phone shopping. If they say no, take steps to show your parents that you are responsible and reconsider how you can show them...

TL;DR in English: Refrain from arguing or complaining. Accept their answer. Offer to earn the phone. Ask for the details. Plan your next step. Request they think it over. Accept a "No" for now.

The dog might look friendly, but if you don't know the dog, there is no way to tell how it reacts to strangers. If the owner gives you special instructions that differ to the ones told here, follow them. If the owner lets you pet the dog, ask the owner where the dog likes to be petted. If you see a dog with no owner loose on the street, proceed carefully and stay in position to defend yourself if necessary. Dogs chained up or left in a yard or other location with limited space may be more likely to bite, as are dogs eating or chewing on something. Approach these dogs with caution, and abandon attempts to pet them at any sign of aggression, as described below. Signs of aggression include barking, a tail standing straight up, raised hackles, growling, or a body held in a rigid position. Signs of discomfort, fear, or anxiety include lip licking, showing the whites of the dog's eyes, avoiding eye contact, holding the tail low, yawning, or pulling the ears back. Never stare into a dog's eyes, that usually makes them think you want to fight them. If the dog does not calm down or approach you within thirty seconds, abandon the attempt. Invite the dog to take the first step by squatting down closer to their level. More confident dogs only require bending over slightly, but don't bend directly over the dog, as this could make them feel threatened.  Sometimes, you can help a dog to calm down by introducing yourself. Dogs introduce themselves to each other by sniffing. Humans introduce themselves to each other by shaking hands. This works with a human introducing themselves to the dog. The human holds out the back of their hand to the dog’s snout, and if it sniffs the hand, it will usually calm down. Never squat down near a dog without an owner or a dog that is acting aggressive (see the signs listed above). Remain standing to defend yourself in case the dog attacks. If squatting down still hasn't attracted the dog, and it is acting shy or skittish (running away or hiding), look away since eye contact can be...

TL;DR in English: Ask the owner for permission to pet the dog. Be cautious if the dog has no owner. Back off if the dog shows signs of aggression or discomfort. Bend over or squat to invite dogs to approach. Coax shy dogs closer. Hold out your fist. See whether the dog is comfortable.

To stay out of trouble, plan in advance how you will handle a confrontation if it happens. When a bully is screaming at you, you're less likely to freeze up and go blank if you already know exactly what you are going to say.  Interrupt them. Say something like, “Sorry, I need to make a phone call,” and walk away before they can stop you. Offer to continue the conversation after class – they may have forgotten you and moved on to something else by then. If you know you can pull it off, smile and act amused. The last thing a bully wants is to be embarrassed in front of his friends. You can avoid trouble at school if you learn to take charge of a dangerous situation before it gets out of control. You may be able to calm your opponent down if you can figure out their underlying motive for harassing you. In some cases, you may be able to find another way to work things out that doesn't involve fighting.  Every time the bully asks a question, reply by asking her to explain herself. (“Why do you believe that?” or “What makes you think I did that?”) Be careful not to lose your temper or come across as sarcastic, as this will only make them angrier. If you're being bullied, you are not alone. Talk to your friends about the problem, and get their advice. You'll probably find that many of them have had to deal with the same thing in the past. You can avoid getting into trouble at school by asking them what they did to resolve the situation.  One out of every 5 high school students in the US reported being bullied at school in 2013, and 1 in every 6 has been bullied online.  Five percent of US students missed a day or more of school because they did not feel safe from a bully. In instances where bullying may lead to physical harm, always tell a parent or a teacher. Bullying is a serious problem – there have been numerous occasions where bullying has resulted in severe injury and even death. You can avoid getting into trouble if the school knows you aren't the one causing the problem.  Allowing a bully to get away with it...

Feed the kitten the food it was eating before you brought it home. Choose a food labelled as "Kitten" or "growth. Adjust the type of food you give your kitten as it grows up. Avoid giving your kitten additional food.

Wet the area of the cut with cold water.  This will wash the blood away from the cut. Typically, an alum block is used to help heal a small nick that results from shaving. Wetting the area can also help you remove shaving cream residue.  Alum blocks can also be used for other small cuts. It is safe enough to use on children. If your child suffers a minor cut, you can apply the alum cut to that area, the same way you would use it on the face. Don't forget to dab the alum block in cold water before use. Apply the block with light pressure and hold for for 20 – 30 seconds or until bleeding stops. You might experience a slight sting at first but that’s the indication that your cut is being sealed. The alum block acts as a coagulant to stop bleeding.  Remove the alum block from the skin if the tingling begins to feel too intense or uncomfortable. Wash face (or other body part) with cold water to close pores and wash away any residue from the alum block. Don't forget to let your block dry before putting it away. Some people use alum as an alternative to typical deodorants. This might be a good alternative if you are looking to avoid spraying or rubbing chemicals on your body. Talk to your doctor before trying an alum (or "crystal") antiperspirant. Some health care providers feel that it might be linked to diseases such as breast cancer. While the research is inconclusive, it is important to be aware of this possibility.

TL;DR in English: Use an alum block to heal a small cut. Apply the block to the area of the cut. Try alum deodorant.

These small, un-detailed sketches--only a square inch or two in size--will allow you to trace out the visual flow of the whole book. There’s no need to erase or revise these; just quickly draw and let your ideas flow. Focus on landscape design, focal points, and general scene layout. Focus on character development, exploring a range of potential expressions, postures, and moods for each character you intend to illustrate. You can use these as references throughout the whole illustration process. For example, if your main character begins the book in a sad state and ends happy, try drawing him or her in both poles of emotion, developing intermediate expressions in between. Each illustration you produce will eventually cover one or two pages of a physical book, so it’s important to match the dimensions of your sketch with those of your final product. Try creating a precise grid with a pencil and a ruler on your sketch paper before sketching your scenes.  If your illustrations cover two pages, make sure to mark the area occupied by the spine of the book, and avoid sketching important details in this space. Make sure to determine where the author intends to place the text on each page. Mark these areas with a grid, and avoid sketching over them with details. Your illustrations should seamlessly follow the plot of the book as printed on each page. Try to capture details portrayed in the story, and look for ways to subtly foreshadow events in coming pages with your images. Make sure each of your characters are easily identifiable across the entire book. Check for consistent clothing, coloration, and expressions. If characters are hard for children to identify across multiple spreads, they may struggle to follow the plot of the book. If you are illustrating for a client, be sure and run your sketches by them before proceeding. At this stage, images are relatively easy to alter or replace, and it is important to have the author’s full approval and feedback before you move on to painting. Using your study sketches for...

TL;DR in English: Draw thumbnail sketches of the book. Draw some study sketches of your story. Create a sketching template. Work with the text. Check for consistency. Share your sketches with your client. Prepare final sketches of each spread.

Only move someone if there is imminent danger when a bone is broken during a serious fall or from a car accident. Do not try to realign the bones or move the injured person if he is unable to move on his own. This will avoid further injury to the area.  Do not move anyone with a pelvic or hip fracture; pelvic fractures can cause massive internal bleeding into the pelvic cavity. Instead, call emergency services right away and wait for medical support. However, if a person with this kind of injury absolutely must be transported without emergency medical attention, then place a roll or pillow between the person's legs and secure the legs together. Roll the person onto a board for stabilization by rolling them as one piece. Keep the shoulders, hips and feet lined up and roll them all together while someone slides a board under her hips. The board must reach from the middle of the back to the knees.   Do not move a person with a potential broken back, neck or head. Immobilize her in the position in which you find her and call for emergency help immediately. Do not try to straighten her back or neck. Tell emergency personnel you suspect a broken head, back or neck and why. Moving the person could cause severe long-term damage, including paralysis. Care for all wounds before dealing with a broken bone. If a bone is protruding from the skin, do not touch it or try to place it inside the body. The color of bone is usually gray or light beige, not the white bone you see on Halloween and medical skeletons. If there is severe bleeding, always take care of the bleeding before dealing with the broken bone. Only provide care to the broken bone if emergency medical treatment is not expected immediately. If emergency personnel are expected immediately or you are en route to a hospital, splinting the area can do more harm than good. However, if treatment in a medical facility is not immediately available, you can help to stabilize the bone and relieve the pain using these guidelines.  Splint a broken arm or leg to give it...

TL;DR in English: Don’t move an injured person as a general rule. Control any bleeding from an accident or injury. Immobilize the area. Make a sling

Letting an Aries handle the planning aspects of dating can do you both a favor if you’re not good at making decisions.

When you bring it home, feed what it is used to eating at her previous home. A sudden change of diet will upset its tummy. Decide what you want to feed the kitten long term. After 2 - 3 days, when it is settled, you can gradually change its diet. Do this by mixing in increasing quantities of the new food over several days so that the kitten's stomach gets a chance to adjust to the new food. " This food is balanced to provide the calcium and extra protein that a growing kitten needs. Choose a good quality food that has a named meat, for example "chicken" rather than "meat meal" or "chicken meal", as top ingredient on the label. Know that cats are obligate carnivores, which means they depend on meat to be healthy. This means that you need to avoid foods that are heavily bulked up with cereals. You can spot this by seeing if cereals or soy products are high on the food label. Your kitten needs a growth food during their first six months. After that, their growth slows down.  Kitten foods are calorie dense, so if kitty is putting on too much weight, it is fine to switch to an adult food (less calories) at six months of age. If your kitty is at a correct weight switch to adult food at one year of age. For example, don't give milk or cream. The kitten doesn't need it and it is likely to upset its stomach.

TL;DR in English:


Get comfortable. Brush before you get too tired. Take care of yourself when you're down.

Though there are mixed reports about how long you should wait to follow up on a job application, the general consensus is that you should wait at least 3 to 5 days.  In fact, some hiring managers say that they prefer not to receive follow up emails at all. They believe that it is an attention-grabbing tactic and takes away from the time they need to select qualified candidates. That said, others say that following up will make you stand out in a good way.  Just remember that it's possible that dozens of applicants applied for the same position as you did, and that it takes time to sort through applications and find qualified candidates for the next round. You don't want to seem pushy or impatient by following up too soon. Ideally, you should address your email to the same person you reached out to when you applied for the job. If you can’t find the name, then "Dear Hiring Manager" may be the best you can do.  You may be able to find the contact information for the hiring manager on the company website or LinkedIn page. Always check the spelling. Nothing can create a negative impression quicker than misspelling someone's name. Something simple like, "Application Follow-Up for Editor Position" will do the trick. If the position had a reference or requisition number, then you can add that as well. Remember that the hiring manager may be hiring for multiple positions at once, so it's important to be as specific as possible. You can even put your name in the subject to make it easier for the hiring manager to find your application. Simply write "Dear" in front of the hiring manager’s name, just as you did when you wrote your cover letter. Don't fall into being too informal and say "Hi" or "Hey" just because it's an email—it's important to keep things on the formal side for now. "Dear Mr. Smith" is an appropriate salutation. Start off by saying when you applied for the position, how you found it, and that you are checking on the status. You can add that you would like to make sure that they received your materials....

TL;DR in English: Give it at least a few days before sending an email. Address your email to the correct person. Make the subject specific and direct. Write the correct greeting. State the position you applied for and when. Reinforce your enthusiasm and qualifications for the position. Keep the closing short and simple but enthusiastic. Proofread your draft before you send it. Practice patience while you wait for a response.

Place a thin plastic wedge against the body of the vehicle directly above, below, or to the side of the emblem.  Slide the wedge beneath the badge and into the glue.  You may need to do it from multiple angles to loosen the emblem sufficiently.  You can then either pry the emblem off, or use another method to cut through the adhesive in the middle.  If you pry the emblem off, it may break.  If you intend to throw the emblems away after, this method is fine. If you would like to keep the emblems, try using another method to cut through the glue in the middle. Cut a length of fishing line or dental floss that is about eight inches long.  Wrap each end around the index fingers on each of your hands, then press the line against the body of the vehicle.  Slide it down behind the emblem and pull the line to the left and right in a sawing motion as it passes beneath the emblem and through the adhesive.  This method offers the best chances of removing the badge completely intact. If the dental floss breaks, cut another length of it and repeat the process until you are through. .  You can also use a credit card in place of a plastic wedge or wire.  Slide the credit card behind the emblem and continue to work it through the softened adhesive until it is loose enough to remove.  Make sure to face the credit card out, toward yourself, so the letters don’t scratch the paint. If you would like to keep the emblem, try to remove as much glue as possible before pulling the emblem off. Once the emblem is off of the vehicle, spray adhesive removed on the bits of glue that remain on the body of the car.  Allow the adhesive remover to sit for a minute, then wipe the area clean with a rag. You may need to apply adhesive remover more than once to remove all of the glue.

TL;DR in English: Use a plastic wedge to pry the emblem off. Cut the adhesive with dental floss or fishing line. Remove the emblem using a credit card. Spray adhesive remover on the leftover glue.

There are many ways to find a job. Regularly checking postings on sites like Craigslist and in your local newspaper is a good place to start. It's also a good idea to look for help wanted signs as you go about your daily business.

Make sure your application materials are easy to read and free of spelling and grammatical errors. If possible, have someone else check your work. As you start applying for jobs, make sure there is nothing to embarrass you on social network profiles such as your Facebook page.

Checking applicants' social networking profiles has become a very common practice among employers. If you are called for an interview, showing up on time, looking professional, and speaking articulately are all important for your job prospects.

This is especially important if you realize you've taken a medication high in caffeine or eaten or drank something high in caffeine. Foods that are high in caffeine include things like chocolate, and beverages like tea and coffee also tend to be high in caffeine. If you have symptoms like difficulty breathing, call poison control right away to figure out how to handle the problem.  The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) in the United States can be reached at any time of day. It does not cost money to call and you can call even if it's not a medical emergency. Explain to the person on the phone your exact symptoms and what you ingested that caused an overdose. You will also be asked your age, weight, physical condition, time you took the caffeine, and amount. Ask for instructions on how to proceed. You may be advised to force yourself to vomit or to use other medications to treat your symptoms. However, do not force yourself to vomit unless instructed to do so by a professional. If you're experiencing intense symptoms, like dizziness, confusion, an irregular heartbeat, or difficulty breathing, go to the ER right away. Do not try to drive yourself. Call 911. In rare cases, caffeine overdoses can be fatal. Intense overdoses should be treated by medical professionals. If you ate or drank something unusual that caused the overdose, bring the container with you to the emergency room. At the ER, you will be given medical treatment depending on your symptoms, current health, amount of caffeine you ingested, and other factors. Talk over your symptoms with your doctor to figure out the right course of treatment for you.  You may be given activated charcoal tablets to treat an overdose. Laxatives may be used to get the caffeine out of your system. If your breathing is very bad, you may need breathing support. You may also need certain tests, like chest x-rays. For more mild cases of caffeine overdoses, you may only need medication to treat the symptoms until they pass.

TL;DR in English: Call poison control. Go to the emergency room. Get medical treatment.

Do everything you can to make brushing a comfortable act. Get a toothbrush that you like.  If you are frustrated with the time brushing takes, try setting a timer or playing a song of a certain length while you brush.
