They can be pretty beads, buttons, or even rhinestones. Choose something that is about the size of your earlobe and not too heavy. If you are using coat buttons or stud earrings, snip the prong or loop off using a pair of wire cutters. If you are a child, ask an adult to help you with this step. There are two main types of clip-on earring backs: the skinny type with a bar in front, and the larger type that are shaped like a disk. The skinny type may be more discrete, but they will be more painful to wear. The larger ones will be less painful to wear; they will also be easier to decorate. Consider getting some clip-on earring pads. You can slip them over the back of your clip-on earrings to make them less painful to wear. Be sure to cover the entire front evenly. Don't apply any glue to your item. Make sure that they are right-side-up. This should not take more than a few minutes depending on the brand of glue. For more specific drying times, refer to the label on the bottle. Pull open the earring and position it over your earlobe. Close the earring. When taking the earring off, do not yank or pull it off. This can damage the earring. Instead, open the earring back first, then take the earring off.

TL;DR in English: Choose two matching items with a flat back to use for your earrings. Choose a pair of clip-on earring backs. Spread some super glue over the front of the clip-on earring backs. Press your two items into the glue, flat side down. Wait for the glue to dry. Wear the earrings.

There's a reason why some nudists prefer to be called naturists. Nudism is all about returning to your natural state and being in harmony with nature. Being nude while you're on a beach, in the woods, or in a natural setting can help you experience nature on a whole new level. One of the greatest and most freeing parts of nudism can be the feeling of waves or sun against your nude body. Of course, it's natural for many people to think that something untoward should happen when a bunch of people get together without any clothes on. However, most people who follow the nudist movement don't think there's anything inherently sexual in taking off their clothes. They just think it helps them be free and to return to their natural states, and that's all that matters to them.  Being naked isn't inherently erotic for nudists. They get used to seeing a nude body without thinking sexual thoughts. Also, you shouldn't think that you have to have a perfect body or to look super sexy to be a nudist. Nudists have bodies of all shapes and sizes. Though it may take some convincing to show your friends and family members that getting naked doesn't have to mean getting frisky, this is the lifestyle that many people choose. There are, however, some sects of nudism that are more sexual in nature. Make sure you do your research into the nudists in your particular community to see which lifestyle fits your needs. Being a nudist can help you return to your childhood self, to remember the person you were before you cared about putting your clothes on and ran around naked and happy. It's a very liberating feeling. Nudism can help you return to that pure and un-self-conscious version of yourself and can help you feel happy and free in a friendly environment. Think of how complicated our lives have become. Having to choose clothes, jewelry, footwear, and so many other items only makes it harder to be our natural selves. You may have an idea of nudists as people who are naked at the grocery store, movie theatre, or who show up to family...

TL;DR in English: Know that nudism can help you get closer to nature. Know that being nude doesn't mean being sexual. Know that nudism can help you feel free. Know that most nudists aren't naked all the time.

Pick wooden dowels that are the same thickness as the bone you’re trying to replicate and cut the end at an angle. Use a sander or sandpaper to add deformities and marks to the dowel so it doesn’t look perfectly cylindrical. Paint the dowels white and paint a small amount of fake blood on the ends so they look the ends of broken bones. Wrap liquid latex and toilet paper around the sides of the dowel and paint it to look like a bone sticking out from someone’s skin. Paint 2-3 layers of liquid latex on a flat surface. Spin multiple pieces of paper towel together to make long ropes and drag them through the latex carefully so they don’t rip. The latex will help the paper towel stick to itself and make them look wet. Let the liquid latex dry completely before dipping the paper towel in fake blood to give them a red color to look like guts.  Make multiple ropes of various sizes to make the fake guts look more believable. You can also stuff the paper towel in beige stockings if you want. Set up a fog machine in the location where you’re filming your horror movie and run a fog machine so the room it fills the area. Run the fog machine in between takes to make it appear more full. The fog makes your film set look more mysterious and can make your movie scarier. Check party supply stores to see if they offer fog machine rentals. Otherwise, you can buy them online. Many sounds you hear in movies are added later and are made from objects you may have around the house. Record creaky floors, squeaking doors, and loud footsteps so you can add them to your film if you need to. Experiment with breaking, hitting, or handling a variety of different objects since they may make sounds you could use later on.  For example, you may snap a celery stalk in half to use as the sound of a bone breaking or hit a watermelon with a hammer to simulate hitting someone else. If you need to record sounds for a creature or monster, try making the noises yourself and adjusting them in audio editing software. Hang a green screen in front of a...

TL;DR in English: Cut and paint wooden dowels to look like broken bones. Roll up paper towels with liquid latex to make fake guts. Use a fog machine to make the set look eerie. Record sound effects with common household materials. Film in front of a green screen so you can add a scary background later. Try lighting your movie from different angles. Add color and animated effects with digital software.

. Trendy outfits can be tempting, but don’t sacrifice comfort for the sake of looking a certain way. If you are uncomfortable, your body language will show it, and even the most trendy outfit will look out of place. An outfit you feel great in will be one that doesn’t make you feel nervous, uncomfortable, or fidgety. If you feel even slightly uncomfortable, try another outfit. In addition to laying your outfit out the night before, make sure you try your chosen outfit (or outfit candidates) on ahead of time. This will help you make a definitive decision, and will reveal any problems you might have before the morning of your first day.  You can try on multiple outfits and have two or three set aside for your first day, and decide which one you like best in the morning. Make sure you try on the whole outfit--shoes and everything. This will make sure you aren’t rushing to find anything in the morning. Try on your outfit and make sure there is no bunching, pinching, or ill-fitting area. Ill-fitting areas will mean a lot of adjusting and fiddling throughout the day, which has the effect of making you look uncomfortable or like your clothes don’t fit.  If you aren’t sure about the fit of something, ask your parents or a friend what they think. You can put on a mini fashion show to get the opinions of your friends and family, and get new ideas for outfits. Provided there is no bunching or pinching, take a few laps around your room or your house in your chosen outfit. This will also help you identify any problem areas, such as pants falling down, a skirt riding up too high, or a shirt chafing your skin.  If you know you’ll be walking to school, or have an idea of your activity level, try to mimic this activity level to make sure your clothes will last the whole day. This is particularly important for shoes, as you don’t want to wear shoes to school only to find that they pinch or give you blisters.

Present your characters as otherwise ordinary humans that have been inspired by the immense power of their love for another. More to the point, avoid any potential for your story to read too simply.  You need more than “Beth meets Sue, they fall madly in love, and happiness blossoms in their life ever-after.”  For instance, when introducing your character, make it clear that they don't have time for relationships because they have to work overtime in order to pay the medical bills for a relative. Later on, have their love interest, unbeknownst to them, put in overtime as well in order to help fund the costs of the relative's medical treatment. This selflessness will make them more likeable. Love stories derive their appeal in part because they allow both authors and readers to explore particularly emotional content of all sorts. Emphasize the strength of the emotions the lovers in your story feel, by implying, early on, the dramatic efforts they are willing to make on behalf of their love interest or relationship. For instance, have a character say or do something emotionally significant to prove their commitment to someone they care about, perhaps without the other person knowing about it. Maybe your characters aren’t even sure they’re in love!  Such an implication can be as compelling as the most certain love in the history of humankind.  Consider quite literally starting your story with the admittance of such uncertainty, with characters reflecting on their love or level of commitment to another. One way to ensure they stick around beyond the start of your story is your inclusion of a scenario in which life presents a character with an opportunity or choice. Make a character even more relatable by emphasizing their struggle in making a decision or responding to a significant development in the story. For instance, have a character seize an opportunity to get a reader cheering for them, or miss one if you want your readers to sympathize. A character should never be exactly who the reader thinks they are...

TL;DR in English: Make your characters relatable, but extraordinary. Bank on the appeal of emotional intrigue. Imply internal conflict. Have a character face a tough decision. Expand upon your characters following the opening moment. Include a healthy dose of character flaws.

Croquet balls are usually color coded so you can tell whose is whose. Divide into two teams, so that each team has two or three balls, or have each player use their own ball. Usually, one team plays with the blue and black balls (and green if available), while the other team plays with red and yellow balls (and orange). In 9 hoop croquet, place it halfway between the southern stake and the nearest hoop. In 6 hoop croquet, place the ball a few paces between the southwestern hoop and the southern side. This is where each ball will be placed in turn, one at a time. Do not place the next ball until the previous one has been hit. It doesn't matter if you've forgotten which end is south. Pick one stake and decide to call it the south stake. Use the flat side of the wooden mallet to hit the ball firmly, sending it rolling across the grass. The balls are hit in this order: blue, red, black, yellow, green, orange. You normally only get one hit on your turn (but see below), and you do not get to hit a ball with the mallet if it doesn't belong to your team, so the players should rotate as well, alternating between the two teams. Note that you may choose who goes first with a coin flip or an aiming contest hitting the balls toward a target. If, for example, the green player goes first, play continues in the order listed above: green, orange, blue, red, black, yellow, then back to green. The goal of the game is to get your team's balls through the hoops in a particular order, and in the right direction through that hoop. You might want to use colored clothespins or clips that match the balls' colors to keep track of which hoop you are aiming for next.  In 6 hoop croquet, the order is: northward through the two western hoops, southward through the two eastern hoops, northward through the two center hoops. In 9 hoop croquet, the order is: northward through the two southern hoops, then in a northern zigzag through the eastern and center hoops, northward through the two northern hoops, hit the northern stake, then work your...

TL;DR in English: Divide into teams or play individually. Place the first ball halfway a few paces from the starting hoop. Take turns hitting the balls with a mallet. Try to hit the ball through the hoops in order. Earn an extra shot by making it through a hoop (optional). Earn two extra shots by hitting your opponents' balls (optional). Look up additional rules and variations if you decide to play more.

Be sure that you report any changes in your health or your symptoms right away if you have a more serious condition that requires frequent medical supervision. Deficiencies in protein, calcium, magnesium and vitamins B1, B5 and B6 may lead to problems with water retention. Your doctor or another qualified nutrition specialist can help you determine what nutrients you may be lacking based on your food diary or a basic summary of what you eat. Some herbal remedies are known to increase the kidney's fluid output, which helps control water retention.  Dandelion has no harmful side effects and can be used indefinitely. Add 10 to 20 drops of dandelion tincture to salads or other foods daily. Dong quai is best added to an herbal tea and taken at bedtime because it has a mild sedative effect. Some teas are sold with dong quai in them, or you can purchase it as oil and add a few drops to your favorite tea. In addition to being a diuretic, dong quai is known to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Essential oils used in vaporizers, gargles, baths and massage may help combat water retention. Lavender, rosemary, geranium and cypress are known to have good results. "Loop diuretics" such as Lasix are most common, and they inhibit sodium reabsorption into the bloodstream, causing more water to drain as urine. This type of diuretic is especially helpful for patients suffering from renal impairment, liver cirrhosis, or heart conditions. While they can drain the body's store of potassium and contribute to osteoporosis, there is a kind that includes an extra potassium supplement in it (Lasix K). Other types of chemical diuretics include thiazide diuretics, which produce similar effects as loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics such as spironolactone, which only inhibit the absorption of sodium and not potassium. Some prescription and over-the-counter medications interact with or counteract diuretics. Check with your doctor to make sure a diuretic will not negatively affect any medication you are taking.

TL;DR in English: Follow your doctor's advice and all directions for prescriptions if you have been diagnosed with a health problem that can cause water retention. Consult with your doctor about taking nutritional supplements if your diet may be lacking in certain nutrients due to food sensitivities. Consult with your doctor about trying a natural diuretic. Consult with your doctor about taking a chemical diuretic sold over the counter, or one that can be prescribed for you.

Capital structure is how a company funds its operations and growth.  It is a mix of the company’s debt and equity.  Debt can be in the form of bonds issued or loans from financial institutions.  Equity can be in the form of stock or retained earnings.  Companies must evaluate opportunity cost when choosing between debt and equity. If a company chooses to borrow money to fund an expansion, then the money used to repay the principal and interest on the loan is not available to be invested into stocks. The company must evaluate the opportunity cost to see if the expansion made possible with the debt will generate enough revenue in the long term to justify passing on the stock investments. Opportunity cost is often calculated to evaluate financial decisions.  However, companies can use opportunity cost to govern their use of other resources, such as man hours, time or mechanical output.  Opportunity cost can be defined with any resource that is limited in the company.  Companies must make decisions about how to allocate these resources to different projects.  The time spent on one project is taken away from something else. Suppose, for example, a furniture company with 450 available man hours per week uses 10 man hours per chair to produce 45 chairs per week.  They decide to produce 10 sofas per week that take 15 man hours per sofa. This will use 150 man hours and produce 10 sofas. They will have 300 hours left to produce chairs, which will yield 30 chairs.  The opportunity cost of the 10 sofas, therefore, is 15 chairs (45−30=15){\displaystyle (45-30=15)}. If you are an entrepreneur, you will spend all of your time at your new business.  However, this is time that you could have spent working at a different job.  This is your opportunity cost.  If you have high earning potential in a different line of work, you must decide whether or not it is worthwhile for you to open your new business. For example, suppose you are a chef earning $23 per hour and you decide to leave your job to open your own restaurant.  Before...

TL;DR in English: Establish the capital structure of your business. Evaluate non-financial resources. Determine what your time is worth if you are an entrepreneur.

Stand-off mounts allow you to suspend the piece away from the wall. This is ideal for glass art and signage because it allows light to reflect through, enhancing translucence. Each mount consists of an anchor, a screw, a barrel, and a cap.  The length of the barrel determines how far away from the wall your sign or artwork will sit. The edge grip variety of stand-off mounts do not require your glass piece to have holes drilled into it. The edges of the glass are gripped by a channel in the mount. You can choose from metal, acrylic, or plastic mounts in a variety of colors and shapes. They also come with varying barrel lengths so you can suspend your piece closer or further from the wall, depending on your preference.  Be sure to select an anchor style that matches your room decor and wall material (masonry, drywall, etc.). If you have a glass art work that is irregular in thickness, purchase edge grip mounts that are adjustable. If your piece is uniform, measure the thickness and buy mounts that have a channel that matches. 2 mounts will hold the bottom edge of your piece and 2 mounts will secure the top edge. Come in 1 to 4 inches (2.5 to 10.2 cm) from each corner, depending on the size of the glass. Pull off  4 small pieces of masking tape and place them on the mirror's surface in each corner.  The distance between the top 2 marks should be the same as the distance between the bottom 2 marks. The wider the glass is, the farther you can come in from the corner. Hold the glass up in your chosen location and make 2 light pencil marks on the wall that line up with where you’ve placed tape on the top edge. Use a level to double check that your marks are even. Then, mark the wall for the bottom edge using the same technique. It's easiest to have someone help you with this part. Hold the drill firmly and check to see that the bit is parallel to the floor. Place the anchors into the holes and tap them into the wall until they are flush. Make sure your drill bit size matches the anchor size! Position the mount over...

TL;DR in English: Choose edge grip stand-off mounts to hang glass art and signage. Buy a kit of 4 mounts in a style and color that match your piece and decor. Use masking tape to mark the glass where the mounts will go. Determine where you want to mount your piece and mark the wall. Drill 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) deep holes for your anchors. Place the support screw down through the hollow barrel of the mount. Guide your glass piece gently into the channels from the side. Place the caps on each barrel to finish the look.

Most Xbox 360s have an Ethernet port on the back. You can use this to connect your Xbox 360 to your network's router or modem. After connecting your cable, test the connection. Open the Guide menu from the Dashboard the Dashboard by pressing the center button on the Xbox controller. Select "Settings", then "Network Settings". Select "Wired Network" and then "Test Xbox Live Connection". If you have a wireless network set up at home, you can connect your Xbox 360 to it instead of running an Ethernet cable to the router. The Xbox 360 E and Xbox 360 S both have built-in Wi-Fi, while the original Xbox 360 will need a special Wi-Fi adapter installed.  Open the Guide menu from the Dashboard by pressing the Xbox Guide button (center of controller). Select Settings, then System. Select Network Settings. Select your wireless network from the list. Enter your wireless password when prompted. If your network is not listed, select Advanced Options and then Specify Unlisted Network. Enter in your network name and security information. After configuring your network, the Xbox 360 will attempt to connect to Xbox Live. If the connection is successful, download any available updates that appear. These will improve the console's stability and connectivity. If you cannot connect to Xbox Live, there may be a problem with your wireless settings or Ethernet cable. Check all the connections and ensure that any passwords have been entered correctly.  Occasionally, the Xbox Live service is offline. Check the Xbox Live website for the latest information on the Live network's availability if you are having difficulty connecting. If your router is located a few rooms away, you may have a weak wireless signal. This can cause connection issues, so try moving your router closer to the Xbox, or vice versa, if possible.

TL;DR in English: Connect via Ethernet. Connect wirelessly. Update your console. Troubleshoot a bad connection.

Do not put hair gel, oil, or any other styling products in your hair. Leave your hair naked, as this will help the chalk to adhere better to your hair. Take 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of your hair and dampen it with a few spritzes of water from a spray bottle. Wetting your hair will help the chalk color absorb into your hair.  If you make your hair very wet, the color will appear darker and stay on longer. If you have light-colored or blonde hair, you may use less water on your hair for a less permanent look. The lighter your hair, the darker the color will appear, especially if you wet your hair a lot. Take a piece of chalk and rub it against your hair, starting at the top of your hair, near the root. Run the chalk over your hair in long, smooth motions so it is evenly distributed from top to bottom. Try twisting the hair as you rub the chalk on it, as this will help to distribute the color evenly. If you want just the tips of your hair to be dyed, rub the chalk on only the ends of your hair. Color small sections of your hair with the chalk, starting at the roots and working down to the tips. You could use a single color or multiple colors. If you are using multiple colors on your hair, try doing the lighter color first. Then, wet another section of your hair and apply a darker color. Make sure you wash your hands or wipe off your gloves before you apply a different color.  You may do alternating colors on your hair or do one side one color and the other side another color. You can also do a rainbow pattern using one of each color on sections of your hair. Avoid getting water on strands you have already dyed, as this causes the color to run. Once you have applied the chalk colors to your hair, you may do another layer to make them appear darker. If you have dark brown or black hair, you may need to do several layers of chalk color to make the color appear vibrant and dark. If you have blonde hair, you may only need one layer of chalk color. Allow the color to set for 30 minutes-1 hour. Try not to touch...

TL;DR in English: Wash and dry your hair. Wet your hair with a spray bottle. Rub the chalk on your hair from root to tip for full color. Apply the chalk a few inches from the ends of your hair for dyed tips. Create streaks in your hair using the chalk. Apply one color at a time. Do several layers of chalk for a darker look. Let your hair air dry. Seal your dyed hair with a hair straightener or a curling iron.

Older gas ovens have a drawer at the bottom of the oven that contains the broiling unit. This compartment is commonly called the “broiler drawer.” If your oven doesn’t have a broiler drawer, the broiler is inside the main oven compartment. In this case, the broiling unit will be attached to the top of the oven interior. Most recipes ask you to place the rack 3-4 inches (7.5 to 10 centimeters) away from the broiler. To do so, move the oven rack to one of the top two rack positions. Use a ruler to measure the distance from the rack to the top of the oven.  If you’re oven has a broiler drawer, you will not be able to adjust the shelf height. If you have a gas oven, the broil setting will be the last setting on the temperature dial. Depending on the model, an electric oven can have a “broil” button or a broil option on the temperature dial. To turn on the broiler, simply press the “broil” button or turn the dial to the word “broil.”  Some newer electric ovens have several broiling settings. If the recipe doesn’t specify a temperature, use the highest setting. Close the broiler drawer or oven door. Let the oven preheat for at least five minutes before cooking any food. Some meat recipes will call for longer preheating times to help sear the surface of the meat.

TL;DR in English:


Protect your eye. Apply moist heat. Add vitamin therapy. Be patient.

The kinds of words you choose and rhymes you make will depend, in part, on what kind of poem or song you want to write. You’ll use different rhyming words if your poem is serious than you will if it’s funny. For example, if you’re writing a serious love poem, you probably won’t use words or phrases like “burp” or “butcher knife.” Using the subject of your poem or song, come up with a list of words and phrases related to the subject matter. Write them all down on a piece of paper.  For example, if the subject of your song is “global climate change,” write down words and phrases like “icecaps,” “sea level,” “ozone,” and “greenhouse.” Include some general words that fit in most contexts too, like “this,” “for,” and “all.” A lot of the time you only need the last syllable in two words to rhyme. For example, the words “legislate” and “concentrate” rhyme, even though only the suffixes of the words, “-ate,” rhyme. These will be some of the easiest words to come up with rhymes for.  Start by pulling out any words in your list that have suffixes. For example, if your list consists of the words “matchmaker,” “jazz,” “likeable,” and “stubborn,” you would pull out “matchmaker” and “likeable,” since they have the suffixes –er and –able, respectively. Put these words in a separate row of your list. You can label the row “Suffix Words” if you’d like. For example, if your list consists of the words, “orange,” “lava,” “tank,” and “plankton,” you would pick out “orange” and “plankton” as words that are hard to rhyme. Put these words in a separate row on your list. You can label the row “Hard to Rhyme Words.” If you can’t think of a rhyme for a word right away, put it in the “Hard to Rhyme Words” row. You can always move it later if you think of a rhyme.

TL;DR in English: Figure out the subject of your poem or song. Write down a list of words and phrases. Pick out words with suffixes. Pick out words that are hard to rhyme.

When your friend or family member expresses delusional thoughts, listen to them, but don’t argue. The delusion seems completely real to them, so you won’t be able to talk them into believing something else. Arguing can even make the situation worse, since it will make the person feel like no one understands them. Focus on understanding how the person is feeling. Show empathy for their emotions, but don’t say anything that will reinforce their delusion.  For instance, if your friend tells you that kidnappers are following her, don’t play along. Instead, say something like, “That sounds really scary, but I’ll make sure you’re safe.” Without trying to change the person’s mind, let them know that you aren’t perceiving what they are. For instance, say, “No, I didn’t see any people following us.” See if you can get the person to tell you more about their fears. This can help you figure out where the delusion is coming from and give you a better idea of how to reassure the person. The person may also feel better after talking to you. Ask an open-ended question like, “Why do you think the kidnappers are following you?” or “Do you want to tell me more?” If something in the environment is frightening them, take the person somewhere else. Offer them some food or water. Reassure them that you are not afraid, and tell them you’ll make sure nothing bad happens to them.  For instance, if you’re in a building with a family member who thinks someone is sending them messages over the PA system, take them outside. If the person takes medication, ask them when they last took a dose. If it was longer ago than the bottle instructs, make sure they take a dose as soon as possible.

TL;DR in English: Avoid arguing with the person. Avoid affirming the person’s paranoia. Ask questions. Help the person feel safer and more comfortable.

Your doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals will discuss your cancer in terms of stages, so it's important to know what they are referring to. Oral cancer stages go from I to IV. “I” indicates a lower stage of confined cancer, whereas “IV” means an even more serious cancer that has spread. X-rays, positron emission tomography (PET) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computerized tomography (CT) scans all help your doctors to determine the stage and spread of your cancer. This is especially important when working with oral cancer in order to monitor for growths.  Depending on your initial diagnosis, you may not need each of these tests. Or, you may need to get the same type of test multiple times. All of these tests have their own requirements for the patient. For example, you can't bring any metal objects near an MRI machine. Ask your doctor about what you'll need to do. If your doctor suspects oral cancer or another mouth/throat ailment, then they may suggest an endoscopy. This is an in-office procedure where your doctor slides a tiny, flexible camera into your mouth and throat. The camera's light allows your doctor to do a surface inspection of these areas. An endoscopy is usually pretty painless and doesn't require that you take any pain medication. However, if you are nervous or anxious about this procedure, ask your doctor for medication options. Most cancer treatments are beneficial, but they all come with varying side effects. Talk with your doctor about all of the possible side effects before agreeing to any course of action. For example, radiation therapy for oral cancer can damage your salivary glands, making it necessary for you to have corrective surgery later. During your oral cancer treatment, the risk of getting other mouth or throat infections rises. Make sure to brush and floss at least 3 times a day during treatment. Rinse your mouth with a prescription mouthwash, if provided by your doctor. This lowers the possibility of a lingering bacterial or fungal infection...

TL;DR in English: Understand the various stages of cancer. Get imaging tests. Let your doctor inspect your mouth and throat with a camera. Ask about any side effects of treatment. Maintain excellent oral hygiene. Stop using any tobacco products.

Put your problem on paper with pen. This will help the problem seem more tangible and will make you more likely to try to solve it when it is written down and staring you in the face.  For example, if your problem is that you don't have enough money, you could write that down. You could also write down the implications of that problem to drive home the point and motivate you to solve it. An implication of not having enough money might be that you are stressed out and that you can't enjoy the kinds of things that you would like to. If the problem isn't something private, put the list somewhere you see it so you don't forget to act on it. For example, you might put it on your fridge. Share all the relevant details of your problem with someone that you trust with the information, such as a friend, family member, teacher, or parent. At the least it can help to reduce stress. . In addition, she or he may be able to offer you advice that you hadn't thought of before. If you’re going to talk to someone else who has the same problem, you will need to be tactful. Let her know that you just want to learn so you can solve it, too. Your feelings can act as guides that let you know how your problem solving is going. Feelings are important, even the negative ones. If you feel very frustrated or angry, for example, rather than trying to brush those feelings under the rug, acknowledge them and assess their cause. By finding the source, you may also find solutions to your problem.  It’s okay to feel upset, angry, worried so long as you know that being upset, angry or worried won’t help solve the problem. You will have to take action to solve the problem. Still, these emotions can help you realize you have a problem, as well as suggest its source. Some ways to calm down when you're feeling upset include: focusing on your breathing, count to 10 (or higher if you need to), gently talk yourself down (tell yourself "it's going to be alright," or "take it easy."). Try going for a walk or run or listening to calming music. If your...

Since Bell's Palsy can make it difficult to close an eyelid, the eye on the affected side may become irritated and dry. To keep the eye moist, try lubricating eye drops or ointments, and an eyepatch. Wearing glasses or goggles during the day and an eye patch at night can help keep irritating debris out of the eye. Limit computer time when you are suffering from Bell's Palsy, since excessive computer use can lead to dry eyes. Wet a cloth in warm water and wring it out. Place it over the affected part of your face for several minutes. Repeat this application several times a day to relieve pain caused by Bell's Palsy. Certain vitamins and minerals (including B12, B6, and zinc) can promote nerve growth. These may help to relieve your Bell's Palsy, since its symptoms are related to nerve damage.  Good sources of vitamin B6 include avocado, banana, beans, meat, nuts, and whole grains.  Good sources of vitamin B12 include beef liver, shellfish, meat, eggs, milk, and some fortified cereals.  Good sources of zinc include high-protein meats such as beef, pork, lamb, and dark meat chicken; nuts, beans, and whole grains.  You can also ask your doctor about taking supplements to ensure that you get enough B12, B6, and zinc. Recovery time depends on the extent of nerve damage and whether you're also being treated for an obvious cause of Bell's palsy. While the length of recovery time varies from person to person, symptoms usually improve within two weeks (with or without treatment). Even if this is the case, it may take your body three to six months before you're completely recovered. The symptoms of Bell's Palsy may recur, even after you're completely recovered. Be sure to talk with your doctor again to determine if there's an obvious cause.

The best way to figure out what kind of vaginitis you have is to see a doctor. If you experience any abnormal discharge or vulvar symptoms, they should be checked by a physician.  You should also see the doctor if you’re sexually active and could have an STI, the discharge is malodorous, you have atrophic symptoms and are of perimenopausal or menopausal age, or if you have a sexual partner, either male or female, with trichomoniasis. When you go to the doctor, she will perform a pelvic exam to examine the vaginal vault and the vulva to check for inflammation and swelling and obtain a sample of discharge for examination. She will also examine your cervix to determine if there is any discharge coming from the cervix itself, indicating a cervicitis, which can be a STI such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. She may take swabs from the cervix or have you submit a urine specimen to double check for these STIs. BV is a disturbance of the natural balance of the vagina. It occurs when the bacterial flora become disrupted and the pH of your vaginal flora is higher than normal. This often develops in women who use douches, have multiple sexual partners, and who smoke. There is one main symptom of BV. You will have a white, milky discharge that has a fishy odor. The best way to diagnosis BV is through a test done by your doctor. She will take a sample of the discharge for microscopic examination in the office. Under microscopic exam, there is the presence of Clue cells, which are bacteria-coated cells. She might also perform a whiff test, which is where she will check for the characteristic fishy smell. Once you have been positively diagnosed with BV, you will receive treatment for it from your doctor. Treatment typically consists of oral metronidazole tablets such as Flagyl. You should take a 500 mg tablet twice daily for one week.  You can also use Flagyl Gel, which is a topical treatment. You use one applicator of gel a day at bedtime for one week. A similar but newer antibiotic, tinidazole, or Tindamax, may also be...

While Amazon is the best-known avenue for self-publishing books, a variety of companies offer these services.  Careful research will help you determine which self-publication service is right for you.  Consult publications and Web sites such as Writer's Digest or the Self-Published Author to gather general information about self-publishing.  Genre-specific writer's organizations may also offer resources for authors seeking to self-publish. Different self-publishing services offer different pricing structures.  If you plan to offer your work on a variety of platforms, study each platform and be prepared to vary your strategy.  With some platforms, the percentage of royalties you receive will vary depending upon the price of your book, while others use blanket royalty rates. Self-publishing offers the advantage of bypassing the gatekeepers of traditional publishing houses, but now you'll need to be your own marketing department.  Nineteen percent of self-publishers earned no money from their work in 2013, and while poor quality work may account for part of this problem, poor marketing is just as likely to sink your chances of earning money from your work.  Maintain an author Web site with a blog and up-to-date news of your publications.  Visit --and comment -- on blogs focused upon topics congenial to your work.  Be sure to post a link back to your site. Compose a press release announcing your publication and send it off to Web sites, blogs, and publications in your field.  If your book is a Christian romance novel, for example, consider sending it to Christian women's magazines and to prominent Christian women's bloggers. Make use of social media to generate buzz about your work.  Start author pages on Facebook and Twitter, and post regularly.  Seek out fellow authors and consider establishing networks to share and re-post news of your work. New work may be your best marketing tool.  Generating a steady stream of quality publications will help you make a name for yourself in the self-publishing market. ...

One of the kinder things you can do for your sibling is offer to help them with their homework and their other school work. If they have an oral presentation coming up, offer to listen to their present them presentation. If they are struggling with their math assignment, sit down with them and help them work through the assignment. Focus on practical ways to help your sibling succeed by offering your knowledge of particular subject or simply a helping hand so a project gets done on time. You can also offer to help them complete their chores around the house or split them with them if they are working on a tight deadline for school. Maybe your sibling has a performance coming up or a big sporting event. Make an effort to be in the audience and cheer them on from the stands. Attending their special events will be a nice thing you can do for them as a way to show your support as their big brother or big sister. As the older brother or older sister, you should watch out for younger sibling and stand up for them if they get into any awkward or sticky situations. This may be confronting the school bully if they start to pick on your sibling or mediating a fight between your sibling and your parents. Try to stay on your sibling's side and work with them to resolve any problems or issues with others. Having your sibling's back will show them that you are willing to be there for them and support them. A good big brother or sister will act as their sibling's champion and encourage their sibling to be the best they can be. Take notice of your sibling's abilities and talents, and then actively work to help them develop and improve them.  For example, if your sibling shows an interest in painting, encourage them to take art classes or to set up a painting studio at home. Alternatively, if your sibling wants to go to an Ivy League school, help them achieve this goal by helping them with college applications and drafting a personal statement.

TL;DR in English:


Alert the driver that you’re unloading your bike before you exit. Exit through the front door of the bus. Unload your bike on the curb side of the street. Raise the support arm and lift your bike out of the fitted slots. Fold up the bike rack if it’s empty. Carry your bike to the curb.

Avoid shriveled, dried up or moldy berries. Avoid soggy strawberries too, as this means they are past their prime. A good strawberry is firm and shiny.  Choose organic strawberries, if you can, as non-organic strawberries can be quite pesticide-laden. Some cooks believe smaller strawberries have more flavor due to a higher concentration of sugars. Only rinse strawberries right before you plan to eat them, as washing them will cause them to go bad more quickly. Rub the berries gently under running water to make sure each berry is clean and free of as much soil as possible. Most strawberries sold at the grocery store are fairly clean, so a brief rinsing should do the trick.  If you plan to freeze your strawberries, wash them first. Strawberries can become mushy if they are under water too long. A quicker rinse will help them keep their firm texture. Rinse non-organic strawberries more thoroughly and consider using a drop of mild dish soap or white vinegar to clean them. Let the strawberries drain in a colander or place them on a paper towel to soak up any excess water. If you are only rinsing a few strawberries, pat them gently with a towel to dry them more quickly. Drying strawberries after washing them will help keep them from getting mushy. The more moisture strawberries soak up, the more mushy the texture will be. Hull the berries by removing the green cap and pale flesh with a paring knife or a strawberry huller. On a fully ripe strawberry, you can hull it by gently pulling on the leaves until the stem comes out. Slice them, if you prefer, by standing them on the flat edge and using a paring knife to cut them in half or smaller. The stem of a strawberry keeps it fresher for longer. Only remove it when you are ready to eat the strawberry.

TL;DR in English: Select bright, fresh looking berries. Rinse strawberries under running water when you are ready to eat them. Dry the strawberries thoroughly after washing them. Hull and slice the strawberries right before you want to eat them.

You can apply to refinance your automobile loan with the lender from the original loan, or you can switch to a new lender. Lenders who allow refinancing will replace your existing loan with a new loan, typically offering lower monthly finance charges. Not every lender will allow borrowers to refinance a loan, so it may be worth comparing your options to determine which lender to go with, or whether you're eligible to refinance at all. As part of the refinancing application process, you'll need some basic information to provide the lender. Before you apply to refinance your loan, you'll need to have ready:  your current interest rate  how much money is still owed on the existing loan  how many months remain in the existing loan's terms  the make, model, and current odometer reading of your vehicle  the current value of your vehicle  your current income and employment history  your current credit score If you are eligible for an automobile loan refinance with your existing lender, you may be eligible for a better loan through a different lending institution. It's worth comparing your refinance loan options to get the best available loan terms. When you search around and compare refinance options, it's worth considering:  the loan rate  the duration of the loan  whether there are pre-payment penalties or late payment penalties  any fees or finance charges  what (if any) the conditions for automobile repossession are with a given lender

Muscles need protein to repair and build themselves. The amino acids in protein are what the body uses to perform these tasks. Therefore, your body needs protein to build muscle over time. As a vegan, protein will come from plant-based sources. Remember that many foods contain protein, not just animal products. If you're trying to bulk up, you really do not need that much more protein than an average person. An average person needs 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. So if you weigh 120 pounds (54.4 kg), you need 43.5 grams (1.5 oz) of protein per day.  A casual exerciser, on the other hand, needs 0.5 to 0.9 grams (0.02 to 0.03 oz) per kilogram of protein per day. So the same 120 pound person would need 27.2 to 49 grams (1 to 2 oz) of protein per day. People who lift professionally have even higher protein needs.  Always talk to your doctor or dietitian about the right amount of protein for you per day. It may be tempting to eat large amounts of protein to build muscle. However, your body does not need the extra protein. That is, it takes any extra protein and stores it as fat, which means that taking in more protein does not help you achieve your goal. If you are becoming serious about weightlifting, your body will need extra calories to gain the weight you need to build muscles. For instance, a male weightlifter who's just beginning needs about 18 calories per pound of body weight. So if you weigh 120 pounds, you need to eat at least 2,160 calories a day. Be sure that your calories aren't coming solely from carbohydrates. This is very hard with a vegan diet as so many foods that vegans lean towards are carbohydrate-heavy. That is, most plant-based proteins are only partial proteins, unlike meat and eggs. They do not contain all the amino acids needed to build muscles. However, when you combine proteins by switching what you eat during the day and adding variety, you can create complete proteins. For instance, wheat and rice do not have as much lysine, one amino acid, as other vegetable...

TL;DR in English: Get your protein. Calculate the amount of protein you need. Eat enough calories. Get complete proteins. Use carbohydrates to your advantage. Research how much protein is in your food.

Let the bus driver know you need to get your bike off the rack at the next stop. It’s usually best to do this verbally, to ensure the bus driver hears and understands you. Make sure the driver acknowledges your statement before you get off the bus.  If you don’t alert the driver before you exit, they may drive off with your bike still on the rack. If this happens, check your local transit website for instructions. There’s usually a Lost and Found Department or a phone number you can contact. This is a good time to remind the bus driver that you need to remove your bike from the rack. Give them a wave, or point at the rack, to remind them. Make eye contact with the driver as you do so. Do not step in front of the bus until you’ve made eye contact and you’re sure the bus driver sees you. Never unload on the street side. The bus driver won’t have a good view of you, and you’ll be exposed to oncoming traffic. When you exit the bus through the front exit, walk in front of the bus and toward the bike rack. Lift up the support arm that’s secured to your front tire. Pull it over the front tire, and then lower it and push it out of the way, against the front of the bus. Hoist your bike by the seat tube and stem, just as you did when you loaded it. If you had to press a button to release the support arm, you may need to listen for a “click” that tells you it’s back in position. If your bike was the only one mounted to the rack, squeeze the handle and then return the rack to the upright, folded position. If there are other bikes on the rack, simply remove yours from the fitted slots and step away from the rack. Once you have your bike securely in your hands, walk to the closest curb. Do not mount your bike and ride away from the bus. Do not walk toward the street side. Wait until the bus leaves before you get on your bike and ride away.

Practice learning to roll in calm, shallow water. Align your paddle alongside your kayak. Tuck your head and body forward. Turn your body into the water towards your paddle.

Pick a mirror that’s big enough to fit as much of you in the shot as you want. For instance, a small wall mirror works if you just want a selfie of your face, whereas you need a taller mirror if you want a picture of your whole body. Keep in mind that you can crop your selfies, too. If you just want your face in the picture, but you only have a giant wall mirror, crop the rest of your body out of the photo after you take it. If you’re taking your selfie in your bedroom or your own house, make sure the space that will be showing in the picture is organized and clean. For example, put away any dirty clothes on the floor, make your bed, and check that anything potentially embarrassing, like your life-sized celebrity crush poster, is hidden. Natural lighting is the most flattering for pictures. To take advantage of this, open the blinds or curtains on windows to allow more light in and try to take your picture during the day when it’s sunny outside. If it’s nighttime, recreate natural lighting by turning on soft, warm lamps instead of bright overhead lights.  Avoid fluorescent or harsh white lights which dull your skin. Make sure that the light isn’t directly at your back. Otherwise, you’ll just be a silhouette. Adjust the light if possible so that it hits you in the front.

TL;DR in English: Find a mirror that’s the right size, like a full-length one for a full body selfie. Clean up the room that’s visible in the mirror if possible. Find a spot that has good natural lighting or that is well-lit.

You can clean your roof the easiest by getting on top of it. Use the ladder attached to your RV if you have one, or set up a ladder next to the back of your RV and climb on top. Be careful when you climb the ladder! Bring your cleaning supplies with you, or have a friend hand them to you after you get on top. Metal RVs, like Airstreams, should be washed with care. Using the incorrect cleaning products can result in rust or damages. For best results, first apply a pre-wash to get rid of the majority of dirt and grime. Spray the pre-wash over all of your RV, and scrub it using a soft-bristled brush. You can wipe away the residual dirt and grime. Then, spray a non-abrasive cleaner over all of your RV, and use your soft-bristled brush again to remove trapped dirt.This way, you will keep your metal RV looking great in between washes.  Use these products to clean both the roof and the body of your RV. In addition, you can check your manufacturer instructions to ensure you are using the right product. Pre-wash is a highly concentrated cleaner that helps remove black streaks, road grime, and insect residue. If your RV is made out of metal but has a painted exterior, then you can wash it just like you wash your car. You can use either standard car washing cleaner or a cleaner specifically made for metal-bodied RVs. Purchase these products at either car supply or camping supply stores. You can either purchase separate cleaning products for your roof and your RV body, or you can use a wash-and-wax product that cleans your RV and protects it for the future. To use, spray it directly onto your roof in thin, even layers.  If your cleaning solution does not come in a spray bottle, you can either pour it into one, or you can apply it to a clean towel and rub in the cleaner by hand. You can purchase these cleaning supplies from camping stores. Cleaning your RV in smaller sections breaks down the job into smaller chunks so you can easily clean all dirt and debris from your RV. It is also easier and safer to clean your RV in...

Wash them daily and scrub underneath them to remove any dirt. Trim them with clean nail clippers and round them with a nail file. Make sure to remove any hangnails.  You can apply a protective layer of nail hardener to keep your nails strong. When applying hand lotion, rub the lotion into your fingernails and cuticles. Try to avoid biting your fingernails.  If you want and are allowed to, you can apply a colored polish to your nails. Because you are starting to get older, you will likely sweat more than you did when you were younger. Make sure to shower or bathe every day to remove dirt and to help you smell the best you can.  Apply deodorant daily to help with body odor. You can apply a lotion after you shower to improve your smell. If you want to and are allowed to, you can shave your body hair in the shower. Even if you can’t wear makeup, you can still make your eyelashes stand out. You can try natural remedies (such as castor oil and...

The areas that you tie will end up white. The areas that you leave untied will end up colored. If you have a lot of folds in your fabric, be aware that those areas might not get dyed either. Some of the patterns you can try:  Spirals Stripes Starbursts Crumpled Pick a point on your garment; it does not have to be in the middle. Pinch the fabric, making sure that you go through all layers. Twist the fabric into a tight spiral, like a cinnamon roll. Wrap 2 rubber bands around it to form a X and to hold the spiral together.  This method works best on T-shirts. You can make several mini swirls on a large T-shirt. Roll or scrunch your fabric into a tube. You can roll it vertically, horizontally, or even diagonally. Wrap 3 to 5 rubber bands around the tube. The rubber bands should be tight enough to squeeze and indent the fabric. You can space them evenly or randomly. Spread your garment out flat. Take a fistful of fabric, then tie it off with a rubber band to create a little tuft. Do this as many times as you want over your shirt. Each tied off portion will make a starburst. This technique works best on T-shirts. Crumple the fabric up into a ball. Wrap 2 rubber bands around it to form a cross. Add more rubber bands, if needed, to help hold the bundle together. The rubber bands need to be tight enough to scrunch the fabric together into a tight ball.

TL;DR in English: Decide what sort of pattern you want. Twist the fabric into a spiral if you want a traditional swirl pattern. Wrap rubber bands around your fabric if you want stripes. Pinch and tie tufts of fabric if you want mini starbursts. Crumple the fabric up and tie it if you want a random pattern.

Have a friend spot you while you are learning how to roll. It's always a good idea to establish a distress signal, too, so you can communicate if you need help. Setting up to roll is important not only during practice but also during normal kayaking. It will help you roll over quickly and efficiently. Hold your paddle in both hands on the side of the kayak opposite your dominant hand. Hold the paddle right above the water's surface with the front blade flat to the surface of the water.  If your paddle is feathered, with a concave curve on one side of the blade, hold that side up. This is also called the “power” face of your paddle. For example, if you are right handed, hold the paddle on your left-hand side to set up for the roll. Press your chin against your chest, and lean your chest forward towards the side of the kayak where you're holding your paddle. You're going to roll in this direction. Hold your paddle steady in the same position alongside your kayak as you do this. You will naturally rotate head down into the water.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you face cleaning a very messy room! Create sections or tasks that you feel you can complete reasonably within your timeframe, such as focusing on a particular shelf, table, or corner. Make sure that you take a break between every task or section to help you stay motivated.  If the room is very cluttered or if you don’t have enough time, you can spread the tasks out over several days. For example, you could focus on clearing the floor first, then move onto the dresser, and then end with the bedside table. Look around the room and remove all of the dirty laundry. Perhaps there are dirty clothes on the floor or the bed sheets need washing. If the laundry overflows from the hamper, get another basket or a bag to use as well. You don’t need to sort the laundry at this point. Just focus on getting it all into the hamper. Simply removing all of the trash can make cleaning the room seem far less overwhelming. Place a bin next to you and get rid of any trash you can see. You can recycle what you find if it’s possible, otherwise just throw the trash directly into the bin. If you are unsure about if you want to keep an item, keep it for the time being rather than wasting time deciding. You can always come back to it at a later point. Unwashed dishes can really add to the clutter in a room. Pile up any used plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery that you can find and take them to the kitchen. Stack them neatly in the sink to wash after you finish cleaning the room. Getting rid of the dirty dishes will also help the room to smell clean and fresh. As you work through the clutter, make small groups of items that need to be put away. Groups such as shoes, clean clothes, books, toys, paperwork, and electronics work well. You can also create smaller categories within each group, like if the books  belong on the bookshelf or on the bedside table, or if the clean clothes go in the wardrobe or in the dresser. Don’t worry about putting away the items yet, as you can work on that later. Get the biggest...

TL;DR in English: Clean the room in small, manageable sections. Put all of the dirty laundry into the laundry hamper. Dispose of all of the trash in the room. Transfer all of the dishes to the kitchen sink. Create piles of similar items that belong in the room but aren’t put away. Place all miscellaneous items that don’t belong in the room in a box.

Avoid situations or places where you tend to become a bit flirty.  If you know that after a few drinks you don't make the best decisions, then avoid going to bars without your partner or invite them to tag along.  Avoid similar locations where you have been tempted in the past, like clubs. Be especially careful to avoid being alone with people who you have been romantic or sexual with in the past.  If you have a coworker who you're flirty with, don't go with them alone to lunch. Never spend time with them outside of professional settings.  If they invite you out to lunch, you can say something like “Actually, I have too much work to do, I'm sorry.”  You can also see if other coworkers would like to tag along. If you must be alone with them, leave the door open and meet in an open space.  Keep your interactions professional. If you find yourself in a tough spot, bring up your partner casually in conversation.  This will serve as a reminder to both you and others that you are not available.  You don't need to be showy about your relationship, but do continue to make them aware of it. For instance, if they bring up a particular show they like you can say “My boyfriend really likes that show, too!  I don't care for it that much.” This is a great way to show the world and to remind yourself of your commitment.  If you have a moment when you're eyeing someone else, you might look at that ring and reconsider these thoughts. If you cannot wear it while working, consider getting a tattoo. If you are not married, consider wearing some other symbol as a reminder to yourself.  You might consider a bracelet or even a piece of yarn. Spend a little less time with your single friends while you are struggling with these desires.  Your single friends' unattached lifestyle might influence you to do something you'll regret.  Opt for more time with your married friends, instead. Do not disconnect completely from these friends.  Simply avoid going out with them to bars; opt for activities like lunches and movies instead.

TL;DR in English: Avoid sticky situations. Stay in groups. Talk about your partner. Wear your wedding ring. Spend time with faithful friends.

For summer white outfits, wear stackable silver rings and chunky bangle bracelets. Chunky pieces look a little more playful than delicate pieces, making them more suited for casual dress. The simplicity of a white outfit also allows bold jewelry to take center stage without competition. Since white is such a simple color, a long pendant that extends well below your neckline is an appropriate way to add visual interest to your outfit. A nature-themed design, such as a flower or leaf, plays into the boho style. For a dressier look, stack thin bangles on your wrist to create a whimsical look while adding detail to a simple white background. Dangling earrings with baby blue aquamarine stones or delicate pendants set in silver are perfect for summer. Light tones work well for daytime and coordinate with white to create a delicate, classy appeal. If you would rather try for city chic than quiet elegance, bold colors are the way to go. Look for costume jewelry necklaces strewn with bright red, green, or orange gemstones. Long necklaces that drape over your front are especially effective at adding vigor to your ensemble. If you want an elegant touch to your evening white outfit, wear simple pearl pieces, like bracelets or post earrings. If you wear a pearl necklace, choose one that hugs your neck instead of one that hangs over your blouse or dress. Pearls look elegant, even with a white outfit, but pearls that overlap with your outfit will only get lost. Try black or pink pearls. Black pearls and other shades, like pink, can add a nice twist to your look. If you want a simple, sleek look, go for an all white outfit adorned by black jewelry. The black-and-white look can be very timeless. Wear long necklaces, dangling earrings, and chunky rings. If your outfit itself is relatively unadorned, you can get away with wearing multiple strong pieces. Add a simple black belt, black heels, or even a black jacket to complete your black-and-white outfit. These bold earrings do not look good with other pieces of jewelry,...

TL;DR in English: Wear bold jewelry on your hands. Consider a nature-themed pendant with a long chain. Stack your wrists with thin bangle bracelets. Choose light colored jewelry. Liven things up with bright gemstones. Wear pearls. Keep things simple with black gemstones, like onyx. Wear a pair of chandelier earrings.

Sometimes a simple restart will get things working again. Reboot both your phone and your computer and try connecting them again. Your S3 may not be able to connect to your computer if your screen is locked. Unlock your screen after connecting it to your computer. The cable you are using may only have enough pins to charge your S3, but not enough to transfer data. You'll need a USB cable with five pins, which you can see when you look closely at the plug. If the cable has four pins, it won't be able to transfer data. If your cable is old, consider picking up a new Mini-USB cable. Some users have reported problems connecting the S3 to a USB 3.0 port. Try connecting it to a USB 2.0 port if the S3 isn't showing up. Your S3 needs to be connected as a "media device," which you can set in the notification panel:  Swipe down from the top of the screen while your S3 is connected to your computer. Tap "Connected as" and select "Media device (MTP)." Your device should get recognized in Windows. Your S3 will not be able to connect to your computer in MTP mode unless you are running Windows Media Player 10 or later. You can install the latest version of Windows Media Player using Windows Update. You can check your version of Windows Media Player by clicking the Help menu and select "About."

TL;DR in English: Restart your phone and computer. Make sure your screen is unlocked. Try a new USB cable and a different USB port. Check your USB settings in the S3 notification panel. Check your Windows Media Player version.

If you're the type of person who always waits around for your friends to call without reciprocating, then you are not doing your part. Remember that your friends don't always know when you are expecting them to call, and they may take your shyness as disinterest in the friendship. If you'd like to see somebody, then reach out to them.  Call old friends that you haven't seen in awhile and set up a time to get together. Throw a dinner party or other gathering and invite all of your friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. Invite a friend to the movies, a baseball game, a concert, or other activity. If people are always asking you to hang out, or even if the occasional unlikely person asks you to hang out, you should start taking their invitations seriously instead of turning them down. Don't say that you can't hang out just because you're feeling too shy or don't think you'll click with the other person; instead, think of all the other cool people you can meet at the event you've been invited to, whether it's a party, a sleepover, or a book club. Make a habit of saying yes three times for every one time you say no. This doesn't mean you have to say yes to something that sounds absolutely horrible, but accepting more invitations to spend time with your friend shows a genuine interest in the friendship and makes you a friendlier and more outgoing person. If you reject every invitation, your friend will likely think you are ditching him or her and not interested in spending time together. If you want to make new friends, you will have to look beyond the people you see on a daily basis at work or school. If you have a hobby or special interest, then join a local club or group in your area devoted to that activity.  Consider joining a local sports league, book club, hiking group, or cycling team. If you don't have a hobby, then pick up a new one. Be sure to choose something that you can do with groups of people. Look at sites like Meetup.com to help you connect with groups of people who share your interests. Meeting...

Measuring spoons are small metal or plastic spoons that are connected on a ring. They usually come in the following sizes: 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon, and 1/8 teaspoon. You'll need measuring spoons for small amounts of dry ingredients like salt, baking powder, and baking soda. You'll probably want to buy two sets of measuring spoons so you don't need to stop and wash them if a recipe calls for the same measurement twice. You can also use measuring spoons for liquid ingredients, since the amount called for will probably be very small. You'll need measuring cups to measure a variety of dry ingredients, like flour, sugar, brown sugar, rice, or oats. Most measuring cup sets come with these measuring cups: 1 cup, 3/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup. You can choose light plastic measuring cups that are easy to handle or heavy ones made of metal. Choose measuring spoons that have strong handles. If you scoop into a firm ingredient using a measuring cup with a weak handle, it may snap. The most common way to measure dry ingredients by volume is to dip your measuring cup into the dry ingredient so that the cup is overflowing. Take the back of a knife or a flat spoon handle and sweep the excess across and off of the measuring cup. You can also use the dip and sweep method for small amounts of dry ingredients measured by spoons. Some cookbooks may recommend taking a spoon and filling your measuring cup with a dry ingredient before sweeping off the excess. Depending on how heavily you spoon in the ingredient, you may end up with a lot more of the ingredient than you need. To find out what your cookbook or recipe recommends, read the introduction by the author. The author will explain what tools and basic ingredients you'll need, as well as helpful techniques (like measuring ingredients). When you read an ingredient list for a recipe, you probably scan it for what ingredients you'll need. However, the ingredient list can offer useful clues about how to measure the dry ingredients. Pay close...

TL;DR in English: Purchase measuring spoons. Buy measuring cups. Use the dip and sweep method. Consider using the spoon and sweep method. Read the ingredient listing.

Most people cut across the width of a lemon. Instead of doing that, make a vertical cut down the center of each lemon. It makes the lemon halves easier to squeeze, allowing you to get a little more juice out of them. Electric juicers are similar to the spiked manual ones. Push the cut end of the lemon onto the spike in the center, then turn on the juicer. The spike rotates to make as much juice as possible. The only downside is that it also cuts up the pith you may not want in your juice.  If you need to remove the pith, you can pour the juice through a strainer. Some blenders and stand mixers have juicer attachments. Connect the attachment to your device for a quick way to create lemon juice!

TL;DR in English: Cut the lemons lengthwise in half with a sharp knife. Put the lemon in an electric juicer if you don’t mind pulp.

Put your cell phone on your knees, where the teacher cannot see it, and when you need an answer, look down at the note you typed. Make sure no one calls you. You can also try getting a friend who can text you the answers, but be careful with teachers. Save the file and transfer it to your cell phone via cable or wireless. Some phones such as Nokia open notepad partially. One solution is to use various free text reader such as Young Reader. Then use your phone browser to read your notes as a web page. With the built-in search, you can quickly get what you want in three seconds.

TL;DR in English: Put all needed information in a note on your cell phone. To quickly create a note in your mobile phone, open a notepad on your desktop and use copy & paste. If you have 3G access, you can easily type or copy & paste your whole year of notes on a free website or a blog.

While we're not able to do much with our own ears, a dog's ears can be incredibly expressive.  Be aware that dogs whose ears were clipped as a puppy may not have the full range of motion to express themselves through their ears.  A dog whose ears are pricked forward or straight up is fully engaged in play, hunting, or concentration. This ear position can also indicate curiosity and can express the intent to do something, as the dog is turning to catch sounds. It is an obvious ear position in the early stage of a chase.  A dog’s ears being flattened, sitting against the dog's head, indicates that the dog feels afraid or threatened. Ears that are forward but close to the head can also indicate aggression.  A dog’s ears part way back but not flattened may be feeling unhappiness, anxiety, or uncertainty. A dog's eyes express as much as human eyes do, and just as you learn to interpret people's eye signals, you can also learn to interpret your dog's. Here are some of the more common eye signals:  Eyes wide open: this means that your dog is feeling alert, playful, and ready.  Staring: staring indicates dominant, challenging behavior. Avoiding eye contact: a dog trying to look away from your face can be showing politeness, deference, or submission. Blinking or winking: these indicate that your dog is being playful. Narrowed eyes: this can indicate that your dog is feeling aggressive and is preparing to attack. This gesture may be accompanied by staring. Dogs often show how they are feeling with facial expressions.  Understanding facial expressions can help you interpret your dog’s feelings and communicate with your canine companion.  Smiling: believe it or not, dogs can smile.  While it can be difficult to differentiate a smile from a snarl, checking other body language for signs of play or aggression can help you determine whether your dog is happy or feeling aggressive. If everything else adds up to a happy dog, then your dog is smiling, and this means it's happy and relaxed. Yawning: the meaning of a dog’s...

If you feel yourself getting jittery and nervous, take some deep breaths. Inhale and exhale deeply, pulling from the diaphragm. This will help calm your pulse down to a healthy rate and let you focus on the game. Any light aerobic exercise can calm your nerves and boost your mood, so take a short walk if your nerves become overwhelming. Running or sprinting will use up valuable energy, so stick to 10-20 minutes of brisk walking or strolling. Light exercise releases endorphins, which can help soothe your nerves. Whether you need some calming music to help soothe jitters or energetic music to psych you up, make or find a playlist to listen to before the game. Put some headphones in or listen on a speaker with some teammates to immerse yourself in the music.  Genres with driving beats and aggressive lyrics, such as pop, hip hop, or rap, are perfect for pumping yourself up pre-game. Listen to instrumental music or songs with positive, inspiring lyrics if you need to help bring your nervous energy back down to a healthy level of excitement. If you find yourself overwhelmed and tense on game day, try a short meditation session. To practice meditating, sit in a comfortable, quiet place. Close your eyes, clear your mind, and focus on deep breathing for 10-20 minutes. This can help you rein in your stress and channel it into focus. Before the game, imagine successful past games or future performances. Envision yourself swishing all your shots, hitting a home run, scoring a goal, or running in a touchdown. Mentally rehearsing a successful game beforehand can give you confidence in your abilities and improve your performance. Make the scenario as realistic as possible—imagine details such as sights, sounds, feelings, and smells. Imagine yourself being successful in this scenario over and over again. Within two hours of the game, drink 17 to 20  fl oz (0.50 to 0.59 L) of water.This will hydrate your body as well as keep your mind clear and focused. Remember to also hydrate daily—teenage and adult athletes should drink at...

TL;DR in English:


Let your rabbit think it was his idea to go in the hutch. Learn how training a rabbit is different from training a dog. Do not punish your rabbit.

Measure your shower to determine the size of liner and shower curtain you will need. You will want your liner to fit in your shower for appearance and so it does its job of preventing water from escaping into your bathroom. Most liners for a standard size shower are 70 by 72 inches (1.8 by 1.8 m).  Make sure your liner stretches between the two walls and reaches down to the floor so no water escapes. There are extra long liners that are 70 by 84 inches (1.8 by 2.1 m) or 72 by 84 inches (1.8 by 2.1 m). You can purchase an extra wide liner that is 144 by 72 inches (3.7 by 1.8 m). If you have a stall shower, instead of a traditional bathtub size shower, there are shower stall liners that are 54 by 78 inches (1.4 by 2.0 m). Most liners are vinyl, but you can also purchase liners in fabric (such as nylon or polyester). Some people think that vinyl liners look cheaper than fabric ones, but vinyl liners stick to the sides of the tub to help prevent water from spilling on the floor. Vinyl liners are also easier to clean because you can just wipe them down with a sponge or cloth.  Fabric liners need to be washed regularly since they can grow mold. Fabric liners tend to be machine wash only and blow away from the tub, which can cause water to spill. However, fabric liners are more durable and last longer than vinyl liners. You can purchase liners that have magnets that weigh down the liner to help it stay in place. You can also purchase liners that have suction cups on the bottom to help it stick to your tub and not blow away. If your liner has grommets along the top, it is less likely to rip. Grommets reinforce the top of liner where the holes for the rings are. If your liner might face a lot of wear and tear (particularly in children’s bathrooms), you might want to opt for grommets. You can get a liner that is resistant to bacteria and mildew. The packaging on the liner will specify if it prevents bacteria and mildew. This is especially important if you live in a humid environment or don’t have good ventilation in...

TL;DR in English: Select a liner size. Choose a liner material. Decide if you want magnets and suction cups. Decide if you want grommets. Choose a liner that prevents bacteria. Coordinate with your curtain.

Avoid feeding your dog chicken bones and long bones that splinter. They provide no benefit and may cause constipation and other problems. Talk to your vet about a diet that balances your dog's nutritional needs, weight, and oral hygiene. Tackling one isn't enough – you'll want to tackle all three. It's important to be able to recognize the signs of dental decay in your dog, so you can consult with a veterinarian as soon as possible. The main signs of dental decay include:  Bad breath Loosely fitting, discolored teeth covered by dental tartar. Bleeding gums. Poor appetite and a reluctance to eat hard food. Even with healthy teeth, your dog should have his teeth checked by a professional every six to twelve months, just like you. Your vet should include a dental examination with a normal checkup, but ask for it if they don't. Though cavities are less likely for your pup than you, many dogs still suffer from  oral and dental issues like bad breath, loose teeth, sore and infected gums, and rotting tooth sockets. It is very important to realize that maintaining dog dental health and oral hygienic is necessary to keep your dog healthy and friendly! If your dog has a lot of plaque or tartar build-up, you may need to schedule a cleaning with the vet to have the plaque removed. The vet will use specialized instruments to clean your dog's teeth. If a dental cleaning is necessary, it is advisable to do pre-anesthesia blood work to make sure your pet does not have any underlying problems. This is a quick procedure that you can likely do the same day.

TL;DR in English: Give your dog a teeth-friendly diet. Learn to recognize signs of dental decay in your dog. Schedule a check-up with your vet every six to twelve months. Schedule a dental cleaning for your dog if necessary.

If you're sure you want to call off the engagement, do it as soon as possible. Even though it might be scary, it will only cause more harm to your partner if you put it off. You should never break this kind of news to someone over a text message or email, no matter how nervous you are about the other person's reaction. As hard as it may be, the right thing to do is to have an honest face-to-face conversation with your partner. A phone call is better than a text or email, but a face-to-face conversation is still preferable. It's important to be upfront with your fiancé(e) about why you don't want to go through with the marriage and what you want the future of the relationship to look like. If you never want to see your partner again, don't say that you might be able to work things out down the road.  There's no reason to bring up every disagreement the two of you have ever had. While you do want to give a reason for the breakup, don't go overboard with a laundry list of complaints. Make sure to give your partner the opportunity to ask questions, and always answer them sincerely. When it comes time to tell your fiancé(e) that you don't want to get married, it's important to be as tactful as possible. You want to make the breakup as easy for both of you as it can be.  Never yell or call your partner names when breaking up. Even if you are calling the relationship off for good, there's no reason you can't acknowledge that you will miss your partner. Depending on the situation, you can even explain how much your relationship meant to you.

TL;DR in English: Don't drag your feet. Talk in person. Be straightforward. Be respectful.

Take some time in a quiet place simply to think about your feelings toward the person in question, and your interactions with them.  Some questions to consider are:  How long have you known this person? How frequently do you see or talk to them? Is the communication equitable? What is the level of intimacy shared (either physically or conversationally)? How would you characterize your time together?  Do you both seem to enjoy being together? If you’re trying to determine whether someone is a friend or a crush, make a “Friend/Crush” list.  If you’re figuring out whether someone is in love with you, make a “Like/Love” list.  Like a Pro/Con list, record any specific behavior that would indicate how they feel about you.  Having a visual aid way may give you more insight into how they feel. Sometimes our feelings toward someone can cloud our judgment in assessing their behavior.  A friend can offer an honest, objective observation of the relationship, and will be less likely to allow personal feelings to affect their understanding.

TL;DR in English: Reflect on your relationship. Make a list. Ask a trusted friend for help.

It may be tempting to teach your rabbit to go back into his hutch by forcing him into it. However, using force indicates that going back into the hutch is  your  idea. He will be more likely to return to his hutch if you let him think it was  his  idea to do so. Creating a trail of treats and leaving a bowl of treats in the hutch will help your rabbit think that it’s his idea to return to his hutch. Like dogs, rabbits enjoy receiving rewards. However, rabbits do not aim to please as dogs do. In the wild, rabbits did not evolve to be very cooperative with each other unless there was an outside threat. Since wild rabbits do not necessarily look up to their leaders, it is not surprising that your own rabbit does not have much incentive to look up to you and please you. To train your rabbit, keep in mind that he is not trying to please you. Rather, he is primarily looking for his reward. As with other pets, punishment is not effective with rabbits. Verbal and/or physical abuse will cause your rabbit to see you as the bad guy. In addition, punishment can lead to negative behavioral changes in your rabbit—he may become afraid, withdrawn, or even aggressive. If you sense yourself become frustrated with your rabbit, it may be time to end your training session and try again later.
