Apply a coat of primer before painting your dresser. Cover your dresser with traditional paint for a durable finish. Spray paint your dresser to make the process quicker.

Smile often, especially if you have a bright smile or you've been told you have a great smile. When your crush says something funny, laugh, of course. Just don't make it forced. Introducing humor of your own into a conversation is a great way to keep it positive and memorable, and helps keep those smiles flowing naturally. . Before you even speak to your crush, you can give off positive vibes by having good posture. Also remember to maintain eye contact during the conversation, stay relaxed, and use hand gestures confidently. If you're too quiet, your crush might not have a reason to be attracted to you or worse, might not even notice you. This can be difficult if you are an introvert, or if you are naturally a shy person. With that, keep in mind that overcoming shyness doesn’t necessarily mean talking a lot. It means speaking well and thoughtfully, and initiating conversation. It’s more about how you speak than how much you speak. There are a variety of good topics and ways to engage your crush in conversation.  Find topics to agree on or laugh about. This is a good principle of conversing with anyone: find at least one area of common ground or interest in your conversation. You might even try not to end a conversation until you’ve found at least one source of agreement. Stay current. Mention recent movies, books, TV shows, articles, or other entertainment topics she might be familiar with. The more mainstream, the more likely she is to know your reference. This is particularly helpful when you have a lull in conversation. Stay positive. Think of things that pretty much everyone likes: hobbies, pets, vacations, weekends, dessert, etc. Not every one of these topics will apply, but one or two probably will, and the more general you are, the more likely you are to hit on commonality. Then take the conversation more specific from there. Avoid negative or sensitive topics. Save your discussions of politics, religion, class, or race for another time. Obviously, you don’t want to mention a topic that could lead to...

TL;DR in English: Smile. Maintain good body language Don't be shy. Befriend your crush

The way in which you set up the speakers depends on how many you have; the most common setups are 2.1, 5.1, and 7.1, where the number before the decimal refers to the number of speakers and the ".1" refers to the use of a subwoofer.  2.1 is two front speakers and a subwoofer. 5.1 is two front speakers, a center speaker, two surround speakers, and a subwoofer. 7.1 is two front, one center, two surround, two back, and a subwoofer. On the back or side of your TV, you should see an "Audio Out" (or similar) section with at least one of the following types of audio output:   Optical - A hexagonal port. Optical audio is the newest and clearest type of audio, and most modern receivers support it.  HDMI - A thin hexagonal slot. HDMI supports both audio and video. Nearly all modern receivers support HDMI.  AV - White and red circular ports. These are used for basic audio. All receivers should support AV input. Unlike powered speakers, the average surround sound speaker can't project audio on its own. A receiver takes the sound from your TV and transmits it to the connected speakers via wires.  Most surround sound kits include a receiver. If you bought your surround sound set second-hand, you may have to buy the receiver separately. All speakers will connect to your receiver via AV cable, but the receiver can use optical, HDMI, or AV cables to connect to your TV. Make sure that your receiver's audio input matches your preferred audio output on your TV. You'll need speaker wire to attach the speakers to each other, AV cables (the red and white cables) to attach the speakers to the receiver, and an optical, HDMI, or AV set of cables to connect the receiver to the TV's audio ports. If you don't have the proper cables, you can find them online or in tech department stores. Online is usually cheaper. Each surround sound system will have a slightly different set of instructions detailing the best way to set it up. While you can follow general instructions to get decent sound out of your speakers, the best way to optimize them...

TL;DR in English: Examine your available speakers. Determine your TV's audio type. Make sure that you have an audio receiver. Verify that you have all of the cables that you need. Read your surround sound system's manual. Turn off and unplug your TV.

Becoming a UN aid worker is a very competitive field. Many qualified people want to have this career, so the more knowledge you have, the better. Start with a bachelor’s degree in an area relevant to aid work, such as nursing, social sciences, or languages. You may be able to get a job with just a bachelor’s degree, but getting a master’s degree in a relevant field can make you even more desirable. Pursue a field related to the area where you want your aid work to be, such as climate change, human rights, or health services. The chances of getting a job as an aid worker without any volunteering experience are very slim. Most people volunteer for years before they get their first job. This requires that you work for free, but the more experience you have, the more likely you will land a job.  You can try volunteering domestically during your undergrad and graduate programs, and spend holidays and summers volunteering internationally. Don't worry about volunteering with the UN at first. Getting experience is the most important thing at this point. Sometimes, getting a job as an aid worker is about who you know. Many administrators want reliable and trustworthy people who can handle the stressful and dangerous conditions. Using volunteering experience and domestic work to build contacts and make good impressions can help you find a job in the future.  Attend lectures and conferences on foreign aid work. Use these opportunities to meet as many people involved in the field as you can. Introduce yourself as an aspiring aid worker. Ask mutual friends in the community for introductions or recommendations to others they know. Though your goal may be to work overseas, most aid workers have to work or volunteer in a domestic office before going overseas. This experience can really help you prepare for your future job. Not only do you get related experience for your CV, but you also meet people who can become future contacts. Sometimes you may be placed in an office outside of your country but not on the frontline. For...

TL;DR in English: Graduate with bachelors and masters degrees in a related field. Volunteer with an aid organization either at home or abroad. Network to meet as many people as possible. Work in a domestic office. Consider online volunteering.

A clarifying shampoo is designed to strip residue from your hair, so you can use it to strip color from your brows. Be very careful not to get the shampoo in your eyes, though! Use an eyebrow brush or a new toothbrush to brush a clarifying shampoo onto your eyebrows. After 60 seconds, wipe it off, then wash your face as usual to remove any residue. Combine 1 part baking soda and 1 part of your usual shampoo in a small bowl. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick paste. Use a foundation brush to apply this paste to your eyebrows. After a couple of minutes, carefully rinse the paste off, making sure not to get it in your eyes. You can repeat this process, if necessary. In the morning, squeeze a little lemon juice onto a cotton pad and wipe it onto your brows. Be careful not to get the lemon juice into your eyes! Let the lemon juice stay on your eyebrows until you cleanse your face that night. Spend some time outside while the lemon juice is on your brows, as the sun will increase the lightening effect. Pick up a facial toner, like witch hazel, from your supermarket or beauty shop. Squirt a little bit of the toner on a cotton pad, then gently wipe your brows with the cotton pad to lighten the tint. You can repeat this process as many times as is necessary, but keep in mind that if your toner contains alcohol, it may dry out your skin. Choose a colored brow gel at least one shade lighter than the tint. Use an eyebrow brush to lightly sweep the gel over your eyebrows. Make sure you comb through the entire brow so they get an even coloring. Allow the gel to dry, then repeat if you’d like to further lighten the appearance of your brows. It’s best to have an expert do this for you, rather than trying it yourself. Go to a beauty or hair salon and ask a stylist to apply facial bleach, which is first-aid-strength hydrogen peroxide, to your brows in order to lighten them. Your stylist will likely put a few drops of the bleach on a cotton pad, then lightly wipe your eyebrows with the pad to remove the tint. Make sure the...

TL;DR in English: Scrub your brows with a clarifying shampoo. Apply a paste made of equal parts baking soda and shampoo. Put lemon juice on your brows. Swipe your brows with a facial toner. Try brow gel to lighten their appearance. Use facial bleach as a last resort.

No matter which painting method you use, you'll need to add primer first to ensure your finish looks solid and bold. To add the primer, brush or spray a layer of primer paint onto the surface of the dresser, then check it after about 1 hour. If the paint is opaque, let it dry for another 2 hours. If it is not opaque, put on an additional layer of primer and check it again in 1 hour. Use white primer if you're adding a light-colored paint finish or grey primer if you're adding a dark-colored paint finish. Coat the entire dresser with a layer of acrylic or enamel paint and let it dry for between 2 and 4 hours. Then, apply a second coat of paint and, once dry, rub it gently using 240-grit sandpaper. Repeat the process until you have a minimum of 4 layers, sanding after each coat except the final one. For a standard matte finish, use water-based acrylic paint. For a longer-lasting and glossy finish, use enamel paint instead. Purchase a can of universal or wood spray paint in whatever color you desire. Hold the can between 8–12 in (20–30 cm) away from the dresser's surface, then spray on a coat of paint using large, sweeping motions. Let the paint dry for about 2 hours, then add another coat. Repeat the process until you're happy with the finish.  When using spray paint, make sure to wear a protective dust mask and safety gloves. Spray paint takes less time to apply than traditional paint, but it offers far less protection.

TL;DR in English:


Set the appropriate time. Tell your guests the dress code. Arrange the furniture to maximize movement. Play music. Decorate with small touches. Plan for cleaning.

A standard razor will not give you detailed brows, and can be dangerous to use near your eyes. Instead purchase an eyebrow razor, whose small blade will give you the brows you desire. You can order an eyebrow razor online or purchase one at your local beauty supply store. You will get a closer shave if you apply shaving cream to the area of skin surrounding the eyebrow. Try starting with a dime-sized amount, and use more if necessary. Try applying the shaving cream when you get out of the shower. Only put shaving cream over the part of your eyebrow you want to shave. Use a cotton swab to wipe away any excess shaving cream so you can see what you're doing. Use your non-dominant hand to hold the skin around the eyebrow taut. This will help you get a closer, more detailed shave. Then use your dominant hand to begin shaping your eyebrow. It’s important that you stroke the razor in the same direction that your eyebrows grow. If you use the blade in the opposite direction, you can nick your skin and possibly create ingrown hairs. Instead, gently stroke the razor in the direction that your eyebrows grow. Also, avoid shaving above your eyebrows or they could look unnatural. You should check your progress in a mirror as much as possible. It is easy to accidentally shave off too much of your eyebrows. To prevent this from happening, step back and look in the mirror after completing each section of eyebrow. In order to maintain the look of your newly shaped eyebrows, you will want to shave them regularly. Try shaving about once a week, or more if your hair grows quickly.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a razor made specifically for eyebrows. Use a small amount of shaving cream. Hold your brow skin taut. Shave under your brow in the direction of hair growth. Check your progress frequently. Maintain your brow shape by shaving weekly.

There are numerous potential causes of a loss of sense of smell. These include damage to the mucous membranes lining the inside of your nose and obstructions to your nasal passage. Damage to mucous membranes can occur when you have a cold, flu, or suffer from hay fever or sinusitis. These are the most common causes of a loss of smell and are generally temporary.  Obstructions, such as nasal polyps, can cause problems with smell and may in some cases require surgery. Damage to your brain or nerves can also affect your sense of smell. A head injury can result in a loss of sense of smell. Before you consider going to the doctor, you can ask yourself some questions to begin the process of evaluating the deterioration of your sense of smell. The answers to these questions will help the diagnosis if you do go to a doctor. Start by asking when you first became aware of the loss of smell, and then ask yourself about the conditions under which this occurred.  Was this a one off experience or does it recur? If so, what links the times when it does recur? Were you suffering from hay fever at the time? Did you have a cold or flu at the time? Had you suffered a head injury? Were you exposed to pollutants or substances such as dust to which you may have had an allergic reaction? Short-term changes in your sense of smell are relatively common, if you have a cold for example, but if the problems persist and your smell doesn't return you should make an appointment with your doctor. If necessary your doctor will refer you to a specialist who will test you and give you a diagnosis. You may be asked to smell specific odours in a paper booklet, and the specialist may perform an endoscopic examination of your nose.   It may not seem the most serious health problem, but your sense of smell is important and you should visit the doctor if you have concerns. If you are unable to smell be especially careful with any gas appliances and be sure not to eat any food that has passed it's best before date. Problems with your chemical senses...

TL;DR in English: Understand the causes of a diminished sense of smell. Evaluate your sense of smell. Know when to visit a doctor.

Interval training involves alternating between short high-intensity and long low-intensity activities to make your workouts more effective. When you develop your workout routine, look for activities that push your limits and are difficult to complete and plan to do them in 30-second bursts. Then choose less strenuous activities and complete them for 3-4 minutes at a time.  For example, you may incorporate 30 seconds of jogging or sprinting followed by 3-4 minutes of brisk walking. Continue alternating between them until you finish your workout. Aim to exercise at least 4-5 days each week with interval training. Interval training also allows you to burn more calories than a regular workout. Doing frequent cardio workouts prevents you from getting winded during a fight and boosts how long you last against your opponent. Incorporate exercises such as running, swimming, or cycling into your weekly routine so you can stay fit. Start with a 10-minute warmup so you can prepare for the rest of your workout before switching to higher-intensity exercise to keep your heart rate in your target range.  Aim to do cardio for 45-60 minutes at least 2-3 times per week. If you’re at a gym or have the equipment, you can also include using a treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, or stepping machine for your cardio workout. Strengthening your arms allows you to throw more powerful punches and block hits better. Keep your arms straight down at your sides and hold dumbbells in each hand. Make sure the weight of the dumbbells is easy for you to lift repeatedly without getting tired. Bend your arms at the elbow to curl the weights up to your shoulders in controlled motions. Slowly lower your arms back down to your sides to complete the rep. Aim to do 3 sets of 15-20 reps for your workout. Stand up straight with your arms at your side and take a large step forward with one foot. As you step forward, bend your knees until your front leg forms a 90-degree angle. Pause for 1 count before standing upright again. Alternate which leg you...

TL;DR in English: Try interval training to get the most out of your workouts. Practice cardio exercises to increase your endurance. Build your arm muscles by doing curls with low weights. Exercise your legs and core by doing lunges. Do push-ups to develop your arms and core. Incorporate jump squats into your routine to exercise your legs. Practice doing burpees to get a full-body workout. Do dips to work out your arms, chest, and back.

Keep whisking until the yogurt is light and fluffy, and the honey and vanilla are mixed evenly throughout. Although the recipe calls for bananas and strawberries, you can use other types of fruit as well, including blackberries, raspberries, mango, and kiwi. Save the rest of the yogurt for the later layers. Continue layering the yogurt, syrup, granola, and fruit until you have nothing left. Finish off with a thin layer of granola on top. For that final sundae touch, you could even add some chopped nuts or sprinkles. Top it off with a small strawberry on top. If you won't be eating it right away, you can cover it and refrigerate it for up to 3 hours.

TL;DR in English: Whisk together the yogurt, honey, and vanilla in a small bowl. Mix together your fruit in a separate bowl. Distribute one-fourth of the yogurt between two small bowls or tall glasses. Layer one fourth of the syrup, granola, and fruit. Garnish the sundae with whipped cream and more syrup, if desired. Serve the yogurt sundae.

Make sure you to include the time of your cocktail party on the invitation. Cocktail parties generally last only for about 2-3 hours. They can be held at any time between 4 P.M. and 10 P.M. Nothing is worse than showing up to a party underdressed.  Be explicit whether guests should show up in cocktail attire or in casual clothing. If it’s a weeknight party you could keep things casual, leaving fancier dress for weekend or special occasion cocktail parties. Since cocktail parties mean lots of standing and mingling make sure your guests aren’t tripping over bulky furniture. Place some seating groups in small clusters for those who prefer sitting.  Make sure to have a few tables around for guests to put down a drink while they’re chatting. Make up a playlist ahead of time and have it playing when guests arrive.  This will make the environment more welcoming and fill up any awkward silences until the party gets going. You don’t need fancy decorations to make your cocktail party look classy.  Simply put out a few accents, like vases of flowers, to jazz up your party. If your cocktail party is outdoors, string up some lights to set the mood and make sure your guests can see where they’re going. Provide a table for empty glasses or enlist a friend to help you go around and collect empty glasses as the party goes on.  This will make cleaning up the next day less of a headache. Have an empty dishwasher ready to receive all those dirty glasses.

heck your blood glucose level. Follow the same procedure each time to check and document your blood glucose levels.  Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, and dry them with a clean towel.  Insert a test strip into your blood glucose meter device.  Use your lancet device to obtain a small drop of blood from the fleshy part of your finger.  Some newer devices can obtain a droplet from other areas such as your forearm, thigh, or fleshy areas on your hand.  Refer to the user manual to proceed properly according to the way your device works. Most devices are spring loaded that help to reduce the pain of pricking your skin.  Allow the blood droplet to contact the test strip at the indicated place either before or after it is inserted in the meter, again depending on the way your device works.  Your blood glucose level will appear in the window of your device. Record your blood glucose level on your log, along with the time of day you checked it. Checking your blood glucose is the primary tool for both you and your doctor to use in determining the most appropriate dose of insulin you need.  By keeping a log of your blood glucose levels, and other variables such as alterations in your diet or additional injections prior to meals or special events where you will consume sugary foods, your doctor can help to improve the control of your diabetes.  Take the log with you to each appointment for your doctor to review. Your doctor or diabetic healthcare provider advise you on the targets for your blood glucose levels specific to your condition.  General target ranges include 80 to 130mg/dl if taken before a meal, and less than 180mg/dl if taken one to two hours after a meal.  Remember that monitoring your blood glucose levels are extremely helpful in tailoring your overall treatment plan, but they are not a judgment of how well you are taking care of your condition. Do not let the results frustrate you.  Talk to your doctor if your levels are consistently higher than recommended so you and your doctor can adjust...

TL;DR in English: . Keep a log. Compare your level to the target range.

Monocrystalline solar panels are the best at converting light to energy because of their high silicon purity. That being said, monocrystalline solar panels are often the most expensive—this option is best if you want the highest productivity and price tag.  Monocrystalline solar panels cost between $300-700 USD per panel. Monocrystalline solar panels also produce the most waste when they're manufactured. If you're buying solar panels to go green, another material may suit your needs better. All solar panels are made of silicon. The higher the silicon purity, the better your panel will work, which is why monocrystalline panels are ideal. Polycrystalline solar panels utilize all of the silicon material they're manufactured with, making them the "greenest" panel option. Polycrystalline solar panels are also cheaper than monocrystalline panels, though they are not quite as efficient.  Polycrystalline solar panels usually cost between $200-500 USD per panel. Polycrystalline solar panels do not do as well in warm temperatures. Hot climates with temperatures regularly above around 80 °F (27 °C) are not suitable for polycrystalline panels. Thin-film panels are cost-efficient to make and are usually the cheapest option. They also, however, degrade faster than other panels. Choose thin-film if you need a simple solar panel that may need more repairs over the years.  Polycrystalline solar panels usually cost between $175-300 USD per panel. Thin-film panels usually need the most space and are less practical for smaller homes. They may need up to twice as much room as a mono- or polycrystalline solar panel with the same energy output. Amorphous solar panels are a subset of thin-film solar panels. Generally, they are smaller than other thin-film panels. Through a process called "stacking," which involves multiple layers of amorphous silicon cells, these panels can reach high levels of efficiency, around twice as high as other thin-film solar panels.  Amorphous solar panels are more expensive than other thin-film panels....

TL;DR in English: Choose monocrystalline solar panels for efficiency. Go with polycrystalline solar panels for an environmentally-friendly option. Buy thin-film solar panels for the most budget-friendly option. Buy amorphous solar panels for smaller homes.

When you are searching public records, you are only getting a small piece of the larger picture. You may find an arrest record, but the details are almost never included. Oftentimes reports will contradict each other, as they come from different sources with data gathered at different times. Always take everything you read with a large grain of salt, and do your best to verify any information through other means. Even information such as the person's favorite movies or music could be largely incorrect. They may have made that list five years ago and their tastes are completely different now. Common information obtained from public records can include simple things such as name, address and phone numbers. In addition, birth, death, marriage & divorce records and criminal, court, sex offender registries can be searched in some areas. Licenses, property information and a number of other records are kept by the government and certain organizations. There are a variety of sites online that will allow you to search public records for free, and even more that will do so for a fee. Keep in mind that all public records aren't necessarily free, and getting the appropriate permit and authorization can take a significant amount of time. Likewise, any records that a site returns may be outdated or incomplete. Here are a couple good places to start:   Free Public Records Search Directory - This site allows you to search public records from any state or on a federal level. If the record cannot be obtained by the search, it will often tell you who to contact to obtain it. You will need to know the general location of the person you are investigating.  Family Watchdog - This site contains the National Sex Offender Registry, and allows you to search for offenders by name or location. Keep in mind that details are often not provided, which can contribute to an unwarranted negative view.  Your local department of corrections website - Almost all states will allow you to search publicly available criminal records. The address is...

TL;DR in English: Know what to expect. Understand what is made public. Use a free public records search. Use a paid search.

Look for someone who is certified or has a state license. These are signs of sufficient training and skill. You can find an appraiser in the following places:  Obtain a referral from a state appraisal board. Type “your state” and “appraisal board” into your favorite search engine. Check to see if your state board has a directory you can search. Search the directory of an accreditation society, such as the American Society of Appraisers. Contact a real estate agent for a referral to someone who is qualified. Mobile homes can present many challenges to appraisers who do not have sufficient experience. Ask appraisers whether they have a certification to appraise mobile homes or whether they have ever taken a course on manufactured home appraisals. Keep researching appraisers until you find one sufficiently knowledgeable about mobile homes. You should meet the appraiser at the mobile home. They may have questions about the neighborhood or the property. Answer them as completely and honestly as you can.  The appraiser also needs space to perform the appraisal, so don’t hover. Give them enough space to do their job properly. A typical appraisal takes a few hours and costs around $500.  Most of the appraisal will be done away from the property. Expect the meeting at the property to take about 10 minutes. The appraiser will measure the home, take inside and outside photos, ensure systems are working, and recommend any needed repairs. When you receive the report, you should study it closely. You’ll want to make sure that the appraiser used appropriate homes for comparison purposes.  Also check whether the appraiser properly valued features that can add value to your mobile home, such as location to public transportation or proximity to a good school district.  If you disagree with something in the appraisal report, bring it to the appraiser’s attention. Write a letter laying out what you think the appraiser overlooked.

TL;DR in English: Find an appraiser. Ask about the appraiser’s knowledge of mobile homes. Meet with the appraiser. Analyze the appraisal report.

Draw a hot, soapy bath. Exfoliate with a gritty sugar scrub. Douse yourself in baby oil for an overall tone reduction. Apply a strong toner to your face, neck, hands and feet before bedtime. Use self-tanner remover. Assess your skin color when you wake up in the morning.

Fill a bucket with warm water and add 1⁄4  c (59 mL) of ammonia and 1⁄4  c (59 mL) of baking soda. Soak a sponge in the cleaning solution and use it to scrub your porcelain surface. Pay special attention to areas where stains are more pronounced. Keep scrubbing until you notice the stain diminishing.  Be sure to wear rubber gloves while cleaning with ammonia. After you finish, rinse the porcelain well to remove any remaining ammonia. If rinsing with soap doesn’t work, you may need to try something a bit more hardcore. Spray some bleach (or a cleaner containing bleach) on your porcelain item and let it sit for a few minutes. Then scrub it with your sponge and rinse the rest of the bleach off.  Remember that bleach can be damaging to clothing and other fabrics, so try not to get the bleach on anything other than the sponge and the porcelain. Be sure to wear rubber gloves when scrubbing with the bleach product. ” If the bleach doesn’t get rid of all the stains, try using a product called “Bar Keepers Friend.” It is specifically formulated to get rid of rust and lime stains in kitchens and bathrooms. Simply pour a bit of the cleaning solution directly on the stains and let it sit for a few minutes. Then spend some time scrubbing the rest of the stains out. You can purchase Bar Keepers Friend online and at most home improvement stores.

Having more energy will make you a much more playful person. One of the reasons people stop being playful is because they're just too tired to be up for playing games or taking the world less seriously. So, try to eat three balanced meals, get enough rest, spend time socializing, and avoid anything that will lead you to be generally too exhausted to even smile. There are a million ways to be more energetic, from changing your socks in the middle of the day to wearing brighter colors to project more energy. This is another key way to be more playful. When you were a kid, you must have said yes to most of the new things in front of you; as you grew older, you got more used to your habits and routine and became less interested in new activities. So, if you want to be more playful, say yes to more invitations, and say yes the next time someone wants to go to the zoo with you, teach you how to juggle, or take a ceramics class. Only good will come of it.  Make a goal of saying yes at least 30% more in your every day life. Stop with the excuses. The next time you say no to something, ask yourself what's really stopping you. Is it tiredness? Laziness? The fear of trying something new? Getting out of your comfort zone will allow you to become a truly playful person. Do something that completely scares you, whether it's taking swimming lessons, trying Ethiopian food, or hanging out with a group of people who seem to have nothing in common with you. Getting out of your comfort zone will teach you that you have more to learn and do than you thought, and that the very things that make you uncomfortable can be the most rewarding of all.  You'll never be truly playful if you do the same five old things every week. Try to do something that makes you uncomfortable at least once a week. Hang out with people who challenge you to try new things. A lot of people aren't playful enough simply because they don't have the time to be. Make sure you set at least three hours a week aside in your schedule for "play time" -- you can even...

TL;DR in English: Be more energetic. Say yes more. Get out of your comfort zone. Make the time for playfulness. Don't let other people get you down. Live in the moment. Smile more.

The main source of discomfort that occurs with lichen planus is itching on the bumps. This can be temporarily relieved by applying anti-itch lotions and creams, which are available over-the-counter at most pharmacies.  Anti-itch products that contain antihistamines. such as diphenhydramine hydrochloride, typically help relieve the itching effectively. Talk to your doctor about what products might be right for your specific condition. To get instant relief from itching, you can simply place a washcloth soaked in cool water on the bumps. Leaving it in place for a few minutes can give you some relief when other treatments are not working quick enough or if you only have a mild case of lichen planus.  Be sure not to scrub the inflamed area. This can cause more irritation.  There is usually no need to apply ice, as a cold water relieves the itching just as effectively. If your symptoms are especially bad or you have bumps in so many locations that it's hard to treat them all, you can take a cool bath that includes soothing agents, such as oatmeal. This will give you temporary relief from itching all over your body. Oatmeal is known to be an anti-inflammatory agent that is often used to soothe inflamed skin. Mouth inflammation connected to lichen planus is much harder to soothe than skin irritation. To minimize your discomfort, stop smoking, keep your mouth clean, and don't eat or drink foods that irritate the inside of your mouth, such as highly acidic or spicy foods. In many cases, lichen planus will go away on its own over time. Most people will only have outbreaks for a year or 2 and then will have no further symptoms ever. Because the cause of this disease is still relatively unknown, most people have to simply wait for the symptoms to go away on their own.  If you have a very minor case of lichen planus, you may only have a small patch of bumps that is easily soothed and then goes away quickly. Not all cases will go away on their own and never have a recurrence. However, only 1 in 5 people that have an...

If you want to impress a guy, then you have to make him feel that you care about who he is as a person -- just not too much. When you do start talking to the guy, you should talk about the things he likes to do, what he's interested in, and just generally the things that intrigue him. This doesn't mean you should interview him or ask him too many questions, but it does mean that you should be attuned to the things he wants and cares about.  Let him open up little by little, as you reveal information about yourself too. Don't bombard him with personal questions. Keep it light. Talk about his dog, his best friends, or his favorite sports teams -- you can get to the serious stuff later. Ask his opinion on a variety of subjects, from current events to the Super Bowl. Once you've talked to the guy for a while, you should be able to find a few things that you have in common, whether it's your loyalty to your families, your love for the beach, or your mutual obsession with travel. It may not feel like much, but you should build on the interests you share to develop a connection. This will give you more to talk about, and will make the guy more impressed by you.  If you know the guy is really crazy about the Mets, it wouldn't hurt to look up some information on the team so you can impress him the next time you talk. You don't have to become an expert on the subject, but it would give you something to talk about. You may not have many similar interests, but you may share similar personality traits -- maybe you both have a silly sensibility or a sensitive side. You can build off of that, too. You can even find common ground by finding something you both dislike or want to laugh at, whether it's Justin Bieber or your sixth period chemistry teacher. A guy will be much more impressed by you if your body is in an "open stance," and says that you're ready to talk and have a good time. The first thing you should do is smile to show the guy that you're disarming and ready to have fun. Then, you should work on using your arms...

TL;DR in English: Show an interest in him. Find common ground. Use positive body language. Fascinate him. Let him see what makes you special -- without showing off.

Choose a time when you are free to soak for at least 1 hour. The more recently you put on your self-tanner, the better; it's a bit harder to take off when it's set. Consider this an excuse for an hour of me time! This part is totally optional. Soaking for longer can loosen your self-tanner's jaws, but exfoliates and toners work by themselves, too. If you don't have one, you can make one yourself! The sugar beads lift up your top layer of skin, greatly reducing that unfortunate color you've acquired. And it leaves your skin silky smooth!  Use an exfoliating mitt to expedite the process and double your efficacy. A pumice stone is generally to hard on your skin, so it's best to stick to the mitt or your loofah. Then apply a gradual self-tanner, if you'd like. You know, one of the kinds that is purposefully slow-going. It can help even out what's left of your original experience. The longer you can keep it on the better, but aim for at least 10 minutes. 30 if you can tolerate the boredom of just standing there! This is a good method if you're just too dark or too orange, as it will reduce the difference between your natural tone and your tanned tone overall. These will be your biggest priorities, since they can't be easily covered with clothing. They are also resilient areas that are not prone to irritation when a toner is used. If you have a toner with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), use it. These acids tend to be very effective at correcting skin discoloration. Yep, there's definitely such a thing and they generally cost around $15. They come in the forms of pads or creams and are pretty self-explanatory. They'll be effective, but not necessarily any more so than the stuff you already have in your bathroom/kitchen. Only shell out the bills if for some reason you feel compelled to. You should notice significant improvement, but if you still see some discoloration or streaks, continue with regular baths, baking soda scrubs and lemon juice and toner applications. No self-tanner is that...

TL;DR in English:


Start your turn when you see the black T on the pool floor. Follow the last stroke of your arm under the water. Tuck your knees and feet as you angle forward to somersault. Unfold your upper body.

Italians rarely wear socks with sandals or white socks beneath trousers. On the other hand, they typically wear socks with closed shoes. They always match the colour of the sock to the colour of the shoe. When Italians do wear socks, it’s often very short socks not knee length or calf length socks. These socks are sometimes called “fantasmi,” which means invisible. This is especially important if you’re in a big city where safety could be an issue. Advertising that you are a tourist could make you a target.  The best way to look like a tourist fast? Wear a fanny pack or money belt. This just advertises that you’re walking around with money. Lugging around a backpack can also get you pegged as a tourist. You will want to carefully store important documents, and credit cards, in an inside pocket or front pocket so someone doesn’t pick your pocket. T-shirts, tennis shoes, and any shirt or sweatshirt with a slogan on it will probably make you look like a tourist. Slouchy and scuffed is out; fitted and impeccable is in. Nice fabrics go a long way. Italian fashion sense varies depending on what portion of the country you’re in. It’s a mistake to think there’s just one way to dress in Italy.  The main geographic differences can be found between the south and the north of Italy. Remember that Milan is in the north, and it’s a sophisticated city that is a major hub of the global fashion industry. The style there would be sophisticated and reliant on designer name brands.  In the south, such as in Rome, there would be more adherence to local traditions and trends that are not as contingent on the fashion industry. Dress more formally if you’re visiting a big city instead of a rural country town. Another difference to consider is that the north gets pretty cold in the winter, although it’s warm during the summer months, whereas the south is pretty warm all year round. In the summer, it can reach temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius in Rome. That's in the 90s in Fahrenheit. It can be difficult to predict the spring...

TL;DR in English: Don't wear socks with sandals. Avoid the most common tourist looks. Dress differently based on geography.

It can take days or weeks for the thickness of your blood to change due to dietary and lifestyle habits alone. Start making these changes as early as possible to maximize the potential impact they have on your blood.  Talk to your doctor before altering your diet. They'll be able to give you specific instructions about any dietary changes you should make before your surgery. Preoperative instructions from your doctor may include not eating garlic, cayenne, flax seeds, green tea, tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes. These foods can affect anesthesia and the thickness of your blood.  You may also be asked to avoid foods that are known to cause allergies, like nuts, eggs, milk, fish, wheat, and soy. Vitamin K plays an important role in maintaining a normal thickness of the blood. As long as you're eating a well-balanced diet, you should be getting enough vitamin K. Make sure your diet includes foods like:  Leafy greens Meats Dairy Alcohol tends to thin the blood and cause more bleeding to occur, so you should avoid consuming alcohol as much as possible at least one week before surgery. An occasional glass of wine or some other alcoholic beverage relatively low in proof may not necessarily cause much of a problem for someone whose blood has a normal consistency, but even that can cause adverse effects for someone whose blood is thinner than average. Your safest option is to avoid alcohol completely until after the surgery is over. Proper hydration is an essential component of healthy blood. If you're dehydrated, the volume of blood pumping through your circulatory system can decrease, causing it to thin out have difficulty coagulating.  Excessive hydration can also cause your blood to become too thin, however. As you drink more, more fluid enters into your blood, thinning it out. It's best to maintain standard, healthy levels of hydration prior to surgery to avoid complications. Try to consume eight 8-oz (250-ml) glasses of fluid each day. Salicylates blocks your body's ability to absorb vitamin K, thereby...

TL;DR in English: Alter your diet one to two weeks in advance. Eat a well-balanced diet so you're getting enough vitamin K. Stop drinking alcohol. Keep yourself adequately hydrated. Avoid salicylates. Control your vitamin E. Avoid taking supplements unless they're approved by your doctor. Limit your exercise routine.

Wet the affected area with warm water to loosen the paint and lather up with a mild liquid detergent. Get as much of the paint off as you can using the soap and water. Dry the area thoroughly with a towel before applying baby oil. Due to the repellent relationship between water and various oils, the baby oil will have trouble working if the skin is still wet. Squeeze an ounce or two of baby oil directly onto the paint spot and massage it into the skin. Work the dried paint away with the tips of your fingers, or with a cotton ball or sponge if the stain is particularly stubborn. Baby oil is proficient at breaking up and dissolving dried-on acrylic and oil-based paints.  Baby oil is one option that is much gentler and more beneficial to the skin than paint removers that use harsh chemicals as their primary agents.  Using a mildly abrasive implement like a cotton ball or sponge will help scour paint out of the deeper contours of the skin. Run some warm water over the area again to wash away the dissolving paint. If necessary, use another dab of baby oil on remaining stains. In addition to erasing tough paint spots, the baby oil will also leave your skin feeling smooth and moisturized.

TL;DR in English: Wash with soap and warm water. Rub the baby oil into the skin. Rinse away the loose paint.

If you aren’t already registered to vote, you’re going to need to register in order to vote early. In most states, you’re going to need to register at least 15-30 days before the election in which you intend to cast a ballot, although some states allow you to register through Election Day. You can see a list of deadlines at https://www.vote.org/voter-registration-deadlines/.  To be eligible to vote, you must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18-years-old by Election Day, and meet your state's residency requirements. Find specific information for your state at https://www.vote.org/voter-registration-rules/. Luckily, registering to vote is easier than ever. If you would like to register, simply go to https://www.vote.org/register-to-vote/. Even if ID is required to vote, it is typically not required to register. As of 2020, at least 36 states have some type of Voter ID law in effect. That means that you may be required or requested to show ID at the polls in order to cast your ballot. In addition, you may need to have an ID showing that you reside at the same address that is on your voter registration form. Check your state’s rules at https://www.vote.org/voter-id-laws/.  Your state may have different ID requirements if you are voting in person, voting absentee, or voting for the first time. Ironically, although a voter registration card provides a record of your registration, voter registration cards are usually insufficient for the purposes of ID. In a few states, it may be accepted as a form of identification or proof of residence, but in general, it is not necessary to bring it with you to cast a ballot. Most states require voters to register at least 15-30 days before the election, and in addition to voter registration deadlines, many states that allow early voting only allow early voting on certain days or during a certain window leading up to the election. Check your state’s early voting dates at https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/. Keep in mind that your county may offer additional early voting...

TL;DR in English: Register to vote. Obtain proof of your identity and residence. Make sure that you are within the early voting period.

There is a black line at the bottom of your pool lane. The perpendicular line lets you know that the wall is two feet away. You can use the black T to let yourself know it's time to start executing your turn. This can be hard to judge because it all depends on the length of your legs. Depending on how long your legs are, you would normally do two strokes after the T, then do your turn. If you're very tall or on the short side, adjust accordingly. As your arm enters the water, tuck your chin and keep kicking your legs to propel you over. Bring in both arms and position your hands at your sides.  Do not start rotating your body during this step. As you start to somersault, breath out hard through your nose to prevent any water getting up it. Keep your elbows close to your body. Make sure your knees are close to your chest. If you don't tuck your knees close enough, your feet will take too long to get to the wall. The tighter you tuck your body, the faster your somersault will be. After completing the somersault, release your elbows and extend your arms in the direction you just came from. Put your hands together. Your body should form a straight line from your torso to the tips of your fingers.  At this point, your legs are still tucked. Make sure you are not rotating in the water back onto your belly. You should be on your back at this point.

TL;DR in English:


Recognize the wishes of the family. Consider the faith of the deceased. Consider your relation to the deceased. Make a tribute to the personality of the deceased. Choose your flowers carefully. Consider color meanings.

Cut 14 ounces (397 grams) of boneless, skinless chicken thighs into chunks.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste, and sprinkle with two tablespoons of flour.  Melt one tablespoon of butter over a skillet and add the chicken chunks.  Place the chicken chunks in a single layer.  Don’t allow them to pile up on each other. After five minutes of frying, turn the chicken chunks over and allow them to fry on their opposite side for another five minutes. Once the chicken is finished, place it in a bowl.  Put 8.8 ounces (250 grams) of sliced button mushrooms in the pan and sauté them for five minutes.  Flip them over on their opposite side for another five minutes.  Add one small diced onion and sauté it along with the mushrooms. Deglazing is the process of diluting or removing food residue before making a sauce.  To deglaze the pan in anticipation of making chicken stroganoff, pour ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of vermouth in the skillet along with the onions and mushrooms.  Turn up the heat and allow the vermouth to boil until it is almost entirely evaporated. Pour one cup (240 milliliters) of chicken stock, one tablespoon of tomato paste, one bay leaf, and five sprigs of thyme, and the fried chicken you plated earlier.  Cover over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, remove the lid and allow to simmer for another 10 minutes. The sauce should be thick and red. Slowly scoop spoonfuls of the chicken sauce into 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) of sour cream.  Continue to add the chicken sauce to the sour cream until the mixture is lukewarm.  Then, transfer the diluted sour cream into the skillet with the rest of the chicken, mushroom, and sauce.  Stir to combine.  Once the sour cream has been mixed into the sauce, serve the chicken stroganoff.  This chicken stroganoff tastes great over rice, egg noodles, or another pasta of your choice. Add salt and pepper to taste.

TL;DR in English: Prepare your chicken. Prepare your mushrooms and onions. Deglaze the pan. Make the stroganoff sauce. Add the sour cream.

Thoroughly wash the entire plate with hot, soapy water, then dry the dish completely with a clean dish towel.  The adhesive may not stick to a plate well enough if there is any dirt, grime, or oil on the back of that plate. For best results, use a scouring pad on the back of the plate in the general area the disc will be placed on. Adhesive plate hangers work especially well with plates that are strangely shaped or plates with notably thick rims. You can use them with any shape or size, though. Adhesive plate hangers come in five basic sizes. Make sure that you choose a hanger size that will work for your specific plate. The five sizes are:  1-1/4 inch (3 cm), for plates up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter 2 inches (5 cm), for plates up to 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter 3 inches (7.5 cm), for plates up to 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter 4 inches (10 cm), for plates up to 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter 5-1/2 inches (14 cm), for plates up to 6.5 lbs (3 kg) in weight Dip your fingertip in a little water, then rub your wet finger over the adhesive side of the disc. Wait three to seven minutes, or until the adhesive becomes sticky. Look at the front of the plate to determine how you want the dish to hang. Once you determine where the center top will be, press the adhesive side of the disc firmly onto the back of the plate at the center top.  Press firmly over the entire adhesive disc to ensure a tight seal. You should let the adhesive dry overnight before you hang the plate. Test the bond by gently tugging on the hook. If the disc starts to peel away, the bond is not strong enough. If the disc stays firmly attached to the plate, however, it should be safe to use. Figure out where you want the plate to hang and lightly mark that spot with pencil. Hammer a nail into that spot. At least half the nail should be inside the wall, but there should be enough nail hanging outside of the wall for the plate hook to rest on.  Make sure that the nail you use has a large head to "catch" the hook on so that the plate will not fall off....

TL;DR in English: Clean the plate. Choose the right size hanger. Wet the disc. Attach the disc to the back of the plate. Hammer a nail into the wall. Hang the plate.

If you have handled anything besides your clean towel since washing the groin, then wash your hands again with warm water and antibacterial soap. Dry them with a clean towel. Don't forget to wash them again after you treat the area. Sudocrem can come in tube or jar form. If you have jar packaging, you may want to use a plastic mini-spatula to scoop out the cream and place it on your fingers. This will reduce the risk of contaminating the cream in the jar from bacteria on your fingers. Use light, circular motions to apply it. Do not rub it harshly; allow it time to absorb into the skin. You should use enough cream that it substantially covers the rash. Avoid using too much, however, as it can get messy if it doesn't all absorb.  The cream should absorb so you can no longer see the white color of the cream. If you can still see the thick, creamy substance on your skin, you have applied too much.  Wait a couple of minutes before putting on underwear so the cream has a chance to fully absorb. It should create a barrier between your rash and any clothing you are wearing. It is very important that you wear clean clothes as dirty underwear and pants can contain bacteria that will only make the rash worse. Be sure to wear undergarments that are breathable and won't cause you to sweat more in the groin. Avoid polyester or other constricting fabrics. Instead, use simple cotton boxers or panties. If you have been sweating during the day, wash the area again before you reapply. Most forms of jock itch are responsive to over-the-counter treatments and will clear up within 10 days. If the rash persists for more than two weeks, talk to your doctor about other forms of treatment. You might need a stronger antifungal cream that is available without a prescription. Or you might need to take antifungal medicine orally.

TL;DR in English: Clean your hands. Place the Sudocrem on your fingertips. Gently massage the Sudocrem onto the skin. Apply a translucent layer of Sudocrem on the skin. Wear loose, clean clothes. Reapply the cream at night before you go to sleep. Repeat this process until the rash disappears.

Heat 1 tbs of cooking oil in a large, heavy saucepan.  When the oil is hot, add the onions and stir regularly until they soften slightly, around 2 minutes.  Add the ginger and stir to prevent sticking or burning. Stir so that the ingredients are spread evenly throughout the pan. Keep the temperature at medium heat until the entire mixture is bubbling slightly. Remember to wash the spoon you used to stir the ingredients thoroughly, because it has come in contact with raw meat.  Do not reuse an unwashed spoon later. Cover the mixture and reduce the heat to allow the mixture to simmer, around 20-30 minutes.  Using a clean utensil, stir the food occasionally to ensure that it cooks evenly. to 350ºF/180ºC. Bring 1 ½ cups of water to boil in a saucepan.  If desired, add a pinch of salt. When water is boiling, add ¾ cup of rice. Stir gently to ensure that it is evenly distributed.  Cover the pot and return the water to a boil.  When the water returns to a boil, turn down the temperature to simmer.  Keep the pot tightly sealed.  Allow the rice to cook for 15-20 minutes.  The rice is done when all the water is absorbed. Once the rice is done, remove it from the pot to stop the cooking process from continuing. Rinse ½ cup of brown or green lentils in a strainer under running water, removing any that are shriveled.  Place in a pan with 1 ½ C of water and put on medium-high heat.  When water begins a rapid simmer, reduce heat and cook for 20-30 minutes.  The bubbles should be gentle, causing the lentils to move only slightly while cooking If necessary add water, to ensure that the lentils are always covered.  When cooking is complete, drain the water. In a large bowl mix the rice and lentils to form an even mixture. Spread half of the rice and lentils across the bottom of the dish.  Layer one of the sliced tomatoes on top of the rice.  Ladle half of the meat mixture on top of the tomatoes.  Repeat the process with the second half of the ingredients. Remember to use oven mitts when removing the dish from the oven to...

Some funeral announcements will say “In lieu of flowers…” and ask for a donation to be made to a favorite charity or a personal cause. Some people choose to send flowers in addition to making a donation. This decision is up to you, but when in doubt, respecting the wishes of the family is always appreciated. The most appropriate flower arrangements can vary depending on the faith, cultural beliefs, or religious traditions of the deceased and the bereaved. What is appropriate in one culture may not be so in another, so it is important to consider this before purchasing flowers for a funeral. Here are some suggestions for more common religious affiliations:  Catholic and Protestant Christian: there are no specific recommendations or styles to avoid; nearly all colors and types flowers and floral arrangements are acceptable. Mormon: while most flowers are acceptable, avoid arrangements with crucifixes or crosses. Greek Orthodox: while most flowers are accepted, white flowers are often chosen as a preferred option. Jewish: flowers are not typically displayed at a funeral home where the service for the deceased is held; instead, it is more common to send flowers to the family members’ homes. However, you should not take flowers to a Jewish home sitting Shiva.  Baha’i: most types of flower arrangements are acceptable; there are no specific recommendations or styles to avoid. Buddhist: most types of flower arrangements are acceptable; there are no specific recommendations or styles to avoid. Hindu: instead of floral arrangements, garlands are more commonly seen at Hindu funerals. Ask the funeral home about the possibility of sending a garland instead. Muslim: the acceptability of flowers at an Islamic funeral varies across the faith, and therefore it is important to ask about the desires of the bereaved before sending them. Different types of floral arrangements are sent by individuals with different familial proximity to the deceased. Consider this when choosing an arrangement of flowers to send.  Choose a casket...

Choose an old shirt to turn into a crop top. Identify a crop top length.

Place a spoonful of icing on the center of the cupcake. Use an icing spatula (or palette knife) to spread the icing around the top of the cupcake, out to the edges. Smooth the top with the spatula as desired. For a smooth look, run the spatula edge across the top. For a fluffier look, lightly touch the iced surface with the spatula blade and lift up. For a twist to your ordinary frosted cupcake, pour ganache, melted chocolate, or icing over the tops of your cupcakes. To do this, let the cupcakes cool completely. Begin pouring over the center of the cupcake. You can totally cover the cupcake or cover just the top and let the topping drip over the sides.  Set them on a cooling rack positioned over top a cookie sheet. The cookie sheet will catch any drippings. Let the cupcakes cool to allow the topping to set. The same method can be used with warmed icing. The bottom sides of cupcakes are easiest to cover with fondant. Use a spatula to spread a thin layer of buttercream frosting over the surface. Roll out the fondant to the desired size to cover the cupcake, keeping the thickness to about 1⁄8 inch (0.3 cm). Lay the fondant over the cupcake and smooth it out. Cut off any excess frosting at the bottom. It's easiest to trim with a spatula. Use your hands to continue to smooth the surface of the fondant. Now that cupcake baking is such a trend, you can find just about anything. You can find any image in the form of buttercream, fondant, gum paste, royal icing, or candy. Any. Just go online and take a look! (Grab your credit card.) Want to put a teeny sugary baby on top of your cupcake? No problem. How about a television? Can do. A harvest of cornstalks? Yep. Seriously. The cupcake world has accepted every challenge and delivered.

TL;DR in English: Ice cupcakes the traditional way. Pour ganache or candy melts over cupcakes. Create a smooth canvas with fondant. Invest in some cupcake add-ons.

There are a number of different styles of wedding photography, and different photographers will specialise in different styles. Take some time to read up on and learn about the different styles and think about which one suits you best. Some of the main wedding photography styles are as follows:  Traditional, or classic: here a photographer will work from a ‘shot list’ to make sure that they capture all the traditional pictures, and those the couple have specifically requested. Photojournalism: this is more of a documentary-style, where the photographers will follow you and take fewer ‘posed’ pictures, instead trying to tell the story of your wedding in a normal naturalistic style. Illustrative photography: this style is a combination of the first two. It includes posed pictures, but there is more emphasis put on relaxed and informal poses, albeit still with careful composition. Fashion: this style tends to be more dramatic than the others, and will make the subjects appear more glamorous and styled. Booking your wedding photographer should be one of the first things you do after you have booked your venue. Wedding photographers are in high demand, especially in the busiest times of year for weddings, and many of the best ones will be booked up a year in advance.  If you are having an out-of-season wedding, or getting married on a Sunday, a top photographer will be easier to find at relatively short notice. For weddings at the most popular times, look at least a year in advance. For weddings at less popular times, six months might be enough. The best wedding photographers will tend to develop a reputation, and may be known locally to your friends are family. Start your search by asking people you know and trust if they have any recommendations, either through personal experience, or word of mouth. Talk to people you know who have got married in the last few years and ask about their experience.  If a friend recommends the photographer she used for her wedding, ask to look the album of photos. Bear in mind that...

TL;DR in English: Decide what style of wedding photography you prefer. Start looking early. Ask for personal recommendations. Avoid hiring family or friends. Search online. Examine a photographer’s online presence. Create a shortlist.

In addition to increasing the risk of developing emphysema and lung cancer, smoking also increases your chances of developing an aneurysm. You may need your doctor's help to find the right program to help you quit. Also avoid exposing yourself to secondhand smoke. If you fit the risk profile, avoid indoor areas that allow smoking. Drinking too much alcohol can also weaken blood vessel walls, increasing the possibility of developing an aneurysm. If you have other problems related to excessive drinking, you may need to give it up entirely. Abusing drugs, prescription or otherwise, can lead to inflammation in blood vessels and the formation of aneurysms. Habitual cocaine and amphetamine users are particularly susceptible to the development of brain aneurysms. . Choose a diet with a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat and non-meat protein sources. Avoid excess fats, cholesterol, sodium and sugar. Eat smaller portions, or start preparing more of your own meals to have more control over your portions. Consider eating several smaller meals throughout the day, rather than two or three big ones. Maintain good cardio health and do some light strength training to maintain a healthy body weight and physique. Exercising at least 30 minutes every day will help you avoid an aneurysm or prevent one from rupturing. Your doctor can recommend suitable exercises for you if you want to get started. You don't have to go all out. If you want to start exercising, try starting with:  Light stretches in the morning before breakfast. Just doing some calisthenics for 15 or 20 minutes each morning will get you moving and can be a nice warm up to stimulate other activities. Short sets of sit-ups and pushups. You don't have to start dead-lifting heavy weights or running marathons. Do sets of 20 sit-ups and 10 pushups to get started with and gradually work your way up.

You can crop just about any type of shirt or sweatshirt. Choose a top that fits you well or that is a bit loose if you want to add ties in the front, or go with a tight, stretchy top if you want something that will be form-fitting.  Try making a crop top out of a t-shirt, an old button-down dress shirt, or a form-fitting tank top.  Make sure to choose a shirt you are okay with cutting up! It will look very different after you are finished with it. Put on the shirt you will be using and stand in front of a mirror. Fold the bottom of the shirt up and play around with different lengths until you find one you like. A typical length is a few inches above the belly button, but you can make the length shorter or longer if you like. Use a fabric pen or chalk to mark the length that you want the shirt to be. You may want to have a friend help you with this part. Ask them to trace a line going all the way around the top where you want to crop it.

Take the soot-stained fabric outdoors and gently shake off any excess soot. Be careful not to shake too vigorously so that you don’t make the stain bigger or spread the soot around any more than is necessary. If you shake the fabric too vigorously, you also risk grinding the soot into the fabric – ultimately making it harder to clean. For fabrics stained with soot, try rinsing them with cold water to remove the stain. Turn the fabric inside out and run it under cool water to get as much of the soot out as possible. Try not to spread the stain further or grind the soot into the fabric with your hands. Try to let the cold water do its job and avoid touching the soot during the process. If you have soot stains on fabric materials like clothing, you can try soaking them overnight in laundry detergent. Fill a bucket with warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent and submerge the items. Let the fabric soak for at least six hours. If the soot-stained items can be bleached without being ruined, add a few drops of bleach to the detergent/water mixture. Use the hottest possible setting on your laundry machine to wash the soot-stained fabric. Use bleach (or color safe bleach, if the fabric requires it) when you run the washing machine.  Make sure that you have done all you can to minimize the soot stain before you actually wash the fabric. Using several methods together will be much more effective at removing the stain than just attempting one method. Don’t put the fabric in the dryer until you have checked to make sure the soot stain was completely removed. Otherwise, this could permanently set the stain in the fabric.

TL;DR in English: Shake off excess soot. Run the fabric under cool water. Soak soot-stained materials overnight. Wash the fabric in hot water.

Let your chickens see the treats in your hand so they approach you. Continue to do this around 2-3 times a day so your chickens associate food with the bridge noise. Make sure you’re making your bridge noise first and giving them treats immediately after. Watch your chickens reactions after you bridge. If they perk up and approach you like they're waiting for food, the training is working. Give them the treats after they've come to attention and approached you. If your chickens aren’t associating your bridge noise with food, keep training them until they do. It could take several weeks for all of your chickens to get there. Make sure all of your chickens are adequately trained before you let them out. If one chicken doesn't associate your bridge with treats, that chicken won’t respond when you try to call the flock back to their coop. You may need to make it several times so all the chickens hear it. When the chickens return, give them their treats. If any of your chickens don’t respond to your bridge noise, go collect them and bring them back to the coop. Keep training them until they make the connection.

TL;DR in English: Make your bridge noise and give your chickens a treat. Start hiding the treats while making your bridge noise after a few days of training. Let your chickens roam free once they associate your bridge noise with food. Make the bridge noise when you’re ready for your chickens to come home.

Get out 2.2 pounds (1 kg) of pork riblets and sprinkle them with salt and pepper according to your taste. Rub minced garlic into the riblets for a little extra flavor. If you want spicy riblets, use up to 1 tablespoon (8 g) of minced garlic. Turn the oven on to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Turn on your broiler to high and set the riblets on a sheet. Set the riblets a few inches below the heating element and broil them for several minutes. The meat should turn dark. Carefully remove the sheet and use tongs to flip the riblets over. Put them back under the broiler for a few more minutes so they're seared. Cook the riblets until they're at 155 degrees F (70 degrees C).  Insert an instant read thermometer into the riblet meat to check the temperature. If you don't want to broil the riblets, you can sear them on a gas or charcoal grill. Place a rack in the bottom of a roasting pan and set the riblets on the rack. They shouldn't be touching the bottom of the pan. Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of liquid smoke flavoring and 1 cup (240 ml) of water into the bottom of the roasting pan. Wrap the pan tightly with several layers of aluminum foil. The steaming liquid shouldn't touch the riblets or they'll become bitter. If you're using a smaller roasting pan, you may not need all of the water and liquid smoke. Put the pan of riblets in the preheated oven and bake them for 2 to 5 hours. Check the temperature of the riblets occasionally and cook them until they're tender. They should reach 155 degrees F (70 degrees C) once they've finished cooking. Cooking time will depend on how many riblets you're cooking, the size of the pan, and the accuracy of your oven. Mix together all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir the sauce occasionally and simmer it for 20 minutes, so the sauce thickens a little. You'll need to combine:  1 cup (240 g) ketchup 1⁄2 cup (155 g) corn syrup 1⁄2 cup (170 g) honey 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) water 2 tablespoons (43 g) molasses 2 teaspoons (4 g) dry mustard 2 teaspoons...

TL;DR in English: Season the riblets and preheat the oven. Broil the riblets until they're dark. Place the riblets in a roaster with steaming liquid. Cook the riblets for several hours. Simmer the sauce for 20 minutes. Brush the sauce on the riblets.

Because the impact on language and communication varies from person to person (depending upon which area of the brain has been damaged), the approach of the speech therapist will vary depending upon your specific presentation. He or she will focus on finding ways to help you to more effectively manage your condition in social situations, and to preserve as many of your communication abilities as possible.  Note that, while speech therapists can help you to manage your condition, they cannot cure it. The actual "pathophysiology" (the damage to your brain) is not reversible and will only continue to worsen with time, as this is what the disease entails. Given that the pathophysiology of  progressive aphasia is not reversible, and will only continue to progress with time, it is important to explore alternate modes of communication that can help you to cope. Your speech therapist may suggest non-verbal strategies for communication, such as gesturing or pointing, which many patients find helpful when their condition becomes more severe. One of the key elements for people as their progressive aphasia worsens is finding a community of people who understand the condition, and who can be there as an emotional and social support network. Connecting with an Aphasia Community Group may also provide you with insights and strategies as to how to better manage your condition, and to optimize your communication and interactions with those around you, as you will be exposed to people who are faced with similar problems in day-to-day life. As their condition progresses, some people carry ID cards with them and/or papers with information about their diagnosis that they can give to others. This way, if communication is a significant challenge, it can help others to understand and hence smooth the interaction as much as possible.

TL;DR in English:

Rinse everything well. Prepare everything before you begin.

In many cases, swollen nodes will appear and disappear without any major issues. However, if your nodes continue to grow or begin to harden, it may be time to talk with your doctor. They will likely do a physical exam and may order blood tests or a scan, depending on the possible diagnosis.  Swollen lymph nodes can be caused by wide variety of infections, including mononucleosis, tuberculosis, ear infections, strep throat, and measles. Seek out medical treatment if the lymph node becomes very large suddenly or overnight. If your lymph nodes are swelling due to an infection, then they usually won’t return to regular size until you are healthy once more. Waiting to treat any underlying conditions can result in abscesses forming around the swollen nodes. In more extreme cases, you can even suffer from bloodstream poisoning due to bacteria. If your doctor believes that your nodes are swollen due to harmful bacteria, then they may prescribe antibiotics. Make sure to take the entire course of the antibiotics, even if you feel better midway through. If the infection is viral, then antibiotics are not an option. If the swelling in your lymph nodes is caused by an illness or infection, then you’ll like have additional symptoms. Identifying these other issues will help you and your doctor understand how to treat any underlying conditions. Possible additional symptoms include: fever, runny nose, night sweating, or a sore throat. Although a lymph node can improve overnight, this is highly unlikely. More frequently, the pain in a node can lessen over a few days, but the swelling may take weeks to go down. If the infection progresses, the lymph node can turn into an abscess filled with pus. When this happens the node may need to be drained by a medical professional to reduce the risk of a more serious infection. This is especially the case if the abscess if located in the neck area.

TL;DR in English: Make an appointment with your doctor. Treat any infections quickly to avoid dangerous complications. Take any antibiotics as prescribed. Watch for other symptoms. Expect your recovery to last longer than days. Get the node surgically drained.

Half-round (also known as half moon) Lazy Susans are designed specifically for these cabinets, which are quite long. These are the kinds of cabinets that have only one door occupying half of their length. The half-round Lazy Susan is typically attached to the door, sliding out as it is opened. Keep in mind that if your kitchen cabinets have face frames, you'll need to allow more leeway in the below measurements for the Lazy Susan to open properly. Stretch it along the underside of the cabinet, from the left wall to the right. Set it in place, lock it and record the measurement. For the best fit, you'll typically want a Lazy Susan with a total length one or two inches shorter than this measurement. Placing your tape measure at the cabinet's opening, extend it until it touches the back wall. Record this measurement and compare it to the radius of the Lazy Susan you plan to order. You'll want the Lazy Susan's radius to be a bit shorter than the depth of your cabinet, usually between 3 to 4 inches. Stretch a measuring tape over the opening and note the measurement. Make sure it is slightly larger than the radius of the Lazy Susan. This will ensure the Lazy Susan has sufficient space to swivel out as you open the cabinet doors. While half-round Lazy Susans come with a metal shaft that adjusts to various cabinet heights, they usually have a minimum and maximum height. Measure the inside of your cabinet, bottom to top, and ensure it falls within this range.

TL;DR in English: Ensure you have a blind corner kitchen cabinet. Use a retractable tape measure to find the cabinet's inside depth. Measure the depth of your cabinet. Check the size of your cabinet's opening. Finish by measuring the inside height of the cabinet.

Small snack-sized servings are easier for your body to digest than the full meal you may be used to. Aim to eat between 4 and 6 times a day, maybe once every 2 hours. Stop eating before you feel "full." This can decrease the risk of undigested food making its way to your small intestine, potentially causing a blockage. To ensure proper digestion, always eat in a relaxed setting. The more thoroughly you chew your food, the easier it is for your body to digest. Cook everything you eat so it is moist and tender. If something is difficult to chew, it is likely also difficult to digest. Many stringy fruits (pineapple, rhubarb) and vegetables (celery, bean sprouts) contain tough fibers that your body cannot digest. These fibers can build up in your small bowel, causing obstruction. Similarly, processed foods are harder for your body to digest. Meats, especially steak, take the longest to digest. Water helps your digestive system to function properly. Drinking a glass of water while eating and after every meal may help prevent blockage. Aim to drink between 8 and 10 full glasses of water each day.  In addition to water, other fluids such as broth, tea, and juice are good. Milkshakes can also be good as long as you aren't lactose intolerant. Even though they contain a lot of water, don't use other drinks as a substitute for your 8 to 10 glasses of water. Rather than drinking rapidly, sip on water regularly throughout the day. You may have heard that raw vegetables provide more nutrients than cooked vegetables. However, if you've had problems with small bowel obstruction, raw vegetables may exacerbate the problem.  Look for canned vegetables that are well-cooked and have had the seeds and skins removed, such as carrots, tomatoes, squash, and cauliflower. Frozen vegetables can also be a great option once they're cooked, especially peas, carrots, and potatoes. In particular, you want to avoid leafy greens (spinach, cabbage), stringy vegetables (celery, asparagus), and vegetables with tough outer skins (eggplant, green...

TL;DR in English: Have small meals more frequently. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. Drink plenty of water. Cook vegetables well. Remove seeds and skin from fruits. Avoid nuts and seeds. Limit consumption of alcohol and caffeine.

Rinse off bleach before using items using very clean potable or distilled water. Do not assume tap water is sanitized for rinsing brewing equipment.  If you're using bleach to sanitize, add one ounce (30ml) of bleach to five gallons (19 liters) of cold water, followed by one ounce (30ml) of white vinegar. Do not mix the bleach and vinegar together before adding to the water! The vinegar will make the water more acidic, which helps the bleach sanitize. Do not rinse iodine solutions, let equipment drip dry instead. Note that bleach can cause unwanted flavours in your beer, and requires rinsing, which can introduce microorganisms to your sterilized equipment. If you want to sterilize your equipment properly, use either a food-grade cleanser or sanitizer such as One Step No-Rinse Sanitizer, which requires no rinsing; or an iodine solution such as BTF Iodophor. Remember, in beer brewing, you can do just about anything you want, and add anything you want, to make whatever kind of beer you want—but proper sanitizing is the MOST important thing you can do. Take the time and the energy to do it right. That includes cleaning and sanitizing as outlined, and also includes having all your ingredients prepared and measured in advance.

TL;DR in English:


Check your recipe to find out whether to measure the sugar before or after sifting. Use the widest bowl you can find. Know when sifting is optional.

Before starting any type of intensive weight loss program, it's a good idea to meet with your doctor to discuss what's healthy for you. Make sure that losing body fat won't affect any preexisting conditions you may have. Taking your doctor's advice and your knowledge of your own body into account, write down some goals. It may help to plot out a fat loss schedule that you'll follow over the next six months. Set up some milestones you aim to reach along the way, to provide motivation for your weight loss journey.  Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) per week if you are of average weight. Losing more than that can be damaging to your body.  Set goals that are reasonable and achievable. If you try to lose too much fat too fast, or more fat than is practical for you to lose, you'll end up feeling disappointed. Losing fat requires a lot of time, energy, and difficult choices. There will be times when you'll feel deprived of foods you love, or tired of feeling sore after exercising. Mental commitment is one of the most important factors in successful fat loss. Without it, you'll lapse into old habits, and you may even end up gaining back more than you initially lost.  Take a positive view of your body. Think of yourself as a strong, capable person with a body you can use to experience the world. Being thankful for your body's strengths will help motivate you to take good care of it. On the other hand, if you tend to internally berate yourself for not looking the way you want to look, it's going to be harder to give your body the care and attention it needs to shed fat.

TL;DR in English: See your doctor. Set goals. Make a promise to yourself.

If you accidentally provided personal information and become a victim of identity theft, you should immediately contact the businesses where the fraud occurred.  Ask to speak to the company’s Fraud Department and report the fraud.  Ask the company to freeze your accounts. In this way, you will immediately halt any fraudulent transactions. Reset PINs, passwords, and logins. Call TransUnion (800) 680-7289, Equifax (800) 525-6285 or Experian (888) 397-3742 and request a fraud alert on your credit report. This alerts the bureaus of possible phishing activity and prevents anyone from opening new credit accounts in your name. (Note: The bureaus share information, so 1 request will result in notification to all 3.)  A fraud alert is free.  Also pull your credit report and go through it, looking for other fraudulent loans taken out under your name. You will want to stop anyone from accessing your online checking or savings accounts, or from using credit cards issued by your financial institution. Change your online logins and passwords. Go to your local police station to report identity theft. Be sure to bring the following:  government-issued photo ID proof of address (such as a utility bill or rental agreement/mortgage statement) proof of the theft (bills, IRS statements, etc.) a completed copy of the FTC Identity Theft Affidavit  a downloaded copy of the FTC Memo to Law Enforcement.

TL;DR in English: Call companies where fraud occurred. Inform the credit bureaus. Alert your financial institution. File a police report.

If you ask someone for a favor at an inconvenient time, you can embarrass or even anger him or her. You also might decrease the chances he or she will say yes. If you're going to ask your teacher for help with your math homework, don't ask in the middle of his lecture.  Definitely  don't ask right after he's learned his house has burned down! In general, try not to interrupt someone's work nor their moments of joy or sadness. Depending on the favor, you might also want to move to a private location when you ask your person. If your favor's embarrassing to you or this other person (for instance, if you need help removing a wedgie), don't ask him or her in front of other people. The sooner you mention your intentions, the better. It's polite to be up-front about you want, but it's also a smart use of your time. If you ask for a favor at the end of a long conversation and your helper says s/he can't help you, you've wasted time you could have spent looking for another helper. It's simple - all you need to say is something like, "Hey, I was wondering if I could ask you a favor" within your first few sentences. Then, simply launch into your request! Your potential helper will probably appreciate that you weren't sneaky about what you wanted! You want to be polite and gracious while also being crystal clear about what you want. Explain the facts of the situation. Leave nothing to guessing. Then, without dallying, explain what you need this person's help with. Ask them plainly if they'll help you in the form of a simply-worded question. Don't allow any chance of misunderstanding. If this issue is important enough to require a favor, you should address it head-on. Say "Do you think you can help me with my math homework for an hour tomorrow?", not "Hey, if you want to show me some math stuff, that's cool!"  Specify any relevant deadlines or qualifying information up front. For instance, in our math homework example, if you've got a test at the end of the week, be sure to include this information so the person will...

TL;DR in English: Approach your helper at an appropriate time. Tell them you're looking for a favor. Word your request for a favor carefully. Get to the point. Flatter your helper. Offer this person a reason to help. Give your helper an "out. Accept refusals politely. Have a backup plan.

Some towns and cities have their own electronics collection days. If you live in the United States, TIA E-Cycling Central (http://www.ecyclingcentral.com/) provides a list of these locally sponsored events organized by state. Remember that cell phones are considered hazardous waste in some regions, such as the state of California. Disposal at an unauthorized site or landfill can be a serious crime.  The site http://www.Call2Recycle.org helps residents of the United States and Canada find local drop-off locations for both cell phones and rechargeable batteries by entering a ZIP code. International residents can use Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (https://sustainableelectronics.org/) to find recycling locations in regions around the world like Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Africa, and the Netherlands. Retailers like Best Buy, Circuit City, and Staples often sponsor local electronics recycling events. At these events, customers are encouraged to drop off cell phones, as well as other electronic devices (like PCs, monitors, and televisions). Cell phone manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola, and Nokia have voluntarily implemented recycling programs. Most offer free recycling services on their website or provide postage-paid recycling envelopes with all new cell phones.  Options vary depending on your product and location. Check your manufacturer's website or call their customer support for more information. Most manufacturers partner with Call2Recycle for battery recycling. Cell phone service providers like Verizon, Alltel, and AT&T offer free in-store recycling with proceeds benefiting their favorite organizations. Start by checking the local recreation centers and senior organizations. Another option is The World Computer Exchange (https://worldcomputerexchange.org/), which takes old phones and donates them to communities in developing countries around the world.  Always ask for a receipt so you can claim your donation on your tax return next year. The 911 Cell Phone Bank...

TL;DR in English: Recycle your old phone through a local community organization. Send your phone to a manufacturer recycling program for free shipping. Donate your phone to a nonprofit or charity to claim your donation at tax time.

If the recipe calls for "two cups (480 mL) sifted, powdered sugar" you should sift first, then measure out two cups (480 mL) of sifted sugar. If the recipe calls for "two cups (480 mL) powdered sugar, sifted" or simply "powdered sugar" with instructions to sift later on, measure out two cups, then sift.  If the sugar contains many clumps, always sift before measuring. If measuring by weight (such as ounces or grams), it shouldn't matter whether you sift before or after. Sifting can be messy. Use a large, wide container to minimize cleanup. If your container is not significantly wider than your sifter, you may want to put down paper towels or a plate underneath it to catch spills. Alternatively, use a large sheet of wax paper. This method is best used with small amounts of sugar at a time. Don't pile the sifted sugar high enough to prevent you from picking up the paper for pouring into another container. Professional bakers typically sift sugar and other dry ingredients in every recipe, but many baking hobbyists try to avoid this sometimes messy or tedious step. If you saw only a couple of pea-sized lumps in your sugar during sifting, or none at all, consider skipping the sifting next time you make cakes, cookies, or other recipes where sugar is one of many ingredients. Sifting is more important when making icing, buttercream, or other decorative toppings in which gritty sugar is easily noticed. If you want your baked goods to end up airy, light, and even-textured, you can sift the dry ingredients together after they've been mixed. In this case, you do not need to sift the sugar separately unless there are many, obvious lumps that need to be removed before measuring.

TL;DR in English:
