Unless you're already a vegetarian family, this is probably not the time to ask everyone to go veggie but at least raise it as an option. Discuss ways to eat green, including using non-disposable plates, bowls, utensils, and napkins. . Meat-free meals could be made more frequent within the meal roster. Less meat consumption is healthy for everyone, and the environmental costs of producing milk, eggs, and meat includes increased land usage, high-protein grain for animal feed, and the production of methane. Check out websites on the slow food movement or sites that are dedicated to locovore eating habits (eating locally produced food). If anyone in the family has reservations about eating vegetarian meals, borrow some books on achieving optimal health as vegetarian or vegan, to reassure yourselves that you are going to be getting all needed nutrients. Borrow some books and DVDs from the library on this topic. A few suggestions are Michael Pollan's “The Omnivore's Dilemma,” “Food Rules,” and “In Defense of Food,” or Morgan Spurlock's DVD “Super Size Me.”

TL;DR in English: Implement green food habits. Eat vegetarian meals Research healthy options.

Marijuana has a distinctive odor that may be musky or skunk-like, and often slightly sweet. This smell may linger on a marijuana user's clothing, breath, skin, or hair. You might also notice it in a room where they smoke or store their smoking implements. Someone using marijuana may try to hide the scent by wearing perfume or cologne, using breath mints, or using incense or air fresheners in the room(s) where they smoke. Marijuana can be consumed in a variety of different ways. Look around for any of the following types of implements:  Rolling papers or blunt wraps Pipes (often made of glass) Bongs (or water pipes) Vape pens Grinders Long-term marijuana use can lead to a variety of mental and behavioral changes. A marijuana user may experience a loss of energy and motivation. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues may get worse or appear for the first time. Marijuana use can also affect interpersonal relationships and school or work performance. You might also notice:  A lack of interest in things the person used to enjoy. A change in habits relating to money. For example, the person may frequently ask for money, start stealing money, or go through money rapidly without being able to explain where it is going. Evasive behavior (e.g., acting like they are trying to hide something, or not giving straightforward answers to questions about what they're doing).

TL;DR in English: Check for the smell of marijuana. Look for items related to marijuana use. Watch for changes in behavior and relationships.

Ticking is where you move an isolated part of your body, pause, and then repeat so it looks like it’s ticking. To tick your arms and torso, start by bending forward at your waist with your arms out in front of you so your waist and legs make a 150-degree angle. Then, lift your arms up about 2 inches (5.1 cm), and pause. Repeat 4-5 more times until your arms are over your head. Once your arms are all the way up, do the same thing with your torso, moving it up 2 inches (5.1 cm) at a time until you’re standing up straight again. Practice slowly at first. Then, as you get better, work on ticking at a faster pace. Start with your arms out straight at your sides. Then, bend your wrists so your fingers are pointing at the floor, and pause. Next, bend your arms so your elbows go down, and pause again. Now, bend your wrists the other way so your fingers are pointing up this time, straighten your arms, and pause. Finally, tick your shoulders up and down several times, and repeat. Ticking while you do the wave will make it look more robotic. You’re just breaking down each part of the move—like bending your wrists, bending your arms, and moving your shoulders up and down—and pausing for a second after each part to create the ticking effect. Since you mostly stay in the same spot while you’re doing the robot, bending down to a lower level is a great way to switch things up. Just bend both of your knees at the same time so they’re at about a 125-degree angle, and keep them bent like that when you dance. Don’t bend your knees too much or you might have a hard time balancing.  For a more dramatic effect, swing one of your arms back behind you and pretend to push an invisible pole into the back of your knee. At the same time, bend both of your knees. It will look like you’re bending your knees with the pole. When you’re ready to stand up again, straighten your legs using a slow, controlled motion. First, bend down so your legs are at a 125-degree angle. Then, hold your hand about 1 foot (0.30 m) above one of your knees, and...

TL;DR in English: Try ticking your arms and torso like they’re being controlled by cogs. Do a ticking wave to incorporate some hip-hop dancing into your routine. Bend your knees to do the robot closer to the floor. Pretend you’re controlling your legs with your hands.

Oysters taste best when you shuck them immediately before eating them. In addition, keeping oysters in their shells makes them easier to store and reduces the chance that they’ll go bad.  If your oysters came pre-shucked in a plastic container, store them in the freezer until you’re ready to use them. Leave the grit and dirt on the oysters. This will keep them moist and will help to insulate the meat. Grab a bowl, small cooler, or similar container that you can place inside your fridge. Make sure this container has an open top or removable lid. Then, pour a layer of ice into the bottom of the container.  Do not keep your oysters in a sealed or closed-top container. Doing so will suffocate them. You may need to change your ice during the refrigeration process, so do not pour any into the container if you won’t be able to check your oysters regularly. Just like seafood merchants, you’ll be storing your oysters on ice to keep them as chilled and fresh as possible. Make sure to turn each of your oysters so that the deeper side faces down, a technique that will help them better retain their juices. Dip a thin, clean kitchen towel in cold water and ring out the excess liquid. Then, gently lay the towel on top of the oysters. This will keep the oysters from drying out while preventing fresh water poisoning.  If you’d prefer, you can cover the oysters with damp paper towels or newspaper instead. Oysters are salt water creatures, so submerging them in fresh water will essentially poison them and lead to their death. If possible, set your refrigerator to a temperature between 35 and 40 °F (2 and 4 °C). Make sure to store your oysters above any raw meat so the juices don’t drip down onto your shellfish. If possible, check on your oysters at least once a day while they’re in the fridge. If the towel dries out, dampen it again. If the ice in your container melts, pour it out and replace it with new ice. For safety, remove and consume your oysters within about 2 days of initially storing them. Though some oysters may last...

TL;DR in English: Do not shuck or wash your oysters. Pour ice into a small bowl or other open-top container. Place your oysters on top of the ice bed deep side down. Dampen a towel with cold water and place it on top of the oysters. Place your container in a refrigerator. Keep your oysters in the fridge for up to 2 days. Shuck

. Correctly identifying the ants roaming around your kitchen is an extremely important first step in rectifying your ant problem. That is because there are many different ant species that all have different habits and behaviors which can affect the treatment needed to get rid of them.  Look at the ants in your kitchen and note their characteristics. Some characteristics to look for are their size and color. Ants in your kitchen are most likely either pharaoh ants or pavement ants, but it is possible they are a different species.  Once you know some identifying characteristics about the ants, do some online research to correctly determine the species of ants in your kitchen, and some of the best methods recommended for eliminating that species. Follow the ants that are already in your house for a few minutes, and try and find the spots where they are entering your home. Look inside the house around windows, doorways, and cracks in the floor, but also outside the house around doorways, windows, siding, and accent lights. If any ants are coming in and out through these points, focus on these areas in your cleaning efforts to ensure the ants don’t enter through these points. Once you have identified a trail and entry points from which the ants are entering your house, try and notice the trail that the ants follow out of your house. You will see that they all follow the same trail. That is because when they enter your home, they leave a scented trail behind them for the rest of the colony to follow. It won’t always be easy to find an ant nest, but if you do identify its location, you can spray the ant hill with a poison spray, or attack the ant problem at the source by baiting the ants in your house to take poison back to the nest, and kill the colony.

There are three different ways of calculating your premature baby's age, all of which must be taken into account when tracking your baby's growth and development.  The term gestational age refers to the baby's age as calculated from the mother’s first day of her last menstruation cycle. This number is very important for identifying your infant's development and growth levels before birth. Your baby's chronological age refers to the age that is calculated from the point that the infant is born. This term describes the age for all the newborns, and it represents your own age. The last term is called the corrected age which refers to the correct age of your infant as if they continued their natural uterine journey. It’s calculated by subtracting the number of weeks your baby was premature from their chronological age. For example,  if your infant was born four weeks early, and their age now is twelve weeks, this means that their corrected age equals eight weeks (Chronological age “12” – Early weeks time “4” = Corrected age “8”). It's important to understand that while a premature baby's development may be slow in terms of their chronological age, it might be right on track in terms of their corrected age. Therefore, it's important to keep the corrected age in mind when watching out for issues with growth and development. Premature babies tend to gain weight more slowly than full-term babies, but this is usually not a cause for concern. A record is kept with the doctor and chart is plotted on a graph to check whether the baby's weight gain is on track.  Full-term babies usually gain weight at a rate of 30 ounces per day. However, the rate of weight gain will be slightly different for a premature baby. Premature baby’s tend to gain weight at a slightly slower rate than full-term. Hence keeping weight records helps you and your doctor to understand and track their progress. Premature babies are prone to infections, as their immune system is not yet fully developed. Hence these kids tend to have low immunity and are...

TL;DR in English: Understand the difference between your baby's gestational age, chronological age and corrected age. Observe your premature baby's weight gain. Look for the development of ear infections. Be watchful for any problems with your baby's eyes. Take note of when the baby reaches certain milestones. Observe when the baby first starts picking things up. Keep track of when your baby starts to smile, roll over and "speak". Be aware that premature infants may take a while to start crawling or walking.

Class is a time to learn new things and solidify the information that you may have learned in the previous class. If you don’t go to class, it is much more difficult to stay current with the material.  Ask questions in class. Your teacher is there to make sure you have a solid grasp on the material. If you have a question, don’t hesitate to ask it. Some of the other students in the class likely have the same question. Prepare for class by reading the lesson you are going to cover ahead of time and know the formulas, theorems, and postulates by heart. Pay attention to your teacher while you are in class. You can talk to your classmates at break or after school. Geometry is the math of shapes and angles. To understand geometry, it is easier to visualize the problem and then draw a diagram. If you're asked about some angles, draw them. Relationships like vertical angles are much easier to see in a diagram; if one isn't provided, draw it yourself.  Understanding the properties of shapes and visualizing them is essential to succeeding in geometry. Practice recognizing shapes in various orientations and based on their geometric properties (the measure of angles, number of parallel and perpendicular lines, etc.). Study groups are a good way to learn the material and clarify concepts you don’t understand. Having a group that meets on a regular schedule will also force you to stay on top of the material and try your best to comprehend it. Studying with classmates is useful when you come to more difficult topics. You can work through them together to figure them out. One of your study mates may understand something that you don’t and help you out with it. You might also be able to help them understand something and learn it better by teaching them. A protractor is a semicircle-shaped tool used to measure the degree of an angle. It can also be used to draw angles. Knowing how to properly use a protractor is an essential skill in geometry. To measure the degree of an angle:  Align the center hole of the protractor over...

TL;DR in English: Attend every class. Draw diagrams. Form a study group. Know how to use a protractor. Do all of the assigned homework. Teach the material. Do lots of practice problems. Seek extra help.

There is no crafting recipe for obsidian. Instead, any time flowing water hits a stationary lava "source" block, the lava turns into obsidian. You can find stationary lava in the following places:  Lava is easiest to find as "lava falls" in caves and ravines. Only the top block is a source block. Lava is very common in the bottom ten layers of the map. Dig down diagonally to avoid falling in it. Rarely, you can find lava lakes on the surface, but never more than about twenty blocks above sea level.  Some villages have a single smithy with two blocks of lava, visible from the outside. Craft a bucket out of three iron ingots. Use the bucket on the lava to scoop it up. You can only scoop up stationary blocks of lava, not flowing lava. In the computer crafting system, arrange the iron in a "V" shape. Make sure the hole is contained, and that nothing flammable is within two blocks in any direction. Wood, tall grass, and many other objects will catch fire near lava. Remember, only stationary (not flowing) lava will turn into obsidian. This means you will need one bucket of lava for every block of obsidian you want to make. Remember, without a diamond pickaxe you cannot mine the obsidian without destroying it. Make sure you want obsidian in that location before you continue. Use your now-empty bucket to scoop up water. Bring it to the lava pool you created and place the water above the lava so it flows down onto it. When the flowing water hits the lava, the lava will turn into obsidian. It's a good idea to build a temporary, non-flammable structure around the lava pool to prevent an annoying flood.

TL;DR in English: Find a pool of lava. Collect the lava in buckets. Dig a hole where you want the obsidian. Pour the lava into the hole. Send water over the lava.

A simple blood test can determine whether your FSH levels are higher or lower than normal for your circumstances. If the test reveals abnormal FSH levels, your doctor will use additional testing to diagnose the underlying cause(s) before developing a treatment plan with you.  In males, normal FSH levels range from 1.4 to 15.5 IU/ml. The range for females is much wider, depending on their age and menstrual cycle. To diagnose the cause of abnormal FSH levels, your doctor may look at hormonal panels that compare the level of certain hormones in the body (such as GnRH and estrogen), or they may do a biochemical analysis, which looks at enzymes and other substances that affect the operation of certain organs and glands. In certain situations, you doctor may turn to radiographic methods to diagnose the cause of abnormal FSH levels, such as ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI. FSH levels are determined by a complex and delicate network of hormones. Therefore, there are a large number of conditions that can affect your body's production of FSH. These underlying conditions must be identified and treated in order for FSH levels to return to normal levels. Some of the most common conditions that can impact FSH include:  Aging: In females, FSH levels naturally increase during their 30s and 40s as menopause approaches. High FSH levels negatively impact fertility. Polycystic ovarian syndrome: With this condition, there are multiple cystic follicles in the ovaries, which leads to the excessive production of estrogens and androgens. High levels of these hormones can significantly lower FSH levels. Hypopituitarism: With this condition, the function of the pituitary gland is suppressed, which can greatly affect the levels of FSH, since this is where FSH is produced. Hypogonadism: As a result of many different syndromes, the diminished functional activity of the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) can interfere with FSH levels. Tumors: A tumor in one of several different locations—such as the pituitary gland, the ovaries,...

TL;DR in English: See your doctor for FSH testing and diagnosis. Familiarize yourself with conditions that can impact FSH levels. Follow the therapy regimen recommended by your medical team. Undergo surgery, if necessary, to remove any tumors or cysts.

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves long sterilized needles that are inserted into key points of your body. Acupuncture is effective at treating many forms of pain, though studies have not clearly shown what its most effective uses are. It is as safe as other forms of medicine, as long as the needles are sterilized and the acupuncturist is experienced.  Find an acupuncturist who is licensed by the state. Try acupuncture in combination with visiting a chiropractor and attending physical therapy. Back pain caused by muscle tension or overuse can be relieved by massage. Let your masseuse know where you hurt, and speak up if they do anything that feels painful or wrong. The body compensates for pain by using other muscles that are not usually used. These muscles become sore and tight, and massage can relieve some of this tension. Taking classes with an experienced yoga or pilates teacher can be an excellent way to strengthen and relax your back muscles. Some kinds of yoga will be better for your back than others. Ask your doctor or physical therapist for recommendations. When you stretch, stop if something hurts or feels off. You may need to skip or adjust some stretches to accommodate your injury.

The first step is to decide who you wish to target for your product or service. Certainly, it would be great if the entire world wanted what you have, but that is not realistic. For example, if you manufacture car parts, then your target market is going to be those people who own or work on cars. But if you are a musician specializing in children's music, then your target market will be parents of small children, or perhaps the children themselves. Identifying your target market will help you later decide how to advertise and maximize the value of your marketing resources. Many sources are available online from a variety of reliable, government sources. In the United States, some of the most applicable sources for conducting your market research may be:  U.S. Census Bureau, www.census.gov www.business.gov, contains links to state and national data about businesses Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov U.S. Department of Commerce, www.commerce.gov By identifying your target market, you will be able to focus your marketing resources and increase your overall profits. The goal is not to exclude anyone, but rather to pinpoint your most likely customers. Demographic characteristics include age, gender, marital status, family size, income, education level, occupation, race, and religion.  Demographic information can often be found online as a compilation of different reports from the federal government. Check the Census Bureau and Commerce Department websites. You can find a useful resource from the U.S. Census Bureau at https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/00. If you are marketing to other businesses, demographic information includes where the business is located, how many branches they have, their annual revenue, number of employees, industry, and how long the business has been running. You can usually gather this data from annual reports, which are public record. Contact the secretary of state's office in your state and ask for corporations data.

After the shower, there is only so much time before the moisture dries on your legs and dissipates. Wait too long and your skin may become dry enough that it not only loses the available moisture to be trapped, but it also invites the potential for allergens and bacteria. Most dermatologists seem to recommend starting out with a pea-sized amount and working your way up to more as necessary.  You don’t want to leave your legs feeling oily, so use as little as necessary. Put extra lotion on the knees to reduce roughness and darkness, and be sure to gently rub it in.  Apply liberally in the driest areas. Using a soft cloth so as to not aggravate the skin, spread the baby oil all over the leg.  Repeat on the other leg, using any excess from the first leg. Results will not be something that happens overnight.   Try to create a consistent habit so you can see positive results.

TL;DR in English: Wait no more than three minutes to apply your leg cream. Use a pea-sized dollop to start. Spread lotion onto your legs. Pour some baby oil on your legs for the extra morning shine. Repeat the steps above consistently.

Grease the inside of two 7-inch (17.78-centimeter) cake pans. To make the cakes easier to remove, consider lining each pan with a 7-inch (17.78-centimeter) circle of parchment paper. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl first. Add the sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir everything together with a whisk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the soy milk, vanilla extract, olive oil, and vinegar into the well. Stir everything together with a whisk until the color and texture are consistent. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any leftover batter out of the bowl and into the pans. Gently tap the sides of each pan to help settle any air bubbles. The cakes are ready when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. If the cakes are not ready by then, continue baking them at 5-minute intervals; check the cakes for doneness with the toothpick between each interval. Use oven mitts or a potholder to take the cakes out of the oven and transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Allow the cakes to cool off completely, then remove them from the pans. Run a knife along the inside of each pan first, then invert the pans to release the cake. Mix the powdered sugar, vegan butter, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk together using an electric mixer. Start off with a low speed, then work your way up to a high one. Keep mixing until the frosting is creamy and smooth. The frosting should be thin enough to spread, but thick enough to hold onto the spatula. If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar; if it's too thick, add more milk. Set one of the cakes onto a plate, and spread some of the frosting on top with an off-set cake decorating spatula. Add the second cake on top, then finish coating the top and sides with the rest of your frosting.  For a more flavorful cake, add some sliced strawberries inside the cake, and whole strawberries on top.  If you are preparing the cake ahead of time, hold off on the strawberries until serving time, or the cake will get soggy.

TL;DR in English: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Mix together the dry ingredients. Whisk in the wet ingredients. Distribute the batter evenly between both pans. Bake the cakes in the center of the oven for 30 minutes. Cool the cakes on a rack before removing them from the pans. Prepare the frosting. Frost the cakes.

The hair section should be centered so that it is surrounded by more hair on all sides. Lift this section and hold it up vertically. You can either leave your bangs down or include them in the bump by joining them together. If you don't have a teasing brush, a fine-tooth comb will do. Run the brush or comb from the middle of the hair two the roots two to three times. The brush should penetrate only the back half of the hair section to maintain a neat look. Push the teased section up slightly and pin it into place with a wide hair clip. If your hair is thick, you may need more than one clip. Once your hair is secure, run your fingers through the straight portion of the hair section to blend it with the rest of your hair. A variety of leave-in hair inserts are available as a shortcut to the hair bump. Just section your hair as in step one, place the insert towards the back of your crown, and layer your hair over the insert. You can also use them to make a bump towards the front of your head using only your bangs instead. The three major types of inserts are:  Velcro: The velcro insert resembles a dome. Place the flat side against the top of your head. The velcro will both hold the insert onto your head and the hair section over top to form the hair bump.  Plastic: These crescent-shaped inserts are lined with teeth to hold hair in place. Position the curved part on the crown of your head like a head band. Many popular sets come with multiple sizes for different pouf heights.  Foam: Sponge hair rollers take a little more skill to use than other inserts. They must be clipped into place sideways over the crown using bobby pins. Some teasing may be necessary for the draped hair section to hide the insert from view.

TL;DR in English: Separate a four-inch wide section of hair from your crown. Backcomb the hair section slightly with a teasing brush to create the base for your bump. Take the teased section and loosely twist it a few times, leaving the straight half free and pointing downwards. Use hair volumizing inserts to skip the teasing and cut down on style time.

Before a tick is engorged with blood, its body is shaped like an oval with 2 major segments. After a tick is engorged, its head will remain small but its body will grow round and plump. How large a tick is when you find it depends on whether it has recently fed on blood. Before it has drunk any blood, a tick will be around the size of a pinhead. Immediately to several hours afterward, a tick will grow to around the size of a lima bean. In most cases, ticks have a hard exoskeleton. These are called hard or "authentic" ticks and are usually what people are talking about when describing ticks. Soft ticks with a flexible exoskeleton exist but are only found in select areas. Soft ticks are found in the western United States and southwestern Canada. Lone star ticks have a white, star-shaped design on their exoskeletons. If a bug does not have this design, it still may be a tick. This pattern is just a defining feature of this tick species. Black-legged ticks, as suggested by their name, have legs that are darker than their bodies. Like a lone star tick's black legs, this is a defining characteristic of black-legged ticks and may not be present on every tick.

TL;DR in English: Look for a round, ovular shape. Check for bugs that are between 1⁄2 to 2 in (1.3 to 5.1 cm) long. Examine its exterior for a protective hard body. Check for a star-shaped design on its back. Examine the bug for black legs.

Pull the car onto level, solid ground. Loosen the lug nuts with a lug wrench (tire iron) or impact wrench. Jack up the car. Remove the wheel. Submerge the tire in water. Watch for air bubbles.

Start by removing the laces from the holes at the top of your shoe—closest to your leg—and work your way down to the tip. After you remove your laces, stuff them into a sock—this allows you to clean them separately in the same load as your sneakers. Tie the end of the sock tightly with a lace or elastic band. If your shoes have laces that feed through plastic loops that hold them in place, don't bother removing them. Place all of your shoes into a pillowcase—whichever size accommodates your load—and twist the end tightly to hold it closed. Afterward, fasten the twisted end with a rubber band wrapped around it 2 times or more, depending on the size of the rubber band and the thickness of the twisted end.  Fold the twisted end in half before wrapping the rubber band around it to make it snugger. Usually, you can fit 2 to 3 pairs of shoes in a pillowcase. Put as many in as you want, but try not to stuff it too tight. Remember that not all shoe materials can be washed in a washing machine. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Put the pillowcase with your shoes and sock with your laces into the washer. Afterward, stuff the remaining space around the bags with rags to prevent the bags from hitting the walls. Finally, dump in 1 full cup of your favorite laundry detergent. If you have a top washer with a center turbine, wrap its edges with a towel. " Turn the load size dial to slightly before the "Medium" and hit the "Cold" button. Now, put the spin mode to "Delicate" on the "Normal" setting. Double-check your settings and then turn the washer on and wait! Always use the "Delicate" or—for older washers—"Knits Gentle" setting for your mesh shoes. This minimizes agitation of the fabric and prevents it from stretching. Indoor areas like a hayloft or shed or outdoor locations that provide enough shade are ideal. Never store your shoes in a basement, and avoid garages, as they often don't provide enough airflow.

Put your letter aside for a day or so and look at it with fresh eyes. Does your letter make sense? Have you said something in an unclear manner? If so, tinker with your sentences and paragraphs so that you are clearer. Also revise to make the letter as brief as possible. People are very busy. You might be able to combine sentences or paragraphs. Cut any unnecessary words. Typos, missing words, and other errors will reduce your credibility. Read over the letter to find these errors before sending. You can edit your letter by doing the following:  Ask another person to read the letter to find mistakes. Read the letter backwards. Start with the last sentence. Read it, then move to the sentence before it. This way, you’ll focus carefully on each sentence and find any errors. Read the letter out loud. Our eyes tend to correct errors when we read silently to ourselves. By reading out loud, you might stumble over an error. Senators typically do not provide email addresses for constituent comments. Instead, their websites provide webforms for you to fill in with your contact information, topic (often from a drop-down list), and comments. If you have already drafted a letter, copy the body of it and paste it into the “comments” block on the webform.  Senators create and operate their own websites. However, generally speaking, you’ll be asked to provide your name, address, email address, phone number, topic of your comments, and then your comments. For example, you’d submit comments to Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey at https://www.casey.senate.gov/contact/. Alternatively, you’d submit comments to Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey at https://www.toomey.senate.gov/?p=contact. Often, Senators won’t respond to letters. However, when they do, they send standardized responses. Don’t be offended. Check if your Senator voted how you wanted. If they did, thank them by sending a quick comment via their webpage. Senators usually receive lots of negative mail, so they'll appreciate the positivity.

TL;DR in English: Revise your letter. Edit the letter. Submit comments via webform instead of standard email. Read your response.

You might not want him to be your boyfriend, but you probably still care about his happiness. It can be very difficult know how to react when you see your ex around. Maybe you are in classes together or are members of the same sports club. If you do see your ex around quite often and you want to maintain some cordial relations with him and show him that you do care, don't blank or ignore him.  If you never speak, it is likely that any festering resentment between you will continue to grow. Just making an effort to acknowledge each other and smile when you see each other can demonstrate that you want to be friends. It can be very difficult to build a friendship with an ex so remain patient and don't expect to develop a good friendship quickly. It can be very awkward when you find yourself in a social situation with your ex and neither or you know quite how to approach it, or react to each other. Avoid any long silences by making neutral small talk about everyday things that are nothing to do with your relationship. If you can get used to just talking about normal things you can try to develop a platonic friendship.  Keeping conversation friendly but brief can help ease you both into the new relationship dynamic. You could say, "Hey, did you see the game last night?" You could ask about mutual friends or work. Being generally helpful and attentive will help you to indicate to your ex that you do still care about him. Small gestures can be a good way to show your ex that you still think of him. For example, if your ex used to love eating a particular candy bar and you find you have one left over from lunch, pass it on to him and just say "I had this left over, and thought you might want it".  If you just want to show your ex that you still care, not that you want to get back together make sure these gestures do not give the wrong impression. When you speak to him keep your tone friendly and polite but fairly neutral and unemotional. If he is still pining after you, a misjudged gesture could make things worse so...

TL;DR in English: Don't completely ignore your ex. Ease awkwardness with small talk. Make small gestures of friendship. Do social activities with mutual friends. Understand your ex might be unfriendly.

Choose plastic bags designed specifically for transporting fish—they should have flat bottoms when filled and be at least 3 mils thick (and ideally 4 or more mils). Likewise, use fish shipping containers that have sturdy cardboard outer boxes and inner Styrofoam boxes that fit inside perfectly.  You can order these online from companies that deal in exotic fish supplies. You might also find them in fish supply or pet stores. The bags and boxes come in various sizes. If you’re putting a single fish in each bag—which is the safest method—choose bags that are about 3 times as wide as your fish breed’s average length. Choose the box size based on the number of bags you intend to ship at a time. Your chosen shipper might not absolutely require fish-specific bags and boxes, but they’re your best bet for getting your fish to their destination. Move the fish you intend to ship to a separate tank that’s set at their ideal water temperature. Use an aerator and filter to keep the water clean, oxygen-rich, and conditioned properly based on the fish breed’s needs.  Do not feed the fish while they’re in isolation. You want them to create as little waste as possible during their journey. Check for any signs of disease during this time, since you don't want to ship out diseased fish—especially to a paying customer. During the 24-48 hour isolation period, incrementally reduce the water temperature from the ideal to the lower healthy limit for that fish breed. Turn down the tank’s heater a little more every few hours and check the progress with a tank thermometer.  This process will slow their metabolism, which means they’ll consume less oxygen and produce less carbon dioxide and waste. You might think you should increase the temperature to make up for heat loss during shipping, but the box’s insulation—along with heating pads, if needed—will take care of that.

TL;DR in English: Buy shipping bags and boxes designed for fish transport. Place your fish in an isolation tank for 24-48 hours without feeding them. Decrease the water temperature gradually to your fish breed’s lower limit.

Your vet may give you a container in which to collect the urine. If not, use a container from home that you will not use again.  Shallow containers, such as aluminum pie plates, work really well for collecting urine from female dogs. Here are other container options:  Empty cream cheese container  Shallow food storage container A dirty container could contaminate your dog’s urine, making a urinalysis difficult to interpret. Once you’ve chosen a container, wash it with warm, soapy water. Make sure it’s completely dry before using it to collect the urine. With the container ready for use, put a leash on your dog and take your dog outside. Having your dog on a leash will make sure your dog can't get away when you try to collect a urine sample.  If you have a backyard, take your dog out to where she usually urinates.  Consider timing the collection for when you know your dog will need to urinate, such as first thing in the morning or after a meal. Pay close attention to your female dog as she gets ready to urinate. You may not have a lot of time to collect the urine once your dog starts to urinate, so make sure you’re ready to act quickly. You will slide the container between your dog’s back legs, so try to stand beside or slightly behind your dog. Collecting the urine should be a gentle but swift process. When your female dog squats and begins to urinate, approach her slowly. With one hand, gently slide the container between her back legs. Consider setting the container on the ground instead of holding it.  If you hold the container, you may get some urine on your hand. Have some disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizer nearby in case your hand gets urine on it. Make sure the urine gets in the container. You may need to reposition the container if the urine is hitting the ground. Let your female dog finish urinating before you move the container away.

TL;DR in English: Choose a container. Wash and dry the container. Take your dog outside on a leash. Let your dog squat to urinate. Position the container in the urine stream.

You do not want the car to roll or sink once you have it jacked up. It is important to remember to loosen, or break, the lug nuts before you jack up the vehicle.  This way the weight of the vehicle is still on the wheels and it prevents them from spinning dangerously while you turn the lugs. Once the lugs have been loosened, it will be necessary to jack the car up so that the wheels can be removed.  As mentioned above, this should be done on level concrete or some other hard, level surface.  Some important things to remember when jacking up the care are:  Your service manual will recommend jacking points The most common way to elevate the car is a floor jack, or trolley jack. If you are unsure how to use one visit Lift a Car Using a Trolley Jack. You should use jack stands to stabilize the car.  A good tutorial on jack stands can be found at Use Jack Stands. If you have access to a hydraulic lift it will save you time. At this point, the lugs may be loose enough to remove by hand.  If not, finish removing the lugs with the lug wrench or impact wrench.  Once the lugs are removed, pull the wheel off of the wheelbase. If you are uncomfortable removing a wheel, read about how to Remove Lug Nuts and Tires. You can use a small kiddie pool, bathtub, or any other container large enough to hold the tire. You should add water until the tire is completely submerged and then allow the water to settle. Once the water has settled you might notice air bubbles escaping from the tire. If so, you have found your leak.

Refer back to the dimensions of the frame backing board you measured earlier. Using these measurements, place the ruler or T-square along the first edge of the mat and mark with a pencil on the back side of the mat where the cutting edge is to be. Start at the top edge of the mat and make a small notch every few inches. This will give you a dotted line to follow as you cut, and can help you realign the cutting trajectory if the ruler is to slip at any point. Always mark and cut from the back side of the mat. That way, none of your marks or cutting imperfections will be visible on the finished mat surface. Take the razor, box cutter or mat cutter tool and line it up with the edge of the ruler. Make sure the cutting edge is flush with the ruler; if you're using a mat cutter tool, it will be a sliding attachment with its own ruled edge to ensure that the cutter doesn't slip. When cutting manually, be sure to press firmly against the ruler or T-square to keep it from moving as you cut. Cut the mat with a slow, steady motion, applying equal pressure throughout the whole movement. Repeat the cutting process on the remaining three sides of the mat, checking again that the length and width are accurate and that you're cutting the right amount.  Bear down hard when cutting the mat. It's best to go all the way through on the first pass to keep the cut clean and straight, but if that's not possible then make several lighter passes, watching for crooked cuts. To continue a cut that is only partially complete, push down vertically with your blade until you go all the way through, adjust the angle of the blade, and resume cutting.  Remember: safety first. Severe injury can result from improper use of cutting tools. Cut slowly and keep all appendages out of the path of the blade. Cut the second mat board to the exact specifications of the first. You'll be using this mat as the window frame for the front of the picture. If you've selected a mat of a fanciful color or design, it should be the one you use for the window mat,...

TL;DR in English: Mark the first mat where it is to be cut. Cut the first (backing) mat. Cut the second (window frame) mat. Create layered mats. Secure the mats.

Jewelers are trained to recognize real and fake precious gems and stones. They can examine the stone under a magnifier to make sure it has the structure of a true jade and to check for signs of a fake. They will evaluate the properties of the stone and then tell you if it’s real or fake.  Typically, the jeweler will do these tests while you’re there. You may want to talk to more than 1 jeweler to get multiple opinions about the authenticity of the stone. Your jeweler can measure the density of the stone you suspect is jade using a spring scale and water displacement test. Then, they’ll compare the density to a jade density chart to see if it meets the standards of real jade. If it does, then your stone is likely real. However, it’s likely not real if the density of your stone is not consistent with jade. If you have concerns about the density test, ask your jeweler how they typically perform the test before they get started. They may even let you watch them do it. One of the benefits of seeing a jeweler is getting your stone valued. The jeweler can evaluate both the jade and its setting, if the stone is already part of a piece of jewelry. Ask them how much you can expect to sell the jade for, as well as if they think the value could increase over time.  Keep in mind that this valuation is still an estimate. It’s best to talk to multiple jewelers when you’re trying to estimate the value of a piece, but this can help you understand what your stone is worth.

Iron is important to your body. It helps make red blood cells. Those blood cells move oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. If you're cutting meat (a good source of iron), you'll need to add other foods with iron to your diet.  Some good sources of iron are broccoli, legumes (lentils, chickpeas, and baked beans), fortified cereals, enriched pasta, soybeans, tofu, dried fruit, and pumpkin seeds. Greens are also iron-rich, such as kale. If you eat these foods with foods high in vitamin C, your body will take in the iron more easily. Foods high in vitamin C include things like oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, tomatoes, broccoli, and strawberries. For instance, a good mixture to increase your iron would be a broccoli and chickpea salad with a squeeze of lemon juice. Some people may still need an iron supplement, especially girls who are having their periods. You may have heard calcium is good for strong bones. That's important when you're growing. You also may have heard that dairy is a great source of calcium. Many vegetarians still eat dairy, and if you are going to, that's one place you can get the calcium you need.  You can also get calcium by eating your greens (like kale). Figs are also a good source. Fortified soymilk, tofu, and fortified orange juice have calcium as well. A good meal for getting in some calcium might include sauteed kale tossed with some tofu or feta cheese, if you eat dairy. Vitamin D helps your body take in the calcium. That means your body can better use it for your bones. Most milk is fortified with this vitamin, and it is often included in fortified soy milk, too.  Interestingly, though, this is one area where you're like a plant. You can absorb vitamin D from being in the sun. You don't want to be out so long that you get burned, but just playing outside can be enough for you to get your vitamin D.  If you go outdoors to get your vitamin D, only stay in the sun for about 10 minutes. When spending more time in the sun, you need a sunscreen. Talk to your doctor to see if...

Ear infections in beagles need immediate care. In addition to making your beagle feel even more miserable, an untreated an ear infection could lead to permanent hearing loss and cause illness in other parts of his body. Your vet will use an instrument called an otoscope to take a closer look inside your beagle’s ears. They will also take a sample of the debris and/or discharge in his ears and look at it under the microscope. If your beagle’s ears are really painful and sensitive, your beagle would need to be sedated for the exam.  Your vet will examine your beagle as a whole to identify other potential causes of the ear infection (e.g., diabetes, diseases of the immune system).  Food allergies can cause chronic ear infections in dogs. If your vet suspects a food allergy, then you would need to conduct a food elimination trial with your vet’s guidance. In general, treatment for ear infections involves cleaning and medicating the ears. The type of medication needed depends on the cause of the infection (e.g., antibiotics for a bacterial infection, antifungals for a yeast infection). Steroids are used to reduce inflammation.  If your beagle has a severe infection, he will need a veterinary ear cleaning. For the procedure, your vet would anesthetize your beagle, flush his ears out with warm water and put medication in the ears.  Underlying health conditions would need to be treated and/or managed along with the ear infection. If mites are causing the ear infection, your vet will prescribe a medication to kill the mites. Surgery is a ‘last resort’ option for chronic ear infections when there is so much scarring that the ear canal is nearly closed. A veterinary specialist would remove the entire ear canal. Although this procedure is expensive, it is very effective at preventing future ear infections. and treat your beagle’s ears as prescribed. Successful treatment of your beagle’s ear infection depends on you administering the medications exactly as prescribed. When you clean his ears, apply the prescribed number...

Lift the carpet or trim near your amp and look for a bolt that has bare metal. Use the end of the ground cable that has a ring or bracket to attach to the bolt. Loosen the bolt with a socket wrench and pull it out. Line up the end of the cable with the hole before feeding the bolt through it. Tighten the bolt completely so the cable has solid contact with the metal. If there’s anything attached to the bolt, be sure to support its weight when you attach the cable so it doesn’t fall and break. Look for a blue wire with a white stripe that’s already attached to the back of your stereo, which is the turn-on wire. Leave the turn-on wire plugged into the stereo and remove 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of the insulation. Slide a butt connector, which is a small hollow tube that allows you to connect 2 wires, onto the end of the turn-on wire. Push the end of the remote wire into the other side of the butt connector. Crimp the middle of the connector with a wire crimper so it has a firm connection. The installation kit should come with butt connectors, but you can buy them at a hardware store if yours doesn’t. Look for the white and red RCA ports on the back of your stereo system, which will look similar to the ports on the back of the amp. Plug the red lead from the cable into the port with the red circle, and use the white lead in the white port. Push the RCA cable in firmly so it has a solid connection. If your stereo doesn’t have RCA ports, then plug them into a line output converter, which changes the signal coming from your stereo. Follow the wiring diagram on the output converter to connect it to your stereo system before plugging the RCA cable into the ports. Your installation kit will come with a fuse and a fuse holder. Push one side of the fuse holder onto the end of the power cord inside the engine bay, and screw it in to secure it. Push the fuse inside of the holder until it clicks into place before closing it. Connect another piece of the red power cable to the other side of the fuse holder and tighten the screw. ...

When he starts to let you get close to him, be friends first. There is no such thing as a girlfriend who isn't first and foremost a friend. In fact, the best girlfriend is one who is not always romantic, but one that is a friend. This does not mean betraying or belittling your own beliefs. Yours are every bit as important as his. Discuss them when you can.  Listen to what he has to say. Always hear him out. Take the opportunity to learn new facts about him. Respect what he says but form your own opinions about them. Have conversations with him. Attraction often starts when we have a great emotional connection with someone by really bonding with him. Try to have interesting, funny, playful conversations with him to establish that bond. It doesn't matter what you talk about. The important thing is that you have meaningful interaction.  Ask him about his background — his parents, his childhood, his siblings. These things are personal, so be respectful. Offer to share your own background to give him a better idea of who you are. Ask him about his goals — what he always dreamed about being, what he's interested in, what makes him happy. You can learn a lot about a person from his goals. Start thinking about your own goals so that you can share them with him. No matter how much you trust your friends, if they ever become mad at you they could go behind your back and tell him something you said about him.  Stick up for him if he gets teased or involved in a fight. Don't let him wonder whether or not you're his friend — make it absolutely clear. Don't gossip about him. Gossip has a way of spreading like wildfire. You don't want juicy stuff getting back to him quite yet. Shut down the gossip.

After high school, apply for internships through paleontology organizations, universities, and museums. You can learn about internship opportunities through your university and through local natural history museums. Many paleontology organizations offer internships in paleontology, as well as nonprofit-oriented work.  Keep up on searching for internships all year, because companies and organizations often post opportunities online. You can do a simple online search for internships in the field of your interest to start finding opportunities.  For example, the Bighorn Basin Paleontological Institute offers internships in fossil preparation, digitizing collections, education, grant writing, marketing and promotion, web development, and nonprofit management. It could be helpful to speak to a paleontologist at a local museum to tell you how to start collecting fossils on your own. The Paleontological Society lists mentorship programs that are hosted by the Geological Society of America. These programs offer travel scholarships and grants, as well as a luncheon for undergrads and grads to meet faculty mentors. During the Paleontological Society Mentors in Paleontology Career Luncheon, grads and undergrads can listen to and speak to a panel of professionals about careers in paleontology. Fieldwork looks good on college and scholarship applications. You may consider joining private digs through museums in states such as Utah, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado.

Take the high-cotton sewing thread into your hand. The cotton thread is what you are going to use to pull out the hairs. First, though, you need to prepare the thread for the threading process.  Fold the thread over onto itself. That’s why it needs to be so long. You’re essentially turning the thread into a long loop. To create the loop, tie the ends of the thread together. To do this, just make a knot at the end of the thread. The thread should not be open at either end. It should now form a large and continuous loop.

Have your model squeeze a some oil in their hands and rub oil over their entire body so their muscles look smooth and bold. The oiled up appearance will make the model glow, especially against a dark background. The oil will also help define highlights and lowlights in the image.  Avoid using too much oil. The amount will vary depending on the person's size and the type of oil, but you want the model to look realistic, not slippery. You can use baby oil or coconut oil. Using a spray bottle, lightly spray drops of water over the bodybuilder’s forehead, hair, and neck so it looks like they are sweating. To create an authentic image, you want the bodybuilder to look like they just finished a workout.  Avoid spraying too much water so it looks like they are wet. Just a few drops will work great! A little water also helps capture highlights. Take full-body shots while the bodybuilder flexes their chest, legs, arms, and back.  When photographing bodybuilders, you want to show off all their muscles in 1 image. Try out both serious and playful looks. Snap some shots with the model facing you directly, then try having them turn around. Ask them to pause as they turn, and take some pictures from different angles. Snap a diversity of images, capturing the bodybuilder’s chest, back, and side muscles. While you can steer the photo shoot and recommend poses and body placement, it is fun and productive to let the model organically pose and show off their body. Encourage them to smile and be themselves so their individual personality comes out on camera. Give your models some freedom, and you’ll get great shots. Perhaps they love their abs the most and want you to focus on abdominal shots. Try taking some photographs with work-out related items in addition to your full body shots.

For example, if you’re really into fashion, you might follow someone else who’s into fashion and frequently posts images of their outfits. Or, if you are a fan of baking, you could follow someone who posts images of things they bake. There are many ways to connect with people who share your interests online, and this is a great way to meet people who would make good friends for you. If you already know you have a shared interest, you’ll have something to talk about and bond over right away. Find online groups on social media, such as on Facebook, or special interest forums on websites, such as Reddit. Meetup.com is another great option for finding people who share your interests. For example, if you’re an avid knitter, join a knitting forum on Reddit or Facebook, or look for a group that meets locally on Meetup.com. If you love to identify birds while hiking, then join a bird enthusiast group through Facebook or Meetup.com. If you’re a gamer and you play certain games regularly, using a headset to chat with people in the game is a great way to meet people who might become your friends. Join in the voice chat often when you play games.  Popular video games where you might meet people include Fortnite, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, and DOTA. You can also meet other gamers by watching people who stream on Twitch and participating in the chat. Make sure to be respectful when you participate in a voice chat. Avoid making rude comments if someone makes a mistake or using inappropriate language, which could get you banned or blocked from the voice chat. Friend-dating is a way of finding people who you connect with similar to how you might look for a significant other. There are numerous friend-dating apps available that make it easy to find and connect with people who share your...

TL;DR in English: Follow people who interest you on social media. Join a niche interest forum or group online. Talk to people in video games you play regularly. Make a profile on a friend-dating app or website.

In a pinch, you can also sharpen eyeliner with a knife, such as an X-acto knife or a pen knife. Hold the pencil in your non-dominant hand, and the knife in your dominant hand. Point the pencil downward. Hold the knife perpendicular to the pencil, with the tip an inch or so from the point of the pencil. With the thumb your non-dominant hand, push the knife to the end of the pencil (to the tip). The shavings should come off in thin strips. Repeat this process all the way around the circumference of the pencil. Repeat until sharp.

TL;DR in English:


Learn the signs your snake is about to shed. Create a moist shedding box. Mist the cage with lukewarm water. Manage the cage's humidity.

Column-shaped cacti often have less sections than other types, so it can be crucial to decide only what is needed to be cut. The columns store water and collect sunlight for the whole plant, so removing too much can be dangerous for the plant. Pruning the columns will be similar to sawing a tree branch off. You will want to make preliminary cuts a few inches above the base of the column, which is where the final cut is going to be made.  The first cut should be about ¼ of the way into the column, on the top or inner side, a few inches above the base. A second cut (similar in size) approximately 1 inch below the first, but on the bottom/outer side, will then help to control the weighted fall of the column when you make the final cut. Before making your final cut, make sure the area is clear where the cut portion will fall. From a safe place, starting at the top, inner side at the base where the cactus column has begun growing, saw through completely. You may continue repeating these types of cuts as needed to remove all unhealthy or overgrown areas. Keep in mind not to overdo it though so the plant does not suffer from over-pruning.

TL;DR in English: Decide which sections will need to be cut. Saw the necessary portions. Work through the unhealthy or overgrown sections.

Whether you use a landline or a cell phone, you can save money if you make frequent calls to France. Depending on your provider, you could purchase an international calling plan for a flat fee or a reduced per-minute rate. Ask your service provider about flat monthly fees and overage charges for calls to France. Many apps, such as Vonage, Skype, or WhatsApp, allow you to call France for a steep discount or even for free. Weigh the options of how much the app costs versus how much it will save you in charges. Shop around for the app that’s best for your calling habits. Consider how long you’re planning to talk, how often you plan to call, and whether you’re calling a landline or a cell phone. If you don’t have a smartphone, phone services through VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) allow you to call landlines, cell phones, or computers. Through VoIP providers like Vonage or Magic Jack, you can call France and many other European countries for a fraction of what you would pay through a traditional landline service. You can talk to anyone in France or anywhere else in the world free of charge over many video chat services. Be sure to check the fine print. With Skype, for example, your chat is free only if your contact is also using Skype and if you’re only talking to one other username. Three-way chats cost extra. Choose texting if you want to send short messages on an infrequent basis. If you want to let your friend in Paris know you’ve arrived in New York safely, $0.15 for a single text is the more affordable option than the $0.99 per minute a voice call could cost you.

TL;DR in English: Contact your phone company for a calling plan. Download an app to your smartphone. Look into VoIP services. Consider video chat. Consider text messaging.

There are some foods that may upset your stomach that seem perfectly harmless for other people.  Pay attention to what your stomach is telling you after you eat, and if you don’t feel well, try omitting those foods that trigger you.  Unless you see an allergist or have a specific list of foods to avoid from your physician, this is largely a trial-and-error effort and will take some time to figure out. Gas is a natural byproduct of any food that you don’t digest.  Also, some foods naturally cause gas when they are being digested.  In either case, limiting gas-causing foods may relax and calm your stomach.  You might be lactose intolerant, which is much different than being allergic to milk.  Lactose intolerance is pretty common and is the culprit behind many upset stomachs.  It often develops as people get older, and it is more prominent in certain cultures than others. Some vegetables, such as cauliflower, onions, cucumbers, corn, and broccoli can cause a gassy stomach. Other people find that starchy foods, like potatoes or pasta, upset their stomachs. Eating smaller portions is not only great for managing your weight but is quite helpful in preventing stomach upset.  It’s quite simple: the larger your portions, the more your stomach expands, the more it has to work to digest food, and the more gas you’ll produce from undigested foods.  Eat smaller portions five or six times per day to help prevent an uncomfortable stomach. Your stomach makes up a significant portion of the core of your body and is responsible for your abilities to sit upright and turn at the waist.  Excess weight makes this more challenging for your abdominal muscle groups and can lead to stomach unrest.  Also, most of your internal organs are housed in your core, and excess weight can cause your organs to get pushed or moved, causing stomach discomfort. Yoga has a host of benefits, including flexibility, increased blood flow, and a sense of emotional and cognitive calm.  Additionally, yoga can help relax your stomach, whether it is upset...

TL;DR in English: Don’t eat trigger foods. Avoid foods that cause gas. Eat smaller portions more frequently. Manage your weight. Take a yoga class. Take an over-the-counter medicine.

Even if your old laptop is a little slow or doesn’t seem to work at all, there may be someone out there who wants to buy it. Advertise your laptop for sale online or around your neighborhood, making sure to list any issues with it and any specifications you can work out. Some people will purchase old laptops for different parts. For them, it doesn’t matter if the laptop isn’t working, as long as it’s in a good physical condition. Many different electronics stores and laptop companies have programs where you can trade in your old technology for a small payment. Look online or ask at your local electronics store to find a trade-in program near you that can give an estimate of how much they will pay for old laptops.  Best Buy, Apple, and Amazon all have trade-in programs that operate all over the United States. Make sure to compare the amounts and payment methods between different programs to get the best deal for your old laptop. If your laptop is still in working order, you might be able to donate it to a family or individual in need of their own computer. Look online for local computer-based charities that are looking for donations of laptops to find somewhere to give yours away to.  The National Cristina Foundation and the World Computer Exchange are both charities that handle electronics. Many electronics and laptops can have toxic substances in them, such as lead, mercury or cadmium. To try and make disposing of potentially dangerous electronics safe, a lot of places around the world have set up electronics recycling plants. Look online for one near you. Some recyclers may require you to drop off your electronics at one of a few places around your local area, where others may offer a pick-up service. Do your research to find the one that will work best for you. If there is no other way to dispose of your laptop safely, you can throw it away in your regular garbage. Be aware that this can be very damaging to the environment and should be used as an absolute last option. Many states in the U.S. have passed...

TL;DR in English: Sell your computer. Trade in your laptop for cash or gift cards. Donate your old laptop. Take it to an electronics recycler. Throw it away as a last resort.

It may seem like your parents are yelling for two or three hours, but if you look at the clock, you will see that very few parents have the stamina to do so. If you respond correctly to the yelling, your parents might stop. Tell yourself that you're strong enough to endure the yelling. All kids have to deal with yelling parents at least sometimes. Remain silent. If you speak, your parents will most likely take it as backtalk, rudeness, or lack of filial piety (even if your words are polite). They may also be in a bad mood in general and taking it out on you, even if you did nothing to make them yell. . Try to pay attention to how your body feels while you're being yelled at, with mindfulness. Chances are you are feeling tense and tightly wound. If this is the case, taking deep, measured breaths will help you remain calmer and looser. Sometimes detaching from harsh treatment is a good way to make sure that you don't take the yelling too personally. It's important not to take yelling personally because when parents are dealing with problems in other parts of life, they can end up angered by relatively minor things. This is not your fault.  The best way to disengage while listening is to focus on your parents' faces. Notice the details of their features and the strain from yelling. Rather than trying to make sense of what your parent is saying, look at the desperation and frustration you see them experiencing. This way you will remember that even though you're the one being yelled at, your parents are going through a rough moment, too. Again, this may even be due to stress that you did not directly cause. For example, get them a glass of water if they are thirsty. This will, especially if you were not wrong, bring them to be remorseful and feel that they have done wrong by yelling. Make sure you don't have your head in the clouds completely--otherwise you won't know why your parent is upset. If the yelling subsides for long enough to step in, try paraphrasing or re-stating what your parents said to show that you...

TL;DR in English: Understand that yelling is not eternal. Do not speak, cry or whimper during the session of yelling. Breathe Let yourself disengage a little. Do a good deed for your parents. Keep listening. Think before responding . Leave the room politely if yelling seems excessive.

You want to start preparing for the shedding process before it even begins. To do so, you'll have to keep an eye on your snake and watch for the signs that it is about to shed. When you start noticing signs, begin to prepare.  Watch your snake's eyes. They will have a dull, blueish white appearance just before the snake begins to shed. You should also take note of the snake's current skin. The skin will begin to dull just before shedding. Snakes need a lot of humidity to shed properly. One way you can increase the humidity in your snake's environment is with a shedding box. Take a box, like a shoebox, and make sure it is well ventilated by poking holes throughout. Place damp paper towels within the box, allowing the snake a damp place to shed. You can also try misting the cage lightly to increase humidity. Take a spray bottle and fill it with lukewarm water. You can also mist your snake with water just before shedding, if your snake will allow this. Monitor the humidity in your snake's environment. You can get a device at a pet store, or a department store, that measures humidity in your snake's cage. During the shedding process, snakes need a cage that is between 50 and 70% humidity. If the humidity in your snake's cage is below this level, there are several steps you can take to improve humidity.  Add a large water dish to the cage. Cover the top of the cage. If you have a screen top on the cage, you can safely cover half the top to increase humidity. Try using orchid bark substrate, which refers to the bedding that lines the bottom of the cage. Orchid bark tends to hold more humidity than other products.

TL;DR in English:


Use the standard formula for sample size. The standard formula for sample size is:  Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 / 1 + [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 * N]   N = population size  z = z-score

Look at the equation. Plug in your values. Do the math.

Harden off your plants by taking them outside little by little to get used to the sun, rain, and cold before exposing them to the elements permanently.

Muggers and other violent criminals try to prey on easy targets: people who aren’t very aware of their environment and who can be ambushed easily. So, instead of walking with your head pointed down looking at your phone, stand up straight, walk briskly, and keep your shoulders back and chin up. Avoid making eye contact with anyone who you feel may be following you, but do glance around yourself so you’re aware of your surroundings. If a would-be attacker feels that you’d make a difficult target, they’ll leave you alone. If the potential aggressor starts to speak to you roughly, say calming things to diffuse the situation. Ideally, you’ll calm the aggressor down, or at least buy yourself enough time to leave the scene. Try saying something like, “Look, I don’t think there’s any reason for you to be aggressive. I’m going to get in my car and drive away now. Don’t follow me.” Even if the aggressor raises their voice or says insulting things, don’t get into a shouting match. Stay calm and try to diffuse the situation so you can leave. When someone is approaching you aggressively, try to get away by ducking into your vehicle, walking inside a business, or blending into a crowd. If you have a chance to flee and escape a potential attack without fighting, do it. Try throwing a wallet or watch in 1 direction and then run in the opposite direction to escape. Or, if an attacker asks for your wallet, credit cards, jacket, or shoes, hand the items over. It’s not worth potentially losing your life just to hang on to some money. In nearly all cases, attackers look for victims who they can easily—and quietly—subdue. Most will avoid loud situations that could draw other people (or even the police) to the scene. So, if someone is approaching you and may attack, loudly shout “Back off!”  If they advance further, keep shouting. Yell something like, “Get out of here!” or “Leave me alone!” If you have a cell phone with you, you could pull it out and shout, “I’m calling 911 right now if you don’t back off!” in case the aggressor...

TL;DR in English: Project confidence and awareness so that you’re not an easy target. Talk your way out of a fight to avoid physical violence. Escape the scene to lose the attacker if you have the opportunity. Shout at the aggressor to deter them from attacking you. Stand in a defensive position

Your tongue may be very sore after the initial piercing. It's a good idea to stick to an exclusively liquid diet at this point. Aim for foods like broths and apple sauce. You can also try things like smoothies and yogurt if you find solid foods bother you. Once some of the initial pain passes, you can transition back into eating soft, bland foods. Stick to things like Jell-O, ice cream, and even baby foods. Warmer soft foods, like mashed potatoes, can be safe if they don't bother you. Remember to stay away from spicy and seasoned foods, too. Some people have a limited tolerance for warm foods while their tongue piercing is healing. Hot coffees and teas can aggravate a tongue piercing, so stick to cool beverages during the healing process. If you're a coffee drinker, try swapping out your hot coffee for iced coffee while pain persists. Very spicy or acidic foods should be generally avoided. They can cause pain if they get into an open wound. Stay away from spicy dishes and avoid acidic foods like citrus fruits. If your pain starts to subside, introduce these kinds of foods back into your diet very slowly. Anything that's hard to chew is best to avoid while you're healing from a tongue piercing, as such foods can get lodged in your wound and damage the piercing. Hard foods and chewy foods, like nuts or things like caramel, should be strictly avoided while you heal from a piercing. Tongue piercings usually heal within three to four weeks with proper care. Within this timeframe, pain should begin to subside. At this point, you can start transitioning back into your normal eating habits.

TL;DR in English: Stick to liquids at first. Introduce soft, bland foods. Keep your beverages cold. Avoid spicy or acidic foods. Stay away from foods that are difficult to chew. Resume normal eating habits after three to four weeks.

If you have a small to moderate population and know all of the key values, you should use the standard formula. The standard formula for sample size is:  Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 / 1 + [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 * N]   N = population size  z = z-score  e = margin of error  p = standard of deviation Replace the variable placeholders with the numerical values that actually apply to your specific survey.   Example: Determine the ideal survey size for a population size of 425 people. Use a 99% confidence level, a 50% standard of deviation, and a 5% margin of error. For 99% confidence, you would have a z-score of 2.58. This means that:   N = 425  z = 2.58  e = 0.05  p = 0.5 Solve the equation using the newly inserted numerical values. The solution represents your necessary sample size.  Example: Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 / 1 + [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 * N] = [2.582 * 0.5(1-0.5)] / 0.052 / 1 + [2.582 * 0.5(1-0.5)] / 0.052 * 425]  = [6.6564 * 0.25] / 0.0025 / 1 + [6.6564 * 0.25] / 1.0625]  = 665 / 2.5663 = 259.39(final answer)
