Select high-density carpet. Choose firm carpet padding. Hire a professional for installation.

Create a professional social media page where you can promote yourself as a drummer. Take videos of you drumming a few of your best songs and post them online. You can send links to show your skill to interested employers. This will make you searchable online, and increased visibility means a greater chance of you landing a gig. Go around to see if the restaurants, coffee shops, and bars in your area are looking for drummers. If no one is hiring, ask if there’s anytime you can play for free. Any exposure is good for you when you’re starting out. Another good way to find gigs is by checking sites like ThatsMyGig.com regularly to see if there’s been any postings for drummers in your area. Never say no to a gig unless you absolutely have to. You never know where you’ll create connections that’ll land you more jobs. If you want to be hired by the same person twice, don’t be late. It’s disrespectful to keep someone waiting, especially if they’re paying you. Something that impresses people is someone who is consistently punctual. Try being five to ten minutes early. That way, if there’s any traffic, you’ll be just on time.

TL;DR in English: Create a media kit. Find gigs to play. Show up on time.

If she seems comfortable around you, she may be ready to kiss you. Begin by slowly leaning your body and head toward hers as you talk. Turn to face her, point your feet in her direction, and lean in a little closer as the conversation continues. This will give her time to realize that you are interested in kissing her. If you are shy or you’re just unsure if she wants to kiss you, simply ask her. She will appreciate your politeness and respectfulness. Share how you feel before you ask her. You could say, “I know we just met, but I really like you. Would it be all right if I kissed you?” When you are about to kiss her, lean in about 90% of the way. Since you have only recently meet, it is a good idea to allow her to realize that you want to kiss her. If she is interested, she will lean in the rest of the way. If she turns her head away, she is not interested. As you lean in for the kiss, part your lips slightly and relax. Close your eyes, and gently press your lips onto hers. Be sure to breathe through your nose while kissing. After the kiss, pull away slowly and maintain eye contact. Pay her a compliment, go in for another gentle kiss, or kiss her on the cheek. Use this time to ask her if she would like to go on another date. Tell her that you would like to spend more time with her.

TL;DR in English: Lean toward her. Ask. Lean in halfway. Part your lips slightly. Pull away slowly.

If you are unsatisfied with the strength of your guitar’s signal, enhance it with a pre-amp. Pre-amplification is the first stage of amplification. These devices boost your guitar’s signal. You can purchase a pre-amp specifically designed for guitars. However, if you are looking to save money, several guitar accessories come equipped with pre-amps. These include, amp-modelers, pedals, drum machines, and direct boxes. The best pre-amps use tubes. Insert your standard guitar cable into your guitar. Plug the other end of the guitar cable into the input port of your pre-amp. Insert a ⅛” stereo in cable into your pre-amp’s PA Out or Line-Out port. Put the opposite end of this cable into your laptop’s audio-in port. If your laptop does not have an audio-in port, you will need to purchase an interface or a special cable that transforms your audio-out port, also known as a headphone jack, into an audio-in port. These products also work with phones and tablets. There are also adapters that plug into USB ports. If your guitar is connected properly to your laptop, you can hear the instrument through your computer’s speakers, a set of external speakers, or a pair of headphones. If you are not using your’ computer’s speakers, insert the external speaker cable or headphones into your laptop’s audio-out port. Strum your guitar to test the signal.  While the pre-amp will improve the strength of the signal, it may not decrease any delay you are experiencing. Delay, or audio latency, is the gap that exists between when a sound is inputted into the computer and when that sound is actually heard.  In order to hear your guitar, you may need to download and/or open recording software first. If you are experiencing sound problems, open your computer’s sound settings. Check to see if your sound is muted and that the correct port or device is selected (audio-in, audio-out, headphone, microphone, etc.). For specific instructions, consult your computer or device’s manual.

TL;DR in English: Purchase or find a device with a pre-amp. Connect your guitar and pre-amp to your laptop. Test the signal.

Back problems in dachshunds are actually spinal problems. Intervertebral discs, located between the vertebrae (bones in the spine), contain a gel-like substance that helps them act as shock absorbers. As your dachshund ages, these discs can harden and lose their shock-absorbing ability, causing the gel-like substance to squeeze out and compress his spine, causing pain and other problems.  High-impact activities (e.g., running, jumping), excess body weight, and irresponsible breeding can increase the risk of back problems in dachshunds.  Although IVDD is very common in dachshunds, back problems in this breed can be caused by infection (e.g., meningitis), spinal tumors, and trauma. Back problems can affect your dachshund’s ability to walk normally. For example, IVDD can make your dachshund very wobbly when she walks, or unable to walk at all. Even if your dachshund can walk, the pain caused by IVDD may make her reluctant to move. Spinal trauma or a spinal tumor may make walking difficult or impossible for your dachshund. If your dachshund has back problems, his posture may change. If he has IVDD, his neck or back muscles will be very tense and he will start hunching these muscles.  These tense muscles may start having spasms. The spasms will look like small, fast movements in the muscles. Each spasm could be quite painful for your dachshund. Your dachshund’s posture could be affected in similar or different ways with the other causes of back problems. Your dachshund will probably have pain and discomfort from her back problems. For example, IVDD may cause her to cry out in pain or seem anxious. She may also start eating less and be less willing to do the activities she used to do, such as playing or going out for walks. These changes would reflect a decrease in your dachshund’s quality of life. With severe back problems, a dachshund can lose control of his bladder or intestines, causing inappropriate urination or defecation. This loss of control, called incontinence, is a sign of a neurologic problem—damage to...

TL;DR in English: Learn about back problems in dachshunds. Watch how your dachshund walks. Look at your dachshund’s posture. Notice any changes in behavior or appetite. Identify elimination problems. Take your dachshund to your vet.

You can easily determine if a carpet is high density by folding over the sample. Then, look for the backing between the fibers. A high-density carpet will not show the backing. It will cost more, but will withstand the strain of heavy furniture better. It will also be more comfortable and last longer. A long pile height doesn’t necessarily mean that a carpet is dense. If each fiber is very thin, then it will still dent easily. Look for a firm, thin pad. Press your fingers into the pad and look for one that provides the most resistance. A thick carpet pad may reduce noise and be more comfortable to walk on, but it allows carpet to flex too much and increases the chances that carpet will develop dents. A pad that isn't firm enough will be permanently crushed by heavy furniture. Always install a fresh carpet pad with new carpet. If you create multiple layers of pads, then you’ll get a ripple effect on the carpet’s surface. Installing carpet on your own without expert guidance can lead to a lumpy, easily dented floor. Most carpet and flooring stores can recommend contractors to you who have experience with installation. Check their references and reviews personally before moving forward.  Most reputable contractors will also come out to your home and provide an estimate for your carpet installation project. If an installer doesn’t listen to your concerns about durability and denting, hire another person to do the job.

TL;DR in English:


Put the toasted spices into a mortar or spice grinder. Use the pestle or grind the spices until they're crushed into coarse pieces. You'll need to combine:  1 tablespoon of toasted whole black peppercorns 1 teaspoon of toasted coriander seed 1 teaspoon of toasted fennel seed 1 teaspoon of toasted cumin pods 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano Transfer the coarsely ground spices into a small bowl and add 2 medium cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons (28 g) of vegetable or canola oil. Stir the spice rub together using a fork and rub this evenly over a 2 to 2 1/2 pounds (900 g to 1.1 kg) sirloin tip. Turn a gas grill on to high or prepare a charcoal grill. If you're using charcoal, dump the hot coals on one half of the grate to make 2-zones of heat. The grill should be hot and ready to use about 5 to 10 minutes before you're ready to grill the sirloin. Sprinkle the seasoned sirloin with kosher salt. Put it directly over the coals and grill the steak for 8 to 10 minutes. You should use tongs to turn the sirloin frequently so it cooks evenly. Stick a thermometer in the sirloin to check the temperature. It should register 125 degrees F (50 degrees C) once it's finished cooking. Remove the sirloin tip from the grill and place a piece of foil over the meat. Let it rest for 5 minutes so it finishes cooking. Use a sharp knife to slice the meat into thin strips. Turn the strips 90 degrees and and cut the strips into bites. Serve the grilled sirloin tips immediately. You can serve the grilled sirloin with grilled vegetables and crusty bread.

TL;DR in English: Grind the toasted spices. Make a spice rub and coat the sirloin. Heat a grill to high heat. Salt the sirloin and grill it for 8 to 10 minutes. Rest and slice the sirloin.

At about 24 hours after your normal wake up time, the body is likely to hit a wall, and you will feel most tired.  Experts say this is because of the body’s normal internal clock. That’s called your circadian rhythm. It means that you might feel more tired at the 24-hour mark of no sleep than you will at, say, the 30-hour mark.   Your body clock will give you periodic second winds. The body basically triggers a wake up signal in your brain that will give you a boost despite sleep deprivation. There are things you can do to trick the body into waking up. If it’s absolutely necessary for you to pull an all-nighter, make sure you do it in a safe way. Realize, though, that depriving the body of sleep is not good for the body. It releases cortisol into the body, which is the stress hormone.  Don’t drive if you’ve stayed up all night. It can be exceptionally dangerous to yourself and other drivers.  Studying all night also has been associated with lower grade-point average. So develop strategies so you don’t have to do it in the future. Be aware that staying up all night will affect your body in several other ways that could be dangerous. It might make you forget things and slow your reaction times. People who are deprived of sleep are more likely to perform worse at multi-tasking, indicating there is a decline in memory ability. Longer term sleep deprivation has been associated with a slew of negative affects on the body, such as weight gain, mood instability, and muscle fatigue. So if you end up going without sleep, make sure you give your body a chance to catch up. It's not a good idea to do this as a habit.

TL;DR in English: Understand how the body will respond to losing sleep. Ensure your safety while tired.

To remove any chemicals present on your fabric, run it through a simple wash cycle with detergent, using whatever settings you normally do for laundry. Do not use fabric softener as it may hamper the dyeing process by leaving a thin film on the tulle. To prepare your fabric for the dye mix, change your washer’s temperature setting to hot, then use the soak option to thoroughly dampen the tulle. If necessary, fluff the item after the soak to make sure it is loose and fully extended. This should not stain the dispenser as long as you rinse it immediately afterwards. Make sure to shake the dye well before putting it in, and wear rubber gloves while handling it to avoid staining your skin. To flush any excess dye residue out of your detergent slot, fill it with at least an equal amount of hot water. This means that, if you used 1 bottle of dye, you should rinse the dispenser with at least 1 bottle of hot water. Though you don’t need a lot, adding in some detergent will help better distribute the dye to every spot on the fabric, making sure it tints as evenly as possible. After adding the dye and detergent, let the tulle soak for about 10 minutes. At that time, put 1 cup (240 ml) of salt in 4 cups (950 ml) of hot water and stir the solution until the salt dissolves. Then, pour the mixture into the detergent slot to help your fabric soak up the dye. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of vinegar and another 2 cups (470 ml) of hot water if you’re dyeing nylon or silk. Choose the longest cycle available, making sure to select any extra rinse and spin options, then start the washer. Once the dye wash is finished, change your washing machine’s water temperature to warm and pour a capful of soap into the detergent slot. Then, start another long wash cycle, giving your tulle a chance to rinse out excess dye. Once the wash is complete, rinse the tulle under hot water to make sure no dye bleeds out. If some does, keep rinsing until the color stops running. Then, you can dry your fabric in the dryer or on a clothesline. You do not need...

TL;DR in English: Prewash your tulle. Soak your tulle in hot water. Pour a liquid dye mix into the detergent slot. Add hot water to the detergent slot equal to the amount of dye you used. Put in 1 US tbsp (15 ml) of detergent. Add 4 cups (950 ml) of hot salt water after 10 minutes of soaking. Wash your tulle and dye in hot, high water. Run the washing machine with warm water and detergent until the tulle stops bleeding ink. Clean your washing machine before using it again.

To properly recycle food waste, you’ll need to purchase or create a compost container. You can construct homemade containers using fence posts and either wire mesh siding or lattice. The container should be square or round and have an open bottom. Professional compost containers come in two forms:  Compost bins, large containers that look similar to trash cans. These are small and cheap, but open at the bottom, making it difficult to turn compost. Compost tumblers, rotating cylinders that, though expensive, are easy to turn and incredibly effective. To help it compost successfully, it’s important to keep food waste at an internal temperature of at least 135 °F (57 °C). To achieve this, place your compost container in an area where it can experience direct sunlight. If it does not have a built-in cover, place a slab of wood or tarp on top to pack in heat. If your compost container has an open base, set it on a patch of soil. This allows your waste to drain properly and gives insects and microbes a chance to break down the materials. If possible, do not put your bin on paving or decking. To prevent vermin from getting into your compost, dig a 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep hole beneath your container and cover it with wire mesh. When filling your compost container, try to make even layers of green, quick rotting foods and brown, slow rotting foods. When the container is full, each type of material should make up about 50% of the total compost mixture. Examples of proper materials include:  Green items like fruit peels and pulp, vegetable peels and pulp, tea leaves and bags, coffee grounds, and carrot tops. Brown items like egg boxes and shells, nuts, tomato plants, corn starch liners, used kitchen paper, and cardboard. Do not compost bones, meat, fish, bread, dairy products, drink cartons, olive oil, plastic bags, or plastic bottles. Food waste needs oxygen to decompose. To make sure all your waste gets an equal amount of air exposure, use a pitchfork to turn over your compost every few weeks. If using a tumbler, you can...

TL;DR in English: Get a compost container. Cover your container and set it in a sunny spot. Set open-bottomed containers on soil. Layer your bin with green and brown materials. Turn your compost every two to four weeks. Water your compost bin if necessary. Wait 1 year for your food to compost. Add your compost to soil.

Prop it up against a wall or a chair lined with a towel. Some area that you're not concerned about getting messy. Choose a size of canvas that you think you can cover with the amount of crayons you have. That was a lot quicker than blow drying, huh? If you think your glue gun is salvageable, insert a regular glue stick and work through until what comes out is clear and glue-y and no longer colored and waxy. If you aren't happy with a section of your painting, with this method it's very easy to go back and redo (or add to) an area.

Besides taking up hard disk space, old programs may still be running processes in the back, even if you never use them. This is especially true of old antivirus programs or other utilities. New computers often come with programs pre-installed. Many of these are trials that need to be purchased in order to be used. If you don’t intend to use these programs, remove them to free up space. Select Control Panel, and then click “Uninstall a program” under the Programs section. If you are using Classic View, open Programs and Features. This will open a list of the programs installed on your computer. Depending on how many programs you have installed, it could take several minutes for the list to fully populate. In the menu bar, an Uninstall/Change button will appear. Click it to begin the uninstall process. Each program has a slightly different uninstall method, but most are automated.  There are also several free software such as Revo and Advanced Uninstaller which deep clean traces from the Registry which are not removed by the built-in Windows software.

The cast page is commonly the second page in a small playbill. Its purpose is to list the names of the players and the names of their characters. Names of the actors are typically listed on the left side of the page, and character names are listed on the right side. If you don’t know this information yourself, you’ll need to find out. Ask the play’s director or casting manager for the list of actor names and the names of the corresponding characters.  The top of the page can simply read “Cast” or “Players.” Beneath this, it’s common to include a line stating “(in order of appearance),” “(in order of speaking),” or “(in alphabetical order),” according to the director’s preference. The Cast Page can be complex, if the director adds or removes extras or inevitable spelling errors crop up. Start working on this page early in the design process. In order to help audience members follow along with the action of the play, it’s common to include a scene list in the playbill. This page is typically structured like an outline: list the numbers or names of scenes, and within each scene, specify the number and name of each individual act, along with any musical numbers. The list of acts and scenes (and musical numbers) may take up two pages, if you’re creating a playbill for a longer play, or one with many acts. Typically, playbills will provide the audience with the names of all the characters who perform in a certain song or musical number. Under “Act 1” and “Scene 1,” list all of the songs vertically. On the right side of the page, list the character names. For example, for a production of Annie Get Your Gun, list “Annie Oakley and Frank Butler” across from a song in which only those two characters perform. If the director requests, include a very brief description of the plot within each act to help the audience follow the action. The playbill could provide a more detailed plot summary, if you’re concerned that your audience members may become confused about which character is which. For example, if you’re creating a...

TL;DR in English: Fill out the Cast Page. Create a list of acts and scenes. List ensemble members within each song. Provide a brief plot summary for each act. Add a page crediting the crew. Add a “Credits” or “Thank You” page.

Set the barbell on the ground. Stand so that your shins (not your toes) are about 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm) away from it. Set both feet directly below their corresponding shoulders. Bend your knees a little bit. As you do, make sure your shins remain perpendicular to the floor. Now bend over from your waist until your upper torso is more or less parallel with the ground. Keep your chest up as you bend over, so that your back is as straight as it should be when standing upright with good posture. Squat until your hands are able to reach the barbell. Take hold of it with an overhand grip (also known as “pronated”), so that your palms face downward toward the floor or inward toward you. Spread your hands apart so they are a just a tad wider than your shoulders. Now straighten your hips and knees, lifting with your legs, until they are back in your starting position. Keep your arms straight held straight down as you rise. First, draw in a breath. Then, without moving your legs or upper body out of position, pull the barbell with your forearms toward your lower chest. Exhale as you do so. As you lift, bring your elbows up and behind your torso, rather than sticking them out to your sides like wings. When the barbell reaches your torso, use the muscles in your shoulder blades to finish drawing it up the rest of the way. Continue holding the barbell to your chest for a second or two once you reach the top of your lift. Then draw in a breath and reverse the motion. Carefully lower the weight back to your starting position (not the floor). Don’t hand it over to gravity and let it drop. Use as much control over the lowering of the barbell as you used when raising it.

TL;DR in English: Get into position. Get ready to lift. Execute a row. Finish your row.

This works especially well for cast iron. The effervescence of the soda reacts with the iron, making the sides slick and difficult to stick to. Do not dump the soda out of the pot. Instead, submerge the sponge beneath the club soda and scrub the pot while the soda is still inside. Wipe out any remaining flakes of caramel with a dry paper towel.

TL;DR in English:


Pour some washable, green paint into a dish. Repeat the process with your other hand. Make more prints, if desired, then let the paint dry.

Pessimism tends to come from negative beliefs or thought patterns. When you’re feeling pessimistic, take a step back from your emotions and think about where your feelings are coming from.  If you find that you’re holding onto self-defeating ideas or a negative self-image, remind yourself that these ideas aren’t rational and they don’t have to hold you back. Make sure that you are surrounding yourself with optimistic people as well. You can meet new like-minded people by searching for groups on sites like Meetup.com. When you start having pessimistic thoughts, ask yourself, “Is this really true?” Often you’ll find that pessimism is driven by emotions that don’t have much to do with reality. Maintaining a rational mindset can help you see these thoughts for the illusions they are. For instance, if you have the pessimistic feeling that one of your coworkers doesn’t like you, instead of dwelling on the thought, ask yourself why you think that. Is there a more likely explanation? Perhaps your coworker is having a bad day, or they simply have a gruff demeanor. When you’re feeling pessimistic, it’s easy to see all the negative in your life and forget to look at the positive. Remind yourself of the good things you’ve achieved in the past to guide yourself back into a better state of mind. As much as you need to, bring to mind all the accomplishments you have achieved and all the obstacles you have already overcome in your life. Pay yourself on the back for graduating college. Give yourself a round of applause for finally detaching from your toxic best friend. All-or-nothing thinking can easily put you in a negative state of mind because it views any mistake, even a minor one, as a failure. In reality, no one and nothing is perfect.   For example, all-or-nothing thinkers may view others as “either you love me or you hate me,” when, in truth, it’s entirely possible to love someone but not like all their habits or qualities. Identify areas of your thinking that match this framework and challenge how realistic they...

TL;DR in English: Re-examine your beliefs. Use logic to fight negative thoughts. Remember your successes. Avoid all-or-nothing thinking. Reach out for support.

This means that you will need to practice chanting regularly. After chanting regularly for a prolonged period of time, it will become easier to stay focused even in the midst of distraction.  Chanting is a unique form of worship in that it requires no previous sense of inspiration. You do not need to perfect it or feel moved before engaging in it. You only need to commit to starting it. In this sense, chanting is a devotional practice. Even if the words do not inspire you as you begin to speak them, you are offering a heartfelt prayer through the words and through the discipline you display in reciting them. Auto suggestions are ideas you plant deep within your consciousness to help guide your subconscious thoughts and behaviors.  Your autosuggestion could be something as straightforward as, "When I think useless thoughts, I will become aware of it and refocus on chanting." After chanting for several minutes, repeat your autosuggestion five times in a row. You can either recite it in the middle of your chants or wait until you finish a full period of chanting. There is no rule saying that you can only chant when you have perfect peace and quiet. In fact, taking a few minutes in the midst of your busy day to recite a chant can help clarify your mind, heart, and spirit. It is often easiest to repeat a chant during your daily activities when that chant is one you have already used during a time of focused meditation.

TL;DR in English: Treat chanting as a spiritual discipline. Repeat an autosuggestion after chanting sessions. Chant silently throughout the day.

You can use homemade rosewater or store-bought rosewater. Place a funnel into the neck of the bottle first, then pour the rosewater in. Rosewater is great for moisturizing and toning your skin as well as treating acne. You can use store-bought lemon juice, but freshly-squeeze juice would be much better. If you are using freshly-squeezed lemon juice, be sure to strain it first so that you don't get any seeds or pulp. Lemon juice is great for treating acne and blackheads. It can also help brighten your skin. Your facial cleanser is now complete and ready to use! The warm water will help open up the pores on your skin and make the cleanser more effective. Open up your bottle of lemon-rosewater. Hold a cotton ball over the opening, then turn it upside-down and right-side up quickly. Pull the cotton ball upwards rather than downwards. Start at your neck and work your way up to your chin using short, gently strokes. Replace the cotton ball as needed; plan on using about 4 or 5. Rinse it off with warm water first, then splash your face with cool water to seal the pores. Pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel, then follow up with your usual moisturizer. You can use this as a toner as well.

TL;DR in English: Fill a small, glass bottle half-way with rosewater. Fill the bottle the rest of the way with lemon juice. Close the bottle, then shake it to mix the two together. Dampen your face with warm water. Dampen a cotton ball with the lemon-rosewater  face wash. Wipe your face with the cotton ball. Rinse the face wash off.

Tempera paint or finger paint would work the best. For easier clean up, mix a few drops of liquid dish soap into the paint. If you will be making these on paper, consider using a green ink pad instead. Make the next print a little bit above and to the side of the first print. Be mindful about the left and right placement. Remember: the edge of your palm will make the outer edge of the foot. Consider working your way backwards rather than forwards. This way, you won't risk accidentally smearing the paint as it dries. Most tempera and finger paints dry quickly. They should be ready within half an hour, at most.

TL;DR in English:


Use a can of paint. This will remove the paint from the can.

Do not throw away an aerosol can that is not empty. Try to use the product until the can is empty. Do not attempt to empty the can except by using the product. Take your partially full aerosol cans to hazardous waste collection site.

Take a metal coat hanger and unwind it, or find a piece of wire. Bend 1 end of the hanger or wire into a small hook shape. Stick the end with the hook into the drain and use it to pull out clumps of hair, paper, or other obstructions. Bring 5 cups (1.2 l) of water to a boil. Pour half of the boiling water down your drain. Reserve the other half for a later use. As your sink is filling, place a plunger over the drain entrance. Fill your sink until the plunger is completely submerged in the water, about 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) of water. The water will suction your plunger to the sink.  If you have a double sink, then you will need to cover the other sink’s drain with a wet rag or another type of cover. This will prevent water from spewing out of the sink’s drain while you plunge the other drain. If you have a small vanity sink and your plunger is too large to create a tight seal around the drain, pick up a small plunger from a hardware store. Do this by rapidly moving the plunger up and down for at least 20 seconds. On your final upstroke, make sure to pop the plunger off of your drain to create extra pressure. This will help release the clog in your sink trap. If the water in your sink whirls down your drain easily, then the clog is clear in your sink trap. If not, then you will need to keep plunging. Repeat the plunging process until the water whirls smoothly down your sink. You may need to re-heat the water at this point. Re-heat the water until it is boiling again. Then, add a few drops of dish soap to the water and agitate it with a spoon or spatula. Pour the water down your drain. The boiling water should clear away any remaining residue in your sink trap. The dish soap helps remove grease and oil.

TL;DR in English: Use a coat hanger or wire to clear obstructions. Pour boiling water down your drain. Begin to fill your sink with water. Pump your sink vigorously. Keep plunging if necessary. Pour the remaining boiling water mixed with dish soap down your drain.

. Many massage therapists use their website as a way to communicate with clients, book clients, and retain new clientele. The website does not have to be fancy or state of the art. Instead, go for a basic website that showcases your business name, your certifications, the services you offer, and your unique approach to massage therapy.  You can hire a web designer to create your website for you, or create your own website using a basic website design program like Wordpress.com or Squarespace.com. You can then link your website to other social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Your business should also have a Google Plus page with accurate information that appears when your business is googled by clients. Though it may seem old-fashioned to hand out flyers, targeting your community with old-fashioned marketing can be beneficial. Go around to local coffee shops and community centers and ask if you can post flyers about your new massage therapist business. This will help you develop business in your area and lead to word of mouth marketing. Some of your clients may want to claim their massage with their company’s health fund or the government health fund so they can receive a rebate. You will need to make this option available to your clients by contacting each health fund and filling out an application form. You will then receive a provider number that you can use on your clients’ rebates to allow them to claim their massages.

Raise your Apple Watch wrist, or press either of the Apple Watch's buttons. Doing so gives the Apple Watch enough time to finish turning off. This will turn back on your Apple Watch; you should see the Apple logo appear after a second or so, after which point your Apple Watch should be fully on within 30 seconds.  You'll need to enter your Apple Watch's passcode after the Apple Watch finishes restarting. If the Apple logo doesn't appear within ten seconds of pressing the Power button, press it again.

It may not seem like a big deal to throw a partially full can of hairspray or cleaning product in the garbage, but it can actually be very dangerous. Because aerosol cans are pressurized, they explode if they are exposed to high heat or flattened. This could even happen in the garbage truck, which could cause injuries. The easiest way to get rid of the aerosol can is simply to use the product until the can is empty, and then dispose of the can in the recycling or trash. If you can't use it yourself, consider donating it to someone who will use it. For example, cans of spray paint may be used by local artists or students. Your friends or family members may also be able to use your products. When you bring a partially full aerosol can to a hazardous waste collection site, they may puncture it to remove the contents and allow the can to be recycled. While this can be done by trained professionals with specialized equipment, it should never be done at home! Puncturing an aerosol can can cause an explosion, so please leave it to the experts. You can locate a collection facility near you by searching on your city's or county's website. You may need to pay a small fee to safely dispose of your aerosol cans, but it should not be significant.  Many towns have events where people can bring in their hazardous waste and get rid of it for free or a reduced cost. You may find a local business that needs the product inside. They may be willing to take them for you.

TL;DR in English:


Learn to groom horses properly. Brush horses properly. Check all your gear thoroughly. Catch and halter your horse. Saddle your horse. Bridle your horse.

Wear gloves so oils from your hands do not transfer to the food. Cut using a sharp knife or mandoline. This is called a citrus bath. It is used with some fruits and vegetables to lock in enzymes and avoid browning of the produce's flesh. Bananas and apples should be soaked for 5 minutes in a citrus bath, shaken off, and then placed on the dehydrator's trays. Strawberries and cherries do not need to be pretreated.  Use an apple peeler to peel apples before hydrating, if you plan on dehydrating a lot of apples. They will allow you to slice them easily and cut the amount of time it will take you to dry your batch. Pit cherries and cut in half before dehydrating. They can take between 12 and 20 hours. Dry cranberries by freezing them, boiling them and then laying them out on the dehydrator. Plug in the dehydrator, cover and set the temperature. Fruit is usually dried at temperatures between 54 and 63 degrees Celsius (130 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit).  Drying times vary between dehydrators. The more liquid content the fruit have, the longer they will take. Oranges, tomatoes, lemons and bananas usually take 10 hours or longer. These are great to dehydrate overnight. Dry fruits with equal time. They will not leech flavors from each other. Place them in a cool, dark pantry to ensure they cannot be spoiled by sunlight or heat. Spread the mixture on plastic wrap at 43 to 48 degrees Celsius (110 to 118 degrees Fahrenheit) for 4 hours. When the leather is dry on the bottom side, peel it off the plastic wrap and put it with the opposite side down on the fan of the dehydrator. Dry for 1 to 2 more hours, until it is at your desired consistency.

TL;DR in English: Clean all areas carefully, wash all counters with antibacterial spray and rinse. Clean and dry fruit. Mix lemon, lime or pineapple juice with water, in a ratio of 1 to 4. Place evenly on the drying fans/racks, so they do not overlap. Store your dehydrated fruits and vegetables in jars or airtight plastic bags, since oxygen makes them spoil more quickly. Make fruit leather by mixing fruits and vegetables with a little water in a blender.

Check with local animal shelters and rescue centers to see if they need help with the organization of a fundraiser. If you cannot be there in person, offer your help by sharing information with friends and family about the event. Animal shelters and rescues provide services for many pets, some of which have faced abusive pasts. Volunteering will go a long way toward helping these institutions sustain their work. There are also organizations dedicated to rehabilitating abused farm animals that welcome the help of volunteers.  Get in touch with a shelter or sanctuary to see where they need help and how you might be most impactful. If you are unable to donate your time, spread the word to others or make a monetary donation. Pets at animal shelters were often abandoned or unwanted, and have potentially faced abuse. Adopting one of these pets will help give them a loving family and become a great addition to the family. Many shelters often have euthanasia policies due to receiving abandoned and unwanted pets at a high volume. Not only is adopting a pet giving it a happy and loving home, but it is also saving a life. If you are unable or not yet ready to adopt a pet, consider fostering animals. Many shelters and rescues are in need of foster parents willing to provide a temporary home to unwanted or abandoned animals. Being a foster parent to an animal provides the animal with more time to find a permanent home.  Every adoption agency or animal shelter has different requirements for potential fosters. Get in touch with a local adoption agency or shelter to discuss the application process and requirements for being a foster parent. Most agencies and shelters will have a foster care coordinator work with you throughout the process to help you determine which type of pet (puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, etc.) might be best for you. Most adoption agencies and animal shelters will have extensive histories available about the pet you are considering adopting or fostering. Ask the shelter or agency questions about the...

TL;DR in English: Participate in or start a fundraiser. Volunteer at your local animal shelter or find a nearby animal sanctuary. Adopt a shelter pet. Foster abandoned animals. Prepare yourself for the special needs abused pets might have.

To transpose music from C to E flat, you can either move it up a major sixth or down a minor third. A major sixth is 9 half-steps. A minor third is 3 half-steps. If you moved the key signature up a major sixth, you will need to move each note up 9 half-steps. If you moved the key signature down a minor third, you'll need to move each note down 3 half-steps. Once you've identified the correct interval, you can transpose the music without really knowing any further music theory. All you have to do is count the steps. You can buy blank staff paper from any music store. You may also be able to download blank staff paper online for free and print off as many sheets as you need. Set your blank staff paper in front of you with the original music on one side and your blank staff paper on the other side. Use pencil rather than a pen, especially if this is your first time transposing music. Assume you'll make mistakes. You have the choice of moving the notes up a major sixth or down a minor third to transpose the music correctly. Generally, you'll move the notes down if they would be too high for the instrument to play if you moved them up.  For example, a sax can only play as high as an F6. If you have any notes higher than that, you would need to move the notes down rather than up. You don't necessarily need an extensive knowledge of written music to see this. If the transposed notes are falling far above the staff lines, they're likely too high. Test this before you do all the work of transposing several sheets of music, only to find a note that's too high. Scan the music for the highest notes, then move them up a major sixth. If they are too high for the instrument to play, you'll need to move the notes down a minor third. To transpose the piece of music, work note by note, counting the correct number of steps and marking the new note on your blank staff paper. If the original music has accidentals (sharps, flats, or naturals written into the music), ignore them for now. Simply transpose the note as though it...

TL;DR in English: Identify the correct interval. Get some blank staff paper. Determine whether to move the notes up or down. Move each of the notes the correct number of steps.

This is important both in "bonding" with a horse, if you are fortunate enough to ride the same one regularly, and also gives you a chance to look the horse over for problems or injuries before and after a ride. Feed and water the horse if you have opportunity, once again cementing a bond with the animal, earning its trust, and learning to trust it, as well.  Many people are surprised, when they find themselves "up close, and personal," with a horse; with how large and powerful they truly are. Use the curry comb, dandy (hard) brush, and body (soft) brush, in that order. The curry comb should be used on the neck, body, and about halfway down the horse's legs, and likewise for the hard brush. The body brush is the only brush that should be used all the way down to the horse's hooves.  Do not brush the horse's face; use a towel or a grooming glove on this area. Pick up the horse's hooves and use a hoof pick to clean out dirt and mud if they appear to be dirty. Pick them up from the side, never stand directly behind or in front of a horse's legs, for safety reasons. Bring your tack out of the tack room, check it over to make sure it is clean and in good shape, with no holes or tears in the leather. Set it down, preferably on a rail, saddle rack, or stand. Ensure that it is out of the way of other riders. Catch or call your horse, and put on the halter. This is the leather or nylon harness that goes over the horse's head, and you will want to strap it tightly enough so it doesn't slip, but not tight enough to be uncomfortable for the horse. Ensure that it is completely on the horse's head; many an escaped horse could have been avoided had they simply ensured that the halter was on completely.  Lead the horse into the barn and attach the cross ties to the metal ring on the halter near the horses mouth. If there are two rings, the cross ties should be clipped to the metal loops on the sides, closest to the horse's mouth. Standing on the horse's left side, slide the saddle blanket over the horse's back, with the front...

TL;DR in English:


This may sound obvious, but if you really want to get those ollies higher, then you have to keep practicing. But you can't just practice any old technique, or you'll just be repeating the same mistakes again. If you do master the footwork, jumping higher, sucking your feet and board up, and all of the other techniques we've discussed, then continuing to practice definitely will make perfect. Though some people like to practice their ollies first without any speed, you can try rolling to gather a bit more momentum to help you jump higher in the air. It's hard to jump high if you're generating all of the height from your own body without any speed to help you along. So, once you've got the ollie down flat, you can try moving, or even going a bit faster, to help yourself get the momentum you need to jump higher. A lot of people do start their ollies with some speed already, so if this is you, you can just try to go a bit faster as you practice more and more, especially if you're going over objects. Start small, working on doing an ollie over a garden hose, and then work your way up to doing an ollie over a shoebox, or another object that can be easily toppled without hurting you. Once you master this, you can try two shoeboxes or another higher object. Just making visual contact with an object before you jump over it can motivate you to jump higher than if you have nothing to clear. Having this goal set out for yourself can definitely help you get those ollies higher. If you have an old board that isn't in the greatest condition, then you won't be maximizing your ollie potential. A fresh board with some fresh grip tape can help you keep your feet planted on the board, and can also help you suck the board up with you when you jump up, so if you really want to ollie higher, you may consider getting a fresh board.

TL;DR in English: Keep practicing. Pick up more speed. Practice jumping over objects. Get a fresh board.

Do not pull the kitten out of the cat carrier right away; leave it in there with the door open and allow it to exit the carrier at its own pace. Make sure it sees its food and water bowl. This may motivate the kitten to leave its carrier and explore. When the kitten does come out, gently pick it up and place it in the litter box to give it an opportunity to go to the bathroom. If the kitten doesn’t go, at least it will know there is a litter box for it use. If you have other pets in the house, keep the kitten in its own room (along with litter box, bed, food and water) for a week before introducing him to the other pets. If you have small children, instruct them to be very gentle when they pick up, hold, or play with the kitten to avoid injury to either the kitten or kid. Just let it take its time and it will get used to you and the house soon. Keep the kitten in one room (unless you are there to watch carefully) and other pets away from the kitten for a week before introducing the cat to the other pets. After a while, try playing with the kitten but don't force it to do anything it doesn't want to do. It should come out soon enough, and don't panic if it comes out of the pet carrier and hides under something. Let the kitten explore the room. It will have a lot of sniffing to do. Kittens are pretty smart and will take to using the litter box in no time. That is, as long as they can get into it, it’s cleaned daily (scooped), and it’s in a quiet spot.

TL;DR in English: Place the kitten near its bed. Keep the kitten away from other pets at first. Give your kitten time to adjust to its new home. Place the kitten in the litter box every couple of hours until it uses it.

You may have spent a lot of your time and energy with this person and finding yourself alone can be difficult. The best way to deal with this is to concentrate on yourself, your self worth, and your happiness.  Spend time with friends who make you feel good about yourself. Repeat affirmations to yourself to help you focus on your future and your self-worth.  Volunteer to do charity work for a cause that is really important to you. At times the break up will get to you and make you feel incredibly sad. One of the best parts of a break up is rediscovering the things that made you happy. Maybe he hated Indian food and you love it, or maybe he would never go to an art museum with you. Now is a great time to grab some friends and make plans to cultivate your interests. If it has been so long that you feel you can't remember, find new hobbies or interests to participate in. Discover yourself and your passions again. Another way to create a fresh start for yourself is to organize or redecorate your living space. You'll have the opportunity to rid your space of anything bad or negative and introduce new fresh and uplifting styles, colors, or decor. Additionally, attending to your living space in this way will help reduce stress levels or negative thoughts that might come from having a living area that is cluttered or full of memories.  Take new pictures with family or friends, and buy new frames to display them. Change the color scheme of your apartment or bedroom. Reorganize your kitchen so that everything is just the way you like it. It is common to seek comfort or the stability of a new relationship. This can often only lead to further confusion and emotional struggles. Think of your break up like a broken bone. Would it make sense to immediately go and play a new full contact game on a broken bone? Or would it just increase the likelihood that you will only get injured further?  Give yourself time to heal and focus on your own emotional health first. It can be easy, during the pain of a horrible break up, to...

TL;DR in English: Take time for you. Rediscover your passions. Redecorate or reorganize. Avoid the rebound relationship, if you can. Practice self-care.

While standing upright, bend over to the front or side and make a note of where your body creases. This is your natural waist. It's the narrowest part of your torso, generally located between your rib cage and belly button. If you plan to take lots of measurements that relate to your waist, such as rise, it can be handy to tie a thin string around your natural waistline. This way you don’t have to keep finding it all over again! Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor as you extend it around your waistline. Don’t hold your breath or suck your stomach in since this will result in an incorrect measurement. Be sure you don't draw it too tight.  Slip 2 fingers under the tape to make sure it isn't pulled too tight. Without slouching or looking down, pinch the tape measure where it meets together. Record this number as your waist measurement. The hip measurement refers to the widest part of your lower torso, which is usually located about 7 to 9 in (18 to 23 cm) below your natural waist. This may be quite low on your pelvis. Keep the tape measure parallel to the floor as you hold it in the front, extend it around the back of your body, and bring it to meet in the front.  Double-check that that tape measure is parallel, since this measurement can be easy to get wrong, before pinching the tape and looking to see what the final measurement number is. Record this number on your reference sheet. Though it’s called the hip measurement, you shouldn’t measure the circumference in line with where you can feel your hip bones at the front of your body. This part of your body is typically narrower than your buttocks. For this measurement, enlist the help of a friend. Standing straight up with your feet hip-width apart, hold the tape measure at the highest point of your crotch. As your friend to bring the tape measure down the inside of your leg. The should stop at the base of your ankle bone to take the standard inseam measurement.  If you’re taking measurements to hem a pair of trousers, have your friend bring the tape...

TL;DR in English: Identify your natural waist. Find your waist measurement by wrapping the tape around your natural waist. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your buttocks for your hip measurement. Find out your inseam by measuring the length of your inner leg. Use a well-fitting pair of trousers or jeans to measure your inseam. Encircle your upper leg with the tape to take your thigh measurement. Measure the bottom half of your torso for the half girth measurement.

If you have your baby on formula, simply switching to a different one can help ease colic symptoms. You can switch off a cow's milk formula, to a non-cow's milk formula, for instance, though it can be more expensive. Look for words like "hypoallergenic." If you're breastfeeding your baby, you can try changing up your diet. Sometimes, the things you eat can affect the baby. Try cutting common allergens from your diet, such as wheat, soy, fish, eggs, peanuts, and cow's milk. Sometimes, swaddling can help colic symptoms. Simply wrap your baby up completely in a blanket (with their head out, of course), then hold your baby close to you. Gently rocking can also help. Some people also find that carrying your baby more can help. You can also create better conditions to help your baby sleep. For instance, you can have a white noise machine in your baby's room, or even use things like the dryer or vacuum cleaner nearby when they're out of their crib. You can also take your baby for a car ride, as many babies find that soothing. While smoking doesn't cause colic, it can make your baby cry more. Make sure you're not smoking around your baby, and if you're breastfeeding, it's best to cut out smoking altogether. In addition, make sure no one else smokes around your baby. In the moment, make sure your baby isn't hungry, tired, or wet every time they cry. It's also important to have your baby child checked out by a doctor if they suddenly start crying more. They could have an underlying condition that's causing the crying.

TL;DR in English: Pick a different formula. Change your diet. Wrap your baby up. Help your baby sleep. Skip smoking. Check to make sure nothing else is wrong.

Figuring out the average of something is simple. It means that you take every single number in the list. Write them down or put them in a spreadsheet. That means that you add them all up for a grand total. Let’s say you have 5 ages: 31, 30, 26, 21, 10. The total or sum of those numbers is 118. That’s the average.  Using the above example, you would divide 118 (the sum of all the ages) by 5 (the number of ages in the list). The average age is 23.6. This works for much larger number sets too. For example, let’s say you wanted to find the average age of people in a club. Let’s say there were 100 members in the club. You would need the exact ages of each club member. You would add those ages together to get a sum. Then, you would divide that sum by the number 100. That’s the average age of members in the club. It’s no different when calculating average for other types of numbers that aren't ages. Average works the same way.  For example, let’s say you want to know the average population of the 10 largest cities in America. You would list the population for each city. Then, you would add all of those numbers up. You would divide the sum by 10, and that’s the average. There are times you might want to use a weighted average. For example, when averaging a student’s grades, you might want to weigh some assignments as being worth more than others.To do this, multiply each grade by the weight. Then add those numbers together, and divide by the total number of grades

TL;DR in English: Organize all of the ages in a list. Find the sum of all of the ages on the list. Now, divide the sum you got by the number of ages in the list. Find the average of other sets of numbers.

If you've fainted with no known cause, it is very important to see a physician about the problem. Your doctor will help you to find the cause of your fainting and hopefully rule out any serious heart or nervous system disorders. If the episodes are caused by an underlying medical issue, it may be treatable. Treatment may eliminate your fainting spells entirely. Your doctor may have diagnosed you with vasovagal syncope. This is the most common type of fainting, especially in otherwise healthy individuals. In vasovagal syncope, fainting is triggered by certain stimuli that vary from person to person.  Think about what you were doing each time you either fainted or felt like you were about to faint. If your trigger is a situation you can avoid, such as dehydration or the sight of blood, try not to put yourself at risk again. If your trigger is something unavoidable, try to find a way to prevent the drop in blood pressure. Your doctor may have some solutions. For example, some people faint when having blood drawn. If this is your trigger, tell your phlebotomist. He or she will likely have a protocol to prevent fainting that likely includes some way of keeping your legs elevated. When you encounter presyncope, attempt to lie down instead of falling. From a horizontal position, your body is better equipped to recover from fainting. Lying down makes it much easier for your heart to pump much-needed blood back to your head. Keeping your legs elevated is the easiest way to prevent blood from pooling in your feet, decreasing blood flow to your brain. This will shorten the fainting episode and possibly prevent it altogether. Sitting down with your head lowered between your knees will have the same effect.

TL;DR in English: Talk to a doctor. Discover and avoid your triggers. Lie down if you can. Elevate your legs if you can.

The preapproval process begins with a complete application form. The lender will gather information about you, your spouse or partner, if any, and your overall finances. Complete the form as fully and accurately as you can. Omitting any information will only slow the process. Some banks may use the same application for preapproval that they use to apply for the mortgage itself. This may save some steps later if you wind up applying for a mortgage with that bank. The lender will require certain documents to support your application. Prior to about 1990, you merely had to give your employer’s name and state your annual income, but now it is common to require the following documentation:  one to two months of pay stubs, showing annual payment as well two years of federal tax returns, including W-2 statements a quarterly statement of all assets, including savings accounts, checking accounts and any other investments Social Security number (to get your credit report) The lending officer at the bank may have other questions or need additional information from you. You should do your best to provide as much honest information as you can. While you are waiting, you can continue looking at houses, and tell owners or brokers that you have started the process for preapproval on a loan. If you find a property that you wish to buy, and you need the preapproval letter to be expedited, you should contact the bank right away and inform them of that. They want your business, so it will be in their interest to speed up the process if it helps you.  The preapproval process may take as long as two to four weeks. If you need to make an offer sooner, try requesting a pre-qualification letter. This is a similar letter that requires much less documentation, but also carries less weight.

Place it on the ground, then right click to open the smelting window. Move the sand into the top square. Put coal, wood, or any other fuel into the bottom square of the furnace. As long as there's fuel in the furnace, it will turn each block of sand into a block of glass. Each block takes a few seconds to make, so be patient. The glass will appear in the results square in the smelting window. In the default Minecraft skin, glass looks like a light blue, mostly transparent cube.

Meningitis is an infection (usually viral) that causes an inflammation of the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can affect any breed of dog, but some dog breeds inherit breed-specific forms of meningitis, and it is not known how or why this happens. Some breeds known to inherit this disease are beagles, Bernese mountain dogs, pugs, and Maltese terriers. Common symptoms of canine meningitis include:  Fever  Neck pain  "Stiff" neck and rigidity (difficulty moving the head and neck)  Weakness in the legs Loss of balance/equilibrium Seizures Meningitis cannot be treated without proper veterinary care. The most common course of action is to suppress the immune response, typically through high doses of steroid treatment. Prednisone is commonly prescribed for dogs with meningitis, though your vet may prescribe other medications, either with or without prednisone. Canine meningitis is rarely curable, and while treatment options can reduce the symptoms and improve a dog's quality of life in the short term, relapses are quite common, and may be fatal. Alert your veterinarian of any signs of relapse in your pet.

TL;DR in English: Identify the symptoms of meningitis. Administer medication. Watch for signs of relapse.

Geishas cover up their eyebrows, and then redraw them. Since you have already covered your eyebrows, it’s time to draw them in. Using a steady hand, draw in the eyebrows with a black or dark brown eyebrow pencil.  Make sure that the eyebrows you draw in are not too thick, and that they have a gentle arch as opposed to being straight across. Some geishas incorporate a little red into the beginnings of their eyebrows. Do what you wish according to your preferences. Many geishas use red makeup for the outer corners of their eyes. Geisha apprentices, called maiko, usually use the most amount of red, and as they go through training they wear less and less. You have some liberty about what amount of red eye shadow you want to use. Some geishas draw red eye makeup in a small dot at the corner of their eye, while others draw diamond shapes, or simply layer a light layer of red without forming a specific shape. Use a gel liner or liquid eyeliner and apply a line of black against your top lash line. A gel or liquid eyeliner will give you the crisp, precise look that you want for your top lash line. If you wish, you can also apply eyeliner to the bottom lash line using a pencil. Use a red lip liner to create a lower and upper lip line about a centimeter in from your actual lip line. For the upper lip, draw the line slightly lower than your actual lip line. For the lower lip, draw the line a little higher than your natural line. In traditional Japanese culture, a small, pouty mouth is considered beautiful. This is why geishas draw their mouths smaller than they actually are. Use a red lipstick to fill in the lips that you outlined with pencil. Traditional geisha lipstick is made from beni, extract from Japanese safflower. This extract is mixed with water and applied using a brush.  However, you can use any bright-red lipstick that has a lustrous finish.

TL;DR in English: Redraw your eyebrows. Apply a red eyes shadow to the outer corner of each eye. Apply black eyeliner. Line your lips. Fill in your lips with red lipstick.

Because children are not fully grown, their ear tubes are smaller and have a more horizontal angle than adults' ears. This shape and structure makes it more likely that their ears will develop an obstruction of some kind and get infected. Children ages 6 months to two years of age are most prone to ear infections. The virus causing your cold can travel through the Eustachian tube that connects your ear to the back of your nose. If this happens to you or your child, you or your child can develop an ear infection while also having a cold.  Group daycares are a hot spot for ear infections. When your kids run around with other kids, some of whom may have colds, they are more likely to a catch a cold themselves. Be sure to get the recommended vaccinations, such as the flu vaccine once year, as that can protect against infections that could lead to ear infections. Generally, children catch ear infections more often in the fall and winter. This phenomenon is due to the fact that cold and flu infections are more prevalent this time of year, which, as noted, can lead to ear infections. Similarly, if you or your child is prone to allergies, you are more likely to develop an ear infection when allergy counts are higher. These symptoms can indicate that your child (or you) has large adenoids. Having this condition can put you or your child at risk for more ear infections. Talk to your doctor if you notice this symptom, as you or your child may need surgery to fix it.

TL;DR in English: Understand age is a risk factor. Know that colds can lead to ear infections. Understand the season can play a role. Look for snoring or mouth-breathing.

Is there a hole or a crack? A hole will be easier to fix than a crack. If there’s a crack you might need to order a new valve from the air mattress manufacturer. This is a long-shot method and may not always work. Often, a severely damaged valve means that you’ll need to buy a new mattress.  If the valve is leaking air because the valve plug isn’t properly sealing against the valve stem, you can line the stem with a thin piece of plastic to help it seal properly. If the valve is damaged beyond repair, order a new one from the manufacturer and replace it according to the instructions.

TL;DR in English:


Get an agent if you’re new to the industry. Team up with an established reality show producer. Pitch directly to the networks. Keep shopping around your idea until you get a buyer.

Use the leg that’s furthest from your opponent if you want the most power or the leg closest if you want the most speed. Try to hit their groin with the top of your foot or your shin so it hurts them the most. Most times, your opponent will drop to the ground or hunch over if they aren’t expecting the blow.  It may take multiple hits to the groin to incapacitate your opponent. This works most effectively on male attackers, but it can still cause a lot of pain for females as well. If you’re within arm’s reach of your opponent, reach around the side or back of their head. Grab their ear or a fistful of their hair and pull in the direction you want your opponent to move. If your opponent tries to fight back, yank on their ear or hair harder so to make them feel more pain.  You can try pulling ears or hair with both of your hands, but this could leave you vulnerable to an attack. Try to make your opponent hunch over so you can knee them in the face or drive your elbow into their back. If you aren’t able to move your arms or legs to fight back, open your mouth and bite down on the part of the body that’s closest to you. Try to find an area that has open skin or thin clothing so it hurts your opponent the most. Clench your jaw tightly and don’t let go until your opponent lets you go. If you break skin and get your opponent’s blood in your mouth, visit a doctor as soon as possible to make sure you don’t get any infections or diseases. If your opponent reaches for you, do your best to wrap your hands around their palm or wrist. Squeeze as hard as you can and bend the joint backward so it hurts your opponent. Most times, your opponent will move in the direction you’re bending the joint so it doesn’t break any bones. Try to force your opponent away from you and toward the ground with your grab.  You can also try locking their elbows or knees to control them more. If you’re in a life-or-death situation, bend the joint back as far as you can to break it. That way, you can have an opportunity to escape while your opponent...

TL;DR in English: Kick your opponent in the groin to cause them a lot of pain. Pull on your opponent’s ears or hair to control their movements. Bite your opponent if they’re holding onto you. Grab and bend your opponent’s wrist or fingers to restrict them from moving. Jab your opponent’s throat with your fingers to stun them momentarily. Strike the back of your opponent’s neck with your elbow if they’re hunched over. Headbutt your opponent to disorient them. Push your thumbs into your opponent’s eyes if you’re in close range. Use a weapon if you have one available.

The most important thing for decreasing the occurrence of death after childbirth is the ability to catch the signs of bleeding early in its course and pinpoint its cause. Quickly identifying the cause of the bleeding allows for faster intervention.  A nursing care plan is a very useful tool in doing just that. There are five steps in the nursing care plan. These steps are assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention and evaluation. In order to make a nursing care plan on postpartum hemorrhage, it is important to know what to look for and what to do in each of these steps. Before carrying out an assessment, it is important to take note of the mother’s history. There are several predisposing factors that make the mother more prone to postpartum hemorrhage, as all women who had just given birth are prone to excessive blood loss. If one or more of the following are present in the mother, assessment should be done at least every 15 minutes during and following delivery until the mother is not showing any signs of bleeding.  These predisposing factors include a distended uterus caused by carrying a large infant inside or having excessive fluid in the placenta (the sac surrounding the infant), having given birth to more than five children, rapid labor, prolonged labor, utilization of assistive devices, a caesarean birth, removal of the placenta manually and an inverted uterus. Predisposing factors to excessive bleeding also include mothers who have suffered from conditions such as placenta previa, placenta accreta, utilizing drugs such as oxytocin, prostaglandins, tocolytics, or magnesium sulfate, underwent general anesthesia, if the mother has clotting disorders, have suffered from hemorrhage in the previous childbirth, has uterine fibroids, or has suffered from bacterial infection of the fetal membranes (chorioamnionitis). In assessing the mother, there are certain physical aspects that need to be checked regularly to determine if there is an ongoing postpartum hemorrhage and also to help determine the cause....

TL;DR in English: Understand what a nurse care plan is. Pay close attention to mothers who are predisposed to developing a postpartum hemorrhage. Evaluate the mother’s condition frequently. Monitor the fundus. Look at the bladder. Assess the lochia. Check the mother’s vital signs. Understand that trauma could lead to excessive bleeding. Notify other healthcare providers. Massage the mother’s uterus and keep track of blood loss. Regulate the mother’s blood levels. Put the mother in the Trendelenburg position. Give the mother medications. Monitor the mother’s breathing. Evaluate the mother when the mother is in a safer state. Check on any open wounds the mother may have sustained. Check for side effects of the medications.

Black is very slimming, so wear as much black as you like. Go for the long line look.  White shows off your belly and will make it more obvious. Some abstract colors like a neon top with dark pants, also draw attention to your belly. You could try another solid color like soft gray if black gets too boring. Try wearing a single color from top to bottom.  Vertical stripes are much better than horizontal, ideally with darker vertical colors at your sides and lighter vertical stripes in the center. Avoid garish or in-your-face bold and big patterns. Keep in mind that darker on the bottom and lighter on the top brings the eyes of the beholder up towards your radiant face. Shoes are important to consider because as your child grows, your blood and other fluid volumes increase, often causing swelling in ankles and feet (this can also permanently change your shoe size.)  Wear lower shoes with flats. High heels are just a bad idea during pregnancy especially because it would be dangerous if you fell. You also want to choose shoes with some extra room.  Wedges are fun and beautiful to wear. Buying insoles for your shoes can increase comfort for sore feet. Flip flops can be useful as feet swell. Wear layered necklaces that are shorter than your growing baby bump to keep the focus up top.  Try wearing a great scarf. This can draw people’s eyes away from your bump. Wear natural fiber undergarments. Sometimes during pregnancy one sweats more than usual. To look stylish, wear hoops and big sunglasses. Your boobs are probably busting out all over. What to do: If you haven't already, now's the time to invest in a few great bras.  While you may choose to go for bigger sizes of your favorite bra, you might want to consider the comfort and expanding nature of maternity or nursing bras. Cotton bras are a good choice. You will want one that supports your back. Most women find that not only do their cups runneth over, but their band size (the circumference around the back) will grow too. Besides moving up a band size (or two), you...

TL;DR in English: Work with slimming and solid colors. Wear comfortable shoes. Accessorize for the right effect. Invest in a good bra.

Sit down and lean forward to put pressure on your abdominal muscles, as though you had a bowel movement. The tense muscles, in turn, will put pressure on your bladder. While leaning forward, lay your forearm across your lower abdomen and press gently. Do not press directly on your bladder, which could cause backflow to your kidneys. Repeatedly tap your bladder with your fingers, below your navel. Tap about a little faster than once per second, for thirty seconds. If necessary, shift around to find the best spot, and keep up the tapping until a steady stream has begun. Stroking your inner thigh or tugging on a pubic hair may trigger the nerves that control the bladder.

TL;DR in English: Lean forward. Push down low on your abdomen. Drum your fingers over your bladder. Stimulate the thigh or genital region.

An agent can help you connect with potential buyers and make it easier to get your pitch package in front of the right people. Look for agents in your area that specialize in reality television and see if you can get someone to represent you. Look for a producer who’s already produced reality shows similar to the one you’re pitching. If you’re new to the industry and you don’t know any producers, pay to attend a conference like the National Association of Television Program Executives that takes place annually in Miami, Florida, or the annual RealScreen Summit in Washington, DC.  Attending a conference with high-level TV executives can cost over $1,000 (€843), so you'll want to make sure you're prepared if you decide to take this route. Make sure your pitch package is all put together and consider having multiple ideas to pitch.  At the conference, attend sessions hosted by network executives you're interested in networking with, and introduce yourself after the session. Have cards with your contact information on them that you can hand out to prospective buyers. If you have an agent, have them arrange a meeting between you and some network executives. Choose a network you could see your show airing on; if your show is about CEOs renovating their own penthouses, look for a network that airs home-improvement-style shows. Come to the meeting prepared with your pitch package (short tape, write up, headshots) and convince the network execs that your show would be a hit. If your show centers around the bold personality of a particular character, consider bringing them along to the meeting to help woo the network. If one network isn’t interested in your idea, that doesn’t mean other networks won’t be. Keep attending meetings and pitching your show. Take the feedback you get from network executives and TV producers and use it to make your pitch package better. If you’re not having any luck, consider changing the premise or structure of your show so it’s more marketable.

TL;DR in English:


Draw a Chance card if you land on a Chance space. Move your token to the space indicated if you draw a "Go To" or "Take a Ride" card. Place one of your Ticket Booths on an Amusement if you draw a Free Ticket Booth card.

Some bosses think they have to know everything, but it’s okay to ask for help. Your employees will recognize it as a sign of strength because your aren’t afraid of admitting that you don’t know everything. Say, “I’m mulling over how to approach this merger decision, and I’m open to your suggestions. If you’d like to talk about your ideas or concerns, drop by my office between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. today.” Don’t be defensive when your employees criticize your decisions or performance. Instead, consider their comments and decide if they make sense. If they do, consider it an opportunity for growth.  Don’t punish people for giving you negative feedback. No one is perfect, not even you. It’s normal to make mistakes. Give credit to your employees for a job well done, and consider the organization’s accomplishments to be a group effort. Bad bosses often hog the credit, but good bosses spread it around.  Acknowledge the contributions of others. Congratulate your employees for a job well done. When people give you praise, mention the employees who helped you make the accomplishment happen. Despite your best efforts, everyone makes mistakes. If you’ve made a bad decision or snapped at an employee, admit your mistake and apologize. Say, “I’m sorry that I shut you down this morning when you came in to make a suggestion about the project scope. I truly value your input.” You may have some employees that are better performers than others. Perhaps some even remind you of yourself. Keep these opinions to yourself. Showing favoritism is damaging to the workforce. It can discourage workers who don’t feel favored, and it can cause stagnation in favored employees.  If you find yourself focusing your attention on a fraction of your employees, make a point to shift your attention to include others. If you go out to lunch or happy hour with employees, make sure everyone is invited.

TL;DR in English: Ask for help when you need it. Be open to criticism and use it to grow. Avoid taking credit for all of the work. Acknowledge your errors. Avoid showing favoritism.

Caregivers are often under constant stress and pressure, and it is common for them to experience depression and anxiety because of it. Experiencing grief over your changed spouse may also cause you to feel down. Talk to a doctor about seeking therapy or taking prescription medication to help treat your issue. Doing so will enable you to be in better mental health to take care of your spouse. Caregivers commonly lose touch with activities they enjoy, as they often feel they don’t have time for anything else except looking after their spouses. In addition to adding to the level of resentment you may feel, depriving yourself of activities you enjoy can also negatively affect the way you take care of your spouse. Make time to engage in your hobbies, even if it means asking someone to relieve you for a few hours a week so that you are able to participate. Taking care of your mental, emotional and spiritual needs is just as important as caring for your spouse. Fortunately, many hobbies can be enjoyed without even leaving the home, such as reading, knitting, doing yoga, painting, meditating, and spending time with growing grandchildren. Exercising can help your emotional and physical well-being, which is beneficial to both you and your spouse. Spending just a few minutes a day walking, running, participating in tai chi or yoga, or riding a bike can make you feel better emotionally and physically. You may be able to exercise with your spouse during the early stages of dementia, which gives you a chance to connect with your spouse and support their physical and mental well-being. Some spouses feel guilty because they cannot manage everything. Keeping yourself healthy is the best thing you can do to help your spouse.

TL;DR in English: Seek professional help, if needed. Participate in hobbies. Exercise to relieve stress. Self-care in general is one of the most important things a spouse needs to do when they become a caregiver.

Classic guitar is played on a chair. Choose a chair that is without elbow rests and has a firm base. Elbow rests will get in the way when you play and you will need a firm base to give you support and keep you comfortable. Do not slouch as this will hurt your back. Your lower legs and thigh should create a 90 degree angle or as close to a 90 degree angle as you can manage. The chair height will determine your leg positioning. It’s imperative that you feel comfortable when playing classical guitar. While comfort is different for each person, be sure to develop good habits to make sure you don’t sacrifice long term health for short term comfort. Most important is having a relaxed and straight back along with an open chest. This posture allows you to breathe freely while seated in a comfortable position. You will also need to be in a position that allows your arms to move freely and easily. Any position that puts a strain on any part of your body needs to be adjusted. Trim the fingernails of your fretting hand so that you have maximum control when holding the strings. Keep your fingernails longer for your picking hand as this will help you play. While some players use fingertips, longer fingernails may help to produce a higher volume. A combination of fingernail length works best especially with long nails and guitar rhythm through taps and strumming. However, fingernail length should be kept at what is comfortable for you. being used for strumming and taps.

TL;DR in English: Use the correct chair. Get comfortable. Trim your fingernail length according to your hand use.

This includes things like raising your hand to ask a question, walking quietly in the halls, being respectful of others, and always doing your best. You can either create the list of rules before school starts and hang it up on the wall so it's ready to go, or work with the class on the first day to establish the list of rules together.  Other rules might include follow directions, listen carefully, or come to class prepared to learn. Write the list of rules on a poster board or other large piece of paper so students can read it from their seat throughout the year. This includes things like where the students will sit, how you’ll distribute important papers, and how students will go to the bathroom or line up. By clearly explaining how each day will go, your students will feel more prepared and confident.  Go over the daily routine in detail, such as whether the class will start with a warm up activity, what time they’ll have lunch or recess, and what they should do if they have free time. Consider teaching your class hand signals for things like going to the bathroom and getting water so that they don’t need to vocally ask you. Have an idea of what you’ll do throughout the entire day, such as playing a get-to-know-you game and having the class discuss a summer reading book, making your plan as detailed as possible. It’s okay if you don’t follow the plan exactly, but it’s better to have more things than you have time to do than have lots of unneeded down time.  For example, write down the times of each activity, such as 8:00-8:30 introductions, 8:30-9:00 summer reading book activity, 9:00-10:00 music class, and so on. Write the schedule of your day on the chalkboard or whiteboard so the class can see and refer to it all day if desired. Include things in your day such as class introductions, a writing prompt about the summer, or a read-aloud story. Veteran teachers are great sources of information if you have questions or concerns about the first day of school as a teacher. Reach out to other teachers at your...

TL;DR in English: Establish the rules of the classroom for students to follow. Set a routine so students know what to expect. Make a thorough plan for the day that involves creativity. Ask other teachers for help or advice, if needed.
