Wash a vase thoroughly with soap and warm water to sanitize it. Remove any leaves that sit below the water line. Recut the stems another 1 inch (2.5 cm), keeping them underwater. Set the rose stems inside a vase filled 3/4 of the way with water.

Every child with this condition has different experiences, so it's always a good idea to know these before attempting to teach your student. Cerebral palsy can affect muscle control, tone, and coordination, as well as balance and posture. This can impact fine motor, gross motor, and oral motor skills, as well as vision, speech, and hearing. Effects may vary from difficulties in learning to frequent seizures. A child with cerebral palsy may have an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). If you weren't involved in creating it, get to know the IEP before teaching the child. It will show where the child struggles and what he/she can achieve. That way you'll be able to provide the best help for the child. This will also help you adapt your teaching style; you'll be able to involve the child as much as possible if you know their strengths and their goals. A child with cerebral palsy may need more medical care than usual. Children with CP may experience seizures or be at risk of serious falls. Make sure you know how to handle each scenario.

TL;DR in English: Get to know how the student experiences their cerebral palsy. Know their IEP plan. Make sure you know what to do in an emergency.

The side you place facedown will form the top of the table. You can lay the boards on a flat surface such as a patch of concrete or on sawhorses if you have them available. Position the boards so their ends align. Leave about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) between each board.  To space the boards properly, stick 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) wood spacers or nails between them, then push them together. If you put the boards on sawhorses, clamp them in place so they can’t move while you’re working. Measure about 16 in (41 cm) in from either of the table’s short ends. Place the cut battens there, then place a third batten directly in the middle of the table. Position the battens so they run across the width of the tabletop. Then, spread a waterproof polyurethane adhesive underneath each batten to hold it in place.  The battens will be about 7 in (18 cm) from the table’s edges.  You may need to use a caulking gun to spread the adhesive. Load the gun and trim the tip off the adhesive canister. Press the trigger to release a bead of adhesive. Move slowly across the width, or short side, of the table to lay a smooth string of the adhesive. Use a 5⁄32 in (0.40 cm) drill bit on the ends of each batten. Create a single hole in the center of each end. Drill diagonally down at about a 45-degree angle towards the tabletop boards. Then, place a 4 in (10 cm) deck screw in each hole to secure the battens in place.  To prevent the wood from cracking, always pre-drill holes before adding fasteners. Use galvanized screws on the table. They are much stronger than nails while also being resistant to water. Position the legs up against the inside edges of the battens, 2 per side. Make sure the legs are flush with the tabletop. They will point diagonally out from the battens, forming an A-shape. The table’s stance needs to be wide to give it plenty of stability. Put some polyurethane adhesive under the legs to secure them to the tabletop. Countersink the carriage bolts by first drilling a pair of 1 in (2.5 cm) holes about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) deep. Then,...

TL;DR in English: Lay the 5 tabletop boards with their best side facedown. Glue the battens to the table boards. Pre-drill holes in the battens before screwing them in place. Connect the legs to the outer battens and clamp them together. Screw the legs to the battens with 3 in (7.6 cm) carriage bolts. Measure about 13 in (33 cm) up the legs to position the bench support. Countersink the bench supports with 3 in (7.6 cm) carriage bolts. Screw the braces to the bench supports and middle batten.

Many people get a crush on someone of the same gender and freak out. The first thing you should do is take a deep breath. Remember that what you are feeling is totally normal. It is not wrong to have these feelings. Also, keep in mind that having a crush on a person of the same gender doesn't automatically mean you are gay. Sexuality is more complicated than that. Sexual orientation is more than a question of whether you are gay, straight, or bisexual. Instead of thinking of it as a set of categories that you do or do not belong to, try thinking of sexual orientation as a line between gay and straight. You can be anywhere along that line between the two.  You might, for example, feel most strongly about girls, but also like boys a little too. In addition, sexual orientation is not just about who you have feelings for, it's also about how you think of yourself (as, straight, gay, bisexual, or something else), and how you actually behave. It's possible, for example, to have to have feelings for both men and women, but to think of yourself as basically straight and only date people of the opposite sex if that's what you want.  How you think of yourself and who you choose to have relationships with are decisions for you to make. The good news about this is that you have as much time as you want to make these decisions, and it's totally okay to change your answer later if you want! You don't ever have to label yourself if you don't want to. Regardless of what you think about these questions right now, have respect for your own feelings. They are your feelings, and they are true. There aren't rules about what you get to feel. Some people you share your feelings with might tell you you are going through a phase. They might be right, or they might not, but in the end, that's for you to decide, not anyone else. Accept the feelings you have now. If they change later, that's fine too. The feelings you are experiencing right now are probably difficult ones. You don't need to go through this alone, unless you want to....

TL;DR in English: Don't panic. Learn about sexual orientation. Respect your feelings. Talk to someone you trust.

Use a push lawnmower instead of a riding lawnmower. If you are accustomed to using a riding lawnmower because of the size of your lawn, divide your lawn into sections and mow each section on separate days. Use a shovel instead of a snow blower. Use a rake instead of a leaf blower. Wash your car yourself versus taking it through the car wash. You can’t help but dance to it. Slow dancing burns approximately 3 to 4 calories a minute, and fast dancing burns about 8 calories a minute. If you dance while doing the housework, you’ll be in the mid-range of about 5 calories a minute. So dance your way to a smaller butt and thighs while getting your housework done more quickly. You do this is by building up a set of habits over the years that help you stay fit without putting in a ton of effort. This happens overtime by making good lifestyle choices. Pick weekend activities that keep you moving like hiking and bicycling. Don’t be a couch potato. Overall, sitting for too long is not good. Basically this means that whenever you can, get up and move. All the way around, sitting on a ball is much better for you. It requires good posture, and unlike sitting in an office chair, you can’t slouch. Also sitting on a ball activates the core muscles of your back, hips and abdomen. When one part of your body gets in shape, it means that the other parts of your body, like your butt and thighs, receive benefit, too. This is a perfect investment if you don’t like to exercise. You can wear it when you’re cleaning the house or washing the car. A vest gives you an additional 20 pounds of weight to hold. You can even just walk around wearing it for 30 minutes a day. It will help you build muscle and burn calories, all without exercising.

TL;DR in English: Look for more action-oriented ways to do your chores. Do your housework to energetic songs that you love. Be that person that doesn’t try to stay in shape. Replace your office chair with a stability ball. Wear a weighted vest around your torso.

This is different than the bucket you originally placed the roses in. A clean vase is essential to keep your roses fresh, since any bacteria left in the vase can kill the blooms. Use a bottle brush to get all the way down inside the vase. Run your vase on a normal cycle in the dishwasher if it’s dishwasher-safe. This prevents any bacteria that was on the leaves from contaminating the water. Use scissors to snip off the leaves as close to the stem as possible or pluck them off with your fingers.  Don't remove all of the upper leaves, though. Otherwise, the roses won't be able to pull water up the stem. If you notice any leaves drop into the water while you’re arranging the stems, fish them out immediately so they don’t dirty the water. This makes sure there are no air bubbles clogging the waterways in the stems. Do not pull them out of the water while you’re cutting them.  Cut the stems at a 45 degree angle, just like you did when you trimmed them from the bush. If you need to make the roses shorter to fit the vase, it's okay to cut the stems more than 1 inch (2.5 cm). You can wear a pair of gardening gloves to protect your hands from the thorns on the stems. Lukewarm or cool water is best for roses. The more flowers you have in the vase, the bigger the vase and the more water you’ll need.  Don’t overcrowd the roses in a small vase. They’ll wilt faster because they won’t get enough water. If you want to extend the life of your cut roses, sprinkle plant food into the water. You can buy premade plant food at a garden store, or make your own at home.

Use the black-line technique to show color and detail. Surround the glass with black barriers. Add a pale panel directly behind the object. Illuminate the background with diffuse lighting. Experiment with your photographs.

The human hand is made up of 27 bones: 8 in the wrist (carpal bones), 5 in the palm of the hand (metacarpal bones) and three sets of phalanges in the fingers (14 bones).  The proximal phalanges are the longest part of the finger located closest to the palm of the hand. The intermediate, or middle, phalanges come next, and then the distal phalanges are the farthest out, forming the “tips” of the fingers.  Acute injuries, such as falls, accidents, and sport injuries, are the most common causes for finger fractures.  Your fingertips are one of the most injury-prone areas of your body because they are involved in almost every activity you partake in throughout the day. Stable fractures are defined by a broken bone but little to no displacement at either end of the break. Also known as a nondisplaced fracture, stable fractures can be difficult to identify and may demonstrate symptoms similar to other forms of trauma. Any broken bone in which the two primary sides of the break are no longer touching or aligned is considered a displaced fracture. A fracture in which the broken bone has been displaced and a portion of it pushed through the skin is referred to as a compound fracture. Because of the severity of the damage to the bone and the surrounding tissue, this injury always requires immediate medical attention. This is a displaced fracture in which the bone has shattered into three or more pieces. This is often, but not always, associated with substantial tissue damage. The extreme pain and immobility of the affected limb that are often associated with this form of injury make it easier to diagnose.

TL;DR in English: Understand finger fractures. Know what a stable fracture looks like. Know what a displaced fracture looks like. Know what a compound fracture looks like. Know what a comminuted fracture looks like.

If you have extra time, you can send the person job listings that have been posted recently in their industry. You may find an opportunity that they overlooked. After you send the listings, ask the person whether they found it useful or helpful so that you know whether you should send more.  Speaking to the person about their ideal job will give you a good idea of what kind of jobs to look for. In some cases, you may need to widen your job search to other areas outside your city. This is particularly true if certain areas offer more positions in their chosen career path. For example, someone with a programming degree may decide to move to a tech center. Make sure to look at the job listings yourself so that you aren’t sending them spam. Looking for a job with the job seeker will give them companionship during the job search and will help motivate them to dedicate some time to it. Even if you aren't really looking for a job, you can see what's available in your industry or you can look for opportunities that would interest the job seeker. Post on your social media to find potential openings within your own network. You can also ask your family or friends if they know of any job openings. There may be an opening that the job seeker can apply to. A personal referral will improve the chance of the person landing the job. In some cases, the person may need more skills, qualifications, experience, or certifications to get the job they desire. If this is the case, gather information about local or online resources where they can attain what they need. You can also help them find volunteering or internship opportunities to gain the experience that will qualify them for jobs.

TL;DR in English: Send them active job listings. Look for jobs together. Use your network to help them find a job. Find ways they can be more competitive in the eyes of employers.

Once you've seasoned the meat, let it rest at room temperature and turn on your smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Let the smoker heat for 10 to 15 minutes before you begin to smoke the meat. Set the seasoned prime rib right on the grill grate. The fat side should be facing up while the bones should be facing down. Put the lid on the smoker and ensure that the temperature remains a steady 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) during the smoking process. When you think the prime rib may be done, insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. If you want the prime rib to be rare, smoke it until it reaches 125 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C). If you want the prime rib to be medium-rare, smoke it until it reaches 135 degrees F (60 degrees C). Keep in mind that the prime rib will still be very pink inside. Avoid overcooking this tender meat. Carefully lift the smoked primed rib out of the smoker and set it on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap the meat in the foil and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Cut off the kitchen twine and use a sharp knife to carefully away the bones from the prime rib. Slice the meat into 1/2-inch (12 mm) slices against the grain. Put the meat on a platter and serve it with your favorite sides. If you'd like to store the leftovers, refrigerate them in an airtight container within two hours of smoking the meat. You can store the meat for three to four days.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the smoker. Put the prime rib in the smoker. Smoke the prime rib for three to four hours. Wrap the prime rib and rest the meat for 20 minutes. Carve the prime rib.

Often times natural food, and plant-based oils have a wonderful aroma. They also have the added benefit of moisturizing your skin. Since bleach dries out the skin, it is a win-win: no more dry skin, no more chlorine stink. Some suggestions include:  Coconut oil Almond Oil Olive oil Aloe Vera lotion: make sure the lotion is high in Aloe Vera as that will make a huge difference in its effectiveness Tea tree oil lotion: like Aloe Vera, a higher concentrate will do a better job Citrus based lotions Citrus based soaps: there are some all-natural soaps that provide both the cleaning power of soap and the moisturizing effects of lotion. Check your local health food store to see if they have any that fit your needs and budget. When using oils you don't want to overdo it. You could wind up over-oiling yourself, thus adding another step (namely, removing all that excess oil!). If you're using lotion, this should be enough to coat your entire hand and give you a good idea if you need more and if the lotion you've chosen is doing the job. If you use a citrus based soap, lather up then use hot water. This helps the soap latch onto those base bleach molecules and lift them out.

TL;DR in English: Use select natural oils, lotions, and soaps. Apply a little at a time. Apply a few dollops. Lather up.

This setup results in a brightly illuminated glass object, with black lines creating a silhouette-like effect. Color and detail are generally easier to emphasize compared to the white-line setup, and the bright lighting can make weak reflections and glare invisible. Place the glass in a black photo box if you have one, or surround it with black matte barriers underneath, behind, and to each side of the object. Pull these side barriers close together, or use additional barriers, to block light from the front and leave only a small gap for your camera lens.  You can hold off on completely enclosing the area until after the setup below is complete, but keep this final goal in mind. You may need to use a "ceiling" for the area as well, if reflections are getting in over the top of the walls. This can be white or grey; the brighter the light source you'll be using, the darker this panel can be. Set this up directly behind the object from the perspective of the camera, and make it no wider than the object itself. If the panel is too wide, you could end up with white reflections or lens flare interfering with the clean, silhouetted appearance. You can use a specialized diffuser, or imitate the effect by covering your light source with a white tissue. Point this at the background panel. Use flags or barriers if necessary to avoid illuminating the glass directly. You're going for a soft "spotlight" effect on the background, which will in turn send light through the glass toward the camera. You can also try illuminating the glass directly from behind, sending the light through a sheet of white acrylic or a transparent canvas. This setup may be more difficult to adjust. Photograph the glass, and take a look at the result. If you aren't satisfied, adjust the brightness of the light source, or use additional photo flags or barriers to eliminate undesirable reflections.

It generally takes three bundles of shingles to cover 100 square feet (9.29 square meters). Asphalt shingle "bundles" are actually sealed in packages (the term bundle comes from wooden shingles which actually came tied up with wire in bundles). Measure your roof and buy appropriately. Measure the length and width of the individual sections of the roof, multiplying them together to determine the area. Add the areas of each section together, then divide by 100 to get the correct number of squares. Multiply this number by 3 to get the number of bundles you'll need to buy. This will help determine how the shingles will lay on the roof width. Most asphalt shingles are 3 feet (91.4 centimeters) in length. If your roof's width is not an even multiple of the shingle's length, you will have a partial piece on one end of each row. The bottom row of shingles must hang past the edge of the roof. For a wood shingle roof you would have to cut the shingles that go on the edge to create a straight line to accommodate this. Start removing the shingles at the peak farthest from the trash container, or the corner you want to collect the shingles in. Use a garden fork or a roofing shovel to pull them off quickly, use the hammer-method and go by hand for a more thorough job. Make sure that you protect the sides of the house and the windows during this process, such as by leaning a large piece of plywood against the house below where you are working. Otherwise you might break a window or damage the siding.   Pry up the nails and loosening the ridge caps. It's ok if you don't get all the nails at first, because you'll have a chance to go back through and remove them later. Remove the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys in the roof. Flashing in the valleys will almost always be trashed, especially. Some roofers will keep some of the flashing that's in good shape, but it's probably worth junking it all when you've got the chance. Sweep the roof as clean as possible. Remove nails that didn't come up earlier. Reattach...

TL;DR in English: Get the right number of shingles for the job. Measure the length of a shingle as it lies across the roof. Remove old shingles and flashing. Clean the roof. Install underlayment and new flashing. Choose the kind of starter course you will use. Use chalk lines to make a guide for yourself.

When you’re prepping the surface of your acrylic furniture, avoid using a dusting cloth to remove dirt and dust. These types of cloths can trap particles that won’t seem big to the naked eye, but will scratch your furniture. Even though acrylic furniture is clear, you shouldn’t use the same cleaners that you do on glass windows to clean it. Cleaners specifically made for plastics, like Brillianize cleaner, is the best option for cleaning your acrylic furniture. It prevents scratches and won’t break down the acrylic, giving it a cloudy appearance. Squirt a small amount of cleaner onto the piece of furniture you’re cleaning and then polish that area with your cloth. Once you’re done with that small area, move on to the next. Don’t spray the whole piece of furniture and then wipe it down.

TL;DR in English: Avoid using dusting cloths. Use cleaners specifically designed for plastics. Clean small areas at a time.

You should type up the purchase and sale agreement so that it is legible. You don't want the other side to claim that you hid information using small fonts, so set the font to a readable size and style. Times New Roman 12 point works for many people. If you are going to use your sale and purchase agreement more than once, then set it up as a template. Include blank lines for information that will change from contract to contract, such as the name of the purchaser and the purchase price. At the top of the page, you should center the title between the left- and right-hand margins. Title your document something like “Purchase and Sale Agreement” or “Agreement to Purchase Real Estate.” You need to identify the purchaser and the seller at the start of your agreement. You could include blank lines for their names or insert a brief paragraph like the following: “[Insert the name of purchaser] (‘Purchaser’), offers and agrees to purchase from [insert the name of seller] (‘Seller’), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the property legally described as [insert legal description].” You need to accurately describe the property in your agreement, so find the legal description of property, which is on the deed. You can get a copy of the deed at your county’s Recorder of Deeds office. See Get a Legal Description of Property for more information.

TL;DR in English: Format the document. Insert a title. Identify the parties to the sale. Add the legal description of property.

Safety should be your top priority. It is absolutely crucial to purchase a car seat designed for your infant’s age and size. There are three basic models on the market: rear-facing infant-only car seats designed for babies under 35 pounds, infant-toddler combination seats that can be rear-facing for babies under 45 pounds and then turned around to face forward for toddlers, and booster seats made to position children over four years old for optimal seatbelt usage. If you have an infant, choose an appropriate seat.  If possible, buy a car seat before your baby is born. If you travel by car, you’ll need it to take your infant home from the hospital or birth center. And the sooner you familiarize yourself with the seat – and the manual, which you should read carefully – the easier it will be to use when the time comes. If your family has two cars, consider purchasing a separate car seat for each. The added expense may be worth it: it will save you time in the future and prevent the rushed installation mistakes that sometimes occur when you hurry to move a car seat from one vehicle to another. Car seats should be installed in the back seat of your car, and, if possible, in the middle seat. Double check the instructions in the user manual to be sure that you are installing the seat correctly. Make sure all belts and latches are secure. For infants, the seat should be rear-facing – this position is the safest for babies. In many locations, you can go to a police or fire station (or sometimes other places) to have a professional check the installation of your car seat for safety. Check online for options in your area. One good site, which will let you search for locations in your zip code, (if applicable) is: http://www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/cps/index.htm. Car seat laws vary from state to state and country to country, so always check to make sure that your infant has safe, appropriate equipment.

TL;DR in English: Choose an infant car seat. Install the infant car seat correctly. Know the laws.

Before bacon can be battered and deep fried, it needs to be heated through to make sure it doesn't come out undercooked. Lay out your bacon strips on a pan, plate or baking dish, cutting them as needed so they'll fit in the fryer. Bake, pan fry or microwave the bacon until it's done, then allow it to cool.  Thick-cut bacon will work best for battering since it will be less brittle and makes for a heartier bite. Try to get your bacon slightly less done, as it will be cooked a second time later. Combine 3 eggs, 2 cups of whole milk and 3 cups of all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they form a thick batter. Add salt, pepper and other spices to taste. Refrigerate the batter for about 20 minutes to lower the temperature and help it set up.  Seasoned salt, garlic salt, onion powder, cayenne pepper and paprika all make great optional flavor additions to fry batter. The colder the batter is, the better it will fry to a crispy finish and protect the bacon from overcooking. Once the batter has cooled, take it out of the refrigerator and grab your precooked bacon. Dip the bacon into the batter with a pair of tongs, being sure each strip is generously coated on both sides. The bacon is now ready for the fryer.  Give the batter a quick stir after it comes out of the refrigerator. If it looks too thick, add an extra splash of milk and whisk again. If you're using a thin-sliced bacon, batter the strips by hand so they don't break. Place 2-3 strips of bacon into the hot oil and allow it to start frying. The number of strips you'll be able to cook per batch will mostly depend on the size of your pan or fryer. Try not to put in too many pieces at one time, or they could stick together or cause the batter to slough off. Watch out for popping oil when you put the bacon in the deep fryer. Even a small splatter could be extremely painful. Give the bacon a little time to absorb the oil and start sizzling. Since the light, airy batter will cause the bacon to float on top of the oil, the...

TL;DR in English: Prepare the bacon. Mix up a simple batter. Coat the bacon thoroughly. Drop the bacon in the fryer. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the fryer and serve. Finished.

There are a variety of unpowered, handheld engraving tools you can use. To make detailed pictures, such as you might see in a 19th-century book, select two or three tools for different effects. Here are three common types of traditional, handheld engraving tools:   Spitstickers are used to carve fluid lines.  Gravers produce lines that swell or shrink as you cut, depending on changes in the tool's angle.  Scorpers, with round or square tips, gouge out large areas of the wood to produce white space in the printed image. This tool is probably not necessary if you are not printing. Take a bottle of black pen ink, and use a brush or a cloth to barely cover a flat, wooden block. This will make the areas you've already cut stand out, so it's important not to use so much ink that it soaks down below the surface. Let the ink dry completely. Once it has, check whether there is a rough "nap" to the wood. If there is, remove it by burnishing firmly with a paper towel. A small, leather sandbag makes an excellent support for the wood, providing a firm backing regardless of the direction you push. Clamping the wood to a table is not recommended, since you'll need to move the block around as you engrave. Hold the tool as you would a computer mouse, with your hand lightly cupped around the handle. Press against one side of the metal stem with your index finger, and press the other side with your thumb. Let the heel of the handle rest in your cupped palm; when engraving, you'll push against the heel to provide pressure. Press the tool into the wood at a shallow angle to engrave. Use your other hand to turn the wooden block slowly as you push forward with the tool. Cut no more than 1 centimeter (less than ½ inch) at a time before adjusting the position of your hand. It will likely take some practice before you can cut smoothly.  If the tool quickly embeds itself and halt, the angle is probably too steep.  "Graver" tools can be gradually moved to a steeper or shallower angle to widen or narrow the line drawn. This can take some...

TL;DR in English: Select engraving tools. Apply a thin layer of ink over the wood. Check that the surface is prepared. Support the wood (optional). Hold the engraving tools. Engrave the wood. Experiment with your approach. Add ink to the woodcut. Transfer your design onto paper. Clean your tools.

This will aid in the filling of the sausage linings. A manual mincer and filler can cost anywhere between $25 and $75. It should be stainless steel for easy cleaning. A small mincer will clamp to your kitchen counter or another surface and you will turn a crank to insert the sausage stuffing into a casing. Place used dishes in the dishwasher immediately, in order to reduce the possibility of contamination. Wash anything that came into contact with raw meat. Buy 1 2.2lbs. (1kg) of minced pork shoulder. You can also buy the pork shoulder and grind it yourself if you own a meat grinder. (200g) of pork back fat. You can dice some back fat at home, but you may need to buy it from a butcher. Using back fat in addition to the pork shoulder will increase the fat content of the meat, making it juicier and more like traditional Spanish chorizo. You can leave out this ingredient if you would prefer a leaner product.

TL;DR in English: Buy a sausage making/filling machine. Clean and disinfect the area you plan to use to make sausage. Procure your pork. Buy 7 oz.

Now that you've completed barbering school and received your license, you may be tempted to rest on your laurels and take things as they come. Even if most of your clientele prefers not to be shaved by straight razor, you never know when this service will be requested. Some barbers maintain their skill-set by practicing on themselves daily. This is especially common when you are just starting out. You won't have a client base to support you, so you might be hired to barber for commission. This, most usually, entails a percentage split, where you split your profits with the barbershop.  A 60% take home with 40% returned to the barbershop is not uncommon while you build your clientele. As your client base grows and you gain more regular clients, you should renegotiate so that instead of paying commission per client you are instead playing a flat fee for use of the chair. This is referred to as "chair rental." In this case, you will not have to split any profits with the establishment, you will only be expected to pay a set fee. If you are cutting your way to owning your own barbershop, you'll need to shop around for insurance and be sure you have it before opening shop. Most states will require you to have some kind of legal coverage. With online services, like Facebook, Twitter, and Yelp, you can get word out to new potential customers about your services and skills. However, it can take time before word gets out and the clients come in. You should be prepared both financially and emotionally to wait out opening doldrums. Quality products are an investment in your business, and customers will appreciate quality tools and a comfortable environment. You should also pay attention to trends in style. If you notice locals in your area preferring a kind of wax or some other product, you may want to include that you carry this product in an advertisement. Some barbers, especially those who have been around a long time, can make ends meet offering only the basics. As a newly licensed barber, you should consider...

TL;DR in English: Keep your skills sharp. Understand working for commission. Work your way up to renting a chair. Insure yourself against liability. Advertise locally and be patient. Optimize your products. Provide unique and exceptional service.

It's easy to fall into a case of early senioritis - where you don't want to do any of your schoolwork, because you feel like you're almost done. However, allowing your grades to drop will show up on your transcripts, which can potentially harm your opportunities for colleges and jobs. If you slack off too much or skip school, you may even put your graduation at risk. Don't let the lack of motivation in junior year bite you later on! Remember, if you fail a class in junior year, you don't have a lot of time to make it up - you'll either have to take summer school, which will take time away from your summer, or you'll have to take it again in senior year, which can result in you being overly stressed out. You'll need to meet your school's credit requirement in order to graduate, and by the time you're in junior year, you'll only have two years to make up any missing credits. Talk to your school counselor to make sure you're on track with your credits, to make plans for junior and senior year, and to figure out how to make up any missing or incomplete credits.  You'll usually be encouraged to take advanced classes in junior year, though it's best to only take advanced classes that you can handle and in subjects you enjoy.  Usually, your school's mandatory classes will cover a fair amount of your needed credits, but just taking mandatory classes won't get you all the credits you need. Check with your school counselor to see what you still need. If you're in AP or IB classes, or even if you just want the college credit, it's a good idea to pay attention to your classes and start studying for the advanced tests. Look up when the testing dates are and mark them down, and set aside time to study for them. It'll make it easier to achieve high scores - especially if your teachers are also giving you advice for the tests! You probably already have a homework schedule figured out from freshman or sophomore year; now's not the time to let it slide, even amongst college visits or your work. Junior year is often one of the...

Being independent builds off of taking control of your life. You'll need to be able to take care of yourself in any way you need to. That can include day-to-day personal maintenance, taking care of your home, going to work on time, being productive, and managing your money wisely.  Independence can take different forms at different ages. The key is to show independence that is appropriate for your age. Independence can also involve age-appropriate responsibilities. As you get older, your responsibilities will change, and you'll need to be able to accomplish what's expected of you. A teenager has dramatically different levels of independence than someone in their 20s or 30s, just as that individual would have different levels of independence than someone in their 50s or 60s. Look to peers you know and respect for a living example of what someone in your age range must do to be independent. If you're struggling with independence, try talking to a life coach or career counselor. You can find these services by searching online or in a phone book. As an adult, you'll need goals of your own creation. Goals help give your life meaning and purpose by giving you something to strive towards, and offering you accomplishments worth celebrating. Implementing your goals and working towards your next great accomplishment requires you to prioritize your life, both personally and professionally. When you make goals for yourself, studies show that S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-bound) goals are the most likely to succeed. A S.M.A.R.T. goal should address the following components:  Specific - narrow down the scope of your goal. Rather than dealing with broad, generalized terms, focus on a clearly-defined outcome that you hope to achieve. Measurable - decide how you will measure success, both incremental and long-term. You'll need to know that you've achieved your goal at the end, and you'll need a way to track your progress along the way. Attainable - make sure that your goal can feasibly be...

TL;DR in English: Be independent. Develop and implement SMART goals. Strive for integrity and honesty. Take responsibility for your life.

Before lining your cabinet shelves, you’ll need to empty them out completely. Take out all of your non-perishable bottles, cans, and boxes of food as well as all dishes and cooking utensils. Put these items on a nearby flat surface that’s out of the way, such as your kitchen table. Soak a clean cloth in either all-purpose cleaner or vinegar diluted by water and wring out the cloth well. Wipe down the interior of your cabinets with the cloth. Use a toothbrush to scrub the edges, corners, and cracks. Keep the cabinet doors open for a half hour or so after you’ve cleaned them so that they can dry out naturally. Touch the shelves after this amount of time has gone by to check that they’re fully dry.

TL;DR in English: Remove all food and dishes from your cabinets. Clean the interior with all-purpose cleaner or a vinegar solution. Let the shelves air dry.

If you find yourself in a potential or actual conflict with another driver, back off and give them some space on the road. If the other driver begins to drive recklessly, slow down and change your route. You want to  stay calm and avoid getting into a traffic accident with this person. Remember that an angry driver is dangerous. They can cause significant harm with their car. In some cases, a driver may even be carrying a weapon. Regardless of whether you feel confident that you are in the right, it is incredibly dangerous to engage and escalate an argument in cases of road rage. You can  avoid road rage or reduce the chance that anger will grow by putting distance between yourself and the other driver. Let other cars into your lane to create a buffer between you and the angry driver. In the midst of a heated exchange, eye contact can escalate anger. The other driver may mistake eye contact as a taunt or a personal affront regardless of your intentions. As you allow the other driver to pass, keep your eyes on the road ahead of you. Roll-up your windows and lock your doors. This will put a fairly strong barrier between you and the other motorist. This alone does not ensure your safety, but a buffer can deter or slow an attacker. Remember that the other driver may already be angry from another experience. Their anger may be displaced, but it can be dangerous. Do not try to reason with a person expressing road rage. If you are still moving and the other driver begins to follow you, do not drive to your home or place of work. Keep a distance between an enraged driver and yourself and prevent them from learning where they can find you. If the other driver is aggressively pursuing you, look for a safe neutral place that will get you out of traffic. A police station or a fire department is a good option. If you cannot find one, look for a parking lot of a busy shopping center. Do not drive home or into enclosed spaces such as parking structures.

TL;DR in English: Don't engage. Let the angry driver pass. Avoid eye contact. Stay in your car. Do not lead an angry driver to your home. Seek a safe place.

Many teens who have lost a parent as a child seem to be searching for someone to fill that void in their teenage years. Be open to the idea of guiding and mentoring the teen during these difficult years. Strive to be a positive role model for the teen and avoid exposing them to destructive behaviors. This may also include supporting the teen emotionally or financially. This is a very delicate situation and it's important to remind the teen that you are not trying to replace their parent, but to help honor them by supporting the teen. The teen you are mentoring will appreciate your genuine concern for their lost parent. It will give them a chance share memories (if they have them) and family stories. Also, make an effort to understand the circumstances around the parent's death. This will help you be more sensitive around tough topics. For example, if you know the teen's parent died in a car accident, you might be more patient if the teen seems timid in the driver's seat. Although grief takes many forms, some methods of grieving can cause long-term damage. Be sure to watch for signs of drinking, drug use, or other harmful methods of grieving and try to guide the teen to healthier methods of grieving.  Warning signs of dangerous behavior can be subtle. People are unlikely to witness drinking or drug use directly, but may observe lying, significant weight loss, changes in sleeping patterns, etc. Suggest a physical activity to help channel their grief into something positive and healthy. Running, hiking, or yoga are all great physical activities that could help alleviate stress and center your emotions. If the teen discusses thoughts of suicide or hurting themselves, seek professional help immediately. Grief can last for a long time, especially in children and teens. Find out if there are any specific days that are more difficult for the teen. Many teens will struggle with holidays such as Christmas, or the deceased parent's birthday.  Try to avoid downtime during these days. Keeping the teen busy will help...

TL;DR in English: Become a parental figure in their life. Learn about the parent who was lost. Watch for warning signs. Know what holidays are hard.

There are several varieties of cranberry plants that can be used in home growing. The variety you choose will depend on what you intend to use the berries for.  Howes cranberries are small, red berries native to Massachusetts. They are easy to grow and will stay fresh for a long time after harvesting, if stored correctly. Stevens cranberries are a hybrid variety of cranberry designed for productivity and disease resistance. They are large and bright red in color.  Two more varieties are Ben Lear (large, burgundy-colored berries) and Early Black (small, deep red berries). However, these varieties are not recommended for first time growers as they are more difficult to care for and are more prone to disease and insect infestation than the other varieties. Cranberries are best grown in cooler climates. Consult a USDA plant hardiness zone map. Cranberries should be grown between zones two and five. This includes much of the northern and Midwestern United States. Cranberries can be planted at various times throughout the year, depending on the age of the plant.  Cuttings and seedlings can be planted throughout autumn, from October to early November. They can also be planted in springtime, from the middle of April to the end of May.  3 year old rooted plants -- which are still actively growing -- can sometimes be planted in summer, provided they are purchased in pots. When it comes to soil, cranberry plants have unique requirements -- they need soil with a low pH value and a high level of organic matter. As a result, it is often necessary to replace your existing soil instead of trying to alter it.  The average size for a cranberry plot is 4 foot (1.2 m) by 8 foot (2.4 m). However, if you are only growing a single plant, a 2 foot (0.6 m) by 2 foot (0.6 m) square will do just fine. Dig out the existing soil in the cranberry plot, to a depth of 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm). Fill the plot in with peat moss, then mix in 1/2 pound of bone meal and 1 pound of blood meal. Optionally, you can add 1 cup of epsom salts...

TL;DR in English: Choose a variety of cranberry. Plant at the right time of year. Prepare the soil. Plant the cuttings or seedlings. Alternatively, grow the cranberries in a container.

Many companies manufacture products specifically designed to prevent glasses from fogging. These are either a spray or gel and, when applied directly to your lens, will reduce fog by forming a barrier that protects against moisture condensing. Most products require you to spray both sides of the lens, let dry, and wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Some products suggest longer dry times, while others require the spray or gel be rinsed off prior to wiping. Check product packaging for specific instructions. These pre-treated cloths are convenient and easy to use. Simply wipe both sides of the lens using the pre-packaged wipe. These wipes are made for only one use, so just throw it away when you're finished. Check with your eye doctor about the availability and cost of applying a one-time coating to your lenses to permanently prevent fog. This option may be particularly useful when there are drastic and/or frequent temperature changes or if the fog creates a safety hazard. Be prepared to leave your glasses for a few days and spend between $50-$100.

TL;DR in English: Purchase an anti-fog product to treat your glasses at home. Purchase anti-fog wipes for on-the-go protection. Invest in a professional anti-fog treatment for a longer lasting solution.

You should only use an unlocking service if your carrier refuses to unlock your phone. Reputable services include "Free Unlocks" and "CellServices (around $20), as well as UnlockBase (around $10).  This menu contains information about your carrier (e.g., Verizon or Sprint), your phone model number, and your IMEI number. The unlock service will need this International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number in order to issue a code to you. The unlock service should not ask you for personal information such as your home address. You may have to enter your phone number and name as it appears on your contract. Most unlocking services support PayPal--your most secure option--in addition to standard Visa cards. If you want to use PayPal but don't have an account, set one up for this transaction. Most services will send you your code within an hour, though some take as long as three business days. Most unlock services will tell you approximately how long you'll be waiting for the unlock code on their website. You will need to enter this number into your phone after installing a new SIM. To activate the unlock code input, you'll need to replace the current SIM. You can find SIM cards at their respective carrier stores (e.g., a Sprint SIM card would come from a Sprint store). Turning off your phone will prevent the SIM card from being damaged when you remove it. It should be located on the side of your phone, on the same side as the Power button. The SIM card tray should slide out.  Your card removal tool should have come with your phone, but you can also (gently) use a bent paper clip for this step. Your service provider can also open your SIM slot for you. Set it aside in a safe place, such as a plastic bag. It should only fit one way, with the gold strips pointing down (away from the screen side of the phone). This should turn your phone back on.  Your phone may reboot after this point. If you switched from AT&T to Verizon, for example, the service provider name in the information bar at the top of your screen...

TL;DR in English: Ask your carrier if your phone is eligible for a free unlock. Search for "HTC phone unlocking service". Open your "Settings" menu. Select the "About Phone" tab, then open "Phone Identity". Scroll down to find your IMEI number, then write it down. Enter your IMEI number and email address into the unlock service's site. Purchase your code using a secure payment method. Check your email for an unlock code. When you receive your unlock code, write it down. Purchase a SIM card for your new network. Hold down the power button, then select the "power down" option. Find the SIM card access slot. Insert your card removal tool into the hole next to the slot. Remove the old SIM card from the tray. Insert your new SIM card into the tray. Hold down the power button. If you have a SIM pin number, enter it now. Enter your unlock code. Confirm that your unlock was successful.

A fetish can be a sexual desire regarding almost anything imaginable. People have fetishes about feet, breasts, hands, fat stomachs, flatulence, amputated limbs, shoes, animals, animal furs, and thousands of other things. Learning to accept your fetish starts with identifying ways you are sexually aroused.  More men than women are thought to have fetishes, but this estimate is likely misleading. Because men tend to experience erections and consistent ejaculation, women and genderqueer people are less often identified as having fetishes in research studies. At least 1/4 of the adult videos produced in the US depict fetishes. While there's nothing wrong with having a fetish, it is never okay to cause harm to another person or yourself. Most of the time, fetishes do not result in harm to other people. Harm to yourself can happen primarily if you become so fixated on your fetish that it interferes with your relationship, your work, or your health. Masturbating to fetishes might be a safe way to participate in certain fetishes that can't actually be safely practiced (such as sex with animals). If you have a fetish that might result in physical injury to yourself or someone else, learn to engage in it safely. Talk to others in the fetish community about how to maintain safe sexual practices within your fetish. Some researchers believe that fetishes are so common that they should be understood as being part of typical, healthy sexual exploration. Understanding your fetish as normal is an important step to take. If you don't accept your fetish as a normal part of yourself, you're unlikely to enjoy your fetish.  For many people, the fetish object only needs to be present at the beginning of a sexual encounter. A fetish item can be something that you require to be present before becoming sexually aroused, or it might not be required for you to enjoy sex. To enjoy your fetish, remember to keep your sex practices safe, sane and consensual. It's important to remember to take care of yourself and your sexual partner,...

TL;DR in English: Identify your fetish. Consider whether your fetish harms anyone. Realize that fetishes and kinks are normal. Explore your sexuality safely. Avoid isolation.

In some cases, you may even be able to convince somewhat popular though still relatively unknown bands to allow you to shoot their music videos. This will help you learn how to manage the expectations and on-camera movements of band members, and could result in suitable material for your demo reel. Not all directors are skilled at film editing, but having a general knowledge of it will help you to coach the editors you work with to your desired result. Take some time to play around with film editing software until you are comfortable with the basics. Also, you should always make sure any finished productions are well-edited. You may want to consider taking a class on film editing, specifically. There's a great deal of psychology that goes into piecing together a story from separate shots, and knowing this can put you ahead of the curve. In particular, on-spec/brand competitions should receive priority, as these generally are more highly regarded than others. Try not to get discouraged if it takes you a while before you see any success at one of these. Competition can be fierce.  Keep improving upon your method and techniques as you make videos for competitions. Critique can be difficult to hear, but can result in drastic improvements. When you finally win or achieve a "shortlisted" or "runner up" ranking, you should include this information in any bio, personal statement, or resume you submit. These sorts of awards serve as proof that you are a serious film maker. Your demo reel is a short clip that shows prospective clients/employers what you can do as a music video director. It should include clips of your finest work, and shouldn't exceed more than 90 seconds in total length. It should be specific to the line of video production that you want to work in, like pop, heavy metal, or country.  These reels can either contain short snippets of many different scenes, or a few longer samples strung together. Don't forget to include your name and contact information in your demo reel. While trying to craft the...

If your cover is removable, either run it through the dryer, if the label permits it, or hang it to air dry.  Lay the plastic surface out to air dry. Once you have rinsed the plastic and metal parts of the seat, you can simply leave it sitting someplace to air dry. Wiping it with a dry cloth will expedite the process, but in general, it’s best to allow several hours or a day for it to dry completely. As noted, always only air dry harness straps and buckles. If you cannot remove the cover, you can leave the entire seat, cover and all, in a sunny place to dry. If you don't have sunshine, it will just take more time.  You can use odor-eliminating sprays on the base and fabric cover if desired.  Remember, however, that your child's skin will be in close contact with the cover, so be mindful of the materials in your chosen spray. Don't spray down the harness straps.  Just rely on air as the odor eliminator. Once it has dried completely, reattach the fabric cover to the seat base. Refer to the instruction manual if necessary. You basically need to reverse the process you used to remove the cover, so if you took mental or physical notes, or a picture, video, or sketch, you should be in good shape. Pull the strap back through the holes correctly, in the right order, to properly install the seat and make sure that it is safe for your child. Again, refer to the instruction manual if necessary.  Make sure that the straps do not twist when you thread them through the seat. Twists in the straps can cause them to wear out faster, and they may rub uncomfortably against your baby's skin. Even worse, if the straps are severely twisted, they may not hold your infant securely in a collision. If you have any concern about your re-installation, take your seat to a fire department or other site where free car seat safety checks are done.  Someone there will be happy to ensure a safe installation. Likewise, if you have any concerns about the integrity of any components, especially straps and buckles, replace them or the entire...

TL;DR in English: Dry the parts thoroughly. Combat odors with time and sunshine. Replace the cover. Reattach the straps.

You can make an ice pack using two parts water and one part alcohol. The alcohol will prevent the water from completely freezing. To start, mix your water and rubbing alcohol together in a mixing bowl.  Two parts water to one part alcohol means for every two units of water, there should be one unit of alcohol. For example, if you're using two cups of water, use one cup of alcohol. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, you can pick some up at a drug store. Be sure to keep the rubbing alcohol mixture away from infants and small children. Rubbing alcohol can be dangerous when ingested and may irritate the eyes. Choose a Ziploc bag that's the right size for the ice pack you want. Pour the water and alcohol mixture into the bag. Go slowly to avoid spilling any of the mixture.  You may want to lay a towel down below where you're adding the water alcohol mixture to catch any that accidentally drips. It's a good idea to double bag for added strength. This will not diminish the effectiveness of the ice pack. Plastic bags should also be kept out of reach of children, and used as part of an ice pack only when supervised. Plastic bags pose a suffocation risk to unattended children. You want to make sure there is no air in the bag before you freeze it. Use your hands to press out any excess air before zipping the bag closed. If you have a vacuum sealer, use this to remove excess air from the bag. Place the bag in the refrigerator. In about 12 hours, it should be semi-frozen. You can now use the ice pack to ice anywhere you're sore.

TL;DR in English: Mix the water and rubbing alcohol. Add the mixture to a Ziploc bag. Remove any excess air. Refrigerate the bag for 12 hours.

When you survive a heart attack, it is essential to follow your doctor's advice for recovery, both in the days immediately following the occurrence and over the long term. There is a good chance you will be prescribed medication to reduce blood clotting. You will most likely take this medication for the rest of your life. It is quite common for people who have survived a heart attack to experience bouts of depression. Depression can stem from embarrassment, self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, guilt over previous lifestyle choices, and fear or uncertainty about the future. A supervised physical recovery program, renewed social connections with family, friends and co-workers, and professional psychological help are some ways in which survivors can return to normal life after a heart attack. If you have a heart attack you are at a higher risk of a second heart attack; nearly one-third of the heart attacks in the United States each year happen to people who have survived a previous attack. The following factors will put you at an even higher risk of a second heart attack:  Smoking. If you smoke, there is almost twice the chance that you will have a heart attack.  High cholesterol. An unhealthy cholesterol level is one of the most important contributors to a heart attack and other heart complications. Cholesterol can be especially dangerous when it occurs in conjunction with high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking.  Diabetes, particularly if not controlled properly, can increase the chance of a heart attack.  Obesity. Being overweight can raise your cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and lead to heart complications. Additionally, obesity can lead to diabetes, another factor that puts you at risk of a second heart attack. Medical complications from an unhealthy lifestyle put you at a greater risk of a second heart attack.  Inactivity, obesity, high cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure, stress, and smoking all increase the risk of a heart attack.  Reduce your consumption of saturated and trans fats....

TL;DR in English: Follow professional medical advice after the heart attack. Be aware of changes in your emotions and outlook. Know the risks of a second heart attack. Make changes in your lifestyle.

St. John's Wort is a plant with bright yellow flowers and a few black dots along the margins of the flower (depending of the species). The leaves of the plant have transparent dots. Each flower will have five petals. You can find the flower growing in fields and pastures in sunny areas.  Flowers bloom from late June to early September.  To harvest the plant cut off the upper first third of the plant. Dry the flowers by hanging them upside down in a cool, dry place.  Once the flowers are dried, store them in an airtight glass container. You can keep them for up to one year. Find a picture of the flower and take it with you when you go harvesting. You can buy seeds and grow your own St. John's Wort as well. Plant your seeds in early spring after the last frost. To be safe, plant your seeds indoors first, and then replant outside in late spring when the plant is about two inches tall. Your flowers will not bloom until the second year. If you need your St. John's Wort immediately, it is best to harvest the plant or buy the dried flowers. If you do not want to grow or harvest your own, you can buy dried St. John's Wort from a store or online. You can then make your own tea and oil with the dried plant. Look for plants that were grown organically and harvested within the last year. Take the flowering tops and a couple of inches of the plant and place them in a glass jar. Cover the flowers with olive oil. Set the jar in a sunny window for two to four weeks until the oil becomes bright red. Once the oil is red, use a strainer to separate the flowers and the oil. Pour the oil into a bottle with a lid and keep it in a dark cupboard. The oil should last for a year. You will need 1/4 a cup of the plant if you are using fresh St. John's Wort for your tea. If you are using dried plant, you will only need two teaspoons. Pour a cup of boiling water over the plant and let it sit for 5 minutes. Strain the water to remove all of the plant and drink the tea. You can add honey and lemon to improve the taste.

Many rapists think that they can simply overpower a victim and have their way with them. They are arrogant, but they are also wrong. The more you put up a fight, the better chances your attacker will give up and look for an easier target. Don't make yourself an easy target. Try using anything at your disposal to defend yourself — things everyone has, such as nails and fists, or everyday objects, such as umbrellas and rocks, to ward off the attacker.  The good news is that, as late as 2001, only 11% of would-be rapists used a weapon during the attempted rape. That means 9 out of 10 rapists had no more natural defense than you likely do. Carrying out a rape with a weapon means a lot more prison time. If the rapist is carrying a weapon, follow your instincts and take cues from the rapist. If you survive the sexual assault, you've done the right thing. If you've got pepper spray handy, take it out and hold it out at arm's length, aiming for the attacker's eyes while shouting "I've got pepper spray! I'll use it if I need to!" If you don't have any pepper spray, you can try putting your hand in your bag and yelling the same threat — "I've got pepper spray! I'll use it if I need to!" — trying to outsmart the would-be attacker. Any rapist who's been stung by pepper spray before is very likely to think twice before assaulting you. An informal sampling of rapists in prison found that many would leave a target alone if she threatened to fight back. Say "Stay away! I will fight back if you get closer!" Rapists are looking for easy targets; people talking on their phones while walking, rifling through their bags, etc. If you show them you won't go down without a fight, you could scare them off. If an attacker wraps their arms around you or is close enough to touch, first try to pinch them in one of two places: inside the upper arm (between the elbow and the armpit) or the upper inner thigh. Pinch hard; pinch like your life depends on it (because it could!) For context, try pinching yourself in either of these places. It...

TL;DR in English: Try putting up a fight if the attacker approaches you empty-handed. Use pepper spray — or the threat of it — to deter your attacker. If you suspect a rapist is following you, don't be afraid to tell them you'll fight back. Try pinching them where it hurts. Punch, kick, claw, or otherwise aim for the groin. Stomp on the attacker's toes or bend their fingers back, if possible. Learn SING.

Many types of navigation maps exist, including hiking, biking and nature trail maps, highway maps, and lake and nautical maps. The most classic and old-fashioned way to plan a road trip or some other excursion is to map it out on a road map.  Preview a day's hike or bike ride through a nature park by examining a map. You may be able to find out how difficult the trail is, the distance you'll be traveling and other sites of interest along the trail.  Plan a trip by viewing highway maps. Major highways and county roads are often listed on maps and provide you with many options when traveling. Maps can be used to provide key information about a detour or road construction. Departments of transportation use maps with detailed information about construction, detours or road closures so that travelers can be informed about the latest road conditions. Maps are often used in zoning and in construction to determine how far things are from one another, and how far apart they should be. Planning and zoning committees regularly use maps to divide districts or plan infrastructure work, and for demonstrating ownership. Deeds and contracts include maps with legal descriptions.  Some maps are used to predict crime activity. Criminal forensics teams use maps to pinpoint crime locations and predict future behavior of suspected criminals. Indicate political information with maps. Voters are often directed to their appropriate polling locations via precinct maps. Politicians represent constituents based on geographical location, easily represented by maps. Demonstrate locations of potential projects for the community, such as new parks, parking lots or community centers. Meteorologists create maps to demonstrate incoming storms, cold and warm fronts, and temperature changes. Viewers can identify predictions for their areas by looking at the map.

TL;DR in English: Plan a trip with a road map. Use an area map to coordinate with others. Investigate spatial relationships with area maps. Consult a meteorological map to examine weather forecasts.

If you purchase a new grape plant, you will likely find that it has a dense root system and many shoots rising out from the top. Immediately before transplanting the plant into your garden, you should cut the shoots off, only leaving the strongest intact. Look at the buds on your remaining shoot. Count off the lowest three buds, and cut the shoot back just above the third bud. After you transplant the grapevine, new green shoots will begin to form. Once these shoots reach a length between 8 and 12 inches (20.3 and 30.5 cm), choose the best one and remove all the other shoots. The shoot should be strong and nearly upright, and it should also come directly out of your original stem. Do not choose a shoot coming out of the underground root system. Support your remaining shoot by tying it to a stake or fence. Tie both the top and bottom of the shoot.  Throughout this first summer, continue tying your shoot to its support system, keeping it as straight as possible. This shoot will act as the permanent trunk of your grapevine and will last throughout the duration of the vine's life.

TL;DR in English: Reduce the shoots. Cut back the buds. Remove all but one shoot after new shoots start growing. Maintain your main shoot.

The author will be on the outside of the book or on the title page. It's ok if there is more than one author. For our example, let's say your author's name is Georgia Smith. The publication date should be on the back of the title page. Use the most recent date. For the example, let's say the book's publication date is 1995. You have two basic ways that you can make a citation. You can name your author at the beginning of the sentence like this, using only the last name: “According to Smith (1995), leaves turn red in the fall.” Notice that in this instance, the date is in parentheses while “Smith” is not. The other way you can make an in-text citation is to put a citation at the end of the sentence without directly referencing the author in the sentence. This would look like the example: “Leaves turn red in the fall (Smith, 1995).” In this case, both the author and the date are in parenthesis, divided by a comma. Always put the author first and then the date. If you have two authors, you can separate the authors' last names with an ampersand (&). If you have more than two authors, you separate them with commas and an ampersand.  Example of in-text citation for two authors: “Leaves turn read in the fall (Smith & Davis, 1995). Example of in-text citation for three or more authors: “Leaves turn red in the fall (Smith, Davis, & Baxter, 1995).”  With three to five authors, you always list all the authors the first time you cite the source. After that, you'll use “et al.” in this way: “(Smith et al., 1995).” “Et al.” just means “and others.” If you have six or more authors, you will always use the “et al.” version, even with the first citation you make. In some instances, you'll also need the page number to explain where you found the information. You must have the page number if you are using a direct quote. Let's say you found this quote on page 123: “In my experience, leaves change from dark green to red in the fall.” You can cite this information in one of two ways. Whichever way you choose, always put the page...

Before deciding how the season will affect your clothing choices, you should make sure that you understand the wedding’s dress code. Consult the invitation, which will usually make it clear how guests are expected to dress. That way, you won’t dress too formally or casually for the event.  If the invitation says “White Tie”, the wedding has an extremely formal dress code. Women should wear floor length evening gowns, while men are expected to wear a tuxedo with long tails, a white vest, and a black bowtie. If the invitation says “Black Tie”, women can wear a floor length evening gown or a dressy cocktail dress. Men should wear a traditional tux with a cummerbund and bow tie. If the invitation says “Formal” or “Black Tie Optional,” women can wear a floor length dress, a formal cocktail style dress, or dressy separates. Men can wear a traditional tuxedo or a dark suit, white shirt, and tie. If the invitation says “Dressy Casual” or “Semiformal,” women should wear a cocktail dress or a dressy skirt and top. Men should wear a suit. If the invitation says “Festive Attire,” you can have a little more fun with your outfit. Women can wear a cocktail dress in a bold color and pair it with fun accessories, such as a cute hat. Men should wear a suit, but pair it with a fun tie in a bold color or pattern. While you can certainly wear any color that you like no matter what the season, a winter wedding is the perfect opportunity to wear rich, dark colors that fit the season. Black and navy appropriate for winter weddings, but so are jewel tones, such as sapphire, ruby, garnet, emerald, citrine, or amethyst.   Metallic tones such as gold, silver, and bronze, also work well for winter weddings.  Pro tip from wedding planner, Karen Brown: "If you're attending a winter wedding, dress in warm colors like burgundy, brown, purple, gray, and green." While lightweight fabrics such as chiffon and linen are ideal for spring and summer, they’re not the best option for winter weddings. Instead, opt for weighty, textured fabrics that...

TL;DR in English: Consider the dress code. Follow a deep, rich color palette. Choose textured fabrics.

A cowboy's horse is often trained to stand still when the cowboy dismounts and puts one of the reins on the ground.  This is called being "ground-tied." Experienced cowboys develop their own rapport with their horse, and may alter the reins or other elements of the tack. Generally, a cowboy performing ranch work will hold the reins in the left hand and allow them to hang somewhat loosely. This leaves the right hand free for roping cows or other work performed from horseback. Jockeys use the long, looped rein typical in English riding, with rubber grips for increased hold. In a horse race, the jockey pulls low and tight, so that the horse tucks his chin to his chest, in order to collect the horses gait and slow its gallop. This gives both horse and rider balance and allows the jockey a bit of leverage and control.

TL;DR in English: Train your horse to obey ground-tying. Adapt your style for ranch work. Use reins in horse racing.

If you already had a Visa debit card through your bank and need to activate a replacement, you can do so using the same PIN you used for your old card. You can get groceries, gas, or anything else you need at any location where Visa cards are accepted. Run the transaction as debit, rather than credit. Input your existing PIN number when asked, which will activate your card. You can only use this method if you already have a PIN. Find an ATM for your bank. Insert your card and enter your existing PIN, then use your new debit card to make a deposit or withdrawal. The transaction will activate your new card. You must have an existing PIN to activate your card this way.

TL;DR in English: Use your existing PIN. Make a debit purchase anywhere Visa is accepted to activate your card. Activate your new card at an ATM by making a deposit or withdrawal.

When life is bleak, we're not going to laugh no matter what. To see the humorous side of things, we have to be willing. So work on helping him be happy (making someone happy is impossible -- they have to want it) by being your awesome self and gracing his presence with it. By being positive and fun, you're really doing all you can. Be his friend (or whatever is fitting for your relationship), do little things for him, and just try to make his life easier (especially if he's been dealt a sour deck of cards). Let him see the bright side of life so the humor can start flowing. There are few things funnier (and mood-uplifting) than a person that can embarrass themselves and just roll with it. There are few things worse than a person that embarrasses themselves and gets all self-conscious and shameful. So when you spill that soda on yourself, just say that you're saving it for later and that brown looks better on you than white, anyway. Also, it's like two-for-one perfume. You're just being frugal! Studies actually show that embarrassing yourself can actually get people to like you and trust you more. It sort of makes sense -- when you show you're down-to-earth, light-hearted, and just a plain human like they are, it takes away any possible intimidation and stress. Slapstick, physical comedy is the only kind of comedy that's been around for all of human history -- and it still is for a reason. If the witty asides don't come to you naturally, don't stress! You can convince him you're the funniest thing since Tina Fey by just using your non-verbal hilarity.  Popcorn? Uh, yes, please! It's time for a who's-got-better-aim contest. And spaghetti? It's totally Lady & the Tramp time. Standing in line for your favorite movie? Bored so incredibly that you're practically gnawing off your arm for something to do? Why would you not bust out the macarena? As long as he's the type that doesn't embarrass easily, that is.  Try play-fighting, tickling or play-attacking him. The bond of human touch is strong as steel. Is it time...

TL;DR in English: Help him be happy in general. Be willing to embarrass yourself. Get physical. Relax

It's the grey, gear-shaped app in your Android's App Drawer. You'll usually find it beneath the "Wireless & Networks" heading.

TL;DR in English:


Draw a horizontal line 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) from the top of the castle for the roof. Make a door arch that is about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) the height of the keep. Sketch windows along the castle by drawing small arches. Finish the door with some horizontal lines and other decorations. Sketch pennants coming from the top of each tower for optional detail.

If you care at all about the girl and her feelings, then you shouldn’t go around telling your friends, her friends, and anyone you pass in the halls, that you don’t return her feelings. Even if you really don’t like her very much at all as person, you should give her the respect she deserves by telling her the news yourself instead of letting her hear it from someone else.  Put yourself in her shoes — if you really liked a girl, how would it feel to find out that she doesn’t feel the same way from someone else? If her friends ask you if you like her or not, make sure you tell her that you don’t return her feelings instead of having her hear it from one of her friends. Another thing you should try to avoid is telling the girl how you feel when she’s surrounded by people. Though you may think it’s easier to just go up to her at a party or when she’s talking to a bunch of her friends, this will actually catch her off guard and will make her much more upset than if she were alone and had time to process what happened. Though it may be hard to get her completely alone, do the best you can to keep your news private so you cause as little pain as you can. You don’t want her to get extra embarrassed in front of her friends and your friends. Respect her feelings and her privacy. Another mistake guys make when they tell a girl they don’t like her is to lead her on because they feel bad about saying the truth. If you don’t mean it, then don’t say something like, “I’m just not ready for a relationship right now, but maybe we can date in the future” or “You’re the perfect girl for me but I just can’t let myself fall in love” or “I just need some time to get over someone right now.” Though you may think that this softens the blow, it actually will prolong her pain, and you should avoid making any declarations you don’t mean just because you think it’ll make the conversation easier. Make it clear that you don’t have romantic feelings for her and that you won’t have them at a future date, either. The sooner she knows this,...

TL;DR in English: Don’t tell other people before you tell her. Don’t tell her in public. Don’t lead her on. Don’t insult her when you reject her. Don’t make stupid excuses. Don’t drag it on.

It can be draining to listen to complaints. It can also make the conversation socially awkward. The next time a friend starts complaining, shift the focus.  Maybe your aunt complains about your uncle's busy work schedule. Try saying, "I understand you've been busy, too. Tell me all about your new book club!" When you redirect the conversation, you are demonstrating that you would like to talk about something else. Just make sure to change the subject to something more neutral. Avoid potentially negative topics. For example, if you have a friend who constantly complains about work, don't bring up the subject. Instead, talk about a book you both recently finished. Maybe your friends constantly use you as a sounding board. If people regularly complain to you, that means they see you as someone who can be trusted. But it can also be emotionally exhausting for you.  Let your friends know that you need to set some boundaries. Try saying, "Sara, I'm always here for you. But sometimes I'd like to talk about my own life when I'm with you." Maybe your friend has problems that make you uncomfortable. Don't be afraid to make that clear. For example, maybe your friend regularly complains about her disappointing sex life. Try saying, "Sheryl, would you mind if we change the subject? That kind of personal detail makes me uncomfortable." It is important to explain to your friends and family that it hurts you when they complain all of the time. You can use "I" statements to express your feelings and you can also ask the person who is complaining to rephrase his or her feelings using "I" statements.  An "I" statement focuses on the feelings or ideas of the person talking, rather than the person who is listening. Promoting "I" statements in your interactions with others may help you to feel less stressed by the complaints that you hear. When you live with someone who is constantly complaining, it can make you feel like he or she is blaming you for everything that is wrong in the house. Instead of stating, "I'm sick of hearing...

TL;DR in English: Change the subject. Set boundaries. Promote "I" statements. Deal with an elderly person who complains often. Cope with a complaining child. Spend time in groups.

Take first stitch in the row and slide it off of the left hand needle and onto the right hand needle. Do not knit the stitch. Just slide it from one needle to the other. Insert the right hand needle into the next stitch on the left hand needle as if you are going to knit the stitch. However, do not complete the stitch yet. Take your working yarn strand and wrap it around the needle that you just inserted through the stitch. Wrap the yarn around the needle in a clockwise fashion and then bring the strand to the front of your work. Use your thumb to anchor the loop at the length you want it to be. If you want a long loop, then position your thumb a few inches away from the needles. If you want a shorter loop, then position your thumb right next to the needles. After looping the yarn around your thumb, bring it back up and around the needle again, but wrap it in the opposite direction (clockwise) this time. Complete the first loop stitch by knitting 1 stitch. The loop will be secured by this stitch. Next, lift the first loop up and over the stitch you just knitted. Knit the next stitch as a normal stitch. It is important to knit 1 regular stitch after each loop stitch. After you finish 1 loopy stitch, start the sequence over again and continue to repeat it to the end of the row. The next row should just be knit stitches. This will ensure that your project is stable enough to support the loopy stitches. After a knit row, return to the loopy stitch row, and then the knit row again. Continue this sequence until you have completed your project.

TL;DR in English: Slip 1 stitch from the left needle to the right needle. Insert your needle into the next stitch. Wrap the yarn around the needle counter-clockwise 1 time. Loop the yarn around your thumb and then around the needle. Knit 1 stitch. Lift the first loop on the needle over the stitch you just knitted. Knit 1 stitch normally. Repeat the stitch sequence to the end of the row. Knit the next row. Alternate between loopy stitch rows and knit rows.

If you are farsighted enough that you have trouble seeing the mirror with your glasses on, find a makeup mirror with a magnified side to help you out. Many rotating makeup mirrors have two sides, one an ordinary mirror and one a "zoomed-in" lens. This will help hide dark circles and brighten up your eyes. Lightly dab it into the area under your eyes using a brush or your ring finger. Blend it downwards in a V shape. Go for a yellow-tinted concealer under the eyes. This will work against the bluish, grayish colors, and help hide them further. You can apply the foundation all over your face, or just on the trouble spots, such as your nose and cheeks. Be sure to blend in well. Focus on the areas beneath your eyes and in the T-zone (the nose, forehead, chin, and cheekbones). This will help set the makeup, and keep it from smudging throughout the day. Put extra powder on the bridge of your nose where your glasses rest, as sweat tends to gather here. If the extra powder doesn't do the trick, reduce the amount of makeup in that area to make smudging less obvious. Using a large, fluffy brush, dust on some bronzer across your nose and forehead, chin, and the tops of your cheeks. A light dust of blush is fine, but it's easy to go over the top when glasses already make your face stand out. If you do use blush, apply it on the apple of your cheeks. Blend it back towards the top of your ear, and down towards your jaw line.  If your glasses are made from wire or colored plastic, try a matte blush. If your glasses have a tortoise shell pattern, try a blush with a slight shimmer. Apply on top of your cheekbones instead for a more angled look. The general rule for makeup is that you either pair bold eyeshadow with neutral lips, or bold lipstick with neutral eyeshadow. Since glasses accentuate your eyes, the right choice is usually a clear gloss, nude lipstick, or another subtle shade. If your glasses have thin frames and you'd like to minimize the attention on your eyes, you can try a bolder lipstick, but this is more...

TL;DR in English: Work with a makeup mirror. Apply some concealer under your eyes with a brush. Apply liquid foundation using a foundation brush or sponge. Set your foundation and concealer with some powder. Consider using some bronzer for a sun-kissed look. Keep blush to a minimum. Choose your lipstick.

Measure down from the walls, towers, and keep. Make a separate line across each part. These lines will add more depth and detail to your castle.. These lines make the roof of the castle look more distinct. They also help outline the upper walkways, which you can add more detail to later. Draw it in the center of the keep. Make sure its edges are an equal distance from the towers to the left and right. Sketch an upside-down U-shape to create a basic door.  Change the height of the door depending on your design. You could make it big, about 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) the height of the keep, and it will still look good. A big door might make your castle look even harder to break into! If you’re drawing a castle from the side, the door may not be visible at all. Keep in mind the angle you have chosen for your drawing. People need some way to look out of the castle, so add a couple of windows along the front. Try drawing a pair of windows above the door, keeping them about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) from the top. Place a single window in the center of each tower section and then 3 more on the outer walls.  To draw simple windows, make them the same shape as the door. Draw a small, horizontal line, then draw an upside-down U-shape over it. The window positioning, size, and shape can vary a lot. It’s your design, so draw them how you want them! The simplest way to make the door stand out is with a series of lines consistently spaced out across its width. Try measuring about 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) from the edge of the door. Then, draw a straight line from top to bottom. Keep doing this until you have run out of room.  To ensure these lines are spaced out more evenly, measure the width of the door first. Take the measurement across the bottom or middle part of the door where it is widest. For additional decoration, you could draw a pair of thin wooden bars running across the door’s width. Try placing them 1⁄3 in (0.85 cm) of the way from the top and bottom edges. You could also draw an arch around the door to make it look like it has a wood...
