Hamsters like to be awake at night, so the best time to spend time with your hamster is after the sun has gone down. For this reason, hamsters make great pets for night owls. Be aware that if you try to pick up your hamster during the day, it will be more likely to bite you. To help keep your hamster happy and healthy, you will need to keep his cage nice and clean. Once per week you should also perform a deep cleaning on your hamster’s cage. Remove everything from your hamster’s cage (including your hamster) and scrub the sides and bottom with warm, soapy water. Then rinse and dry the cage before putting in new bedding, your hamster’s accessories, and your hamster. In addition to a weekly deep clean, you should also do the following every day:  Remove and replace any soiled or damp bedding. Remove and dispose of droppings. Check the corners of your hamster’s cage for hidden food. Hamsters have a tendency to stash food for later. It will take some time and patience before your hamster is ready to let you hold him. Build up his trust in you by allowing him to sniff your hand and even give you a little nibble. You can also offer your hamster a treat from your hand to build up his trust in you. Once your hamster is comfortable with you, you can try to pick him up. To pick up your hamster, gently cup both hands around him and lift him slowly out of his cage. Do not swoop in and grab him or you will startle him and cause him to hide from you. Hamsters also need time outside of their cages to be happy. Once you have established trust with your hamster, take him out of his cage once per day for a little supervised playtime outside of his cage.  Make sure to keep him in a room where you can monitor his movement. Otherwise he might hide somewhere and make it difficult for you to find him. Make sure that there are no hazards in the area, such as electrical cords, that your hamster might gnaw on. A healthy hamster will be much happier than an unhealthy hamster. If a hamster is well cared for, it may live to be 1-2 years...

TL;DR in English: Remember that hamsters are nocturnal animals. Clean your hamster’s cage regularly. Handle your hamster with care. Allow your hamster some supervised time outside of his cage each day. Get regular veterinary care for your hamster.

The Induction phase is designed to kick-start the Atkins diet by putting the body into a state of ketosis, which metabolizes stored fat. Some people lose as much as 15 pounds (6.8 kg) in 2 weeks, but only if they have an extreme amount of weight to lose, usually 100 pounds or more. It is normal to lose 4 to 6 pounds on Induction.  Ketosis occurs when your body has no sugar based energy and uses fat instead. Ketosis has some side effects such as nausea, headache, mental fatigue and bad breath. Not everyone enters Ketosis. It is not uncommon to get sick during any dietary changes, especially if you have been eating unhealthy foods for some time. Remember to hydrate your body, take your vitamins and get adequate sleep. After removing unhealthy carbs, replace them with vegetables and some proteins and fats. Atkins is diet based on VEGETABLES, unlike any other diet out there. Eating more healthy carbs from vegetables will bring nutrition to your body and still let you lose weight.  Try to eat the following foods to obtain these fats and proteins:  You can eat chicken, red meat, fish and eggs, including egg yolks. Aim for at least 4 ounces (113 g) of protein at each meal. You may enjoy fats including olive oil and mayonnaise during this phase. Consume more mono and polyunsaturated fats instead of saturated fats and trans fats. Avoid processed meats, as they may be cured with sugar and count as carbs. The main focus of Atkins is to eat healthy carbs from vegetables. Strive to get 12-15 grams of healthy carbs from vegetables like leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower, and others listed on the Atkins Phase 1 (Induction) List here: https://www.atkins.com/how-it-works/atkins-20/phase-1/low-carb-foods. Keep the amount of other carbohydrates that you eat every day as low as possible.  This will help you to lose weight at this stage of the diet.  Consume 20 grams of carbohydrates or fewer during this phase. 12-15 grams should come from healthy vegetables. Remember, Atkins is a...

TL;DR in English: Understand what the Induction phase entails. Focus on eating healthy carbs from vegetables as well as fat and protein during this phase. Limit carbohydrates. Eat often. Snack during the Induction phase of Atkins Monitor water intake. Survive the first ten days of an Atkins diet Avoid the pit-falls of the Atkins diet. Determine whether you’re ready to move on to the next phase.

Grasp the end of a piece of ribbon and fold it over about 2 to 3 in (5.1 to 7.6 cm) from the end. Then, repeat this as many times as you like to create more loops. Once you have the desired number of loops, staple through the ribbon layers at 1 end to secure the loops. You may also use ribbon that has wire in it for a 3-D effect. Shape the ribbon into loops or waves and then glue the ribbon onto your fascinator base. Choose a single long feather, or a bundle of feathers to attach to the center of your fascinator. Apply hot glue to the bare ends of the feather to attach them to the fascinator base. Direct the feathers so that the ends are going towards the back or top of your head. You may position the spray of feathers so that the bare ends are at the center of your base or off to one side slightly. Try putting the base on your head and holding the feathers in a few different positions first to see what looks best to you. You can purchase silk flowers in almost any variety in a craft supply store or online. Choose a silk flower in the color and style that will complement the other elements in your fascinator. Cut off the stem so that the bottom of the flower is flat. Then, apply hot glue to the back of the flower and press it into your base. You can position the silk flower in the center or off to 1 side. You can glue on a single large bead, sequin, or button as a centerpiece, or use a variety of smaller beads, sequins, and buttons to accent your fascinator. Apply a dot of hot glue where you want to attach a bead, sequin, or button, and then press the item into the hot glue and hold for about 10 to 15 seconds. To avoid burning your fingers on the hot glue, try pressing the item in place with the back of a pen or pencil.

TL;DR in English: Create ribbon loops and glue them onto your base. Attach a spray of feathers that match or complement your other colors. Select a silk flower for an easy pre-made centerpiece. Glue on beads, sequins, paste-gems, or buttons to accent your base.

Holding multiple cards in the back palm position is done the same way as a single card: grip the edge of the card between your pinky and index finger and keep your fingers flush so the audience can’t see the card. However, holding multiple cards puts more tension on your fingers and takes a lot of practice to master. Make sure you’ve mastered the back palm vanish with a single card before you try your hand at doing it with multiple cards.

TL;DR in English: Get comfortable holding multiple cards in the back palm position.

Cover the outlet with a piece of furniture to hide it from view if you don't plan on use it. If you need to temporarily use the outlet, you can always rearrange the furniture or thread the cord underneath the furniture.  Choose lightweight furniture so you can easily move it toward and away from the wall. Keep the furniture at least several inches or centimeters away from the wall for easier access to the outlet. For outlets positioned higher on the wall, screw a hook or nail into the wall above it. Hang the picture over the outlet for easy access in case you need to use it while effectively hiding it. Avoid taping posters over the outlet, as these can be harder to remove if you need to use it. If you're using the outlet for a device, position the device directly in front of it. Roll up the cord as much as possible and set it behind the device to keep it from drawing attention to the outlet. If you have stereo speakers, for example, position them directly in front of the outlet so they hide it while you're using them. Hollow boxes hide your entire outlet at once, and they usually have a discreet hole in the side for cables in case you need to use it. Use a hollow box if you want to cover the entire outlet while preventing others from touching it.  If you're hiding an outdoor outlet, you can also buy hollow boxes that look like rocks. You can buy hollow boxes from most hardware or home improvement stores. With a hinged cover, you can keep the outlet hidden when you're not using it without compromising its function. Purchase a hinged cover from a hardware store or online and snap it over the outlet panel. To further hide the outlet, purchase a decorative hinged cover. Some hinged covers look like small paintings or have an artistic design. Pop-out and hinged outlets disguise the outlet with the wall until touched. Contact an electrician to determine which type is best for your wall and replace your old outlet with one that's easier to hide.  Pop-out outlets, as the name suggests, are hidden in the wall until...

This helps to make your room look cohesive and elegant. Decide what colours you want to use and then add accessories accordingly. For example, if you want a red, yellow, and white colour scheme, you could opt for white walls, yellow cushions and throws, and a red comforter on your bed.  Avoid using lots of colours, as this can make your room look cluttered and overwhelming. If you don’t want to have a colour theme, opt for a style theme instead, such as beachy, vintage, minimal, or boho. Use this theme to help you choose your bedroom accessories. Fairy lights instantly create a chill mood in your room – especially at night! Use small hooks or sticky-tak to attach the fairy lights to your walls or ceilings. If you aren’t allowed to attach things to your walls, consider draping the string of lights over your curtain rail, dresser, or headboard to create a similar effect.  Opt for yellow lights to create a warm feeling or white lights to create a pretty, starry look. Purchase fairy lights after Christmas to get a great deal. Photos are a great inexpensive way to personalise your room and provide constant reminders of special memories. Place your photos in frames, peg them to a string and hang it up in your room, or simply sticky-tak them to the wall. Your friends will love seeing pictures of themselves on your wall!  If you are sticking the photos to the wall, consider placing them in a shape, such as a heart, circle, or diamond. Replace old photos with new photos occasionally to keep them up to date. If you’re creating a vintage theme in your room, search thrift stores for old photo frames. This is a great way to set the mood for a movie night or a cosy girls night. Try adding desk lamps, lava lamps, floor lamps, or moon lamps to your room. Choose bulbs that are bright enough to allow you to see your friends' faces, as this will stop people getting too sleepy.  Search thrift stores, garage sales, or online auctions for inexpensive vintage lamps. If you don’t have power outlets in the right places, utilise...

Determine what the general field of knowledge you will require to get it answered. For example, if you have a question about your computer, you will want tech experts to help. If your question is related to home improvement, you will want information from contractors. Once you know the general field, look at your question and figure out what niche you fit into. In every general category, there are a variety of sub-fields. For example, if your tech question is about using Windows, you'll want to focus on Windows experts. If your question is about a specific program in Windows, such as Photoshop, you'll want to find Photoshop experts as opposed to Windows experts. Enter in the category you need into a Google search and add the word "forum". For example, if you need to ask Photoshop questions, search for "Photoshop forum". Almost all forums will require you to register for a free account before you can post. beyond forums, you may be able to find more immediate responses by joining a chat room dedicated to your topic. The most popular chat room network is Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which contains a staggering number of chat rooms for just about any topic imaginable. For more information on using and navigating IRC, see this guide. There are several sites that allow you to post any question in the hopes that you will get it answered. These sites can be good for general questions, but you are less likely to get a quality answer from an expert in the field. Take all responses with a grain of salt. Popular sites include:  Stack Exchange Ask.com Yahoo Answers Quora Wiki Answers Every community on the internet has its own style and set of rules (both written and unwritten). Spend some time reading through other posts before making your own. This will help you learn the etiquette for that specific forum. Knowing how to ask your question in a way that fits in with that culture can really help you get the answers you need.

TL;DR in English: Examine your question. Break down the general field into a specific niche. Search for forums related to the field you need. Find a chat room dedicated to your topic. Use popular question-asking sites. Learn the culture of the forum.

Layering is a key tip in pulling off street-style. Carefully chosen basics are powerful fashion staples because you can combine them in many different ways. A nice t-shirt or tank top may not be much on its own, but throw on a nice blazer or cardigan and you'll be getting somewhere. Remember: casual chic is about being relaxed but still stylish, and layering allows you to feel comfortable but still mix and match unique styles. 1-2 nice, light jackets can allow you to wear your t-shirts out to many occasions and still look good. Blacks, grays, whites, and tans are your friends here – they can be easily mixed and matched with other colors and accessories. Casual chic isn't so much about making an eye-popping statement as it is about looking relaxed and comfortable with your style. Using muted or neutral colors as your base opens you up for bigger splashes of color down the road. While you don't want to wear your old lacrosse warm-up shirt, a few nice graphic tees are essential to casual chic. Make sure they don't have any stains, that they fit you well, and that they haven't become discolored with age. Tees can be easily mixed and matched with other pieces, and the logos or designs can be tailored to fit your interests. You can also learn to dress up your t-shirts in interesting ways that show off even more of your personality. Not only does this allow you to look casual chic all year, it gives you the chance to personalize and "upgrade" your tees and tanks quickly and easily.  A sweater, usually bigger or baggier is better. A denim shirt/jacket A flannel shirt A form-fitting blazer in white or gray. 2-3 cardigans in various colors. Button ups are great because they look dressed-up, but can still be worn completely casually. Try to find one that fits your well and open up the top 1-2 buttons. You can leave it untucked with a nice pair of jeans and touch it up with an accessory or two for effortless casual chic.

TL;DR in English: Think about wearing layers, not individual pieces. Aim for neutral colors. Get a few nice t-shirts. Invest in some jackets, sweaters, and overlayers. Try out some button-up shirts.

There are numerous websites that specialize in how-to articles. They usually want experts in a particular field who can edit existing articles and publish new ones. If you are an expert in a particular field, consider applying to one of these sites for the opportunity to earn money writing about something you know. You may not need any particular expertise to write for a how-to site. It may require you to develop research skills and become an authority on certain topics quickly. With good research skills, you can produce articles on several different topics. Several websites are dedicated to publishing articles about traveling in exotic and domestic locations. If you love to travel and want to share good stories and experiences, check if travel sites will pay you to write articles. The Expeditioner, for example, accepts submissions and will pay approximately $30 per article. Some websites pay for reviews of movies, plays, music and products. Earn money online by becoming a reviewer for these sites. Start at a website like Sponsored Reviews or Review Me to gain experience in this field. Independent and corporate bloggers who can't  keep up with the demand of writing regular posts are willing to pay good money for a ghostwriter. These jobs come on a case by case basis, or they can turn into a regular job if the blogger likes your work.  Keep an eye out on job sites for postings about this kind of work. You can also apply directly to a ghostwriting firm. Ghostwriters do not get credit for their work. This could potentially hurt you if ghostwriting is all you do, because you won't build a portfolio. Ideally, ghostwriting should be in addition to other writing work.

Consider adding pressed flowers, shells, or other decorations. For a simple touch, collage a few pictures. Don't be afraid to make it weird.

Communication is the process of transferring signals/messages between a sender and a receiver through various methods (written words, nonverbal cues, spoken words). It is also the mechanism we use to establish and modify relationships. Be confident in knowing that you can make worthwhile contributions to conversation. Take time each day to be aware of your opinions and feelings so you can adequately convey them to others. Individuals who are hesitant to speak because they do not feel their input would be worthwhile need not fear. What is important or worthwhile to one person may not be to another and may be more so to someone else. Developing advanced communication skills begins with simple interactions. Communication skills can be practiced every day in settings that range from the social to the professional. New skills take time to refine, but each time you use your communication skills, you open yourself to opportunities and future partnerships.

TL;DR in English: Know what communication really is. Have courage to say what you think. Practice.

If the scrub is effective, you should begin seeing signs of softer, smoother, more youthful skin fairly quickly. In which case, congratulations! You have uncovered the best product for exfoliating your skin. These are indications of an allergy or sensitivity. If you experience these symptoms, you should discontinue use of this particular scrub immediately and select an alternative product. You might also consider asking your dermatologist to conduct a patch test to determine what exactly you might be allergic or sensitive to. It might take a few tries in order for you to find the ideal product for your skin type. Remember to be patient and watchful. You will find a good match eventually!

TL;DR in English: Pay close attention to your skin for the next few weeks. Watch for signs of redness, itching, or rash. Try out a different scrub if you are unhappy with your first attempt.

You can't use a pen with a plastic tip to make a pipe because plastic melts and releases toxic smoke when it burns. Only use a pen with a metal tip that can be unscrewed to reduce the odds that you unnecessarily expose yourself to dangerous chemicals when you smoke.  You can use a pen with a metal tip and a plastic case, but it's better if the case is made out of metal as well. The tip of the pen is the small metal cone that surrounds the point when you're writing.

TL;DR in English: Find a metal pen with a removable cartridge and metal tip.

If you're going to start a topic, explain it till the end. Music theory can seem vast and confusing; even the most diverse topics are somehow interrelated. Explain why and how they may be relevant and give lots of examples.

The outside of the card is where you'll do the most adornment. Pick a theme based on the season, the occasion, or the person you're making the card for.  Pressed flowers that you lightly glue to the card can make wonderful and eye-popping 3D decorations in the springtime, sprucing up a card with a natural highlight of color. It's a great idea for people with a green thumb. You could also add shells to summertime cards for a unique touch. This works especially well for gift tags or other types of place cards. Saving old school books, kids' books, magazines, and newspapers can be a great source for making cards. If you don't have a big store of them laying around, hit up a local thrift shop for extremely cheap (or even free) piles of cut-up magazines that you can repurpose for your cards.  Nature magazines are a great source of card-material, as well as magazines that feature lots of advertisements. The high contrast colors in magazine ads look great when cut up for cards. For a real shortcut, you could even consider saving your old cards and cutting shapes from them to reuse in new cards. Repurpose those old Christmas cards you always recycle by cutting out the manger scene or the Christmas tree from the front and putting it front and center on your own card. No one will know the difference, and you'll save money. Quirky holiday cards are usually better received than deadly-serious ones. Little jokes, non-sequiters, or weird pictures of sea creatures should be welcomed and embraced in the card-making tradition.  Your family's never heard of the Hannukah Squid? Time to change your traditions. Cut out an idyllic holiday scene being attacked by floating clouds of squid with Santa hats and HAPPYNESS in all caps on the inside. The less sense, the better. Making something weird doesn't mean you should send a crude card to your mother-in-law for her favorite holiday, or that you should try to make a funny sympathy card, but you should send something that the receiver will appreciate. Know their sense of humor and...

. If another person is intentionally trying to hurt or upset you, it's important not to give them what they want. On the other hand, if they're not being intentionally hurtful, reacting with anger can escalate the situation unnecessarily. Even if you're furious, sad, or scared, do your best to appear calm and collected. You may find it helpful to:   Take deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Slowly count to 10 in your head. Keep your face neutral and expressionless. If someone's being rude or hurtful to you, you may feel the urge to lash out or strike back with harsh words of your own. However, doing so will probably only make the situation worse. Instead of blurting out the first thing that comes into your head in the heat of the moment, stop and think about whether what you want to say is necessary, true, or helpful. If not, don't say it!   Resist the urge to yell, cry, or insult the other person. Try gently biting your tongue or putting your finger to your lips if you feel tempted to snap back or speak before you think. If do you want to respond, but you need time to calm down and choose your words first, try saying, “Excuse me, I need a moment.” Step out of the room so you can calm down. If you're pretty sure the other person is intentionally bullying you or trying to hurt your feelings, simply walking away may be the best way to deal with the situation. This will let them know that you are not interested in engaging with their hurtful and inappropriate behavior.  If you feel comfortable doing so, calmly say something like, “Stop doing that,” or “The way you're acting is out of line. I'm leaving.” If you can't just walk away, use your actions to show the other person you're not willing to interact. For example, you might take out your phone and start playing a game, put in your earbuds, or turn away and talk to someone else who is with you. Sometimes ignoring somebody isn't the best reaction to hurtful behavior. For example, if the person who hurt you is a family member, friend, or...

Waking up early will ensure that you will have plenty of time to get ready and prepare for the day ahead. Waking up early in general can be correlated with better grades.  Set your alarm clock an hour earlier than you normally do so that you do not have to rush and can have a relaxing morning routine. Using an alarm clock will help wake you up at the desired time. If you have a phone, you can set an alarm using your iPhone or Android phone. This is generally done by using the default alarm application or downloading a third-party alarm application to use. Avoid hitting the snooze button. It’s an important day and you need to make sure that you are able to leave your house on time and not be late to your orientation. Eat breakfast. Brush your teeth.

Make sure that you are using unbleached cheesecloth for this. You can also use a clean towel instead. Make sure that the bowl is deep enough for the strainer and 1 cup (240 milliliters) worth of liquid. You can use homemade or store-bought yogurt. If you are using store-bought yogurt, make sure that it does not contain gelatin or pectin.  Make sure that you are using plain yogurt or kefir; do not use the flavored kind. This can take up to 24 hours. If you used yogurt, you'll be left with sour cream in the strainer. You can leave the bowl in the fridge longer as well; this will give you more whey and turn the yogurt into cream cheese. Save the solids in the cheesecloth. Depending on how long you strained the yogurt/kefir, you'll be left with Greek yogurt, sour cream, or cream cheese! At this point, your whey is complete. It has plenty of protein on its own, but if you want to get even more protein, you'll have to dehydrate it. Dehydrating will concentrate the whey by removing water from it. Fill the trays that came with your dehydrator with 1 cup (240 milliliters) of the liquid whey. Dehydrate the whey according to the instructions on your dehydrator. For most machines and dairy products, this will be 135°F (58°C). It will take about 12 hours for the dehydration to be complete. Pour all of the collected whey into a large pot. Bring the whey to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a steady boil. Allow it to cook until it turns into a thick, clumpy, curdle. Transfer it to a tray lined with parchment paper or wax paper, then let it cool. Break it into smaller pieces, and let it dry, about 24 hours. You can do this in a blender, coffee grinder, or food processor. Hand-processed whey may still feel damp at this point. If this happens to you, repeat the process: spread the whey out again, wait 24 hours, then grind it once more. Transfer the whey to a lidded container, such as a jar. Mix it into protein shakes or smoothies. You can also add it to baked recipes, such as muffins, cupcakes, or scones.

TL;DR in English: Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set it into a bowl. Scoop the yogurt or kefir into the lined strainer. Place the bowl into the fridge and let the liquid to drain from the yogurt. Pour the collected whey into a pitcher. Dehydrate the whey with a dehydrator, if you have one. Process the whey manually if you don't have a dehydrator. Blend the dried whey into a powder. Store and use the powdered whey.

Most toddlers will eat a variety of fruits, so try incorporating them into the daily diet as breakfast and snacks. Use vegetables in every lunch and dinner, and set a good example for your child by eating vegetables yourself as well. Children should have regular sources of lean protein, such as yogurt, fish, chicken, and some whole grains. Work within your child’s preferences but make it clear that protein is an important part of mealtime. Toddlers need fresh, healthful food to achieve and maintain an appropriate weight. If your child often eats take-out or packaged foods packed with fat, salt, sugar, and other non-nutritive ingredients, swap them out for carrot sticks, applesauce, strawberry slices, string cheese, and Cheerios. Toddlers need about half the calories of adults, so size portions accordingly. Try dividing the plate into segments: 1/2 vegetables and/or fruits, 1/4 whole grains, and 1/4 lean protein. Many toddlers love to drink fruit juices, but these are often loaded with calories and limited in nutritional value.  If your child drinks a lot of fruit juice (or any other sweetened drink), swap it out for milk or water. Juice, soda, and other sweetened drinks can add hundreds of calories to your toddler’s diet each day. Do not give your toddler drinks that serve as dietary supplements, such as PediaSure. These drinks are formulated for children with difficulty gaining weight or with restrictive diets. If your child eats well and is overweight, avoid high-calorie toddler drinks of this nature.

TL;DR in English: Focus on fruits and vegetables. Feed your toddler lean protein. Avoid fast food and junk food. Keep portions under control. Eliminate sugary drinks.

This should bring down the swelling, as it slows down blood flow to the area. Either apply ice directly to the pimple or cover it in a thin layer of gauze or towel. Some makeup experts claim that eye drops, at least the ones that reduce redness in the eyes, can be helpful in reducing redness and signs of irritation in acne. Drop a few eye-drops onto a cotton swab and apply as necessary onto the pimple(s). Because cold also helps reduce inflammation in acne, place the Q-Tip soaked in eye-drops into the freezer for an hour before applying. The cold Q-Tip will soothe as it reduces inflammation. Antihistamines suppress the swelling effect in the skin tissue of people. Most of these remedies can be ingested in pill form, but some can be consumed as tea or used as a topical agent. These should offer a reduction in redness. Natural herbal antihistamines include:  Stinging nettle. This may sound weird, because touching nettles in the wild can produce a rash not unlike small pimples. Some doctors, however, recommend taking a freeze-dried preparation of stinging nettle, which is known for its ability to reduce the amount of histamine the body produces.  Coltsfoot may be effective as a natural antihistamine. Europeans have a long history of using the plant to cure skin conditions. The leaves can either be ground up into a paste or coltsfoot extract can be ingested in pill form. Basil may also work as a natural antihistamine. Heat a couple sprigs of basil leaves up under some steam and apply gently to the hives. Basil may help reassure the body that the foreign agent causing the hives is not something it should be fighting.

TL;DR in English: Put ice on the affected area. Use eye-drops on the affected area. Try some natural antihistamines.

Set an 8 in (20 cm) nonstick skillet on the stove and put 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (14 g) of unsalted butter into it. Turn the burner to medium-high and tilt the pan a little so the butter coats the skillet as it melts. You could also use a seasoned carbon steel pan. Bring your serving plate over to the skillet. Slowly tilt the skillet up and over the plate so the rolled omelette lands on the plate seam-side down. Serve the omelette while it's hot. You could garnish it with more fresh herbs if you like.

TL;DR in English: Melt 1 tablespoon (14 g) of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Slide the rolled omelette onto a plate so the seam is facing down.

As CEO, you don’t get to sit in your cushy office and let your subordinates deal with everything but the most important decisions. Rather, an effective CEO is always in the thick of things: visiting every department, assisting with any task they are qualified to assist with, speaking to employees, and listening to their feedback.  Welcome everyone’s input—ask workers what they need, encourage suggestions for change and improvement, and make it clear that you take the employees seriously. However, always keep it clear that you are the final authority. Provide avenues for anonymous feedback—such as webforms or the old-fashioned suggestion box—but also give opportunities for employees to come in and talk to you directly. A CEO can’t be a good leader if other people don’t want to follow them. Employees want someone they can trust and respect leading the way. Stick to your principles, be true to your word, and treat others the way you wish to be treated. If, for example, you insist that inappropriate behavior won’t be tolerated, follow through and refuse to tolerate it. If you claim to care what other people think, listen to them when they have something to say. Show them that the company believes in them enough to let them keep trying until they make it–as long as they are good enough at their jobs to make it in a big way when they do. Encourage productivity by encouraging risk-taking and personal judgment calls. You always have the last word if something is a poor fit for the business.  To succeed in your job as the CEO, you must be willing to trust your people to do their jobs. Make sure you have the right people in the proper roles, then give them the space to support the greater good of the company. People who learn and improve from mistakes are in the right jobs; people who don’t need to be reassigned or replaced. As a CEO, you’ll be a natural target for criticism from people both inside and outside your business. Employees, board members, shareholders, analysts, and competitors will all express doubts and...

TL;DR in English: Talk and listen to workers to stay connected to the company. Earn trust and show respect so people want to follow you. Set high expectations for your workers, but accept mistakes. Develop a thick skin, but don’t ignore criticism.

If you're nervous about entering a party when you don't know anyone there, it's a good idea to calm yourself before trying to meet anyone. Take a deep breath, breathing all the way down to your belly, and breathing out slowly through your nose. Repeat this slow, deep breathing several times. Make sure your feet are placed firmly against the floor, so that you’re well-grounded.  Bring to mind a positive visualization. For example, imagine yourself looking sleek and sexy on the dance floor, or someone attractive laughing at your sense of humor. Realize that no one’s paying attention to you, so there’s no need to feel self-conscious. After all, most people attending parties are also nervous. Repeat this process anytime you start to feel nervous at the party. You may be feeling terrified, but if you smile you’re more likely to look confident. Even if you don't know anyone else at the party, you can increase your social abilities through smiling. In addition, if you're feeling nervous, smiling can help to improve your mood, and reduce stress.  People often respond to a smiling person with a smile of their own, which will make you feel even better. Even a slight smile will be enough to help your facial muscles relax, and your appearance seem less threatening to other party guests. When you look confident, you’ll start to feel confident. What kind of party is it? Social interactions will vary depending on the reason you’re gathered together. If you’re attending a frat party, you’ll need different social skills than you might at a Christmas carol party held by your mom’s church choir.  Remember that other people may not know one another either. Considering the nature of the party, try to gauge how likely it is that many people may be making their first introductions. It will help you feel at ease to figure out the physical layout of the party, if it’s unfamiliar to you. Figure out where the bathroom is, where the food is, where the drinks are, as a way to get comfortable at the party.  Making your way around the...

Know when to get medical attention. Understand lab tests for chikungunya. Rest. Take pain medication. Exercise. Use oils or creams for skin irritation. Try herbal remedies.

The flowchart map allows you to examine a process and see the multiple options for getting it done. The flowchart can be linear and can just flow from one concept to the next, but it can also have multiple elements for examining a variety of outcomes. The starting point can be a process or a problem that needs a solution. Let's use the starting point, "Lamp doesn't turn on". For the problem, "Lamp doesn't turn on," the most typical solution is that the lamp is not plugged in. Just write, "Lamp plugged in?" and connect it with an arrow to "Lamp doesn't turn on". Write a line from "Lamp plugged in?" that says "no" and another that says "yes." If you follow the line that says "no", then the response would be "Plug in lamp". Connect this response to "no" with a line. You've completed one flow of the concept, starting with "Lamp doesn't turn on" to "Plug in lamp". If you follow this "flow," then it should solve the problem. But if the lamp is plugged in, you'll follow "yes" to another option: "Bulb burned out?" This is the next logical solution. From the question, "Bulb burned out?" you'll need to branch out two terms: "yes" and "no" If the answer to "Bulb burned out" is "yes," then you'll need to connect this word to the solution, "Replace bulb", You've completed another flow of the concept, because this should fix the broken lamp. But if it turns out that the bulb is not burned out, you'll have to follow "no" to the last option: "Repair lamp". You have now completed a flowchart for the problem of a broken lamp, which will lead you to one of three solutions: plugging it in, replacing the bulb, or repairing the lamp.

TL;DR in English: Choose your starting point or problem. Write the easiest solution for the problem. Write the two results for this solution. Write the results for the next solution.

Most basement water problems aren't the result of problems in the basement, but the result of poor outdoor drainage. Before you go tearing up your basement, check to make sure you don't have other problems first.  Make sure your gutters are unclogged and free of leaves and other debris, and that water can flow easily through them into the downspouts.  Make sure your downspouts carry water far enough away from the house and that you're not getting back flow. The downspouts should dump water 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 m) away from the foundation. Make sure the soil around your foundation slopes at least a couple of feet away from the house. If you've got pits that catch the water and force it downward, you might have problems getting water in your basement. Correct these issues before thinking about a sump. Most homes built in the last thirty years have foundations built upon a certain amount of gravel to correct for inconsistencies in the excavation process. If you've got contact with the builder of the home, you should be able to figure this out, or ask neighbors with similar homes whether or not this is the case. You might not know this until you break through the floor, which is another reason you want to explore alternatives before you get in over your head. You'll want to place the sump near a wall in the basement, since the sump pump discharge will need to exit the basement and travel at least 10 feet (3.0 m) outside to discharge.  Look for a spot that will be easy to work in, and where you can punch a hole through a rim joist to reach outside. Stay at least 8" away from the foundation wall, to avoid hitting any footings. Make sure you're not going to cut into the waterline. If the water enters your home through the wall, you'll be fine, but check the building codes in your area to make sure where the line will be if it comes in under the home. Typically, the pipes will run from the street, 4–6 feet (1.2–1.8 m) away from the sewer pipe. Leave a 3–4 inch (7.6–10.2 cm) gap around the liner to make it easier to fit...

TL;DR in English: Check out your basement during a good rain. Determine if you've got a gravel foundation under your concrete floor. Look to see if you have a good location for a sump. Trace the outline of the sump liner on the floor.

When you’re nervous, your muscles lock up and your breathing gets irregular, which can negatively impact your performance. To counteract this, close your eyes and take big, deep breaths to relax. Hold the breath for 3-5 seconds, then slowly let it out. Stage fright is natural, and something that many performers struggle with. One thing not to do when you’re nervous is to run away from the feeling—that makes it seem even scarier. Instead, take a step back and look at your anxiety objectively. Tell yourself your nerves are normal and OK to have, and that they can even make you a better performer!  Being nervous isn’t something to be afraid of. It might not feel comfortable, but you know you’re strong enough to handle the discomfort and perform your best anyway. For example, you could tell yourself, “This is a big recital, so of course I’m nervous. That’s OK. I’m going to perform the best I can anyway.” with focused, positive thoughts about the performance. Being nervous means that you have adrenaline coursing through your body, and that can be a good thing before a big performance. Instead of allowing that adrenaline to run wild and make you nervous and worried, focus it into positive thoughts and actions to boost your confidence.  For example, you could channel your adrenaline into physical movement, such as drumming your fingers or nodding your head. You could also walk or even dance around to get out your jitters. Mentally, use your energy to acknowledge your worried thoughts, then turn towards excited, upbeat ones. Think about how hard you’ve worked for this, how excited you are, and how ready you feel. Many performers find that some healthy pre-show jitters give them the burst of adrenaline they need to give an amazing show. Embrace your nerves as a way to help you perform your best. Bad nerves can sometimes send you into a worry spiral that’s hard to break out of. Stop the cycle before it starts by first noticing when you begin to worry. Stop yourself and accept that you feel nervous, but that that...

TL;DR in English: Breathe deeply to calm your body. Allow yourself to acknowledge and accept the nerves. Control your adrenaline Cut off repetitive worrying when you notice it. Try positive visualization and meditation to relax. Turn your nerves into enthusiasm once you’re onstage.

Shy guys may not feel comfortable making the first moves in a relationship.  Instead of waiting for him to ask you out or to lean in first for a kiss, you make the first move.  He may not feel comfortable taking the lead in these situations and you doing this will help take the pressure off him. Figuring out what to do on a date with a shy guy requires some thought.  You’ll need to make an effort to make him comfortable.  Shy guys usually prefer low-key dates where they can relax and open up slowly over ones where they feel pressured to be outgoing.  Opt for dates like staying in and watching a movie or spending an afternoon at the driving range, instead of inviting him out to a packed bar with a big group of friends.  Dates that provide some kind of activity and don’t focus solely on talking can help him relax.  Dates on which he has the opportunity to teach you a skill he’s good at are also a good idea.  Not only will the two of you bond over the activity, but he’ll likely get a boost of confidence by teaching you. When you’re dealing with a shy guy, you will probably need to put in a majority of the effort needed to keep the conversation going.  This can be tough when your guy isn’t naturally chatty.  To help encourage him to provide more than just a quick, one word answer, ask him open-ended questions and avoid those that can be answered with a “yes” or “no.” For example, asking questions like, “How did you become such a great guitar player?” rather than, “Do you like playing the guitar?” will encourage him to share more details about himself. Although it might be easy for you to talk about what you like to do, a shy guy may have trouble adding to that conversation.  Try talking about topics he’s interested in and avoid topics that might make him uncomfortable, causing him to clam up.  For instance, your guy probably won’t have much to say about your recent experience at the nail salon, but he’ll likely have quite a bit to say about the band you guys saw after dinner the other night.  Talk about topics...

TL;DR in English: Make the first move. Plan dates where he can relax. Ask open-ended questions. Pick the right topic. Try different methods of communication. Praise his efforts.

Your doctor can collect blood samples to test for chikungunya and other mosquito-borne diseases. You should see your doctor if you experience any of the following:  Fever for more than five days or above 103 °F (39°C) Dizziness (possibly due to a neurological issue or dehydration) Cold fingers or toes (Raynaud's) Bleeding from mouth or under skin (this can be Dengue) Rash Joint pain, redness, stiffness, or swelling Low urine output (this can be from dehydration that can lead to kidney damage) Your doctor will take blood samples to send to labs. Several tests or methods will be run on the samples for diagnosis. ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoassay) will look for specific antibodies against the virus. These antibodies normally develop toward the end of the first week of illness and peak around three to weeks lasting up to two months. If they are negative, your doctor may repeat the blood test to see if they have risen.  Viral cultures will also look for growth. These are usually used within the first 3 days of illness, when the virus is rapidly growing.  RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) methods use virus-specific gene coding proteins to replicate specific genes of chikungunya. If it is chikungunya, then the lab will see higher than normal chikungunya genes displayed on a computerized graph. There is no approved/specific treatment or cure for this virus nor a vaccine to prevent you from getting it. Treatment is purely symptom management. The World Health Organization recommends that you start home care treatment by resting. This will provide relief and time for your body to recover. Rest in an environment that is not damp or too hot, which could aggravate your joint symptoms. Apply a cold pack to reduce pain and inflammation. You can use a bag of frozen vegetables, packaged steak, or an ice pack. Wrap the frozen back in a towel and apply it to painful areas. Avoid applying a frozen pack or ice directly to your skin, which could cause tissue damage. If you're experiencing fever and joint pain,...

Most Fourth of July nails require some time and effort, including applying different coats and using a few different tools, like a striper and dotting tool. If you don’t have the time or the tools, use a Fourth of July nail sticker kit for a cute but lower-effort look.  With a nail kit, you’ll paint one solid color and stick patriotic stickers on top. Many kits come with simple stars and stripes as well as “USA” stickers and other patriotic designs. You can buy a kit online or at craft and beauty stores. Follow the instructions in the kit to apply and remove your nail stickers.

TL;DR in English: Buy a nail sticker kit for an easier application.

Before leaving, make sure that your cat is ready. Groom him by brushing his fur and, if need be, clip his front claws so that he does not scratch you or the vet. To help your cat stay clean and comfortable, be prepared.  Pack plastic bags for waste disposal, and mild disinfecting wipes and small towels for cleanup. Pack a large towel to cover the carrier while among crowds or in the waiting room. Pack your cat's favorite treats and some of his favorite toys. You can even place one inside the carrier to help him feel even safer. If you are driving to the vet's office, obey all traffic laws, maintain the speed limit, and avoid sharp turns. If the trip is long, make sure she has an area inside where she can relieve herself. The shredded newspapers work well as litter while you're on the road. Bring extra newspaper. Cover the carrier, or keep the carrier covered, with the towel once you are in the waiting room.  Do not take your cat out of the carrier unless it needs to be cleaned. Other animals in the waiting room might incite your cat to pounce at or scratch them. If your cat seems happy without the towel, then do not use it but keep in on hand, just in case. Once your cat survives the waiting room and is called in to the see the vet, it is important that you continue to soothe any anxiety she may feel.  Continue to speak soothingly to her, especially if the carrier is covered. She needs to know that you are close. Ask the vet for the best way to remove your cat from the carrier. Once inside, she might be just as afraid to come out as she was to go in. Very gently and while speaking soothingly, reach inside the carrier to remove your cat. Set her on the table, if you are instructed do so. Follow the vet's instructions for how to handle your cat. If asked to hold him down firmly, do so without undue pressure. If you are unsure how to do this, ask the vet or her assistant (if present) for help.

TL;DR in English: Prepare your cat for his visit. Bring necessary items. Gently carry your cat into the office. Keep your cat comfortable during visit. Remove the cat from the carrier.

Hold the puzzle as evenly as possible to prevent twisting the puzzle the wrong way while you work. Align the puzzle horizontally before you begin twisting it, with both ends of the P-shaped rings facing outwards. The two Ps should make something resembling a "W" shape before you begin twisting them. Then, loop the right ring around the upper "P" loop of the left ring. Your two P-shaped rings should look stacked on top of each other and mirroring each other at the loops. The rings should resemble a heart shape at this stage. As you string the right ring through the left loop, it should slide off once you reach the bottom end. Once the two rings are separated, you have completed the puzzle. Set them down somewhere you won't forget to prevent losing them. To prevent losing either ring and to put the puzzle together again, insert one ring through the top loop of the other ring. Pull the first ring all the way through the second ring, then turn the second ring up to secure both in place.

TL;DR in English: Grab one end of each P-shaped ring with both of your hands. Turn your left P-shaped ring down. Pull the right ring from the top and through the left loop. Slide one ring through the "P" loop of the other ring to reset the puzzle.

If you have pine trees nearby, gather four or five dozen round pinecones. Long pinecones can be used, but they don’t fit the wreath shape as well. Look for ones that are not broken and are not totally covered in sap.  For a quicker solution, go to the hobby store and buy some pine cones which are used for crafts. For pinecones from outdoors, baking them in the oven at 200℉ (93℃) for about 20 minutes kills any bugs they may house and crystallizes the pine tar for a shiny look. Buy a circular foam wreath form from the craft store or your local big-box store. Use brown or copper metallic craft paint or spray paint to cover the entire surface of the foam. This keeps the white of the foam from showing through.  If you don’t mind seeing the foam, or you want to spray paint the entire wreath after assembly, you don’t have to paint it now. Be sure to lay down newspaper and spray paint outside to avoid getting paint on anything in your house. Sort through the pinecones and look for any that still have small stems attached to the bottom. Break or cut the stems off of the pinecones so that the bottom of the pinecone is mostly flat. This makes it easier to glue them to the wreath form. Plug in your hot glue gun and insert a stick of glue. Give the gun a few minutes to warm up. Be sure to set the gun on a covered surface so you don’t get drops of glue on anything.  The exact shape of the bottom of each cone will determine how much glue you need to use. If the bottom is dipped in, place a ring of glue around the dip rather than filling the dip. If the bottom of the pinecone is slightly pointy, you may need to cut it a bit so that it becomes flat. Lay the form flat on the table and glue a ring of pinecones onto it. Then glue some more pinecones more toward the inside of the wreath form, and another ring toward the outside of the form. Place them tightly together and fill any bare spots with extra pinecones. As you go, make sure that each pinecone stays attached. You may need to add more glue or hold the pinecone in place...

TL;DR in English: Select short, round pinecones. Paint the foam form with brown metallic paint. Remove all of the stems from the pinecones. Place a dot of hot glue on the bottom of the pinecone. Attach the pinecones around the foam wreath form. Add another layer of pinecones. Decorate the wreath.

Both you and your partner are going to have to do some compromising for the relationship to work. Figure out what’s important to you and communicate about that. Keep in mind, however, that it’s important to know the difference between healthy and unhealthy compromises.  For example, if dance is important to you, you could say: “Dance is important to me, and it would mean a lot if you could come to my recitals.” You should do the same for your partner in return by supporting their hobbies. If they attend your dance recitals, then cheer them on during their sports game. You may have to compromise on dates. For example, you could see his choice of movie,  but then go to the restaurant that you want. This one is crucial for a healthy relationship. If you’ve committed to being someone’s girlfriend, that generally means that you’ve committed to being romantic only with them until you break up. Avoid flirting or otherwise being romantic with other people.  Some people prefer open relationships where it’s okay to be romantic or sexual with more than one person. This takes a lot of maturity and communication from all parties. Never assume a relationship is open without talking about it first. Though flirting with someone else is not technically cheating, it can make some people jealous. Avoid doing this in front of your partner out of respect. If you find yourself tempted to cheat, you may not be ready for a relationship, or this may not be the right person for you right now. If you like someone enough to be their girlfriend, you hopefully like them enough to be their friend, too. Friends know how to have fun together and support each other. Keep those things at the center of your relationship, even though it’s now romantic.  Ask your partner how their day was. Check in with them when they’re sick or struggling. Send them cute notes and make sure they know you care. Keep doing things you enjoy together. Just because you’re a couple doesn’t mean that you have to spend all of your time making out. Don’t assume your...

When you have to pass over a section of hair several times to straighten it, unnecessary damage occurs. To avoid this, set your flat iron to the correct temperature for your hair type and allow it to completely preheat before using it.  For natural hair, set you flat iron between 300℉ and 350℉. For fine hair, set your straightener at 360℉ or below. For medium or wavy hair, keep your straightening iron between 360℉ and 380℉. For thick and coarse hair, set your flat iron between 380 and 410℉. While your flat iron preheats, take a moment to separate your hair into manageable sections. Part your hair in half, from the top of your forehead to the base of your skull. Depending on the thickness of your hair, divide each half into 2 or more layers. Clip the layers to keep them separate. Unclip one of the lower layers of hair. Grab a ½ inch to 2 inch section of hair and place the flat iron ½ inch from the roots. Smoothly and swiftly pull the straightener down the length of the hair. If necessary, run the straightener down the section of hair again. Repeat this process on the lower layers of your hair. Put a fine-tooth comb below the flat iron and pull it down with the flat iron so you don't accidentally go over the same section of hair twice. Unclip 1 of the 2 top layers of hair. Grab a ½ inch to 2 inch section of hair and pull the it away from your scalp. Place the straightener as close to the roots as possible. Quickly pull the flat iron outwards and down the length of the hair. If necessary, straighten this section of hair again. Repeat this process on the remaining hair in the top layers.. Complete your sleek look by coating your straight locks with a shine serum. In addition to adding a gorgeous sheen to your hair, shine serums control frizz and smooth strands. When applying this product, follow the instructions on the bottle.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your flat iron. Divide your hair into sections. Straighten the lower layers of your hair. Straighten the top layer of your hair. Apply a shine-serum to your straight locks.

Exercise is great for you both physically and mentally. You are doing something good for your body, and you are focusing your mind on something other than the guy. The endorphins produced from exercising will also boost your mood. Choose a method of exercise that you enjoy most. It could be running, yoga, basketball, or even taking a nice walk through the park. Ask a friend to exercise with you. Meeting new people and being exposed to new activities is a great way to take your mind off of the situation. Figure out ways to fill up the time, and it will become easier to move on. Join a sports team, take an art class, or volunteer within your community. Use this time to learn about and practice something you enjoy. It’s good to spend some time reflecting, but don’t let your emotions keep you holed up at home. Plan a trip to the park, beach, or go to a museum. You could even do something as simple as a picnic in the park with friends.. You don’t have to do this if you don’t feel you’re ready. But if you’re up to it, the best way to get over a guy is to see who else is out there. You could talk to a guy at a class you attend, try out an online dating service, or have a friend introduce you to someone. You don’t have to continue talking to anyone that you don’t like, and it’s perfectly okay to decide you need more time after you give it a try.

TL;DR in English: Get some exercise. Take up a new hobby. Plan a day out. Meet other guys.

The amount you sweat after eating can signal whether you are having a normal reaction to spicy or rich food, or whether you have a medical condition that needs treatment. For example, a small amount of sweat after eating something spicy is perfectly normal. However, if the amount of sweat you produce is drenching and dripping and it continues after the heat has dissipated, then the sweating may be connected to a medical condition.  Make sure to see a doctor if sweating disrupts your daily routine or if it causes you emotional distress or social withdrawal. You should also see a doctor if you suddenly begin to sweat more than usual or if you experience night sweats for no apparent reason. The medical conditions that can cause gustatory sweating include Frey syndrome and advanced diabetes. A common symptom of gustatory sweating is profuse sweating around the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, and ears after eating spicy, salty, sour, or sweet foods. You may also experience a flushed face and profuse sweating along your hairline and at the back of your neck.  Gustatory sweating can also occur at the top of the chest, usually right on the sternum. The flushed areas on your face may feel warm as well. There may be certain foods, eating times, or other factors that are causing you to sweat profusely. If you have noticed that you are sweating excessively during meals, you should start to keep track of what you are eating, what time you are eating, and if there are any other conditions that could cause sweating. For example, list any other illnesses you are suffering from. After keeping track of your episodes, you may find that there are specific foods that cause the sweating to occur. However, it is possible that your condition is more generalized and that food in general causes you to sweat excessively. Once you have identified some foods that may be causing your sweating, try cutting them out of your diet. Changing your diet can often have a positive effect on the severity of your symptoms. Continue to keep track of...

TL;DR in English: Assess the severity of your sweating. Take note of sweating around your head and a flushed face. Identify trigger foods or other potential causes. See if avoiding certain foods helps.

You should always check a contractor’s online reputation by doing a general Google search. Also look for review sites and analyze whether a lot of people have complained of being ripped off.  You can also check with your local Better Business Bureau or your state’s consumer protection agency to see whether the contractor has a long list of complaints filed against them.  Take anonymous reviews with a grain of salt. Anonymous reviews could be posted by a contractor’s competitors or by people with a grudge. Not every state requires contractors to be licensed, but you should check with your local building department to ask. If your state requires that contractors be licensed, then ask the contractor if they are licensed and when.  Also double check to confirm the contractor is licensed. If your state requires a license, then there should be a website you can search. Go online and search “your state” and “contractor license.” In Washington, for example, you can search at the state’s Department of Labor and Industries website.  At the same website, you may also be able to check whether the contractor is bonded and has insurance. A legitimate contractor should have both. You shouldn’t hire a contractor without speaking to them. Instead, make a quick call to everyone on your list. Ask the following questions, at a minimum:  How long have they been in business? Does the contractor accept projects like yours (size, type, location, etc.)? How many projects do they have ongoing right now? How do they select subcontractors, and how long have they worked with them? Can the contractor work around your schedule? For example, you might not want anyone in your house before 9:00 am or after 6:00 pm. It’s best to know this information ahead of time.  Can they provide you with an itemized bid?  Is this bid an estimate or a fixed price? What kinds of insurance do they carry? A contractor should carry workers’ compensation, personal liability, and property damage coverage. Can they provide you with certificates of insurance?...

TL;DR in English: Check online reviews. Confirm the contractor is licensed. Ask a contractor questions in a phone interview. Meet with three contractors. Call references. Visit jobs in progress.

Talk to a psychologist about trying exposure therapy. Practice exposure therapy. Ask your loved one to help you practice exposure therapy.

Consider this if you have books ranging from trade paperbacks to oversize art albums. Place the tallest books on the lowest shelf, placing smaller and smaller books as you move upward. This creates a tidy, organized appearance. On some bookcases, this is a necessity to adapt to the height of each shelf. This system looks great, but are best used if you have only one bookcase. In larger collections, they can make a book difficult to find. In addition, you need to consider that you may have to split books from a series, when they do not have the same colour. Here are a few sorting systems based on spine color:  One color per shelf (a blue shelf, a green shelf, and so on). If you're having trouble filling a shelf, wrap some of the books in kraft paper.  A gradual "rainbow" flowing from one color to the next, or from the most saturated colors to pastels. A pattern that creates a flag or other simple image when the whole bookcase is filled. This is time-consuming, but impressive. This is a great system if you consult your books frequently for research or reference. Keep the ones you use daily on the shelf at eye height. and a couple shelves below, where you can easily see and reach them. Books you only use occasionally go on the lowest shelves. Books that you almost never open go on the shelves above your head. If you have enough books to fill two or three bookcases, fill the most visible bookcase with the important books. If you have an even larger collection, this system may not work well. If you have a large number of books you'd like to read, why not give them their own shelf? Keep an empty shelf on the same bookcase so you can slot the finished books back easily. You might want to revisit your organization once you're through your reading list, but this can be convenient in the meantime. Fill the top shelf with books you read in early childhood, and move down adding books in the rough order you discovered them. This one works best for books with strong associated memories – and for people with strong memories...

TL;DR in English: Sort by size. Place books based on color. Arrange by frequency of use. Divide based on your reading plans. Create a chronology of your life. Reserve a shelf for your favorites.

The first step in getting to know a potential friend is to strike up a conversation. Believe it or not, very interesting conversations can start up with, "The weather is sure cold!". Another way is to find out a little bit about them and their interests. Once you get started on an interesting topic, the rest will come naturally.  Try making a general comment or asking a question about something generic, just to break the ice. For example, "Great party, huh?" or "How do you know John?" Try to listen more than you talk. Show that you're interested in what they have to say. Even if you find their speech boring, try to appear concentrated in order to not hurt the other's feelings. Find out about their interests and hobbies. If you can find something you have in common, the conversation will flow more freely. If you hit it off with someone, make sure to get their contact information before you part ways, you'll need it if you want to organize to meet up with them again.  Get their phone number or email address, or ask if they're on Facebook. It doesn't matter as long as you have a way of reaching out to them. Be sure to give them your contact details too. They might just invite you to do something fun. Here is where a lot of people falter. It's fun to meet people once and make friends with them on Facebook afterwards, but you won't develop a true friendship unless you take the next step and invite them to hang out. Hang outs are not necessarily about going to Starbucks and buying a Coffee Espresso for both of you! Try new and fun ideas, like consider going on a long-drive if you have a car  You don't need to invite them to do anything special, just ask them if they'd like to go for a drink or hang out at the beach. Even if they can't make it, they'll probably be flattered you asked. Try again in a week or so. Let them have their space otherwise they will think you are too clingy. It's good to make your own plans to meet up with people, but if you get an invitation it's even better. Think of it as an easy...

TL;DR in English: Start a conversation. Get their contact information. Invite them to hang out. Accept every invitation. Give the relationship time to grow.

When performing, don’t choose the person who’s overly excited at the prospect of being read. Also, avoid picking the super shy person hiding out near the back. Select someone who falls somewhere in between those extremes. This person is engaged and paying attention, but not jumping up and down with excitement.  The people who are overly eager to participate are usually just seeking attention for themselves. You don’t want to perform with someone who is trying to upstage you. The very shy people don’t want to be involved and are generally not very enjoyable to perform with. Body language is nonverbal communication transmitted through movement. Certain movements can give you helpful clues about a person’s current mental state. This is very helpful when you're performing. For example, if someone is fidgeting with their hands, shaking their leg or tapping their toes, this usually indicates anxiety, irritation or boredom.  Being able to read body language is a useful skill to have when you're playing other kinds of games, too. For example, card games. Good posture and standing up straight communicates confidence and alertness; slouching indicates shyness, sadness or a lack of confidence. Pay attention to your own body language as well. Stand up straight and look the person directly in the eye. Avoid fidgeting. During a performance, watch the muscles around their eyes and mouth for clues. When the muscles around the mouth are pulled back, the eyebrows are lifted and/or the forehead is wrinkled, this usually means the person is afraid, nervous or lying about something. When you’re performing, remember these tips for yourself, as well.  Control your facial muscles as much as you can so that you won’t give anything away. This skill is also very useful for card games. Avoid making any extra facial movements, such as eye rolling, that can communicate negativity and judgement.

TL;DR in English: Pick the right person. Pay attention to body language. Monitor facial expressions.

It's best to can food that you like. There's no point in canning gallons of something you don't like or your family won't eat, unless you plan on giving your canned goods as gifts or selling them. If you grow your own fruits and vegetables, choose a food you have a lot of. If your peach tree has been particularly fruitful this year,  can your peaches rather than the two strawberries your plant produced this season. Canning is a great way to preserve those extra tomatoes or apples at their peak. Some foods require more handling, time, and processing than others. If you're just beginning to can, start with one batch of tomatoes or jam, not 40 pounds of apples. You can always do more as you grow comfortable with the process and decide you like it. Remember that while cherries can be canned, you'll have to take out every pit first. Fruits and vegetables should be firm and ripe, free of bad spots and mold. Foods need not be beautiful to can them. If you are growing or buying tomatoes, you may find yourself with "process tomatoes" (tomatoes with more bulges and seams than might sell well in the supermarket) or pickling cucumbers.

TL;DR in English: Choose what food you will can. Start with something fairly simple if you've never canned before. Choose food in good condition.

Exposure therapy is when a person is exposed to the thing they fear the most, but within a safe and supportive setting. In the case of ASAD, you would have to face your fears of separation. To do this, you would very gradually expose yourself to the anxiety provoking situation—such as being away from your home or loved ones—for short periods of time. A psychologist or trained therapist can develop a specific exposure therapy program that can help you overcome your anxiety. If your doctor or therapist decides that exposure therapy is a good idea for you, and you are ready to try it, there are several techniques you can use. For instance, you might start just by thinking about being separated from your home or loved ones, and describe how you feel. Later, you might practice being separated from your loved ones or being away from home for periods of time that increase in length, and then discuss how you felt. Even short-term exposure therapy treatments (three to six sessions) can help ease your anxiety. If your therapist approves, asking your loved one to help you can make the therapy process easier. To begin, have your loved one go into a different room while you practice calming techniques, such as breathing exercises, or work on banishing anxious thoughts. Gradually increase the distance and time that you spend away from your loved one.

TL;DR in English:


Different insects live in different places, and there are certain circumstances where it is more likely to be bitten by each of them.  If you were outdoors, and perhaps near a wooded area, you were probably bitten by a mosquito, tick, or spider. If you were near food or garbage, you may have been bitten by a fly, or stung by a bee or wasp. If you were indoors, sitting somewhere or playing with a pet, it may be fleas. In the United States, scorpions are only found in the South and Southwest, particularly Texas and Arizona. Scorpion stings are extremely painful, and most of the time they are easy to rule out. If you were bitten in the southeastern part of the United States by a fly-like creature whose sting feels like a mosquito bite, it may be a deer fly. If you were bitten in your bed while sleeping, it may be bedbugs. If you were bitten on the beach, particularly in the southeast, it may be sand fleas. This is the most common visible symptom of an insect bite, and depending on other symptoms could be from a variety of insects.  A single bite mark is probably from a mosquito or fly. You may notice a tiny bite mark in the center of the mound of a mosquito bite.  Flea bites are a number of small, itchy mounds grouped together. You will probably find them in areas where your clothes fit tightly to your body, such as around your waist. Bedbug bites will be itchy red bumps, maybe with a blister, grouped in rows of two or three. Other types of bites or stings involve the swelling of the skin around the bite area.  Fire ant bites will cause swelling (as much as 1/2 inch) and will fill with pus. They may blister over after a few days.  Scorpion stings can cause swelling, as well as redness of the skin and pain or numbness in the area. Scorpion stings can be very dangerous, and they make most people very ill. Call emergency services or seek medical treatment right away if you suspect a scorpion sting. Stings from these insects will cause an immediate sharp or burning pain and swelling. They will leave a red welt...

TL;DR in English: Figure out where you were when bitten. Look for a small, itchy, red mound. Look for swelling. Check for bee and wasp stings. Look for ticks. Check for head lice.  Rule out serious spider bites. Look for the insect.

If you’ve just gotten paint on your skin and it hasn’t yet had time to dry, treat the area right away. Once the paint has begun to set up, it will harden and solidify in place, making it much harder to remove. Paint that is still wet should wash away without much trouble. This is especially important for bigger spills, as they will be more unsightly and harder to get out once they dry. Run some warm water over the affected area. The heat of the water will loosen paint that has begun to dry, and much of it should wash away on its own. Rinsing the skin also weakens the paint’s hold as the skin grows slippery.  You may be able to completely get rid of fresh paint spots this way. Acrylic paint is a water-based emulsion, meaning they are designed to be soluble in water. Mix a mild hand soap or liquid detergent under with the water until it creates a lather. Wash the area thoroughly, applying firm pressure with the hand or washcloth. Regular dish soaps are ideal for this type of job, as they contains abrasive elements and compounds that cut through dried-on stains. If the soap and water successfully take out the paint stain on the first try, dry the area and call it a day. Otherwise, you may need to make another pass until the remaining paint fades and washes away. Try soaping up again. The surfactants in the soap combined with repeated scrubbings should be able to get out whatever’s left.

TL;DR in English: Treat the paint spot immediately. Rinse the spot with warm water. Use a mild soap to wash the area. Repeat and dry.

Wearing a shirt or sweater to hide your hickey may be the easiest way to protect your love bite from the world. Whether you're a male or female, here are a few things you can try:  A turtleneck sweater. A turtleneck long-sleeved shirt. A jacket or a sweater with a collar that covers your neck. Just make sure you normally wear this type of thing, or your friends will be more likely to notice your hickey because they will be laughing at your popped collar. Don't wear a turtleneck in the middle of the summer. That will just draw more attention to your neck. Girls can still try wearing tank tops with a high collar while they're still trendy. Wear a top that draws attention away from your neck. Try wearing a shirt that has a funny logo on it, stripes, or an unusual zipper. The busier your top, the less likely people will be to look at your neck. The right accessory can also help hide your hickey if your shirt just isn't doing the trick. Here are some accessories to try:  A scarf is the most common accessory to use to hide your hickey. Just make sure you're wearing it during the right season and that if you're indoors, you don't look weird when you keep your scarf on. And you may want to avoid wearing a scarf if you never wear a scarf. If you're really preppy, drape a sweater across your shoulders, but only do it if you've tried this look before. If you're desperate, you can stick a bandage over the hickey and make up a story. If you're a guy, you can use a bug bite as an excuse, and if you're a girl, you can say you burned yourself with a curling iron. If you have a cat, you can say he scratched you. But remember that making up a story is more likely to draw attention to you. If you're a girl or a long-haired man, then obviously covering your hickey with your hair is the way to go. Just make sure you check to see that your hair is in place. Avoid wearing jewelry that draws attention to your neck. Ladies, instead of wearing a necklace or earrings, wear cool rings or bracelets. Men, put away your dog tags or chains,...

TL;DR in English: Hide the hickey with the right shirt. Hide the hickey with the right accessory.

Some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) aim to track silver and gold prices and are generally bought through a stockbroker. They are much like derivative contracts that track prices, but they differ in that you will not own the underlying metal assets.   Two examples of ETFs are Market Vectors Gold Miners and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners.  The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF attempts to replicate (before expenses and fees) the yield performance and price of the New York Stock Exchange Arca Gold Miners Index. The portfolio contains gold mining companies of all sizes from around the world. The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF debuted in 2009. This ETF has become quite  popular among investors seeking to have indirect access to gold assets. Although similar to the Gold Miners, the Junior Gold Miners focuses on smaller companies involved in an ongoing search for new sources of gold. Because these companies are less established, there is more risk involved.    Term of Investment: Short term. There is a fee assessed each year that deducts from the amount of gold backing your investment, making this an expensive way to invest.  Nature of Investment: Medium risk. Because a typical ETF investment can be short- term if you prefer, risk can be minimized. Use the same broker you would use to buy stock, a mutual fund, or shares in a gold ETF, such as GLD and IAU on the New York Stock Exchange. A gold exchange-traded fund is designed to track the price of gold while maintaining the liquidity of a stock.  Note that gold exchange-traded funds do not give you the ability to physically control the gold. Therefore, some gold advocates believe this is an inferior way to own the commodity.   Another disadvantage is that ETFs trade like stocks, and you may have to pay a commission to buy and sell on the exchange. Moreover, any capital gains you realize must be reported for tax purposes.

TL;DR in English:


Pick a feeder that keeps the squirrels out. Hang the feeder on a wire between trees or poles to put it out of reach. Place a slinky around a pole to keep a squirrel from climbing up. Rub the pole with shortening or petroleum jelly to make it unclimbable. Spike your birdseed with cayenne pepper so the squirrels won't like it.

To create a leather cuff, you will need strips of tooled leather, leather glue, a leather needle, waxed linen thread, and a button snap or clasp for the ends of the bracelet. Use a ruler to measure a strip of leather 2 inches (5.08 cm) wide, by the length of your wrist plus one inch. Cut the leather to size with a pair of sharp scissors or utility knife. Attach your cut and sized leather to a larger, tooled piece of leather with leather glue. Use your fingers to smooth out any wrinkles, and allow it to dry overnight. Adding a second layer of leather to your bracelet will give a more finished look. Trim the edge off the tooled leather to make it the same size as your original strip. You should now be left with a nearly completed double-sided leather strip. Use a leather needle and waxed linen thread to stitch the cuff together. Any stitch is appropriate; the stitching is simply securing the edges of the leather and giving a more sophisticated look. Use your needle and thread or the leather glue to secure your clasps to either end. With the completion of this step, you're finished!

TL;DR in English: Get your supplies prepared. Measure and cut your leather. Layer your leather. Cut the bracelet to size. Stitch the edges. Add your clasps.

With dial-up internet, you may be only limited to browsing websites that are mostly text and/or images without many add ons and features. Because dial-up internet has fallen out of use in favor of broadband internet, it's not common to see instructions for connecting to dial-up internet anymore.  If you want to do some very serious internet browsing, it will be best to find a Wi-Fi hotspot in a public location. However, dial-up is still commonplace in a few rural areas, which means that you may find yourself needing to connect to it. Dial-up internet requires the use of a phone line, and can only connect one person per phone at a time. If somebody else is already connected, and/or the phone line is being used to make a call, you will be unable to connect until the other person disconnects or hangs up. Additionally, most new computers do not have the components to connect to dial-up; you may have to purchase an external USB modem so your computer can connect. Oftentimes, places with dial-up internet will have two phone lines - one for the phone, and one for the modem. However, if the modem isn't often used, it may be unplugged, or there may only be one phone line. Make sure that the phone cable is plugged into both the phone jack on the wall, and the plug on the modem. Using another phone line, insert one end of the second phone cable into the modem and the other end into the computer's modem jack (or the converter). Make sure that you don't accidentally plug the phone cable into the ethernet plug by mistake. The phone jack on the computer should be noted by a small phone next to it. You'll need to manually set up the dial-up connection on the computer. From there, configure the modem settings. If this is your first time connecting to the dial-up source, you'll most likely need to configure the modem's network settings. While the process is slightly different for every OS, you'll need to enter the same information: the dial-up phone number, a username, and a password. The settings paths that you'll need to...

TL;DR in English: Understand that dial-up internet is no longer widely supported and it will be very difficult to do certain activities on the internet with this type of connection. Ensure that you can connect to dial-up. Plug in the modem to the phone jack. Connect the modem to the computer. Access your computer's network settings. Connect your computer's connection to the modem. Test out your internet connection. Troubleshoot if you can't connect.

It’s one thing to be certain about your sexuality, and another to be comfortable with it. If you are dealing with feelings of guilt, shame, or confusion, it might be a good idea to wait to tell your parents. It’s necessary to accept yourself for who you are before you can expect others to accept you.  Try looking at yourself in the mirror and saying "I am bisexual." If that makes you feel confident and happy, great. If it makes you nervous, keep trying until it feels more comfortable. Try coming out to a friend first. This will help you get used to talking about being bisexual. Coming out can take up a lot of emotional energy. Make sure you feel confident in who you are before you decide to have a potentially tough talk. There are several organizations, such as the LGBT Foundation, that can be used as a resource for how to handle situations like coming out to your loved ones. Before deciding when and how to tell your parents, go online and search for advice and tips from these organizations. It’s important to figure out why you want to come out to your parents. A good reason would be because you love them and don’t want to keep secrets from them. You probably don't want to tell them you are bisexual because you’re having an argument and you want to use your sexuality to hurt them. Take a minute to jot down your reasons. They might be “I’m proud of who I am” or “I am ready to live openly”. This conversation has the potential to become tense and emotional. To help ensure that it is constructive, consider what else is going on at home. Are your parents stressed about money? This is probably not a good time for a serious conversation. Did your grandmother recently become ill? It’s probably a good idea to wait until things are a little more stable.  If possible, choose a time when the emotional climate at home is pretty calm. You want your parents to be able to focus on you. Try asking if you can talk after dinner. A weekend might also be a good time for this important conversation. Pay attention to how your...

TL;DR in English: Be comfortable with your sexuality. Gather advice from relevant organizations. Write down your motives. Pick a time when your parents are calm. Make a safety plan.

Since viral conjunctivitis is not curable, it can recur after initial treatment. These flare-ups are often caused by stress. Therefore, you should identify and remove potential stressors in your cat’s environment. For example, keep your cat’s daily routine as steady as possible.  If you have multiple cats, make sure each cat has her own ‘supplies’ (e.g., food and water bowls, toys, litter box) to reduce bullying or fighting between cats. Your cat may also feel stressed if she becomes bored. Provide her with plenty of toys and rotate them on a regular basis. Puzzle toys are especially useful for keeping a cat busy and entertained. Herpesvirus requires an amino acid called arginine to replicate. However, when the amino acid lysine is present, the virus will take up lysine instead of arginine, which will stop the virus from replicating. Your veterinarian can recommend a specific oral lysine supplement for your cat. Lysine can be used as a lifelong management option for feline herpesvirus conjunctivitis. The severity of a herpesvirus conjunctivitis flare-up can be reduced with ocular (not injectable) vaccination. The vaccination works by strengthening the immune system and making the flare-up more bearable for your cat. Discuss this vaccination option with your veterinarian. If your cat’s allergies caused her conjunctivitis, then you should reduce her to exposure to the offending allergen as much as possible. For example, if she is allergic to dust, you will need to dust your home more frequently. If she is an outdoor cat, you may need to keep her indoors and away from outdoor allergens like pollen. If your cat's eyes became irritated when you used certain household cleaners, try keeping your cat away from the area where you are cleaning. If your cat’s eyes start to look swollen and red, and you see colored discharge (e.g., green, yellow) coming from her eyes, your cat is likely experiencing a conjunctivitis flare-up. Other signs of a flare-up include increased tear production, squinting, and sensitivity to...

TL;DR in English: Reduce your cat’s stress levels. Supplement your cat’s diet with oral lysine. Consider vaccinating your cat. Minimize your cat’s exposure to allergens. Look for signs of a flare-up.

If you're just feeding small birds, you can choose one that has a cage around the feeder. The holes are small enough for the birds to fit through, but the squirrels can't squeeze through. Another option is to place a dome-shaped squirrel buffer on the bottom. It curves down from the feeder, making it difficult for the squirrel to climb up a pole. You can also place one on top curving over the feeder if it's hanging from a pole above. String several empty thread spools or pieces of PVC pipe on either side of the feeder. Even if the squirrel climbs the wire down to the feeder, the spools or pipe will spin and likely cause it to fall off. Pick thin, slippery wire or thread. Fishing line works well for this purpose. Make sure there are no branches near the feeder that the squirrel can jump from. They can jump 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 m) horizontally. Attach the slinky to the pole at the top of the pole. When the squirrel tries to climb the pole, it will grab the slinky. The slinky will slide down, landing the squirrel back on the ground. Some squirrels learn to outsmart this trick, though. Often, the squirrel won't even attempt to climb the pole because it feels sticky. However, if a squirrel does try to climb it, it will just slide back down the pole. Sprinkle cayenne pepper flakes or powder into the birdseed, making sure to get it all through the seed. Birds can't taste the heat of this spice, as they don't have the receptors. However, squirrels can, and they don't like it.  They may get into your birdseed a few times, but they'll soon learn that it doesn't taste good. You can also use safflower seeds for the birds instead of regular bird feed, as squirrels don't like these seeds.

TL;DR in English:
