If you are not logged into Facebook, you will need to check the fabric you want to use to see what the width is before you calculate this measurement.  Check with a store associate if you are unsure. If you are planning to use some scrap fabric for the binding, then measure across the shortest part of the fabric

Amend the soil with compost or manure before you plant. Find a garden bed that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Space plants approximately three feet (90 cm) apart on all sides. Plant the valerian start in an area where it can grow tall. Place a wire mesh cage over the seedling to prevent birds from eating it. Water generously.

Though you will still be calculating displacement using a straight line, you will need to find the difference between an object's initial and final location when it moves in an arc.  Think of a girl sitting on a merry-go-round.  As she spins along the outside of the ride, she will travel in a curved path.  Angular displacement seeks to measure the shortest distance between the initial location and final location when an object isn't moving in a straight line. The formula for angular displacement is: θ = S/r, where "S" stands for linear displacement, "r" stands for radius, and "θ" represents angular displacement.  Linear displacement is how far an object travels along an arc.  Radius is the distance an object is from the center of a circle.  Angular displacement is the value we are looking for. Remember that radius is the distance from the center of a circle; some problems may give you the circle's diameter, in which case you will need to divide it by 2 to find the radius.  Here is a sample problem: A girl rides a merry-go-round.  Her seat is at a distance of 1 meter from the center (radius).  If the girl moves along an arc length of 1.5 meters (linear displacement), what is her angular displacement? Your equation should look like this: θ = 1.5/1. This will give you the angular displacement of the object.  After dividing 1.5 by 1, you are left with 1.5.  The angular displacement of the girl is 1.5 radians.  Since angular displacement calculates how much an object has rotated from its original position, it will need to be measured as an angle, not a distance.  Radians are units used to measure angles.

TL;DR in English: Find angular displacement when an object travels in a curved path. Input the linear displacement and radius values into the equation. Divide linear displacement by the radius.

Hue refers to the purity of an emerald's color, and it is one of three points to consider regarding color quality. Most emeralds have a blue-green tint, while others may have a yellow-green tint.  The most valuable have strong color, and are as pure green as possible without becoming dark. Tonal color refers to the lightness or darkness of an emerald. Natural emeralds range from very light to very dark, and the most valuable emeralds generally fall on the darker end of the scale. High quality emeralds generally have a tonal color that falls between medium green to strong green while not being oversaturated. Saturation refers to the strength of an emerald's color, and it is, perhaps, the most important aspect of color quality. A richer saturation means more brilliance, which means that the emerald reflects light better. Weak saturation will cause an emerald to look dull and flat. No one shape is inherently more valuable than another, but some cuts may reflect light more easily. The rectangular "emerald" cut is, unsurprisingly, the most common for emeralds. Round, oval, pear, teardrop, and cabochon cuts are also fairly common. In addition to maintaining a high degree of brilliance, emerald cuts allow gem cutters to yield the most saleable product from the rough crystal. Emeralds are a Type III gemstone, as rated by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). This means that nearly all emeralds will have some inclusions, due to the softness of the stone.  Opt for emeralds that have non-threatening surface reaching fissures(ones that do not penetrate too deeply or loop around the stone). Do this to ensure there will be no risk of future breakage. Also it will guarantee the maximum brilliance of your stone through normal clarity enhancement regardless of type. After all it is universally expected that your stone will be clarity enhanced. The GIA rates emeralds from VVS to I3.  VVS (Very, Very Slightly Included) emeralds have inclusions that are identifiable under magnification but not to the naked eye. VS (Very...

TL;DR in English: Consider the emerald's hue. Look for a deep tonal color. Pick out an emerald with strong saturation. Consider the cut. Expect inclusions. Look at the inclusion ranking from the GIA. Ask about the oiling process or other clarity enhancements. Decide on an appropriate carat weight. Find out where an emerald comes from before you buy it. Know the peculiarities of emeralds from popular mines.

Most fabrics come in 45 inches (110 cm) or 60 inches (150 cm) widths. You may need to check the fabric you want to use to see what the width is before you calculate this measurement.  Check with a store associate if you are unsure. If you are planning to use some scrap fabric for the binding, then measure across the shortest part of the fabric piece to find the width. Use the perimeter measurement plus the 10 inches (25 cm) you added and divide this number by the total width of your binding fabric. For example, if the perimeter plus 10 inches (25 cm) equals 190 inches (480 cm) and the fabric width is 60 inches (150 cm), then your result would be 3.2. This will tell you how many strips you need to cut from the fabric to get the required amount. However, you will need to round up your result if you do not get a whole number. For example, if your answer is 3.2, then round up to 4.

TL;DR in English: Identify the fabric width. Divide the perimeter plus 10 inches (25 cm) by the fabric width. Round up the result.

Valerian doesn’t generally require a lot of fertilization unless the soil is poor. The soil should be between 5.5 and 7.0 in pH. The plants do well with some afternoon shade. They are large plants, so they need plenty of room to grow roots. If your valerian plants don’t tend to grow to a full four feet (1.2 m) tall, you may be able to plant them closer together. It can send out runners, so it may be best when offset from a vegetable or flower garden. Harvesting the blooms can keep it from being too invasive. Valerian leaves and roots are known for a strong, musty odor. The flowers can smell of vanilla, but are too strong for some gardeners. Keep this in mind before planting near a patio.  Valerian likes well-drained soil and plenty of water. Soak it every few days when you are not receiving regular rain.

Knowing the cause of your blocked fallopian tubes may help your doctor formulate an effective treatment plan. Sexually transmitted infections are some of the most common causes of blockages. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other STIs can lead to the development of scar tissue that blocks the fallopian tubes and prevents pregnancy. This can be a problem even if your STIs were treated and resolved. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can result from sexually transmitted infections and lead to blockages. If you have PID (or a history of PID), you have an increased risk of developing blocked fallopian tubes and infertility. In women with endometriosis, uterine tissue grows outside its normal location, implanting on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other organs. If you have endometriosis, know that it can lead to blocked fallopian tubes. If you ever had a uterine infection, perhaps in connection with a miscarriage or abortion, it’s possible that scar tissue formed and blocked one or both fallopian tubes. Although uncommon in the United States, pelvic tuberculosis may also cause blocked fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancies are those in which the fertilized egg implants in the wrong place, usually in the fallopian tube. These pregnancies cannot grow to term, and when they burst or are removed, they can cause scarring and blockages. If you have ever had abdominal surgery, your risk of developing blocked fallopian tubes is higher. Surgeries on the fallopian tubes themselves are especially risky.

TL;DR in English: Understand that sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can lead to blocked fallopian tubes. Know the role of pelvic inflammatory disease in causing blocked fallopian tubes. Be aware of the potential risks associated with endometriosis. Recognize the role of uterine infections. Factor in past ectopic pregnancies. Consider past surgeries.

Like a REIT, a real estate investment group (REIG) pools the money of two or more people to purchase, develop, manage and sell properties. In many cases, the properties bought are apartments or a similar property type, and investors own one or multiple units within the building. Typically, this will involve a much larger initial investment than simply buying into a REIT, but a smaller one than buying a property yourself. It also lacks many of the inherent risks of property trading because the risk is shared among many investors.   Because these groups are generally much smaller than real estate investment trusts, members can aid in managing properties and gather tips and advice from other seasoned investors. This allows for more personal interaction with your investment. This involvement is not consistent throughout all REIGs. In some cases, the company that manages the REIG will do all of the advertising, management, and maintenance for investors. This allows investors to make money without any additional effort. REIGs function much like mutual funds because they do not have to be self-managed, and also have the fees that go with them. Be sure to investigate any potential REIG investment before committing your money to determine that their fee structure is fair. Also, look for indications of past success (or failure) that might allow you to determine whether or not the REIG is a safe investment.  Attend a model club meeting. BetterInvesting, an organization that provides investment education, holds free model REIG meetings in cities across the United States. These meetings explain what REIGs specifically do, inform you about local REIGs, and allow you to network with other like-minded locals. Go to www.betterinvesting.org and search for local chapters near you to find a model meeting.

Stress releases the hormone cortisol, which encourages your body to store fat. Try meditation, yoga or changing your schedule to reduce your stress. The place that you store fat, may depend upon genetics; however, studies have shown a correlation between stomach fat and stress. People who don't get at least 7 hours of sleep per night are more likely to store fat in their stomach, hips and thighs. Give yourself 1 hour to decompress before you want to start sleeping. Love handles may have appeared slowly, over the course of a decade or more. This slow weight gain can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle, so try the following things to get moving:  Buy a pedometer. Make sure you are walking 10,000 steps during the course of your daily routine.  Stand up while you talk on the phone, watch television or on the bus. You may think that sitting is unavoidable, but standing for just a few minutes can help with lower body weight loss. Add in a 30 minute walk every day, in addition to exercise. This walk can be done on your lunch break, in the morning or after dinner. Any added exercise will start to give you skinnier hips.

TL;DR in English: Focus on lowering your stress levels. Get more sleep. Be more active.

Flour mites have off-white bodies and are so small they are nearly invisible to the naked eye. Because of this, it is very difficult to detect mites until you have a full-blown infestation. The mites have brownish legs, and the collection of living and dead mites and their waste will appear as a brown coating or tinge. It may look a bit like sand. When flour mites are crushed they give off a distinct minty odor. The food may also develop a sickly sweet smell or taste, even before you detect the mites. Make the flour as smooth and level as you can before walking away. If the flour is infested with mites, the surface will be uneven due to the movement of the mites. The mites will stick to the tape and you may be able to see them with a magnifying glass. Also check the glue on box tops, the edges of sealed flour canisters. They might not be able to get inside, but they may be on the lip and get in once you open the container. Though flour mites don't bite, some people may have an allergic reaction to the allergens on the mites or their waste products. This is also known as "grocer's itch."

TL;DR in English: Look for brown "mite dust" on the surface of your food. Rub the mite dust or some questionable flour between your fingers and check for a minty smell. Spread some flour on a flat surface and inspect it after 15 minutes. Stick a piece of scotch tape on packages or on the pantry shelves and inspect for mites. Notice if you are inexplicably itchy after handling flour or other grains.

This is a simple step to looking professional.  Clothes which are too big can be baggy and look sloppy.  Clothes which are too tight will be uncomfortable and could be considered risqué. You want your clothes to look and smell fresh.  Be sure that you keep them clean and tidy by washing them as often as possible.  If you don’t have a lot of time to wash your clothes, consider using a drop-off service or a dry cleaner. You will likely only have one apron assigned to you.  It is important to wash this along with your clothes, but you will also want to keep it clean between washes.  Resist the urge to wipe your hands on your apron.  Wash your hands or carry a towel to wipe them on if you need to. If your apron gets dirty between washed, dab the stains with a damp towel.  Try using soda water to scrub stains out. Tucking your shirt gives you a more professional look.  Beyond that, it is important to keep your shirt secured so that it doesn’t accidentally get on the table or in someone’s meal.

Your girlfriend may have several options for handling a pregnancy. Before making a decision about what to do, make sure that she has good information about them.  Your girlfriend may want to have the baby and parent it. This may or may not mean marriage or a long-term relationship. The two of you should discuss your long-term relationship plans in addition to the pregnancy. Your girlfriend may want to have the baby and offer it for adoption. Your girlfriend may also decide to terminate the pregnancy (have an abortion). Laws regulating when and how a woman may elect an abortion vary by state. In some states, for example, a minor can make an abortion decision on her own, while parental consent must be provided in other states. Emergency contraception (“the morning after pill”) will not work if your girlfriend is already pregnant. These medications will decrease the likelihood of pregnancy only if taken within 5 days (depending on the specific medication) after unprotected sex. Deciding how to handle a pregnancy, or share the news of it, can be very stressful. Give your girlfriend time to think, and don’t force her to make a rushed decision. In the meantime, help her out with whatever she needs: sleep, food, relaxation, chores, etc. Maybe your girlfriend knows exactly what she wants to do about the pregnancy. On the other hand, she might be confused, unsure, or just not ready to make a decision. If she’s not sure, the two of you can start talking about your options and how to handle things.  Common options for handling a pregnancy including having the baby and parenting it (as a single parent or a couple), offering it for adoption, or terminating it (having an abortion). Each of these options brings unique concerns, so your girlfriend shouldn’t rush to make a decision without getting information and thinking things through. The decision is ultimately up to your girlfriend, so you should support her without being demanding. Don’t push your girlfriend one way or another. Avoid making statements like “You need to…”...

TL;DR in English: Learn about your options. Be patient. Talk about it. Help your girlfriend tell others. Ask for help. Get the information you need to make an informed decision. Talk it out or compromise if you don’t agree.

Since you are working with two different variables (inputs), you cannot add the formulas and plug in one input, you have to complete one function at a time. For example, if you are given f(x)=3x+2{\displaystyle f(x)=3x+2} and g(x)=4−5x{\displaystyle g(x)=4-5x}, and are asked to find f(2)+g(3){\displaystyle f(2)+g(3)}, you would start by finding f(2){\displaystyle f(2)}. When you plug in the 2, you get:f(2)=3(2)+2{\displaystyle f(2)=3(2)+2}f(2)=6+2{\displaystyle f(2)=6+2}f(2)=8{\displaystyle f(2)=8}. Make sure you are plugging in the correct variable to the correct function. For example, if g(x)=4−5x{\displaystyle g(x)=4-5x}, then: g(3)=4−5(3){\displaystyle g(3)=4-5(3)}g(3)=4−15{\displaystyle g(3)=4-15}g(3)=−11{\displaystyle g(3)=-11} The result will be the sum or difference of the two functions, given the provided variables. For example, if f(2)=8{\displaystyle f(2)=8} and g(3)=−11{\displaystyle g(3)=-11}, then: f(2)+g(3)=8+(−11){\displaystyle f(2)+g(3)=8+(-11)}f(2)+g(3)=−3{\displaystyle f(2)+g(3)=-3}.

TL;DR in English: Plug the appropriate variable into the first function and solve. Plug the appropriate variable into the second function and solve. Add or subtract the two outputs.

Most people at the festival will have a themed outfit and makeup. Plan your outfits ahead of time so you know what to wear, and apply face makeup and body glitter to take your look to the next level. At these events, most people go all out with their looks, so don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone!  For example, at Coachella festival, people tend to dress more in hippie-style clothing. If you want to dress up, you might wear a long, flowing dress if you like the feminine style. For a more masculine look, stick to light-colored pants or shorts and a plain t-shirt to stay cool. Depending on the location and weather, you might want to bring a bandana to tie around your face to protect you from dirt or sand that gets kicked up from people walking around. Most festivals have a schedule of events with the times and locations included for each performance. Pick 1-3 shows that you want to see each day, and mark where they are on the map of the grounds so you can plan your route between shows.  If you know that a band you want to see is on early in the day, leave plenty of time to get to the site and find the right stage, as the lines can be extremely long to enter the venue. Keep in mind that in larger venues, it can take 30-45 minutes to walk from one stage to another. If you’re going with a group of friends, you’ll likely all have different interests. Try not to be upset or hurt if you can’t do something that you want to do. Before you arrive at the venue, decide which events are “musts” and which are “maybes” for you, and be ready to compromise. With large festivals, it’s almost impossible to do and see everything in the few days you’re there. Stick to 1-3 music shows per day and try to fit in 1-2 other activities, like visiting the vendor tents or getting a snack from a food truck. If your favorite band or singer is going to be at the festival, go to the stage where they’re playing as early as possible to get to the front of the “pit” section, which is the standing area at the front of the stage....

TL;DR in English: Find pictures of the festival online and try to match festival goers ' outfits. Look at the schedule and map online to find events you’re interested in. Be ready to change some of your plans at the last minute. Arrive early to be at the front of the crowd for your favorite performances. Carry cash to purchase food, drinks, and merchandise. Take pictures and record videos throughout the festival.

Lamination pouches come in a variety of sizes. When choosing a size, make sure it's small enough to fit in your machine. That means that the folded side of the pouch needs to be smaller than the area you feed the pouch into. However, ensure your paper can fit completely inside the pouch. If your project is small, try using a smaller sheet so you don't waste part of the pouch. Pouches range in thickness from 3 millimeters to 14 millimeters. The thicker pouches provide more protection. However, always check the directions for your machine, as many machines cannot handle very thick pouches. Most machines will handle pouches in the 3-5 millimeter thickness. If you want to cut out the white around an object on the paper, it's best to do it before you laminate it. Cut carefully around the edges until you're happy with how it looks. A laminating pouch is 2 sheets held together by 1 folded edge. Open the pouch up and place the edge of the paper up against the inside of the folded edge. On the other edges, make sure to leave a little space between the edge of the paper and the edge of the pouch for the laminator to seal the edges. Close the pouch. Don't cut the pouch before inserting it in the machine, as that can cause jams. If you have multiple pieces, carefully space them out inside the pouch, leaving a bit of room between them. You will need to be able to cut between them and still have a bit of laminated edge around each piece. Some laminators warn against using multiple pieces in 1 pouch, so read your instruction booklet to find out more about your machine before attempting this.

TL;DR in English: Choose a pouch small enough to fit in the laminator. Select a thicker pouch for added durability. Trim the paper to the shape you want it. Lay the paper in the laminating pouch. Space multiple small pieces out in a pouch, if necessary.

While basic vitamin C serum will last for up to two weeks, you should make a fresh batch of the moisturizing vitamin C serum every three days. If you want the serum to last longer, then you can store your vitamin C serum in the refrigerator for up to a week. Even though the serum will be somewhat protected from light in a dark glass bottle, you can also wrap the bottle in tin foil to make sure that no light can get to the serum at all. Before using the serum for the first time, you may want to test it on a small patch of your skin to make sure that it is not too acidic. Place a small amount on the inside of your wrist and wait a few hours to see if you have any reaction to it.  Do not use the serum if you notice any redness or a rash after using it. If you notice any burning or tingling, then you may want to add a little more water to the serum to reduce the acidity. Use your vitamin C serum twice daily after washing your face and moisturizing. If you used oil to make your serum, then the serum can take the place of your normal moisturizer. If you notice any tingling, burning, redness, or other reaction to the serum, wash it off right away and do not use it again.

TL;DR in English: Store your vitamin C serum. Test the serum on a small patch of your skin. Use the serum on your skin twice daily.

Scientists think that the way we respond to tickling has something to do with surprise and that we can control our response if we expect it. Think about it. Can you tickle yourself? Not very well because your body knows what is coming. The key to getting a good response may be surprise.  One good idea is to very lightly walk your fingers up and down your victim's sides. Or, you might try casually approaching the target. Put your arm around his shoulder or pull him into a hug. Then...tickle! Keep it up for a minute or so until you tire or he retaliates. As a slight alternative, go for a hug from behind and tickle his waist while you do so. Another strategy is the ambush attack. In this form, you will rely on complete and utter surprise. Wait for your target to round a corner, for example, and, when he appears, pounce! Make sure to use your momentary advantage to hit fast and hard, targeting the most vulnerable areas. Usually, one of the best and most accessible tickle spots will be his flanks around the rib cage. Go to town there. The armpits will also be exposed in a surprise strike. If your target is susceptible there, alternate between his underarms and flanks. If all goes well, your target should soon be laughing, tearing up, and rolling into a giddy ball on the ground. His defenses are down. You can now exploit his vulnerability and find other weak points.  Try the backs of the knees. This may only work in warm weather, if he is wearing shorts. The soles of the feet are often an excellent tickle spot and may not be exposed during normal activity. On the ground, though, you can definitely target them. Rely on your knowledge of the target. Recall his tickle spots and try to alternate from point to point rapidly. Moving in this manner will prevent him from mounting a defense. Consider tools that can help you reduce your quarry to a laughing ball of mirth. Different levels of softness or different textures should heighten the effect of the tickling.  A simple feather or a feather duster is one excellent...

TL;DR in English: Use the art of surprise. Target the sides. Target other known tickle spots. Use a brush, feather, or other device.

Stand so that your left side faces the target. You'll want to straddle the shooting "line", an imaginary line from you to your target. So, if you shoot right-handed, have your right foot (back foot) slightly in front of this line. Your toes should face forward in a way that feels comfortable; they don't have to point at the target. If you're left-handed, your right foot will lead, and you'll face your right side at the target. You want the grip in the center of your palm, evenly distributing the weight across your whole arm. Don't rely on wrist strength (bow too far back) or finger strength (too far forwards) to hold onto the bow. Keep your grip calm and loose, not choking the bow to death. Gripping too tightly causes the bow to torque (twist when fired). Pull the back of the arrow into the string until it clicks into place along the nocking point. The string will have a small area with an extra string looping on it, forming a small semi-circle (called the "D-loop). The arrow is locked into the straight part, and you use the curved line to pull the string back. If you prefer to pull and release the string with your fingers, skip this step. However, most compound hunters used the mechanical release. Attach the release to your wrist as instructed, then simply snap the jaws of the release around the D-loop. Keep your index finger behind the trigger to prevent it from releasing accidentally. Strong posture is key to accurate shooting. So is staying still. Once you've planted your feet, found your target, and notched the boy, keep yourself in this angle and keep your eyes on the target -- the less you move, the less likely the arrow is to move off-target. The line of vertical dots on the sight seem intimidating at first, but they are there to help you determine shooting distance. The top dot is where you aim if the target is 20 yards away. This is true for every single compound bow. The rest of the dots are for other distances -- commonly 30, 40, and 50 yards -- but different bows will have different distances on...

TL;DR in English: Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, at a right angle to your target. Grip the bow so the weight balances in the space between your thumb and fingers. Notch an arrow into the rest, then snap it into the notch. Attach your mechanical release to the bowstring where the arrow attaches. Keep your eyes on the target and your chin parallel to the ground. Understand your aiming sight helps you determine arrow distance.

A breastfeeding pillow is a somewhat long-term investment. If you enjoy using it, and it works well for you and your baby, you will be using the pillow until you're finished breastfeeding. Keep this in mind when selecting your pillow.  Some mothers only breastfeed for 3 or 4 months. In this case, you may not need to worry about the length and size of the pillow. A baby in that age range should fit on most breastfeeding pillows without much trouble.  Some women choose to breastfeed longer. If you intend to breastfeed your child for a couple of years rather than a couple of months, go with a larger sized pillow that can support a bigger child. However, as a baby gets older he'll be able to hold his head up and control motor functions more easily. A pillow might not be necessary for support as you get past a year old. Your baby is not the only factor when selecting a breastfeeding pillow. You also need to keep in mind your own size and shape to make sure the breastfeeding pillow fits your body.  Many breastfeeding pillows are designed to strap around your torso so the pillow can support the baby's head and neck when you breastfeed. Try to select a pillow that will fit your midsection shortly after birth. It's helpful to imagine yourself 5 to 6 months pregnant, as this is a good gauge of the size you'll need.  Breastfeeding pillows come in different shapes: "c" shape, "o" shape, and the crescent shape. The "c" shape tends to be the most universal shape and generally fits the most body types while providing adequate arm support.  O-shaped pillows wrap around the entire body, which can be good if your need extra support after pregnancy due to complications or a c-section.  Crescent shapes are designed to wrap around the side of your body. They might not work as well for smaller women as the sides might fall on the back of the chair, sofa, or wherever you're sitting. Some crescent shaped pillows, however, are adjustable and can be maneuvered to fit multiple sizes. Fastening straps are a popular addition to...

If you haven't started crying yet but think you might, try distracting yourself from your sad thoughts. Play a game on your phone or try to joke around with a friend, or try engaging deeply in your math book or listening carefully and fully to what your teacher is saying. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your feelings and like you are about to cry, try creating some distance between yourself and your thoughts. To gain distance, try imagining yourself as an outsider viewing the situation that is making you sad. You can also try referring to yourself in the third person when you think about your situation. If you are sad about something that is not relevant to the present moment (e.g., something that happened in the past or will happen in the future), try focusing on only the present. To be mindful, pay full attention to your bodily sensations, all the information coming in through your senses, and your thoughts about those perceptions and sensations. You may be able to improve your mood by smiling, even if you don't feel like it. This is called the facial feedback hypothesis and it suggests that the relationship between emotions and the face is a two way street: though we typically smile when we feel happy, some evidence suggests that smiling may cause us to feel happier or otherwise help us to be less sad. If you have a pencil handy, try putting it in your mouth and biting it with your teeth. This will raise your cheeks and facilitate your smile. Try to change your mood by thinking about something really funny or something that makes you really happy. You can also try thinking about what is making you sad in a different way.   For example, you could try thinking about something hilarious you saw on the internet or something nice that your significant other did for you. To think differently about what is making you sad, consider this example. Say you are sad because you received a bad grade on an exam, and that you are upset because you think it means you are not smart. Try instead thinking about your bad...

TL;DR in English: Distract yourself. Create distance. Be mindful. Smile. Change your thoughts. Get social support.

When you are first diagnosed with typhoid fever, your doctor will figure out how far along the disease has progressed. If the disease is diagnosed in its early stages, the common treatment is with antibiotics. He will prescribe your antibiotics, which you will take for one to two weeks. Some strains of the bacteria that cause typhoid fever have become very resistant to some antibiotics. This means that your doctor will do thorough laboratory tests to come up with the best treatment plan for the particular strain you have.  The type of antibiotic you are prescribed will vary depending on where you contracted the strain and if you have had it before. The most common antibiotics prescribed include Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin, Amoxicillin or azithromycin. You may also be prescribed Cefotaxime or Ceftriaxone. These medications are typically prescribes for 10 to 14 days. While symptoms may clear up within a matter of days, it is of the utmost importance that you finish your antibiotic treatment. If you do not take your antibiotics for the prescribed amount of time, you run a serious risk of having the disease return or passing it to others. Once you have finished your antibiotics, see your doctor again for a follow-up test to make sure that you have gotten rid of the infection. In severe cases, you will need immediate hospital admission. The aggressive symptoms you should look for that point to a severe case of typhoid fever are a swollen stomach, severe diarrhea, a fever of 104 degrees or higher, or persistent vomiting. When in the hospital, you will likely be given the same or similar antibiotic treatment, but it will be administered in injectable form while you are in the hospital.  You should see a doctor immediately if you experience any of these intense symptoms. Fluids and nutrients will also be administered to you through an intravenous drip. Most people greatly improve 3-5 days after being admitted to the hospital. However, you may have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks to recover if your case of...

TL;DR in English: Take antibiotics. Take your medications for the prescribed length of time. Get treated in the hospital. Have surgery if necessary.

Remind all employees of the rules and enforce whatever your policy dictates for disciplinary action. As a rule of thumb, give one or two reminders before writing him up. Be consistent in your enforcement. If you look the other way sometimes but not others, or show favoritism toward some employees, you will create a chaotic environment where employees feel resentful and take advantage of your inconsistency. With a plan of action for improving the employee's attendance, you will need to make sure he is following through. Regularly check the employee's attendance records each month. While the employee may adjust his behaviour initially, he may fall back into old habits if he feels he can get away with it. If the employee is able to improve his performance, be sure to take time to give him praise. This way, he knows that you are paying attention, and that you haven't failed to notice his efforts. On the other hand, if your employee fails to improve his attendance, consider taking disciplinary action. This might mean providing a written warning, it may mean suspending the employee without pay for a period of time, or it may mean termination of the employee.  Deciding on the right kind of disciplinary action should be done by considering the history of the employee, the reasons for his absence, as well as your company's policy.

TL;DR in English: Enforce attendance rules. Keep an eye on attendance. Praise your employee. Consider disciplinary action.

Chances are your parents will check on you during your day home to either make sure you’re not faking, or to see if you’re feeling better.  If your parents are at home with you, then just pretend to sleep and be sure to act accordingly when they check in on you. If your parents are at work, call to check-in with them. This will make you seem responsible, and not seem like you're having fun. If they call to check on you from work, wait for the phone to ring three or three and a half times before you answer, and sound as tired as you can. If you do stay home, pretend to sleep a lot and gradually start "getting better".  Around mid-day, remove one or two of your symptoms. If you don't show any signs of improvement towards the end of the day, your parents might want to take you to the doctor, who will see that there's no illness to be found. If you think your parents will take you to the doctor, try to phase out the sickness or just admit it. You're supposed to be home sick in bed, remember?!  Don't leave or get caught outside of the house. If a neighbour or friend of your parents sees you, they might tell. Be sure to put away any games before your parents come home. If they see you've been having fun, they'll suspect that you were faking the whole time. Clear out your internet history so that they won't know you were playing on the internet during the day. Don't forget to especially clear this search from your history. Do not save bookmarks or download items on your computer; parents will notice that you did these things during your “sick day.” Delete this page from your browser history, so your parents won't see it and question you.

TL;DR in English:


Have confidence. Dress in a flattering fashion. Make eye contact. Use body language. Flirt. Be upfront.

The further away from the fingers it is, the more sympathetic and understanding the person will be. If the heart line hugs close to the fingers, the person will be unfeeling, unsympathetic and critical.

TL;DR in English: Determine this by how far down the palm the heart line is.

Urinary catheters are inserted temporarily following many surgical procedures. Once you have recovered from the surgery, or the obstruction has been removed, you don’t need the catheter anymore.  For example, if you have prostate surgery, you will generally receive a catheter that can be taken out 10 to 14 days after surgery. Follow your medical provider's post-surgical guidelines and recommendations. These will be individualized to your health care situation. Your catheter will only need to be replaced if you cannot independently empty your bladder. People who get a catheter because they have a chronic illness or incontinence (a condition where you have a problem holding urine inside) that has been caused by an injury may need to have a catheter for a long period of time. For example, if you suffered a spinal cord injury that has caused you to develop incontinence, you will need to have a catheter in place for a long period of time. Replace your catheter with a fresh one every 14 days or as directed by manufacturer or physician recommendations. Some people experience complications when they get a catheter. One of the most common negative side effects is developing a urinary tract infection. If you see any pus near your urethra, or have cloudy, bloody, or foul-smelling urine, you may have a urinary tract infection. Your catheter will have to be removed and you should talk to your doctor about treating your tract infection.  You may also notice a large amount of urine coming out from around the catheter. If you do notice this, remove the catheter. It is most likely defective. If there is no urine draining into the catheter, there may be an obstruction in the device. If this is the case, it needs to be removed immediately and you should go to the doctor right away. Do not irrigate your catheter without first consulting a healthcare professional.

TL;DR in English: Remove a catheter permanently after its use has come to an end. Change your catheter regularly if you need your catheter for a long period of time. Remove your catheter if you start having unwanted side effects.

Men are attracted to confidence. In fact, many men find confidence more attractive than pure physical beauty. Try to be a bit more assertive about your interests, goals, and ideas. This will prove attractive to most men.  It's important that you feel confident and attractive when trying to gain the interest of a man. In other words, do not try to be something you're not. Be yourself and be upfront about your interests and passions. This goes for online dating as well. While a cute profile picture might get a man to click on your profile, he won't end up messaging you if you have generic information included in your "About Me" section. Let your personality show in your online dating presence as well. When first meeting someone, most people assess them visually. If you're trying to seduce a man, make sure you dress in a flattering fashion to get his attention.  Remember, confidence is key. If you don't feel sexy, you won't appear that way to a man. If you're more comfortable in jeans and tees than dresses, try picking a flattering, sexy casual outfit rather than forcing yourself into an evening gown. If you're unsure how to dress in a flattering way, try asking a stylist at a department store to help you pick outfits that work for your figure or frame. When trying to get a man's interest, eye contact is important. Men often gauge sexual or romantic interest based on a woman's eyes and facial expression. Some studies propose this is because women are less likely to show interest with their bodies. Maintaining eye contact for the night can show a man you're interested. Do not be afraid to use your body to flirt. This can help a man see you are interested in him sexually.  Sit up straight and do not lower your chin. This makes you look confident about your body. Do not be afraid to use gentle, light touches. Touch his arm or shoulder. Place your hand on his knee. Tug at his hair. You should always find ways to flirt when first meeting a man. A little flirtation can go a long way in getting him interested and...

Create a system for keeping track of each character’s profile. Start building a character profile, even if you don’t know all the details. Consider the kind of story you’re writing to guide your characters. Spend some time world-building before you begin to write.

Just anyone. Even if it's "What homework do we have in algebra?" It's an excuse to talk to people. Make them laugh, but don't try to be funny. Talk about things you can relate to, be really friendly and always smile, be tight with people; just don't be too open with your secrets, personal things are called personal for a reason and you could really damage your reputation if you let people gossip behind your back. Just know who your real friends are. Ask the cool girl you sit next to in science if she wants to go bowling this weekend and frequently throw sleepovers. If you invite people to do things, they will have to invite you to do things. Sure, this worked in Mean Girls, so why wouldn't it work in real life? This is because things like this only happen in movies, not real life. Think: would YOU like to be known as the girl that is rude to everybody? Neither would we.

Parents can install apps that help prevent teens from texting and driving. These apps can alert you to when your teen uses their phones while driving, and also when the teen turns off the app. Talk to your teen about using these apps on their phone and their purpose. You want to help them learn safe driving habits, not make them think you are spying on them.  Cellcontrol is a paid subscription service that provides a device that goes in the car which hooks to the app. The app blocks the phone from receiving or sending texts while the car is moving. It also blocks other features, like the camera. Drive Safe Mode is another app for parents that helps prevent the driver from sending and receiving texts. If you see someone who constantly texts and drives, consider having a conversation with them. You may want to ask them if they are aware of the dangers of texting and driving, or just tell them you feel uncomfortable when they do that while you ride in the car with them.  For example, if you have a teen driver, have a family discussion about the dangers of texting and driving. Discuss possible alternatives to help keep your teen off their phone. If you are in the car with someone who is driving, ask them not to text while you are a passenger. Say, "I am very uncomfortable with texting and driving because it is so dangerous. Will you please not text while you are driving me around?" If someone is trying to check their phone while driving, offer to read the text and respond for them. This keeps their eyes on the road, and they still get to send a text they feel is really important. Try saying, "I am happy to text them back so you can concentrate on driving. Just tell me what to say." Setting texting and driving rules in your family can help everyone, teen and adult drivers alike. Make it a rule that no one can text while driving, even the adults. This sets a good example for teen drivers and keeps everyone safe.  Set consequences for texting and driving. For example, your teen may lose driving privileges if they...

TL;DR in English: Place an app on your teen's phone. Talk to the person. Offer to text for the person. Set rules.

To engage in Emotional Clearing requires you to know what emotional experience or episode it is that you are trying to clear. A trigger is anything that elicits a negative emotional response.  Reflect on things that have aroused negative emotion in you lately. Was it a fight with a loved one? Being stuck in traffic? These are examples of triggers. Try to keep in mind triggers that you may not think of normally. For example, maybe it is really hot outside and that is actually making you angry, or maybe you stubbed your toe and the pain made you angry but you attributed it to something else, like your partner. Stop resisting negative feelings in your body and instead bring awareness to all aspects of your body and allow it to inform you about how you think and feel about things out in the world and in your mind. To embrace your body's negative sensations, do not try to avoid or distract yourself from feeling negative. Instead accept that you will at times feel negative emotions by realizing they are normal and think about how they make your body feel. Take deep breaths in and out to calm yourself and to put yourself into a state of deep relaxation. Instead, bring awareness to them and allow them. We avoid actually feeling our emotions by projecting them and repressing them. This must stop to actually clear them. Instead of trying to shut out your negative thoughts, observe them and question them.  As you are observing and questioning your thoughts and feelings, take responsibility for them by telling yourself that they are your own and yours alone.   Question your emotions by asking why you think you are experiencing them, ask yourself whether you are sure the cause is what you think it is. For example, maybe you are angry because of something your partner said to you, or maybe it is really hot outside and you are annoyed, or maybe some combination of both. As you embrace the sensations, feelings, and thoughts and beliefs that you have, follow them to their origins in your childhood. Think about how you the way...

TL;DR in English: Identify your triggers. Embrace your body's negative sensations. Relax. Stop resisting your emotions. Embrace negative thoughts. Follow your sensations to their roots. Witness your sensations at their roots.

Don't rely on bird seed, which is too fatty and does not require your bird to use her beak. Buy a premium pelleted food, and feed your bird lots of fresh vegetables (such as broccoli, cabbage, garlic, collards, asparagus) and occasional fresh fruit. Feed your bird a few almonds each day to encourage chewing.  Learn if your bird is a florivore, omnivore, granivore, frugivore, or nectarivore.  Though diet will depend on breed, pelleted food should typically be 65-80% of the diet. Vegetables should make up 15-30%, and the remainder can be seeds and fruits.  If your bird is accustomed to seeds, try sprouting the seeds to help your bird transition to vegetables. The fat content will lower, and the texture will be more vegetable-like.  Birds that have had too much fat in their diets are at risk for developing liver disease, which can cause beak overgrowth. These birds need vegetables, as well as citrus peel, egg yolks, unprocessed grains, and turmeric to detoxify. Buy chew toys for your bird. You can buy build-your-own toys that let you string rope with mineral pieces, wooden blocks, plastic beads, and pieces of real coconut. Put several in the cage at once, and rotate them out so that your bird doesn't get bored. If you notice she chews some more than others, buy more of those.  Buy a lava rock. You can hang a lava rock in your bird's cage, or attach it to the side. These are great for your bird to wear her beak naturally. Hide food in a chew toy. Buy a shreddable toy that you can hide treats in. Your parrot will trim her beak shredding up the toy. Check rope toys frequently for fraying. Remove frayed rope, as this can tangle around your bird's toes. Your bird will wear her own nails and beak into good condition if she has a cement, pumice, or mineral perch to sit on. After she eats, she will wipe her beak on the perch, thus sharpening and trimming it. Buy a perch that is designed specifically for your kind of bird. For instance, find a perch that will transmit essential minerals from your bird's part of the...

TL;DR in English: Feed your bird well. Buy your bird chew toys. Install a special perch.

A character profile is a place where you keep important details and dates for every character in your story, from what their allergies are to the date that one really important thing happened. Do this for every character, no matter how small their role. There are a lot of ways you can organize this information:  Keep a file folder with notes for each character. Have a notebook where you keep the character details. Use a word document on your computer. Utilize the “notes” function on your smart phone. Write details on sticky notes and have a wall dedicated to character development where you can display them. Sometimes details about characters don’t make themselves apparent until you’re in the midst of writing. But—whatever details you can decide on up front, write them down. Things to include:  Their name, age, occupation, special skills, education, family details, height, weight, eye and hair colors, mannerisms, habits, and important dates. There are so many details you can include, and a lot of them may never make it into your story. But the fact that you know them helps you write a more well-rounded and believable character. Visit https://www.writerswrite.com/journal/jun98/how-to-create-a-character-profile-6986 for a more comprehensive list of things you can include in the character profile. Did you start your project with a great story idea? Or are you being driven by an awesome character and aren’t quite sure of the plot yet? There is no right answer! But it’s helpful to think about where you think the story is going and how your character lives in that world. Add these details to your character profile. For example, if you have an awesome idea for a love story and you know some of the twists and turns it’ll take, write them out and see if your character fits into those moments. If you need a protagonist who is romantic and plans extravagant gestures, it probably wouldn’t make sense if your character is forgetful or sloppy. Whether you’re writing something based in our world today or a story that takes...

Studies have shown that by increasing the amount of water that you drink, you can also increase your metabolic rate by as much as 40%. This increase may be a result of your body’s attempt to heat the water that you are ingesting, but the reason for the increase is unclear. Our bodies also often confuse thirst and hunger, so it is important to stay hydrated for that reason as well. Coffee has been shown to increase metabolism because of the caffeine content. One study showed that drinking coffee significantly increased the metabolic rate of both normal weight and obese subjects. Keep in mind that the metabolic effects of caffeine are small compared to other measures like exercise. Excess consumption of caffeine can also cause nervousness, insomnia, and other negative side effects. Combining green tea (even decaf green tea) with diet and exercise can improve your metabolic rate. One study showed that combining decaffeinated green tea extract with exercise created more dramatic results than exercise alone. Consider adding decaffeinated green tea extract or drinking a cup or two of green tea as a complement to your diet and exercise regimen. Crash diets dramatically restrict your caloric intake, which can have a negative effect on your metabolism. Even though you may experience some initial weight loss from a crash diet, crash diets ultimately slow down your metabolism and often lead to gaining more weight after the fact. Crash diets can also cause you to become deficient in some important nutrients due to the limitations that they place on the variety of your food intake.

TL;DR in English: Drink plenty of water. Drink coffee. Drink green tea. Follow a healthy diet, not a crash diet.

For tighter curls, grab smaller sections and for less tighter curls take bigger sections . It may help to loosely clamp the hair higher up and then slide it down.

During your time at college, you’ll encounter many new people with cultures, opinions, behaviors, and spiritual backgrounds different from your own. Rather than passing judgment on these people, treat them with the same respect you would expect from them. Remind yourself that you're all God’s children, which means you’re all equally deserving of love. By promoting open, respectful dialogue, you’ll have a chance to explain your beliefs as a Christian and perhaps even cause someone to rethink their preconceived notions. For many students, college presents an opportunity to cut loose and try new things, but these experiences won’t always be positive ones. Don’t be afraid to walk away from a situation if it makes you uncomfortable. Resisting peer pressure may be difficult at first, but after you work up the nerve to put your foot down a few times, you’ll begin to grow stronger in your convictions.  When you’re not sure if what you’re doing is right, ask yourself whether your church leader or another trusted mentor would approve. There’s no reason to feel ashamed for not going along with everyone else. You’re not hiding behind your religion, you’re serving God’s will through your actions. Hang a cross on the wall of your dorm room, or wear an ichthys pendant around your neck. Symbols like these can provide comfort in times of doubt or hardship. Whenever you’re feeling lost, look upon them and reflect on God’s plan for you.  Wherever you go, your Bible should come with you. It’s your most accessible source for receiving God’s word.  Write a few of your favorite inspirational verses on the inside of your notebook so you’ll see them every day when you’re preparing for class. When it doubt, pray. God’s grace is always there to offer much-needed direction and reassurance when you need it most. Listen to His answer and carry it out as his faithful disciple. Focus on the blessings He has bestowed upon you, not your own fears and insecurities.  Pray for the wisdom to help you ace a big exam, or the courage to put your...

Separating from a spouse almost always reduces your income and increases your expenses. Accordingly, you need to create a budget, preferably before you separate. You can make a budget with your wife. However, since you will be living alone, you really need to take control of financial decision-making yourself.  Look at all sources of income. If you are staying with the children, you can expect child support payments from your wife. But these can take time to establish. Also, you should ideally manage to support yourself as best as you can without relying on your spouse. Take a hard look at your expenses. If you were used to splitting the cost of car insurance, food, and entertainment with your wife, you will now be entirely responsible for those. Your individual expenses could increase as a result. You will need a cushion to help you transition to your single life. Ideally, you should save at least three months of expenses. This amount will give you time to set up your new life. Any balance on a joint credit card is generally the responsibility of both you and your wife. You want to make sure that no new expenses are added to the card. Call up the credit card company and ask that no new charges be allowed on the card. If necessary, you can close the card. You also should try to get a credit card in your own name. You should not use any joint card after you separate. Once you decide to separate, you don’t want your wife cleaning out the joint bank account. For this reason, you should move quickly to either close the account or require that both spouses provide signatures before money can be removed.  Call up your bank and ask how you can limit withdrawals. Also cancel overdraft lines and lines of credit. Make sure to have any direct deposit routed to a new bank account. This may take some time to go through so start as soon as possible. If you need your wife to agree to close the account, then you should find a good time to talk and raise the issue with her. You could say, “Since we’re living apart, I think it...

You won't be able to drive a ball over the batter's eye in center field just be reading articles online at home. You'll need to get into the gym and work on building up and reinforcing the most important key to your swing - your body. While a massive chest, broad shoulders, and bulging biceps look impressive, a powerful swing actually requires other muscles. While the swinging seems to be done by your upper body, your upper body is mostly a vehicle for delivering the power that your legs generate. Work on improving lower body strength. Powerful, multi-joint moves like squats, lunges, and cleans are a great way to build up functional lower body strength. Abs, obliques, and your lower back muscles are necessary for stabilizing your upper body and delivering the power generated by your legs through contact with the ball. A weak core will compromise the kinetic chain from your lower body to the head of the bat. While biceps may look good at the beach, they do little for your baseball swing. Strong wrists and a strong grip, on the other hand, add both stability and bat speed to your swing. Don't neglect them. There is a reason why athletes from all-star baseball sluggers to NFL running backs and receivers take yoga and dance classes to give them an edge in their sports. You should do the same.  Focusing on flexibility through exercises like yoga, which builds core strength and stability as well as increases range of motion.   By making your body more flexible you'll boost your reaction time and bat speed in addition to keeping your kinetic chain fluid and powerful. While the effects of learning to relax are physical, the process is mental. Some athletes use meditation or yoga to relax, some repeat reassuring phrases or mantras. Sluggers and hitting coaches know that trying to hit a home run with every swing is a sure-fire way to start a hitting slump.

See if she wants to keep your attention or if her eyes move away from yours. If she is consistently making eye contact and sometimes blushing while doing it, chances are she’s interested in you. She may also try stealing quick glances at you when she thinks you're not looking.  Of course, you don't want to just stare at her because that will come off as creepy. Just glance in her direction, or try to hold her eyes for a couple of seconds. However, some girls are just shy, and they may not want to make eye contact with you. Try encouraging her with other steps. Smiling shows your interest, and makes it easy for her to smile back at you. Sometimes, it might take a while for both of you to just make eye contact and smile before you’re ready to actually talk to each other. Even if you’re nervous, smiling is a good way to make contact because a smile actually acts as a reward to other people. In other words, when you smile at her, her brain perceives it as a reward, making her happier to be around you. Don’t just hang around with the same group of friends. It’s much easier to approach someone who is alone rather than someone who's with a large group, so if you make sure you're alone sometime when she's around, she might come over and talk to you. You could also try and go alone to a place you know she will be to make yourself a little more available. You never know what might happen. For instance, maybe you notice she spends time at the library after school. Make it a point to show up there, too. Try sitting at a table near her, where she can see you. ” It’s an easy first step and a way to acknowledge that you’re noticing each other. You don’t have to do much more at first if you’re shy. If she’s unwilling to say “hi” back, she might not be interested. Try it a few more times, but if she never responds, let it go. You might be nervous about approaching her, but the only way you can really test your theory of whether she likes you or not is to actually talk to her. If she’s responded to your greeting, you can move...

TL;DR in English: Make eye contact. Smile at her. Make opportunities for her to talk to you. Say “hi. Think about how to start a conversation. Engage her in conversation.

Having a game plan for what you and your family will be eating each week can be a game changer. With a meal plan, you will be more likely to eat healthy foods, even if you are on the go. Sit down with your family once a week and make a plan for what you will be eating at each meal during the upcoming week. Once you have your healthy meal plan put together, you will need to make a shopping list. Go through all the recipes you will be making and list all of the ingredients you will need to make your meals. Be sure to go through your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer to see what ingredients you already have on hand. Making sure your kitchen is stocked with healthy food is one of the most important parts of successfully preparing healthy meals. Pick a day that you can make a weekly shopping trip, and make it part of your weekly schedule. When you come home from a long day of work, chopping and preparing ingredients for a healthy dinner can seem overwhelming. You can get ahead of the game by taking an hour or two on the weekend and prepping ingredients for your meals.  For example, you can chop the veggies you'll need for weeknight dinners on the weekend. If you're planning on making meals with rice, you can try cooking a big batch on the weekend. You can make the most of your time in the kitchen by giving batch cooking a chance. Batch cooking is when you prepare multiple portions of several meals that you will eat at a later date. You can store the portions in your refrigerator to eat later in the week, or in your freezer if you plan on consuming them later that month. You can be even more successful at preparing healthy meals on the go if you have a plan for your leftovers. For example, you can use Monday's leftover roasted pork in Tuesday's pork barbecue sandwiches. Crockpots will do the cooking for you while you are at work, school, or running errands. For example, you can place four chicken breasts and a can of salsa in a crockpot for 4 hours on low heat. When you come home, shred the chicken and place in...

Thresh the lentils to shake them loose from the plant. Remove pods by hand if any remain after threshing. Winnow the lentils to remove the chaff and other debris. Store the lentils in a dry, cool place.

You won't see the result immediately, but keeping a dryer garden is the best method for long-term slug control. Here are some tactics for making your garden less friendly to the damp-loving pests:  Water plants in the early to mid morning, so the soil dries before nightfall.  Install drip irrigation to minimize water use. Keep the yard free of debris, and mow the lawn regularly. Avoid organic mulches, such as straw or grass clippings. Space plants far enough apart to allow air flow between them. The following plant preparations all deter slugs to some extent, if you can find them in your local gardening store:  Oak leaf mulch or tobacco stem meal, spread as a barrier around plants Wormwood tea, made from steeping artemisia cuttings in warm water for 24 hours. Strain and combine with soapy water, then spray onto soil or slugs. Purchase strips of copper foil wide enough that the slugs can’t bridge it with their bodies. Use them to form a barricade around your plants or planting beds. Young children may cut themselves on the strips. Spread salt on the surface where the slugs are crawling around to kill them by drawing out moisture. Be aware that salt can easily kill plants and ruin soil. Use this around the base of potted plants on a porch, or place a barrier on the soil prior to spreading the salt in order to protect the integrity of the soil. Avoid using salt in situations where it can come into the contact with water (like when rainy weather is likely or a sprinkler is running). Water can dissolve salt and wash it off of "safe" surfaces and into the soil, harming soil quality. Frustrated gardeners have thrown just about any substance in their garden to try to keep slugs away. The following are the best of these homemade solutions, but are unlikely to deter 100% of slugs:  Coffee grounds may have mild effects on the health of your garden. Sharp, coarse sand scrapes against slugs, but may not deter them completely. Seaweed is not as effective as plain salt, but perhaps a little safer for your soil. Calcified...

TL;DR in English: Keep your garden dry. Create mulch or tea from certain plants. Make a copper strip barrier. Sprinkle salt on non-soil surfaces. Build folk remedy barriers. Grow plants that deter slugs. Consider using more powerful (but more hazardous) barriers.

A kerf is just a saw cut, and kerfing means cutting a series of these slits so your wood can bend. The result is much weaker than other methods of bending wood, but it keeps the wood permanently flexible along that curve. It is also the fastest approach, and does not require special equipment. The cuts must be against the grain to reduce the chance of splitting the wood. Use a table saw to make these cuts along the part of the wood you'd like to bend. Space your cuts evenly (and close together) with a jig, or use a visual indicator on your table to get a consistent distance between cuts. In order to bend your wood more than a slight curve, you'll need to cut almost entirely through the wood. Leave only a thin edge to hold the wood together. Bend the wood so the "spines" left by your cut touch, forming a single stress-bearing edge. You can now keep the bend in place by fastening the two ends of the lumber to a stable object. Remember that this is a weak bend, and do not rely on it to support much weight or stress. If you want to hide the gaps left by the saw, plug them with wood filler that matches your lumber. Alternatively, leave the wood as-is if you prefer the aesthetic, or if you would like to bend it to different angles.

TL;DR in English: Plan your project. Cut a series of grooves against the grain. Cut almost to the edge of the wood. Bend the wood inward. Fill the kerfs if desired.

To add uncertain measurements, simply add the measurements and add their uncertainties:  (5 cm ± .2 cm) + (3 cm ± .1 cm) = (5 cm + 3 cm) ± (.2 cm +. 1 cm) = 8 cm ± .3 cm To subtract uncertain measurements, simply subtract the measurements while still adding their uncertainties:  (10 cm ± .4 cm) - (3 cm ± .2 cm) = (10 cm - 3 cm) ± (.4 cm +. 2 cm) = 7 cm ± .6 cm To multiply uncertain measurements, simply multiply the measurements while adding their RELATIVE uncertainties (as a percentage): Calculating uncertainties with multiplication does not work with absolute values (like we had in addition and subtraction), but with relative ones. You get the relative uncertainty by dividing the absolute uncertainty with a measured value and multiplying by 100 to get percentage.  For example:  (6 cm ± .2 cm) = (.2 / 6) x 100 and add a % sign. That is 3.3 % Therefore: (6 cm ± .2 cm) x (4 cm ± .3 cm) = (6 cm ± 3.3% ) x (4 cm ± 7.5%) (6 cm x 4 cm) ± (3.3 + 7.5) = 24 cm ± 10.8 % = 24 cm ± 2.6 cm To divide uncertain measurements, simply divide the measurements while adding their RELATIVE uncertainties:The process is the same as in multiplication!  (10 cm ± .6 cm) ÷ (5 cm ± .2 cm) = (10 cm ± 6%) ÷ (5 cm ± 4%) (10 cm ÷ 5 cm) ± (6% + 4%) = 2 cm ± 10% = 2 cm ± 0.2 cm To increase an uncertain measurement exponentially, simply raise the measurement to the designated power, and then multiply the relative uncertainty by that power:  (2.0 cm ± 1.0 cm)3 = (2.0 cm)3 ± (50%) x 3 = 8.0 cm3 ± 150 % or  8.0 cm3 ±12 cm3

TL;DR in English: Add uncertain measurements. Subtract uncertain measurements. Multiply uncertain measurements. Divide uncertain measurements. Increase an uncertain measurement exponentially.

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

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

There are many ways you can thresh the lentils. You can start with small stems and rub the plants between your hands until the lentils fall off. Or you can put the lentils in a bag or pillowcase. Hit the bag with a stick or walk on top of the bag to free the lentils. Threshing can also help shell the lentils, breaking them away from their pods. You can also remove the lentils by hand. If they are mature, they should come off easily when you pull them from the plant. Since this can be time consuming, only do this for lentils that did not come off from shaking the plant.  Try rubbing off any remaining pods. Put the stem in the palm of your hand and use your fingers to separate the lentils. If the lentils don't fall off easily, they may not be ripe enough. Try leaving them on a drying rack for a few days. Get 2 buckets that can hold your harvest. Stand outside and pour the lentils into 1 bucket. Lift up the bucket and pour the lentils into the second bucket. Keep pouring the lentils between the buckets until most of the chaff blows away.  When you pour the lentils into the bucket, chaff blows away in the wind while the heavier lentils remain in the buckets. If you can't go outside, stand in front of a fan on a low setting. Chaff includes leaves, stems, and other bits of dirt that might become mixed in with the lentils. It can also include shattered seed bits. Keep dried lentils in a jar or plastic container, preferably one that is airtight. Put the container in a pantry, cabinet, or another dry place. Dried lentils will last for about 10-12 months if stored properly. It can be difficult to tell when lentils have gone bad. If they appear hard and brittle or if they take longer to cook than normal, you may wish to toss them.

TL;DR in English:


Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of fluids. Try to avoid being around people for a couple of days. Use a humidifier. Purchase lozenges or gargle saltwater for a sore throat. See a doctor if you have preexisting health conditions that could make your infection worse.

It’s a good idea to store any travel documents, visas and passports in a special pouch or bag where you won’t misplace them. Be sure to bring refills of any medicines that you won’t be able to replace while you’re traveling, along with toiletries that are must-haves and will be hard to find when you get there. A journal and camera are important so you can keep memories from your trip for years to come. If you’re bringing a tablet, this can double as a journal, and potentially a camera. Otherwise consider a small, point-and-shoot camera. Don’t forget that extra memory card and battery.  We all have our trusty chap stick that we absolutely can’t live without. So if you’re worried you could run out and not be able to find an essential item on your trip, pack an extra to be safe.  Back up credit or debit cards and a photocopy of your passport and visa could come in handy if you happen to misplace these items or they are stolen. If your allergies occasionally flair up or you tend to get migraines, make sure you’re better safe than sorry and pack appropriate medications. As a bonus you can also use this to carefully consider what you’ll need for each activity or stop on your trip. You’ll be able to easily anticipate what each day will bring. You may even notice a few items to eliminate because they won't be of use.  If you aren’t entirely sure what will come in handy for each stop on your trip, research online reviews to find out what others say about the experience and what they wish they’d brought. For instance, find out if a boat trip you’re planning to take provides sunscreen and towels or if this is something you’ll need to pack.  Comfortable shoes may be the single most important item you pack. Typically this includes a pair that ties and has arch support, although it varies by person. Bring articles of clothing that aren’t too specific and will match with multiple items you packed. This way you won’t need to worry about what’s clean and what needs washing. Plan to bring three pairs of socks, underwear, and...

TL;DR in English: First pack items that you know you can’t live without. Print out your itinerary to reference once you arrive at your destination and to help you stay organized from day-to-day. Pack in threes. Consider the culture and dress code for where you’re traveling and pack accordingly. Find a reputable guidebook and foreign language phrasebook. Be prepared with appropriate containers and zip lock bags to make going through airport security a breeze. Bring books, music, your laptop and anything else to entertain you during the lengthy flight, layover, and potential delays.

To cook your own pumpkin seeds, you must start with raw seeds, and the best place to get these is a fresh pumpkin. Cut open your pumpkin by cutting off the top and quartering it, or by cutting an angled hole around the stem. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Transfer the seeds to a colander and rinse them under running water. Pick through with your fingers to remove the stringy bits and orange flesh. Toss the seeds to remove excess water. The easiest way to toast pumpkin seeds is to cook them in a frying pan. Place a dry 10-inch skillet over medium heat and let it preheat for two to three minutes. A dry frying pan means there is no oil or other liquid in it. Add the pumpkin seeds to the hot frying pan and spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cook the seeds for four to five minutes.  As the seeds cook, toss them around in the pan or stir them with a wooden spoon every minute. The seeds are ready when they become golden brown and puff up. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the warm seeds to a bowl. Drizzle in the oil, add the spices, and toss to coat. You can season the seeds with a pinch of:  Salt Pepper Cinnamon Curry powder Herbs, such as rosemary or thyme

TL;DR in English: Collect and clean the seeds. Heat the frying pan. Toast the seeds. Season with oil and spices before serving.

Bootable antiviruses are anti-malware applications that can be installed and run on an external storage like a flash drive or a CD.  Assuming that the ransomware has already blocked your access to your own computer, you may need to download and install the bootable antivirus on a different PC.  Windows Defender Offline is a popular option on Windows for many reasons:  it is by the same manufacturer of the operating system, it comes preinstalled on all Windows 8/8.1/10 devices, and is easy to run. Connect the external media where you want to install the antivirus and click the downloaded file, the antivirus will start installing itself on your preferred external media.  Depending on the application you downloaded, you can install the bootable antivirus on a CD or a flash drive, but it’s advisable that you use the latter for easier access because not all PCs have disc drive (like netbooks). Download the antivirus onto a computer that does not have the virus. Once the antivirus has been successfully installed, safely unplug the flash drive from the USB port or remove the CD from the disc drive.

TL;DR in English: Download a bootable antivirus. Install the antivirus to a bootable media. Disconnect the media from the computer.

There are many that can be found on the Internet. Just do a search for “GIMP Brushes”. Both dedicated sites like GIMPbrush.com and artist sites such as DeviantArt feature GIMP brushes. GIMP brushes end in the extensions “.gbr”, “.gih”, or “.vbr”.   Simple brushes for other programs, such as Photoshop, also often work for GIMP by simply changing the file extension to “.gbr”. Note that recent versions of GIMP will actually convert Photoshop brushes automatically.   The more complex the brush, the less likely it is to be convertible to GIMP. Procedural brushes, which change shape depending on how they are used, generally can’t be converted. The proper place for this is in your personal “Brushes” folder, generally found at “C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\.gimp-2.6\brushes”. The exact filename will vary according to the version of GIMP you are using.  There is a general brushes folder that is not separated by user, but GIMP advises that you do not edit that folder in any way. This is a button near the bottom right of the brushes display that shows two arrows, each pointing at the beginning of the other. This should cause GIMP to detect and display your brushes.

TL;DR in English: Download a GIMP brush or brush pack. Place the brush in the brush search path. Click the “Refresh Brushes” button.

When your body gets infected with a virus, it works overtime to keep functioning while also fighting off your infection. Because of this, it's important to rest. Take a day or two off work or school and do low-energy activities like watching a movie or sleeping in bed. Resting will allow your body to focus all of its energy on overcoming the virus. Other low-energy activities you can do if you can’t sleep include:  Reading a book, catching up on your favorite TV show, listening to music in bed, and calling someone on the phone. Be aware that antibiotics are not effective against viral infections and that, in general, you need to simply rest and allow your body to combat the virus. Viral infections generally lead to dehydration (as a result of water lost through mucus production and fever). When you become dehydrated, your symptoms will get worse; it's a vicious cycle that you should try to break out of by drinking plenty of liquids. Drink water, tea, natural juice, and drinks with electrolytes to stay hydrated. Try to stay away from alcohol or caffeinated beverages, as these types of drinks can actually dehydrate you further. Viruses are contagious, which means that you can actually pass the virus to others, making them sick as well. Being around other people can also put you at risk of being exposed to other microorganisms like bacteria, which could make you more sick than you already are.  Take at least two days off of work or school to avoid getting other people sick. If you absolutely have to go into work or school, wear a mask to prevent others from becoming infected. The mask will prevent contagious particles from spreading through the air, especially if you are coughing or sneezing. Using a humidifier, particularly in your room at night as you try to fall asleep, can help to ease symptoms of congestion and cough. This will help you to sleep better, and a better quality sleep equates to improved healing capacity. Be sure that your humidifier is clean to prevent any air contamination (such as with molds)...
