Take a hot shower or bath. Change into your most comfortable clothes or pjs. Get some light exercise. Try progressive muscle relaxation.

Give them a legend, a fairy tale, where the problem that needs to be overcome (homelessness, hunger, poverty, etc.) is a dragon to be slain. Create an epic feel around the task that needs to be completed. Next, make them the hero of the story you've created. Tell them that they are the only ones who can overcome this terrible obstacle. Make them feel not just necessary but vital. And, here's the key, make them feel like they're the only one/s who can help. People frequently won't help if they think that someone else will step in to be the hero. Use their emotions to show them why their help is so necessary. Put them in the emotional place of the person that needs help. Be as descriptive as possible: the easier it is for them to imagine, the more likely they are to want to help. Let them feel like helping results in good things for them as well. Outline for them not only the good feeling they'll have but also the physical rewards they'll see (good resume content, business incentives, marketing opportunities, etc.).

TL;DR in English: Create a story. Appeal to their ego. Feed their empathy. Show the rewards.

Health experts recommend that teens and school-aged kids should spend no more than 2 hours a day in front of a screen, and it’s just as important for adults to limit their time being sedentary. If you’re struggling with too much gaming, try setting specific limits for yourself on how long you play each day.    For example, you might limit yourself to no more than half an hour of play each day. Help yourself keep track of your playing time by setting a timer on your phone or another device. Don’t give up or get too upset with yourself if you slip up and end up playing longer than you meant to from time to time—it’s totally normal to have setbacks! Try to learn from what happened and think of a way to avoid it next time, like having a buddy send you a text to remind you it’s time to stop playing. If you have a game console, computer, or other gaming device in your room, you may be tempted to stay up all night playing instead of getting the sleep you need. Make your room a screen-free zone so you don’t get caught up in late-night gaming.  If you have games on your phone, switch it off at night or put it somewhere you can’t easily reach it at bedtime. Playing games right before bed can reduce the quality of your sleep. In addition to keeping your room screen-free, avoid playing games during the last couple of hours before you go to bed. When you’re trying to break a video game addiction, it’s not uncommon to have trouble sleeping. If you find yourself struggling to sleep, try not to worry. Do something calming and comforting to help you unwind, like meditating for a few minutes or taking a warm shower. If you play games on your phone or on your computer, you can install apps or browser extensions that limit your play time. Some apps can limit your access to specific games, while others will lock you out of your device altogether during a set time.  PC programs like Game Boss can set time limits on games or block your access to gaming websites. If you play games in a web browser, try an extension like StayFocusd...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself a strict time limit for daily play. Keep gaming devices out of your bedroom. Try apps or extensions to block your access to games. Ask friends and family to help stay on top of your gaming limits.

Mustard greens require 2 inches of water per week to thrive. Factoring in rainfall, make sure that they receive adequate hydration. Be sure to keep the soil evenly and consistently watered. Carefully remove any weeds you see growing around your plants. While mustard greens do not require a lot of room to grow, the influx of weeds can cause unnecessary disturbance, particularly to fragile seedlings. To remove weeds, softly dig them out with your hands, ensuring that the roots are removed as well. To ensure the successful growth of your mustard greens, protect them from bugs that might feed on them (e.g. cabbage worms, cabbage loopers, and flea beetles). Cover plants with row cover fabric, available for purchase at most gardening centers.  Since the insects can't reach the plant under the fabric, they can't feed on it, or lay eggs to reproduce.  Make sure that you keep track of the temperature and moisture levels in your covered rows. Enclosed growing areas can get too hot for greens, so it is important to monitor the plants closely. Avoid getting the leaves wet every time you water your mustard greens. This will help to reduce the risk of your mustard greens getting downy mildew.

TL;DR in English: Water the greens. Remove weeds. Protect from insects and disease.

Look up the band's information on their official website or in magazines (or their companion websites) like Rolling Stone or The NME. Read up on the band's history, backstories behind your favorite songs, and the band members' likes and dislikes. This will give you something to talk about. Choose your sources wisely. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. Third-party blogs and fan sites aren't always reliable. You don't want to embarrass yourself by talking about a rumor as if it were true. Use it as an experience. Focus on the moods or emotions each song evokes. Listen for interesting changes in chords or keys. Pick out any catchy symbols or metaphors in the lyrics. Use these as something to talk about when you meet the band. Don't worry about memorizing a script. Just have a few handy talking points ready. Point out how one or two of their songs have made an impact on your life. If they influenced you to pursue a career in music, mention that. Avoid over-the-top statements like declarations of love or anything else that might make you seem like a crazed fan. You could say:  “I really love the riffs in 'Stairway to Heaven.' That's what inspired me to start playing the guitar.” “After I saw you profiled on 'Behind the Music,' I decided to pursue a career in music journalism.” Eat energizing foods like leafy greens, fruits, and whole grains to keep you going through the excitement. If you eat right before the concert, avoid garlic, onions, or other foods that can make you gassy or give you bad breath. To be on the safe side, pack some mints to chew before you meet the band. Unless you're a seasoned pro around famous musicians, you'll be nervous, which will make you sweaty. Pack a travel-size deodorant to apply right before you plan to meet the band. If you wear makeup, bring your facial powder to touch up shiny spots. Have a makeup sponge on hand to blot any eyeliner or mascara that might have smeared (unless, of course, that's the look you're going for).

TL;DR in English: Read music magazines for background info. Re-listen to the band's music. Practice what you want to say. Watch what you eat. Pack toiletries.

Warm water helps relax your muscles and increase circulation.  It therefore offers some of the same benefits as getting a massage or exercising can, but is low-cost and won’t risk ramping you up for a couple hours like intense exercise can. Light some candles, play relaxing music and soak in the tub for at least ten minutes.  The bath is a great time to do some meditation or practice mindfulness. Make sure not to do anything that might make you fall asleep.  Don’t try to meditate in the bath unless you are experienced and know you will stay alert. Get out of those stuffy work or school clothes and put on something comfortable and soft, like cotton or linen. You will feel instantly more relaxed. It may sound counterproductive to relaxation, but exercising helps you clear your head by burning off all the mental energy saved up during a long day at work or school.  Regular exercise also helps your body feel more relaxed and stress-free overall, making the next long day easier to get through. Try going for a walk outside, doing yoga or stretching for at least 20 minutes.  Walk around the block or a nearby park if it is still light outside.  (Don’t walk by yourself at night.) Better yet, take your dog with you and you can both get some much needed exercise.  Focus on enjoying the fresh air and sounds of nature instead of your speed or how far you go.   Do some yoga poses.  Child’s pose, in particular, is great for relaxing the body after a long day. Stretch it out. If your body feels really tired, just spend 20 minutes doing some deep stretches to loosen your muscles from running around all day. This exercise will help you relax both your body and your mind.  If you do it regularly, you will start noticing when different muscles tense up during the day so you can relax them immediately and prevent compounding stress in your muscles.  Start by laying down in a quiet room. Pick one muscle, like your left hand, and tense it up as much as possible for 5 seconds.  You should be making a tight fist that feels...

Shake off any superficial dirt or vegetation. Fill a basin with warm water. Pour in several squirts of dishwashing detergent. Submerge your wool. Drain your sink. Rinse the wool of all soap. Place the wet wool on top of a thick towel. Lay the wool flat to dry.

This is key, otherwise the tires might lock up and not spin properly. Put your key in the ignition, and turn to start your car. While your car is still in park, turn off traction control. There is generally a button on the left or right side of the steering wheel allowing you to disable traction control. See your owner's manual if there is no such button.  Do not turn off traction control before you start your car. The default setting for traction control is "ON." This means that traction control will turn on after the ignition starts. A light is likely to appear on your dashboard above your steering wheel calling your attention to the fact that traction control has been turned off. Do not worry about this light, as it will disappear once you finish spinning donuts, and turn traction control back on. The surface of the space should ideally be blacktop rather than grass or dirt. It is best to spin donuts on a barren parking lot, or back road. Make sure that you have enough space, not just for your car, but for when it begins to spin in circles. You should also make sure that the surrounding space does not have any houses, trees, or other obstructions. Though you can also do donuts in snowy areas, avoid icy or slick areas as these can present a safety hazard. You do not want to spin donuts with tires that are already worn down, and/or need replacing. To check the tread, perform the "penny test." Take a penny and place it in one of the tire's tread ribs. Make sure Lincoln's head is facing down. If the tread rib covers the entire head, you have enough tread on your tire to safely spin donuts. If the head is more than halfway showing, you should think about replacing your tires. You can either do this yourself by purchasing tires online or visiting your nearest car care professional. Make sure that your oil has been recently changed. You should also change your power steering and brake fluids. These are critically important, as spinning donuts puts a tremendous amount of pressure on your car. You need to make sure...

TL;DR in English: Turn off the traction control on your car before you do any donuts. Find a clear open space to spin donuts. Check the tread on your tires. Maintain your car's fluids. Bring some friends along with you.

You will need a wooden headboard and footboard. If they are attached, detach them. This project works best if there is either a flat skirt  on the footboard or two-part skirt with an even edge at the top. Once you have the frame and the boards are detached, sand the wood to remove old paint or varnish, if you want to. Measure a vertical center line on the footboard and mark it with a pencil or other marking tool. Use a jigsaw or circular saw to cut the footboard along the center line. The two pieces will become the sides of the bench, while the headboard will be the back of the bench. Along the edges you just cut, drill evenly space holes for dowels. Find dowels that are an appropriate size and then use the drill bit for that size to drill the holes. Measure the height from the floor to the holes that you cut, as well as the distance between the holes, and then make identical holes in the same location on the front of the headboard posts.  The number of holes you drill and where you drill them will depend on the shape and style of the bed. If your bed is of a non-standard shape, you may have to alter how you attach the footboards to the headboard. It may be necessary to attach them at the sides, rather than at the front of the posts. Insert the dowels, applying wood glue in both holes, and attach the footboards to the headboard. It should now be starting to look like a bench! Lay the bench on its back and attach 1x6s (cut to the appropriate length) to the footboards using L brackets and wood screws. Attach these at whatever height works for you and that the footboards allow. Use however many boards are needed to create a wide enough seat. Add a 1x3 board to the bottom of the front seat-board to make a skirt, if you want to. Caulk all the joints and gaps so that the connections are more sturdy. Upright the bench when necessary during this process. Paint the bench (with outdoor paint if you intend to put it outside), if you want to. You may also wish to add seat cushions or upholster the bench.

TL;DR in English: Buy and prepare an old bed frame. Measure and mark the center line on the footboard. Cut the footboard. Create the attachment points on the footboard. Attach the footboards to the headboard. Attach the seat. Caulk all joints. Add finishing touches.

When purchasing the crate, make sure it is not too big. If the crate is too big, your puppy will still be able to eliminate in one corner and sleep in another. However, make sure the crate is not too small, as well. Your puppy should be able to lie, stand, and move around comfortably in their crate. Alternatively, you can purchase a crate that is appropriate for your Basset’s expected full-grown size. Use a divider to make the crate smaller, and adjust the divider as your puppy grows. Many crates come with dividers. Place a towel or blanket, toys, and treats inside your puppy’s crate. This will entice your puppy to explore the crate on their own. Once your puppy goes inside the crate on their own, reward them with praise and treats. At this point, do not shut the crate’s door right away. You want your puppy to have a positive association with their crate.  Choose a word or phrase to say when your Basset enters the crate like, “Crate time,” “Go to your room,” or “Nap time.” If you bought your puppy from a breeder who lives nearby, try dropping off a towel or blanket at the breeder’s place a few days before picking up your puppy. This way the litter can sleep on the blanket and leave their collective scent. Place this towel in your puppy’s crate to comfort your puppy. Once your puppy has no qualms about going into their crate on their own, select an appropriate time to enclose your puppy. An appropriate time to enclose your puppy is after they have eaten and eliminated outside. After you close the door, stay with your puppy and give them a new toy.  If your puppy begins to cry, talk to them and reassure them by saying, “That’s a good boy (or girl). It’s ok, I’m here.” Leave the puppy in the crate for only ten minutes. Slowly work your way up to longer periods of time. This way, your puppy will be comforted by your scent and will hopefully fall asleep more easily. Set your alarm for three hours so you can wake up to take your puppy outside to use the restroom. By setting an alarm, you will be able to take your...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a crate. Make the crate comfortable. Crate your puppy for small amount of times. Place the crate in your room at night.

You will need something to mix all of your ingredients in. Because you are working with such small amounts, you can use a small bowl or even a cup. You want a coarse, flour-like texture. If your oats are too grainy and chunky, then you will have to grind them using a blender, coffee grinder, or a food processor. Measure out 3 tablespoons of oats and place them into the bowl. You want your oats to be soft for this mask, so measure out 1 tablespoon of very hot water, and add it to the oats. Mix the two ingredients until they are combined. Before moving onto the next steps, let the oats cool for a few moments. This also gives the oats enough time to absorb the water, making them more supple. You will need 1 tablespoon of honey. Be sure that it is the clear, runny type. Measure out the honey, add it to the bowl, and mix with a spoon until everything is combined. You can use your facial mask as it is, or you can add other ingredients into it as well. You can also substitute certain ingredients for others. Her are some ideas:  Instead of using hot water, use 1 tablespoon of cold milk. You can also use 1 tablespoon of chamomile tea instead of water. Add a few mashed up banana slices to the oats. Consider adding a few drops of almond oil. Replace the water with 1 tablespoon of olive oil instead, for a more nourishing mask.

TL;DR in English: Find a mixing bowl. Make sure your oats are finely-ground. Place the oats into the bowl. Add some hot water and mix. Let the mixture cool a little. Add the honey and stir. Consider adding or substituting other ingredients.

You will want to card only clean wool, as any dirt particles could hamper your ability to use the wool carders. Freshly shorn sheep’s wool will also have dirt deep in the fibers, so you will need to be sure you wash it thoroughly. Grab a bucket or clean out a sink to use as a washing basin. The basin should be large enough to comfortably contain the amount of wool you would like to clean. The temperature should be at approximately 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 Celsius). Water that is too hot will strip the wool of natural oils. To protect the woolen fibers, avoid soap or detergents that contain bleach or similar whitening additives. Stir the detergent into the water until the water is soapy.  For best results, use a soap or detergent with a pH between 7 and 9. Most mild dish soaps are neutral (a pH of 7) and should be safe to use for cleaning wool.  Mild dish soaps can be purchased at any drug or grocery store near you. Let the wool soak for about ten minutes in the basin of warm water. This should loosen the dirt particles, making it easier for the dirt to separate from the wool or for you to remove it with some light scrubbing. Rub the wool with your hands to wash it thoroughly. Repeat the process as necessary. You may need to soak the wool 2-3 times before it is completely clean. Remove the wool and pull the stopper to allow your sink to drain or dump the water out of your bucket. Rinse out any remaining dirt in your sink or bucket. You will know it has been thoroughly rinsed when you notice that the bubbles from the detergent are gone. You may need to rinse the wool three or more times. This will absorb the excess water in the wool, allowing it to dry a bit faster. Wrap it in the towel and gently squeeze to pull out as much excess moisture as possible. You can do this by clearing a space on a desk or countertop and laying the wool on another clean and dry towel. You could also lay it flat on a drying rack. Allow the wool to dry overnight. Do not attempt to card the wool until it is completely dry.

Maintain eye contact to make him feel loved and valued. Mirror his movements to show that you’re in sync. Touch him often to create a physical connection.

All foil balloons have a small, 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) filling tab designed to easily blow up your balloons. Typically, this is on the outside of the balloon toward the bottom, and the tab is secured by 2-3 layers of plastic. For instance, you can find this approximately where you attach a string to a standard balloon.

TL;DR in English: Locate the filling tab on the outside of your balloon.

In order to increase the amount of water released with each flush, you’ll need to have access to the tank. Shut off the water supply, remove the lid and hit the plunger to drain the tank. Once this is done, you’ll be able to work unobstructed. Do not attempt to change your toilet’s fill level while there’s still water in the tank. On most standard toilets, this will appear as a large upright tube positioned on one side of the tank. This is the part that controls how much water enters the tank when the toilet refills. Your toilet’s fill valve will most likely have either a ballcock or floating cylinder construction—both can be tweaked manually in just a couple of minutes.  Ballcock valves make use of a floating rubber ball to gauge the water level, while cylinder valves can be set to designate the cutoff point.  If there’s any obvious damage to your toilet’s fill valve, the wisest option is to simply purchase a new one. If your toilet uses a ballcock design with a floating rubber ball attached to a separate arm, you can manually adjust the water level by twisting the stem at the top of the arm counterclockwise. If it uses a newer sliding cylinder construction, simply pinch the clips on the edge of the cylinder and raise or lower it to the desired height.  You may need to use a screwdriver, coin or some other slender object to change the position of a ballcock stem. For newer toilets with a sliding cylinder, the adjustment for water level is a small screw located on the top of this cylinder. Take note of the normal water level, as indicated by hard water discoloration. This will give you an idea how much water is typically needed to achieve a satisfactory flush. On some newer toilets, the manufacturers specify the optimal fill level with a line etched on the interior wall of the tank. Turn the water supply to the toilet back on and wait for the tank to refill. Lift the toilet seat and flush. If you’re satisfied with the flush, replace the toilet tank lid and continue using your toilet as usual. If not, continue...

TL;DR in English: Empty the toilet tank. Locate the fill valve. Reset the height of the fill valve. Test the toilet’s flush.

Unlike the male, she needs to be in the receptive stage of her heat cycle in order to breed successfully. Females typically come into heat twice a year.  Each heat cycle has a preparatory proestrus stage, where the female’s vulva (visible to the outside) swells and she bleeds or spots blood for seven to nine days. The uterus (womb) is being prepared to make a suitable environment for the embryos to develop into puppies.  After this, the bleeding slows and she becomes receptive to breeding. This stage is called estrus. This is also called standing heat, because it is the period when the female will stand to mated with the male dog. It is only during this stage that she will be able to become pregnant. The most fertile time will be at the end or just after standing heat occurs. Veterinarians can determine the stage of heat the female dog is in by collecting swabs inside the vagina and examining the cells. The swabs will collect cells which have distinctive shapes and sizes depending on the stage of estrus. This is especially helpful in those female dogs that don’t swell or bleed much. Insemination is fairly straight forward once the semen is collected and the female dog is in estrus. The female is stood on the examination table with her back legs slightly extended beyond the pelvis. A pipette is used to deposit the semen inside the vagina near the cervix. The insertion of the pipette takes special skill as the female dog’s vagina is quite long. The pipette is withdrawn and discarded. She should be kept standing for 10 minutes after depositing the semen. She should not sit or urinate, or the semen may run out. After 10 minutes she can walk around normally, but jumping and urinating should be avoided for about an hour.

TL;DR in English: Make sure the female dog is in the correct stage of her estrus cycle. Insert the semen into the female dog's vagina. Keep the dog standing after the semen is inserted.

No matter what is going on in your life, you always have something to be thankful for. Start your prayer letter by acknowledging God for all of the many blessings He has given you in your life. When you are thanking God in your prayer letter, you should start it off as “Dear Lord, I would like to thank you for ____________” and then write down whatever you would like to thank God for. The next step in your prayer letter is to praise God and acknowledge his love. You should tell Him that you love and respect Him. Try writing something such as, “Lord, you are perfect in every way. I will always follow your rules and try to be the best servant to you that I can be.” Now is the time to write why you are ultimately praying to God in this letter. Tell him what is troubling you or share your joy with him. Whatever is on your heart, give it to God in this prayer letter.  If you are praying to thank God, try writing something like this: “I am thanking you because _________________ and I am grateful, Lord.” If you are praying to ask for forgiveness, write something like this: “I come to you humbled and subservient, asking for your forgiveness. I am a sinner, but you have saved me by your grace and offered me your love even though I am not worthy.” If you are praying for guidance, briefly explain the situation that is troubling you and ask for His help. For example: “I am struggling with the decision about whether or not to take this new job offer. It is a great opportunity for me, but I am worried about how it will affect my family. Please guide me to the right path and let me know what is Your will for my life.” Once you have completed your purpose for writing the prayer letter and said everything you wanted to say, it is time to close your prayer. Bring the prayer to an end with a simple “Amen.” You can sign your name at the end of the letter if you want. But it is not necessary since God will know who you are anyways. Of course you don’t have to do anything with your letter once you are finished writing it. However,...

TL;DR in English: Begin with gratitude. Praise God in your letter. Tell God your problems. End the letter. Send the letter to God.

When someone is in love, they make eye contact more with that person than they do with anyone else. If you look into his eyes a lot, especially when he’s talking, it will bring up feelings he had the last time he was in love. Those positive emotions will then be associated with you.  Don’t stare at him for too long or you’ll scare him. Every so often, glance away, then drag your eyes back to him to break it up. You can also add a flirty eyelash flutter. Blinking a lot is a natural reaction when you like someone, so it subtly shows that you’re into him. If you copy his body language, tone, and behaviors, he’ll feel like the 2 of you are on the same wavelength. Smile when he does, match his soft-spoken voice by quieting your own, or angle your body just like his is.  For example, if he has his chin propped on his hands on the table, do the same. This applies when you’re walking together, too. Speed up or slow down to match his pace. Don’t imitate every single thing he does. Make your behaviors seem natural instead of creepy by mimicking every couple of movements instead. Studies have shown that touching someone increases their attraction to you. Find any excuse to touch him, whether it’s lightly laying a hand on his forearm when he tells a funny joke or giving him a brief hug when you say goodbye.   Make your touches seem accidental if you don’t want to be too obvious. For instance, graze his arm when you get up to get a drink or brush his foot under the table. Keep your touching above the waist so you don’t cross any boundaries or make him feel uncomfortable. Arms, shoulders, and face are safe spots if you aren’t sure.

TL;DR in English:

Many different collections can be started with little to no cost. One way to do this is to go outside. Look for rocks, plant leaves and flowers, or insects you can preserve and keep on display. Take a walk down to a beach and look for sea glass. Another way is to begin to invest in an object you wish to collect, such as saving bottle-caps you’ve found on the ground or gotten from your beverages.  Others can help you begin or grow a collection by bringing you items such as coins or snow globes back home as gifts. Also consider buying a book on collectibles or joining a club of fellow enthusiasts. Many arts and crafts can be started with few materials. Writing, sculpting, drawing, and more will likely be available to you simply by using what you already have on hand. In addition, you can go to various stores, including dollar and thrift stores, to supplement your projects with cheap material such as scrap wood, fabrics, or metal.  Search for craft projects on sites such as craftster.org or Pinterest and join art groups on Reddit. Look around your house before you begin. Often unused material can give you an idea for a project or help you complete one at low cost. You can use old electronics, wood, fabric, or paint to make miniatures, for example. Retail stores have some cheap supplies, such as coloring books and paint-by-numbers kits. Hobby stores will also have kits that can help you start doing activities such as building model planes or whittling. Think of a subject you’d like to learn. Search out the institutions in your area. Your local community center or library may offer free classes on anything from square dancing to programming, but you can also search local colleges and businesses for inexpensive classes.  Sites such as khanacademy.org and coursera.org offer free classes on a variety of subjects. Youtube, podcasts, and phone applications are a great way to start. For example, try the free Duolingo application to learn a language. Youtube contains a vast quantity of music you can listen to for free....

TL;DR in English: Begin a collection. Start an art or craft project. Study something new. Listen to music. Play music. Venture into nature. Get active. Learn a game.

There is no point not knowing why your clothes look like what they do and how fashion changed throughout time. Coco Chanel changed how women dress, so it's worth renting the Lifetime movie about her. This is worth researching, as after all, you want to know what you're talking about.  Don't go overboard using words no one's ever heard of. Find a fashion vocabulary online, or from another expert. Make sure you're using the words right though. Vogue should be your bible. Read Teen Vogue if appropriate or the Vogue published in your country. Read English or American Vogue if you there isn't a specific edition where you look live.

TL;DR in English: Learn about the history of fashion. Learn 'fashion lingo'. Read fashion magazines.

The sick person may have a high temperature and can feel chilled in a room that is too cold, or uncomfortable in a room that is too hot. As well, loud noises and a stuffy room can make the sick person feel worse, rather than better. Ensure the person is set up on a bed, couch, or comfy chair that is in a comfortable spot in the house and that a window is open to allow fresh air into the room.  You can also make the person feel more comfortable by making sure they have access to warm blankets and lots of pillows, especially if they have a cold or a flu. A sick person may need to get up to 10 hours of rest.  Encourage the person to rest when they are tired so that they can recuperate better. Most ill people suffer from dehydration due to symptoms like diarrhea or fever. Make sure they stay well hydrated by giving them glasses of water and cups of warm, comforting herbal tea. Encourage them to take small sips of the liquid and to try to finish at least three to four cups of water or tea. Though providing beverages is a simple gesture, it can be reassuring to the person, as they may not be able to get water or tea for themselves due to their illness. The average adult needs to drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water or more every day and should urinate at least three to four times a day. Gauge the sick person's hydration level and note if they do not go to the bathroom often during the day. This may be a sign they are dehydrated. Most people will have a go-to comfort food they crave when they are ill, such as chicken noodle soup. Studies have shown that sick people crave chicken noodle soup because it contains a protein in the form of chicken, a hearty chicken broth full of vitamins, minerals, and some fat, noodles to keep you full, as well as vegetables like carrots, celery, and onion, which contain vitamins and antioxidants.

While you likely don’t need to worry, some moles can become cancerous. Typically, these moles will have an asymmetrical shape, an odd border, and an evolving shape. Additionally, they tend to be larger moles and may change colors. To be safe, see your doctor if your mole may be abnormal. Try not to worry because most moles are benign. Your doctor can check your mole to make sure you’re okay. Your doctor will do a physical examination of your mole. If they think it could be cancerous, they’ll take a small sample and do a biopsy to be sure. You may occasionally cut your mole while shaving or going about your life. If this happens, care for your wound by keeping it clean and applying an antibacterial ointment. If it doesn’t start healing in a couple of days, visit your doctor to get medical care.You don’t want your mole to get infected, so ask your doctor about treatment.

TL;DR in English: Visit your doctor if your mole grows, changes, or looks unusual. Get immediate medical care if a cut mole isn’t healing.

Some states such as Wisconsin and Oregon require you to join the state bar association or legal society. Even if your state doesn't require you to join the bar association, you still must maintain your license, which means paying whatever registration fees and privilege taxes are required, as well as completing the required number of hours of continuing legal education each year. Most states don't require law firms to have malpractice insurance, but it's still a good investment, and many states do require attorneys to disclose whether they have malpractice insurance. Many states do require malpractice insurance for attorneys in firms organized as limited-liability business structures such as LLCs. An Interest on Lawyers Trust Account, or IOLTA, allows you to accept and hold funds for advanced fees or costs that belong to someone other than yourself. If your practice will require you to hold money for someone else, check your local rules to find out how to set up a trust account. Your city or county may require you to buy a business license, and maintain premises liability or other property insurance for your office. Check the applicable laws and make sure you're operating within the law. Particularly if you're working from a house or in a residential area, check the zoning ordinance and make sure you can operate a business from that location. Even if you are a sole practitioner, you need to get an employer identification number from the IRS for tax purposes, so you can file a separate tax return for your firm.

TL;DR in English: Join the state bar association. Get malpractice insurance. Determine if you need an IOLTA. Fulfill other business licensing or insurance requirements. Get an EIN.

You all may have lived in the same house and spent most of your days together, but one person’s perception of a situation could still be completely different than another’s. Acknowledge that your adult child’s recollection or perspective is just as valid as yours.  A person’s view of the situation may be totally different based on age, the power dynamic, or closeness of relationships. For example, moving to a new city may have been great for you, but your children may have struggled because they had no choice but to tag along.  Separate realities are a part of family life. For example, when you were a child, your parents may have taken you to a museum. Their memory of the day may be of interesting exhibits and a fun family outing. You may remember being too hot in your coat and that the dinosaur skeletons scared you. Neither your or your parents’ recollection is invalid, they are just different points of view. You may be estranged because one, the other, or both of you do not approve of the other’s life choices. While you may not be able to do much about your child’s attitude toward you, you can show your child that you accept them for who they are, no matter what.  Take steps to show your child your change of heart. For example, if your child is gay, and you belong to a conservative congregation, find a congregation that is more liberal and accepting. You could let your child know that you are reading a certain book to try to understand their point of view. If your child is not speaking to you because they disapprove of your life choices, it will be more difficult. Be firm and confident in who you are, and keep showing them you love them. Do your best to keep communicating with them and looking for opportunities to see them. You don't have to change your opinions or beliefs, just refrain from showing disrespect for theirs. You can disagree with someone and still respect and love them. Not everyone’s opinion needs to be the same.  Honor their differences of opinion as best you can. If you are religious and...

TL;DR in English: Accept that your child sees life from a different perspective. Accept each other’s differences. Respect their right to disagree with you.

Pour your desired measurement of rice into your pressure cooker. Add water according to the type and quantity of rice you are using. One cup of white rice, for instance, needs 1.5 cups of water.  Substitute all or part of the water with a liquid for flavoring if you wish, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or prepared bouillion. Never fill the pressure cooker more than halfway with the rice and liquid. Add a teaspoon of butter, olive oil, or an oil of your choice to the rice for flavor if you like. Close and lock the lid on your pressure cooker by fastening the handle of the cover to the handle for the body of the pot, or however your model is intended to close according to the instruction manual. Place the cooker on a burner of your stove. If you are using an electric pressure cooker, plug it into an outlet and turn it on. Set the burner on your stove to high heat until your pressure cooker indicates high pressure, then lower the heat to maintain this pressure for three minutes. Check your specific instruction manual for how to properly read the pressure on your cooker.  If you are using an electric pressure cooker, set it to high pressure for three minutes. The cooker will take a few minutes to pressure up before the three minutes of cooking time.  Lower the heat right away after your cooker reaches high pressure, otherwise your rice can become quickly overcooked. When the three minutes cooking time is up, take the pressure cooker off the burner for a 10-minute natural pressure release, meaning the pressure built up inside releases naturally when taken off of heat. The rice will continue to cook while the pressure is slowly released. For an electric cooker, turn it off when the timer beeps and set it to a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of natural release, do a quick release on your pressure cooker to open the lid. Tilt the cooker away from you when opening the lid to avoid the hot steam. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Take radon-reduction training courses. Seal all cracks and openings in the building. Keep the windows open on the lowest level, weather permitting. Install ceiling fans with positive ion generators. Avoid using exhaust fans, which increase radon levels. Cover exposed earth with polyethylene plastic. Remove radon from the water using granular activated carbon.

You can use any type of milk you prefer, but keep in mind that whole milk will steam the easiest and create the best foam. If you use skim milk, it may separate more. Or you can use soy, nut, or rice milks. These may steam a little differently, so pay attention to how you heat them. To make a simple mocha cappuccino, you could use chocolate milk. Pour cold milk into a clean, chilled pitcher. You should pour in more milk than you actually plan to drink. For example, if you want to make an 8-ounce (236 ml) cappuccino, you'll need to pour in 10 to 12 ounces (295 to 355 ml) of milk. This will allow the milk to expand and make it easier to pour. Using a chilled pitcher will make the milk steam longer which will create a smoother texture. If you don't have a steam wand attached to your espresso machine, you can warm the milk in the microwave and shake it to create some foam. Place nonfat or low-fat milk into a small mason jar, so that it's at least half full. Put the lid on the jar and shake it for 30 seconds to 1 minute, so the milk foams up a lot. Remove the lid and microwave the jar for 30 seconds. The foam will only last for a few minutes with this method.

TL;DR in English: Select your milk. Pour the milk into a chilled pitcher. Consider heating the milk in the microwave.

The very instant someone threatens or scares you, you should use whatever tools the chatroom or social media site has to block that person. By blocking the person, you'll limit their ability to scare you. In the end, they'll probably move on to bothering other people. Perhaps the easiest way you can protect yourself is to log out of the chatroom if someone makes you feel uncomfortable. Cyberbullies, predators, and trolls immediately lose power over you when you log out. By logging out, you'll empower and safeguard yourself. If someone in a chatroom suggests that they are going to hurt you or someone else, if they threaten violence, or do anything that leads you to be suspicious of them, you should report them immediately. You can report them to the chatroom's moderator, the service the chatroom is hosted by, or the police. If someone online makes you uncomfortable, scared, or threatens you, you should tell someone immediately. Whether you're a teenager or an adult, your friends and loved ones will be able to give you guidance and perspective when it comes to the person who made you uncomfortable.  Remember, telling is not snitching or tattling. Ask your parents for help if online activity makes you uncomfortable. Talk to friends about what is going on online. Cyberbullying is the act of someone trying to intimidate you, make you feel bad, or simply harassing you. If someone commits cyberbullying against you or someone you know, you should report it to an adult or an appropriate authority. For a list of places to report cyberbullying, visit: https://cyberbullying.org/report. Cyber-violence includes pretending that the person knows everything about you and threatening to harm or kill you, your family, your friends or your pets.

TL;DR in English: Block threatening or scary people immediately. Log off if you feel uncomfortable. Report suspicious activity. Tell others what is going on. Report cyberbullying.

When your Boxer enters remission, his lymphoma will be reduced, but not completely gone. If he is in complete remission, there will not be any detectable cancer. If he is in partial remission, his tumor burden will be detectable, but reduced by about at least 50%.  Your vet will perform different tests to detect the cancer. How long your Boxer stays in remission depends on different factors, such as the primary site of the lymphoma and how far it has spread. With complete remission, your Boxer will probably be feeling pretty good. He’ll probably want to eat, run, and play like he used to. Your Boxer may not be quite so lively if he’s in partial remission, but will definitely be feeling better. Take notice if your Boxer starts looking unwell, or if his lymph nodes start swelling up again. These signs could indicate a relapse, meaning the lymphoma has come back. More than likely, your Boxer will have a treatment relapse. Your vet will need to treat him with chemotherapy again. Be mindful, though, that the tumor cells will become more resistant to chemotherapy with each relapse. When your Boxer’s lymphoma no longer responds to chemotherapy, your vet will adjust the treatment plan and focus more on keeping him comfortable.

TL;DR in English: Learn about the different types of remission. Monitor your Boxer during remission. Have your Boxer treated if he has a relapse.

These are the two types of water filters available for home use. POE systems treat all of the water that enters your home and connects to the water meter or pressurized storage tank. POU systems, however, treat water at the point where it is being consumed, such as a shower head or sink.  POU filters can be attached externally or can be installed inline. POU filters that are installed inline filter all the water passing through a pipe. These types of filters are very common and come in many different formats. POU filters include pitcher filters, personal water bottles with built-in filters, and refrigerator filters. They can be mounted to a faucet, under the sink, or the countertop.  Smaller carafe-style pitcher filters are good for single people or couples since they only filter a small amount of drinking water at a time. Some people do not like filters attached to their countertop or faucet; see which style of POU filter suits you best. This will help you decide if you need to target any specific contaminants when choosing a filtering system. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires water companies to provide a consumer confidence report (CCR) every year, which analyzes the water quality in your area. The information is available on your local government website or newspaper. If you want to test the water yourself, call the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) for the names of state-certified testing labs, which may offer low-cost or free test kits. You can also go to www.epa.gov/safewater/labs to find out more information.  Visible particles in your water can be rust or sediment, and houses that rely on wells often have bacteria in the water. The contaminates your water has will depend on your home.  You may discover you do not need a water filter at all because your water contains no contaminants. If you have a family that drinks several gallons of water a day, a single carafe-style filter would need to constantly be refilled, but a smaller family or couple's water needs would be met...

Without the right equipment and techniques, you could actually increase the levels of radon in your home! If you decide not to use a certified contractor to reduce radon, it’s essential that you contact your state radon office to find training courses in your area. Enroll in and attend these training classes to learn how to properly reduce radon levels.  For instance, you’ll learn how to properly test for radon. You may also be taught how air pressure affects ventilation and how radon moves through water. Cracks and openings in the building can allow radon to flow into your home or office. All entry points (like for utilities), cracks, drains, and openings can be filled with urethane foam. Wall and floor joints can be sealed with polyurethane membrane sealants. Supplies can be found at your local hardware store. Ventilation is key for reducing radon levels. Whenever possible, have several windows open on the lowest level of your home or office, which is closest to the soil and source of the radon. Even a small crack allows fresh air to flow in, lowering the concentration of radon in the air. You can opt to open windows on upper levels as well to allow air to flow throughout the entire space. Fans get the air in your home or office circulating, while a positive ion generator charges the particles of radon. The particles are then attracted to the walls, floor, and ceiling, preventing them from being absorbed into your lungs. Radon comes into your home or office because the air pressure is lower than it is outside, drawing radon in like a vacuum. Exhaust fans further decrease the air pressure, so using them actually increases the concentration of radon in the air. If you must use an exhaust fan, open several windows in the home or office as well. If you have exposed earth in your basement, storage area, crawlspace, or another area of your home, you can significantly reduce radon levels by covering the soil. Use high-density polyethylene plastic to completely cover the exposed earth. Seal the seams as well as the...

The adult flea only visits its host to feed, so for every flea you see on the pet, it is estimated that another 20 are living off the animal in her bedding, the carpet, and the sofa.  It is also important to be aware that the female flea lays her eggs on soft furnishings such as carpet and upholstery. These eggs are very hardy and, in the absence of a suitable host, can lie dormant for years. Once the eggs hatch, the flea larvae and pupae will develop in carpet or bedding, feeding off dirt in order to complete their life cycle and become adults. As a result, it is necessary to kill off any eggs or larvae hidden in the dog's bedding, or the carpeting and sofa, otherwise the mother dog or puppies could easily become reinfected. As explained in the step above, the environment in which the puppy lives is likely to be rich with flea eggs, larvae and pupae waiting to mature into the next generation of fleas. Therefore, this bedding needs to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in order to fully eliminate the fleas.  Flea eggs have an extremely tough protective shell, so putting the bedding through the washing machine will not be enough to eliminate them. Use an anti-flea spray or bombs that contains insecticide. The insecticide will find its way into remote corners of the bedding where flea eggs, larvae and pupae may be hiding. Use the insecticide according to the instructions on the packaging. Once you have applied the insecticide and given it time to take effect, you will need to put it through a very hot cycle in the washing machine to remove any residual insecticide (that could harm the puppies) and wash away dead eggs, larvae and fleas. Finally, you will need to kill any fleas living in carpeting or any other soft furnishings. To do this, you should use a permethrin-based insecticidal spray, such as Staykill or RIP fleas.  The manufacturers of these sprays recommend vacuuming prior to spraying. This loosens up the pile of the carpet and helps the spray to penetrate more deeply. In addition, the vibration from...

TL;DR in English: Understand the life cycle of the flea. Wash the puppy's bedding to kill any fleas. Use spray insecticides to kill fleas in carpeting and other fabrics.

If you cannot get insurance through an employer, then you may want to search for insurance plans on the open market. You can find private insurance plans in the following ways:  By contacting insurance providers directly. In many areas, there are only a few health insurance plans available. Ask nearby hospitals and clinics which types of insurance they accept and contact those companies. Through an insurance agent. Look for insurance agents in your area that represent a number of insurance companies rather than just one. With comparison sites on the Internet. Websites such as eHealthInsurance and NetQuote allow you to comparison shop.  These sites take your information and pull up all of the health insurance plans available in your area. There are several different elements that make up the total cost of health care. When comparing health insurance plans, you should pay attention to each.  Premiums. A premium is simply the monthly payment made to the insurance company to keep the policy active. Coinsurance. Coinsurance is the amount that you pay for any service (in addition to the deductible). A more natural way to think of it is the amount of any medical bill that your insurance company will pay. For example, many plans have 80/20 coinsurance rates. This means that the company will pick up 80% of the costs after your deductible has been met. Deductibles. A deductible is the out-of-pocket charge that you must pay before some other part of the health insurance will kick in. Typically, deductibles must be met before the insurance company pays coinsurance. Deductibles may not apply to all services.  Co-pay. A co-pay is a fixed flat fee that a consumer pays when receiving a medical service. For example, you may have to pay $25 for each doctor’s visit. The amount may vary depending on the service. To find a cost-effective plan, you should consider your health care needs. Families will have different needs compared to single individuals, and healthy young people can anticipate needing a different level of service...

Studies have shown that our emotions are reinforced and perhaps even driven by our facial expressions: smiling can make you feel happy; frowning can make you feel sad.  If you're feeling down, try smiling for at least 30 seconds to see if it helps boost your mood a little. You might even try smiling in the mirror and making silly faces — you might even get yourself laughing. Redecorating can help you feel as though you're making a fresh start. You can do this even if you don't have any money, simply by rearranging your room, or giving it a thorough clean and getting rid of things you no longer need.  Cover your walls with things that inspire you — for example, pictures of places you'd like to visit, or people who inspire you or make you feel happy. Find your favourite photo of you and someone (or some people) you love. If it's not already printed out, print it and frame it, and put it in a prominent place in your home. Take some alone time once in a  while and treat yourself.  Buy yourself that book you've been wanting to read. Take a few hours to sit in a comfy chair and read it while sipping your favourite tea. Have a bath in epsom salts and put on a nice moisturizer on afterward. Have a spa day. If you feel uncomfortable in your body, you'll likely have trouble enjoying yourself. Try doing daily exercises like looking in the mirror and naming 5 things you love about yourself — not 5 things you hate.  If you can't name 5, name as many as you can. Each day try to increase the number until you can list 10 or 20 things about yourself that you like. Almost no one will love everything about themselves; just try to like as much as you can. You are beautiful in your own unique way. The popular saying, “to give is better than to receive,” is true for many people. Studies have shown that the same parts in our brain light up when giving gifts as when receiving them. Examples of good deeds:  Try volunteering for a cause you believe in, even if it's only for a few hours a month. Help a friend, relative, colleague, or...

There are a number of both emotional and physical symptoms that a rape victim may encounter after this traumatic experience. These can include:  Rape trauma syndrome/PTSD: These include feelings of anxiety, stress, helplessness, guilt, anger, inability to focus, shame, substance abuse, or becoming suicidal. Fear and growing suspicious about people and their behaviors and intentions. Relationship problems: These might arise as a result of becoming emotionally less responsive, detached from loved ones, or doubting the actions and intentions of friends and family. Insomnia, an inability to have sound sleep, or having nightmares. Denial: You might experience an unwillingness to acknowledge the fact that you were raped and expressing inability to remember what happened Flashbacks: You may have repeated recollections of the assault to such an extent that it becomes difficult for you to distinguish between what happened in the past and what is happening in the present. Hyper-arousal: You might feel the need to be on constant alert to ensure you are safe. Eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia or bingeing. Sexual dysfunction. Physiological symptoms: These might include as diarrhea, constipation, rapid heart rate and breathing, dizziness, unexplained headaches and stomach pains. Rape trauma syndrome (RTS) is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that affects survivors of sexual assault. Most treatments intended for rape survivors focus on alleviating the symptoms of PTSD. This is what most victims of sexual assault suffer from as an after effect of rape.  Some symptoms of PTSD include: flashbacks, avoidance, sleep problems, fear, mood and anxiety related problems, and hyper-arousal.  Survivors can be plagued by constant thoughts of fear and of being attacked. The feelings and thoughts can take such an extreme turn that normal everyday functioning becomes a challenge. They tend to develop distrust towards society in general but men or women in particular. Some may stop mingling or socializing with people...

The first thing you need to do is make sure that there is an option in your leasing contract to transfer it to another person. This varies from company to company so you need to know where you stand. If you are unsure whether your lease agreement allows assumption of the lease, consult the leasing company or an attorney. Generally, leases are easier to transfer to another person than loans are. If you are only leasing the car, you are not working towards buying it outright, so the contract will be shorter than a full auto loan. After you have checked your loan agreement, you should contact the leasing company directly to discuss your options and the possibilities. Before any lease assumption can be made, you will need to have it signed off by the leasing company, so it's a good idea to talk to them in the early stages. Some leasing companies might work with you to determine whether they consider an assumption as a good and viable option. Some companies may work on a case-by-case basis, so they may be able to help you with the process. If you are struggling to keep up with your lease payments or your circumstances change and you decide to try to pass on the lease, you should take some time to consider your various options and the impact they will have financially and on your credit rating. It can be very expensive to terminate a lease early, and defaulting on the lease will lead to repossession and a significant black mark on your credit record.  One alternative might be just to sell your car outright rather than transferring the lease to someone else. If you are in negative equity, meaning the value of the car is less than the amount outstanding on the lease, selling the car won't cover your debts.  You may be able to work out a deal with your creditors that enables you to turn in the car. So always speak to the leasing company about your options.

TL;DR in English:


Offer your help. Be compassionate and patient. Listen non-judgmentally. Encourage treatment. Manage your expectations. Demonstrate healthy behavior.

Most of the components needed to make the hand sanitizer are common household products, so it’s quite possible that you already have most of them. Start with a bottle of 190-proof grain alcohol, such as Everclear, which is 95% alcohol. Since your hand sanitizer needs to be at least 65% alcohol to be effective, using a high-proof liquor will ensure you get the strength you need. In addition, you'll need plain aloe vera gel, and any essential oils you'd like to use.  Always double-check the alcohol content before you buy a bottle of grain alcohol since many commercial brands are less than 190-proof. Remember you may dilute the strength of the alcohol with other ingredients, so it will not maintain 95% alcohol content. The essential oils you choose are completely up to you. Lavender, lemon, peppermint, geranium, cinnamon, tea tree, and rosemary are common choices. You can use more than one if you like, but the total amount of essential oil you use should not exceed 10 drops. Aloe vera gel also comes in a variety of purity options. You’ll want the purest that you can find – simply check out the label to get the purity information. You’ll need a clean bowl, a spatula (or spoon), a funnel and a recycled liquid soap or hand sanitizer bottle. If you don’t have an empty bottle on hand to upcycle, you can use any kind of container you want, as long as it has a lid. Measure out 2  fl oz (59 ml) of grain alcohol and 1  fl oz (30 ml) of plain aloe vera gel and dump both of them together in the bowl. Add ten drops of your chosen essential oil(s). Use your spatula (or spoon) to stir vigorously until the ingredients are fully mixed together.  You can adjust the amount of the products that you're using if you'd like, but keep the grain alcohol at a 2-to-1 ratio with the gel to ensure it's strong enough. If you’d prefer not to mix by hand in a bowl, you can use your food processor instead. Use the funnel to pour the mixture directly from the bowl into the bottle you’ve chosen to use. Replace the pump, lid, or cap on your...

You should wash the clothing in a washing machine if the stain doesn’t completely lift after you try scraping and blotting it. This is important to do if you don't want the clothing to be permanently damaged.  If the piece can easily be placed in the washing machine and washed, that will provide the easiest and most thorough removal method.  It’s usually a good idea to pretreat the stain with laundry pre-wash stain remover. Run the warm water from the back of the stain through the front. This should help pull the toothpaste out of the woof of the woven fabric.  Gently rub the stain(s) with your finger under the water. Make sure the stains are out before you dry your clothing. Drying sets the stain into fabric more, making it tougher to remove. If the stain is still there, soak the clothing in a bucket of very hot water and some detergent for a few hours. Do not dry in the dryer; rather, air dry until you are certain that no remnants remain. If you detect remnants of toothpaste, repeat the process. Remove the initial toothpaste and, once you are left with the residue that is worked into the fabric of your clothes, use dish soap and really scrub at the stain.  First, scrape off as much of the toothpaste as you can. Let the soap sit for about 10 minutes, and then clean the garment as usual. You only need about a teaspoon of clear dish washing liquid and a cup of water. Mix them together and then use a clean rag to rub the mixture onto the stain.

TL;DR in English: Wash the clothing in the laundry machine with regular detergent. Run warm water over the clothing or soak it in a bucket. Try using dish soap.

Guests will enjoy themselves more if there is something to munch on. If you decide to serve alcohol at the shower, the appetizers are even more important in making sure the shower doesn't get out of hand. Make a list of the bride's favorite songs or make a wedding playlist in the theme of the shower, like beach music. A great wedding-themed playlist can include songs like "Chapel of Love" by the Dixie Cups, "White Wedding" by Billy Idol, "Let's Get Married" by the Proclaimers, "Band of Gold" by Freda Payne, "With this Ring" by the Platters,  "Not Too Young To Get Married" by Bob E. Soxx and the The Blue Jeans, "Wedding Bells" by Hank Williams, "Hotel Yorba" by the White Stripes, "Forever in my Life" by Prince and "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra. Using the R.S.V.Ps that you received, make bridal shower bingo. Give everyone a card that has squares referring to people the bride knows, such as a colleague, childhood friend, sister or aunt. A guest gets a bingo if she meets people from different areas of her life and fills in the names of those people. You can also do an icebreaker in the style of a scavenger hunt. Make a list of interesting facts and give it to the guests. They have to find who traveled to Mexico with the bride in 2000 or who gave her her first hair cut. For example, do not play bawdy games with the bride's mother in attendance. Do not play games that make people talk about their relationship, if you have invited many single people.  If your bride does not seem like the type to enjoy indoor games, play croquet or bocce ball instead. This is a great idea if she is sporty. Popular bridal shower games include making a wedding dress out of toilet paper for the bride or for each guest, playing trivia about the bride's life, write poetry or limericks. Play purse bingo, where you get points for common items found in a purse, like a hairbrush, safety pin or pen. Each person allots themselves points according to what they have in their purse and the one with the highest score wins. Make recipe cards...

TL;DR in English: Provide plenty of snacks. Play background music to lighten the mood of the shower. Choose an icebreaker for the beginning of the event, so that friends and family will get to know each other. Pick games that reflect the audience that will attend the shower. Ask guests to sign a guestbook and include their favorite memory with the bride.

Instead of letting anxiety throw you for a loop, let it guide you. Ask yourself three questions when you find yourself anxious: First, ask yourself what you can learn from your anxiety. Next, ask yourself what your mind is trying to say to you through its anxiety. Finally, ask what you can do to resolve the situation. For instance, say you're worrying about a job interview. This kind of anxiety can teach you that you find social situations nerve-wracking, and you may want to give yourself more time to prepare in the future. It could also be that your mind is trying to tell you you're not as prepared as you need to be, and you need to spend more time researching. Your mind is basically working itself up over nothing. That is, it's predicting that bad things will happen. However, you can balance out your mind's tendency to come up with negative scenarios by coming up with positive ones instead.  For instance, consider the likeliness of negative scenario actually happening. Yes, you could be mugged because you're out after dark, but incidents are relatively rare. Think about positive outcomes instead or at least non-negative ones. If you had an interview and you're worried you did badly, think about what could happen. Maybe you didn't do as badly as you think, and you'll get a call back. However, even if you did do badly and you don't get the job, you learned from the experience and can do better on the next one. Analyze what's most likely to happen. Most of the time, the worst-case scenario your brain came up with is not likely to happen. Your brain puts together facts and ideas and mixes them with your experiences and thoughts. What goes on your brain isn't the objective truth that everyone else sees. Therefore, when you're having negative thoughts, step back from them a second see if what you perceive as a threat is really as bad as it seems; sometimes, your mind is just reacting instinctively. For instance, say you're looking around the room, and someone looks away as soon as you look at her. You may...

TL;DR in English: Think through your anxiety. Use cognitive distancing. Tell yourself what you think isn't the whole truth. Learn to label your thoughts. Stop your own criticisms. Use bathing or showering to calm your mind. Learn to be grateful.

Ask your boyfriend directly what he needs instead of making assumptions. Listen and be prepared to offer help with what’s realistic for you. Ways you might help include:  Taking him to doctor’s appointments. Picking up prescriptions. Doing chores, such as laundry or cooking. It can be difficult to talk with a depressed person, especially since they may be irritable or take things out on you. It’s not going to be easy to be around your boyfriend for a while most likely, since he may become moody, negative, and rejecting. However, the depression won’t last forever, so be patient with your boyfriend. To be more patient, try to:  Pause before responding to your boyfriend. Try to put yourself into his shoes and imagine how he might be feeling. Be silent when you need to and just let him talk. Back off or take a time-out when you or your boyfriend are getting overwhelmed. Let your boyfriend talk about his depression and his symptoms with you. Encourage him to talk about his feelings and show him that you don’t judge him for having them. Ask him questions about his depression and if you don’t understand, ask more questions for clarification.  Avoid saying things like, “Just get over it” or “You’ll be fine.”  You can say, “I don’t understand exactly what you’re going through, but I care about you. How can I help you?” Your boyfriend may have difficulty finding the motivation to find a doctor and get into treatment. He may think that the whole process is hopeless and not worth his time.  Try to encourage him as much as possible to seek treatment, as it will likely provide a lot of relief.  You can say, "How about we just go to your primary care doctor? Dr. Smith knows you really well and maybe there's something else going on he can rule out." Scheduling an appointment with a general practitioner first may be less scary than going to a counselor or psychiatrist. You can say, "I'd be happy to help by researching good counselors in the area." Researching a good counselor or psychiatrist may be overwhelming for him, so...

TL;DR in English:


Consult your doctor. Acknowledge that you’re starting over. Plan ahead and make goals. Stay motivated by working with a group.

The easiest and simplest way to prevent a sun rash is to expose your skin to the sun slowly. The most common areas are the legs, arms, and chest, so take your time in the spring wearing these uncovered. Try exposing one area at a time instead of them all at once, and limit the amount of time you spend in the sun at first to about 10 minutes. For example, wear a short-sleeved shirt with a high collar and long pants to begin with. You can also try shorts with a long sleeve shirt and a high neck. As long as only one new area is uncovered, you can help prevent sun rash. When you are in the sun, put sunscreen on the areas that are exposed to the sun. Make sure you look for sunscreen that’s over 30 SPF that offers broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays since both can cause sun rash.  Reapply the sunscreen about once every 2 hours.  If you live in an area with high elevation, you’re more likely to get sunburn or sun rash with shorter exposure times. There are certain times of the day that are considered peak hours for sun exposure and strength. If you are prone to sun rash or want to avoid getting one, try to avoid being in the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The sun is strongest during these times and you run a higher risk exposure. If you know you are prone to sun rash, you can protect yourself by wearing clothing or items that cover your skin completely. If you are going outside, even it is not hot, wear a light jacket or long sleeve shirt to cover your arms. Wear high-necked shirts to protect your chest and long pants to protect your legs. Your face is also at risk, so wear a wide-brimmed hat or headscarf to protect your skin.

TL;DR in English: Expose your skin slowly. Apply sunscreen. Go out into the sun at non-peak times. Wear protective gear.

Line chalkers are small devices used to apply chalk to baseball fields.  There are many varieties of line chalkers available, and specific directions for use vary with the product you purchase.  Generally, though, you can just fill the device with marking chalk, then set it to your preferred width and wheel it across the baseball field. Line chalkers can often be set to make either a two-inch (five cm) or four-inch (10 cm) line. The handheld chalker basically consists of a small bucket with a hole in the bottom.  Fill the chalker with powdered chalk and shake it up and down along the line you want to chalk.  As you shake it, chalk will come out the bottom. While line chalkers are guaranteed to give you straight, beautiful lines on your baseball field, they can be expensive.  If you’re trying to chalk a baseball field on a budget, you might resort to a handheld chalker. A box chalker is a U-shaped device that allows you to quickly and easily chalk a batting box.  Specific directions will vary on the product you use.  Generally, however, you can fill the box chalker up with powdered chalk, then “stamp” the ground near home plate where the batter’s box should be.  Since it's shaped like a ‘U’, you’ll need to stamp the ground twice on each side of home plate (once facing toward the field and once facing away from the field) to create a closed box. Use the box chalker on both sides of home plate to ensure both the left and right-handed batter’s boxes are present.

TL;DR in English: Use a line chalker. Use a handheld chalker if you don’t have a line chalker. Use a box chalker to create the batter’s box.

When your friend makes a critical or harmful remark, pause and think about what possibly triggered their spiteful comment. Were you telling them about something good that is happening to you? Did you just share your plans for the future? Had they just come from spending time with other people? After a few days or weeks, you will start to notice a pattern. Recognizing this pattern may help you know how to steer a conversation and or reveal your friend's insecurities.  If your friend always makes jealous, spiteful comments while hanging out in a group, they may put you down in an effort to bolster their waning self-confidence. If your friend always makes envious remarks after you've shared plans with for your future, they may feel like their future isn't as promising as yours. Jealous comments reveal a lot about the person making the invidious statement. These comments, while directed at you, aren't necessarily about you. Think about content of the comments. What do they reveal about your friend's point of view and sense of self? Is your friend always telling you that you're not good at something? Do they frequently make fun of your appearance?  If your friend is super critical of your possessions, they may be struggling to define their identity outside of their possessions and finances. If your friend makes negative comments about your success, they may be jealous about the opportunities you are receiving or envious of your talents. If your friend constantly critiques your appearance, they may feel insecure about their own physical appearance. Jealous comments usually serve a dual purpose. First and foremost, these remarks are meant to make you feel bad about yourself. You should also consider that your friend may be mad at you, building herself up by cutting you down, or trying to manipulate you. There is also the possibility that your friend treats everyone they encounter in this manner.  Your friend could be mad at you for numerous reasons, petty or otherwise. Is there a reason your friend might be angry...

TL;DR in English: Consider when the jealous comments are made. Evaluate the content of their envious comments. Speculate about what your friend is trying to achieve. Differentiate between jealousy, negativity, and depression.

If you are having pain across these areas, it is most likely caused by an injury to the back muscles, not the kidneys. These are common areas of back pain and it is more common for back pain to spread across this whole region than for kidney pain to spread in this way.  An injury to the back muscles can impact the function and pain levels in a variety of muscles down the backside of the body, including the gluteus muscles. If you are having widespread pain, weakness, or numbness, especially down into your legs, it is important to get medical care immediately. Kidney pain is most often located on the side or the back in the area called the flank. This is the area at the back of the body where the kidneys are located. Pain in other areas of the back, such as the upper back, is not caused by the kidneys. If the pain in your lower back is accompanied by pain in your abdomen, then it is more likely that your pain is related to your kidneys. Back pain tends to remain on the back side of the body. Enlarged or infected kidneys can cause inflammation towards the front of the body in addition to the back. If you only have abdominal pain with no back pain, that is not likely to be related to the kidneys. In many cases, kidney pain is constant. It may decrease or increase a bit throughout the day, but it never goes away completely. On the other hand, back pain will often go away completely and then come back at a later time.  Most causes of kidney pain, including urinary tract infections and kidney stones, will not stop hurting on their own without treatment. The back muscles, on the other hand, can heal themselves and the pain can go away. Some kidney stones can pass through your body on their own without treatment. However, it is still important to get the cause of your kidney pain evaluated by a doctor. If you are having pain on just one side of your flank, then it is likely that it is caused by your kidney. The kidneys are located right along the flank and a kidney stone may only cause pain in one of your kidneys.

TL;DR in English: Identify widespread pain across the lower back and the buttocks. Feel for pain specifically between the ribs and hips. Identify abdominal pain. Assess whether the pain is constant. Feel for pain on only one side of your lower back.

The best thing you can do when returning to exercise after being sick is to talk to your doctor about it. Depending on your illness there are probably specific things to work on and avoid. Know the effects of any medications you’re taking – like if you’re more likely to become dehydrated while exercising. Your doctor may refer you to a Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist for professional help getting moving, depending on your needs.  Say something to your doctor like, “Now that I’m feeling better I want to start a fitness regime. Can you help me make a safe plan?” Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following during exercise: chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, nausea or vomiting, irregular heartbeat, numbness in your arms, lightheadedness, faintness, you pass out, or start to sweat profusely (more than would be expected for your activity level). No matter how fit you were before your illness, being sick for a while takes a toll on your body. Your muscles are weaker than before and your stamina and endurance will be lower. This is normal! Acknowledge that you’re basically starting over, like it’s your first time exercising. Prepare yourself mentally to start slow, increase your activity gradually, and be patient. Remember that you can and will get fit, it just takes time.  If you start lifting heavy weights right away, there’s a chance that your weakened muscles will get a tear, sprain, or strain.  You have to rebuild your cardiovascular fitness, i.e. endurance. It’s likely your heart rate will elevate more easily now that you’ve been inactive for a while. Your immune system has been fighting hard to overcome your illness, so if you overwork your body you’ll probably feel unwell the next day. Take it easy to avoid getting symptoms again. What do you want to be able to do again – run a marathon, go back to aerobics class, play a sport? If you make goals and write them down, you're more likely to achieve them.  Keep a workout journal to help you...

TL;DR in English:


Use the Ctrl+'+a to indicate the letter's pronunciation.

Ninety percent of human communication is non-verbal. A person's body language can be voluntary or involuntary, and it is both genetic and learned. It is a strong indicator of how a person feels, but it can vary from one culture to the next. Those discussed in this article are indicators of body language in Western cultures. Psychologists have classified six involuntary facial expressions that they consider to be nearly universal across cultures. They are happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, disgust and anger. Each has its own signals or clues, and can reveal a person's feelings. But remember they are often fleeting, and some people mask them well.   Happiness is exhibited by a raising or lowering of the corners of the mouth. Sadness is shown by a lowering of the corners of the mouth and by the raising of the inner portions of one's eyebrows. Surprise can be seen when eyebrows arch, eyes open wide to expose more white area, and when the jaw drops slightly. Fear is revealed through the raising of eyebrows, when eyes open after being shut or narrowed, and when the mouth opens slightly. Disgust is displayed when the upper lip raises, the bridge of the nose wrinkles, and cheeks raise. Anger exhibits itself when eyebrows lower, lips press together firmly, and eyes bulge. Many believe that eyes are the windows to the soul. This belief drove many psychological and cognitive researchers to investigate if  our involuntary eye movements held meaning. Research has shown our eyes make predictable movements when a person is processing a thought or question. The notion that you can tell if someone is lying based upon the direction of his or her eye movement, however, is  a myth. Here's what we do know.  Eye movements in any direction increase when a person is recalling information. Our eye movements stop when something interests us. We also avert our gaze when thinking through something, such as the answer to a question. And our eyes stop moving when we're trying to shut out distractions and focus. Eyes move from left to...

TL;DR in English: Learn about body language. Understand the six facial expressions. Know what eye movements mean. Look at the way a person's mouth moves. Observe head movements. Watch hand and arm movements. Notice body posture and movements.

If a fire is small enough, put it out using water or a fire extinguisher if you have one available. If you encounter a large fire, contact the fire department or nearby emergency officials immediately. Prevent a fire from starting by unplugging broken lights and appliances. Don’t light any matches or open flames until you’re certain your home is safe. If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas valve. The smell could indicate a gas leak, which could cause an explosion or a fire. If there’s damage, immediately turn off the main breaker switch. Keep the power shut off until the electrical wiring is fixed and your home is deemed safe. They’re at high risk of collapsing after an earthquake. Never use your fireplace after an earthquake until it’s been inspected by a professional, and keep out of rooms with brick walls. Find an open outdoor space to go to or make plans to meet up with others. Take an emergency kit with you and leave a note in clear view detailing where you are.

TL;DR in English: Extinguish any fires inside or outside your home. Smell for gas. Inspect the electrical wiring in your home for any damage. Avoid chimneys and walls made of brick. Leave if your home is unsafe.

The 800m run is a middle-distance race. These rely on the runner being able to maintain a fast pace throughout the race and then being able to sprint in the last stretch. Working out is going to require you to hone in on the following three abilities:  Develop middle-distance running mechanics. This is also known as speed-stamina. You're going to need to establish a fast pace for the beginning of the race while maintaining control of your body. The goal is to be able to maintain a comfortable, but fast pace throughout the run, keeping in mind that you will exert a lot of energy in a full sprint at the end of the race. Learn to run in runner traffic. People who run an 800m race will have to deal with runner traffic on the inside of the track. Train yourself to minimize being caught in the pack by running in groups to learn how to be conscious of your running form without clipping the person in front of you. Run anaerobically. The last half (350-400 meters) of the race, your body will often feel fatigue from your almost sprint-like speed. Build this ability by sprinting 400m at a faster than normal pace; then walking for 2 minutes before repeating. This interval training will improve your anaerobic fitness. Run most days, alternating 400m and 1600m distances.  Focus on what attributes best match the 800m. Use the 400m to develop speed in sprinting. Use the 1600m to develop a high-speed endurance pace. Refer to your training schedule. Remember to take rest days to stretch and continue eating a healthy diet to fuel for your next run. Also go on runs that will train your body in different ways, like hill running to improve leg muscles and cardiovascular strengthening. Always follow hard days with easier days. After a hard workout, give your body time to recover by either resting or doing a lighter workout.  While you typically want to be somewhat active on rest days, you also need to allow your body to truly rest. This means that you get enough sleep and keep a consistent sleep schedule.  Don’t run on an injury....

TL;DR in English: Understand the mechanics of your run. Run often. Rest and recover.

Make sure that it has several sides and that you are familiar with the topic. Do some research to make sure that you are aware of all of the different sides on this topic, so that you can represent them in the pros and cons charts. If you're given a range of topics for a school assignment, write about something that you're passionate about.  For example, if you’re passionate about the wellbeing of marine animals, you could choose to write about the ethics of using them for product testing and experimentation. It's difficult to write a convincing letter about something you don't care about. ” This will ensure that your topic is defensible and well worded. Your topic should be clear-cut and should have strong arguments to support it. A topic like “Should cigarettes be marketed to teens?” is better worded than a topic like “Should cigarettes be marketed to teens, adults, and the elderly?” because it is more specific.  For example, the topic “murder should be legal” is not defensible, since there are no convincing arguments that support an answer of “yes.” So, a topic like: “Should the state pass legislation forbidding drivers to text while driving?” is much better. Researching is an important component of preparing to write a persuasive letter. Start your research by searching for opinion pieces about your topic online. Also look for articles about your topic by respected online and print news media.  For example, there may be valid reasons that someone would object to the state passing legislation to prohibit in-car texting. But, you’ll never be able to account for and counter these reasons if you don’t put in the research to find them out in the first place. Maybe many people feel that that legislation wouldn’t go far enough, and that the state should ban cell phones in cars altogether, no matter what they’re being used for! The tone and content of your written letter will differ based on the intended audience. So, are you writing to students and kids who are your own age? Your school principal? Adults?...

TL;DR in English: Pick a topic that you would like to write your letter about. Word your topic so that it’s answerable by a “yes” or a “no. Research both sides of the topic to ensure you fully understand it. Determine the age and occupation of the letter’s audience.
