Choose a romper that fits loosely and that has the right length. Pick a solid-colored jumper to have lots of accessorizing options. Pick a beautiful floral or patterned romper for a visually stunning effect. Wear a romper with pants in the fall and winter to enjoy the style all year.

Place the thick-shelled seeds in a saucer or cup. Fill this dish with just enough water to cover the seeds and let the seeds soak overnight.  Since the shells of these seeds are so thick, they germinate much better when they are softened with plenty of water. The seeds should still be firm after you soak them, but they will feel a little softer and appear more swollen. You should use a 1 to 5 gallon (3.8 to 19 L)  pot or other planting container. Ideally, the container should have four or five drainage holes. If you are keeping the container indoors, set it on top of a saucer to prevent excess water from creating a mess as it drains. Instead of using soil from your garden, fill the planting container with medium to high quality commercial potting mix. Any all-purpose, standard commercial potting mix should suffice. These flowers do not require special soil. Soak the soil with water before you plant the seeds. The soil should be thoroughly moist, but not soggy.  Allow any excess water to drain before you sow the seeds. You will need to make sure that the soil is moderately moist throughout the germination process. This stage will usually take one or two weeks. Gently press each seed 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) into the soil. Space them apart at even intervals. Four seeds should fit into a 1-gallon (4-L) container comfortably. If you are using a 5-gallon (20-L) container, you can sow a dozen or so seeds without crowding them out too much. Set the container in a sunny location where it can receive around 6 hours of sunlight daily.  If the weather is warm enough, you can place the container outdoors on a porch, balcony, or patio. If the plants do not receive enough sunlight, they might look lengthy. Bloom production might also suffer.

TL;DR in English: Soak the seeds. Find a large enough container. Fill the container with potting soil. Water well. Place 4 to 7 seeds in the container. Keep in direct sunlight.

Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help decrease inflammation, boost immunity and help protect against heart disease. Fish oil capsules can be purchased from most health food stores. Research has shown that women runners who avoid healthy fats is the top indicator of the risk of injury. In fact, consuming healthy fats can reduce your risk of running-related injuries, such as stress fractures. Snacks with healthy fat include walnuts, avocado and hard-boiled eggs. Research has shown that having caffeine is good for recovery. Ingesting caffeine along with carbohydrates after an intense run rebuilds glycogen stores 66 percent better than if you simply consumed carbohydrates alone. Another good recovery drink is chocolate milk because it has the right concoction of carbs, protein, and caffeine to help your muscles rebuild. For example, layer yogurt, berries, nuts and granola to make a parfait. While this looks like a fancy snack, it also gives your body the main nutrients key to better running: calcium, antioxidants, carbs, and protein. After an intense run, one of your next two meals should be a protein-heavy meal, which helps your muscles rebuild and repair. Add a salad of leafy greens to give your body added nutrients and minerals. Before a run, drink at least 8 ounces of water about 30 minutes before you leave. This will help prevent dehydration.  If you plan to run longer than 10 kilometres, consider bringing a water bottle with you. Staying hydrated during long runs will keep your legs from cramping and is also especially important when it is very hot out.  Even if you're not a regular runner, be sure to drink 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day. This will replenish the fluid lost during exercise. Just make sure to spread your water out and don't drink it all at once.

TL;DR in English: Take fish oil supplements. Eat more healthy fat. Have some caffeine! Drink chocolate milk. Create snacks with mixed nutrients. Replenish your body with nutrients after a hard run. Drink lots of water.

If silk flowers have been in storage for a while, they may build up dirt and grime. In this case, you can wash flowers in water with dish soap in a sink full of warm water, mix in two to three tablespoons of gentle dish soap. You can then gently swish your flowers in the water. This should remove any unwanted dirt and grime.  When you're done, set your flowers on a towel. Allow them to air dry. Make sure to add water to a small portion of the flowers first to make sure it does not damage them. Take a spray bottle and fill it halfway with distilled vinegar and halfway with water. From there, shake the bottle until the water and vinegar are mixed together. Spray the flowers with a light amount of the mixture and then let them dry. If you've never exposed your flowers to water before, spritz a light amount of water on a small corner of the flowers to see if it causes damage first. Many cleaning sprays are sold specifically for silk flowers. Some of these sprays can work well, but use discretion. Make sure the spray is designed for silk flowers, as sprays made for artificial flowers in general may not work on silk. You should also keep in mind flower sprays may be more expensive than other methods. If you have a dishwasher that can be a set to a gentle cycle, you can wash your flowers on the top rack without detergent. A mild amount of water will wash off set-in dirt and dust. However, make sure the manufacturer's instructions first as some silk flowers are not dishwasher friendly. This can result in your dishwasher getting stained and flowers getting damaged. As always, make sure your flowers respond well to water by adding a small amount to the flowers before washing them.

TL;DR in English: Wash your flowers in water. Use vinegar. Try cleaning sprays. Use the dishwasher.

Lacking an understanding of your personal values is like going on a trip without a GPS or a map of any kind. Values help us navigate through different circumstances, so that we lead a life that is personally fulfilling. To figure out some of your personal values, answer the following:  Which individuals have your greatest respect? What traits do they hold that you admire and why? If your home were on fire (any people and animals are already considered safe), what 3 objects would you save and why? What moments in your life were incredibly satisfying? What about the moment made you feel satisfied? After you have narrowed down a short list of important values, you must develop  S.M.A.R.T goals that support these values. Once you have developed goals that allow you to live out your values, do one thing that lets you move toward these goals daily. S.M.A.R.T. goals are:  Specific - clearly answer the "who, what, when, where, which, and why" Measurable - outline how you will assess your progress towards the goal Attainable - able to be achieved with the resources, skills, and abilities you have Realistic - the goal provides a challenge but also represents an objective that you are both willing and able to meet Timely - the determined time-frame must be feasible, while including some urgency The most common mental barriers to getting things done are often what we are telling ourselves on a daily basis. If asked why you haven't reached a particular goal, your response is because all the variables are not perfectly in place. These are excuses and you must remove them from the equation in order to achieve your goals.  Remove excuses by getting serious with yourself. Whatever you are using as an excuse is probably just a way to protect yourself from having to change. Setting SMART goals should help you to alleviate some of your excuses. For others, such as not having time, money, or resources, closely examine your life to determine what you can afford to cut out. Remove an insignificant activity or cost to prioritize a...

TL;DR in English: Identify your values and beliefs. Set goals that align with your personal values. Eliminate excuses.

Depending on how long your torso or legs are, you may need to look for petite or extended sizes so that the crotch isn’t too high or too low. If you can, try on a romper before purchasing it to make sure the arms, body, and legs aren’t too constricting. If you’re getting a romper with shorts, the shorts should fall on your mid- to upper-thigh area. If you’re getting pants, the hem should fall right near your ankle.  Part of the joy of wearing a romper is that they’re comfortable and stylish, so you want to avoid styles or sizes that are skin-tight. If you get a romper with pants or shorts that are too long, you could always have it hemmed. Black is classic, but reds, blues, and whites are all great options for a jumper. Having a basic piece will allow you to change up your accessories for different events, meaning that you can easily dress it up or dress it down.  A single-tone romper also lets you transition it from summer to autumn more easily because there won’t be a seasonally-specific pattern on it. Don’t be afraid to get a really bright color, too! If something catches your eye, go for it. For festivals, weekend brunches, and summer time trips, a colorful, bright romper can add a lot of style to your look without requiring a lot of extra pieces. For the hot summer months, it can be super nice to throw on a patterned romper, put on some sandals, grab your bag, and head out the door without having to worry about additional touches. Look for a romper with wider legs for a more bohemian style, or get a romper with tapered legs for a more upscale style. Make sure you try on the romper ahead of time to make sure the pants are long enough for your legs. Rompers with pants also make it easier for you to transition the style to an office job.

If you have long hair, pull all of your hair away from your face and secure it with a hair tie. If you have bangs, you may need a headband to hold them back away from your face as well. After you've opened your pores, gently wash your face with your usual facial cleanser. You don’t need to scrub hard, you just want to have a nice clean face to exfoliate. Wash off all the exfoliating paste with warm, not hot, water. Then splash your face with cold water to close your pores. Make sure you’ve removed all of the scrub, otherwise your face will be sticky or grainy from the leftover scrub. If you have oily, tough skin, you may be able to exfoliate daily without any problem. On the other hand, those with sensitive or dry skin should limit at-home exfoliating to 1-2 times per week. If your skin becomes red or irritated, cut back on how much you’re exfoliating and consult your doctor.

TL;DR in English: Pull your hair back. Use the face wash you usually use. Rinse the scrub off of your face with lukewarm water. Time your treatments.

When used correctly, condoms are 97% effective against most sexually transmitted infections. Use a condom any time you have vaginal or anal intercourse, and opt for protection such as a dental dam during oral sex. To properly put on a condom:  Inspect the wrapper for any cuts, holes, or punctures, and look for the expiration date. Do not use an expired condom or one that appears to be damaged. Carefully open the wrapper to ensure that the latex of the condom does not tear. Remove the condom and pinch the tip before rolling down the shaft of the penis. While still pinching the tip of the condom with one hand, line the condom up with the head of the penis and use your other other hand to roll the condom down the shaft of the penis to its base. Dispose of a used condom by tying off the open end and placing in a waste receptacle. Vaccines that guard against certain high-risk strains of HPV are now readily available to women and boys. It is recommended that girls get the vaccine between ages 11 and 12, but it may be administered at any point between ages 9 and 26. Boys can get the vaccine at ages 11 or 12, or up to age 21.  The vaccine is ideally administered before a girl or woman becomes sexually active, but may still benefit sexually active young women. HPV vaccines are generally given as a course of three shots over six months. Whenever you begin having sex with a new partner, have an open and honest discussion about your sexual history with your partner. Talk about what types of testing and screening you’ve had recently, and how many sexual encounters you have had since your last test or examination.  Take the time to discuss your sexual history before you begin having sex with a new partner. Do not be afraid to ask them specific questions such as, “Have you noticed any symptoms that may be related to HPV such as warts?” and, “How many sexual partners have you had?” Do respect a person’s decision to not share information with you if they do not want to, but also understand that you are under no obligation to...

TL;DR in English: Use a condom. Get vaccinated. Discuss sexual history.

With the turkey lying on its back, take the tip of one wing and tuck it under the shoulder of the turkey.  Do the same with the other wing.  If the neck flap is long enough, pull it tight under the turkey and use the wing tips to hold it in place. Having the wings tucked under the turkey also helps balance and stabilize the turkey in the pan. Cross one leg over the other at the ankles.  Be sure to cover the cavity at the tail of the bird with the legs.  While holding the legs in place, pull some kitchen twine under the ankles, then back over the top. Cross the ends of the twine over each other.  Pull the ends to tighten the twine so the legs are secure.  Cross the ends of the twine again and pull to secure your knot.  This is the simplest way to keep your turkey in a compact shape and keep the skin flaps closed.  It is important to secure the skin flaps, which will otherwise shrink back while the turkey is cooking and leave the meat underneath exposed to direct heat, which will result in overcooked, dry meat. Tie a double knot for more security. Trim any excess twine using kitchen sheers.

TL;DR in English: Tuck the wings under the turkey. Bring the turkey legs together. Tie the twine around the ankles.

When you want to make a living as a musician, you must reach as many people as possible an promote yourself all the time, because the more fans you have, the more people there are to buy your music. These days, one of the best ways to reach new fans is through social media and having friends, family, and fans share your music with others. Along with having accounts with all the popular social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Myspace, to name a few), you should also update them regularly and share your songs, performances, and videos there. While social media and digital marketing are important, you still have to get out there and perform all the time. Think outside the box when you're looking for gigs, and try to book yourself at events like weddings, parties, and charity events, along with the traditional concerts, shows, and club performances. By performing in front of live audiences, you will build a stronger fan following, develop a solid local market, and each show will bring more exposure and new fans. This is a more traditional way of getting your music out there, and it is still important for artists to get airplay. When you send your demo, be sure to address a specific DJ, and try to target a person that tends to play music in your genre. Today, however, musicians aren't limited to local radio stations, so also send a few of your tracks to:  College and university stations Web radio stations Satellite radio stations Music bloggers Agents are great because it’s their job to help make you more popular and get you paying gigs. Not only that, but if you're looking to get signed, agents are a huge asset because they have connections within the industry.  An agent’s job is to negotiate for you, find and book performances, and arrange show details, among other tasks.  Many of the larger labels don’t accept unsolicited demos, so an agent can get your foot in the door. This is only necessary if you want to sign a record deal with an actual label, which isn't strictly necessary these days. But a...

TL;DR in English: Promote your music through social media. Perform at every opportunity. Send your music to radio stations. Get an agent. Send your music to a few record labels.

One of the easiest ways to narrow down possible tree types is to identify if the tree is “coniferous” or “broadleaf”. Coniferous trees will have pointed needles, such as the type you may find on a Christmas tree. Broadleaf trees include everything else, and have wider, flatter leaves. Here are a few other ways you can classify leaves that might narrow your tree type down further:   Scales are a type of leaf similar to needles, but with a much broader face. They will be pointed at the tip, and tend to grow in overlapping clusters to give a scaly appearance. Simple leaves can either be broad or narrow, but they are typically flat with smooth edges. By contrast, jagged or serrated leaves are similar to simple leaves except for the fact that they have pointed ridges along the sides. Lobed leaves are broad leaves with large bumps or "hills and valleys" along the edge. Palmate leaves have multiple skinny leaves coming off one stalk, while pinnate leaves have multiple skinny leaves attached to their own stalks. These are all easily identifiable indicators of different types of tree. While observing the leaves, look around the branches for any fruits, flowers or other features that may help separate the tree from other types. Here are a few types of fruits and flowers to keep an eye out for:  Flowers can be grown in clusters or singularly. Check if the flowers on the tree grow in small bunches or all over the tree individually. The most easily recognizable types of fruit will all look and feel like the types you’d get from the grocery store. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re OK to eat, but it can help you identify a tree. These are known as flesh, soft, or berry fruits, and will have a soft but slightly firm exterior. Cones or catkin fruit are a cluster of woody, scale-like pieces formed into a conical or cylindrical mass. Pine cones might be the most familiar type, but there are plenty of cones from non-pine trees. Acorns and nuts can be grouped under hard, woody fruit. These will have a tough exterior,...

TL;DR in English: Look at the shape and type of the leaves. Check for any fruit, berries, nuts or flowers on the tree. Examine the color and shape of the bark. Observe the overall shape and height of the tree. Narrow down your location.

Each state is different. In some states, the new owner can evict you from the apartment. However, in other states, you can’t be evicted if you recorded your lease before the mortgage. You should research your law online.  Also check in with a lawyer. Money might be tight, but legal aid offices can provide you with legal advice about your rights and responsibilities if the building is sold in a foreclosure sale. You can find legal aid by visiting the Legal Services Corporation’s website at http://www.lsc.gov. Also contact the National Low Income Housing Coalition. They have information about the foreclosure process. If you are Section 8, then contact your nearest Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office. If you were given notice by a court, you need to answer the court. The purpose of the answer is to confirm that you are renting the property. Go to your county court clerk’s office.  You’ll need to file an answer. This document should contain your name and address, and also state you are living in the property and paying rent. You’ll probably also need to attach a copy of your lease. The court might have a form you can fill out as your answer. Check the website or ask the court clerk. Generally, you must continue to pay your landlord rent during the foreclosure process. Until the building is sold, your landlord is the owner, so make checks out to them. Foreclosure actions can take six months or so to complete.  Decide whether you want to pay rent to the new owner once the building has been sold. You don’t have a legal contract (lease) with them. Instead, you can wait to receive your notice to vacate, which means they plan to evict you. If you are Section 8, notify HUD that the ownership has changed. Your state law should tell the landlord what they must do with your deposit. Generally, they may need to refund it to you or transfer it to the new owner. Contact the current landlord and ask about the deposit money.  Keep hounding them. A landlord in foreclosure probably has a lot of problems and is very...

TL;DR in English: Check your state law. Answer any court papers. Continue to pay rent. Check what happens to your deposit. Receive a notice to vacate. Ask for money to move out. Sign a new lease. Consider suing your old landlord.

You know what your normal period is like. Whether it's heavy or light, you know what to expect from your period. Implantation bleeding should be lighter than your period, though, because you're not shedding the whole lining of your uterus, plus it usually won't last as long as your period. Implantation spotting normally occurs before the expected period. You should only see a few spots of blood, plus it will be lighter in color, usually pink or brown, as opposed to the bright red of period blood. When you're PMSing, you may have mood swings, but that is also a sign of early pregnancy. In both cases, the moodiness is due to hormonal shifts. Because both PMS and early pregnancy change the hormonal balance in your body, both can make your breasts feel swollen or a little painful. They might feel a bit more full if you are pregnant., Both PMS and implantation can cause you to feel extra tired. When you become pregnant, you can feel this symptom as early as one week in, most likely  because of an uptake in progesterone. However, PMS can also make you feel fatigued as well, also likely due to hormonal changes. Hormonal changes can also cause headaches. Therefore, you may experience them both during early pregnancy and when you have PMS. Cravings can crop up during PMS. Similarly, they can also appear during early pregnancy. Sometimes pregnancy cravings can be stranger but not always. PMS can give you either constipation or diarrhoea, due to hormonal changes. Pregnancy is similar, though it is more likely to give you constipation. Also, symptoms are more severe in later pregnancy. Usually, PMS symptoms will occur 1 to 2 weeks before you start your period. They usually disappear within a couple of days of starting your period. Implantation symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms generally occur around the same time; it's at the same point in the cycle that you either implant or shed the lining of your uterus and start your period.

TL;DR in English: Know the difference between implantation bleeding and period bleeding. Pay attention to moodiness. Check for changes in your breasts. Look for tiredness. Watch for headaches. Notice food cravings. Check for changes in your digestive track. Understand when symptoms may appear.

. The single best way to get any teacher to look on you favorably is to pay attention in class. The more you pay attention and listen closely, the easier it will be for you to settle down when you're supposed to, and do your best work possible.  If you struggle to pay attention in class, talk to your parents and your teacher to let them know. It's possible you may not being challenged enough, or might have some behavioral problems that need help so you can do your best. Even though it's fun to sit next to your friends, try to hang out with them at recess, on the bus, and during passing periods. It might be better to sit away from them in class, to avoid the temptation to fool around. You might miss important things. When you're in school, you need to do what you're supposed to do as quickly and quietly as possible. If it's time to put away your things and go to lunch, that doesn't mean it's time to joke with your neighbor and stick your gum under the desk. Listen and follow instructions. Follow your teacher's instructions when you're not in the classroom as well. If you have to read a chapter from a book for class tomorrow, do it. Don't skip assignments and think the teacher will like you because you're friendly. Just do your work. It's very important that you be respectful and kind to not only your teacher, but to everyone else in class as well. Treat the other people in your class like you would want to be treated at all times.   Don't talk in class when it's not the right time. Teachers will not be happy at improper interruptions. Some kids think pushing the teachers buttons is a good way of getting other kids to like them, but this is disrespectful to everyone, especially the teacher. When you're in class, you need to do more than just sit silently and pay attention. Often, your teacher will ask for volunteers, or ask questions of the group, and it's important to speak up at appropriate times. Work hard to make the class environment positive.  Work in small groups politely. When it's time to break into...

Start with the right kind of meat and you're well on your way to making a delicious burger. For any type of grilling, you want to start with fresh quality meat. If possible, ask your butcher to grind the meat for you while you wait. Look for 75 to 80 percent lean for the juiciest burgers.  You can choose leaner meat if you prefer. Leaner meat isn't ideal for burgers as they are often cooked at very high temperatures. Meat with a low fat content can become dry when grilled. If you can't get freshly ground beef, choose beef with a bright pink color. Ground meat that is starting to turn gray has likely been sitting on the shelf longer. Try ground chicken or turkey if you are looking to avoid beef. You can also use pre-formed frozen burger patties. Crumble 2 lbs (32 ounces) of ground beef into a large bowl and sprinkle in about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Use your hands to mix the ground beef and take care not to overwork the meat. Gently toss the ground meat until the seasonings are just combined.  Handle the meat as little as possible. The heat from your hands can actually melt the fat of the burger resulting in a denser patty.  Vary the amount of seasoning based on your preference. Try adding some ground sage or chili powder. If you have started with frozen patties, you can season them as they cook.

TL;DR in English: Buy quality meat. Season your fresh ground beef.

If someone is bothering you and you want them to stop, there's a super simple way of handling it: tell them stuff that you have new. If someone is getting in your face with antagonizing or bullying behavior, put your hand out like a crossing guard in the "stop" motion. Take a deep breath. In a calm, even voice, say something like, "Stop! I need you to stop right now."  If telling a bully to stop doesn't get them out of your face, continue repeating the phrase. If they fail to get a rise out of you, most bullies won't be entertained enough to keep on with it. After failing enough times to provoke you, most bullies might just leave you alone.  If a bully escalates things after you tell them to stop, it's not inappropriate to tell someone, a teacher, parent, or a superior in the office. Get someone else on your side. The best way to defeat any enemy is to get them out of your life completely. Avoid enemies as much as possible to disarm them and steal their ability to offend, torment, and irritate you. If you're struggling with a bully, use your observational skills to steer clear of their haunts and spend time in other places. Don't give them the opportunity to antagonize you. If you've got to see your enemy on a regular basis, like at work or school, and you're forced to interact with them, your job will be tougher, but not impossible. The best way to avoid these enemies is to avoid listening to them. Put in earbuds when your enemy's spouting off in the school, so you won't have to listen to it, or show up right before the bell rings in class and sit on the opposite side of the classroom. It'll be like they're not even there. When your enemy confronts you, the best tactic is to turn into the ice man. Play it cool. Real cool. Don't get upset, or try to argue back when your enemy launches into their irritating, bullying behavior. Just look at them like you would an irritating swarm of ants, or your cat's puke. A minor inconvenience. Emotional reactions are like water for the plants of enemies. Withhold it and...

TL;DR in English: Tell your enemy to stop antagonizing you. Avoid your enemy as much as possible. Play it cool. Freeze out your enemy. Find safety in a group. Prank your enemy Move on.

Step into the shower and get your hair wet, or mist it with a spray bottle filled with plain water. However, if your hair is dripping wet, pat it dry with a towel or a t-shirt.   This style works the best on straight hair. You can use it if you have curly or wavy hair to help shape your strands. If you have tightly coiled or textured hair and want to try this style, it would be best to start with hair that has been blown out first. Consider doing this after you haven't washed your hair for 2 to 3 days. The oils produced by your scalp will help give you that tousled, beachy look. Drape the left section over your left shoulder, and the right section over your right shoulder. If you want tighter waves, create 4 sections by dividing your hair again along your ear-line; use a hair clip to keep them separate.   If you want even tighter waves, separate the hair into 6-8 sections. The more sections that you do, the tighter that the waves will be. It's up to you how to divide the sections, but do your best to keep them even. 1 way to section your hair is to first separate your hair down the middle and then separate each side into 3 or 4 smaller sections, starting at your forehead and working toward your nape. When creating your sections, it does not matter which side you start on.

TL;DR in English: Start with damp hair. Part your hair down the middle, from forehead to nape.

Although there’s some debate, most doctors agree that being barefoot is great for foot development. Shoes can look great and provide warmth for a non-walking child. However, once your kid is mobile, ditching the shoes is best. This allows your kid’s foot to develop naturally and build strength in growing tendons without relying on the support of shoes.   It’s great to let your kid run around barefoot, but make sure to keep an eye on the terrain. Walking on the grass may be fine, but be on the lookout for sharp objects that could hurt your unsuspecting explorer. Your child’s feet may get cold so socks are important, whether they’re sleeping or on the move.  With your kid’s feet constantly growing, you’ll want to choose a sock that fits properly without being constricting. When fitting socks, it’s a good idea to always make sure they’re at least ¼ inch longer than the big toe. Although barefoot is best, your kid will need shoes eventually. Many doctors say shoes aren’t necessary until your kid is walking outside. There are so many stylish options for kid’s shoes but comfort and health should be your top priority.  Avoid overly stiff shoes. You may think they’re more protective, but developing muscles in your child's feet need to grow and develop on their own. An overly sturdy shoe may also do the work that your child’s developing muscles should be doing, hindering their development.    Choose comfort over fashion. It may be tempting to choose a pair of stylish shoes for your new walker, but always choose proper support and fit over good looks. For an early walker, shoes with leather bottoms may be best for traction’s sake, whereas those entering into a walking/running phase may want something a little more athletic. Kids feet are always growing — sometimes as much as much as a half size every two months. You may want to buy big shoes to anticipate that next growth spurt, but shoes that are too big greatly increase the chance of stumbles and falls. Stay proactive to prevent overly tight shoes. You may think your...

The formula for calculating kinetic energy (KE) is KE = 0.5 x mv2. Here m stands for mass, the measure of how much matter is in an object, and v stands for the velocity of the object, or the rate at which the object changes its position. Your answer should always be stated in joules (J), which is the standard unit of measurement for kinetic energy. It is equivalent to 1 kg * m2/s2. If you are solving a problem where the mass isn’t given, you will have to determine the mass yourself. This can be done by weighing the object on a balance and obtaining the mass in kilograms (kg).  Tare the balance. Before you weigh your object, you must set it to zero. Zeroing out the scale is called taring.  Place your object in the balance. Gently, place the object on the balance and record its mass in kilograms. If necessary, convert grams to kilograms. For the final calculation, the mass must be in kilograms. Oftentimes, the problem will give you the velocity of the object. If this is not the case, you can determine the velocity by using the distance an object travels and how long it takes to cover that distance. The units for velocity are meters per second (m/s).  Velocity is defined by the equation, displacement divided by time: V = d/t. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is the number value that quantifies the speed, while the direction is the direction in which the speed takes place during motion. For example, an object’s velocity can be 80 m/s or -80 m/s depending on the direction of travel. To calculate velocity, simply divide the distance the object traveled by the time it took to travel that distance.

TL;DR in English: Know the formula for calculating kinetic energy. Determine the mass of an object. Calculate the velocity of the object.

Perspiring is your body’s natural way of cooling itself in a number of situations. While sweat alone is normal and indeed healthy, there may still be situations where you would prefer not to sweat, such as during a date or during an important presentation. The aluminum-based compounds in antiperspirants actually block the pores to prevent sweating.  If you feel as though you produce more sweat than your over-the-counter antiperspirant can handle, you can speak with your doctor about prescription-strength antiperspirants. Use this nightly; it may take up to a week to notice a difference. If you would prefer a natural alternative to chemical-laden antiperspirants, then try rubbing a raw potato under your arms. The starch contained in a potato can similarly block pores to reduce the amount that you sweat. Dusting your armpits with cornstarch can also help. Individuals who are obese will often sweat more because it requires more energy to move. Skin folds will also trap moisture and increase body odor with an increase in bacterial growth. Synthetic fabrics that do not allow your armpits to breathe will increase your sweat response. Natural fabrics — cotton, wool, and silk — are better at letting your skin breathe. As an exception, certain synthetic fabrics, especially those meant for exercise wear, have been developed to absorb or wick moisture from your skin. Purchase active wear made from these materials to help reduce sweat. Emotionally and physically stressful situations will increase the sweat response in your body. Learn stress-reduction techniques such as yoga, meditation, affirmations, listening to music, getting enough sleep, and eating a balanced diet. This also includes trying to disarm emotionally stressful situations in your life, such as those surrounding work or relationships. Caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, garlic, curries, and onions can all increase the amount that you sweat. Try cutting back on dishes and beverages that contain these ingredients. Women going through menopause often have...

TL;DR in English: Apply an antiperspirant. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet to maintain a normal weight. Wear breathable fabrics. Reduce stress. Avoid foods and drinks that can increase sweating. Minimize foods or situations that trigger hot flashes. See your doctor about underlying conditions that can cause excess sweating. Consult a dermatologist for medical treatments.

. Micro-expressions are honest emotional expressions that cross your face whether you realize it or not. These expressions are separated into seven universal emotions: disgust, anger, fear, sadness, happiness, contempt, and surprise. By teaching yourself to recognize these reflexive facial expressions, you can gain a better understanding of how people really feel about what you are talking about, and you can use this to your advantage when pretending to read minds. Micro-expressions happen very quickly. Even if you know what you're looking for, they can be difficult to spot. You may want to begin by finding YouTube videos online that show these expressions in slow motion to help develop your ability to see these emotions when attempting to "read" minds. Broad statements will act as the net with which you will catch micro-expressions. The subject of your "mind-reading" won't be able to help himself from responding to what you say with micro-expressions, so use whatever general information you have to make these statements in a conversational way. You might make observations about clothing, posture, accessories, or even word choice.  You may want to start off by telling your subject, "First let me ask you a few simple questions so I can harmonize my mind with yours to get a better reading." This way, you can acclimate yourself to your subject's body language while narrowing down what you know about him or her. To give yourself a little wiggle room, you may want to tell people watching that, "Reading minds is very difficult. Sometimes I pick up information from other people and get information wrong. But I assure you if you are patient, I will prove to you I can read your mind." As an example, you might notice your subject is disheveled, but otherwise well groomed, you might say, "Today's been a rough day for you. Or has it been a rough week? I sense that you've been struggling in your personal life lately. Is this true?" The micro-expressions responding to these questions and statements will help you determine...

TL;DR in English: Learn to identify micro-expressions Make broad statements. Distinguish looks of disgust. Notice and avoid anger. See the signs of fear. Spot sadness. Perceive happiness in your subject. Catch looks of contempt. Recognize surprise.

Start by fully disconnecting your Keurig from the power supply. You don’t want to risk damaging the appliance while working with water. Depending on your Keurig model, you should be able to remove the cold water reservoir, lid, drip tray and cover, the K-cup holder, and funnel. Be careful removing the K-cup holder and funnel as there is a needle nearby. Simply grasp the holder from both sides and gently wiggle until it comes free. Place the components into a sink filled with warm, soapy water. A teaspoon of dish liquid should be sufficient. Let them sit and soak while you complete the rest of your surface clean. If you haven’t cleaned your Keurig in a while, you might also scrub out the parts with a soft, clean sponge or cloth. If your reservoir has water sitting it it, go ahead and empty this out before placing it in the sink. Take this opportunity to discard any used pods sitting around as well. When you’ve finished soaking them, rinse off each part with water and allow them to air dry on a clean towel. If you are in a hurry, you can dry each piece with a lint-free towel. However, it is still best to only air dry the reservoir and lid to avoid lint sticking to those surfaces. You should now be able to see the needle that punctures your K-cups and allows for the flow of liquid. Get a large paperclip and apply pressure until the single end comes free. Slowly push this free end into the needle holes. Move the paperclip around just a bit to loosen any grime and then slowly pull it out. Take a soft-bristled toothbrush and dip it in a 50-50 vinegar and water mixture. Lightly brush any spots where you see coffee grounds present. Pay particular attention to the areas right around the needle assembly. Removing these grounds is important because they can accumulate over time and lead to clogs and stoppages. Get a soft cloth and dip it into the 50-50 water and vinegar mixture. Squeeze out the excess liquid until the cloth is damp and then brush it over the outside casing of your Keurig. Scrub firmly against any areas...

If you have a stove-top oven, you can clean the stove surface with baking soda in the same way you would the oven. Simply let baking soda and water/vinegar sit overnight and wipe down in the morning.  Remove grates if possible on a gas stove. Also note that you want to avoid allowing baking soda and water to drip down into the ignition area, so keep baking soda to a paste and apply carefully on gas stoves. Remember to wipe down the cooking surface thoroughly with a clean damp cloth once the baking soda and grime is removed, then let dry. A glass-top electric stove will smoke easily from any baking soda residue or other moisture when it is turned on.

TL;DR in English: Treat a stovetop in the same way.

The fasting plasma blood test is used to measure blood sugar levels to diagnose diabetes or pre-diabetes. A fasting plasma glucose test is normally performed in the morning, after the patient has gone approximately 12 hours without eating or drinking. Fasting is required because:  A person without diabetes produces insulin in response to increased glucose levels. After an overnight fast, the blood sugar levels would be low. A person with diabetes won’t produce insulin, leaving their glucose levels still high after an overnight fast. If you have fasted overnight, go to the testing center in the morning.  Remember to bring the form your doctor gave you that details what test should be conducted. If the laboratory takes appointments, you may want to make one to reduce the time you need to wait in line. Also, check your insurance and use a laboratory that is the primary provider for your health insurance. In order to measure the fasting plasma glucose level, you need to give a blood sample. During the blood sample:  A needle will be inserted into a vein in your arm. Blood is drawn into a test tube. Once the test is done, you can go home and the blood sample is sent to a laboratory for testing. Your test is considered normal (non-diabetic) if your glucose level is below 100 mg/dl.  A test result of 100–125 mg/dl is considered to be in the prediabetic stage and you are at a higher risk of developing diabetes. A test result of 126 mg/dl or higher is considered diabetic. If your results are positive for diabetes, your doctor will initiate a treatment plan for you to begin. You should be aware that the effectiveness of this test may be limited, including:  Falsely low plasma glucose levels may result if blood is drawn in the afternoon instead of in the morning or if too much time passes between when the blood is drawn and when the lab processes the blood sample. Results can also be affected by medical conditions, smoking, and exercise.

TL;DR in English: Fast between eight and 14 hours. Go to the laboratory for the test. Prepare for a venipuncture. Understand the results of fasting plasma glucose test. Know the limitations of fasting plasma glucose test.

Pour soft builder's sand into the pond and use a rake to spread it out. This helps to protect the pond liner from any sharp stones that may cause punctures. If you want an extra layer of protection, roll out a piece of old carpet over the layer of sand. Purchase a liner that is the right size for your pond. Get a friend to help you to install the liner, as it is much easier with more than 1 person. Place the liner in the center of the pond and roll it out across the base, up the sides, and over the edge, making sure that it is neatly pressed into all of the crevices.  Pond liners keep the water contained in the pond. These are made out of EPDM and polypropylene and are very weather resistant. Pond liners are heavy enough to remain in place and are unlikely to be moved by the wind. If you have concerns, use a few rocks or large stones to hold the liner in place. Make sure that the pond liner is rated as fish-safe if you are going to be placing fish in the pond. to help aerate the pond. Not only are water features such as fountains great for landscaping the pond, but they also help to keep fish and aquatic plants healthy. Purchase a water feature from your local gardening center or pond supply store, or build your own water fountain or waterfall into the pond. Purchase a pond filter that is the right size for your pond from a garden center or home improvement store. Follow the directions that come with the pond filter closely. Dig the filter box into the ground right next to the pond and connect it to a power outlet, before running the filter hoses into the pond.  Pond filters keep the fish healthy, the water clean, and prevent bad odors. You can place plants around the filter box to keep it hidden if you prefer. If you live in a location where the pond is likely to freeze over during winter, use a pond heater or a de-icer to prevent this from happening. This will prevent all of the water from freezing and will allow the fish to still get oxygen. Use a garden hose to fill up the pond. If you find that the pond...

Pick cuts such as chuck, brisket, and flank steaks since they are usually harder to chew than other cuts of meat. Avoid using beer on meat that’s already light or tender, such as steak fillets, since the beer could overpower the flavor. If the meat was frozen, make sure you thaw it completely before you put it in your beer brine.   Try beer brine on chicken to give the outside a more caramelized crust. You can also tenderize whole chickens or turkeys if you make enough beer brine to submerge them. Rip off a sheet of plastic cling wrap that’s large enough to go over the bowl. Press the wrap onto the rim of the bowl to seal it so it doesn’t get contaminated. If your bowl has a lid, make sure it forms a tight seal so bacteria can’t get inside. Set the beer brine and meat in your fridge so it can chill and infuse the flavors. Make sure the lid stays on securely or the plastic wrap seals the bowl completely. You can tenderize the meat in the beer brine for up to 12 hours so the juices soak into the meat and make it feel more tender.  Start your beer brine in the morning so you can tenderize your meat and have it for dinner. If you leave the meat in the brine for too long, the meat may get too soft and make it harder to cook.

TL;DR in English: Choose a tough cut of thawed meat you want to tenderize. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid to seal it. Keep the bowl in your fridge for up to 12 hours.

While it is possible that fainting spells are not related to medical conditions, it is also possible that they are a sign of a medical problem. To determine this, you will need to visit your doctor. You should see your doctor immediately if you experience fainting while exercising, if fainting occurs with rapid heartbeat, or if your family has a history of fainting. If you experience repeated fainting spells, you should consult your doctor. Your doctor will ask a number of questions to determine the cause of your fainting. These may include the situation you find yourself in when you faint, how long the episodes last, how quickly it takes you to return to normal, and any other symptoms you may experience during the episodes. The doctor may also order a number of tests to determine the cause of your fainting spells.  An electrocardiogram will be ordered if the doctor suspects a heart condition is the cause. An electroencephalogram will be ordered if the doctor suspects something in the brain is the cause. There is a chance that your doctor will not recommend any medication for your fainting spells. There is no medicine that treats fainting spells themselves, so your doctor may instead prescribe a medicine to treat the cause of the fainting spells. These may include medicine for low blood sugar, seizures, anemia, or low blood pressure. If any medications are prescribed, be sure to take them exactly as your doctor advises.

TL;DR in English: Find out if you have a medical condition. Provide the doctor with your history. Follow the doctor's advice.

The less time you've got to spend around others, the more introverted your existence will become by necessity. If you think you benefit from living a more introverted lifestyle, try to pursue interests, jobs, and hobbies that will allow you to live that way and work at your most productive. The following jobs are all good for introverts:  Computer programming Writing and editing Research scientists Court reporters Archival work or library science Extroverts are multi-takers, while introverts prefer diving into one task and seeing it through to completion. try to prioritize your time to keep focused on each thing you need to do before you move on to the next. Introverts generally dislike small talk, preferring to dig deeper and have more serious, intellectual, or hard-hitting conversations. This also applies to the type of work and creative projects introverts like to take on. Next time you're working on a project for work or school, don't be satisfied with merely doing "enough," or with doing what's expected of you. Go above and beyond. Put your own creative twist on the project, putting some extra effort into it. Introverts prefer working alone instead of working with others on group projects. If you often value the help of others, try taking on a project all by yourself next time and seeing if you can't do it without extra help. This might help increase your confidence and allow you to rely on yourself more in the future, even if it's necessary to work with others in some cases.  Get what you can from collaborations. Often, you'll have to work with others, and introverts shouldn't reject the talents and abilities of others, just because they prefer working alone. Learn to negotiate group projects without controlling them, taking the help offered and delegating separate tasks, so you can also have some alone time.  Be self-sufficient. The less you need to ask for help, the less you'll have to rely on the help of others.

TL;DR in English: Pursue a career and interests that require fewer interactions. Focus on one task at a time. Dig deeper. Take on solo responsibilities and work alone.

By far the cheapest way to get to Disney World is to drive. Although  this might not be a feasible option if you live on the West Coast. if you live in the South or on the East Coast you should definitely try to make a road-trip to the theme park. Driving will save you several hundred dollars on airfare - especially if more than two people are traveling with you. Plus, once you get to the parks you’ll be able to use your own car as transportation, rather than having to hire a shuttle to drive you around everywhere. Calculate the number of hours you’ll have to drive, and split that up into the number of days it would take to get to Disney World.  Because driving can conceivably take 2-3 days, you’ll want to try to stay at budget hotels or campsites along the way. If you’re bringing a large family, prepare for the road trip by coming up with games and activities to do along the way. If you’re not able or willing to drive to Disneyland, you’ll have to fly there instead. It is unlikely you’ll be able to find a cheap Disney World package that includes hotel rooms for a decent rate, but you can get around this by booking a different hotel combined with your airfare. Many websites will significantly discount the combined cost of your flights and hotel rooms if you book them at the same time. Therefore, do a bit of research on hotels in the area, and see if you can combine them with your airfare at purchase.  Some search engines will allow you to ‘name a price’ for a hotel+flight, and present you with what’s available. Keep in mind that whenever possible, go for the cheapest hotel and airfare on the market. There are many tricks to the trade when it comes to booking flights, and among the most beneficial is simply knowing the right time to book. Flying to a destination is always the least expensive from Monday through Thursday, and especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Air carriers typically have deals on flights on Tuesday afternoons, so plan on purchasing your flight on a Tuesday after 2:00PM. Additionally, you’ll...

TL;DR in English: Drive, if you’re able. Book your airfare and hotel together. Know when you book your airfare. Travel during non-peak seasons.

The eyeshadow primer will help the eyeshadow stick on better. It will also help make the colors stand out better, a must for those who'd like a bolder look. This counteracts the effect of nearsighted glasses, especially at the corner of your eye. If you'd like a neutral look, choose a creamy color that is a few shades lighter than your skin tone. If you'd like something bolder and more colorful, choose a color that matches the lightest tone on your face. In general, people with glasses should avoid vibrant eyeshadow colors.  Most makeup artists agree that the thinner and more delicate frames you have, the softer and more natural your eyeshadow should be. Use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to apply this all over your eye, from lash line to eyebrow. Keep it to a light touch, since your glasses will already draw attention to your eyes. This is especially important if you are far-sighted, as reading glasses magnify the eyes. If you have thick, chunky frames, such as tortoise shell frames, consider going darker and bolder. One approach is to use a light color as your base over the entire lid, then a darker color just on your upper lids. If you'd like a more natural look, choose a brown that is a few shades darker than your skin tone. If you are going bold and colorful, choose a color that is a few shades darker than the base color. Apply the darker color from the lash line to the crease using an angled brush. Blend it in upwards, just past the crease, towards your brow bone.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that all pregnant women get certain tests on their first prenatal visit to make sure that you and your baby are doing well. These tests are minimally invasive and will help you get a healthy start to your pregnancy. Ask your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about these tests:  Blood type and Rh type and antibody test Complete blood count Urinalysis and urine culture Rubella immunity test Varicella immunity test Pap smear (if due) HIV antibody screening Syphilis screening Hepatitis B test Gonorrhea and chlamydia test In general, there are two different types of prenatal tests: screening tests and diagnostic tests. Screenings tests can help you identify whether your baby is more or less likely to have certain birth defects and genetic disorders. If a screening test indicates a possible problem or your age, background or medical history puts you at an increased risk, your doctor may recommend a diagnostic test to make a more definitive diagnosis.  Typically, screening tests are less invasive than diagnostic tests. Examples of screenings tests include blood tests, most ultrasounds, and prenatal cell-free DNA screening. Most screening tests are offered during the first or second trimester.   Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis are examples of diagnostic tests. Both will help you be sure of a diagnosis, but also carry a slight risk of miscarriage. Some prenatal tests are routine and are offered to nearly all pregnant people. These include blood pressure checks, urine tests, and blood tests. All are generally considered to be quite safe and can help monitor your own health, as well as the health of your baby.   During a blood pressure check, your provider will measure your blood pressure levels to make sure you don’t have preeclampsia. Your doctor will be able to diagnose preeclampsia if you have high blood pressure and signs of damage in other organs after your 20th week of pregnancy. Although preeclampsia is a serious...

TL;DR in English: Learn the tests recommended for your first prenatal visit. Determine whether the test is for screening or diagnostic purposes. Familiarize yourself with regular blood pressure, urine, and blood tests. Get an ultrasound to monitor fetal growth with little to no risk. Ask for a first trimester screening to test for birth defects. Undergo a quad screen blood test to detect certain conditions. Opt for prenatal cell-free DNA screening to identify genetic abnormalities. Consider amniocentesis for a more definitive diagnosis. Discuss chorionic villus sampling (CVS) after an abnormal screening. Test for gestational diabetes at week 26 or when recommended. Check for Group B streptococcus to avoid infecting your newborn.

Choose a large, scalloped shell, starfish, or sand dollar as your focal point. Glue it down in the center of the crown with hot glue or industrial strength glue. Pick out your pointy shells, and glue then along the edges of your crown. Make sure that the opening of the shell is facing the tiara's band; this way, the hole won't be visible in the end. For a more interesting effect, glue the taller shells towards the center of the tiara, and the shorter ones towards the ends.  You can add as many spikes as you want. You can have them go from the focal point all the way to the combs, or you can have just a few on each side. For a more interesting look, alternate between turret and conch shells. At this point, the base of your crown is done. You can make it look more interesting by adding more layers. For example, you could glue some clam or snail shells along the base of your crown. A smaller clam shell to either side of your focal point would also look pretty. If you used a sand dollar as your focal point, consider gluing down a tiny starfish in the middle. You may have some gaps between your shells, especially along the bottom. You can fill these in with small items, such as glass beads, pearl beads, or tiny rhinestones. Bits of sea glass would also look pretty. Your crown is essentially done at this point, but if it feels like it's missing something, consider adding some rhinestones. Use super glue to attach tiny rhinestones to the shells. You can put the rhinestones around the edges of the shells or down the ridges. If you used a starfish, you could add rhinestones down the middle of each arm.

TL;DR in English: Glue down the focal shell. Add some spikes along the sides. Create more layers. Fill in the gaps with fillers, if desired. Finish off with the details.

Place your mat on a flat, smooth surface. Make sure that you set up in a quiet place, and in an area with enough space for movement. If you do not have a Pilates mat, try doing the exercise on a carpeted area or use a towel.  Use a thicker mat if you have a sensitive back. Try to find a well lit space with natural light.  Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement. Shoes and socks are not needed. Push your chin into your chest, ensuring your neck remains long. Press your back flat against the floor. Make sure it is not in a neutral position. A neutral back position allows you to maintain the natural curve of your spine while lying down. The flat position you want to achieve with your back is called an imprinted spinal position. Do not use too much force while keeping your shoulders pressed down. Pull them away from your ears, and allow your arms to rest next to your body. Place your hands palm-down on the mat, fingertips stretched towards the bottom of the mat. Raise your legs upwards until they are vertically above your hips, forming a 90 degree angle with your body. Keep your upper thighs and knees together. Point your toes towards the ceiling.

TL;DR in English: Set up your mat. Lie down on your back on your Pilates mat. Relax your shoulders. Extend your legs straight in front of you.

On December 28th, also known as Holy Innocents’ Day, many people play jokes on others. It’s equivalent to April Fools Day in the United States. On top of playing pranks on one another, many cities have their own special festivals.  Visit Jalance for the Fiesta de los Locos, or Crazy People’s Dance. Ibi holds a Flour Battle, or Els Enfarinats Festival throughout the day. Celebrated on January 5th, towns across the country hold parties and parades to commemorate the arrival of the Three Kings the following day. Spend the night in Madrid or Barcelona to see parades with massive floats. Children expect larger gifts from the Three Kings overnight, so they often leave their shoes on windowsills or balconies to be filled with presents. Children wake up on January 6th and open the presents that the Three Kings brought them. Exchange gifts throughout the day. Afterward, have a large feast to celebrate. Enjoy a Roscón de Reyes, a ring-shaped fruit cake with a figurine baked inside. Whoever finds the figurine becomes the king of the day!

TL;DR in English: Play pranks on one another on Dia de Los Santos Inocentes. Go to a parade on the eve of Epiphany. Give large gifts to one another on Three Kings’ Day.

You can add solid objects to the soaps if you want to give them extra flair. This is a great way to personalize soaps to make favors for baby showers or kids' birthday parties, or to match your bathroom décor. Consider the following options:  Make floral soaps by suspending dried flower petals in the liquid glycerin before you pour it into the molds. Make birthday party soaps by filling the molds halfway and then inserting a small toy, like a tiny plastic animal or other gadget, in the center of the soap. Pour more liquid soap over the toy to cover it completely. Make baby shower soaps by pouring soap into the molds and then inserting small plastic rattles or other baby items into the soap. If you can't find a mold you like at the craft store, try making your own. Any hard plastic item can serve as a mold. If you use an item that's usually used to make food, be sure to wash it carefully before you use it again.  Ice cube trays make excellent soap molds. Use simple square trays or buy trays with interesting shapes, like fish, shells or skulls. To make larger soaps, use small plastic bowls or cups.

Where do you want to base your operations? These decisions will impact everything from which licenses you apply for to how much startup money you will need. Think about why you will succeed. Is your local music venue not successful at advertising? Do you notice that a sports team regularly sells out their games? You should find a market you can compete in that is also profitable. Once you have decided which tickets you would like to sell, you need to check into which licenses you will need. States have different laws concerning the regulation of ticket brokering.

Unless you have a lot of money tucked away, you will need money to start a ticket reselling business. First, it costs several thousand dollars just to apply for license. Second, you will need to have the capital to buy tickets, even though the return is relatively fast.  Banks and credit unions are a good place to check into loans for starting businesses. See this guide for ways to find out your credit score and optimize it. You can also try to find investors in your area. Local businesses may be interested in low-cost investments or the perks that come with having ties to a ticket broker. If you keep it small and personal, you may be able to keep lawyers and accountants out of it. See this for more tips on starting a small business. You should know by now where you want to list your business address, and which venues you want to sell tickets to. This varies state by state, so a simple web search will tell you where to fill out and submit the application. You will need to have a good amount of cash for any fees and bonds.  To give you an idea, the application fee for New York is $5,000. It will vary by...

TL;DR in English: Envision your future business. Check with local laws. Raise capital if necessary. Apply for a ticket reseller's license. Look into joining the National Association of Ticket Brokers.

Meditating can reduce stress and anxiety. You typically have up to 80,000 thoughts flow through your mind daily. Depending on your stress level, or your personal behavioral and characteristic make-up, you could have much more than that. When you meditate, you can learn how to master your own internal dialogue by eliminating what is not important, and putting more energy and focus into organizing what is needed and important. That frees your mind up to focus on the thoughts that are really important. Meditation also gives your mind a break from the constant stimuli that fills our society. You only need to meditate for 15-20 minutes per day to see benefits. You can choose to meditate at any time of day, but most people tend to do a meditation first thing in the morning or right before bed. Try different times and see what works for you. . Develop a habit of incorporating positive affirmations into your daily life. Affirmations are positive words or statements that when incorporated into a daily meditative practice can help you to reprogram your internal dialogue. When you reframe your thoughts in this way, your mind becomes a more constructive mental environment and this allows you to focus on what is important to you rather than what is not important. Exercising releases endorphins, which elevate your mood. It also reduces the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This dual effect means that exercise primes your brain for positivity and focus. These are the prerequisites to having logically organized thoughts. Even if you don’t enjoy the gym, you could still benefit greatly from a regular walk or run. As long as you get out and exercise, you’ll start to feel your mind handling things more effectively. Having someone to bounce your ideas off of is crucial. Even just speaking to another person can help you to see any fallacies in your logic and improve your thought process. The other person can also offer you feedback and help you to see any unorganized or unclear thought patterns. For example, say you have a...

TL;DR in English: Meditate. Release negativity Go exercise. Talk to someone. Break information into chunks. Declutter your home and/or office.

Each airline has different physical requirements tailored to the dimensions of their planes. Airlines want to make sure that flight attendants are tall enough to reach the overhead bins, but not so tall that their head hits the ceiling of the plane. Airlines also require that flight attendants be able to sit in a seat and buckle the seat belt comfortably.  The height range for most airlines is between 5’0” - 5’ 1” and 5’8” - 6’3”. Some airlines do not have height requirements, but instead require that you be able to reach a certain height. The minimum age requirement ranges between 18-21 years old depending on the airline. There is no maximum age as long as you pass all medical requirements There is no numerical weight requirement, but many airlines do a visual assessment, looking at weight in proportion to height. In the 1960s, flight attendants were required to be females of a certain weight, and to retire before they reached a certain age. Some airlines continued these discriminatory practices through the 1980s and 1990s. Now men can be flight attendants, there is no numerical weight requirement, and people may continue working as flight attendants until they’re ready to retire. Airlines won’t hire people who don’t have their GED, but no higher education is required. That said, airlines do look favorably upon people who have a college degree or even a few years of college under their belt. It shows that you’re ambitious and able to handle a challenge. Some companies offer “flight training programs,” but this is not a requirement before applying to airlines. You’ll receive training if you’re hired as a flight attendant. The primary role of a flight attendant is to provide excellent customer service, so it really helps if you’ve worked in a similar role before. There are many types of jobs that count as customer service experience: answering phones for a company, working in retail, or working at the front desk of a small business all require interacting with and helping the public. This isn’t a mandatory...

TL;DR in English: Meet the physical requirements. Have your GED. Have some customer service experience.

Lacquer is a very durable finish that is applied with a spray gun. It is a very high performance finish, drying quickly to a hard, with a durable finish. It is not easy to apply as an amateur, and is not forgiving of mistakes made during application. A spray gun can be purchased for $50-$100, and is necessary if you plan to use lacquer. Maintain a ventilated area and don't spray lacquer near any sparks. Make sure to take the proper safety precautions when spraying lacquer. Lacquer is highly toxic when inhaled, so make sure to maintain a well-ventilated area and wear a respirator. Lacquer should only be applied in very thin coats with your spray gun. Pull the trigger as you get close to the piece, move the gun over the surface, overlapping the previous spray path by about 50%, and release the trigger just after moving beyond the edge. Move the spray gun back and forth over the surface quickly until the entire surface is coated. Keep the gun moving so that you never allow a buildup of lacquer in one specific spot on the wood. This will help you avoid drips and the "orange peel" effect. Wait for the lacquer to dry completely before applying additional coats. Once the surface is dry, which can take around 30 minutes, apply the next coat in the same fashion, making sure that the gun keeps moving and coats the surface evenly. Once you have several coats applied, the surface will be sealed and smooth to the touch.

Many people suffer from dehydration and don’t even know it. Foot cramps are one common symptom, but there are others. Learn to recognize the symptoms so that you can nip dehydration in the bud. Some common symptoms include:  Little or no urine, urine that is dark in color Fatigue Severe thirst Dry mouth Headache Dizziness There’s no universal answer for how much water a person should drink each day. The amount you need depends on your weight, age, diet, and activity level. Though it’s possible to drink too much water, it’s fairly difficult. Err on the side of drinking a little too much, rather than not enough.  A good rule of thumb is to drink six to eight 8oz glasses of water per day. Drink more than that if you are physically active, live in a hot climate, consume excess sodium, or are pregnant or nursing. When tracking your water intake, beverages such as soda, juice, coffee or tea can be counted. However, these drinks may contain sugar or caffeine, and so plain water is a better source for pure hydration. Don’t try to drink all of your recommended water right at breakfast. Instead, sip it throughout the day. Carry a refillable water bottle so that you always have water when you need it.  Know how much water your bottle holds. That will help you keep track of how much water you drink during the day. If you don’t like the taste of water, you can add sprigs of fresh mint, or cut up fresh ginger, citrus fruit, or mint and let them infuse your water with a subtle flavor. Some foods can dehydrate you, but some can actually help you stay hydrated. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be excellent sources of water.  Processed foods often contain excess sodium, which can dehydrate you. If you’re trying to stay hydrated, avoid these. Leafy greens, melons, cucumbers, and apples are great hydrating foods. If you’ve already become dehydrated it may take a little while for your body to return to a state of hydration. Track any symptoms you might have had and see if they improve. If they do, keep doing what you’re doing....

TL;DR in English: Check for symptoms of dehydration. Determine how much water you need. Drink water throughout the day. Eat appropriately to stay hydrated. Continue to look for dehydration symptoms.

If your rates for international calls are sky high, consider alternatives to phone calls. If you have a computer and access to wi-fi, you can use websites like Skype and Google Hangouts to contact others through video chatting. This is a free alternative to making a potentially pricey phone call. If you dislike video chatting, Skype can also be used for phone calls. You can sign up for Skype's international calling service to make phone calls using the application. While it does cost money to make international calls using Skype, it's generally only a few cents a minute and, depending on your cell phone provider, may be much cheaper than calling with your phone. Many social media websites have instant messaging options. For example, you can talk to someone abroad via Facebook to save money on phone calls. Many e-mail providers, such as Gmail, have instant messaging options as well. Apps like WhatsApp allow you to send international text messages for free.

TL;DR in English: Try video call options. Make cheap phone calls using Skype. Make use of instant messaging.

Exercising may increase a hormone in your blood, irisin, that gets white fat in your body to act more like brown fat. This “beige” or “brite” fat – white fat acting like brown fat – may not be as beneficial as actual brown fat, but may help with weight loss. Get your heart beating fast by jogging, swimming, walking briskly, dancing, or playing a sport. Try to get 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day, or at least 5 days per week. Exercise in light clothing in a cool environment to boost your brown fat activity. This gives you the benefits of exercise and of keeping your body cool. Don’t turn the heat up to increase how much you sweat. Being warmer will inhibit your brown fat. Melatonin is a chemical released in your brain more when you’re in darkness, which is why it’s related to sleep. Set a regular sleep schedule for yourself so that you get 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Poor sleep is linked to weight gain, and getting adequate sleep may stimulate brown fat activity.  Melatonin supplements are sold in pharmacies and drug stores. Discuss the use of melatonin supplements with your doctor prior to using them. Create healthy sleep habits such as sleeping in a cool, dark room and going to bed at the same time each night.

TL;DR in English: Exercise regularly. Work out in a cool environment. Sleep at least 8 hours nightly.

Put your shoes in the microwave on high for no longer than 30 seconds. The heat from the microwave will make the fabric more malleable to your feet.  Make sure there are no metal pieces in the shoes before putting them in the microwave. Make sure the eyelets in your shoes aren’t metal, too.  Take the shoes out of the microwave and put them on right away while the material is still warm. Walk around with them on for a minute.  After a minute, they’ll start to cool down, so take them off and put them in the microwave again for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, wear your shoes again, and they should be widened enough. The heat from the hair dryer will soften the fabric for stretching. While wearing thick socks, put your shoes on and aim a hair dryer at them for 20-30 seconds.  Keep the hair dryer a few inches from your feet so as not to burn yourself.  Try the shoes on without the thick socks to test their fit. They should be looser. Steam will relax the shoe fibers and make them more malleable to the shape of your feet. Boil a kettle of water and hold your shoes over the steam for 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn yourself. Try the shoes on and flex your feet around in them until the fabric has been stretched wide enough to accommodate your foot.

TL;DR in English: Microwave canvas shoes for a quick way to stretch them. Use a hair dryer on the shoes while wearing socks. Use steam to soften canvas shoes for stretching.

We all use words to express ourselves and meet our needs, speaking about 15,000 words out loud a day. A mantra is a sound, syllable, word or phrase that you may use for multiples reasons. Some use mantras to maintain focus during mediation, allow meanings to reach their subconscious, have a spiritual experience, achieve a goal or help change themselves for the better. You will want to start out in a place with few distractions. A bedroom where you can shut the door and windows works fine. Minimize distractions, such as phone calls, notifications and television by shutting electronic devices off so you can focus on your mantra.  You can add incense or candles to your meditation spot to help you get into the mood and focus. Set aside time every day to practice your mantra. You will want at least 30 minutes of uninterrupted time for this. Intentions are the thoughts and emotional drives that initiate every action we take. Whether we decide to go to the store, wave to a friend, say a word or go to work, it all starts with an intention. Think about the reason you want to perform a mantra—for peace, health, success or a spiritual connection? Determine the purpose for your mantra session and focus on that. Most people choose a sitting position but you can adopt whatever position you find comfortable. If you are flexible and used to the position, you may want to use the lotus position. Since your comfort level will determine your ability to relax and focus on your mantra, don’t force yourself to take on a pose that will be distracting or uncomfortable.  It is important to keep your back naturally straight but not rigid. Do not slouch. Many people choose a cross-legged meditation position. If this is a difficult position to maintain, you can make it easier with your back against a wall or use a rolled blanket or towel  under your ankles. Sitting upright in a chair is another option. To do this, keep your feet directly under your knees, press your thighs against the chair and make sure your feet have good contact with...
