If your dog enjoys riding in the car, take them with you as you run your weekend errands. Some dogs enjoy going through the car wash, for instance, as they like to watch the sights and sounds of the brushes cleaning the car. Some home improvement stores allow leashed dogs inside, so you can take your furry friend along with you as you go pick up paint or yard supplies.  Seeing new places and experiencing new things is always exciting and stimulating for dogs; your dog will probably have fun no matter where you go, and they’ll fall asleep exhausted and happy when you arrive home.  Never leave your dog alone in a car, especially on a hot day. Most cities have off-leash dog parks that are open to the public. If your dog loves interacting and playing with other dogs, they will have fun meeting new dog friends as you make new friends with other dog owners. Dog parks also offer plenty of opportunity for sensory stimulation, as there is plenty to see and smell. To be well-protected at the park, make sure that your dog has a good immune system and has all of their vaccinations. After a long weekend indoors, make sure to give your dog some much-deserved time outside in nature. Take them on a long walk or hike a nearby trail. For your dog’s safety and comfort, try to choose a trail with a soft leaf-covered track, without any sharp rocks or steep drop-offs. Give your dog their own backpack in which to carry water, food, and treats. Make sure that the pack fits snugly and doesn’t chafe their belly or sides. If you have a dog breed that enjoys the water, take your dog to a lake or pond and let them swim. Swimming is great exercise for dogs, and the experience of being in the water engages their senses. For dogs, one minute of swimming is the equivalent of four minutes of running! The resistance of the water makes them work harder to swim than they have to work to run on land, and this improves their overall muscle tone. If your weekend plans include meeting up with friends for a meal or a drink, don’t leave your canine...

TL;DR in English: Run errands with your dog. Visit a dog park. Go on a hike or walk. Let your pup practice their doggie-paddle. Find a dog-friendly patio. Make a play date. Play fetch at the park. Plan ahead to keep your dog entertained when traveling.

This section lists some popular exercises for getting a sexy back by strengthening your back, shoulders, and chest. You’ll need dumbbells (5 to 10 lb for women, 10 to 20 lb for men), a workout mat, and running shoes. This is a popular yoga pose that stretches and strengthens the chest, shoulders, and upper and lower back:  Lie face down on the mat, with your elbows bent and hugged in at your sides, and your hands palm down, in line with or underneath your shoulders. Your legs should be stretched straight back, with the tops of your feet flat against the floor. As you inhale, slowly straighten your arms to list your chest off the floor. As you do this press the tops of your feet and thighs, and your pelvic bone into the floor. While your chest is lifted your tailbone should draw down towards your pelvic bone, and your stomach should be firm. Your buttocks should be firm but not flexed to the point that they are hard. Draw your shoulders away from your ears so that your shoulder blades melt down your back. You should feel a lift through your sternum, without your front ribs pushing forward. Think of the back bend as being distributed evenly along your whole spine. Hold this pose for 15 to 30 seconds. If you feel comfortable with it, you can lift your legs up as well. For an added punch, you can lift your arms off the floor and hold them straight out in front of you, moving into a superman pose.  Exhale as you return to your starting position (lying face down on the mat), then repeat 9 more times (for 10 reps total). Grab a dumbbell in each hand and stand with good posture. Your feet should be hip-width apart. Throughout this exercise your arms should hang naturally at your sides.  Lift your shoulders towards your ears, as though you are shrugging. Hold for 3 seconds, and then slowly lower them back down. Repeat with 2 sets of 10 repetitions. These will help tone and build muscle in your back, arms, and abs:  Kneel on all fours, being sure to keep your hands aligned under your shoulders, and your knees aligned...

TL;DR in English: Do back, chest, and shoulder exercises 3 times a week. Do the cobra pose. Tone your upper back with shoulder shrugs. Do kneeling reverse flies. Do the bird dog exercise. Don’t forget about the classics. Go swimming. Be smart.

Take any colored A4 sheet of paper and fold it in half. To make it look more creative you can cut out strips from a different colored paper sheet and paste them on as a background. Take any scrap paper, write your birthday wish on it, and hand tear it (if you don't know about "Hand-tearing", refer to the "Tips" section). After getting the heading ready, paste it nicely on the "front page" of the card. After making the cover page, open the folded A4 sheet and create the inner portion of the card. A few ideas are listed below. On the right side of the two halves, you can write a poem or some good thoughts and decorate it nicely. For the left half, you can paste a photo of you with the birthday person and write about some beautiful memories you have together. If you don't have any photo of this person, you can either download it from social media or simply paste a small chocolate or a toffee in and write a few creative lines. You can finish decorating the card by pasting stickers applying glitter, etc. Any little extras that you think might make the card shine are good ideas.

TL;DR in English: Fold the card. Create the cover page. Open the card. Write loving words. Add a photo. Make a few final touches. Finished.

This will improve the air quality traveling through the vent system of your car. You should always apply new air freshener lightly to prevent it from being overpowering. You can do this by applying a purifying spray made from water and  hydrogen peroxide to your car's air intake. You can identify the intake by checking your car manual. You should shake the solution gently but thoroughly to mix. Spray your water/peroxide solution into your car's fresh-air intake. This spray will kill germs and mold living in your car, but it is a gentler cleaning agent than most and will not irritate your lungs or eyes. Fill a small jar with a 1/4 cup of baking soda and punch a few holes into the lid or stretch some cheesecloth across the mouth of the jar. You can put this in a cup holder or out of sight in a pocket. Add a few drops of essential oils to create a pleasant fragrance to accompany the refreshing effects of your baking soda. These will help your car fight persistent odors. If you participate in sports or a physical activity, tuck a dryer sheet in your trunk or in an interior pocket to fight strong, sports related odors.

TL;DR in English: Make a mold and germ killing spray. Refresh your car's air intake. Mix one cup of water and one tablespoon of the hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. Open doors and windows while running your car fans at full blast. Make an air freshener for your car. Hide dryer sheets under seats, floor mats, and in pockets.

There's no perfect rule to know how much you should talk and how much you should listen. The best thing to do is to notice signs of whether someone is interested or disinterested in the conversation.   Watch people's body language for clues about what they're thinking about. If someone is interested in what you're saying, they will probably look at you, make sounds like "mm hmm" or "uh huh" from time to time, and give questions or comments. If someone wants to change the subject or end the conversation, they might look away (like at a clock or a door), not talk very much, and look awkward or uncomfortable. If you don't understand someone's body language, you can ask. For example, "I notice you checking the time. Do you need to leave?" or "I have trouble reading body language sometimes. Do you want me to continue?" Sometimes people are interested in monologues, because they want to learn more about your special interests. If they ask, it's okay to dive right in! Monitor their expression, and give pauses to allow them to react, so that you can adjust the subject or answer questions as need be. While most non-autistics like eye contact, it can be distracting or unnerving to autistic people. You don't need to do things that make you uncomfortable. Depending on what you can handle, try one of these:   Watch their hands or feet. (Looking in their general direction suggests listening.) Look at their shirt, scarf, or necklace. Observe their chin, mouth, nose, hair, or forehead wrinkles. Look at their left eye briefly and then shift to their right eye. Look at the point between their eyes. Unless they're really close to you, it will appear to them that you are making eye contact. People love to feel like you're interested in them (and their interests). Ask them questions, and see how they respond. If they don't seem to like one question, you can always ask something else. (For example, maybe they don't like talking about their parents, but they love talking about their dog.) See if you can figure out what they're...

When taking body measurements, you need to use the correct type of tape measure. You will want to use a soft cloth or flexible plastic/rubber tape measure, such as is used in sewing. Do not use a metal measuring tape such as is used in construction (it will be inaccurate). Stand straight, tall, and breathe normally when taking measurements. Some measurements may be taken better when exhaling, some when inhaling (it will depend on the purpose of the measurement). This may be difficult to do yourself, so get a friend to help you. You want to be sure that when you measure, the tape is straight and in line with the appropriate body part. For example, for most circumference measurements the tape will need to be parallel to the floor while while lengths will need to be either parallel or perpendicular (based on the line orientation of the body part being measured). You can’t get a very accurate measurement when wearing baggy or thick clothing, so try to wear clothes which fit closely or wear nothing at all. Similarly, breast measurements for women will be most accurate when wearing a well-fitting, unpadded bra. If measuring for clothes tailoring, some measurements will need to be taken with clothing on, such as pants measurements and shoulder measurements. Different measurements will need to be either circumference measurements (the measurement around something) or length measurements (the measurement between two straight points). Which is necessary should be obvious but all will be indicated in the instructions below. Make sure that you write down the measurements as you take them, so that you do not forget them and need to take them again.

TL;DR in English: Use the correct type of tape measure. Stand correctly. Measure correctly. Wear appropriate clothing. Know when to measure circumference vs length. Write down your measurements.

The gas control thermostat will be on the outside of the gas tank, possibly on a nearby wall. Look for a flexible tube plugged into the side of the thermostat. It is often colored silver or red. The tube connects to the gas valve below the pilot light. Go back to the thermostat and locate the metal nut holding the thermocouple in place. Use a 7⁄16 in (11 mm) wrench to rotate the nut counterclockwise and free the thermocouple. For the test, the type of multimeter with red and black clamps is easiest to use. Flip on the multimeter’s power switch. Spin the settings dial to change the measurement to Ohms, represented by the horseshoe-shaped symbol. This is used to measure electrical resistance. For more specific instructions on operating your multimeter, read the owner’s manual. Hold the black and red clamps, or leads, apart. When you point them in opposite directions, the meter should stay to the left at infinity. Bring the leads together and watch as the meter changes to 0. Clamp the black lead over the thermocouple’s top end. This is the part you removed from the thermostat earlier and looks like a rounded nub. Take the red lead and clamp it to the tubing below the nut on the thermocouple. The tubing is either silver-colored or copper and the clamp should be applied directly onto it. Change the multimeter to volts first. Flip on the pilot light using the knob on the tank’s gas valve. This is commonly done by turning the knob to the labeled “Pilot” setting and then holding down the reset button on top of the gas valve box. If your pilot light doesn’t work, use the wrench to unscrew the thermocouple’s other end. Use a lighter or torch to hold a flame under this end. This end appears needle-shaped and is designed to take on heat, so put the tip into the flame. Give the thermocouple a minute to warm up. After the minute passes, check the multimeter’s display. If it displays millivolts, it should read between 25 and 35. If it only displays volts, look for the meter to move slightly above 0. 1 millivolt is equal to...

TL;DR in English: Locate the thermocouple on the gas control thermostat. Remove the thermocouple with a wrench. Turn on the multimeter. Test the multimeter by holding the leads together. Connect the leads to the thermocouple. Start the pilot light to begin the test. Check that the thermocouple reaches 25 millivolts. Replace the thermocouple if it is broken.

Much of your organizing will depend on how much money you’re trying to raise. Before you make other decisions, set a goal. Try to be realistic, particularly if this is your first time organizing something like this.  Your financial goal may be based on a specific need. For example, if the local church needs $5,000 to fix the roof, then $5,000 might be a good goal to shoot for. Setting a goal also means creating a budget. For example, you may want to raise $5,000; but if the cost of organizing the race will be $2,000, you’ll need to raise $7,000 in order to still make your fundraising goal. You will need money to pay for things like planning, obtaining permits, and buying supplies. One option is to seek someone to underwrite the upfront expense. This institution can then be repaid from the proceeds before the charity receives its contribution. This underwriter can be a sponsor, a local bank, or in some cases the charitable organization to which you are donating. The more money you’re trying to raise, the further in advance you’ll likely need to organize your race. That’s because more time gives you greater opportunities to do outreach, build support, and find sponsorships.  For a smaller race, you should be able to organize the event with about nine weeks notice if your committee is able to dedicate time each week to organizing. If you’re trying to draw a large number of participants from out of town, you’ll need more time to organize and get the word out. Some races like this are planned an entire year ahead of time. Other events might be competing with your event and may draw participants from your race. This is why scheduling is very important, especially during popular seasons for running. Your race will definitely need a name. Choosing a theme is optional, but it’s a great way to distinguish your race and get people excited about it.  Your name can include something about the charity you’re benefitting. For example, you could call it, “The Downtown 5k for Animals,” or, “November Walk Against Cancer.” If...

TL;DR in English: Set a financial goal. Figure out how to fund the initial costs. Set a date based on your financial goal. Choose a name and a theme. Ask your local running store for help. Choose a route. Obtain the necessary permits. Approach potential sponsors. Begin promoting your race.

Before you begin cooking, make sure that you have the following ingredients: 1 cup butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup 2% milk.  This recipe should make about eight dozen cookies. Make sure that the butter is room temperature. Turn on the oven and set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). If the oven is too hot or too cold, you will not get the crispy texture you desire. In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Once the butter is creamed, mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla. This should only take a few minutes with a stand mixer or handheld mixer. Make sure that the butter is softened but not melted. In small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Once they are thoroughly mixed, add a little of it to the butter mix. Alternate adding the flour mix and the milk until fully incorporated. Remember to mix slowly at first and speed up as the dough constitutes. Leave the dough in the mixing bowl and cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes, or until it is easily malleable. The dough should be relatively dense. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a 1/8th inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out the shapes you want. Getting the right thickness when you roll out the dough will help you get a crispier cookie. Grease a baking sheet or cover it in parchment paper. Then place the cut out cookies about two inches apart on the sheets. If the cookies are too close together, they will melt to each other. Plus the edges might not get crispy. Place the cookies in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Cooking time may vary depending on taste and oven. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and leave them on the sheets to cool. This will ensure that...

TL;DR in English: Gather your ingredients. Preheat the oven. Cream the butter and sugar. Mix your flour mixture. Refrigerate the dough. Shape the cookies. Place the cookies on a baking sheet. Bake the cookies. Cool the cookies. Finished.

Tobacco use can affect nearly every aspect of your life. Research the ways in which tobacco use can hurt you.  Tobacco use can affect your physical performance. Your lung capacity can be reduced and you will not be able to maintain physical activity. Smoking increases your risk of heart disease and higher blood pressure. You are more likely to have major cardiovascular problems later in life.   Tobacco use can be cosmetically bad. It makes your teeth yellow and can give you bad breath. Smoking can lead to lung cancer or lung disease. Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in the United States If you can avoid tobacco use as a teen, you likely will not smoke. Realize that teens are more at risk for smoking because of their brain development.   Know that the adolescent brain is not yet fully formed and is not good at decision-making. It’s harder to make healthy long-term decisions as a teen. Nicotine use in teens can also hinder brain development. Keep your brain healthy by avoiding tobacco products. Don't let tobacco use as a teen cause long-term effects for your mental and physical health. Tobacco use causes many health problems that can start in your teenage years and continue as an adult. It’s easier to never start smoking tobacco than to try to quit.  Nicotine is very addictive and encourages you to keep smoking. It rewires your brain’s reward center and gives you pleasure when you smoke. Certain situations may trigger smoking. The routine of smoking is often addictive in addition to the nicotine drug.   Smokers go through withdrawal if they quit smoking. They may even experience physical symptoms such as feeling sad, being irritable, and having difficulty sleeping.   Many who try to quit after smoking relapse. Even if you quit for a few days or weeks, it’s very easy to start smoking again  Don’t put off quitting. Many teens swear they will quit smoking after a few years, but quitting is more difficult the longer you smoke

Before you get started, make sure that you have everything you will need to crochet a snowflake. You will need:  White or cream colored lightweight yarn. A size 0 crochet hook. A darning needle. Scissors. Pins. A piece of cardboard. A bowl. Water. White glue (optional). Wrap a piece of yarn around your finger three times. Slide your crochet hook under the first two loops and use it to pull the third loop under the first two. This will result in your first two loops. You will use that as the foundation to base the rest of your snowflake around. Make sure that you keep these loops loose. Do not tighten them after you slip them off your finger. When you’re done, double crochet through your central loops to attach the end. To do this, insert the crochet hook into the center of the loops and loop the yarn over the crochet hook on the other side. Then, pull the yarn through with the hook to secure it to the central loops. You should now have a chain loop extending from the loops that you made with your fingers. Next, chain two and then double crochet into the central loop again. Continue to follow this pattern of chaining two and double crocheting until you have five chain loops extending from your central loops. Then, finish by chaining two. Once you have five chain loops around your central loops, you will need to tighten the central loops. Doing so will create the center for your snowflake. Gently tug on the yarn, pulling the chain loops closer together. Then, pull on the tail of the yarn to finish tightening the center. After you have tightened the center, insert your crochet hook into the top stitch of the chain of five and crochet through it. This is called a slipstitch and it will secure the last two stitches you chained and complete your first round. You should have six spaces in the round you just crocheted. It should look a bit like a pie cut into slices. Slip stitching is also known as joining in some crochet patterns. Chain three loops and then double crochet through the first chain two space that you...

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Crochet your first loop. Chain five stitches extending from the loop. Chain two and double crochet into the central loop. Tighten the yarn. Slipstitch into the first chain of five loops. Begin the second round by chaining three. Slipstitch the loops in place.

To apply a cream denture adhesive, it is generally recommended to dab three to four small circles of cream (approximately the size of a pencil eraser) on both your upper and lower dentures prior to inserting them in your mouth. Do not use more than this if you want to be able to easily remove your dentures later. You know you used too much if excess cream drips off your dentures after you have inserted them. Another option is to use a powder adhesive. Sprinkle some powder on both your upper and lower dentures prior to inserting them in your mouth, and shake the dentures to spread the powder around. You will want to use an amount similar to sprinkling icing sugar on a cake. There is no benefit to using more than the recommended amount of denture adhesive. Using more will not improve the hold, so follow the instructions on the label or the directions from your dentist. Also, do not use adhesive more than once per day. Finally, adhesive is not to be used as a substitute for poorly fitting dentures. If you are concerned about the fit of your dentures, book a visit with your dentist as soon as you can. When you no longer have your teeth, your jaw bone will dissolve over time. This will cause the fit of your dentures to change as well as they lack the support of the jaw bone.

TL;DR in English: Use a cream denture adhesive. Try a powder denture adhesive. Be cautious when using denture adhesive.

Cell phones are easily the greatest distraction in modern society. Research indicates that, on average, people check their cell phones 150 times every day, or every six minutes in a 16 hour day. This cacophony does not promote a peaceful environment.   Simply turn off all nonessential notifications – facebook, twitter, game updates, and email – as your default setting. Make a few scheduled times throughout the day to check all your notifications. Work on your time-management skills. It is not uncommon to have several unfinished projects lined up around the house or work. The list may seem unending — household chores, unanswered mail, balancing the checkbook, hungry pets — but many of these projects can be completed in rather short time if you focus on completing them immediately.   Adopt a “one-minute rule” mentality as most of unfinished chores can be completed in less than two minutes. By completing these projects as quickly as possible, it will remove many of the small, irritable distractions you deal with on a daily basis. Keep a short to-do list to keep your day organized and efficient. By writing your tasks down on a piece of paper, you can let that thought leave your mind. An unclean environment is not pleasant to anybody’s eyes and a large amount of clutter lying around causes stress. Eyes are very attentive and subtly pick up many details of the surrounding area. Clutter does not allow you to focus your thoughts or attention because of all the visual distractions.   Clean your desk, walls, and counters in your home and office of all unnecessary possessions so that you are not easily distracted. The same goes for digital clutter. Dozens of desktop icons, opened programs, games, or instant messaging all compete for attention. Removing these items will help your focus. Or, cancel your cable or satellite subscription.

You will need this wire to make the connections from your amplifier to your sub-woofers.  12- to 16 gauge speaker wire is recommended for use with subwoofers. See How to Wire Speakers for tips on connecting speaker wires. Check to see which two terminals are used for bridge mode on your amplifier. This will be labeled on the amp. Wire the first sub by running a wire from the positive terminal on the amp to the positive bridge terminal on the sub. If you wish to wire them in series, run a single wire from the negative terminal of the first sub to the positive terminal of the second sub. If you wish to wire them in parallel you will run two wires between the two subs. The firs will connect the two positive terminals, and the second will connect the two negative terminals. Connect the wire from the second sub's negative terminal to the negative bridge terminal on the amp. This will complete the circuit whether you are wiring in parallel or in series.

TL;DR in English: Get a roll of stereo wire. Wire the amplifier to the subwoofers. Wire the second subwoofer to the first subwoofer. Complete the circuit.

Control-top pantyhose have a very tight upper portion that may work as a binder. Usually, this is a safe option if it’s used occasionally. It’s best to use a new pair because it will be tighter. However, you can use an old pair of pantyhose if that’s what you have. You’re going to be wearing the pantyhose upside down over your head, so you need to remove the legs. Cut them at the base of the torso area or at around the mid-thigh level, depending on how you want to wear your pantyhose binder. Discard the legs of the pantyhose because you won’t need them. Your head is going to go through the crotch of the pantyhose, so you need a hole for it. Use your scissors to cut out the crotch of the hose. This should turn your pantyhose into a tank top or a small short-sleeved shirt. Make sure you cut away all of the cotton portion of the crotch. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to stretch it out for your head to fit through. Put your head through the hole in your crotch. Then, put your arms through the holes where the legs were. Finally, pull the control-top portion down over your chest. Adjust your breasts so they’re as flat as possible. You might sweat more while wearing a pantyhose binder because the material typically holds in sweat.

TL;DR in English: Use a pair of control-top pantyhose as a temporary option. Use scissors to cut the legs off of the pantyhose. Cut a hole in the crotch of the pantyhose for your neck. Pull the pantyhose over your head with the waistband at the bottom.

Use Comcast Xfinity Speed Test to find out what your download and upload speeds actually are. This will be used as a diagnostic tool. . If your connection seems to drop off during peak hours or partway through downloads, Comcast may be throttling your bandwidth. Compare the speeds you got from the test to the speed level which you're paying for. You may have to call Comcast to find this out. You can also ask about possible throttling, if you discovered this during the previous step. If you are getting the speed you're paying for but find that this is too slow, you may want to upgrade. Are several people in your house all using the internet at once? Is anyone downloading something big, like a movie or playing an online game? This can significantly slow your internet. Much like the above, if your neighbors are putting pressure on your bandwidth by using your internet, everyone will have slower internet. Some areas will simply have very slow internet. If you live in a major city, or a newer city, this should not be a problem. However, if you live in a rural area or an area which has not seen recent infrastructure updating, Comcast's connection equipment may simply be dated. Call Comcast for more information.

Leave a trail in your home of flower petals, a favorite candy, or some other small item that will lead him or her to you, waiting in the bedroom, when he or she gets home. When you've been married a long time, it's easy to get comfortable wearing the same old granny panties or rumpled boxer shorts you bought five years ago. Go out and buy some new underwear or some exciting lingerie. You can keep your new, sexy undergarments a secret until you are ready to be intimate, or you can build anticipation by leaving them out sometime when you are going to be gone in the evening, with a note saying "wait up for me tonight," or something along those lines. Many couples, after awhile, get into a rut when it comes to intimacy. There are certain days or times that it's most convenient to make love, and so that's when it happens. Surprise your spouse by initiating sex at an unusual time.  Do it in the middle of the day, or the middle of the night. Or, wake him or her up with your advances.  You can also break the routine by doing it somewhere other than the bedroom. Send the kids over to a friend's house and make love on the couch or in the kitchen. Or, be daring and try it somewhere outside your home. Take some time when your spouse isn't around and practice. Work up a routine that looks great. Then, tell you spouse to sit back and enjoy the view. Pick a costume and some sexy music. If you don't feel confident about working up a routine yourself, look for tips or a tutorial online. Practice until you get it right, and then surprise your spouse.

TL;DR in English: Leave a trail. Wear something seductive. Break the routine. Do a striptease.

Car seats are tested for their performance in crashes, and various safety organizations publish the results. These organizations and safety ratings vary by country; Australia, for example, has some of the strictest safety ratings for car seats. In Canada, Transport Canada publishes information about car seats. In the United States, consult Consumer Reports or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for information about safety ratings. Additional information can also be found at the National Child Passenger Safety Board’s website. If a particular car seat has defects in it, its manufacturer may have issued a recall. The car seat would then be returned to the manufacturer for a new seat or a refund. When you are looking into different car seats and brands, check to see if there have been any recalls on the particular car seat model or the brand itself. Search online for “car seat recall” to find the most up-to-date information. All car seats have basic features that will ensure a solid level of safety and comfort for your infant. Many car seats do, however, have additional features. These might include additional side-impact cushioning, extra padding all around the seat, or an anti-rebound bar at the foot of the car seat. At the end of a major crash, during the rebound, the car seat might bounce up and hit the seat in front of it. The anti-rebound bar, available in newer seats, is intended to minimize the impact that the car seat will take. There should be one strap per limb: one for each upper arm and one for each thigh, as well as one for the area between the child's legs. There are alternative restraint systems, such as plastic shields and T-bar restraints, but the strap system is more customizable, which can make the seat more comfortable for your child’s size. Starting in 2002, all infant car seats were required to be compatible with the LATCH system, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. The LATCH system allows infant car seats to attach directly into a car seat rather than being...

TL;DR in English: Research safety ratings for a range of car seats. Pay attention to recalls. Consider the car seat’s safety features. Make sure the infant car seat has a 5-point safety harness. Choose an infant car seat with LATCH tethers. Only buy or borrow used seats from trusted family or friends.

It can be frustrating trying to meet the right guy. It might make you anxious, or even sad. That's normal, but those types of thoughts won't help you to find a boyfriend. Shift your mindset so that you focus on thinking positive thoughts.  Release negativity. If you find yourself thinking, "You'll never meet someone", let that thought go. Replace it with a thought like, "I'm proud of myself for putting in effort." Try a gratitude journal. Spend 5-10 minutes a day writing down things you are thankful for. This will help you reflect on the positive aspects of your life. You could write things such as, "I'm grateful that my best friend and I both got cast in the school play" or "I'm glad my parents trust and respect me." Try to spend some time each day reflecting on what you most like about yourself. You can choose any attributes you like! You can give yourself compliments out loud, or you can try writing them down.  For example, you might look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself, "You have a great smile!" You might leave yourself a note on your laptop that says, "You are an excellent writer!" Try hanging a note in your locker that says something like, "You're an awesome singer!" Conquering your goals is a great way to build your confidence. First, set specific goals. Remember to include both long term and short term goals. Then, make a plan to achieve each one.  A short term goal could be, "Avoid going out to eat for 1 week." You can accomplish this goal by meal planning and packing lunches to take to work. A long term goal might be, "Get promoted in 1 year." Write down specific ways to accomplish this, such as taking on more responsibility at work. You could try, "Make the honor roll this semester" or "Join a new after school club". Checking each goal off of your list will be a serious confidence boost! In today's society, it is easy to feel like you might be overweight. It can be hard to feel good about yourself when constantly faced with photos of super thin celebrities. Try to remember, these...

TL;DR in English: Think positively. Focus on your strengths. Achieve goals. Build a positive body image. Take care with your appearance. Exercise to boost your mood.

Easier said than done! You may be able to determine the age based on clues in the design. Look for historical events or figures, or try to pick out words on the stamp. Exact years are not typically printed on stamps, so it can be quite difficult figure out exactly how old your stamp is.  Head to an expert stamp dealer if you need extra help. The older the stamp is, the more valuable it will be--so it’s worth the extra effort! Stamps printed within the last 70 years, even those in mint condition, probably won’t be valued any higher than they were originally. As with the stamp’s age, look for historical figures or events on the stamp, or words--knowing the language can help you narrow down the country. A picture of Queen Victoria, for example, is probably from 19th-early 20th century Great Britain, while a picture of the Hoover Dam may be mid-century American. Depending on your stamp, it might be easier to identify it before you try to determine the age and country of origin. After you’ve looked over the stamp’s physical condition, you’ll know enough about it to be able to find it in a reference book.  American stamp collectors often use the Scott Specialized Catalogue (now available in an e-book format as well), while British philatelists tend to use the Stanley Gibbons catalogue. Check out your local library to see what options you have. You can try looking at online resources and catalogues as well, but do so with a grain of salt. They may not be as accredited or accurate as reference books. The stamp’s rarity will depend on its age and quantity in its initial print run. The rarer the stamp, the higher the value; some stamp collectors even say that rarity is the single most important factor in determining stamp value, more than condition or age. Check in reference books or with a professional dealer to figure out the initial print run of your stamp. An old stamp won’t necessarily be rare and valuable. The 1861 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamps, for example, aren’t very valuable because about 150 million of...

TL;DR in English: Figure out the age of the stamp. Determine the stamp’s country of origin. Identify the stamp with a reference book. Determine the rarity of the stamp. Keep an eye out for error stamps.

Hawaii has a fast-paced environment and you'll likely be on the go a lot during your trip. As you'll want to see a lot of different attractions, it's a good idea to buy clothing that does not require a lot of extra care. It's a good idea to pack clothes you can hand wash in the sink, like light t-shirts, so you can clean clothes quickly and re-wear them the next day. Another bonus of easily washable clothing is that it cuts down on how much you'll have to pack. If you're traveling a long distance, it may make more sense to pack light. In Hawaii, casual wear is typical for much of the day. Therefore, it's a good idea to opt for light clothing. Go for casual t-shirts and shorts for the daytime hours in Hawaii.  If you're not a fan of shorts, jeans, leggings, or capris can also be acceptable attire. Breezy, lightweight tops are a good idea if you're not into t-shirts. It's usually fairly warm in Hawaii during the day, so do not pack anything too heavy. You may plan on doing some hiking during your vacation. Hawaii has a wide array of fun, tropical hikes you can take with a tour guide or on your own. If you plan to do hiking in Hawaii, make sure you pack slacks or jeans for daytime hikes. You should make sure to purchase other hiking equipment, like water bottles, prior to leaving for your trip. Hiking equipment can be hard to come by on certain Hawaiian islands, and it may be far pricier than on the mainland. Swimsuits are another vital piece of clothing for a Hawaii vacation. Pack a few different swimsuits for your journey, choosing a type you feel comfortable and confident in. You should also buy something light to put over a swimsuit. At many hotels, it's perfectly acceptable to wear a light slip over your swimsuit for breakfast and lunch at local restaurants.  You can usually find slips or cover-ups for swimsuits at a department store near the swimsuit aisle. You may want to bring a couple of swimsuits, especially if you plan on hitting the beach a lot. If one swimsuit gets wet or dirty, you should have a...

TL;DR in English: Select clothes that do not need a lot of care. Go for T-shirts and shorts on most days. Bring slacks for daytime hiking. Have a few swimsuits and slips. Select a range of appropriate footwear.

Lymphatic massage works best if you are relaxed. Start in a room that is quiet and free from distraction. Listen to soothing music like ocean sounds or rain noise. Get into a position that is comfortable for you. Many people lie on their backs. Some people sit up and others stand. Choose what works for you since this is supposed to help you feel better. You may want to experiment with different positions to see what works for you. Before you start your massage, spend a few moments relaxing. You want to get your mind and body relaxed to help the massage be as effective as possible. Take around five deep breaths. Inhale slowly, hold for a moment, then exhale slowly. Try to keep up this slow, steady breathing through the massage. Remember, focus on getting to a calm state. You want to start at the top of your body and go down. Start by massaging both sides of your neck. You can do one side at the time, or you can cross your arms and massage both sides at the same time. Place the pads of the second and third fingers on the outer edge of your neck, just above the collarbone. Shrug your shoulders. Your fingers should be in the dip.  Stretch the skin gently with light pressure towards the sternum. The stretch should last for three seconds. Keep the fingers above the collarbone. Repeat 10 times. Next, you should massage the side and back of your neck. Once again, you can do one side at a time or together. Position your palms flat against the side of your neck, right under your ears. Stretch the skin back and down, towards the back of your body. Repeat 10 times. Gently rest your fingers on the back of your neck. They should be underneath your hairline and on each side of the neck. Using gently pressure, stretch the skin downwards towards your shoulders. Release. Repeat 10 times. You can do the same stretch on the front of your neck.

TL;DR in English: Get in a comfortable position. Begin with deep breathing. Start with your collarbone. Massage the side of the neck. Stretch the back of the neck.

At some point, you may be caught in a lie and it is obvious you can’t get out of it. Someone may have found video that proves you lied, or documents of some kind. Rather than extend the lie and make things worse, admit what you did and face the consequences.  You will usually gain some credibility back with the person by admitting it rather than lying again. Learn from your mistakes and try to avoid them the next time you need to lie about something. This may seem counterintuitive, but you will soon find that a huge amount of weight will be lifted from you, and you won't have to keep in your lie. Once you admit the lie, you are likely to be questioned further. Do not try to justify why you lied, but explain what your thought process was. Tell the person why you felt you needed to lie and why the truth would not have worked for you. The person may not accept your explanation or may say it does not make sense or is not good enough. Do not argue, but affirm to them that you stand by your reasoning, even if it ended up being wrong. Lying is likely to cause damage in one way or another, so once you are caught, you will have to fix things. Give the person some concrete steps you plan to take to remedy the situation. Be honest about what you are going to do and then follow through on doing it. The things you need to fix may not be problems as much as strained relationships. You may need to do some emotional work to show your remorse and make up for the lie.

TL;DR in English: Admit that you lied and apologize. Explain why you lied without making it an excuse. Tell the person how you will make up for it.

You must bring certain documents to your interview so that the asylum officer can confirm your identity.  Bring a form of identification such as a passport. Bring a copy of your Form I-589 and originals of documents you submitted with your Form I-589 (marriage certificates, birth certificates, etc.) If you included a spouse and/or child under the age of 21 in your application, you should bring them to the interview. Your lawyer should have an idea of what questions you will be asked and how you should answer. Try to meet with your lawyer, even if only briefly, to talk about the interview. Generally you can expect to be asked the following:   Provide specific examples of persecution you either experienced or were aware of. Explain the difficulties you anticipate if you return to your home country. Describe the route taken to arrive in the United States. Explain how you got the money to travel to the United States. List any criminal charges pending against you or any persecution of others you committed in the United States or elsewhere. Provide information that proves you belong to a persecuted group. For example, if you claim to belong to a religious group, you may have to answer questions about the religion to show that you are a follower. Your interview will typically be held within 45 days of your affirmative asylum application, although you may have to wait longer if USCIS is experiencing a deluge of applications.  Your attorney may also attend. The interview should last about an hour.  If you need a translator, you will need to hire one at your own expense. USCIS has translators on site, but they are used only to confirm that your own translator is translating accurately. If you apply for affirmative asylum, USCIS has 180 days to make a decision on your application. Because the department is sometimes overwhelmed with applications, you might have to wait longer.  If you applied for defensive asylum, the asylum officer will make a decision relatively quickly. You will be given a written decision.   If the...

Food that gets caught in a wisdom teeth wound may be uncomfortable, but it alone should not cause an infection. Healing can still take place even if food gets caught, and it's more important to avoid touching or probing the wound. Clots in the gums may appear gray and fibrous, like food particles. Cleaning too vigorously in this case may remove the clot and cause further complications. This is especially important during the first 24 hours after surgery. Gradually move from soft foods to semi-soft foods as your wound heals. It's generally best to avoid hard, chewy, crunchy, and spicy foods, as these are most prone to pooling in the socket and causing irritation or infection.  Chew on the opposite side or your mouth from the extraction site. Avoid eating foods that are too hot or cold foods. Go for room temperature foods during the first two days. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Don't shake hands with people for a week or so. Don't share toothbrushes or other implements with others. You want to make sure that you don't pick up a secondary infection that could tax your immune system. Some bleeding will be common over the first few days following a tooth extraction. If you experience any of the following symptoms, however, you should contact your dentist or oral surgeon immediately.  Excessive bleeding (more than a slow ooze) Pus in the wound Difficulty swallowing/breathing Fever Swelling that increases after two or three days Blood or pus in nasal mucus Throbbing, dull pain after the first 48 hours Bad breath after three days Pain that is not reduced after taking painkillers

TL;DR in English: Don't panic. Don't confuse a clot with food. Stick to soft foods. Avoid sources of contamination. Know when to seek professional help.

After you have washed your hair, apply a deep conditioner and tuck your hair under a shower cap. Wait for 15 to 30 minutes before washing the deep conditioner out. Fill a spray bottle two-thirds of the way with water, and one-third of the way with a leave-in conditioner. Close the bottle and shake it to mix everything up. Spray the mixture into your hair until it is damp, then apply a rich, conditioning cream. Heat up 1 to 2 tablespoons (14.8 to 29.6 ml) of oil (like coconut oil or olive oil) and comb it through your hair. Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap and wait 20 to 30 minutes. Once the time is up, rinse the oil out, then wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner.  If you have very thick or very long hair, you may need to use more oil. To make the mask even more effective, sit under the hot sun or a dryer. The heat will help your hair absorb the oil better. Alternatively, you can apply the oil to your hair, wear a plastic shower cap, and sit under a hair dryer for a similar effect. Place 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of honey and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of coconut oil into a microwave-safe dish. Heat them in the microwave until the coconut oil melts, and stir to combine. Comb the mask through your hair, then tuck your hair under a plastic shower cap. Wait 30 to 40 minutes, then rinse the mask out using warm water and shampoo.  If you don't have any coconut oil, you can use olive oil instead. Honey is wonderful for hair because it helps seal in moisture. In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of olive oil, 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of honey, and ¼ cup (65 grams) of plain, Greek yogurt. Apply the mask to your damp hair, then tuck your hair under a plastic shower cap. Wait for 15 to 20 minutes, then wash the mask out with warm water and shampoo. In a small bowl, mash together a ripe avocado and 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of olive oil. For extra nourishment and hydration, add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of honey. Apply the mask to damp hair, then tuck your hair under a plastic shower cap. Wait 15 to 60 minutes, then...

TL;DR in English: Use a store-bought deep conditioning treatment once a week. Make and use a simple spray-on conditioning treatment. Use a hot oil treatment for something quick and easy. Try a simple honey and coconut oil mask. Make a honey, oil, and yogurt mask to hydrate and strengthen your hair. Try a nourishing avocado and oil mask if your hair is brittle and dry. Make a banana-honey mask to hydrate your hair and prevent breakage.

If your itching is caused by sunburn, make sure to apply sunscreen to any exposed skin when going outside.  If your skin is particularly sensitive to the sun, avoid sunshine during peak hours. These means anywhere between 10AM and 2PM. Peak hours are based on peaks in UV radiation and not sunlight itself. Therefore, the timeframe remains the same year-round.  SPF levels are somewhat deceitful. A sunscreen that has an SPF of 50, for example, is not actually twice as protective as one with an SPF of 25. Choose brands based on what they protect against rather than SPF levels. Look for brands that specifically protect against UVA and UVB rays. These are usually labeled "broad spectrum." While SPF levels aren't the best measure of a sunscreen's strength, it's important to understand most dermatologists recommend a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above. Dry skin can become itchy easily, so using high quality moisturizers can help reduce the likelihood of skin itch.  High quality moisturizers include Cetaphil, Eucerin, and CeraVe. They can be purchased at most drug stores without prescription.  Apply creams once or twice daily, especially when getting out of the shower, after shaving or exercise, or other activities that dry out or irritate skin. Your itching may be caused by exposure to allergens or skin irritants. If you suspect your skin's itchiness is in response to an irritant, limit your exposure.  Common causes of allergic reaction in skin are nickel, jewelry, perfume, skin products with fragrances, cleaning products, and some cosmetics. If itchiness seems to occur in response to a particular product, cease use.  Scented laundry detergents are known to cause skin itchiness. Try to buy natural detergents that don't contain added scents.  Use mild, unscented soaps, conditioners, and lotions when possible.

TL;DR in English: Apply sunscreen when needed. Use moisturizers. Avoid any known irritants.

Visit your local nursery or garden store to pick out basil seeds you'd like to plant, or you can buy them online. You can often buy a packet containing over 100 seeds at a very low price. If you're buying the seeds online, do some research to find out which websites have the best seeds. Basil needs nutrient-rich soil that is able to drain water easily in order to grow into a healthy plant. You can find well-draining potting soil at a garden store, as well as online. The container should offer sufficient drainage and can be made of clay, plastic, stone, or concrete. Use a spray bottle filled with water to give the soil a little moisture before filling the container up with soil so that it’s not quite full.  Look for drainage holes in the bottom regardless of the material. These are critical to ensure good drainage and a healthy plant. Be sure to use a tray underneath your pot to prevent water from coming out of the holes and leaking all over. A regular clay pot is a popular option, or seedling trays made of plastic. If you’re using small seedling trays, try to place about 3 seeds in each tray. If you’re using a larger pot, scatter 5-7 seeds on top of the soil, placing them evenly apart from one another.  It’s important to plant more than 1 seed in each tray in case some of them don’t end up sprouting. Aim for spreading the seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart from one another. You don’t need to press the seeds into the soil. You don’t need to add a thick layer, just enough to cover the seeds you’ve just planted—a layer of roughly 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). This will be just thick enough to protect the seeds while also helping them grow. Avoid packing down the soil once it’s in the container. Use a spray bottle filled with water to spray the soil with a little bit more moisture—especially the added top layer. If you don’t have a spray bottle, run your hands under a faucet or dip them in a cup of water and sprinkle the water over the soil using your fingers.  Place the pot or container on top of a tray to catch any...

TL;DR in English: Purchase basil seeds from a reliable source. Use coarse, well-draining soil to plant the seeds in. Fill ¾ of a container with the soil. Scatter the seeds into the container of soil. Cover the seeds with a sprinkling of dry soil. Add additional moisture to the soil using a spray bottle. Place the container in a sunny spot indoors. Watch your basil seeds germinate after 5-10 days.

Again, steel wool or 600 to 1200-grit sandpaper will work to remove any loose rust, scarring, or pitting from the gun metal. If you plan to remove the gun's finish from the factory before bluing, some recommend using a phosphoric acid-based automotive rust remover to do so. Others use white vinegar, which contains acetic acid, for this purpose. The 19th-century gunsmiths who used this process likely did not have access to the chemicals used to clean gun metal for hot bluing, but the chemical cleaning improves the effectiveness of the bluing. You can use any of the chemicals described in the cleaning step for hot bluing and then rinse the cleaner off in the manner described in the rinsing step. The acid solution actually encourages the metal to rust, but to do so uniformly.  Instead of coating the parts with the acid solution, you can instead place an opened container of the acid solution with the gun parts in a cabinet and seal it for a period of 12 hours. The acid evaporates from its container and condenses around the gun metal. This method is called fume bluing. Another variation is to coat the gun metal parts with the rust bluing solution and then put them into a fume cabinet (or, in this case, a damp cabinet) for the same 12 hours. Often, a first layer is applied as a primer before coating the parts a second time and then placing them in the damp cabinet. This stops the rusting process by removing the acid solution. The surface rust is normally removed with a carding brush or wheel, which features very soft and thin wire bristles. In some cases, the metal may develop as deep a coloring as it can, making further bluing treatments unnecessary and ineffective. The oil inhibits the formation of rust and protects the metal finish from dirt, sweat, body oil, and wear. Once you've applied the oil, let the parts stand overnight before assembling.

TL;DR in English: Polish the parts to be blued. Clean away any dirt, oil, or grease that remains chemically. Coat the gun metal parts with a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid. Immerse the gun metal parts in boiling distilled water. Scrub away the red oxide rust that has formed, leaving the black oxide finish underneath. Repeat the acid treatment, boiling, and scrubbing until you have achieved the desired level of bluing. Coat the gun parts with oil.

Fine-patterned fishnets look elegant and classy rather than racy and flirty. Choose these if you want to create polished, professional outfits with fishnets. Look for a pattern of fishnet with a very small weave at most clothing and department stores. The smaller the pattern, the easier it is to suggest sophistication. There are all sorts of fishnet patterns to choose from! Go with an oval or circular shape for a subtle, classy style, or go for a diamond or abstract pattern for a touch of style and glam. With whatever pattern you choose, you can easily create elegant looks. Neutral-colored fishnets look best if you are wearing them to work, while running errands, or out to brunch. Pair your tights with other neutral-colored garments, such as denim, khaki, black, or navy.  For example, style brown fishnets with a brown skirt and a cream-colored blouse for a work-appropriate option. Wear nude fishnets with a black A-line skirt for an elegant accent. If you want to add a pop of color to your evening style, try blue, pink, or purple fishnets. This is a great idea if you are going out on a date, to a concert, or out to a club. To keep your outfit elegant, style your colored fishnets with neutral tops and bottoms. This way, you look mature and classy. If you wear colored tights during the day, it can look juvenile.

TL;DR in English: Go with a fine mesh weave fishnet pattern. Choose from oval, circle, diamond, or abstract shaped tight patterns. Select black, brown, or nude fishnets to wear with daytime outfits. Choose colored fishnets for a flirty nighttime touch.

During the brainstorming session, you'll need to be capable of letting some ideas go. You won't be able to fit everything you want to say into one speech, so don't try to give a detailed biography of your grandparent's entire life. Think about specific memories of your grandparent: times you spent together, occasions that strike you as being definitive of your grandparent's personality, and so on. Write everything down, and don't feel obligated to include everything that makes the list.  Ask yourself what qualities best describe your grandparent.  Consider what set your grandparent apart from anyone else you know.  If your grandparent had certain hobbies or passions in life, you may want to mention those. But there's no need to make these the focus of your eulogy, as it should be primarily about the departed's role as your grandparent. The focus of your eulogy should be on how the departed was a caring grandparent in your life. But that doesn't mean you can't open up to other people who knew your grandparent. Asking your parents or aunts/uncles about their relationship with your grandparent might be a good place to start. You could even ask any close friends of your grandparent what their favorite memories are of your grandparent. It might help give you some ideas on how other people knew your grandparent, and why your grandparent was important to people outside your family. When speaking with others about your grandparent, you may want to consider asking how and when they first met your grandparent (if there is no familial relation), what their favorite memories are with your grandparent, and what your grandparent's best qualities were. The answers may vary greatly from your own list if the person was a friend rather than a relative of your grandparent, which can help you open your eulogy to include how others saw your grandparent. As you comb over the memories you have of your grandparent, look for moments that characterize your grandparent best. Did he/she ever say or do something that has always made you...

Pronunciations come after the word inside /.../; please come to them after finishing this "How to." vowels (vocale /vo-ka-le/), consonants (consonante /kon-so-nan-te/), double (doppio /dop-pjo/) consonants, silent (muto /mu-to/). Some vowels come as diphthong similar to American pronunciation of letter 'a' in "hand," contrasted with British (diphthongs are also called as double vowels). For example,  'e' in English word "mate" is not pronounced, but it is a hint to contrast it with mat. In English this hint already was in the form of a diphthong, "mayt" which still exists in "Cockney" British accent. The same 'e' in Italian "pane" (bread /pa-ne/) keeps 'a' without hint and is pronounced independently: 'a' like 'a' in English "car" and 'e' sounds like 'a' in English "pay". Few words end to u. Few words end to a consonant. In Italian words there is no j, k, w, x, y. These letters might be used to express pronunciation of words in international phonetics symbols. Do not confuse them with Italian alphabets.

TL;DR in English: Learn pronunciation of Italian divides in  Note diphthongs (dittongo /dit-tɔn-go/). Note also that in Italian all vowels are pronounced. Notice that all the Italian words end to a, e, i, and o.

The media and society glorify youth and tend to portray growing older – even when you’re only just turning thirty – as a negative or upsetting experience.  In fact, many people find their quality of life improves after thirty.  Don’t buy into the myth perpetuated by the beauty industry, glossy fashion magazines, and Hollywood movies that you need to be between the ages of 18-25 to have an exciting, fulfilling, beautiful life.  As you grow older, you might begin to have more disposable income.  Look forward to the opportunities this will afford you. Sexual satisfaction tends to increase as we age.  As you gain confidence in the bedroom and become more comfortable with your own sexuality, you might feel more willing to experiment.  If you’re married or in a long-term relationship, the intimacy you have with your partner can deepen your sexual satisfaction.  Celebrate the  relationships in your life that really matter.  Make the most of one-on-one time with friends and/or your partner. You now have at least thirty years of experience behind you on which to draw.  Wisdom comes as we age.  Look back on past mistakes and regrets in order to make better decisions tomorrow. Some people think that as they age, things become more clear, choices become easier to make, and the correct path becomes more obvious.  In fact, uncertainty and ambiguity are a part of life no matter what your age.  While this might scare some people, learning to enjoy the possibilities and opportunities life offers is an important aspect of growing in your 30s.  Feel excited and thankful for the spontaneity you’re afforded each day.  In situations of uncertainty, recognize that your information is not complete.  If you have an opportunity to improve upon or extend that information, wait to do so, but do not wait to make a decision based on the possibility of new information coming in. For instance, if you’ve been offered a promotion which requires you move to Germany, read a bit about German culture, society, and life.  If possible, converse...

Many country clubs offer different levels of membership, and each level has different costs associated with it. Regular or full members will have unrestricted access to the country club's services and grounds, but this level of membership also carries the most expensive fees. House or social members have limited access to many of the grounds. Some parts of the club, like the restaurant and pool, might still be open without restriction, though. Nonresident members pay the least amount in fees, but the club only opens certain services to them. The amount of time you can use those services and grounds will also be restricted. Many posh and executive country clubs will only allow you to join on referral. In these instances, it is best to look for 1 or 2 sponsors before you fill out the application. In many cases, these referrals come from your friends or work associates. The sponsor and co-sponsor will usually need to submit a letter of recommendation in your favor. If you don’t know anyone who belongs to a country club, ask around at your work to see if someone is a member. Get to know that person and then, when you feel comfortable, ask them for a recommendation. In most cases, applications can be obtained by contacting the Membership Director of whichever country club you’re looking to join. This application will ask for basic contact information, a photo ID, and the names of your sponsors. The application will also ask about your family and hobbies. Additionally, many country clubs will require you to agree to a credit and background check.  These checks are done to verify that you will be able and likely to pay your membership. Some country clubs make the application available on their website. A poor credit rating will decrease your odds of acceptance. Once your application, background check, and credit check clear, you will be asked to schedule an interview. It takes about 2 weeks for the club to process your information and set up an in-person interview. You’ll speak with a few current members about a...

TL;DR in English: Inquire about the different membership levels. Find a sponsor to give you a referral. Fill out the application. Attend an interview with membership committee members. Tour the grounds with the membership committee members. Pay the initiation fee invoice if you’ve been accepted.

In order to train your Rottweiler most effectively, you want to start training him as early as possible to establish acceptable behavior. From puppies to older dogs, Rottweilers respond well to training with the proper guidance from early on in your relationship.  Start training immediately.  No matter how old your Rottweiler is, you will be most successful if you start training him early.  You will be most successful if you train your Rottweiler between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 months.  If you got your Rottweiler at an older age, it’s important to not be discouraged. You can train him as soon as he joins your family. Just know that it may take a little more time, effort, and patience on your part.  Remember that Rottweilers are intelligent, obedient, and loyal companions that want to make you happy. Proper communication with your Rottweiler will help you to train him at any age. When you train your Rottweiler, you want to establish rules that he will follow so that he behaves properly. By understanding that dominance in the relationship with your Rottweiler doesn’t mean dominating him, you are more likely to encourage the behaviors you seek.  Dominance means establishing rules your Rottweiler will follow by reinforcing them with a firm voice or hand motions that indicate he is a member of a pack that you lead. You can be dominant and firm while being kind and careful with your Rottweiler. For example, the best way to establish this dominance is to take your Rottweiler for a walk on a leash and have him heel beside or behind you.  Don’t dominate your Rottweiler through verbal or physical aggression. This will will only cause him to fear you and undermine your training plan. Rottweilers can exhibit aggressive behavior at any age. Rottweilers can get aggressive with people and other dogs. Identifying aggression and actively managing it with training can help prevent your Rottweiler exhibiting this behavior in the future.  A Rottweiler may not show aggression immediately because he is an observer by nature. The...

TL;DR in English: Start training your dog as soon as possible. Understand dominance. Identify and manage aggressive behavior. Socialize your Rottweiler. Keep training sessions short. Be patient with your Rottweiler. Use positive reinforcement and avoid physical discipline and yelling. React to behaviors promptly.

Generally, $20 to $25 is the recommended cap on cost for gifts, but you should adjust that amount to suit the situation. For casual gatherings, a smaller amount might be appropriate. Likewise, if it’s just a silly game for kids, it will probably be more fun with small, inexpensive toys than bigger items. Give them the price range, and let them know that they should wrap whatever they bring.  If the game will include all ages, ask guests to label any adult items, such as alcoholic beverages. Likewise, if they bring a toy, they can label it specifically for children.e Specify in advance whether they should bring silly gag gifts or something small but nice, just so all of your guests are on the same page. Write numbers on pieces of paper from one up through the total number of participants. Have each person to take one. This will determine the order that they go in to pick their gift.

TL;DR in English: Determine a maximum cost. Ask your guests to bring a gift to the party. Count all the guests at the party who want to participate. Throw all the numbers in a hat.

To crush garlic, put a whole clove on a cutting board and hold the flat side of a large knife blade on top. Put your opposite palm down on the blade and apply pressure so the garlic splits open. Then, peel the garlic and put the clove into the skillet. Repeat this with each of the other garlic cloves. Stir it every few minutes to prevent the squash from sticking to the bottom of the skillet and cook the squash until it's tender when you poke it with a fork. If you overcook the squash, it will become soggy and limp.

TL;DR in English:


Tilt the washing machine backward so the front legs are exposed. Check that the legs are the same length. Adjust the front legs so they are the same length, if necessary. Check that the floor surface that the machine is on is even and flat. Adjust the washing machine so it is sitting on a solid surface.

Meaningful one-on-one time with your family is important. If you spend a lot of time with your parents, you'll feel closer as a family. There are a lot of family friendly games for PlayStation. Games are themed around things like solving mysteries, playing instruments, completing quests, and piecing together puzzles. Try making a list of family friendly games and showing it to your parents. Tell them playing as a family would be good for everyone.  You can find lists of family friendly games online. Most games provide an age level that shows what age group the game is appropriate for. Search for games that would work for your whole family. If you have a 7 year-old brother, for example, look for games for ages 7 and up.  Consider your family's interests. If you all love a particular movie, see if there are any family friendly games based around that movie you could all play. Many parents are hesitant to buy a PlayStation console because they fear that all the games are violent or not age appropriate. If you have younger siblings, your parents may be especially hesitant to invest in a PlayStation. Research games for your age group, and your sibling's age group. Tell your parents these are the games you will play.  Cars, Peggle, Just Dance 3, and Eye Pet are some great games for kids ages 3-6. Skylanders Giants, Epic Mickey 2, Lego Star Wars, and ModNation Racers are fun for kids ages 7-11. Rocksmith, F1 Race Stars, and DJ Hero are great for kids ages 12-15. A PlayStation console can also play Blu-Ray discs. Some PlayStations can also hook up to WiFi, allowing your parents to access things like Netflix. If you point out these benefits of a PlayStation, your parents may be willing to purchase one as they'll be able to use it as well. Most movies are sold on Blu-Ray discs now. While video games have a bad reputation, they can actually be helpful in moderation. Some evidence indicates video games help with hand/eye coordination, multi-tasking, and the ability to focus on a single task. However, keep in mind this...

TL;DR in English: Tell your parents about family games. Show them age appropriate games. Present the PlayStation as a Blu-Ray player. Talk to your parents about the benefits of video games.

Chill glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until slightly frosty. This will keep your milkshake from melting too quickly. You can make one giant milkshake, or divide it among several smaller glasses. Peel 2 bananas and cut them into 1 inch chunks. Place the chunks on a rimmed baking sheet and freeze, until hard. This will probably take about an hour. You could also freeze the bananas whole. They'll just take longer to freeze, at least several hours. Serve immediately.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the glasses. Prepare the bananas. Pour into glasses and top with extra whipped cream.

Wash off your baby's bottom with warm water.  Resist the temptation to wipe the area if possible. A bulb syringe can be used to spray water to the sensitive spots. Gently remove any remaining poop with a dab of a baby wipe or wet cloth.  If you do use a baby wipe, don't use one with any alcohol or fragrance. Diaper rash is a common kind of contact dermatitis where the skin gets inflamed due to prolonged contact of urine and fecal matter on the skin of the baby. If not caught early it may become infected by bacteria or yeast.   Avoidance of irritants and frequent diaper changes are -- hands down -- the best preventive measures. If you must towel dry, dab gently. Don't rub! That'll just irritate the skin further. Consider the following options:  Place a new diaper on your baby, but place it loosely (or use one that's too big). Keep your baby in the buff for even just a few minutes. The more time she can air out, the better. Consider having your baby sleep diaper free, too. You can put down a protective sheet on your baby's crib to keep from having to deal with disasters in the wee hours of the morning. For the record, drying the rash in open air is effective in helping clear up the diaper rash. Various diaper creams are available without a prescription. Zinc oxide is an ingredient in many creams and can be effective alone to treat a moderate rash. But petroleum ointment or petroleum jelly, non-petroleum jelly, and lanolin products work, too.  Diaper creams can help decrease the rash and provide relief from it. Zinc oxide, commonly known as Desitin, provides an effective barrier against skin irritants which lessen friction to irritated skin. (In other words, it protects against stool and urine.) Skip the talcum powder; it's bad for the lungs. If you must, opt for a cornstarch powder, but even that isn't great -- it can cause yeast to grow and lead to another rash.

TL;DR in English: Keep things clean and dry as much as possible. Let the baby air dry. Apply diaper cream.

Each engine supports specific platforms, and some require different licenses to release on different platforms. For example, with Game Studio, you can release on Windows and Mac OS X with the Standard version, but need to upgrade to the Pro version and pay an extra fee to release mobile versions. Once you are nearing your game's release, start trying to attract some attention. Release some screenshots and video clips of your game in action on popular gaming forums. Contact gaming news sites and let them know that your game will be releasing soon (be sure to include how to get it, how much it costs, and a summary of the game). Create a company website during production so that you can start building followers. Hosting a forum for your game is a great way to get fans talking to each other, and regularly updating your site can start to draw more attention. Some independent developers will host the game on their website, but you may find that demand costs you a significant amount in hosting fees, and some hosts can't support the load that a successful game requires. There are several popular outlets for releasing independent games on PC, Mac OS X and Linux:  Steam Desura Humble Store GOG Mobile games typically need to be released through their prospective stores (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, etc.). The same goes for console games (Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, etc.). Different services will take different cuts on the sale of your game. Research each one to see if they are right for you. Most services have pines on sale. Reps that you can speak with directly as a developer. Once your game is released, support it as much as financially possible with bug fixes and more content. The age of digital distribution means that games can be updated quicker than ever before. There are bound to be bugs that appear once the population at large has access to your game. Do what you can to fix these as soon as possible.

TL;DR in English: Check with your engine on the rules for releasing compiled programs. Hype your game. Decide on a distribution service. Support your game.

Get someone to help you while you’re doing this as you won’t be able to hold the machine in place and also perform the next steps. Also be careful that you don’t tip the machine so much that any connections to hoses or cables are stressed.  Doing this allows you to get a look at the front legs of the washing machine. The legs of the machine form the platform which it sits on. When the legs aren’t even, the machine tends to shake during the spin cycle. If you don’t have someone to help you hold the machine up, use a piece of wood under the front of the machine to help prop it up. Feel free to use a tape measure or even just a small ruler. Try and be as accurate as possible as once a machine gets onto the spin cycle, even a small difference in the legs can cause fairly significant lurching and bumping.  All four of the legs should be in firm contact with the floor. If you can’t seem to find any difference in length when measuring, put the machine back onto the ground and take a look at the legs to see if they look even. Most machines have self-adjusting rear legs so don’t worry about these. Twist the front legs with your hands so they are the same length. Many legs of machines will have a nut that you must loosen with a wrench first in order to shorten or extend the legs. Once you’ve loosened the nut, you’ll be able to rotate the legs by hand.  Sometimes, rust can build up on the nut which prevents you from adjusting the length of the leg. If this is the case, tap the leg a few times with your wrench. This should help dislodge the rust. Make sure you tighten the nut back onto the leg once you're finished adjusting the length of the leg. Look at whether your surface is tiled or whether one of the legs is on some kind of downslope or something like that. It’s really common for people to forget that one of the legs may be sitting on a gap between tiles, or one of the legs might be right up against the wall where the floor surface is different from the rest of the floor. Use rubber vibration absorbers or even...

Spray the wood with an odor-removing spray. Remove dry soot with a vacuum hose. Scrub soot residue with a chemical sponge. Apply a degreaser to the wood. Sand away any remaining stains. Call a professional if you need more help.

If you'd rather grill up individual portions to account for particular tastes, want to make grilled tenderloin sandwiches, or you just want to experiment with a few different seasonings, you can remove the tenderloin from the marinade and slice into portions before grilling. Slice 3/4 to an inch thick.  Consider pounding out the steaks to about a half-an-inch, using a meat tenderizer. Place each steak under a clean towel, then use a tenderizing hammer to bang out the steaks and flatten them. In the Midwest, pork tenderloins are pounded out to almost comically-large sizes, roughly the size of a plate. Put together on a bun, the resulting sandwich should resemble nothing so much as the planet Saturn. It's a state fair classic. Cutting into steaks and pounding out the meat should be done after the meat has been marinaded, just before you're about to grill them. Don't try to marinade pounded-out tenderloin. Before grilling, sprinkle your desired seasoning on both sides of the steaks, or simply dress them with a brushing of olive oil, salt, and pepper for a simple and perfect start to a tenderloin sandwich. Lots of flavor comes from searing the meat and creating nice grill marks on the outside of the steaks, then moving the steaks away from direct heat and covering the grill to let them cook for a few more minutes to finish the inside of the meat. Cook for approximately 4 to 6 minutes on each side. If you want to check the temperature, it should be about 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) when it's time to remove the steaks from the grill. After your tenderloins rest for 10-15 minutes, under tin foil, serve them sandwich-style on buns topped with dill pickle, brown mustard, and raw white onion. That's eating.

TL;DR in English: While cool, slice tenderloin into steaks an inch-and-a-half thick. Season both sides of the meat liberally. Sear the pork on each side. Serve grilled tenderloin on a bun, sandwich style.

The ideal weather conditions for applying stucco involve an overcast day with low wind, and temperatures of 50 to 60ºF (10–16ºC). Delay the job if the temperature is expected to drop below 40ºF (4ºC) or rise above 90ºF (32ºC) in the next week. If the weather is sunny, store your stucco and sand under a tarp between uses. If they feel warm to the touch, don’t attempt to use either the stucco or the sand. You may stucco over any rigid material attached to your support studs. The most common surfaces for stucco are plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), cement board, and exterior grade gypsum sheathing. Make sure to follow local building codes while installing the sheathing material. It is possible to stucco over an open frame, but this results in a less even and less structurally secure wall. If you plan to go this route, drive nails halfway into the studs, spaced out vertically in 5-6 inch (13-15 cm) intervals. String line wire horizontally along the protruding nails. You may also use a draining house wrap such as Tyvek drainwrap. Most building codes require at least 2 layers of "Grade D" building paper or an equivalent water-resistant barrier. You may also use 15 lb per 100 square foot roofing felt (6.8 kg per 9.3 square meters) or some types of housewrap, but do not use a plastic housewrap not intended for stucco. Overlap the paper by at least 4 inches (10 cm) and fasten with roofing nails.  Start at the bottom and overlap the paper or felt as you work your way up. While not required by most codes, an air gap between the 2 layers is highly recommended to prevent wall rot. A 3D plastic drainage mat between the 2 barriers is one way to accomplish this. Install casing bead as a plaster stop at the corners of doors and windows. Install weep screed at the base of the wall for better drainage. For this project, these 2 materials are not interchangeable. Selecting the correct lath and installing it properly is one of the more difficult parts of this project. Consulting a local contractor is recommended. In most...

TL;DR in English: Check the weather forecast. Put up sheathing materials. Cover the plywood with building paper and come back over that with a dimple screen or other rain screen. Install weep screeds and casing bead. Attach metal lath. Install control joints. Mix the scratch coat Trowel the scratch coat into the lath. Score the scratch coat lightly. Wet cure the scratch coat. Mix and apply the brown coat. Wet cure for at least 7 days. Cover with the finish coat.

Unless the washing instructions on your Merino wool product specifically indicate that you can use a dryer, do not tumble dry it. If the care instructions do permit it, be sure to use a gentle, low-heat setting. Twisting this fabric can seriously stretch it and leave your garment misshapen. Squeeze out excess water without twisting the wool. Get out the excess moisture in your Merino wool by laying it in a dry towel and rolling it up. Gently squeeze the roll to remove as much of the remaining water as possible. The best way to preserve the shape and texture of your garment is to reshape your Merino wool while it’s still damp and then let it dry on a flat surface.  You can use a flat drying rack for this. Some racks have a mesh surface that’s especially designed for garments that need to lay flat. You can also simply lay your garment on top of a dry towel on a flat surface, like a floor or bed. You don’t want to hang Merino wool on a hanger, line, or hook because the weight of the wet fibers can lead to sagging and stretched knits. Don’t leave drying Merino wool near a heat source, like a radiator, or in direct sunlight. You should dry your wool in the open air and away from heat to prevent shrinkage. Merino wool is not prone to wrinkling, but if you need to press it, wait until it’s completely dried. Then, use a steaming iron on a wool setting to press out the wrinkles.   Don’t move the iron back and forth over the wool. Instead, lower the iron onto the fabric, press for a few seconds, and then lift it directly up. Repeat this process until you have the wrinkles out. If you have a delicate knit, cover the fabric with a clean, dampened dish towel before pressing it. This will protect the fibers.

TL;DR in English: Do not use a drying machine. Never wring your Merino wool. Roll it in a towel. Lay flat to dry. Keep it away from heat. If necessary, use a steam iron on a wool setting.

Keep your fingers relaxed and rest the ball on the pads of your fingers. If your fingers are too straight or stiff, you will not be able to hold the ball in the correct position. Also make sure that your fingers are spread out on the ball.  Be careful not to apply pressure to the ball with your opposite hand. This can change the trajectory of your shot. It will take practice to correctly balance the netball.  You want to cradle the ball and make sure that it is stable, but you do not want to hold too tightly and have trouble releasing it either. Make sure your feet are in a good position. If your feet are not hip width apart, you may be off balance when you shoot.  Keep your feet parallel and do not let one foot be too far in front of the other. You do not want to be too close to a defender while you are shooting.  Your hips and shoulders should be in a straight line.  Many people allow their shoulders to move forward which will cause the whole body to move forward. Leaning forward when you shoot will change the trajectory of your shot. If you are having trouble keeping your hips and shoulder aligned, have someone hold your shoulders back as you shoot so that you can feel what the correct position is. Try to practice shooting for 15 or 20 minutes each day, even on the days that you have a team practice. Shooting will eventually become second nature to you. You will be less affected by fatigue or a defender in front of you if you are comfortable with your shot.  You only have three seconds to shoot when you are in the game.  Try not to hold the ball too long even when you are practicing. Whether you are practicing alone or with a partner as a defender, focus on the back of the ring as you shoot. Try to practice with a coach or a more experienced shooter. Constructive feedback can help you grow as a player.

TL;DR in English: Use your fingers when shooting. Maintain the correct shooting stance. Practice in a focused way.

Look for a spray created specifically to deodorize the pervasive smell of smoke and mist it lightly over the surface. If possible, use a HEPA vacuum for a deeper clean. Hold the hose slightly above the wood and run it over the sooty areas. This will pick up much of the loose soot, as well as smaller particles that get into the air. You can also use a lambswool duster. Wipe straight across the surface of the wood and turn the sponge over when one side turns black. Carefully cut away blackened parts with a knife to expose new, clean layers to use. Dilute a small amount of degreaser in a large amount of water and use a pump-up sprayer or spray bottle to spray it evenly onto your wood. Wipe the surface with a nylon brush after you’ve applied the solution. Rinse the surface with water to clean off the product. You can also use old, clean window spray bottles or any other empty spray bottles you have around the house to apply the degreasing spray. Make sure to clean the bottle thoroughly with soap and water after you’ve finished spraying. Unfinished wood is more sensitive and easily stained by soot than finished wood. If you can’t remove the soot by other measures, sand the stain away with fine grit sandpaper.  Do not use sandpaper on finished wood, as it will remove the finish. Sandpaper typically doesn’t work on heavy stains that extend deeply into the grains. If your wood furniture still smells smoky or looks stained, call a professional furniture cleaner for a consultation.
