You may want to keep ducks as pets, for meat, for egg production or as an organic way of controlling pests in the garden. There are four main types of duck: domestic, dabbling, diving and sea ducks. Domestic ducks are the type most people choose for their needs. All breeds of domestic duck are descended from the common Mallard duck except the Muscovy duck. Non-domestic ducks, or “Wildfowl”, spend a long time on the water and will need their wings pinioned when they are very young or else they will fly off. They require a large pond or lake and are unlikely to tame. All of these breeds are visually appealing and make good pets.  Call ducks are named for the noises they make so be careful of getting a call duck if you do not want to upset your neighbors. They are small and gray or white, and many people choose them for their smallness of size but they are good fliers and will need their wings clipped every so often. Cayuga ducks have beautiful iridescent green plumage and are very quiet, but can be hard to find. Pekin ducks are large and white and one of the most popular breeds of ducks. They are calm and have a relaxed temperament. Rouen ducks have the same coloring as mallard ducks (green neck and head and iridescent areas on the body) and are very calm and sociable. Muscovy ducks are very quiet and have been bred in many different colors. They are descendants of tree birds and thus might need their wings clipped periodically to keep them from flying away. You will want to choose a breed that matures quickly, produces tasty meat and are heavier. Many people prefer ducks with a white plumage because it is easier to get a clean looking carcass.  Pekin ducks are one of the most popular ducks for meat production because they are ready to butcher at 7 weeks, high meat-yielding and have a white plumage. At 7 weeks you can expect a 6lb bird, they are much bigger at 12 weeks (9lbs) but the feather become very hard to remove. They also lay a decent number of eggs in the year (varies according to location- in the UK...

TL;DR in English: Decide why you want to breed ducks. Consider call, cayuga, pekin, rouen or muscovy ducks if you want a pet. Consider Pekin, Muscovy, Rouen or Aylesbury ducks for meat production. Consider Khaki Campbell or Indian Runner ducks for egg production. Consider Indian Runner, Khaki Campbell, or call ducks to biologically control pests. Make sure your ducks can access water. Feed ducks appropriately. Lock up ducks at night. Keep ducks enclosed in the garden.

You can write out the entire sermon or simply settle for an outlined version, but either way, you should prepare a written plan that you can use when you're actually preaching.  Having a prepared text will usually keep you more centered when you actually start preaching. Unless you're remarkably fluent in the subject matter, impromptu preaching tends to be more disorganized and less insightful. You can write the entire sermon word-for-word, use shortened notes, or use an outline. Outlines are generally preferred since they make it easier to look out into the congregation as you preach and limit the temptation to stare at your notes the entire time. Some passages may seem self-explanatory, but oftentimes, those passages make more sense within a broader context. Include any scriptural or historical information needed to really bring the text into focus.  Think back to the research you did while trying to understand the passage. Information that granted you new understanding should be included in your sermon.   Don't get too carried away, of course. You still need to focus your sermon on the Word itself. Supporting details should be used to increase the listener's understanding of the passage and should not steal the show. You need to illustrate how the text applies to real life in the contemporary world. Give your listeners information they feel can be useful to them as they navigate through the trials and temptations of the everyday.  Start with the end in mind. As you organize your sermon, think about what your listeners need to learn from it and structure the flow of the sermon so that it builds up to that. Directly relate the message to some real-life scenario, and try to choose a fairly common scenario that will appeal to as many different people as possible. By illustrating one possible application of the message, you can help your listeners understand how to apply the message to their own lives.  In applying the message, you should also end up challenging the listener. Your sermon should give your...

TL;DR in English: Prepare the text of your sermon beforehand. Offer context. Apply the message. Practice.

Letting people know your boundaries and feelings while at the same time allowing them space to talk, discuss, and open up about their feelings is important. Ask follow-up questions during conversations and use affirmations such as nodding, gestures, and agreements.  Look directly at the person who is speaking. You needn't stare at him or her, but you should try to maintain eye contact for about 70% of the time you are listening. This helps communicate to the speaker that you're interested and paying attention.  It can be easy to slip into thinking about what we will say in response to someone else's statement before the other person's even done talking. For example, if a friend is telling you about her awful day, you might begin to think about how you will tell her about your terrible day while she is still talking. Doing so means you are not focusing on the other person. If you're having a hard time concentrating on what the other person is saying to you, try mentally repeating or summarizing what they're saying to you. This will force you to pay more attention. When it is your turn to speak, try asking questions or using phrases to clarify what you heard. For example, if you have been listening to your partner explain something you did that frustrated him or her, you should clarify what you heard: "What I heard you say is _____. Is that right?" This helps keep you from jumping to conclusions or misinterpreting. and modest. Assertiveness and humility make a fine combination. An assertive person doesn't need to shout "Me, me, me, look what I did!" from the rooftops. It is perfectly healthy to accept praise for a job well done or remind others that you made a contribution, as long as this doesn’t become boastful or focused on belittling others to prop yourself up.  Showing humility doesn't mean that you are being weak or demeaning yourself. Celebrate your successes and congratulate yourself when you have done something well. Just don't put down others to lift yourself up.  For example, if someone tells you...

TL;DR in English: Be an active listener. Be humble Use “I” statements. Avoid using “should” or “ought. Use an even, relaxed tone of voice. Invite others to share their thoughts and experiences. Avoid blaming others. Distinguish between fact and opinion. Be willing to explore options. Make statements clearly and sincerely. Use assertive body language.

Bikini-area hair tends to be a little coarser than other body hair, so it might be difficult to take it off with the type of razor that comes 10 to a pack. Instead, pick out a high-quality razor designed for use on sensitive skin. Use a razor with new, sharp blades, since using a dull razor can cause chafing and ingrown hairs.  A men's razor is better to shave your bikini area. They are usually sturdier and have more than one blade, unlike women's razors. They remove hair easily while taking good care of sensitive skin. (You can usually distinguish the two types by color. Men's razors are usually white. Women's razors are usually pink or pastel-colored.) Avoid using a razor that has just one blade, unless it is a very sharp safety razor. Razors with just one blade have a tough time removing hair in the bikini area. Look for one with three or four blades so you will get a closer cut. A brand-new razor that has never been used before will be sharper than a used one. If you have to use a lower quality disposable razor, using a brand new one every time you shave the bikini line will yield best results. You can always use the used razor for armpits and legs. The type of cream or soap you use does not really matter, as long as you use something. Pick your preference: body wash, shaving cream, or even hair conditioner all work equally well. Soaps and creams that contain fragrances can sometimes be irritating to sensitive skin.  Test the product on another, less sensitive part of your body before you use it in your bikini area. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and determine where you want the cutoff to be. The bikini line is a little different on every woman, but in most cases you will remove any hair that would be exposed if you were wearing bikini bottoms. That includes hair on your upper thighs, around the groin and below the belly button.  For a simple shaving guideline, bring a pair of your underwear into the shower. Wear them while shaving. Anything peeking up below the seams should be removed. (Note: this...

TL;DR in English: Use a sharp razor. Choose soap or shaving cream. Decide how much hair to remove. Trim the hair to 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm). Take a nice hot shower or bath.

For many people, migraines and the subsequent symptoms—including nausea—are triggered by sources that they can control or reduce their exposure to. Keep track of what you were doing shortly before your migraine came on over the course of several attacks, and see if you can find a consistent trigger. Common ones include:  Emotional or physical fatigue due to stress or exertion Abrupt changes in weather Altitude Motion such as from travel Poor sleep Missing meals Certain smells Hormonal changes, such as in menstruating women Specific foods and beverages, including aged cheese, chocolate, red wines, coffee, beer, etc. (also, certain food additives such as monosodium glutamate and nitrates) Your doctor will be able to provide prescriptions to a wide selection of different medications that have shown efficacy in managing nausea and other migraine symptoms. These medications often require trial and error to discover which combination works best to control your symptoms.  If you are vomiting at least three times a day, you need to see your doctor. Vomiting too much will predispose you to fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Be sure to see your doctor if you develop a worsening headache. A bleeding blood vessel might be causing the problem. Visit your doctor if your migraine headache is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, seizures, double vision, numbness, difficulty in speaking, and other unusual manifestations. Triptans are some of the most common prescription drugs used to treat migraines. They constrict blood vessels and block pain pathways to your brain to alleviate various symptoms of migraines. They are available in various forms—such as pills, nasal sprays, and injections—and the medications include:  Sumatriptan (Imitrex) Rizatriptan (Maxalt) Almotriptan (Axert) Naratriptan (Amerge) Zolmitriptan (Zomig) Frovatriptan (Frova) Eletriptan (Relpax) To deal directly with the nausea from your migraines, you can also ask your doctor about anti-nausea medications. He or she will likely prescribe one in combination with a...

Assemble your glass pieces into their final design position. Leave a very thin gap (about 1⁄16 inch (1.6 mm)) between the pieces so the solder will be able to flow into the seam. You can assemble the glass on any hard, heat-resistant surface, but metal work tables are best. This will melt to form the bond between the two pieces of glass. Since most solder contains lead, it's best to wear gloves to prevent accidental poisoning. This can be reversed if you are left-handed. Choose whichever is more comfortable for you. Be very careful picking up the soldering iron--the tip can easily cause serious burns. It might be tempting to lie the solder down on the seams between two pieces of glass and use the iron directly on them, but don't do it. Keep the solder at least 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) above the foil.The best results are achieved by letting the melted solder drop into the seam between the pieces of glass. It will immediately begin to melt the solder and the solder will drop into the seam. Be very careful--the soldering iron is extremely hot.  Don't worry if solder falls onto the glass. It won't stick. If your solder beads up too much, simply run the tip of the soldering iron through it gently. Keep your hands in the same position--one holding the solder, the other holding the soldering iron up to it. Move your hands along the seams of the glass while the solder drips down onto it. Move quickly enough so that the melted solder does not bunch up in one area, but slow enough so that the entire seam gets coated with the bead of solder. You should see a continuous line of solder along the intersection of the two pieces of glass. The glass is now strongly and permanently bonded together. Solder the rest of the glass, moving in the same direction to prevent dripping. It's okay if it's not perfectly even the first time. The more times you practice this process, the more comfortable you will feel and the cleaner your soldering lines will look.

TL;DR in English: Position your glass pieces for soldering. Unroll about 4 inches (100 mm) of solder from the coil. Hold the coil of solder in your left hand and the soldering iron in your right hand. Place the tip of the unrolled solder above the copper foil. Touch the tip of the soldering iron to the tip of the unrolled solder. Move both hands along the seam. Remove the tip of the soldering iron when you reach the end of the seam. Repeat until all the glass is soldered.

Look through the viewfinder and focus on your intended subject. If you are taking a photo of a person, have the person hold the meter up to his or her chin. This pulls the light reading from the exact spot you want in correct exposure. The sensor is the white dome-shaped area of the meter. It is often on a swiveling or rotating head. Point it straight at the lens of the camera for the best results. This will measure the amount of light falling on the subject. If you're using your flash to capture your subject, and you've set your light meter to flash mode, you'll need to hit the measure button while the camera is flashing. The meter will evaluate the degree of light from the flash and determine the correct aperture and shutter speed for the subject. After hitting the measure button, most light meters will allow you to then scroll through the combinations of shutter speeds and apertures that are appropriate for the amount of light measured. The meter supplied you with aperture and shutter speed readings for correct exposure of the photograph based on the light at the location of the subject. Go to the settings in your camera and input the numbers provided by your light meter into your camera. Adjust the numbers from the light meter to achieve alternative image results. Input a higher aperture (a lower f-stop number) for an image that reveals more light. A lower aperture (a higher f number) will darken the image. You can also alter the shutter speed, which allows more light in with a slower speed and increases potential blurring of any moving things in the scene.

TL;DR in English: Hold the camera up to your eye. Place the light meter out in front of you or have a friend hold it at the distance of the subject of the photo. Aim the sensor of the light meter at the camera. Press the measure button on the light sensor. Fire the flash on the camera. Find the camera settings that the light meter reads out. Select the appropriate settings on the camera.

If you're making soft pretzels, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. For hard pretzels, you need only heat it to 350 degrees. Mix the 8 cups of water and the baking soda in a shallow pan. Bring the water to a boil and then turn the heat off. Soft pretzels should be placed in the oven for about 12 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Hard pretzels are cooked for 50 minutes at a lower temperature. Check on them every 15 minutes to make sure they aren't burning. Place them on a cooling rack or a clean plate. Let them cool for about 10 minutes or until they're no longer piping hot to the touch. Serve with mustard or cheese sauce, or enjoy plain.

TL;DR in English: Heat the oven. Prepare the water bath. Bake the pretzels. Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool.

If you've just given birth to a new child, you've likely got your hands full. But if you want to make custom cards, including a nice highlight like a copy of the baby's footprint, or a recent photograph would be a welcome and exciting gift for your friends and loved ones. Think of someone you know, or might not even know well, who's seemed down lately. Sending a card out of the blue can make someone's day more than an expensive gift or another token of affection. Making a card for someone who needs it is always a great idea.

Think about what you want to sing about. Choose your style. Create lyrics that rhyme most of the time.

How you breathe has a direct effect on the way your voice is projected. Taking shallow breaths uses only the air in your lungs, which causes you to run out of air quicker than you want. This makes the muscles in your throat tense up, which puts strain on your voice and prevents it from carrying to your audience. Instead, you should be taking deep breaths using your diaphragm. In order to breathe for projection, you need to be standing totally erect, without slouching in order to let the most air in as you breathe. The only thing that should be moving is your stomach as you inhale and exhale. If your shoulders and chest rise when you inhale, you are breathing using only your lungs, which prevents proper projection. As you inhale, place your hand on your belly, feel it expand. You want to make sure your chest doesn't move as you inhale, this indicates that you're not breathing with your diaphragm. You should feel as though your entire abdominal cavity is filling up with air as you inhale. Taking deep breaths requires proper use of your diaphragm. To project your speaking voice, you're going to need to be able to breathe deeper and take more breaths. There are several ways to practice breathing skills.  Yawn to open your chest and larynx. Big yawns help us open up our chest to facilitate a deep breath. Stretch your torso while you do it, and make big vowel sounds as you expel the breath to practice projecting as you speak. Laugh. There's a reason a good laugh is referred to as a “gut buster.” Laughing is a function performed by diaphragm, and is a fun way to practice the deep breaths necessary to project your voice. Laugh heartily, using big open vowel sounds as you expel your breath. Alternatively, laugh with your mouth closed. This makes it harder to use only the breath in your chest so you learn to utilize the diaphragm instead. Count or say whole sentences in a single breath. The higher the number you reach or the longer the sentence, the more you will need to use your diaphragm to support it. Being in shape...

TL;DR in English: Avoid shallow breaths. Keep good breathing posture. Breathe from your belly. Learn different breathing techniques. Exercise regularly.

Vinegar is a mild way you can cleanse your scalp. Start by washing your hair like usual. After you have rinsed out the shampoo, pour a vinegar and water solution onto your scalp. Let the vinegar stay on your scalp for about five minutes. Rinse with cold water. To make the solution, mix one part vinegar with two parts water. Apple cider vinegar can help improve the health of your scalp. It can kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi that lead to dry scalp and dandruff. It can also help remove buildup and cleanse your scalp. Mix ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water. Place it into a spray bottle and spray the mixture over your hair and scalp. Then, massage the mixture into your scalp and leave for three to five minutes. Rinse with warm water and then shampoo as normal. Witch hazel is an astringent that can help remove buildup and residue on your scalp. You can soak a cotton ball in witch hazel and wipe it around your scalp, or you can make a witch hazel rinse with one part witch hazel and two parts water. Leave the rinse on for a few minutes, and then shampoo your hair. When choosing a witch hazel brand, choose one that is alcohol-free. If you have a lot of buildup on your scalp, you may need something a bit stronger. Mix castile soap with a tablespoon of baking soda. Take this mixture and massage it on your scalp. Let it sit for around five minutes. Rinse the mixture with warm water, and follow that with a cold water rinse.

TL;DR in English: Use vinegar. Try apple cider vinegar. Consider witch hazel. Make a castile soap and baking soda mixture.

Don't wear any type of balm or cosmetics on your lips. Either brush your teeth first or gargle with mouthwash before you play your bassoon. Otherwise, food and bacteria residue can build up on your reeds and affect how they play. Keep your instrument at a 45 degree angle across your body. Holding it straight up can interfere with fingering and playing the lower register. Embouchure refers to the placement of your mouth, lips and tongue when playing an instrument. Place the reed in your mouth. Cover your teeth with your lips, keeping your lips relaxed. Don't bite down on the reed or flatten out your lips. Imagine that there is a drawstring in your lips, and someone is pulling the string towards the back of your mouth, forming a cushion over the reed with your lips.  Your upper lip should almost touch the first wire. Keep your chin muscles stretched downward and your cheeks smooth.  Practice in front of a mirror to make sure your embouchure is correct. Use the tip of your tongue for articulating; for example, accent and staccato. Think of the way you would move your mouth to say the word “dough.” If you are playing very fast, there is a special method for that called “double tonguing.” Repeatedly make the noises of the letters “d” and “g” in succession inside your mouth, up against the reed. Breathe in with your diaphragm and out with your abdominal muscles. To better grasp this technique, try relaxed breathing by lying on your back on the floor (without your bassoon). This is a simple way to observe how you properly breathe with straight posture. Consult a fingering chart and keep it nearby for reference while you are still learning. The whisper key is your left thumb's home base. Don't rest your right thumb on the bassoon. If you want to play sheet music, you'll need to learn music notations. You can learn how to read music and play the bassoon simultaneously by taking lessons. Practice fast and slow air flow. This will help you to observe how air stream affects pitch. Blow into the bocal slowly. Then...

TL;DR in English: Make sure your mouth is clean. Position the bassoon. Practice embouchure. Place your tongue properly. Breathe comfortably. Learn fingering. Try different air techniques.

You can cut a circle out of a ¾ in thick piece of plywood or you can also purchase a plywood round at most home improvement stores. You will need a three-foot (90cm) round with a thickness of 3/4-inch to 1 inch (2cm to 2.5cm) is ideal. The round should be big enough to develop some momentum, and still small enough to carry around.  If you decide to make the round yourself, then draw a line from one corner of the plywood to the other. Then, draw a line between the other two corners. The central “X” that these two lines create can serve as your center point for cutting out your wheel.  You can cut out your wheel using a straight bit with end cutters that you attach to the center of your plywood. Make sure that you go slowly as you cut out the round. After you have created or purchased your round of plywood, sand it well to ensure that there are no rough edges on the side you will be painting or on the outer edges of the wheel. You can either use a power sander or sand the wheel by hand.  When sanding wood, it is best to start with a coarser grit and then move up to a finer grit to get rid of minor imperfections.

TL;DR in English: Create or purchase a plywood round. Sand the round.

Punk music can be about almost anything: a relationship that’s soured, politics, your feelings towards something in general, or just something completely random. If you write a song about your feelings towards something, make sure it stays “punk” and not ‘emo’. Emo is short for emotive punk rock, and is actually an offshoot of punk. We're trying to write punk here, not an offshoot of punk. Make your lyrics match they style of punk you are playing (but remember that  within all these styles there are variants).  Hardcore should be shouted with just a couple phrases repeated, about politics or something relevant. Psychobilly/horror-punk should be about B movies or killing. 77 punk or post punk can be about love or pretty much anything. Most punk songs use rhyme a lot. If you can't come up with a perfect rhyme (as in: seedy / needy / greedy), try using imperfect rhymes. There are two main types:  The vowel sounds of the words are the same (e.g. subtle/bubble) The consonant sounds are the same (e.g. middle/muddle) To make words rhyme, you can also try using an alternate pronunciation. To make “more” and “sure”rhyme, for example, you could pronounce “sure” as “shore”.

Use the library analogy. Take your client and his or her website into consideration. Compare your client's website to a book. Compare finding a website to finding a book. Compare your client's website to a missing book. Compare links to good book reviews.

There's a reason "heat of the moment" is such a popular phrase. When we argue with people, there tends to be a lack of thoughtfulness and overall awareness going on, both of ourselves and the other person. Mindfulness can help you stay centered in your experience and non-judgmentally aware of the situation. This will help you gain clarity and freedom to choose how you respond.  Acknowledge your thoughts and emotional state. View thoughts from the perspective of an interested observer, without "buying into" them. Name your emotions without judging them. A single word description can be useful to get a handle on them. If you feel yourself getting worked up over what the person is saying, pay attention to the sensation of your breath flowing through your nostrils.  For example, if you start to feel yourself get irritated while the person is talking, take a moment to say "I'm feeling irritated" silently to yourself. This will help you stay in touch with your feelings. Emotionally distance yourself from the moment by putting it into perspective. For instance, you’ve probably had to deal with criticism in the past and were able to work through feelings of hurt. You could also remember that in the grand scheme of things, this one criticism is a very short experience from which you can grow. Deep breathing stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system in your body, which is in charge of restfulness. Taking a few deep breaths, inhaling so that your stomach expands while your chest stays in place, is a quick and easy way to calm yourself using basic biology. You can do this right before you receive criticism in order to prepare yourself, such as a performance evaluation with your boss. You can also use this while you are receiving criticism, such as being disciplined by a parent, in order to help you deal with it more effectively and less defensively. If you're able to get away from the argument for a little while, which is advisable, take that time to get your body moving. Aerobic exercise like jogging will provide...

TL;DR in English: Be mindful to avoid brash reactions. Practice deep breathing. Engage in mild exercise. Listen to music. Practice loving-kindness. Accept that you feel hurt.

If someone you're chatting with starts to talk about sex or sexual topics, you should stop talking to them. This includes them talking about or describing sexual acts. In addition, you should be very suspicious of anyone who asks you to talk about sexual acts or requests you to engage in them offline. Cease communications with anyone who requests a picture of you naked or engaging in a sexual act. Although it might seem normal for someone to ask you questions about yourself, you should be suspicious of people who ask you personal questions. Some questions include:  What you look like, including your physical characteristics like the color of your hair and skin, your weight, and height. What your family situation or living situation is like. If anyone asks whether you are alone, live alone, or are frequently on your on, you should be suspicious. Public chat rooms – where there are many people chatting – are often safer than private chatrooms. If someone asks you to join them in a private chatroom, you should view this with suspicion.

TL;DR in English: Watch for people who make sexually suggestive comments. Be suspicious of people who ask personal questions. Stay in public chatrooms.

Different bat compositions and materials have different uses and advantages. It’s important to know what kind of bat is appropriate for the game the girl will be playing. Wood bats are generally heavier than other types on the market. They may be most appropriate for slowpitch softball and for professional games and tournaments. Some leagues mandate the use of wood bats for safety reasons, since balls hit with wood bats are less likely to attain speeds that can result in serious injury to defensive players and pitchers. Alloy bats (made from aluminum or other types of metal) are light and relatively inexpensive. They also have the advantage of being ready to use right away – i.e., they do not have to be broken in. They also tend to last longer than other types of bats. However, they have a smaller “sweet spot” than other types of bats, meaning that there is a more restricted area of the barrel for creating a good hit. Composite bats are made out of a synthetic, fibrous material. These bats tend to be more well-balanced than other types, and are better at absorbing vibrations from hits. However, they tend to be more expensive than alloy bats, and have to be broken in.  Hybrid bats combine features of alloy and composite bats. A hybrid bat offers the comfort of a shock-absorbing composite handle along with the lower cost of an alloy barrel. Be aware of the potential safety risks to other team members posed by composite bats. The higher ball speeds achieved by composite bats have the potential to cause serious injury to pitchers and defensive players. As the names suggest, one-piece bats are made of a single piece of material, while two-piece bats consist of a separate barrel and handle, sometimes made from two different materials, that have been assembled together. Once piece bats tend to be stiffer and better balanced, while two-piece bats are more flexible and better at absorbing shocks and vibrations. You should choose based on the girl’s playing style and personal preference. Have the girl test out both...

TL;DR in English: Consult your coach about the right type of bat to buy. Buy a wood bat for practice, tournaments, or professional games. Choose an alloy bat for lightness, durability, and affordability. Choose a composite or hybrid bat for good balance and high performance. Decide between a one-piece or a two-piece bat. Keep your budget in mind.

Homemade lens cleaner won't damage the coating on your lenses like some other cleaning agents might, but you can count on it to cut through the clouds and smudges on your glasses. This is also a cheap alternative to ready-made eyeglass cleaner in the event that you ran out or weren't given any at your previous visit to the eye doctor. To make your own lens cleaner, you will need:  Dish soap Isopropyl alcohol (or witch hazel) Measuring cup Microfiber cloth Small spray bottle Water You should clean your spray bottle and measuring cup before mixing your glass cleaning solution. This is because any dirt or dust left behind in these can contaminate your homemade lens cleaner. This is especially important if you are using a general purpose spray bottle that might have previously contained other household cleaners. Now that your measuring cup and spray bottle are clean, you should measure your water and isopropyl alcohol in a 1-to-1 ratio and add each to your spray bottle. Swirl your bottle gently to mix the solution. For example, you may want to combine 1 ounce of water with 1 ounce of isopropyl alcohol in your spray bottle. For this recipe, you will only need a very small amount of dish soap to give your lens cleaner some added smudge-fighting action. Put one drop of dish soap into your mixed solution of water and isopropyl alcohol. Cap your bottle and swirl its contents gently to infuse the solution with soap. Spray a moderate amount of your lens cleaner onto each lens. Now you can take your clean microfiber cloth and wipe away all the gunk that has accumulated on your glasses. If you don't have a microfiber cloth intended for glasses, clean cotton should do the job.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Prepare your supplies. Mix the liquids of your cleaner in equal parts. Add your dish soap. Apply your cleaner and wipe away the clouds.

A great way to help illustrate a certain concept is to use analogies. One popular analogy to explain SEO is the library analogy. Most people are familiar with how libraries work; children and teenagers often have to use libraries to obtain sources and information for their school projects and reports. Using your client and his or her website in your library analogy might help your client make the connections. It will also help keep him or her engaged. Compare your client's website to a book on a familiar subject, preferably one that has something to do with his or her website. Try to use a variation of the website's name as the title, and a variation of your client's name as the author. For example:  If your client's name is Bob McBob, and Bob's Window Cleaning is the name of his website, use Window Cleaning by Bob Windowman as your fictional book. Window cleaning is something that your client can relate to, which will help keep him engaged. While you are at it, compare your client's competitors' websites to other books in the library on the same topic. So Wendy's Windows could become a book called Wonderfully Clean Windows by Wendy Wonders. The two ways someone can find your client's website is by either typing the URL into the address bar directly, or by typing in keywords into the search bar of a reputable search engine. Similarly, the two ways someone can find a book in a library is by either finding the book on the shelf, or by typing keywords into the library's computer. For example:  Bob McBob specializes in cleaning windows on multistory buildings. To find his website, someone could go to a reputable search engine, and type in words such as "window cleaning" and "multistory" and the city or suburb that Bob McBob has his business in.  Window Cleaning by Bob Windowman happens to have an entire chapter on cleaning windows on multistory buildings. Someone could find his book by going to the library computer and search the catalog using the terms "window cleaning" and "multistory" or "skyscrapers." If a...

Avoid skipping meals because it triggers a bad mood. Eat more omega-3 fatty acids to boost your serotonin levels. Avoid self-soothing and activating brain reward centers with food. Consume healthy carbohydrates instead of sweets. Increase magnesium to help manage your mania and rapid cycling. Up your intake of whole fruits and vegetables. Stay away from caffeine and alcohol because they might trigger you. Maintain your health so you can avoid comorbidities.

Leather polish will bring a shine to your jacket, but has the potential to discolor, dry out, or clog the leather surface. Use this for special occasions, and test on a hidden area first before using a new product. Buff with a cloth until a glossy surface is created.  Do not polish suede or other leather with a soft, fuzzy texture. It is not possible to make suede glossy without permanently removing this texture.  Don't use shoe polish, even if it is intended for leather shoes. If your jacket gets wet, hang it evenly on a hanger to dry at room temperature. Remove objects from the pockets to avoid stretching the wet leather, and keep it away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or airing cupboards. Apply conditioner after drying, if the leather had become thoroughly soaked.

TL;DR in English: Polish smooth leather jackets on rare occasions. Let wet leather air dry.

A permanent dye will give you much better results than a semi-permanent dye because it contains ingredients that are capable of lightening your hair. A demi-permanent dye will open the cuticle to allow more color in, but it will not lighten your hair color. A cool tone is also highly recommended as it will reduce the chances of your hair coming out brassy. If you have dark hair and wish to go brown, opt for a light or medium ash blond color. Gather all of your hair, except for the bottom layer (about mid-ear-level and below). Twist it into a loose bun at the top of your head, then secure it with a clip or hair tie. Cover your counter with newspaper or plastic. Drape an old towel or a dyeing cape around your shoulders. Apply some petroleum jelly to the skin along your hairline, back of neck, and ears. Lastly, put on a pair of plastic gloves.  You can also throw on an old t-shirt instead of using a towel or dyeing cape. You may not need to by a new pair of plastic gloves. Many hair dye kits contain them. In most cases, all you have to do is pour the dye into the applicator bottle containing the cream base, then shake the bottle to mix. Some kits also contain extra goodies, such as a shine oil, which you should add in as well. You can also mix your dye in a non-metal bowl using an applicator brush. Start applying the dye to your roots, then blend it down towards the roots using your fingers or an applicator brush. Apply more dye as needed.  You can apply the dye directly to your hair using the applicator tip on the bottle you mixed it in. If you prepared the dye in a bowl, use an applicator brush to apply the dye to your hair instead. Undo the bun on the top of your head and let down another layer of hair. Gather the rest of the hair back up into a bun, and apply more dye to this new layer. Keep going until you reach the top.  Be sure to dye the fine hairs on your sideburns and temples. You want to dye the top of your hair last because it will process the fastest.  If you have very thick hair, then you may need...

TL;DR in English: Choose your dye, preferably in a cool tone. Section off your hair. Protect your skin, clothing, and work surface. Prepare the hair dye kit according to the instructions. Apply the dye to your hair. Dye the rest of your hair, working in layers. Gather your hair into a bun and allow it to process. Wash the dye out with cool water, then condition your hair. Dry and style your hair as desired.

As a loved one, you can do your part in reassuring someone you care about by letting them know what they mean to you. Of course, this won't make their troubles go away, but it will help them feel less alone in facing them. You might say something like, “I love you so much. I'm sorry you're going through this, but I'm here.” People suffering from anxiety may only see the world from the perspective of fear, which makes them feel like a burden to the people around them. Your loved one may not know just how valuable they are to you, so tell them. You might say, “I know you probably don't know this, but once I was feeling really down in the dumps. I didn't think I could go on anymore. You randomly called me. Without even knowing, you made my day so much better.” Those who feel fear or anxiety may only see their weaknesses. So, your friend doesn't need more criticism, they need reminding of their positive traits. This can help reassure them and empower them to overcome their fears. For instance, if you and a friend who has social anxiety are going to an event, you might say, “Sandra, I really like the color of your dress, and your makeup is flawless.” Or you might praise character traits like, “Gee, Greg, you are such a great listener. I don't know what I would do without you.” If your friend is nervous about an upcoming event or activity, do your part to encourage them. Cheer them on by reminding them how great they are and letting them know you believe in their abilities. You might say something like, "I know you're worried about the test, but you shouldn't be. You're a rock star! You know your stuff, so I know you'll knock this test out of the park!"

TL;DR in English: Tell them how much you care. Explain how they have made your life better. Praise them. Root them on.

Eating enough food is an important part of managing bipolar symptoms. When you skip meals, your blood sugar levels drop which has a negative effect on your mood. Try to eat at least three meals a day. If you do not like eating three big meals, you can eat six small meals throughout the day. Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to depression. Both docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), omega-3 fatty acids, and work to increase serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood in the brain.  Increasing omega-3s has not been shown to decrease mania or rapid cycling. Have one serving of fatty fish, like salmon, mackerel, or sardines, one tablespoon of olive, canola, or soybean oil, or one handful of flax seeds or walnuts a day to get enough omega-3s. To take omega-3 as a daily supplement, fish oil containing 6.2 grams of EPA plus 3.4 grams of DHA is recommended. When purchasing fish oil, make sure to read the label and see that both of these ingredients are present so that you can more effectively combat the symptoms of bipolar disorder. People with bipolar disorder have lower levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that not only impacts your mood, but can spark a craving for carbs and sweets. However, eating sweets can negatively affect your health and cause weight gain. Don’t eat these foods to comfort yourself. Eating sweets activates reward centers in the brain, releasing dopamine, which makes people feel good. Carbohydrates are an essential part of your diet. However, there are some carbs that are better for you than others. Try to avoid carbs with refined sugars, as they can make your blood sugar levels spike dramatically then crash, making you feel tired and depressed. Complex carbs release energy in a more sustainable way and can impact our serotonin levels.  Eat more complex carbs like sweet potatoes and whole grains. Eat less refined sugar carbs like white bread, white pasta, and white rice. Add lean protein to fibre to get the nutrition you need in a healthy way. Have...

Pain is actually somewhat rare in early uterine cancer. It does not usually occur until later in the disease’s progression. Any kind of recurring pain in your pelvis can be a sign of a various number of potential health problems – including uterine cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts. You should notify your doctor and get it checked out if you are experiencing any kind of pain or pressure in your pelvis.  A feeling of pressure in your pelvis can also be a sign of uterine cancer. The intensity of the sensation can vary from person to person. You might feel a sharp, stabbing pain in your pelvic region or perhaps a lighter, more continuous feeling of pressure. It should never hurt when you urinate. If you are experiencing pain during urination, it can be a symptom of several problems including uterine cancer or urinary tract infection. Regardless, you should see your doctor immediately if you are experiencing this problem. For the most part, sexual intercourse should not be painful. If you are experiencing pain during sex, especially if it is a recent development, consider letting your doctor know just to make sure nothing is wrong. Your doctor may also be able to recommend something to alleviate the pain.

TL;DR in English: Watch for pain or pressure in your pelvis. Notice if it is difficult or painful to urinate. Be wary of pain during sexual intercourse.

You will need to be able to stack these stones so that they will provide a sturdy base for your bath. Look for stones that are large and relatively flat. Take the stones you have found and stack them, one on top of the other. Try to arrange them so that they are level. It will be a bit like a puzzle, as you try to match the jutting edges in some rocks with the gaps in others. Birds sometimes use bowls lying directly on the ground as birdbaths. They prefer, however, for their birdbaths to be at least a few inches off the ground, but it is not absolutely necessary that they be very high up. Once the stones are relatively level, place a trashcan lid on top of them. You do need to pile the stones very high. Your priority should be creating a level surface for the lid.  The lid should be deep enough for you to fill it with 1-2 inches (2-5 cm) of water and wide enough that there is enough room for you to put a large stone in the center and still have space for birds to get inside. It is counterproductive to have more than 2 inches of water in a birdbath. Place a heavy stone in the center of the trashcan lid to hold it in place on top of the other stones. Be sure the stone is centered or it will throw the lid off balance. Once the lid is secure, fill it with water. The birds should show up in no time!

TL;DR in English: Find large level stones. Stack stones. Build the stone pillar at least a few inches off the ground. Place a trashcan lid on top. Secure the lid with a large stone. Fill the lid with water.

Aquamarine comes in a variety of colors, from green to blue to gray. Gemstones that have a rich, blue color are typically more valuable than green hues, but most blue-green hues are more valuable than borderline-clear stones. Ultimately, however, the right hue is a matter of personal preference.  No matter which color you are buying, look for an even color distribution throughout the gemstone. The most expensive unheated stones are medium to strong sky blue, and they can cost up to $600 per carat. By nature, aquamarine is one of the cleanest gemstones available. Major inclusions are rare and often a sign of mistreatment. A quality aquamarine should not have inclusions that are visible to the naked eye, and any inclusions that are visible through magnification should be slight and interior.  It is becoming fashionable lately to wear aquamarine jewelry that has inclusions in the stones. You can purchase aquamarine with inclusions for a lesser price. Low quality to mid-range aquamarines can range from $5 to $100 per carat. Past 10 carats, mid-range aquamarines can cost between $150 and $200 per carat. High quality aquamarines are much more expensive. An unheated light blue stone can cost you around $90 per carat, while a light blue-green stone can cost you anywhere between $180 to $240 per carat. Blue topaz is considerably less valuable than aquamarine, but the two stones can look very similar. The only way to tell them apart is by using a jeweler’s loupe and looking for 2 refraction lights, which is an indicator of blue topaz.  Avoid gemstones labeled as "Brazilian Aquamarine" or "Nerchinsk Aquamarine," since both of these actually refer to blue topaz. Also avoid "Siam Aquamarine," which is actually blue zircon. Since natural aquamarines are prevalent and easy to mine, they often prove less costly than synthetic aquamarines. The person who sells you your aquamarine gemstone will tell you whether or not the stone is synthetic.

TL;DR in English:


Wear comfortable shoes. Avoid flashy, distracting jewelry. Keep a professional, structured bag for work.

Some fresh air can help to keep you awake and alert. If you tend to stay inside much of the day, take a few breaks and head outside. Getting some sunlight (especially in the morning) can help regulate your waking and sleeping cycles so that you’re fully awake during the day and can sleep well at night.  Take a walk during your lunch break or ask to meet with people outside. For example, if you have a dog, go for a walk each morning so you can maximize your sun exposure. Engaging in social activities can help to keep you alert and involved. Find a friend to talk to. This might also be a good time to make any necessary phone calls.  Avoid using instant messaging to communicate; it’s best to speak in-person or over the phone to stay awake. Talk to another student or co-worker throughout your day. Schedule regular meetings so that you can be continuously engaged. Avoid reaching for the sugary snacks and grab something that will give you long-lasting energy. For example, try eating a handful of nuts or a bowl of fresh fruit. Spread some nut butter on a whole grain cracker or eat a yogurt. When you get a craving for a snack, get in the habit of fueling yourself for long-term energy to help avoid any lows that might make you drowsy or tired. If you’re struggling to stay awake, get up and take a 10-minute walk. Moving around can increase blood flow and provide oxygen throughout your body. Simple movement can help increase energy for up to 2 hours.  If you can’t take a walk, do some stretches or movements to wake up your body. Try some jumping jacks or burpees. If possible, use the gym or attend a yoga class in the morning or during lunchtime. Adding a supplement to your day can help to increase energy and keep you awake. For example, B vitamins are known to help increase energy, especially if your diet is low in B vitamins. However, beware of supplements that promise energy without any research or support.  Speak to your physician before starting any new supplements or medications. Be cautious of using stimulants...

TL;DR in English: Get outside to regulate your circadian rhythm. Talk to someone as a way to stay engaged. Grab a healthy snack when you’re hungry and sleepy. Move your body to increase your blood flow for energy. Use a supplement for energy.

There is no fixed calculation you can use to determine how much cash you should spend on your used car.  Your used car, purchased with cash, should not cause a disruption in your finances or leave you without money to pay for food, rent, and other necessities.  Use your best judgment when deciding how much you can pay for a used car. Browse several used car lots before you buy to get an idea of what you’d like to purchase.  Identify the year, make, and model of several used cars you’d like to purchase.  Be sure to select a car that is within your price range.  Narrow your list by checking Consumer Reports or a similar website to read trustworthy reviews of the cars you’re interested in. You may also want to look up the vehicle with your national traffic safety agency to determine if the car that you are interested in purchasing has been recalled. Identify at least three cars you’re interested in. If the vehicle you intend to buy is older or a luxury model, finding the right parts for it could be difficult or expensive.  Even if you wish to purchase a fairly standard vehicle, it might need its tires changed or timing belts replaced.  Consider these costs when deciding whether to purchase a particular car and when negotiating the price. Newer cars also often have higher insurance rates.

TL;DR in English: Determine how much you can afford. Develop a shortlist of cars you’re interested in. Factor in the cost of maintenance and repair.

It’s very easy to get prequalified for a loan. Large banks will let you start the prequalification process online. Type in the name of any bank and “mortgage prequalification” into Google.  At the website, you’ll find a phone number or a link you can click to get started. You can also be prequalified by stopping into a bank and asking to speak to a loan officer. Don’t limit yourself to banks, though. You can also try lenders, brokers, and credit unions, among others. The lender will ask for basic information, such as your name, phone number, and current address. You will also be asked how much you want to finance. Some lenders will then follow up with you for information about your income, assets, and debts. Other banks will have you submit all of this information online. The prequalification process is very simple. Based on the information you provide, the lender will tell you how much you can borrow. Realize that the lender isn’t making a promise to lend this amount, or to even to lend to you at all. While prequalification usually gives you a loan amount, keep in mind that this is actually for a certain monthly payment. Keep that in mind when shopping toward the upper limit of your prequalification, as taxes and insurance vary for every property and could make you qualify for less or more than your prequalification letter.

TL;DR in English: Visit lender websites or a bank. Provide information. Receive your results.

Honey is a natural antibiotic and works to pull out dirt from your open pores. Mix a tablespoon of honey with ½ a teaspoon of cinnamon and use your fingers to dab it onto your dry skin. Rub it in a circular motion for three minutes and then wash off with warm water. Make sure to wash your hands before you start applying the mask. Egg whites help to tighten pores and pull out any clogged dirt, giving you smooth, clear skin. A simple egg white mask is a great way to remove blackheads and help your skin feel fresh and clean. There are many different kinds of cosmetic clay available to purchase in a powdered form, each with the specialized property of drying out oily pores and removing unwanted residue. Mix a tablespoon of powdered clay with enough apple cider vinegar to make a paste, and spread it over your face. Leave it for 10-15 minutes until it is dry to the touch, and then rinse off with warm water. The lactic acid in yogurt and the calming qualities of oatmeal mix to create an effective blackhead-blocking formula. Use this simple mask once a week to keep your skin clear and fresh. Fenugreek? That's right - use the leafy green blended with water to form a paste. Besides its numerous other health benefits, fenugreek has shown promising results for removing blackheads. Spread this paste over your  face and allow it to sit for ten minutes, and then rinse off. Both spices you likely have in your kitchen cupboard, turmeric and mint help to clean out dirty pores. Create a brew of mint tea and allow it to cool. Then, add two tablespoons of the liquid with a tablespoon of turmeric powder and apply it to your face. Leave it on for ten minutes and then rinse off with warm water. Epsom salt mixed with iodine form a bacteria-fighting combo perfect for removing blackheads. Mix a tablespoon of epsom salt with hot water and a few drops of iodine. Let this mixture sit, stirring occasionally to dissolve the salt completely into the hot water. Then, use a bit of cotton to dab the solution onto your skin, allowing it to dry...

Regardless of the footwear that your job calls for, you need to make sure that you can wear them for the duration of your workday. Ditch the sky-high heels for some more appropriate pumps or ballet flats. Stick to close-toed shoes to ensure you look appropriate.  Some offices permit sandals or even sneakers, but just make sure you confirm this beforehand. Just like with your clothing, it's better to be safe than sorry. For example, unless you've seen your boss wearing flip flops, don't wear flip flops! If you have a long commute, you can bring an extra pair of shoes. Some women prefer wearing comfortable walking shoes to and from work, and popping on a pair of heels for the work day. Statement necklaces, clunky bangles, or giant hoop earrings can be a lot of fun to wear, but leave them at home. The most work-appropriate jewelry consists of pieces that add a little sparkle, but don't blind. Delicate necklaces, stud earrings, watches, and other unobtrusive pieces can help pull a look together without distracting observers. Less is more! Cross-body bags, colorful totes, and backpacks can be great for other things, but a sleek, structured bag is perfect for the office. Make sure that it can fit everything you need for a full day of work, because it won't look appropriate if your bag is bursting at the seams and spilling all over your desk space. You can spend a good deal of money on a designer bag for work, or you can check discount stores for a steal. The only nonnegotiable criteria for a work bag is that it looks clean and in good condition.

Like many pests, wasps are attracted to food—especially foods that are high in sugar and meat products. This includes pet food. Make sure that your trash cans are sealed tight, bird feeders are far from the house, and food isn't left out. Check your house for unsealed vents, torn screens, cracks around windows and door frames, or open dampers. Seal off these problem areas and the wasps no longer have entry ways into your home. Swatting wasps is actually counterproductive. When a wasp is squashed, a pheromone is released which attracts nearby wasps. Rather, walk away from any hovering wasps.

TL;DR in English: Put food away. Seal entry points. Avoid swatting.

Unless you choose to crack and shell the pecans yourself, you will end up paying to have these undesirable nuts processed.  If you intend to sell your pecans, having substandard or worthless nuts will cause the buyer to offer a lower price than for consistent, high quality pecans.  This is especially true if you sell to a wholesaler, who grades his purchases carefully to insure the quality of his product.  Some things to look for to help determine the quality of your pecans are these:  Coloration.  Good pecans should have a uniform color.  Some varieties, like Stuarts and Donaldsons have stripes near the bud ends, and a good definition between the stripe color (usually black), and the shells (light tan) are indicative of a good nut. Shell shape.  Pecans form inside the husk as nutrients are passed through the veins in the husk, then through the still soft shell, filling out from the bud end to the tip.  If dry weather, depletion of soil nutrients, or insect damage to the husk interrupts this feeding process, the nut will taper toward the tip end, meaning the nutmeat has not continued to grow completely. Sound.  This may seem unusual, but pecans, when they are rattled or dropped together, make a distinctive sound.  Hollow sounding pecans are likely not filled out, whereas good, full pecans will sound solid, even if just rattled together in your hands.  As you gather the pecans, shake them, and crack a few suspicious sounding ones, and you will soon develop an ear for the sound of a good, full pecan. Weight.  Although individual pecans weigh very little, an experienced picker, especially when picking or sorting by hand, will soon notice a distinct difference in weight of full pecans, compared to lesser quality ones. Generally, pecans can be stored in loose cloth sacks, in a cool, dry place for several weeks after harvest.  The nuts will actually improve in quality, particularly those harvested early, as they cure.  Do not skip the curing step.  Uncured pecans will not crack properly, and are difficult to shell....

TL;DR in English: Sort out deformed or damaged nuts when you have finished harvesting them. Sack your pecans for storage. Shell your nuts.

Once the chip is sanded, clean, and dry you can apply the primer just like you would on a medium-sized chip.  Apply a thin layer of primer to any bare metal using the applicator brush.  Be careful not to apply so much primer that drips begin to form, as they could reach the paint or cause the final repair to look uneven.  Allow the primer to dry completely before moving on to the next stage. It may take several hours for the primer to dry to full “cure.”  Read the label on the automotive primer you purchased to know for sure. Once the primer is dry, it may appear to be textured due to the bristles of the brush or the way it settled on the metal.  Use 2000 grit sandpaper and a hose to wet sand the primer.  Turn the house on and hold it above the chip so the water is pouring directly onto the dry primer, then use the sandpaper to lightly sand only the primer.  Be careful not to sand the clear coat or paint from the surrounding area as you lightly sand the primer until it is completely flat.  Wet sanding the primer will help ensure it takes on a completely flat and even finish. Allow the sanded primer to dry again completely before moving on to the next step. Using the same method as you might for a medium-sized chip, apply the touch up paint to the primer.  Dab the applicator brush in the paint, then touch it to the center of the chip and allow the paint to settle evenly.  Repeat this process until the paint covers the entire primed area.  You may need to apply multiple coats, or one coat could suffice depending on the touch up paint you purchase.  Allow the paint to dry completely before determining if you should apply another coat. If you attempt to apply the paint before the primer has dried from the wet sanding, grey swirls could appear in the paint. Once the paint is completely dry, repeat the wet sanding process on the fresh paint to remove any texture and make it completely flat.  Make sure to use different extremely fine sandpaper (2000 grit or more) and keep the water flowing over the paint as you sand...

TL;DR in English: Apply the primer. Wet sand the primer. Apply the touch up paint to the primer. Wet sand the newly dried paint. Apply clear coat. Wash and wax the entire car.

There are a number of ways that you can do this. Have fun with this part of the project!  Build a rope ladder Build a ladder using 2 12-foot 2x4s and 2 8-foot 2x3s. Place the 2x4s side by side in perfect symmetry, marking off where each rung should go. Cut out 2x3 notches about 1 1⁄8 inches (2.9 cm) deep into both sides of the 2x4s. Cut the 2x3s the appropriate length for rungs and glue them into their notches with wood glue. Secure your rungs with deck screws and wait for the glue to dry. Stain your ladder to give it a nice hue and protect it from the elements. This roof is made from a simple tarp, although you can also get more elaborate in designing and constructing your roof. Drive one hook into both trunks about 8 feet (2.4 m) above the bottom of the platform. String a bungee cord between the two hooks and slip a tarp overhead. Next, build four outriggers several feet high and attach them to the four corners of your railing. Nail the tarp to the four corners of the outriggers, securing with a washer. Now your roof should have a better overhang. If you want to weatherproof your treehouse, or just give it a more appealing look, now's the time to stain or paint it. Consider a stain or paint that will work in combination with your house.

TL;DR in English:


Enable cheats. Hide unwanted graphics. Get more money. Make Sims do actions on demand.

A summary or objective statement should be approximately 2-4 sentences long and written in paragraph form, as opposed to point form with bullets. The purpose of such a statement is to outline what it is you're looking for in terms of work, and why you'd be an excellent choice for that work. As you are likely a student, and you might possibly have other responsibilities or engagements (e.g. chores, sports, clubs, etc.), you might want to use this statement as an opportunity to explain what days and times you're available for babysitting. You can update your summary or objective statement as often as you want. For example, you might have different availability during school months than you do during the summer months, or during holidays. You may want to create two separate resumes - one for school months and the other for holidays. You can submit or send whichever resume is relevant when you're job searching. Most skills and abilities can be divided into three categories - technical, transferable, and personal. Technical skills are very specific skills that are needed to carry out very specific tasks. For a babysitter, a technical skill may be knowing how to perform CPR. Transferable skills are more general skills that can be used to carry out a variety of tasks. For a babysitter, a transferable skills may be the ability to be organized and plan events. Finally, personal skills are attributes that describe your work ethic and personality. For a babysitter, personal skills would include being trustworthy, honest, organized and on time.  Think about the various types of skills and abilities you possess and write them down.  Search for skill or ability words online to narrow down the exact words you'd like to use to describe yourself.  Write out several sentences that describe your skills and abilities as they relate to babysitting. The exact number you should include on your resume will depend on how many you're able to come up with, and how much space you have. Examples of skills and abilities that are relevant...

TL;DR in English: Create a summary or objective statement. Think about your various skills and abilities. List your work experience. Write down your volunteer experience. Input your extracurricular activities. Write out your education and training.

Many offices have much of their information listed on their websites. For instance, office hours should be listed on the website. You should also be able to find information about the doctor's educational background. Take notes on what you find, and note what information you can't find.  If you have special needs related to communication, check to see if the office has ways to help, such as interpreters or multilingual staff. The websites of some practices will even offer photos and videos the pediatricians so that potential patients can get a feel for their personality and style. Contact the office of each doctor to ask a few initial questions about the doctor. What questions you ask exactly depends on what you expect from a pediatrician, but in general, you should ask about the doctor's educational background and experience, as well as what usually happens when you bring your child to that office.  Also ask about any criteria that are especially important to you. For instance, don't forget to ask about office hours and the doctor's specialties. You should also ask what hospitals the doctor is able to admit patients to.  Another important question to ask is how care is coordinated when your child needs to be referred to a specialist.  Don't forget to take notes for each doctor's office you call. It doesn't matter if you've found the perfect pediatrician if they're not accepting new patients. Make sure to ask each office whether they are taking on patients as you call around. Once you've talked to each office, narrow down the list more to the doctors you'd like to interview in person. Narrow it down based on what criteria are most important to you. Once you've narrowed, it's time to schedule in-person interviews. Keep in mind that these interviews will generally be short, usually only 10 minutes or so, so don't expect to be there for an hour or more. The main purpose is to get a sense of whether you find the doctor trustworthy enough to handle your child's health.  Sometimes, group practices have gatherings...

TL;DR in English: Do your research first. Call the pediatricians. Check which pediatricians are accepting new patients. Narrow your list some more. Schedule interviews. Show up for the interview.

Rooting compound, also referred to as rooting hormones, is comprised of synthetic auxins that encourage embryonic root development. Most compounds also include small amounts of fungicide to help prevent disease while the cutting is rooting. The compound is available in a powdered form at most garden centers. Shake a small amount (about 2 to 3 tablespoons or 30 to 45 ml) of rotting compound onto a paper plate. Dip the lower part of the stem into the compound and then lightly shake off the excess. Apply root compound conservatively; too high of levels may inhibit growth development as the plant matures. Cuttings can be rooted in any container with drainage holes. You can root the cuttings in individual pots, or in a flat that contains several 2- or 3-inch (5- or 7.6-cm) cells. The rooting medium should provide a mix of moisture and air so that the cutting is supported, but root growth is not restricted. The most popular rooting medium is a mix of garden soil, peat moss, perlite, turface, vermiculite, and hardwood or pine bark. Commercial blends are available at most garden centers. Fill the container about three-quarters full of rooting medium. Place the container in a pan of water and let it sit until the top of the rooting medium appears moist. Then allow the container to drain for 10 minutes. Poke a hole in the rooting medium a little larger than the stem using a pencil or straw. The pre-formed holes allow the rooting compound to stay on the cutting, rather than being brushed off onto the top of the soil. Then insert, or "stick" the cuttings into the rooting medium. The lower parts should be firmly supported by the rooting medium, and should not be touching the bottom of the container. If you are planting different kinds of herbs, label each pot or flat with the name of the herb and the planting date.

TL;DR in English: Apply rooting compound. Select rooting containers. Prepare the rooting medium. Prepare the container. Stick the cuttings. Label the pots and/or flats.

Pushups are a classic upper-body strengthening exercise that you can do anywhere. To begin, kneel down on a mat or the floor and bring your knees and feet together. Stretch out on your belly and rest on your palms, with your hands shoulder-width apart and lined up with your shoulders. Rest your toes on the floor and keep your legs together. Tighten your core and keep your back straight as you push up from the floor with your arms until your elbows are straight, then slowly lower yourself back to the floor.  Ideally, you should not let your belly touch the floor before pushing back up again. Try doing 3 sets of 10 reps to start. As you get more comfortable with pushups, you’ll be able to do more in a set. If you’re not comfortable with a full pushup yet, allow your knees and shins to rest on the floor and just push up your upper body. This is a great way to build the upper body strength you need to eventually pull off a full pushup! This fancy-sounding exercise is actually a simple way to work out your upper body, back, and hips. Lie flat on the floor or a mat and stretch your legs out behind you with your toes pointing backwards. Stretch your arms out straight in front of you with your palms facing each other. Exhale and tighten your core, then slowly raise your arm a few inches off the floor while inhaling. Exhale as you slowly lower it down again. Alternate doing this with each of your limbs in succession. Try to keep your back, hips, and head as still as possible while you do this exercise. Planks are a great core-building exercise that work more effectively than push-ups and are easier to do! To execute a basic plank correctly, lie down on the floor or on a mat and place your palms on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Broaden your shoulders as much as possible to engage your back and core. Push straight up through your arms and put your toes under you so that your entire torso and legs are off the floor, keeping your legs and back as straight as possible. Try to hold this position for 20-60 seconds.  Don’t...

TL;DR in English: Build your arm and shoulder strength with pushups. Strengthen your shoulders and back with contralateral limb raises. Do some planks to build strength in your core. Engage your glutes and core with frog bridges. Work your legs and butt with lunges. Tone your calves with heel raises. Follow along with strength training videos for extra motivation.

Changing your dressing daily will keep the wound clean. If the dressing becomes dirty or wet, change the dressing as soon as possible. Keep your wound covered until it is completely healed. Wounds heal faster if they are kept moist and warm. Whenever you are changing the dressing, change it quickly to prevent drying, temperature loss, and exposure to bacteria. If you leave the wound exposed, this may cause its temperature to drop, slowing the healing process. Keep bandages in your pocket, purse, or backpack just in case you need to change the dressing while you are out of the house. Your wound may become very itchy once a scab starts to form. Try to avoid itching or picking at the scab since these may reopen the wound, slowing the healing process. Relieve itchiness by applying a non-scented, moisturizing lotion around the wound. You can also apply ice wrapped in a cloth to the wound to relieve itchiness. Contrary to popular belief, airing out your wound may slow the healing process. By leaving your wound uncovered, you are exposing it to dirt and bacteria that may infect the wound. Do not remove your bandages until a scab starts to form. Once the scab forms, you should keep the scab moist to help it heal faster. Signs that a wound is infected include an increase in drainage or pus, the formation of thick green or brown pus around the wound, and/or a foul odor coming from the wound. If you develop a fever that lasts for more than 4 hours, or develop tender lumps in your armpits or groin, then you may have an infection. Additionally, a wound that will not heal or shows no signs of healing over 1 to 2 weeks may be infected.

TL;DR in English: Change the dressing once a day. Change the dressing quickly. Avoid itching your wound. Avoid airing out the wound. Contact your doctor if the wound becomes infected.

If you are having trouble with dry mouth you should talk to your doctor about possible causes and treatments. It's important to have enough saliva, so if home remedies and such are not working, get medical care for the problem. If you are taking a medication that causes dry mouth, talk to your doctor about alternatives. There may be another medication for your condition that won't cause the side effect of dry mouth. There are hundreds of medications that are known to cause dry mouth, including very common ones like benadryl, acetaminophen and claritin. In many cases, dry mouth that is serious enough to get medical care is related to a medical issue. It could be the side effect of medical treatment or caused by a medical problem. If your saliva production is especially low, your doctor may prescribe a medication that will increase it. There are several drugs that the doctor may prescribe, depending on your symptoms and any underlying health problems.  Salagen is commonly prescribed to help with low saliva production. Evoxac is a medication that is used to increase saliva production for those that have Sjögren's syndrome, which is a disease that causes dry eyes, mouth, and skin.

TL;DR in English: Discuss ongoing problems with your doctor. Avoid medications that cause dry mouth. Manage any underlying medical problems. Take medication to increase saliva production.

If you want to take care of others you need to take care of yourself. Not only do you need the energy gained from good self care habits, remember that your kids look up to you. Model a healthy lifestyle that involves regular self care.   Motherhood is often seen as a game of sacrifice. Mothers are expected to give up certain luxuries and comforts in order to meet their child's needs. Such an approach can actually backfire. Kids will learn to let their own needs go unmet to meet the demands of others. The best way to teach your child to take care of himself is to show him how to do so.  Model a healthy lifestyle. Take regular breaks from work and chores. Stop to eat lunch at midday. Get enough sleep at night. Splurge on a babysitter once in awhile to go see your friends. Many mothers feel guilt at indulging, but you do not need to worry. Your children will not feel neglected or overlooked but will instead come to recognize what a positive, healthy lifestyle resembles.  Obviously, self care is easier said than done. This is especially true if you have very young children and are the primary caregiver in your household. It's okay to ask for help. If you have family in the area, see if your brother or mother can take the kids on an afternoon outing so you can catch up on sleep. If you're co-parenting, ask your partner or spouse to watch the kids for a weekend afternoon. If you're feeling high stress during your busy routine, a regimen of deep breathing can help keep you calm. Practice the following technique if you're having a high stress day.  Breathe in slowly. Try to take air into your stomach rather than your chest. Count to four, holding in the air. Purse your lips and exhale slowly while counting to four. Rest for four counts without taking any breaths. Take two normal breaths and then start the activity over. Many mothers believe admitting to stress is a sign of weakness. This is not the case. It's actually healthier to admit when you're stressed than to try holding it in.Avoid stress during the Christmas...

TL;DR in English: Practice self care. Try deep breathing. Admit when you're stressed. Familiarize yourself with tricks to reduce anxiety. Seek support groups.

If you have a long warm season you can grow almost anything; if it's shorter make sure to pick early-ripening types. Some squash grow on vines that can cover a lot of ground, so if you just have a 12 x 12 foot space, you're better off with a bush variety. Most details will be found on the packaging. Here are a few basics to consider:   Butternut squash. This type of squash is bottle-shaped with a light brown rind. It is one of the most popular, common, and arguably most delicious. This type has a rich flavor and a smooth texture, in addition to a natural resistance to squash vine borers. They will store for six months or longer.  Buttercup squash. This type isn't too different from the butternut squash, but it does mature faster than butternut or hubbard. It is good for areas with a shorter, cooler growing season. Each plant will likely grow vigorously and produce heavy crops of squat, green fruits. This type stores for four to six months.  Hubbard squash and kabocha squash. These two types are often clumped together due to their similarities. They can be medium-sized or they can be absolutely huge. In general, they have drier flesh than most other winter squash. Their color varies by variety, and all varieties will store for four to six months.  Delicata squash and dumpling squash. Delicate squash are cylinder-shaped and dumpling squash are pumpkin-shaped. They both produce single-serving-size, ivory-colored fruits with green stripes that turn orange when stored. If you live in a cool climate, these are pretty easy to grow. They are fast to mature and will store for three to five months.  Acorn squash. This type is a ribbed, round fruit with a gold or green rinds. They also mature quickly and will store for at least three months. They are them popular in areas with short summers as there maturation process doesn't take much time.  Spaghetti squash. These are so named because they are full of stringy fibers that look like pasta. The oblong fruits have smooth rinds that vary from tan to orange, and they will...

TL;DR in English: Choose varieties based on your climate and the space you have available. Aim to plant your seeds after the last frost. Prepare your soil. Plant six seeds per hill about an inch (2 cm) deep in a sunny spot.
