Never strike or yell at a puppy if she disobeys you. Bernese Mountain Dog tend to be very mild tempered and obedient but they, like all dogs, will take some time to train. Hitting it will only make the puppy fear you and confuse her — never strike your dog. If you in the middle of a training session and she doesn't fully understand, do not become impatient and scold her. After all, the puppy or dog is only learning.  If you find that you are losing your patience, step away from the dog and try again later. Bernese Mountain Dogs are extremely affectionate and want to please — scolding or punishing may have an extremely detrimental affect on your Bernese. Focus on positive reinforcement instead of punishment. This could be with a tiny tasty treat or just praise as the dog develops. If the dog knows he gets a treat for good behavior, and bad behavior is ignored, then he is likely to reproduce good behavior it was rewarded for.  When you catch your dog or puppy chewing or destroying something he shouldn’t, remove either the dog or the object from the dog and distract him with something it can “destroy” or chew on, like a toy. Then praise him for chewing on the right thing — the toy. Keep a bag of treats in a Ziploc bag in your pocket or in a “fanny” type bag at your waist. This means you will always have a treat handy. You never know when an opportunity to train will pop up during the day! During the first few weeks of training a puppy’s attention span is short, usually less than five minutes. As your puppy gets older and starts to associate training times with pleasant interaction with you, the training time can be increased. You will know the dog's attention span is increasing when the puppy focuses more on the training sessions than on wandering off and playing. You can teach your puppy commands from the moment she arrives home. Keep training sessions short (less than five minutes) and practice three to five times a day.  Your Bernese Mountain Dog should be able to learn a variety of commands. Start with leash...

TL;DR in English: Be patient. Reward good behavior. Keep training sessions short. Start training your dog immediately.

In many places, teachers are never allowed to reprimand their students physically. Teachers should never approach their students romantically or sexually, or make sexually charged comments or jokes. Humiliating or bullying students is not ok.  For example, teachers should not make comments such as, “If you were older, I would date you,” or other remarks that seem to suggest or invite a romantic relationship. Sometimes these comments can seem flattering. However, they are an abuse of the teacher-student relationship. Teachers should not single students out for humiliation or invite other students to mock them. Reprimanding students in this fashion is inappropriate, bullying behavior. While it’s normal for a teacher to impose reasonable consequences or speak sternly to a student, she should not scream, subject a student to a lengthy tirade, or threaten a student with disproportionate punishments. It’s normal to dread a class taught by a bad teacher, but fear or sadness about entering a classroom may be a signal that something more serious is going on. Notice if your feelings about the class are impacting the rest of your life or preventing you from enjoying your normal activities. It’s one thing not to love math class; it’s another to have your whole week overshadowed by it. Note down the date and, if possible, exact words or actions, or record it with your phone. This kind of information will be more helpful than general statements such as, “She always picks on one kid,” or “He often talks about girls and dating in a weird way.” Notice what other students or teachers witnessed the incident. Inappropriate or abusive behavior needs to be reported. Start by discussing it with your parents. You may ask them to meet with the principal, head-teacher, department head, or other appropriate authority. Be prepared to submit your concerns in writing. If these conversations don’t have an effect, talk to those higher up: the superintendent, the school board, or the local education authority, for example.  Physical or...

TL;DR in English: Recognize inappropriate or abusive behavior. Pay attention to your own reactions. Take notes and document inappropriate behavior. Take it up with your parents and the higher authorities. Request to be switched out of the class.

Unless the bridal shower is a surprise, you should get the bride’s input on who she wants to attend. Write a list of everyone she wants to invite, and ask for the guest’s addresses so you can send them invitations, as well. Remind the bride that anyone invited to the shower should also be invited to the wedding. Typically, the hostess pays for the bridal shower. If you aren’t sure you can manage tackling the cost on your own, consider asking a few of the bride’s close friends or family members to co-host the shower with you. The cost of the shower can be split evenly between the hostesses.  You don’t need to shell out a ton of cash to have a nice shower. Consider splurging on a beautiful location and keeping decorations and refreshments to a minimum. Alternately, host the party in someone’s home to save money and purchase cute cupcakes and simple floral arrangements for a fancy feel. Typically, bridal showers are held on the weekend. Speak to the bride well in advance to find a date and time that works well for her. She’ll be busy planning the wedding and may have other engagements, like cake tastings or dress fittings, to work around. Opt for a mid-afternoon shower if you want to avoid serving a full meal. If possible, give the bride a choice of several locations and let her decide which she likes best. For example, you could offer to host the party at your home, at a local restaurant, or at an outdoor event venue in town. Once she’s selected a location, book the venue, if applicable. Speak to the bride about what she envisions for the shower. Oftentimes, the wedding colors will work for the shower as well. Or, you can choose a theme based on the bride’s interests or plans for the marriage.  For instance, if the duo plans to honeymoon in the Caribbean, go for a Caribbean-themed bridal shower. Decorate with seashells and tropical flowers, play reggae music, and serve island cocktails. Alternatively, if the wedding has a roaring 20s theme, decorate the invitations and space with feathers and bling, play 1920s...

TL;DR in English: Speak to the bride about the guest list. Determine the budget. Select a date and time. Choose a location or book a venue. Choose a theme for the shower that matches the wedding theme or colors. Send out invitations 1 month before the event.

If you feel like you're not the most attractive, you may not have the confidence to ask a girl out directly. In that case, you can go about it in a more roundabout way, such as making an indirect suggestion that she go out with you. For example, you can ask her what she's doing over the weekend. When she responds, you can say, "That sounds fun. I'm going to see this new art exhibit that's supposed to be really cool. Maybe you'd like to see it, too?" One way to make it seem like you're not asking is to first ask for a recommendation of a restaurant or some other fun thing in the area. Once she responds, you can suggest that you go together, which makes it seem like her idea. For example, you could say, "Do you know this area well? I don't get over here much. Know any good Mexican restaurants over here?" When she responds with a name, say, "Oh, that sounds good. Want to show me the ropes there?" You can also try the opposite approach, where you talk about a fun or great place in the area. She may respond that it sounds interesting, and then you can suggest that you try it out together. You might say, "I've heard that place across the street has the best burgers." If she says, "Really? I love a good burger." You could say, "Want to try it out with me?" Another option is to just be direct. You may think you need to hide behind flirtatious questions, but really, most women appreciate when you're at least somewhat direct with what you want. Therefore, it never hurts to just ask, as the worst she can say is "no." For instance, if you've been talking for awhile, you could say, "You know, you're fun to talk to. How would you like to continue this conversation over dinner?"

TL;DR in English: Make a suggestion. Make it seem like her idea. Try your own suggestion. Just be yourself.

When you kick a direct free kick, your opponents have to be at least ten yards away from you. When the referee gives you the okay to kick, the players in the opposing wall will start to inch towards you to get in position to block your shot. Have two of your teammates stand on either side of the wall to keep it from advancing. The opposing team will think twice about over-committing to your shot if there’s two people on either side of them that could get the ball. The opposing keeper might expect you to take your time to plan out your direct kick. If you immediately take the shot right when the referee blows the whistle, the goalie might not be prepared to react to it. This tactic works best for shorter direct free kicks and penalty kicks. If you have to kick from far away, the keeper will have more time to react.  A straight kick works best for this move as you want the ball to reach the net as quickly as possible.  You can also watch footage of the opposing keeper in previous games. See what kind of shots they have difficulty defending.

TL;DR in English:

Perhaps a former client was very pleased with your work and would be willing to make a call to the decision maker for your current bid. You could also ask a former client to post a review on such online sites as Angie's List. Your bid should include these references, particularly if they are for similar work. If you are writing a bid proposal in response to a Request for Proposal, be sure to answer all questions and content requirements set forth in the document. In addition to references, most proposals include an executive summary, a documented explanation of work entailed in the bid proposal and other contractual information that makes it more specific than just a bid.  For example, your executive summary for the windows project could state "Windows in a Day, Inc. has been selling and installing top quality windows in both commercial and residential properties for the past 20 years. All work is guaranteed to last for 10 years." The work section could state "Install 20 windows, part number WI2379,  at 100 Main St, Anytown, MA. Remove and dispose of current windows. Repair all rotted wood along the window frames." Keep track of bids that were won in the past and look for trends. Perhaps you won more with small vs. large businesses, the bid amounts were relatively small, or they were long vs. short term projects. Also find out who you are losing to and the reasons why.

TL;DR in English: Ask former clients to recommend you. Follow all directions and requirements. Analyze successes and failures.

Reach into the compression sock with one hand and grab the toe of the sock. Then use your hands to turn the upper half of the compression sock inside out. Once you have the compression sock turned inside out, gently place your foot in the toe of the sock. Then slide the stocking up over your heel. Make sure the top of the stocking remains inside out. Once your heel is securely inside the sock, gently slide the sock up your leg. Do this as slowly and gently as possible to prevent tearing holes in the stocking or stretching it out. Pulling on the top of a compression sock may cause the sock to rip. Never attempt to put on compression socks by pulling them on by the top of the sock. This can also cause unwanted stretching of the fabric. If you have trouble sliding the compression sock up or down your leg, try wearing a pair of rubber gloves. The gloves can help create some resistance, which will make putting compression socks on or taking them off a bit easier. When it’s time to take off your compression sock, fold it down gently until it reaches the top of the ankle. Then insert your finger or thumb inside the back of the stocking on your heel. Use your finger or thumb to pop the stocking off your heel and then slide the rest of the stocking off your foot.

TL;DR in English: Turn the upper half of the sock inside out. Place your foot in the sock. Slide the sock up your leg. Do not pull on the top of the sock. Use gloves to help you. Take the sock off by folding it down.

By making a list of your goals, whether it simply be losing five pounds or being able to run a mile under a certain time, having your goals written out may help you stick to them long-term.  Write your goals down, and keep them in plain sight so you are reminded about what all your hard work is going toward each day. Be as specific as possible. Instead of just saying "lose weight," say "lose X pounds by December." Make sure your goals are realistic and timely.  You may need to make multiple goals until you reach a larger, more long-term goal.  Keep track of your progress towards your goals in a journal or a sheet of paper you tack to the fridge.  Seeing how far you've come may help keep you motivated and working harder to achieve your long-term goals. By decreasing the amount calories you eat each day may help you lose weight and reduce your total amount of body fat.  The prescribed calorie deficit ranges from 500–750 each day.  This amount will be different for everyone based on how many calories you are currently eating and how fast you want to reach your weight goals.  It's not wise to cut too many calories or eat less than about 1,200 calories daily.  If you do not eat enough (especially if you're working out) you're more likely to lose lean muscle mass rather than fat. You may need to test out a few different calorie levels until you find the right balance for your body, lifestyle, and activity levels.  For example, if you notice you're not losing weight at all, you may need to eat fewer calories daily.  If you're feeling tired, fatigued, or notice your athletic performance is suffering, you may not be eating enough. Talk with your physician or a registered dietitian for advice on how to lose weight and build lean muscle mass. They can tell you more about exercise plans, diet plans, and give you warnings about any health issues which might arise.  If you have a heart condition, asthma, or any other health conditions you feel may inhibit your ability to lose weight, consult with your doctor immediately....

TL;DR in English: Set realistic goals for yourself. Determine your daily calorie intake. Consult with your doctor. Set up a weekly plan.

Think about the friends in your life. When talking about a very personal and sensitive topic like your first period, it is important to talk to someone you know will be supportive and who you feel comfortable talking about personal things with. Choose a friend who:  Cares about you Accepts you without being judgmental Encourages you when you need support Doesn’t talk about personal things you share without your permission If you talk to someone who already knows what you’re going through, they will probably be sympathetic, and may be able to offer some advice or even lend you some supplies (like tampons or sanitary pads). If you have more than one friend that you feel comfortable enough to talk to about your period, this can be a great way to get different perspectives. No two people have the same experiences with their periods. Periods can start at different ages, last for a longer or shorter amount of time, or cause different kinds of symptoms for different people. Talking to more than one friend may give you a better idea of what sorts of things you can expect.

Place the pan over medium heat and heat the oil until it begins to shimmer. Sauté the onions and peppers, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and the peppers soft. This should take about five minutes. Stir them in with the onions and garlic and cook for about three minutes, until the mushrooms are soft and have yielded their liquid. If you add the garlic too soon, it will burn; it only needs to cook for a minute once the vegetables have been cooked. Once the vegetables are cooked, the rest of the ingredients will be combined in a food processor. Be careful, since the contents of the pan will still be piping hot. Pour in the beans, ketchup, mayonnaise, soy sauce, bread crumbs, rice and spices. Just a few pulses should suffice. You want the texture to resemble ground beef. Take care not to over process the mix, since this will result in a runny batter. Use a spoon to scoop out the mixture and form it into palm-sized patties with your hands. Make the patties large enough to fit on standard hamburger buns. Allow the oil to get nice and hot; it's ready when it begins to shimmer. Place the patties in the pan and fry them on each side for two to three minutes, or until the exterior becomes brown and crispy. They're delicious on hamburger buns with all the classic fixings: ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce and tomato.

TL;DR in English: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and green peppers to the pan. Add the mushrooms to the pan. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer. Turn off the heat. Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients. Pulse the mixture until it becomes coarse and crumbly. Form the mixture into patties. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Fry the patties. Serve the veggie burgers.

After you harvest your fruits, it's important to prune in preparation for the next season of fruit bearing. Summer pruning is also ideal because the wounded parts of the tree heal faster.  Use lopping shears for large branches up to 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter. Avoid pruning the sides of the tree when possible. This is called skirting and will make it easier for you to conduct weed removal, watering, and fertilizer application. The goal is to maintain a modest tree height and clean up its lower region. Keeping a modest tree height improves flowering and, in turn, fruit production. During your regular inspections, always favor horizontal shoots that show potential for growth. This promotes a strong, compact structure.  Leaving a few vertical branches is fine if you have enough horizontal branches to provide support (around 3 to 4 primary limbs). Your mango trees should have a solid, fully formed structure after 3 years. Focus on trimming horizontal shoots, and do so immediately after harvest. This is especially important during the second or third year following planting, as trimming helps your tree put more energy into fruit production. Continue this procedure through the second year and then stop.

TL;DR in English: Prune immediately following harvesting using loppers. Cut lower branches to 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) from ground level. Remove any strong vertical shoots as opposed to horizontal shoots. Trim branches down to 50.8 centimetres (20.0 in) in length.

Official rules states that the center of the bullseye needs to be exactly 5 feet 8 inches high from the floor. Quality boards are hung from the center while others may be hung from the top. If you have a board that is hung from the top, measure the distance from the hanger to the center of the bullseye and add that to 5 feet 8 inches in order to get the correct height at which you should hang your dartboard. If your dart board is already encased in a protective cabinet or mount, measure from the center of the bullseye to your highest mounting point and add to 5 feet 8 inches. Center your board within the cabinet or mount. Face the counter sink towards you and place the backing board disc at the back center of the board. Screw the center hole in place followed by any other guide holes. Most dart boards will have 3 other holes to securely fasten the board into place. Remember to place the wall bracket so that that the center of the bullseye will be at 5 feet 8 inches from the ground. The wall bracket should have the opening to the top of the U shaped recess facing you. Screw once the center mark lines up with the center hole of the wall bracket. This will be removed later as it will only be used to ensure that the other brackets are level. Use a level for the bracket and 4 C screws then remove the centre screw once all brackets are level.    Line up your dart board by keeping the 20 scoring area vertical as you place the dartboard into the wall bracket. Make sure the disc is attached.  Once the brackets are mounted, align the board and drop it into the wall brackets. Mount the board flush to the wall not slanted like a picture. Make the throw line (also called the oche, toe-line, or hockey) 3 feet wide and 7 feet 9.25 inches from the face of a standard steel tipped set up or 8 feet from a soft tipped board. You may use tape, a piece of wood or metal, or even a store bought throw-line sticker. Ensure the throwline is centered and perpendicular to the face of the board. Measure from each corner of the line to the...

If you want the flower to look more dynamic, make sure that each piece of paper is a different color. Pick colors that will look good together, like red, purple, and yellow. If you pick colors that are too similar, like dark blue and purple, then they'll blend in together. For a more sturdy flower, you can use construction paper, and for a more loose, flowing flower you can use origami paper. Cut a large and small-sized flower from every paper. Follow the same or a similar design for each flower. You can just cut an ordinary flower with four or five petals. If you create three stencils in advance, you can use them to trace the same two shapes onto each paper. When you're done, just combine a large and small flower of a different color, placing the large flower below the small flower. Fan out the petals so they don't overlap too much. You should have three flowers made of two different colors.

TL;DR in English: Find three sheets of colorful paper. Cut two flowers of different sizes from each paper.

You can make a page of goals for the next few weeks or the semester, a page for the school calendar, and a page with contact information and birthdays. It will be easier to use your planner if you can flip straight to the section you need. Make sure to write your assignments down every day. If you don’t have an assignment, make a note of it so that you’ll know later that you didn’t just forget to write it down.

TL;DR in English:

Vacuum the car Shampoo the inside of the car if vacuuming didn't remove the smell. Sprinkle baking soda over odorous stains to remove the smell.

. If you want to create more opportunities for you to feel loved, a good place to start is by making some new friends. Try going out to clubs or take a class with your local community center. A community can be even better than a group of friends. Take up a local cause that is important to you, or join an online fan community (or even wikiHow!). These communities can be powerfully supportive and a great way to make your life better. A pet is another way to bring more love into your life. Our animals love us unconditionally and depend on us greatly. You can have a wonderful impact on an animal's life, especially if you get a rescue animal. Joining a church or other religious congregation can be a great way to find friends, a community and a strong support network. Find a congregation that shares your beliefs and try attending regular services and events. If you really think that what you need is a significant other, you can get a boyfriend or get a girlfriend. Just remember that sometimes these relationships bring on more problems than they solve. Volunteering is the best way for you to feel loved while having an incredibly positive impact on your community. You can volunteer everywhere from soup kitchens to hospice services and directly meet people who you help. You will find an incredible sense of fulfillment when you help others in a significant way. Give it a try today!

For most guys, a quick once-over with a comb after getting out of the shower in the morning is all they’ll need to keep short hair under control. Pay particular attention to cowlicks and flyaways, and use a little mousse, gel or pomade to smooth problem areas. A few quick swipes and you’ll be ready to head out the door.  A quick and painless combing can do the trick for guys with fairly straight, easy to style hair, but it may not be enough to get other hair types, textures and lengths looking good. Hair that is slightly longer has a tendency to lay in a certain orientation, and when your hair starts going in different directions, you have a disaster on your hands. Prevent that tousled bedhead by neatly parting your hair down one side. Just wet a comb, or use a nickel-sized dab of pomade, to keep hair slick, smooth and looking sharp.  Part your hair in the direction it tends to lay naturally. The parted, slicked hairstyle on men was popular with classic movie stars, and has made a comeback in recent years. Perhaps you prefer to look a little rough around the edges. If this is the case, make sure you’re doing it right. Work a little gel or pomade into your locks and brush, shake and pull like a madman until they look perfectly disordered. Using a product will help hold your hair in place so it doesn’t go from intentionally messy to unintentionally chaotic. A little messiness goes equally well with casual or dressier outfits, and will tell people that you’re the confident, carefree type. Guys with wild hair should avoid brushing or messing with their locks too much after showering. Too much dry-styling can cause longer hair to become frizzy and stick out. Instead, let your hair air dry so that it keeps its natural shape and make sure you use a strong conditioner to give it some extra weight and moisture. Brush your hair lightly with your fingers when you need to make adjustments.  Blow drying and brushing removes moisture from hair and breaks up natural curls. Leave-in conditioners and other moisturizing...

TL;DR in English: Comb your hair to tame it. Part your hair to one side. Wear your hair messy for an edgy look. Allow curly or shaggy hair to air dry. Shave it off.

If the person really loves you, then the idea of you being in their future is an absolute given, not something that they would ever have anxiety or uncertainty about. If the person routinely talks about what you're going to do in the future, about what your lives will look like one, two, or even ten years in the future together, then they are probably in love with you.  True commitment means seeing a forever with another person. If the person talks about the future and always includes you in it, then there is a good chance they truly love you. If the person talks about what your kids will look like, where you will retire together, or where you will go for your honeymoon, then they may really love you. There's a difference between saying, "I like your new haircut" and "You have the ability to make me feel better no matter what." If the person gives you compliments that show that they really appreciate the important aspects of your character and personality, then there's a good chance they really love you. Your loved one doesn't have to shower you with compliments all the time — it's the quality, not the quantity, that makes a difference. Remember that there is a big difference between "Love ya!" and "I love you." If your special someone really loves you and tells you this much while looking into your eyes, sounding earnest, and not wanting anything from you, then it's likely that they really mean it. If the person undeniably loves you, then they will say it for no reason at all, not just because they need a favor or because it feels like the right thing to say. If your loved one really loves you, then they will really open up to you and tell you what they are thinking, feeling, fearing, and longing for. If the person really opens up about their childhood, greatest regrets, most painful moments, or most romantic dreams for the future, then it's likely that they like you because the person is so comfortable telling you about almost everything. If the person tells you, "I've never told anyone this before...",...

TL;DR in English: Notice if the person talks positively about your future together. See if the person gives you meaningful compliments. Determine if the person means every "I love you". See if the person really opens up to you. Expect to be missed when apart. Hope to have your mistakes corrected. See if the person truly values your opinion.

When you begin the negotiating process, have the seller start. If the salesperson names the first price, you can work down from there. The opening price is what will define the negotiation, and you do not want to give the seller the chance to push your price range up.  Start off the negotiation by asking, "What are you selling the car for?" Once the seller names the price, you'll be able to bargain down. Usually, the first price named will be a couple of thousand dollars below the advertised price. You want to make sure, during negotiations, that the salesperson knows you've done your homework. A salesperson will be more willing to negotiate if he knows that you're aware of the average costs of the car you're considering buying. Mention you've looked at a website like Edmund's or Kelly's Blue Book, and mention the prices listed on those sites. You're unlikely to get a price in the exact range you want, but the salesperson will be willing to go lower if they know they're working with an informed customer. Do not be hesitant to keep negotiating. A salesperson's money is often made on commission. It's in the salesperson's best interest to eventually make a sale. Keep pushing to go lower until you get a price in your range.  You usually negotiate in a cubicle. Take opportunities to occasionally leave the cubicle during the negotiation process. This conveys to the salesperson that you will not be controlled, and that you're independent enough to take breaks and walk out of negotiations. Do not be afraid to let the negotiation go overnight. If you're not getting the price you want, say you'll come back tomorrow to discuss. After some time has passed, the salesperson may be willing to go lower. If the negotiations are not fruitful, do not be afraid to walk away from the deal. If you feel uncomfortable with the way things are going in negotiations, you have every right to take your business elsewhere. Salespeople want to sell as many cars as possible, so it's in their interest not to have a potential buyer walk away....

TL;DR in English: Have the seller name the first price. Mention you looked at a reputable pricing guide. Negotiate until you reach the right deal. Close the sale.

Start with the basics by clearing everything out of the car and removing all trash. There may be an old piece of food or other garbage stinking up your car. Check under the seats and remove all rotting food, trash, and junk items. Check back pockets and remove all trash items. Be careful if you have children as there may be sticky candies, or unidentified blobs of food stuck within the pocket. Don't forget to clean the back or trunk of the car as well. Use a soft cleaning cloth and an all-purpose cleaning spray to wipe down every plastic, wood, glass, and metallic surface inside the car. Look for any spills or stains that could be causing the odor. For example, a child may have spilled pudding on the seat.  For leather seats, use an appropriate leather cleaner. Alternatively, you can ask for a suitable interior car cleaner at your automotive store. If your upholstery is not leather, remove stains by vacuuming or shampooing the surfaces. In most cars, the floor mats (where the driver's and passengers' feet rest) can be removed. Pull these out, and use a few rags and hot, soapy water to clean them. Stains may have accumulated over time, which may be producing the foul smell in your car. Use clean water when you're cleaning off the floor mats. Wipe off all excess water from the mats so no water pools up in the car once you put the mats back in. to clear out any grime worked into the carpet. Vacuum the carpet and the seats to remove excess dirt. Besides dirt, food crumbs or leftover bits of trash may have been worked into the carpet. Vacuuming these out should improve the smell of your car. Run the vacuum nozzle over all seat and floor surfaces. If you're sure that the car's carpet is the problem, you could sprinkle carpet deodorizer over the carpet. Leave it to sit for the time recommended on the package instructions (usually about 5-10 minutes) before vacuuming it up. If vacuuming failed to remove the smell, you'll need to take a more aggressive approach towards cleaning the carpet. Purchase a car shampoo from...

The new position might be more demanding, requiring more public or community events, more executive or board meetings, more travel, and so on. Consider how this job will fit into your lifestyle and how it might impact your family. Carefully read the job posting and understand all parts that are required. Craft an eloquent yet concise letter of application that details your qualifications for the job. Include your resume that expands on the duties and skills that you have. You may also be required to submit supplemental materials, such as a strategic vision for the publication or company. Submit your application according to the instructions in the job posting.  If you are already working at the company that has the editor-in-chief vacancy, you may want to talk with your superior about your interest in the position. Do not assume that you will be automatically selected for the position. At this level of executive position, companies want to get the best person for the job; this is the person with the most applicable skills but also the person who may bring innovation and leadership to keep moving the publication forward. You may be working within a competitive environment in which you have a close working relationship with others who are applying for the same job. Or, you might be moving from one organization to another, and you might not want to tell your manager, audience, clients or writers that you are thinking of moving. Be sensitive and confidential when talking about the job posting. Schedule your interview for a time that is mutually convenient for you and the interviewers. You may need to be somewhat flexible and be prepared to dedicate an entire day (or more) to the initial round of interviews. Executive level positions will likely include several interviews and/or interviewers; these may include meeting with the publisher, board of directors, and staff. These might also take place at a company’s headquarters, which might require travel (and time off from your current job). Expect several rounds of...

TL;DR in English: Seriously consider what it means to be editor-in-chief. Prepare your application. Go for the interview. Get the job. Be a good leader for your organization.

Avoid skin tight clothing and clothing that will constrain your body as you move around on a hot day. In general rule, looser is cooler in hot weather. This will help to create a layer of air between your skin and your clothing. Look for dresses that are A-line cut, with a loose fit on your arms, chest and waist. Choose tops that are cropped so they do not hug your stomach or torso. Go for skirts and shorts that have a loose fit around your waist and legs. Go for bottoms that will not cover up your legs with material, especially if you want to feel cool on a hot day. Look for shorts or skirts in breathable fabrics and cuts that do not constrain your legs. You should avoid wearing pants, unless you have to wear them due to a professional dress code or a formal dress code. If you do have to wear pants, opt for pants made out of cotton or linen in a loose cut. You may also wear pants that you can roll at the hem so they do not squeeze or constrain your legs. You should also look for tops that have short sleeves or that are sleeveless. If you tend to have sweat lines, you may opt for sleeveless tops so your sweat lines do not show. Make sure the tops are made of breathable material like linen or cotton so you can stay cool and show off your killer arms. Men may not have the option of going sleeveless in the office. Instead, you can opt to wear long sleeve button up shirts in a breathable material like chambray, a lightweight alternative to denim. If you are trying to dress modestly but still stay cool in the heat, you may be tempted to layer your clothing and shed each layer when you get hot. However, layering will only create more clothing for you to deal with as you go about your day and likely will not keep you cool. Instead, you should choose clothing items that do not require you to layer. This way, you do not have to worry about shedding clothing throughout the day.  A good hot weather item is a maxi dress, which allows you to cover up your legs without having to worry about shedding a layer. Maxi dresses...

TL;DR in English: Go for looser cuts and styles. Opt for shorts or skirts over pants. Wear short sleeve or sleeveless tops. Do not layer your clothing.

Learn to be confident, to stand in front of your students and speak well. Practice reading aloud to get comfortable speaking loudly and clearly and to make sure you won't stumble when you do it in front of your class. Practice good public speaking skills so that you can perform well in the classroom. Pay attention to your students and give their ideas your full consideration. Work on building a rapport early on in the school year. Treat them as intelligent and worthy people, and respect them academically and otherwise. Try getting to know one thing each student is passionate about outside the classroom. Then, encourage them to pursue their interests and curiosities, and challenge them in and out of the classroom. When you give them attention and respect, you'll find that they perform well so as to be worthy of it. Encourage your students to drop by at lunch or after school. This can make a huge difference for students who may be struggling or who want to pursue a discussion further. Being available for them encourages them to foster a genuine interest in the material, and it's a display of your respect and desire to help them learn. Don't shout at the pupils every chance you get, but on the other hand don't let them walk over you. Show discipline, but don't go over the top, or this will make them behave worse towards you. If a pupil has done well, tell them so and reward them. Likewise if a pupil is struggling, tell him or her to stay behind so that you can help them to find out what's going wrong, or ask another pupil who understands the concept to help the struggling one. Don't speak and write too quickly. This will give them time to listen, understand, and copy things down so that they don't miss essential information. Help them absorb your lessons, and encourage them to make connections between topics and outside of class so that they can more fully understand your lessons.

TL;DR in English: Become comfortable speaking in front of your class. Encourage your students. Be available outside of class. Be strict but fair. Make sure your students understand what you teach.

After you’ve communicated, come to an agreement, and worked out any confusion, you need to abide by the understanding you’ve both come to. This will prevent any awkward situations.  Try to internalize what your friend said in your prior conversations. If you’ve both agreed to just “be friends,” then you should both act as friends would. If you still hold feelings for your friend, resist the temptation to act on them. Remember, you both came to an agreement to be friends. If you both wanted to enter a relationship, you would have agreed to do so. Remember that the kiss was a one-time thing. Your goal is to be friends. Acting normal is key to maintaining your friendship. If you act awkward or treat your friend differently, it could endanger your relationship.  There is no need to act all nervous afterwards or avoid the other person. It happened normally, so act normally. If you’re nervous or feel awkward around your friend, talk to your friend about it. Being nervous or feeling awkward after a kiss is normal. Try taking a few deep breaths and remind yourself that the nervousness or awkwardness will fade with time. Perhaps the most important thing you need to do to stay friends is to do just that — stay friends. If you stay friends, and try to act the way you did before the kiss, your chances of maintaining the friendship are relatively high.  Continue to talk to your friend as this includes confiding and sharing your feelings and thoughts as you did before Continue to do things together. You should try to continue doing the activities you did together before the kiss. Continue to view each other as friends. If you don’t view the person as a friend anymore, there will be no way to stay friends.

TL;DR in English: Abide by your understanding. Act as normal as you can around the person. Stay friends.

Place a length of quarter round up against your wall. Use a small pencil mark to indicate where the quarter round meets the door jamb (or other obstruction). Place your quarter round into a miter box and secure it with the pins provided. Cut your wood at a 45-degree angle, angled away from the door jamb. The pencil marking you made should form the corner of your 45-degree angle.  You can purchase a miter box and saw set from most home improvement stores, or online. Wear gloves and protective eye wear. Always be careful when using a saw. Take another piece of small piece quarter round and place it into your miter box. Use your saw to make a 45-degree cut, angled in the opposite direction (if your previous cut in the quarter round was angled to the left, this one will angle to the right). Change the angle of your saw and make a straight cut about 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) away from your angle cut. You should end up with an end cap that is flat on one side and a 45-degree angle on the other side. Line up the longer piece of quarter round up against the wall where it will go. Spin your end cap so that the flat cut is up against the wall, the angle cut is against the other piece of quarter round, and the finished side is visible.

TL;DR in English:

Start by boiling 3 cups (710 ml) of water in a kettle or in a pot over the stove. Bring the water to boiling temperature (212 degrees Fahrenheit, 100 degrees Celsius). If your pipes are PVC or plastic, 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celcius) is the hottest temperature water you can pour down the drain to prevent damage. Do a final flush of the drain with 3 cups (710 ml) of boiling hot water. This should remove any remaining grime or debris in the drain. You can flush the drain with hot water on a weekly basis to keep it clean.

TL;DR in English: Boil the water. Flush the drain with hot water again.

Linear functions are typically written in the form f(x) = ax + b. The a represents the gradient of the line, which gives the rate of change of the dependent variable. This is also known as the “slope.” The b represents the y-axis intercept. It is the value of the dependent variable y or, in other words, f(x) when x = 0. Say, for example, that you have a function f(x) = x + 5. This is a linear function in standard form.    You know your graph will be a straight line because you have a linear function; therefore, you really need only two points. In general, though, you should find three points instead, to check for accuracy. In the example above, you might choose to use -1, 0, and 1 for your x values. Solve as shown.    Plot your points on the coordinate system, using the values you got from solving your three equations. In the example above, your graph would look like this.    For any two points, there is only one way to connect them with a straight line. Use a ruler to join them with a straight line. Note that if you graph three points, and they don’t all lie on the same line, then you’ve made a mistake somewhere. Go back and calculate again. In the example above, your graph would look like this.

TL;DR in English: Recognize the standard form of a linear function. Find at least two points. Plot the points. Connect the points.

Check your peach tree each day and water it lightly if it appears wilted. General rainfall is all a peach tree needs, but if you live in a particularly dry area, it may need a light watering.  Apart from this, to take care of weeds and nutrition, an organic mulch will likely do the trick. Just make a circle of mulch over the root zone that’s a couple of inches (5cm) deep and 3 feet (0.91 m) (1m) or so in diameter.   With the right amount of rainfall, you can literally just sit back and watch your tree grow. You may also want to consider deterring insect borers by wrapping the trunk with scraps of garden row cover.  To keep rodents at bay, you can surround the tree with a cylinder of mesh hardware cloth. Use a lime-sulfur spray to raise your tree’s chances against peach leaf curl, the most common disease culprit. After six weeks or so, 1 pound of nitrogen fertilizer spread evenly over the area will help your tree flourish. After the initial year, you can decrease the amount to ¾ of a pound.  After the third year when the tree is mature, add 1 pound of actual nitrogen to the soil. This is best done in the spring. To make your tree hardier, don’t fertilize it within 2 months of the first frost or when the fruits are maturing.

TL;DR in English: Care for your peach tree. Apply a mild pesticide to your peach tree after about a week to prevent insects and disease from damaging it. Add a nitrogen fertilizer about twice a year to your peach tree.

In most cases, a dinner that involves five ingredients will cost less than one that requires ten. Search for recipes that only use a few ingredients and do not require anything too exotic. Plenty of people are interested in learning how to cook inexpensive meals, and cookbook publishers know it. Budget cookbooks can provide you with a plethora of low-cost meal ideas. Before you plan out your meals, look at the ingredients you already have at home. Comb through your spice cabinet and your pantry. If you have any product nearing its expiration date, plan a meal that will allow you to use it. Likewise, if you have an excess amount of any given product, plan a meal using that, as well. You can grow a number of herbs, vegetables, and fruits even with limited space. If you plan on cooking budget meals for a long time, starting a garden now is a good way to save on produce costs later on. Once you decide on your meals for the week, make a detailed list of everything you need. Mark down every ingredient you do not already have in your pantry, and jot down sizes and quantities as applicable. Do not go shopping without a list, since you may forget some items or walk away with something you do not need. Most chain grocery stores have weekly sales. Many stores have pamphlets that they send out via mail or keep inside the store. Flip through these sale pamphlets to learn what products are on sale this week and plan meals that could use those products. If there is a certain product you cook with frequently, such as vegetable oil or salt, consider buying large quantities of it to save on the cost per serving. Compare prices of the bulk amount with the smaller amount to ensure that you receive a bargain. Also make sure to only buy bulk products you can actually use before the expiration date.

TL;DR in English: Choose meals with fewer ingredients. Invest in a budget cookbook. Take inventory of your stock at home. Start a garden. Make a detailed list. Shop sales. Buy in bulk.

your muscles before you jump to prevent injuries. After a quick 2-5 minute cardio warmup, stretch your arms, legs, chest, and back. You can do any stretches, as long as they target the right muscle groups. Here are some stretches for you try:  Do a forward bend to stretch all of your muscles. Stand up straight with your feet together, then bend slowly down toward the floor. Reach out to touch the floor with your fingers. To stretch your arms, bring one arm up over your head, reaching toward the sky. Bend your arm at your elbow so it’s parallel to the back of you head. Then, use your other hand to pull your elbow gently toward your head. Repeat on the other side. A backflip is an advanced move, so it usually takes time to master it. You need to be on a soft surface to minimize your risk of injury. A gymnastics mat or foam pit is the best surface, but sand or grass may also work.  As another option, you may prefer starting on a trampoline, which provides some give and helps you build momentum. However, don’t try your flip on a trampoline if you have trouble controlling the height of your jumps. If you’re new to backflips, don’t attempt to do one on a hard surface, especially concrete. Since a backflip is an advanced move, it can be dangerous to complete, especially at first. It’s important that you have someone there who can watch your jump and potentially help you. At the very least, make sure someone is with you to call for help if you get hurt. If you lose your balance and fall, it’s possible that you will not be able to get yourself help.

TL;DR in English:


Appeal to the intellect. Use your opinions to stand out. Embrace spontaneity. Plan dates based around cultural activities. Dress up a little for dates.

Photos from your last camping trip can showcase your adventures, or photos from your child’s first year can be a decoration for a first birthday party. Collages can decorate a small area of a wall, or they can be the centerpiece for an entire room. Take into account how many pictures you have to work with; making a large collage will require lots of pictures. These can come from just about any printed material, from magazines, newspapers, old books, or postcards. Even fabric can be used in collages. If you are doing a photo collage, you should select the best photos that represent the event or convey the theme you’re going for. Depending on how large your collage is, you may need to choose just a few pictures, or you may need 10 or more.  Consider how large you want your pictures to be in your final collage. The pictures do not need to be the same size, nor do they need to be the same shape. In fact, a range of sizes and shapes will give more dimension to your collage and make it more interesting to the eye. Think about if you want a certain picture to dominate the collage and have subordinate pictures surrounding it, for example. You don’t need to always choose pictures of people. Adding in pictures of details (a bridge or road, a plate of cookies, a deck of cards from a poker game) can add dimension to your collage. These add to the overall sense you’re trying to convey in your collage. Because you are creating a collage of many pictures, you can afford to include some background or detail pictures. Your collage will look better if you have high quality images with sharp resolution (at least 300 dpi; 600 dpi for larger photos). You can use all matching frames, or use frames that are all different shapes, sizes and colors. You can either have a professional framing service do this, or you can select your own frame. Choose a frame that is complementary in color to the collage. Have hooks on the back to enable easy wall hanging. Start deciding how you want to place your pictures. Do this on the floor or large...

TL;DR in English: Determine a theme and purpose for your collage. Determine the size and shape of your collage. Choose your pictures. Print out high quality digital photos on good paper. Select your frames. Map out your collage. Make paper cutouts of each frame. Hang your pictures.

Whether your religious rights have been endangered or not, if you believe in the freedom of religion you can protect those rights by becoming an activist. An activist is someone who believes in a social cause and campaigns for that cause. In order to effectively campaign for religious freedom, you will have to understand the laws you are trying to effect. At its most basic level, religious freedoms are protected by the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment. The First Amendment has two religious clauses, and countless federal and state laws protect those religious freedoms.  The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from encouraging or promoting religion. Under the Establishment Clause, your religious rights may be diminished if government promoted a religion that is not yours. The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment gives you the right to worship or not however you choose. Here, your rights may be infringed if you are unable to worship due to a government law or policy.  The laws passed by federal, state, and local governments must all adhere to these constitutional principals. If they do not, they will likely be found unconstitutional by a court. Another way to fight for religious freedom is to write letters to your state and federal representatives and make your beliefs known. These letters can be particularly persuasive considering you are the individual voting these people into office. If they do not listen to your concerns, they may not win reelection. You can write your legislators as well as your executives (i.e., the President and governor). When you write a letter to your representatives, state your purpose up front and be very clear about what you want your representative to do. For example, if there is a bill being debated in the senate that you believe diminishes your religious freedoms, you might write a letter to your senator letting them know you want them to oppose the bill. Prior to filing a lawsuit, you may choose (or be required) to file a complaint with...

TL;DR in English: Become an activist. Write to your representatives. File government complaints. Create a ballot initiative. Protect everybody's religious freedoms.

One of the most common issues with inexpensive umbrellas is the canopy fabric coming detached from the end of one of the ribs. When this happens, all you have to do is thread a sewing needle and weave it through the small hole in the rib, up through the canopy fabric, then back down again. After a few passes, snip the thread and tie off the ends 2-3 times to make sure it holds. In the best case scenario, there will be no actual damage to the fabric itself, and your umbrella will be as good as new (or better) by the time you're finished. Thread your sewing needle with a strand of nylon thread and double-knot the loose end. Fold the torn canopy fabric over on itself by about 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm), then guide your needle back and forth through one side of the fabric and out the other until the knot comes to a stop against your first stitch. When you're done, tie the loose ends of the thread and snip off the excess.  Aim to leave 1⁄16–1⁄8 in (0.16–0.32 cm) of space between each of your stitches. A couple stitches will probably be all you need for a minor snag or puncture. Use a pair of fabric scissors to trim the patch 1⁄4–1⁄2 in (0.64–1.27 cm) larger than the hole on all sides. Place the patch over the hole on the inside of the canopy, then straight-stitch around the outer edges of the patch until it's held firmly in place.  Shop around for a patch with a color and texture that's similar to that of your umbrella. You'll most likely need to use a patch any time you're dealing with a rip or hole that's more than 1⁄4–1⁄2 in (0.64–1.27 cm) long or wide. First, soak up a small amount of rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball and gently dab the application site to clean it. Next, cut the replacement patch to fit your hole. Finally, peel off the adhesive backing and press the patch firmly into place over the damaged area.  Patching kits can be a lifesaver for those times when you don't have a needle and thread handy, or when you'd just rather not go to the effort of stitching your umbrella up yourself. You can pick up a nylon...

TL;DR in English: Wind a length of thread around a separated rib to hold it in place. Stitch up small tears with a needle and thread. Sew on a waterproof fabric patch if you need to cover a hole. Use a nylon patching kit to fix your umbrella without sewing it.

. Wash 1–3 citrus fruits per quart (liter). Slice into thin rounds and leave in cold water for at least three hours. If you plan to leave it in longer for more intense flavor, cut off the rinds first to avoid bitter flavors.   See below for a step-by-step guide covering all fruit and herb recipes. Try adding ¼ cup (60mL) mint or basil leaves. . Use about 1 cup (240mL) fruit per quart (liter) water. Fresh berries won't infuse well until they're crushed with a wooden spoon. Frozen berries are already broken, but you may crush further to speed things up. Infuse for three hours or more, then strain. This combines well with the juice of half a lemon. . Slice a cucumber into thin rounds and add to a pitcher of water. Let steep overnight, then drink within a day or two.  Optionally, cut the whole cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp before slicing. Enhance this mild flavor with three or four slices of lemon or cubes of pineapple. This sophisticated combination is subtle, but delicious. Try 1 cup (240mL) blackberries per quart (liter), plus a handful of sage leaves. Apple and other hard fruits don't seep flavor as quickly as others. Slice very thinly and infuse for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. An hour before serving, transfer to room temperature for added flavor.

TL;DR in English: Make citrus water Flavor with strawberries or raspberries Create a cucumber concoction Mix blackberry and sage. Infuse with apple.

An aquarius is unlikely to be swayed by regular flirtation. They are intellectually oriented by nature, and tend to prefer a partner they can learn from. When first attempting to woo an aquarius, showcase your intelligence.  When you strike up a conversation, mention something cultural. Ask about a current event or a recent film you just saw. Try to notice something about an aquarius and make a comment. For example, maybe you saw them reading a particular book earlier in the day. If you've read that book as well, that may be a good means to strike up a conversation. An aquarius is unlikely to be seduced by flattery or charm. They long for partners who can match them intellectually, and do not want to be simply fawned over up by a partner. When wooing an aquarius, share your opinion. This will make you stand out from potential suitors.  During a discussion of, say, a current event, unabashedly share your thoughts. Even if an aquarius disagrees, they will be thrilled at the opportunity to have a rich intellectual discussion. Never agree with an aquarius to please them. They will see through this and are not interested in partners that are not intellectually challenging. An aquarius needs a lot of stimulation to be entertained. However, they also have a tendency to dislike plans. Independent thinkers by nature, plans can be seen as a form of control. When planning dates, keep things flexible.  Light plans work best. You can agree to meet somewhere around a given time and then see where things go. Do not be surprised if an aquarius suddenly has a whim they wish to follow. The mention of a movie involving horseback riding, for example, may cause an aquarius to propose an impromptu trip to a nearby ranch. Be willing to follow along in these endeavors. An aquarius needs someone willing to go along for the ride. Consider going to internet cafes, readings, intellectual events, book stores, new restaurants. An aquarius will love these types of places. An aquarius loves intellectual pursuits, so a date involving all...

Part of an obstacle course is having rules.  If participants don't understand how to proceed when tackling an obstacle they may do so in an unfair or unsafe way.  Think about some of the basic types of obstacles and how you might instruct participants when they encounter them.  Having instructions can help prevent injury and make a fair obstacle course. Include specific instructions on how an obstacle is to be completed. For example, participants must go through a tunnel and not over it. A common element of an obstacle course is to feature obstacles that test a persons agility.  These obstacles will require a person to move quickly and accurately to successfully move past it.  Create a well rounded course by including obstacles that test agility.   Running around a series of cones, like a skier slaloming, can be a good test of agility. Try tying small threads with bells attached to them just off the ground.  Participants have to step around them without ringing the bells.  Hanging hula-hoops from a branch can create an obstacle that needs to be hopped or stepped through. Many obstacle courses contain obstacles that require the participants to leap over or around.  Including jumping obstacles can be a great way to make your obstacle course a fun challenge.  Review some of the following ideas to get you started when thinking about your jumping obstacles:  Try setting some targets, such as a hula hoop, on the ground to have people jump towards. Consider a section of the course that has to be done on a pogo stick or bounce ball. Create a high jump obstacle by placing something soft in the path like a hay bale. Doing a series of frog jumps can be a good test of jumping abilities. Balancing obstacles will test the fine movements of participants as they attempt the obstacle.  These obstacles are generally slower paced, requiring graceful and thoughtful motions from those undertaking the obstacle course.  A simple straight board can make a good balance beam. You can require people to stand on one leg for a certain...

TL;DR in English: Think about instructions. Include obstacles that test agility. Create jumping obstacles. Build a balancing obstacle for your course. Include teamwork in your obstacles. Create obstacles that test strength.

You need to know what you hope to gain from brainstorming. Whether you hope to clarify a business model, come up with a business idea or product, or find a solution to a customer need, you have to be absolutely clear about the purpose of your discussions. What do you want to have in the end? A completed business plan? A product design? Write this objective down and place it prominently in your brainstorming space to keep you and your team on track. Regardless of whether or not you have an actual business idea yet, you need a starting point from which your other brainstorming ideas can flow. Small business ideas typically start as something the founder notices, like some kind of unmet need in his or her community or an idea that they have to improve a process. These can be sudden insights or the result of noticing small things through years of work in a certain industry or profession. Whatever idea you have that has caused you to bring people together and think up a small business, define it, and then move forward from there.  It is also important to clearly and succinctly define the starting point or the impetus for the brainstorming session so that everyone is focused on the same input and outcome. The most successful companies started with a combination of a recognized need in the market and a new technology. For example, Google combined people's need to find things easily online with their proprietary search technology. A good starting place could be either one or both, of these two parts. Your starting point doesn't necessarily have to be a solid business or product idea. Instead, it can be a goal, like making money, creating a unique product, or gaining market share. This is more difficult to start with, as you have no guidance on deciding what exactly your future business will do or make. However, this also opens up limitless possibilities. And even if you do have a solid idea, determining what you want from your business can help you with long-term planning. Do not invite people who will think the same...

TL;DR in English: Define the objective of your brainstorming session. Come up with a starting point. Decide what you want from your business idea. Brainstorm with a group of people. Set up your brainstorming location.

This problem is easy — just solve exactly as above. See below for a step-by-step solution.  11/4 — to start, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator. 11 ÷ 4 = 2 R 3 — now, we need to make a fraction from the remainder and our original denominator. 11/4 = 2 3/4 We're dealing with a really big numerator here, but don't be intimidated — the process is exactly the same! See below:  99/5 — how many times does 5 go into 99? Since 5 goes into 100 exactly 20 times, it's safe to say that 5 goes into 99 19 times. 99 ÷ 5 = 19 R 4 — now, we just put the mixed number together like before. 99/5 = 19 4/5 Up until now, we've only dealt with improper fractions where the numerator is bigger than the denominator. But what happens when they're the same number? See below to find out.  6/6 — six goes into six one time with no remainder, obviously. 6 ÷ 6 = 1 R0. Since a fraction with 0 in the numerator is always equal to zero, we don't need to put a fraction next to our whole number. 6/6 = 1 If the numerator is a multiple of the denominator, you don't have to bother with the remainder — just do the division problem to get your answer. See below.  18/6 — since we know that 18 is just 6 × 3, we know we'll have a remainder of 0, so we don't need to worry about the fraction part of our mixed number. 18/6 = 3 Negatives work exactly the same way as positive numbers do. See below:  -10/3 -10 ÷ 3 = -3 R1 -10/3 = -3 1/3

TL;DR in English: Convert 11/4 to a mixed number. Convert 99/5 to a mixed number. Convert 6/6 to a mixed number. Convert 18/6 to a mixed number. Convert -10/3 to a mixed number.

A well-coordinated room will look expensive even if the elements of the décor are cheap. Choose a theme that will tie together your room. This will help you look for inexpensive pieces while making it seem as though you have paid an interior decorator. Rooms that seem confused, cluttered, and mismatched have the look of cheap rather than luxury even if the pieces are lovely.  For example:  A beach-themed room would have pictures of the ocean, shell decorations, and a blue-green palette. A rustic, woodsy theme would have wood detailing, paintings of landscapes, and an earthy palette. Industrial themes use repurposed items, steel accents, and sharp edges to give the room a more modern edge. Gray, brick red, and black are popular colors.  Minimalism is a popular and trendy design scheme where you use as few pieces as possible to decorate your room. Simple furniture and white or neutral colors will make the room look as though it could feature in a magazine, likes Home and Garden, but the style is inexpensive to recreate. Stick with white or light neutral shades, such as brown or gray, for the base color. Your walls and larger furniture pieces should belong to this color scheme. For example, you might have beige walls with white doors and gray furniture. Your feature elements will stand out against neutral colors more, which will make them seem more prominent.  Some neutral colors you can mix and match include:  Gray Slate Blue Taupe Soft yellow Off-white shades like ivory and cream Coffee brown Tan Beige Accent pieces are small decorative items that contrast with your neutral color scheme. They are usually either brightly colored or patterned. Accent pieces can be easily and cheaply be replaced if you ever change your style. Make sure all of your accent pieces are the same color for maximum effect. Some items you might consider for accents include:  Vases Pillows or cushions Blankets or throws Picture Frames Ottoman Tablecloths Flowers Figurines Striped, dotted, or chevron patterned objects A focal point is a...

TL;DR in English: Choose a unifying theme. Focus on a neutral color palette. Add accent pieces. Choose a focal point. Avoid clutter.

If you’re using your air unit on a daily basis -- running your air conditioner in the summer, for instance -- you should check the unit’s filter once a month. This way you will be able to see if the filter is dirty and needs changing. If you don’t use your air unit frequently, you may still want to check your filter once a month if your household includes pets, smokers, or a large amount of people. If your unit’s filter is non-pleated (has a smooth surface instead of a ridged one), it has less surface area to filter out particles and will become dirty and ineffective sooner. You may prefer non-pleated filters as they often have lower energy costs, but be prepared to change them more often. Even if your filter doesn’t look particularly dirty, it should be changed at least every 3 months when it’s being used regularly. Air conditioners should have new filters every 3 months in the summer, and the same goes for furnace filters in the winter. No matter when you changed it last, you should always get a new filter if your current one appears dirty or damp, or if it seems to be growing mold. If you hold your air filter up to a light, you should be able to see through it easily. If not, it should be changed immediately.

TL;DR in English:


Look for volatile solvents. Recognize gasses. Learn about aerosols. Notice nitrites.

Understand that self-help alone may not be enough to overcome the desire to purge. Professional help, in combination with the other methods listed here, is the most beneficial way to overcome this condition. A professional can help you to create a plan tailored to your specific needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective therapy modality for reducing purging behaviors. CBT is about changing your thoughts in order to change your feelings (anxiety, guilty, worry, depression) and behaviors (purging). . A therapist can help you understand that purging is not the solution to resolve weight problems nor the right coping mechanism to deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, frustration, anger, hopelessness and low self-esteem. Therapists are typically non-judgmental and safe individuals to confide in regarding your purging behaviors. You can look up a therapist that specializes in eating disorders online, or you can talk to a family member or trusted doctor who can help you to find someone that will fit your needs best. Your treatment does not necessarily need to consist of only one therapist. Many people who experience an eating disorder actually work with multiple professionals to help create a meal schedule and plan of action that works. These professionals can include: Physicians, counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists/therapists, and nutritionists (dietitians). There are different medications, including antidepressants, that have been shown to reduce symptoms of binging and purging. However, medication is typically not enough to treat purging behaviors. The best treatment is usually a combination of medication and therapy.  Consult with your medical doctor to get a referral to a psychiatrist in your area. Or, you can contact your insurance company or conduct an online search for low-cost mental health clinics in your area. While, medical doctors (MDs, general practitioners) can typically prescribe medications for mental health concerns, psychiatrists are specifically trained in mental...

TL;DR in English: Explore options for help.  Talk to a therapist Seek the help of more than one professional. Consider medication.

Hide your to-do list, disregard your chores, and take a break from your responsibilities. Consider taking the day off of work, if you can. It's your birthday, and maybe the greatest present will be a bit of quiet and piece of mind. Turn off your work phone and put away your laptop. Take a break from media in general (including social media). Make peace and relaxation your focus for the day, especially if your work life is very busy. Grab some bubble bath, fill your tub with warm water, and soak away your troubles. Include things like a facial mask, manicure and pedicure, and a massage for a real spa day at home!  If celebrating someone else’s birthday, you can create a gift basket with at-home spa products, like lotion, bubble bath, massage oil, and nail polish, for example. For children, you can get bright colored bubble bath or bath crayons or markers to make bath time more fun. Kick back and relax on your sofa or chair, and pop in your favorite movie. Watch 1 movie or have a marathon. You can also try a new TV show on Hulu or Netflix.  Hanging out and watching a flick will give you some time to unwind and let go, which may be the ideal present for your birthday. You can watch movies with your family, friends, or by yourself, depending on how you want to celebrate. When was the last time you could flip through a novel without worrying about your to-do list? On your birthday, take some quiet time for yourself. Spend some time reading a book, newspaper, or magazine. What's more relaxing than your fuzzy pajama bottoms and slippers? Make it a point to stay comfy and relaxed, and you can do this by deciding not to get dressed if you'd like! You can celebrate by setting aside time for things you enjoy. Being creative and working on a hobby can help you wind down and relax, as well as treat yourself to something you enjoy. Work on a painting or drawing, find a DIY craft tutorial, or start a new sewing project, for example.

TL;DR in English: Put aside all responsibilities for the day. Disconnect from your electronics for your special day. Take a bubble bath for a relaxing spa day at home. Have a movie marathon or binge watch a favorite show. Pick up a book and enjoy some quiet alone time. Stay in your pajamas all day. Spend time on your favorite hobbies, like arts and crafts.

This will open the "Run" program from which you can access your PC's registry.  Doing so will launch the Registry Editor tool. You'll need to navigate through several of the folders listed here in order to reach your destination. Since the registry holds most of your computer's sensitive system information, consider clicking File and then Export in the top left corner of your screen to back up your registry before proceeding. Note that you'll need to click the + sign to the left of the folder to expand it--don't click the folder itself. Each folder you need to expand after this point will be inside of the previous folder (for example, "SOFTWARE" was inside of "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and so on).    Don't expand this one. You should see its contents listed in a window on the right side of the Registry Editor page.   These should be several pairs and sequences of random numbers. This should remove the values listed here. It doesn't matter what you put here, but you'll need to keep the format consistent (for example, if you deleted four characters, you'll need to replace that section with four characters). This will save your changes.  Remember, you can hold ⊞ Win and tap R to do so. Exclude the quotation marks. Entering this command opens the Windows XP activation wizard. For best results, simply copy and paste this text into the Run field.  This option should say "Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows" and there should be a clickable check box to the left of it. If you see a note that says "Windows XP is already activated", changing your key manually isn't working. Please proceed to the Windows Key Finder method.  This is at the bottom of the "Activate" window. Note that you may have to attempt this step a few times with different keys. If you don't know the version of Windows XP your computer is currently running, consult your computer's manual to verify before you proceed with trying the linked product keys. This will generate a new Windows XP ID for your computer. After...

Many inhalants that are abused can be found in the home or office. All inhalants can be grouped into larger categories based on their properties. The first category is volatile solvents, a group of chemicals that originate in a liquid state, but become a gas at room temperature. Products in this group include:  Paint thinner Degreasing type cleaners Gasoline Glue Correction liquid such as White Out Markers with felt tips such as permanent markers or dry erase markers Another category of inhalants is gases. This group includes products that contain gasses, which are typically under pressure. The hit taken off aerosol gases, such as those found in whip cream, are often referred to as whippets. Common types of gases are:  Butane tanks Lighters Whipped cream cans Medical gasses such as chloroform The third category of inhalants is aerosols. These chemicals are usually products that are sprayed and can then be inhaled from a bag or rag. These products are sprays such as:  Hair spray Spray paint Non-stick sprays such as vegetable oil from a spray can Keyboard cleaners in a can The last group of inhalants is known as nitrites. These are a special class of inhalants because they do not affect the nervous system like other inhalants. They work to dilate blood vessels and relax the muscles. Because of this, nitrites are used as sexual enhancers, whereas other inhalants are used to alter mood. Nitrites are often called poppers or snappers and are sold in small bottles labeled for other uses, such as leather cleaner, room deodorizer, or liquid aroma.

TL;DR in English:


Sort the bras by color. Step up your game by organizing the colors. Sort your bras by type if you don't want to sort them by color. Keep similar bras together if you lack drawer space. Keep bras ordered by size, if needed. Keep the bras you wear the most towards the front.

As a loved one, you can do your part in reassuring someone you care about by letting them know what they mean to you. Of course, this won't make their troubles go away, but it will help them feel less alone in facing them. You might say something like, “I love you so much. I'm sorry you're going through this, but I'm here.” People suffering from anxiety may only see the world from the perspective of fear, which makes them feel like a burden to the people around them. Your loved one may not know just how valuable they are to you, so tell them. You might say, “I know you probably don't know this, but once I was feeling really down in the dumps. I didn't think I could go on anymore. You randomly called me. Without even knowing, you made my day so much better.” Those who feel fear or anxiety may only see their weaknesses. So, your friend doesn't need more criticism, they need reminding of their positive traits. This can help reassure them and empower them to overcome their fears. For instance, if you and a friend who has social anxiety are going to an event, you might say, “Sandra, I really like the color of your dress, and your makeup is flawless.” Or you might praise character traits like, “Gee, Greg, you are such a great listener. I don't know what I would do without you.” If your friend is nervous about an upcoming event or activity, do your part to encourage them. Cheer them on by reminding them how great they are and letting them know you believe in their abilities. You might say something like, "I know you're worried about the test, but you shouldn't be. You're a rock star! You know your stuff, so I know you'll knock this test out of the park!"

TL;DR in English: Tell them how much you care. Explain how they have made your life better. Praise them. Root them on.

Keep track of how long you can ordinarily work before getting tired. Once you have this benchmark, try working more than this on one day, followed by a day in which your work load is lighter. Periodically pushing yourself like this can help your build up to being able to work effectively for longer periods. Another technique to building up to longer periods of work is to push yourself a little further at times. When you feel like you don’t want to work any longer, or are looking for ways to procrastinate, don’t stop immediately. Instead, commit to working a little longer (20 minutes, for example), and then stopping. Getting enough rest is important to maintaining a good work ethic. If you are truly tired (and not looking to procrastinate), it is a sign that you should take a break. Whatever your work schedule is like, make sure you factor in enough time for sleep and relaxation into your day.  There is some variation from person to person, but generally adults need 7.5 to 8.5 hours of sleep per day. Work can be very important, but it is also important not to neglect other parts of your life. Everyone needs mental breaks, to have time to do things they enjoy, and to take care of non-work priorities. Maintaining a life beyond work is actually part of developing a good work ethic, so make sure you allow yourself this.  When you are off of work for the day, disconnect completely. Try not to think about pending projects, check your work email, or talk too much about work with family and friends.

TL;DR in English: Build up to longer periods of work. Give yourself time to rest. Maintain a good work-life balance.

Many teachers make their expectations clear at the beginning of the semester. Learning these quickly and adhering to them will give the teacher fewer reasons to pick on you.   Keep a copy of the syllabus with you during class as a reference. Be sure to follow any special formatting rules they may have for homework assignments. Teachers want students to listen to their lessons. Looking interested and engaged shows them that you take your learning seriously.  Sit up straight at your desk. Look up from your notebook to show you are paying attention. Make sure you are setting aside enough time to prepare for exams in the teacher's class. Maintaining a good grade in the class will show the teacher you are invested. Make sure you are raising your hand and answering questions a couple of times per class to show you are interested. Don’t over do it. Some teachers can be just as put off by the teacher's pet as they can a slacker student.

TL;DR in English: Learn the classroom rules and expectations. Look attentive. Study for quizzes and tests. Participate a moderate amount.

Turn on the tap and fill a large pot about halfway with water. There aren’t any exact measurements for the water – just make sure you use enough so the zoodles will be fully submerged when you add them. Place the pot on the burner over high heat and allow the water to come to a boil. Use a spoon to stir them until they're fully submerged. Let the zoodles boil in the water for 1 to 3 minutes, stirring them occasionally. If you’re just making 1 serving of zoodles, 60 seconds is probably all they’ll need. If you’re making a large batch of zoodles for 4 or more people, let them cook for about 3 minutes.  If you’re making a really large amount of zoodles, consider cooking them in batches so you don’t overfill the pot.  Even if you like them super soft, don’t boil the zoodles for more than 5 minutes or you’ll overcook them. It’s easy to overcook zoodles, especially when boiling water is involved! When the time is up, grab a pot holder and take the pot off the burner right away. Don’t turn off the burner and let the zoodles sit in the pot, because they will keep cooking in the hot water. Position a colander in your sink. Carefully dump the contents of the pot into the colander. Be careful, since the zoodles tend to stick together in a ball and plop out all at once. Let the boiling water drain through the colander’s holes. Make sure the zoodles drain thoroughly. You may want to jiggle the colander around a bit. If you’re concerned about soggy zoodles, lay a clean dish towel out flat on the counter. After they drain in the colander, turn them out on the towel. Lightly dab them with paper towels. Heat the sauce before adding it to the zoodles. You can try any sauce that you’d typically use for pasta, so feel free to experiment with marinara, pesto, alfredo sauce, and so on. Add cheese or nutritional yeast, if desired, and serve the zoodles immediately.

TL;DR in English: Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the zoodles to the pot and cook for 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the zoodles from heat immediately. Drain the zoodles thoroughly in a colander. Divide the noodles onto serving plates and add your favorite sauce.

If you have more than 1 color of each bra, then you should keep all of the colors separate. For example, if you have 3 nude bras and 3 black keep the nude bras together and the black bras together. If you have multiple bras of the same color, then arrange them from dark to light. If you have lots of different colors, you could arrange them in rainbow order, or as close to it as possible. For example:  If you have medium pink, burgundy, and light pink bras, arrange them from dark-to-light: burgundy, medium pink, and light pink. If you have teal, pink, blue, yellow, and purple, arrange them in rainbow order: pink, yellow, teal, blue, and purple. Chances are, you have some bras that are simple and plain for wearing every day under t-shirts, and fancier bras for special occasions. You may even have some push-up bras, sports bras, and non-molded/non-padded bras. Keep all of these bras in their own section. If you only have 1 or 2 bras of each color or type, pair them up first, then tuck similar colors/bra types into the same compartment. This way, you won't have 2 bras in 1 compartment and 1 bra in another compartment. You'll have more space for other items, such as underwear. For example:  If you have 1 white, 1 black, and 1 nude bra, put all of them into the same compartment. Keep the other colors in a different compartment. If you have only 2 non-molded bras and 1 fancy bra, keep them in 1 compartment. Keep your molded bras in a second compartment. If your weight and bra size fluctuate often, you probably own several different bra sizes. Keep the different bra sizes in order, from smallest to largest. You can also keep the size you wear the least often towards the back of your drawer. Chances are, there are some bras that you wear more than others because they look better or are more comfortable to wear. It would be much more convenient for you if you put those bras the most towards the front of your drawer, and the bras you seldom wear towards the back. If you are using a shoe cubby or a multi-bra hanger, put...
