Many adults who have severely picky eating habits may be suffering from selective eating disorder. Most people with this disorder are embarrassed by their inability to expand their food preferences and will try to hide their issues by avoiding social events that involve food or by making excuses to avoid eating in front of others. Spitting food into a napkin or pretending to chew food are ways that people with this disorder often deal with eating in public around other people.  People with this disorder may also eat less than 20 different types of foods, associate certain foods with fear or anxiety and often rejects entire food groups, such as meat or vegetables.  Selective eating disorder can start when you are young and develop picky eating habits. It can then get worse as you get older and develop into an OCD like disorder.  Often, people with selective eating disorder will try to eat different foods but their associations to that certain food is so negative, they cannot force themselves to eat it. It’s important to speak to your physician if you find it difficult to adjust your eating habits despite trying several practical methods or solutions, like changing up your food options or preparing your food differently. Children who display picky eating habits should be encouraged to explore and try new foods. This will prevent them from developing more serious issues with food in adulthood. Whether you have selective eating disorder or simply have picky preferences, working with a registered dietitian can help you find options that work for you. A dietitian can work with you to find options that are within your acceptable foods and still help you balance your diet. They can also work with you to introduce new foods in new and interesting ways so that you are not immediately off-put by them. Bring your lists of your favorite foods and your deal-breaker foods to help your dietitian understand what you do and don’t like incorporated in your meals. There is no clear cure for picky eating, other than to practice...

TL;DR in English: Research selective eating disorder. Talk to your doctor if you feel your picky eating is out of control. Meet with a dietitian. Learn to cope with your picky food habits.

You can use them to make things more interesting, turning study into gameplay. If you are not the tech type, you can have an older sibling/parent/guardian make a game for you. . Put on some music that has catchy, relaxing tunes. Never use music or songs that have lyrics to them; they will divert your attention from and take your mind off of studying (unless you can zone out lyrics).  Something in the electronic music genres such as pop or jazz is also great for this. If you do not like music, you can keep thinking about a favorite scene in a book or movie that you like. Get together some healthy snacks to nibble on as you study. Allowing yourself a little nibble every now and then helps the study time to pass more pleasantly. Also, it is often effective if you use snacks as a form of treat for yourself every time you complete a part of the work.  Don't have a huge bag of chips - try to have something simple such as an apple or banana. Vitamin B is great but an occasional treat is okay like hard candy is fine because you don't need attention about that. Something with a lot of B vitamins such as nuts are great for studying because B vitamins are great for brain fun hours, no matter what.  Decorate your spot with favorite things like postcards, knick-knacks, figurines, notes from friends etc.  Even temporary spaces can be decorated with bits and pieces you keep in a portable box. But, try not to make your study area too distracting. The less clutter in your study area, the better. Nothing makes study more difficult than feeling uncomfortable as you sit and not being able to read the work properly.  This is especially true in the winter months.  It is also good to study near a window or natural light because that will have a bigger boost in energy than artificial light. Nothing sends a person to sleep faster than lack of air.  Get fresh air into your room regularly - even in winter!  Make sure it circulates, even if this means using a fan in winter to blow around warm air; this is better than stale, stagnant...

TL;DR in English: Try interactive learning software. Use music Keep snacks close. Provide good lighting and a comfortable chair which is at the right height for the desk. Ensure adequate ventilation. Have good temperature levels. Get cool or creative stationery and desk gear. Schedule time slots for study and other times for play. Look at your study from a different perspective. Realize that study is about more than the topic before you. Get a pet to encourage you! Take breaks. If you are doing word problems in math, change the problem to make it more interesting or even a bit silly. If you like music, create a short song about the general points of what you're studying. Make flash cards. Go over your notes and draw pictures. Make an easy retrieval table. If you are reading your textbook, use funny accents or weird voices. Use mnemonic devices. Make small posters that you can hang up around your room or around your house. If you need to study for a spelling test, eat alphabet cereal in the morning! Are you an IT/computer person? Pretend you're a teacher and create a test or quiz that you can take yourself or make your older sibling(s) and/or parent(s) take. If you have to take a test on some boring book in English class, try replacing the characters in the story with characters from video games, TV shows, or characters from any other forms of media if you can. Try a change of scenery. Just try your best, don't overtax yourself and you'll do well. The more fun, the more worthwhile! Try writing spelling words out 5 times.

Most healthy dogs can have their food switched over a gradual seven day transition. Switching food gradually helps the dog’s body adjust to the new food. Follow this feeding schedule:  Day 1: Feed 75% of the old food mixed with 25% of the new food in each serving. Day 2: Feed 60% of the old food mixed with 40% of the new food in each serving. Day 3: Feed 50% of the old food mixed with 50% of the new food in each serving. Day 4: Feed 40% of the old food mixed with 60% of the new food in each serving. Day 5: Feed 25% of the old food mixed with 75% of the new food in each serving. Day 6: Feed 100% of the new food. This may mean watching your dog go to the bathroom so you don’t miss any signs. These signs include vomiting, diarrhea, and gas.  If you notice these signs, slow down the process of switching food and step back one day in the process. For example, if you are feeding a 50-50 mix of the food, back it down to 60% of old food to 40% of the new food and keep it at this ratio for an extra day before going on to the next step. Then extend the days held at each step to two or three before proceeding further. Some dogs need more time to adapt to the new food. If your dog gets a moderate case of diarrhea try to treat the condition. Some experts suggest adding pureed pumpkin to your dog's food. Add about two teaspoons to a small dogs meal or two tablespoons to a large dog's meal.  Most dogs will have no problem adjusting to the new food as long as the time is taken to gradually acclimate their bodies to the new food. There is a difference between a little gastrointestinal distress and a more extreme physical reaction to a food change. If at any time you notice these signs call your veterinarian for advice:  Vomiting more than three times or unremitting vomiting Vomit or diarrhea with blood Uncontrolled diarrhea (accidents in the house) Lethargy or lack of energy Painful abdomen (cries when belly touched, pacing, or stretching front legs out while rear end is up)

TL;DR in English: Gradually switch your dog's food. Watch your dog carefully for any signs of gastrointestinal upset. Call your veterinarian if your dog becomes extremely ill.

If you begin to date, know that you have to keep work first no matter what.  Regardless of if you’ve had an argument the night before, keep that out of the workplace.  Keep a schedule and a to do list and continue to complete all assignments well and on time. Keep your conversations at work completely business related. If you have only been on a date or two with this person, there is little need to inform your coworkers or your boss about it.  But if you have began to see them more regularly, then you should tell your supervisor before someone else does. The person you are dating might be someone who you have to work with very closely.  When in meetings with them, keep the door or blinds open.  You do not want others to assume that you are being inappropriate in your office. Avoid spending unnecessary time alone together while at work.  Go to lunch together occasionally, but not everyday.  Continue to maintain your friendships with your other coworkers. Though you may want to hug or kiss your partner at work, know that doing so could do some damage to your professional reputation.  It is okay for others to know that you are dating, but keep things at the workplace strictly professional. Don’t discuss squabbles, sex, or any other major details about your relationship with your coworkers.  You do not want others knowing too much about your romantic relationship and you don’t want them knowing things about your partner that they wouldn’t want you to tell. Don’t ask them to put a good word in with your supervisor.  Instead, rely on your merit and work hard to achieve what you want.  You will feel better about yourself and your partner will be proud of you. If you want to send your partner cute messages throughout the day, do so through your cell phone.  Any correspondence sent through email may be monitored and could be potentially be used in a sexual harassment lawsuit should your relationship go sour.  Use only your personal devices for personal messages. If you break up, do not date another coworker,...

Drill the side of the toaster for screws to add the nose with. Screw the nose on the side of the toaster.     Curl the fuzzy wires into the shape of a pig's tail.  Drill the other side of the toaster for a screw to fit in, this is where you are going to put the pig's tail.     Install the screw.     Make sure you shave off the end of the fuzzy wire just to be sure it won't heat up and potentially catch fire. Once shaved, it should be easy to tie the fuzzy wire to the screw you installed.     Attach the tail to the toaster's body.    While the method above may work well for you, there are some different options that you might wish to consider for attaching the features to the oven:  An alternative way to decorate the exterior of the toaster oven would be to use a hot glue gun to affix the nose to the middle of the window and the googly eyes to the metal area above the window of the oven. Instead of wood, use felt. Cut out two large circles from the pink felt. Use the craft wire to construct pointy piggy ears on top of the oven. Apply the wire with hot glue to the toaster and allow it to dry. Wrap the wire with the felt circles and secure around the base of the wire. Trim excess material if necessary.

You should identify areas that you may potentially be hired based on the languages you speak, your nationality and the job you perform. For example, if you speak English and French, you will want to look in those countries and Switzerland or Belgium. It is no longer very easy to travel to a country and apply for jobs while you are there. Most people should establish their training in their own country and apply for jobs or visas before going abroad. People with medical degrees, certain engineering degrees, entrepreneurs, investors and certain mechanics may be able to apply for an eased work permit or they may not be required to have a European work permit at all.  In the UK, investors, entrepreneurs, people with exceptional talent and some graduate students or graduate entrepreneurs can apply for a point-based visa system. For many of these categories, there are a limited number of visas, so make sure you apply early. Elsewhere in Europe, countries are either adopting a points-based system, like the UK, that awards a value based upon your skills and experience. This is a response to supplement the skills of an aging population. Many countries, such as Switzerland, specify that a company must sponsor a non-EU citizen. However, for certain positions, they may not be required to offer the job in their country beforehand. This is the most common path to get a skilled job in a European country, because your company will help you apply for the visa before you move. You can search for jobs by specific companies, or you can go online to job aggregate sites, like Monster, CareerBuilder and Indeed and look for jobs located in Europe. Many domestic programs are cheaper and well respected in Europe. Visit websites like eslemployment.com, teachaway.com, languagecorps.com to begin researching positions in EU and non-EU countries.  If you have an education degree, you can apply for work in international, military and immersion schools abroad. As well as applying online, you may attend international teaching job fairs to...

TL;DR in English: Decide where you would like to work. Decide how you would like to work. Get a degree in a discipline that is currently in demand in Europe. Search for international companies to sponsor your work visa. Get your TEFL certificate in your country. Become an au pair. Request a residence visa for study or living with family.

Many flashes come with a diffuser, which is a milky, translucent piece of plastic that you put over the flash. This helps soften the flash when you need to aim it at the subject but don’t want a harsh light. You can use opaque tape, a piece of white paper, or even a piece of a milk jug to diffuse your flash. Simply affix the material over the flash and take your photograph. Using a opaque but colored material, such as fabric, tape, or paper, to diffuse your flash will add color to the photo. You can create interesting color effects by playing around with different colored materials as a flash diffuser. Keep in mind that using a colored material may make your photo look unnatural, so this is best for when you want a unique photograph, rather than for standard portraits or landscapes. Placing an umbrella in front of your flash, so that your flash shoots through the umbrella, creates a more even light for your subject. This also softens the light and tones down the shadows and definition in your photograph.

TL;DR in English: Use a built-in diffuser. Cover your flash with an opaque material. Cover your flash with a colored material. Shoot your flash through an umbrella.

If you were caught red-handed in the moment, or if your teacher has irrefutable evidence against you, you should confess. The worst thing you can do after being caught cheating is to dig yourself into a deeper hole. While it can be scary to be completely honest with an authority figure, it may be your only choice. It’s also the easier thing to do, because you won’t have to rely on being a good actor or keeping your story straight. Think about the last time someone lied to your face, and you knew they were lying. Not only did it probably not feel great, it probably also increased your anger. Don’t make your situation worse by lying. You got caught doing something wrong, and you should act sorry. Whether or not you genuinely feel it in your heart, act like you regret your decision to cheat. If you admit that you cheated with a huge smile on your face, you’ll most likely get a harsher punishment simply to teach you a lesson.  Be open about how you feel. If you feel the urge to cry, let those tears flow. The more emotion that your teacher sees from you, the better. If the authority figure sees that you are upset, they may be more lenient with punishment. Trying to play it cool is likely to backfire, because they'll think you need to be taught a lesson. This doesn’t mean you should start spouting off excuses, but rather give some rationale behind your actions. Instead of letting the teacher or counselor assume you are lazy or simply mischievous, try to offer them a reason they can understand. For example, tell them you were overwhelmed by the course material and simply were terrified of failing. It doesn’t undo the cheating, but everyone can relate to being scared. Make sure to tell your teacher that you studied for the test. It will look better for you if they know you did try to do well on your own.

TL;DR in English: Own up to your mistake. Show remorse. Explain why you cheated.

Call for emergency medical help or ask someone else nearby to do it while you begin caring for the injured person. Do this as soon as possible, so that help will quickly arrive. This is the key to survival for a severely injured person. If you suspect the person has injuries that are causing internal bleeding, let medical help know when you call. There might be internal bleeding if you notice the person coughing up blood, vomiting, or bleeding from the ears, eyes, nose, or mouth. Any sudden bruising along with swelling of the back, abdomen, or an arm or leg are also further signs of internal bleeding. ABCDE stands for Airways, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, and Exposure/Environment and serves as a reminder of the order in which you should evaluate the trauma of the injured person. Knowing the source of the trauma will help in deciding how to proceed with first aid as well as inform emergency personnel, such as 911 operators, to address the problem more accurately.   Airways: Check for obstructions to the injured person's airways. Is there a foreign object in the way? Are there external or internal fractures preventing airflow?  Breathing: Check if they are breathing. Is their chest rising and falling? Do they need additional oxygen?  Circulation: Check that the injured person has adequate blood circulation. Do they have a pulse? Are they conscious?  Disability: Check for signs of brain trauma. Are they conscious? Are their pupils dilated?  Exposure/Environment: Check to see if they are injured elsewhere or at further risk. Are they protected from cold or hot? Are they restricted by their own clothes or dangerous elements? Do not move the injured person if you do not have to. However, if there is immediate danger of other injury (from traffic, falling objects, etc.), try to form a barrier, keeping the injured person and others safe, such as by directing traffic around an accident site. If you absolutely must move the injured person yourself, immobilize the wound site as best you can. If you can, you'll...

TL;DR in English: Get help. Evaluate the injured person using the ABCDE mnemonic. Make sure that there is no immediate danger of further injury. Wash your hands if possible. Clear the wound site. Apply pressure. Secure the bandage. Elevate the wound.

While you can freeze cake layers for much longer, the quality will start to degrade after a few months. It will still be safe to eat for up to a year, though. Like whole cakes, layers thaw best in the refrigerator. However, individual layers may defrost a bit faster than whole cakes, so you may get away with only 12-16 hours in the fridge instead of 24 hours. Use the layers within 2 days, as they'll likely get stale after that. You don't need to let it warm up on the counter before you frost it. It will warm up while you're working with it. In fact, it's easier to frost a previously frozen cake layer because it doesn't create as many crumbs. After frosting, add any decorations you'd like, such as piping, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings.  It can still be lightly frozen in the center if you're frosting it on the counter. You may even be able to get away without doing a crumb layer of frosting. When you leave a frozen cake out on the counter, it tends to get mushy. Don't try to speed up the process by just leaving the cake layers on the counter.

Fig trees need a lot of direct sunlight to thrive. Pick any spot in your yard that gets year-round sunlight. Make sure there aren't any nearby trees or structures that will block the sun from reaching your fig tree. If temperatures drop below 10 °F (−12 °C), fig trees buried in the ground may struggle to survive. Planting your fig tree in a plastic container will help shelter it from the cold. Use a large plastic patio container relative to the size of your fig tree. If you do plant your fig tree in a plastic container, make sure you have somewhere sunny to put it. Dig the hole so it's as round and deep as the container. After you dig the hole, remove the fig tree from the container and set the roots into the hole. Then, fill the hole in with soil. Pack the soil down with your hands. Figs are hardy trees that can grow in most kinds of soil, as long as the soil has good drainage. Look for soil that contains sand, and avoid soil with a lot of clay in it. The compost will help the soil around your fig tree retain water. Do this whether your fig tree is planted in the ground or planted in a container. Repot your fig tree during the winter. To repot your tree, remove about one-quarter of the soil in the pot. Then, pull your fig tree up out of the pot and cut away the large roots on the outside of the clump of roots. Place your fig tree back in the same pot and fill it in with soil. Pack the soil down with your hands.

TL;DR in English: Choose a sunny spot to plant your fig tree. Plant your fig tree in a large plastic container if you live in a cold climate. Plant your fig tree in a hole the size of the container it came in. Plant your fig tree in well-draining soil. Mulch the soil around your fig tree with 3 inches (7.6 cm) of compost. Repot your fig tree every 3-5 years if it's planted in a container.

Your spine is a complex collection of joints, nerves, muscles, blood vessels and connective tissue. There are many structures that can generate pain if you move your back the wrong way or experience some trauma. Severe back pain can come on quickly, but it can sometimes go away quickly also (without any treatment whatsoever) because the body has a tremendous ability to heal itself. As such, be patient for a few hours if you experience a bout of bad back pain, avoid any strenuous activities and keep a positive attitude.  Signs and symptoms for which you should seek immediate medical attention include: muscle weakness and/or loss of sensation in your arms or legs, loss of bladder or bowel control, high fever, sudden weight loss.  Total bed rest is not a good idea for most types of back pain because some movement (even just brief, leisurely walks) is needed to stimulate blood flow and healing. If you are in a lot of pain, wait two to three days before resuming normal activities.  If your back pain is exercise related, then you may be working out too aggressively or with bad form — consult with a personal trainer. If you think your back pain is work related, then talk to your boss about switching activities or altering your work station —  such as a more supportive chair or a cushioned mat for underneath your feet. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all acute (occurring in the last 24 – 48 hours) musculoskeletal injuries, including back pain. Cold therapy should be applied to the most painful part of your back in order to reduce the inflammation and numb the pain. Ice should be applied for 10 – 15 minutes every hour, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside.  Compressing the ice against your back with a stretchy bandage or elastic support will also help control the inflammation. Always wrap ice or frozen gel packs in a thin towel in order to prevent frostbite on your skin.  If you don't have any ice or gel packs, then use a frozen bag of veggies from your freezer....

TL;DR in English: Wait and see. Apply something cold to your back. Take a warm bath. Consider taking over-the-counter drugs. Use a foam roller. Use a tennis or lacrosse ball. Perform back exercises. Consider changing your sleeping environment. Be sure to use proper lifting techniques.

One of the best things you can do after a breakup in order to move on is to make time for the people that are important to you. Reconnecting with people that you care about can provide you with support and encouragement. They can also help you deal with the fact that your ex seems fins after the breakup.  Make time to just hang out with each other. You don’t have to have plans to do anything or go anywhere. You can just enjoy each other’s presence. When your friends and family invite you places accept their invitation. You could have a good time with them and meet new people. Breaking up is a difficult process, and you may be feeling upset about everything that has happened. To help make yourself feel more positive, change your thinking about the breakup. Take the breakup as an opportunity for new growth and experiences. Use it to learn something new about yourself that you can apply to future relationships.  For example, think about why the relationship ended. Take those problems, and improve on them in your next relationship. Journaling can help you deal with an ex who seems fine after your breakup in a number of ways. Journaling is a way to express your feelings, organize your thoughts, and set post-relationship goals for yourself.  Make regular entries in your journal about how you feel about the breakup and how you feel about your ex. Include goals and action steps for moving on after the breakup in your journal. For example, you might write, “One of my goals is to save the money I was spending on date night.” A breakup can cause depression, grief, and anxiety, but you can get help to ensure that you heal in a healthy and supported way. Reach out to a mental health professional who can coach you during this time.   The therapist may ask details about your relationship, such as the state of the relationship before breaking up, how long you had been together, and whether the breakup was mutual or not. You can also reach out to friends and family members during this time. No matter how the relationship...

Research each agency that you are interested in to ensure that they have signed successful petite models. Many agencies let aspiring models know who they have signed in the past, though you can also search for the agency name online to find out more. Focusing on agencies that are interested in petite models will heighten your chances of finding work. Open calls are times when new models can visit a modeling agency to find out if anyone is interested in representing them. This is a good way to find potential representation if you do not yet have an agent. You can look for local calls, or choose to travel to attend an open call. Though it depends on the agency’s requirements, typically you will need to bring a headshot, comp card, and a swim suit.  Open calls usually attract a lot of other aspiring models. Don’t be disappointed if nothing comes from your first few open calls. Make sure to dress nicely, be on time, be able to accept criticism, and have a working phone number if the agency decides to call you back. Find out if there is something you can change to get accepted in the future. Some agencies may not want to answer questions, so do not push your questions if the agency is not willing to comply. Send an email or thank you letter to the agent. Even if you are rejected, it is a good idea to send an email thanking the agent for taking his or her time to meet with you. The note or email should be short and thank them for their time. You never know when you will encounter this person in the future, so it is good to leave the person with a pleasant memory of you. Sign with the agent that seems most interested in you and offers the most opportunities. Make sure the agency can further your career before you commit to it. This may mean looking up reviews for the agency on the internet, asking others in the industry, and seeing if they have any successful clients. Be sure to review the contract carefully before signing it. Don’t make a commitment that you can’t stick with. Go-sees are meetings with professionals...

Place the citation directly after the information you wish to cite, inside any punctuation. Put a space between the author's name and the date, but don't use a comma.  For example: (Schmidt 1935). If you don't know the name of the author, use the name of the organization that published the text or a shortened version of the title in place of the author's name. For example: (Society for Psychical Research 1935) or (“Mystery of a Talking Wombat” 1935).  Don't include the author's name in parentheses if you've already mentioned it in the sentence with the citation. Instead, simply give the date (and page numbers, if applicable). For example: “John Schmidt (1935, 217-218) claimed that a talking wombat inhabited the walls of his Illinois farmhouse for over a decade.” If the work you're citing has 2 to 3 authors, place all their last names in parentheses before the date of publication. Put commas between the authors' names, but not between the final author's name and the date. List the authors in the order in which they're given in the publication. For example: (Schmidt, Bjorn, and Prince 1941). ” when citing 4 or more authors. If the publication you're citing has 4 or more authors, include only the surname of the first author listed, followed by et al. and the date. Don't use any commas. For example: (Schmidt et al. 1937). It can get confusing if you're citing several authors who share surnames. Keep the distinction clear by placing the first initial of each author before their name in the citation. For example: (J. Schmidt 1935), (V. Schmidt 1972). If you're citing more than 1 text by the same author published in the same year, you will need to make a clear distinction between each publication. Do this by assigning lowercase letters to each publication and placing them after the date in your citations.  For example: (Schmidt 1935a), (Schmidt 1935b). Before assigning letters, alphabetize these sources by title (which is also how they will be listed in your bibliography). Assign the letters in order so that the...

Your style choices don't have to end with the clothes you wear. Consider your purse, earrings, jewelry, bracelets, and more when putting your outfit together. This is a great chance to be creative - if you're going for the classic Kylie black-and-white look, almost any color of accessory will go with your outfit. The Jenner sisters especially like oversize black leather purses and handbags. However, at red carpet events, they've been known to bring along small, swanky pocketbooks that match the color of their dress. Good makeup can be the cherry on top of a perfect outfit. It's rare to see either of the Jenner sisters overly-made-up, so keep the mantra "less is more" in mind when applying your own makeup. Kylie likes to go for a minimally-made up with light highlights around the eyes and some shiny lipgloss. Occasionally, she'll go bold with some bright red or crimson lipstick - if you want to go for the 1940s pinup look, go for it! When in doubt, skimp on the makeup when applying it and bring it with you - you can always put more on later! Not surprisingly, Kylie and Kendall's biggest fashion role-models are their sisters! Kourtney, Kim & Khloe are international fashion icons in their own right - watch "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" or any of its spin offs for plenty of fashion ideas from the Jenner and Kardashian sisters! Warning - "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" began airing in 2007. Fashion trends have changed substantially since then - in the sisters' own words, fashion choices in the early episodes were not always good ones. "Kylie would wear zebra-print leggings with bright blue shorts and a bright blue colored shirt and Converse that went up to [her knees]," says Kendall of Kylie's early wardrobe. Kylie and Kendall may be fashion icons at 16 and 17 respectively, but that doesn't mean their sense of style should overrule your own fashion instincts. For a truly unforgettable look, inject your own creativity into your outfits. Experiment with clothing and accessories that the sisters  wouldn't ...

TL;DR in English: Accessorize! Make yourself up! Draw inspiration from Kylie's muses. Add your own flavor.

Knowing your total debt payments per month is important.  But creditors like to look at the ratio of your total debt service to your total income in order to evaluate your creditworthiness.  This is called the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR).  The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) measures the percentage of net income used for debt service coverage.  It is calculated by dividing the total net income by the total debt service, using the equation DSCR = total net income / total debt service.  Creditors look at this information to assess a debtor’s ability to pay current or new loans.  They want to be sure that the borrower has enough operating income to cover current debt plus enough left over to service new loans.    The higher the ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its debt obligations on time. Use this formula: net income / total debt service.  For example, suppose a rental company generates a net income of $500,000 and has a debt service of $440,000.  The debt service represents the total annual mortgage payments on the properties the company owns.  The DSCR is calculated with the equation $500,000 / $440,000 = 1.14. The rental company generates 14 percent more income than they need to service their debts. The minimum DSCR a lender may demand varies depending on the performance of the economy.  Lenders may overlook lower DSCRs when the economy is growing.   However, such lack of scrutiny leaves lenders at risk for large numbers of borrowers defaulting on loans for which they shouldn’t have qualified.  If the DSCR is greater than 1, then the company or individual has enough cash to service the debt. If the DSCR is less than 1, then there is not sufficient cash to service the debt.  For example, a DSCR of .87 means that the individual or business only has enough cash to pay 87 percent of the interest and principal on debt for that year.  The borrower would have to draw from savings or borrow more to service the debt. Some creditors may require debtors to keep their DSCR above a minimum...

TL;DR in English: Learn about the debt service coverage ratio. Calculate the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR). Analyze the DSCR.

There are no definitively “good” or “bad” readings in terms of mileage, as different bikes are built with different specs for different purposes. What’s more important is to compare the bike’s outward appearance to its recorded mileage. If they don’t seem to line up, you may be better off exploring other options.  Try not to overanalyze. If it comes down to a toss-up between two bikes of the exact same model and one has $15,000-20,000 fewer miles on it, it’s clearly the better deal.  Unless it’s obviously in bad shape, don’t be put off by a motorcycle with 30,000-50,000 miles on the engine. When properly cared for, many bikes have maximum mileages as high as some cars, so there’s a good chance that it still has plenty of road time left in it. Look the bike over top to bottom and front to back, paying particular attention to the main components like the frame, headstock, fenders, side covers, and windshield. A little bit of wear and tear isn’t uncommon on older bikes, but for the most part, all of the chrome and paint should be clean, shiny, and free of rust, and there should be no dents, dings, scratches, or other visible signs of damage.  Bring a flashlight along with you in case you’re forced to perform your inspection in low light. A multimeter can also come in handy for testing the voltage output of older bikes with batteries that haven’t been changed in a while.  Be wary of bikes that look like they haven’t been washed in a while. A little dust and dirt may not seem like a big deal, but it could point to neglect elsewhere. Straddle the seat and bounce up and down gently. The forks, or the pronged pieces connecting the front wheel to the frame, should absorb the motion and return to their original position quickly and quietly. By contrast, the rear shocks should hold firm, preventing the back of the bike from dipping too much.  Grinding, squeaking, and poor impact absorption, along with obvious visible damage like scrapes, cracks, dings, and rust, are all evidence of a suspension system that’s taken a lot...

TL;DR in English: Note the number of miles on the odometer. Take stock of the bike’s general appearance. Climb on the motorcycle to try out the suspension. Examine the tires for excessive or uneven wear. Inspect the seats and other hard-wearing areas to look for deterioration. Check the fuel and oil tanks for rust or sediment. Remove the seat to confirm that the internal wiring is in good shape. Test the voltage of the battery and look for a reading between 10.5 and 12. Take the bike out for a test ride. Talk to a local dealership about scheduling a detailed inspection.

Discuss and agree on an amount of time per day or week that you won’t go over when playing the game, or any video game, if your parents are concerned about how the content affects you based on how much you play. Let them know that if you get the game, you’ll stick to this time limit. Show them that you can play games in moderation. Promise all A’s or B’s on your next report card, or a similar goal for your grades, if they will get you the game. Agree on certain chores you will do every week or month in exchange for being able to get the game. You can say, “I’ll take out the trash and load the dishwasher every day, and vacuum every week, if I can have the game,” or something similar that you and your parents can agree on. Tell them you will not play on school nights, you will not play until you finish ALL your homework, and you will keep your grades up. Rent the game from a library, video store, Redbox, or invite a friend over who has the game. Tell your parents they can watch you play the game for a certain amount of time. If they are okay with what they see, they let you buy it; if they’re not okay with it, you will agree on a time when you can rent it and ask them again. You can also show them screenshots of the game online; they might be convinced by them alone. Discuss and agree with your parents on a location of the house that you will always play the game if they let you get it. Letting them keep an eye on you in exchange for getting the game can be worth it, because they will likely stop paying attention after a time and let you play in peace. Let your parents know they can use whatever parental controls are available on the device you play on, as long as you can have the game. They may be able to restrict access to the internet, the ability to make purchases, or even control how long you play and what friends you play with. Consider that it could be worth it to sacrifice a small amount of your freedom in order to get the game you want. You might also impress your parents by being upfront about these...

If you haven’t already, discuss your insomnia with a doctor to make sure there is no treatable medical reason for your poor sleep. There is a long list of conditions that can cause symptoms that mimic insomnia, from anxiety and depression, to hyperthyroidism, Lyme disease, and heart conditions.  Your insomnia could be caused by obstructive sleep apnea, a common condition in people who snore. This condition occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat are relaxing so much that your airway narrows for 10-20 seconds, preventing you briefly from getting air. Your brain will wake you so you can get more air, over and over again throughout the night causing disrupted sleep.  Go over your medications with your doctor, as some may interfere with your sleep. This includes mentioning anything herbal, alternative, or over the counter that you might be taking.  Be sure to tell your doctor if you have any pain that is preventing you from sleeping. Your doctor may recommend cognitive behavioural therapy, completing sleep journals, or relaxation training to sort out your sleep. Though you may be tempted to take a quick nap during the day, and many people can do so effectively, napping may be counterproductive for the insomnia sufferer.  If you must nap, maximize it at 30 minutes and don’t nap after 3 pm. Stick to as regular a sleep schedule as possible, waking and going to bed at the same time each day, even on weekends. Sleep experts agree that your bed should be used only for sleep and sexual intimacy so keep the computers and TV out of your bedroom.  Have black-out curtains to keep your room dark at night. Keep your bedroom cool. Being too warm prevents you from falling soundly asleep. Studies have shown that wearing a cooling cap at night reduces time to fall asleep and increases length of sleep.  Use a white noise machine or fan to drown out inconsistent environmental noises and create a comforting atmosphere. Both supplements are touted as facilitating sleep. Just be sure to not take them too early before bed...

TL;DR in English: See a doctor. Avoid or limit naps. Make your bedroom sleep friendly. Try melatonin or valerian root at night. Learn to cope with the stress that causes insomnia. Go for acupuncture.

You can use tap water or filtered water if you prefer. Measure out the water and add it to the pan. Then, turn the heat up to medium-high and bring the water to a boil. Once the water has been absorbed, turn off the heat. Leave the lid on the pot and set a timer for 10 minutes. The bulgur will be ready to eat after the time is up.  The bulgur will be very hot once it finishes cooking. If you want it chilled, place it into the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours or longer. Bulgur will keep well in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

TL;DR in English: Bring 1 1⁄3  c (320 mL) of water to boil in a sauce pan. Let the bulgur sit for 10 minutes with the cover on before serving it.

A display shelf may be the perfect solution for general music lovers and collectors who want to show off their lot. Look for shelves with long, horizontal rows and short columns about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) taller than your largest album size, allowing you to store more records. For large collections, invest in blank or pre-labeled record dividers to make things easier to sort and navigate. If you’re tight on space, plan on travelling, or want to store your records for a long time without using them, try purchasing some storage boxes. For quick, cheap solutions, wooden crates and plastic tubs work great. For something safer but more expensive, look for archival plastic storage tubs and mobile vinyl boxes. Look for square containers that are taller than your largest record by about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm). When records are stacked on top of each other, the weight distribution will cause lower-level records to warp over time. To prevent this, store your records vertically, keeping weight off the discs. Do not place heavy objects on top of the records. To prevent dust exposure, store your records with the open edge facing in. When dealing with vinyl, the best protection often comes from simply keeping your records sealed and covered. When not in use, make sure your records are inside their cases, away from the air and elements. To avoid gathering dust, do not leave a disc on your record player for long periods of time.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a display shelf for easy access to your records. Purchase a storage box to archive your vinyls. Store your records vertically. Minimize your records’ air exposure.

A bad boss is one who is intentionally mean or unethical and is not receptive to dealing with you in an honest and open way. A bad relationship is an inability to communicate or work together to achieve mutually-beneficial goals. When you approach your situation with your boss, you should focus on the relationship instead of the person. This will help you keep your cool and to find a productive way to address the situation. Before you go and blame your boss for all of the problems in your relationship, you should ask yourself whether or not there are aspects of your own performance that can be improved. You may feel like you're acting perfectly, but you should make sure that you're actually meeting the goals you were supposed to meet, pulling your weight with projects, and communicating effectively. Ask yourself if there's anything you can do to improve your own behavior, and if that could be leading to some of the problems you're having with your boss. Of course, maybe your boss really is completely unreasonable and there's nothing you can do to improve how he or she treats you. But it's better to have your bases covered, just in case. A healthy dose of humor can help you approach your relationship with your boss and to not take the whole thing too seriously. Though there may not be anything funny about workplace conflict, you have to take a step back and remind yourself that, at the end of the day, your work is not your whole life and that you have plenty of meaningful relationships and outside interests apart from the workplace that give your life meaning. The next time your boss frustrates or just plain annoys you, learn to laugh about it, brush it off, and not to take it so darn seriously all the time. Of course, if your boss is downright offensive, discriminatory, or acting ridiculously out of line, then there's nothing funny about it. But learning to laugh off some of the run-of-the-mill everyday annoyances can help you improve your attitude about your relationship. Though you may be tempted to slander...

Play games to pass the time with family. Have a fashion show with friends. Do arts and crafts to get in touch with your creative side. Play with your pet to give them some exercise. Read a good book to make the time pass on your own. Do some writing for self-reflection. Talk to your friends and family.

Make sure that the stitches you make match the boxes on your pattern. It may be helpful to cross off rows as you complete them, in order to not lose track of where you are. You can just tie off the yarn at the end of your last row but there are a variety of stitches you could use to end your piece but a simple blanket stitch will do just fine. If you just want to tie off your project, cut your yarn off a few inches after your last stitch while your hook is still in the last loops. Pull the end through the loops and tie it into a knot. Then weave the end of the yarn into the last line of stitches with a yarn needle, hiding the end of the yarn from view. Stitch together any separate pieces, if your project has multiple parts and trim any stray ends of yarn. Remember that your tapestry crochet project may need special care if laundered, as each yarn requires specific handling.

TL;DR in English: Crochet the rest of your pattern, switching between colors as your pattern dictates. Fasten off the edge of your project with a simple or decorative border. Enjoy your finished product!

Waivers are available only for certain people, depending on why you were found ineligible. You should read your denial letter, which will tell you if you are eligible to apply for a waiver. Generally, waivers are available for most grounds of inadmissibility for nonimmigrant visa applicants. Your denial letter will tell you the precise steps you need to take in order to apply for a waiver. Take out your copy and read it. If you have questions, you can call the number on the letter. If you have questions, contact the consular officer at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy where you applied. Some applicants for a nonimmigrant visa will have to complete Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility. You can download the form and its instructions from the USCIS website.  Once you complete the application, you should make a copy for your records. You must pay a $585 filing fee. Make your check or money order payable to “U.S. Department of Homeland Security.” Don’t use other abbreviations. Since fees are subject to change, you should call 1-800-375-5283 to check the current fee. Most people requesting a waiver for a nonimmigrant visa will not complete Form I-601. Instead, they will need to draft a letter explaining their need to travel to the U.S. The letter should include the following:  dates of arrival and departure how many times you intend to enter the U.S. the facts surrounding the reason you were denied a visa You might submit letters from references who can attest to your good character or reputation. For example, you might seek letters from the following people, which you can include with your letter:  past and present employer colleagues other people who know you You may need to provide the consulate with additional documents, depending on your situation. For example, you might have to provide the following:  certified copies of your criminal record (if you were denied on grounds of criminal inadmissibility) a psychological evaluation, if appropriate evidence of rehabilitation, e.g., proof of...

TL;DR in English: Identify if a waiver is available. Follow the instructions in your denial letter. Complete an application. Write a letter. Obtain character reference letters. Gather other documents. Wait for the results.

Identify the foods you don't want to or should not be eating for nutritional, diet, health, religious, or other reasons but you're indulging in anyway. Think about why they are appealing to you – is there some taste or attribute that you get from those foods that you don’t have in your diet? Some examples that commonly apply include:  Fast food on a regular basis, such as fries, burgers, hot dogs, fried anything, etc. Pastries, cakes, cookies, doughnuts, and other baked goods. Sugary breakfast cereals. Fat-laden dishes. Chocolate and candies. Foods that bring on a headache or migraine, hives, rashes, or a general feeling of unwellness (this does not refer to foods that result in severe, life-threatening allergic reactions – you'll be more than aware that you can't indulge in those). Foods that seem to impact your complexion or your energy levels poorly. Foods that are not supposed be eaten because of your faith-based or other beliefs, such as meat, beef, ham, pork, unfiltered drinking water, etc. Foods that leave you feeling guilty or remorseful for eating. Keep a food journal to see how your life, how you feel, and food are linked. Note what you eat, how you feel, and when you feel cravings. It's important to focus on what causes you to indulge in naughty foods so that you can seek appropriate treatment or remedies. Cravings for food have a number of possible causes, and in some cases it's probably a good idea to discuss the problem with your doctor. In general, the following reasons can trigger food cravings:  Blood sugar levels and insulin levels are not being maintained evenly throughout the day. After spiking, a drop in blood sugar levels can bring on cravings. Convenience – some foods, like highly salted, fatty snacks, or sugary ones, are really easy to find in packages and gobble down without any preparation needed. The saltiness or sweetness makes them even more crave-worthy. Sleep deprivation – whether caused by emotional stress, a medical condition, or some other reason, a lack of sleep can cause...

TL;DR in English: Determine your naughty foods. Find your physical triggers. Think about emotional causes that trigger your cravings.

Figure out what steps are required to solve each math problem you're assigned. Write each step on a fresh segment of a sheet of paper, and methodically solve every problem. Avoid the temptation to work out problems in your head and only write down the answers. Also avoid the temptation to only use a calculator instead of writing down the steps to a problem. In any math more complex than multiplication and division, this frequently leads to students omitting steps and making mistakes which result in wrong answers and a low grade.  For example, say that you're calculating the area of a circle. First, find the radius of the circle and multiply it by 2 to find the diameter. Once you've found the diameter, multiply it by pi (3.14) to find the area. Make sure to write out each of these steps separately! Writing all of your calculations on paper will lead to correct answers and better grades. It will also help you see the progression of steps that it takes to solve a problem. This helps math seem less arbitrary or mysterious. It's best to work your math problems in pencil, not pen, since you can easily erase any mistakes you make when writing with a pencil. Once you're done with the required homework, work a couple of extra problems to become better at whatever math skill you're struggling with. Then, check your answers to find out whether or not you calculated correctly. The back pages of most math books list the answers to some or all of the equations presented in the chapters. If your answers are incorrect, try the problem again, or ask your teacher to explain the part of the problem that you find confusing. Say that you're learning algebra and are struggling to learn to add and multiply negative numbers. Take the time to work 2 or 3 problems that deal with this concept, and you'll start to understand the concept better. Math can feel overly abstract and disconnected from daily life. In many ways, though, it's quite practical. For example, the Pythagorean Theorem can help you think about the relationships between...

TL;DR in English: Write out every step of your problem-solving work on paper. Do extra problems to ensure you understand each concept. Apply math to real-world problems to make it more relatable. Make sure you grasp math basics that you'll need for advanced math. Master a mathematical topic before moving on to the next concept. Identify and improve on your areas of weakness.

Grab your favorite board game or a deck of cards, some candles or flashlights, and play against your friends or family. You could also try charades, 20 Questions, I Spy, or invent your own game. Raid your closet, or ask your parents and friends for permission to look in theirs, and use flashlights as spotlights. Throw on some fancy clothes and shoes, and don’t forget to accessorize! You could even practice a new makeup technique, like contouring. Dress up however you want--after all, you won’t be going outside anytime soon! It could be as simple as laying out some sheets of paper and a box of crayons or markers, painting with watercolors, or making a collage. Use your free time to tap into your creativity, or keep kids entertained with drawing or coloring books. If you’re cooped up indoors, then your dog or cat probably is too! Pull out a couple feathers or a piece of string to play with your kitty, or have a small-scale game of fetch with your dog. When they’re all tired out, let them cuddle up with you and relax. If you’re stranded with no friends and no power, curl up with a flashlights, some candles, and a good book. Choose a new bestseller or a classic you haven’t gotten around to, or re-read one of your old favorites. If bored kids are around, gather them for some story time. Light candles to set a cozy, warm mood. Journal, write a poem, or start drafting a story. Let the rain help you feel introspective and inspired. If you and your loved ones are trapped inside together, make the most of it! Catch up on their lives and tell them what’s been going on in yours. Put away phones and laptops and use this time to reconnect with each other. Tell ghost stories to make little kids shriek, or stick to funny tales for a more lighthearted mood.

Choose an artificial nail kit. Prepare your nails. Follow the directions of your at-home nail kit carefully. Keep in mind the specific needs of your artificial nails.

Drink enough fluids to replace any you through a fever or producing mucus.  Keeping yourself hydrated can help you feel better and minimize the risk of getting more sick. Women need at least nine cups of liquid daily to keep their bodies hydrated, while men need at least 13.  Have water, juice, broth, or non-caffeinated sodas or teas. Stay away from caffeinated drinks including coffee and tea because they can dehydrate you and exacerbate symptoms. Studies now show that the longtime home remedy of chicken soup can help keep a cold at bay and relieve symptoms. Sipping chicken soup may help you nip a cold in the bud or help minimize your symptoms of a cold and flu. Even the steam from the hot soup can help alleviate symptoms.   Eat chicken soup to help relieve the congestion that accompanies cold and the flu. Chicken soup can prevent dehydration.  Be aware that chicken soup acts as an anti-inflammatory to your system. It also temporarily increases movement of mucus through the nose, which in turn limits the amount of time the virus is in the lining of your nose. Alcohol and tobacco products may make a cold or the flu worse. Eliminating or limiting these products may reduce the duration of your symptoms and help prevent complications. Gargling with a simple saline solution may help a sore throat. Although the benefits are temporary, you can use this remedy as often as you need it to combat inflammation.  Dissolve 1/2 a teaspoon of salt in an 8 oz. glass of warm water to make the saline solution. Swish a mouthful of saltwater for 30 seconds at least twice a day. This can also help relieve any inflammation in your throat related to the cold or flu. Mild analgesics can relieve a sore throat. Products such as lozenges and sprays containing eucalyptus or camphor can also relieve any cold- or flu-related congestion.  Use throat lozenges or apply sprays every two to three hours. Avoid chewing or swallowing throat lozenges because they can numb your throat and cause swallowing difficulties. You may have body aches with a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your body hydrated. Sip chicken soup. Avoid alcohol and cigarettes. Soothe your throat with saltwater. Use lozenges or sprays. Take pain medication. Get enough rest.

Before you turn your employees loose in a round of team-building exercises, it's important to establish what the point of each activity is and what you hope to accomplish with it. Activities can (and arguably should) be fun, but they should ultimately serve a purpose and strengthen the bonds between your employees.  Make sure your goals determine the activity you choose. Don't waste time with aimless activities just because they're fun.  Communicate to your staff in advance what the purpose of each activity is. One way to foster stronger communication between coworkers is to use children's building blocks to design small sculptures. This requires observation skills, strong leadership abilities, and group communication.  Break your employees up into small teams (no more than four people per team). Build a small sculpture using children's building blocks. Make sure the sculpture is hidden from the teams. Hand out the necessary building blocks to each team. Choose one instructor from each team (perhaps supervisors or managers) to come up and view the sculpture at the same time. Their remaining team members should remain at their stations, out of view of the sculpture. Each instructor may only view the sculpture for 10 seconds at a time. After 10 seconds they must all return to their groups and direct their team mates on how to complete the sculpture. . A good way to build trust between coworkers is by having one employee lead another. This is an excellent opportunity to pair together people who don't get along or don't trust one another.  Set up an obstacle course using chairs, boxes, cones, and anything else you might have lying around the office - just be sure you don't use any objects that could hurt someone. Split your employees into pairs. Again, focus on pairing together people who might not work well together normally, as this is an opportunity to improve their relationship. Blindfold one person, and instruct him not to talk. Have his partner lead him through the obstacle course by giving verbal...

TL;DR in English: Have a clear focus. Strengthen communication skills. Build trust Develop patience and teamwork. Have employees create a team-building activity.

It may be tempting to start eating high fat meats to gain weight, but eating high-fat protein may lead to other problems, such as high cholesterol. Lean proteins are the best choice for healthy weight gain, so opt for lean proteins instead. Good sources of lean protein include:  Skinless turkey or chicken breast Lean beef Pork loin Light tuna (packed in water) Tofu or tempeh Beans Some fruits and vegetables are higher in fat and calories than others. By choosing higher calorie options, you will have a better chance of gaining weight. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, go for bananas, pineapples, raisins, other dried fruits, peas, corn, potatoes, and squashes. Carbohydrates are a great source of calories, but some choices have higher calories than others. Steer clear of “light” breads and cereals to avoid low-calorie choices. When choosing bread, look for healthy higher calorie breads like 100% whole wheat bread. Other good options include:  Whole grain cereals Granola Bran muffins Whole wheat bagels Whole wheat pasta Brown rice When you're grilling vegetables, meats, or other foods, use a healthy cooking oil to add some fat and calories. Opt for olive, grapeseed, or canola oils over vegetable oil. Olive, grapeseed, and canola oils are higher in calories and also contain more nutrients your body needs to put on weight in a healthy fashion. Try drizzling olive oil over a salad, use canola oil to grease a pan, or replace butter with canola oil in cookie recipes. Coconut milk is a great source of lactose-free fat and calories, so incorporating it into your diet may help you to gain some weight as well. Coconut milk is a good source of healthy fat as well as other nutrients and it is quite versatile, so you can use it in a variety of recipes.  Try making a coconut milk based curry, replace dairy milk with coconut milk in a soup recipe, or add a spoonful of coconut milk to your morning coffee. Coconut milk in it's looser, liquid form is a direct substitute for cow's milk. Coconut milk in it's more solid form...

TL;DR in English: Choose lean proteins for healthy weight gain. Choose higher calorie fruits and vegetables. Eat dense breads and cereals. Cook with oil. Use coconut milk. Snack on nuts. Incorporate hummus into your diet. Indulge in some avocado. Drizzle some honey on your food.

There are three main types of at-home kits for artificial nails:  gel, acrylic, and press-on.  Each has its own advantages and disadvantages to take into consideration when trying to achieve natural-looking, artificial nails.  Gel: Gel manicures most closely resemble your natural nail, and are less damaging to the nail plate. Gel manicures last at least two weeks, depending on maintenance.  They are applied like normal nail polish. Gel manicures require an ultraviolet (UV) light for drying and setting.   Gel nail kits are generally more expensive than the other options, especially if the kit includes a UV light.  Price range: $30-$120.  Acrylic: Acrylic manicures last about two weeks. They look more natural than press-on nails, less natural than gel nails. Prolonged use of acrylic nails can cause damage to your natural nail. Price range: $8-$20.  Press-Ons: Press-on nails are the easiest to apply at home, but only last about one week. They are also the least-natural looking of these options.  Press-on manicures cause minimal damage to your natural nail, and are easier to remove. They are also easy to repair; if a press-on nail falls off, you can easily glue it back into place.  If well-maintained, press-on nails can be reused.  Price range: $5-$10. Proper preparation of your natural nails is crucial; it helps artificial nails to adhere better and look more realistic.  Wash your hands with antibacterial soap to remove any dirt, oils, or lotion. Clean nails with nail polish remover. Acetone-based remover is more effective for acrylic nails, but it is harsher on your naturals nails.   Cut and file your nails. Apply cuticle oil or cream to your cuticles before pushing them back with a cuticle pusher. Buff your nails. Re-clean your hands and nails to remove any dust caused by filing and buffing. Dehydrate your nails using acetone-based remover or a nail dehydrating solution.  This helps nail polish and artificial nails to stay on longer.  Apply a nail base coat over your natural nails to protect them. Each at-home...

The microfiber cloth that may have come with your glasses is ideal for cleaning your lenses, but even this can become dirty over time. Using a cloth that has dust on it will cause your lenses to develop small pits and scratches over time, creating cloudiness. To avoid this, only clean your glasses with a clean, soft cloth. The more dust and grime that is on your lens cleaning cloth, the more damage you will do to your lenses over time. Every time you dry, wipe, or polish your lenses, you will be scraping these particles against your glasses. To keep your lens cloth cleanest, you may want to hold it in a glasses case that you carry with you throughout the day. You might also put this cloth in a plastic baggie or other container and tuck it away in a backpack or satchel. Depending on the cloth your are using, cleaning procedure can vary. A soft cotton piece of fabric can be washed normally, but you should follow the directions that came with your cloth. For cleaning a microfiber cloth, you should:  Separate it with like-fabric items. Add a small amount of liquid detergent to your washing machine. Do not use fabric softener — this remains on the cloth and can leave streaks when using it on lenses. Set your washing machine to cold. Insert your microfiber cloth and like-cloth items into the wash. Air dry or use a dryer on a low/no-heat setting. Over the course of a day your glasses will normally collect dust, dirt, and oil from your face and hands. By cleaning your lenses regularly with glass cleaner or warm water and a drop of dish soap, you can cut down on the overall daily cloudiness you may experience. This will keep dust from settling on the glasses and protect them from harm if they are knocked over. Instead of placing your glasses on your bedside table at night, for instance, place them in their case and then put that on your bedside table. This will also protect your glasses from getting broken or damaged if you knock them over when not in use.

TL;DR in English: Use a clean, soft cloth always. Protect your lens cloth from the elements. Wash your lens cleaning cloth. Clean your lenses regularly. Keep your glasses in a case when you're not wearing them.

There are many car loan payment calculators available for free online. Take advantage of these free services if you don't want to spend the time calculating your payments yourself. Search "Car loan payment calculator" and you will be provided with many options. If you still want to work it out by hand, continue to the next step. Start by converting your APR to a decimal by dividing it by 100. For example, if your APR is stated at 8.4%, 8.4/100 = 0.084. Next, find your monthly percentage rate by dividing your APR decimal by 12. So, 0.084/12 = 0.007. This is your monthly percentage rate expressed as a decimal. If, for example, your principal were $20,000 (if you borrowed $20,000 to buy your car), you would multiply this by 0.007 (from the previous step) and get 140. The formula is as follows: Monthly Payment  = (Interest rate due on each payment  x  principal)/ (1  –  (1  +  Interest rate due on each payment)^  -(Number of payments)) The top part of the equation (interest rate due on each payment x principal) is your number from the previous step. The rest can be calculated using a simple calculator.  The "^" indicates that the figure (-(Number of Payments)) is an exponent to the figure (1 + Interest rate due on each payment). On a calculator, this is entered by calculating 1 + interest rate due on each payment, hitting the button x^y, and then entering the number of payments. Keep in mind that the number of payments is made negative here (multiplied by negative one). In our example, the calculation would go as follows (assuming a loan duration of 5 years or 60 months):  Monthly Payment = (0.007 x $20000)/(1-(1+ 0.007)^-60 Monthly payment = $140/(1-(1.007)^-60) Monthly payment = $140/(1-0.658) Monthly payment = $140/0.342 Monthly payment = $409.36 (this number may be off by a few cents due to rounding) This is done by simply dividing your principal amount by the duration of your loan in months. For our example, this would be $20,000/60 months = $333.33/month In our example, this would be $409.36 - $333.33. This...

TL;DR in English: Save time by using an online calculator. Find your interest rate due on each payment. Multiply your monthly percentage rate times your principal. Input this number into the monthly payment formula. Calculate the amount of principal paid each month. Subtract your principal paid each month from your monthly payment.

You may not like to think about it, but your bathroom towel is one of the most bacteria-ridden items in your home.  Bacteria grows on organic material and in damp places, making your bathroom towel a perfect breeding ground for the bacteria it collects from your skin.  Spreading this bacteria can lead to skin infections and illness.  Follow these steps to take care of your towels:  Never share towels with other members of the household. Wash towels at least once per week or every 3-4 uses.  If you are showering after athletics or a physically demanding job, wash them more often. Wash towels at high heat. Use bleach when possible to kill bacteria. Replace towels as soon as they begin to fade or smell musty. Squeeze the water out of your hair before stepping out of the shower.  Avoid rubbing a towel on your hair, which could damage it and cause frizziness.  Consider a separate towel for your hair.  It is best to use a microfiber towel, or even a t-shirt.  For long hair you can roll it into a turban.  Hold your head upside down. Place the long side of the towel along the base of your head at the hairline. Close the towel around your hair and gather it at the top of your forehead. Twist the towel until it has gathered all of your hair and shortened the length of the towel, usually two or three turns. Take this tail you have created over the top of your head and tuck the tail into the edge of the towel at the base of your head. Aggressively rubbing your body with a towel can cause friction and irritation to your skin.  Dry skin can flake off and patches of dry skin can spread.  Instead, pat or blot your skin gently.  Start at the top of your body and work your way down to your toes. Harsh tap water can be damaging to the skin.  The metals in the water attach to free radicals, which attack the collagen in our skin.  This can be the cause of lines in your face and clogged pores.  Make sure that you absorb as much as possible before you hang your towel up to dry.  If you are concerned about hard water, you my also...

TL;DR in English: Keep a clean towel handy. Dry your hair. Pat your skin dry. Make sure you are completely dry. Apply ointment or cream to lock in the moisture which was absorbed during your shower.

Glazing is best done on antique looking pieces with nicks, carving or other details, rather than flat, modern pieces. Sanding will even out the piece of furniture and prep it for painting. However, it can also remove some of the distressed portions that give the glazing character. If you do plan to sand, use 120-grit sandpaper. You don’t want the sandpaper to be too coarse. This will create a durable base coat for the furniture. You can purchase primer in a spray can or in liquid, paint-like form. You will want to choose white, ivory, tan, blue or another light color. The glaze will always be darker, so you will need to ensure it will show up on your piece of furniture.  You can use paint or spray paint from your local hardware store. Keep in mind that the more you plan to use the piece of furniture, the more coats of primer and paint you should use. Allow the paint to cure overnight after you apply the last coat. There are two ways to do this: ask the hardware store to mix it with your favorite paint color or do it yourself. Choose a dark color, such as black, brown, dark red or dark blue, to color your glaze.  To mix the glaze yourself, grab a yogurt container or plastic cup. Pour one cup of opaque glaze into the cup. Then, add several squirts or one tablespoon of your dark paint. Mix with a chopstick or paint stirrer. Add more paint as needed to achieve a dark color. This is the color that will remain in the molding or crevices on your furniture. Apply it to one leg or portion of the furniture. Work in no more than one-foot sections at a time, so that you can complete the section before the glaze dries.  The advantage of using glaze instead of paint is that glaze takes longer to dry than paint, so you can create the look you want without risk of it drying before you perfect it. You have about 10 to 20 minutes to work on one area.  Work the glaze into the crevices and carving. Spend plenty of time getting it into these areas, because that is where the glaze will remain when you wipe the rest of it off the...

TL;DR in English: Choose your piece of furniture. Decide if you want to sand the piece or not. Prime the piece of furniture before you paint. Paint the furniture a light color. Mix a cup of glaze. Dip a foam paintbrush into the glaze. Wipe the glaze off with a damp discarded rag or baby wipes. Continue glazing the furniture in one-foot areas. Spray a clear poly coat sealer to seal in the glaze.

This will depend on whether your TV is a standard-definition or high-definition TV. Video input ports are typically located on the back of the TV, but may also be located on one of the sides.  Standard-definition TVs usually have composite video or S-video ports. The display will not be as sharp as through your PC's regular monitor, however.     High-definition TVs may have VGA, DVI or HDMI ports. VGA connections provide an analog signal, while DVI and HDMI connections provide a digital signal of higher quality.    If you have multiple options (e.g. VGA, S-video and HDMI), try to connect using the highest quality connection. HDMI is the standard for newer laptops and HDTVs, and will result in the best quality and least amount of work adjusting settings.  If your laptop's output port is the same kind as your TV's input port, get a cable with the same kind of connector on each end.     If your laptop's output port and your TV's input port are different, you'll need an adapter cable. Adapters are available to convert DVI to HDMI or VGA to composite video. You can also get an adapter cable to connect your computer's USB port to your TV's HDMI port if your laptop has no HDMI port. Converters, especially analog ones, typically result in a loss of quality, so avoid them if possible.     Branded HDMI cables are often marked up to be very expensive, but virtually any HDMI cable is more than capable of sending the signals to the TV with no loss of quality. Some computers and high-definition TVs can connect to the TV's audio and video with a single cable, while most require separate audio and video cables.  If you connect your laptop to your TV via HDMI, you will not need a separate audio cable as HDMI carries audio signal as well as video signal. All other connection types will require a separate audio cable.     Your laptop's audio output is a 3.5-mm jack marked with a headset icon. You can connect an audio cable from here to your TV's audio input if it has one or to external speakers if it doesn't.     When...

No matter how you spin it, you are going to look like the bad guy if you break up with someone on Valentine's Day. Think about why, of all days, you want to break up on Valentine's Day, knowing that this will likely cause the breakup to be extra painful and may even ruin the holiday for your significant other in the future. Is this the precise reason why you want to break up on Valentine's Day — because it will cause your partner the most pain? Or have you realized, through your preparations for the holiday, that you don't really feel the way you would want to feel about your partner on such a romantic day? Before moving forward, really think about why you want to break up on Valentine's Day and what the consequences might be.   Try to look through any anger or disappointment and think deeply about your motives. Maybe breaking up with your partner on Valentine's will be very hurtful — but is this a move you will regret after some time has passed? Is this action really authentic to your character? Though it's best not to linger in a relationship when you know things aren't going to work out, you may want to break with the person a week or two after the holiday. Or, even better, break up with her before Valentine's Day, so he/she can return presents or cancel any plans he/she may have made for the two of you. If you decide to go ahead with your plan, just know that you are not going to come off looking great by breaking up with someone on Valentine's Day, so be prepared for some backlash. Sometimes relationships just fizzle out. Other times one person cheats or is dishonest. In some cases, people simply aren’t compatible. Considering your reasons for breaking up can help you determine what to say. Some people initiate a Valentine's Day breakup because things didn't turn out perfectly from the moment the day started. Don’t end a good relationship because of one day. Although it may seem like you have a list of reasons, try to look for a common theme between them. For example, if your significant other is...

TL;DR in English: Consider your motivations. Think about why you want to end the relationship. Reflect on your feelings. Write down your main points. Rehearse what you want to say.

Alcohol and caffeine are two of the biggest culprits that deposit toxins in your liver and keep it from functioning properly. Cleanse your liver by reducing your intake of alcohol and caffeinated beverages. Recent research however indicates that decaffeinated coffee may help lower elevated liver enzyme levels. Replace these beverages with non-alcoholic beverages to allow your liver to regenerate, flush itself clean and function properly. Read on to find out what liquids are good for the liver. Detoxify your liver and flush toxins out by drinking at least 2 quarts of water every day. Drinking lots of water will keep you hydrated, which naturally encourages cell regeneration. It will also allow the liver to filter out more toxins and residue, letting it work faster and increasing your energy level. Drink lemon juice in water or tea once a day. Lemon juice stimulates the liver's bile production to help push toxins out. It also prevents the buildup of gallstones and promotes digestion and liver function in the movement of gastric juices. Green tea is rich in catechins, a type of plant antioxidant that boosts liver function and helps reduce fat storage in the liver. Fruits like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries all enhance the health of the liver. These fruits have organic acids that lower sugar blood levels, and will help you to burn fat, decreasing your chances of fatty liver diseases. Fasting is a sure-fire ways to cleanse the liver. Most fasts involve eating only fruits and vegetables, or drinking only fruit and veggie juices, for a certain period of time. There are many different cleanses out there--you have to pick one that is right for your body. You should consider consulting a nutritionist or doctor before you embark upon a fast.

TL;DR in English: Minimize alcohol and caffeine intake. Drink lots of water. Add lemon to your diet. Drink green tea. Drink natural fruit smoothies.  Make your own juice fast.

When you're searching records, you'll need to have the first, middle, and last name of the person, whenever possible. You're likely to have more luck if you also know their date of birth, when and where they died, and the names of their immediate family members.  Since some combinations of first and last names are more common, having the person's middle name will help narrow down your search significantly. If you're not sure of the person's full name, their date of birth, or when they died, try looking in family bibles, baptismal records, or obituaries. You may be able to find the person's death certificate by contacting their local county clerk's office. However, if the person died before the 1930s, they may not have a death certificate. If you'd like to know the location of your ancestor's burial site but you don't know where to start looking, a genealogy database can help. Even if you can't find the exact location of their grave, you may be able to discover where the person lived and died, which can help you narrow down where they're probably buried.  Many of these sites require a fee to use all of their features, although you may be able to sign up for a free trial in some cases. Two of the most popular genealogy websites are https://www.ancestry.com/ and https://www.archives.com/. Once you know the area where the person is buried, you may be able to find their grave online at a virtual cemetery website or headstone database. Even if the cemetery itself doesn't maintain an independent website, a database may include a photograph of their headstone and it's location in the cemetery.  In many cases, volunteers take photos of gravesites and upload them. One of the most popular cemetery databases is https://www.findagrave.com/. You could also check https://billiongraves.com/. There may also be databases which are specific to your region. For example, if you're Dutch, you could visit https://www.dutchgenealogy.nl/online-cemeteries/. There are specific sites dedicated to preserving the locations of servicemen...

TL;DR in English: Gather as much information about the person as you can. Look up the person in genealogy databases. Visit virtual cemetery websites. Browse sites for veterans if the person was a service member.

. One of the easiest things to learn is how to greet others, and it can be a good introduction to the language as well as giving you an essential tool that will open the door to communication with others in Spanish.   Hola (OH-la) means "hello" in Spanish. Even if you know very little Spanish, it's likely you already know and understand this word. There are other initial greetings in Spanish, such as buenos días (booEHN-os DEE-as), which means "good morning," or buenos noches (booEHN-os NO-chehs), which means "good evening." Following the hello, you might next learn "¿Cómo estás?" (KOH-moh  ess-TAHS), which means "How are you?" This might be answered by saying estoy bien (ESS-toy bee-EHN), which means "I'm fine." You also might say mucho gusto (MOO-choh GOOS-toh), which means "nice to meet you." Then learn how to say "my name is": me llamo (meh YAH-moh). Put them together, and you might greet someone in Spanish by saying "Mucho gusto, me llamo Juan," which means "Nice to meet you, my name is John." Find borrowed Spanish words in English. Although you probably don't pronounce them exactly the way a Spanish-speaking person would, there are a number of Spanish words that you probably already know if you are fluent in English.     Making a list of Spanish words that you already know can be a good way to build your Spanish vocabulary, because it gives you a foundation on which to build. For example, there probably are a number of Spanish foods that you already know, such as taco and burrito. There also are a number of words that are the same in Spanish and in English (although they may be spelled or pronounced differently), such as animal and chocolate. One of the things that makes Spanish very different from English is the fact that all objects are gendered. Generally, if a noun ends in an o it is masculine, while if it ends in a it is feminine (although there are some exceptions).  In Spanish, unlike in English, there is no pronoun "it." All nouns have a gender, and even inanimate objects are referred to the...
