While everyone's face is different, there are seven general shapes: round, heart-shaped (base-up triangle), triangular (base down), square, rectangular, oblong and oval.  Round faces tend to have full cheeks and rounded, full forehead and chin. Celebrities with round faces include Kirsten Dunst, Chrissy Tiegen, and Leonardo DiCaprio. The phrase "heart-shaped face" can be a bit misleading; a heart-shaped face is really more like an upside down triangle, with a wide forehead that narrows to a pointed chin. A heart shaped face can be long and graceful or more rounded, but both tend to have high, angled cheekbones. Celebrities with heart-shaped faces include Reese Witherspoon, Christina Ricci, Jennifer Aniston, Ryan Gosling, and Bradley Cooper. Triangular faces tend to have narrow foreheads and a wide, strong jaw (the jaw itself is often angular). Examples of celebrities with triangular faces include Queen Latifah, Minnie Driver, Kelly Osbourne, and Chris Pine. Square faces have strong, wide foreheads and equally strong, wide chins. They are also proportionate in the length and width of the face. Famous square faces include Olivia Wilde, Rosario Dawson, Josh Hutcherson, and Nick Lachey. Rectangular faces are very similar to square, but with a longer length than width, such as Demi Moore, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie. Oblong and oval faces are very similar as well; they are both rounded and proportional, but an oval face has a more pointed chin. Examples of celebs with oblong faces include Kim Raver, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jude Law; examples of famous oval faces include Liv Tyler, Kim Kardashian, and Adam Levine. Pull or pin your hair back away from your face so that you can see your face clearly. Many faces do not fit clearly into only one specific type but have features that resemble two or even more types. In that case, you're lucky! You will more options as you look for eyeglass frames. Tracing carefully around the outline of your face in the mirror, with your face relaxed, outline your forehead, down each...

TL;DR in English: Know the basic face shapes. Look in a mirror to determine the shape of your face. Use a dry erase marker to outline the shape of your reflection. Determine if your face is angular or soft.

Toothpastes are a key part of your oral hygiene routine as they help remove food debris and plaque from your teeth and gums. Toothpastes can come in a gel, paste or powder form and while they may have similar ingredients, there are different kinds of toothpastes that are made for individual needs.  Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water. Toothpastes with fluoride help prevent tooth decay by strengthening your tooth enamel and fighting away bacteria that cause cavities. Fluoride toothpaste is also recommended for toddlers and children but in a lower percentage. Too much fluoride can weaken the enamel. For children younger than three years, an amount equal to a grain of rice is enough. For children aged three to six years, use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Whitening toothpastes usually contain mild abrasives that are typically mineral compounds such as magnesium carbonate, hydrated aluminum oxides and calcium carbonate. These help remove surface stains that cause yellowing and help you to achieve a brighter tooth surface. Whitening toothpastes also often contain a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide, a bleaching agent that helps remove stains. Whitening toothpastes that contain hydrogen peroxide, which is effective, but it can cause sensitivity. You can ease the sensitivity by alternating between a whitening and sensitivity toothpaste every day.  Desensitizing toothpastes are best for people who have sensitive gums and teeth. These contain compounds such as potassium nitrate and potassium citrate with soothing effects to reduce sensitivity. To improve the effectiveness of these products, leave them on for at least two minutes before rinsing with water. For people with fluoride sensitivity, toothpastes with natural ingredients such as xylitol, green tea extract, papaya plant extract, citric acid, zinc citrate and baking soda are also effective in whitening and thoroughly cleaning teeth. Both manual and electric powered toothbrushes can effectively clean teeth. People who have...

TL;DR in English: Choose the right toothpaste. Pick the right toothbrush. Keep your toothbrush clean. Brush your teeth twice a day. Choose the right floss. Floss your teeth regularly. Use a mouthwash. Try using a water pick. Ask your dentist about other cleaning tools. Rinse your mouth with water. Avoid smoking.

For mild allergic conjunctivitis, an oral over-the-counter allergy medication may be enough to clear your symptoms within several hours to a few days. If it doesn't go away quickly, it's probably bacterial or viral.  Try an antihistamine. The body reacts to allergens by producing chemicals called histamines, and these chemicals are the culprit behind pink eye and other allergy symptoms. An antihistamine reduces these levels or blocks the histamines completely, thereby stopping your symptoms.  Use a decongestant. While decongestants do not stop the allergen from affecting you, they do control inflammation. In doing so, they can help prevent eye tissue from getting inflamed. Whenever drainage begins to build in your eye, you need to wipe it away to prevent bacteria from festering.  Wipe the eye starting at the inside corner, next to the nose. Gently pass over the entire eye toward the outside corner of the eye. This wipes the discharge away from your tear ducts and safely out of your eye. Wash your hands before and after cleaning your eyes. Use a clean surface for each wipe or pass to avoid getting discharge back in the eye. Immediately discard tissues or disposable eye wipes. Toss any washcloths into the laundry immediately after use. "Artificial tears" can relieve symptoms and flush the eye out.  Most over-the-counter eye drops are mild saline lubricants designed to replace tears. They can soothe dryness associated with pink eye, and they can also wash the eye of contaminants that could complicate and prolong viral, bacterial, or allergic conjunctivitis. Some over-the-counter eye drops also contain antihistamines that are useful in treating allergic conjunctivitis. Soak a soft, clean, lint-free cloth in water. Wring it out to remove excess water and apply it to closed eyes using gentle pressure.  Cold compresses are usually best for allergic conjunctivitis, but warm compresses might feel better. Both warm and cold compresses reduce swelling in the event of viral or bacterial conjunctivitis. Note that...

TL;DR in English: Try taking allergy medicine. Clean the infected eye regularly. Apply over-the-counter eye drops. Use a cold or warm compress. Remove your contacts. Prevent the condition from spreading.

Make sure that both the TV and DVR are off before connecting them. You can keep both devices plugged into a power source as long as they remain off while you connect them. Plug the DVI end of a standard HDMI-to-DVI cable into the DVI In port on the back or side of your TV. If you cannot find an HDMI-to-DVI cable, you can use a standard HDMI cable and an HDMI-to-DVI adapter. Simply plug one side of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the adapter and plug the DVI connector on the adapter into the DVI In port on your TV. Plug the HDMI end of the same HDMI-to-DVI cable into the HDMI Out port on the back of your DVR box. If using an HDMI cable with an adapter, simply plug the free end of the cable into the HDMI Out port on the DVR. Connect the plugs at one end of an L/R audio cable into the matching Audio In ports on the back of your TV. The red plug should be plugged into the red Audio In Right port and the white plug should be connected to the white Audio In Left port. Connect the plugs at the other end of the same L/R audio cable to the matching Audio Out ports on the back of your DVR. Connect the red plug to the Audio Out Right port and the white plug to the Audio Out Left port. Now that everything is connected, turn the TV and and DVR on. Switch the TV to the appropriate input source to watch content from your DVR. You'll need to press the “Source” or “Input” button on your TV or remote control to change the source. The cable is connected to the DVI port on your TV, so you need to scroll through the options until you reach “DVI.”

TL;DR in English: Turn everything off. Connect the DVI end of the cable to the TV. Connect the HDMI end of the cable to the DVR. Hook up the audio wires to the TV. Hook up the same audio wires to the DVR. Turn everything back on.

If your child does not seem to be developing socially, this could be indicative of an underlying mental health disorder. If you have concerns about your child's social development, talk a child psychiatrist or therapist. You can ask your child's regular doctor for a referral or find a therapist through your insurance provider. If your child is not developing socially, this can be a sign that something is different. A variety of conditions, like genetic disabilities or autism, can cause your child to develop at a slower or uneven pace. Seek help from a pediatrician or child psychiatrist if your child seems to have difficulties in the following areas:  Between 19 and 24 months, your child may not interact with others. Your child may not smile when looking at you or give reaction. A child may also not engage in play or recognize pictures of familiar objects. These symptoms can indicate that your child may be autistic. With autism, as a child gets older, social development may continue to move slowly or at an uneven pace. A child may not engage in brief conversations, follow simple directions, listen to stories, make friends, initiate conversations, or express physical states. This means, your child may not say things like "I'm hungry" or "I'm hurt." You should make a point of talking to your child's teachers regularly. Make sure you ask the teacher about your child's social development. You also want to make sure your child is not getting bullied or harassed in school. Bullying can set a child back slightly in social development. Having a healthy relationship with your child's teacher can help you keep your eye out for issues like bullying.

TL;DR in English: See a therapist, if necessary. Recognize social delays in children. Talk to your child's teachers.

All cities have a set of requirements to drive a taxi, and you should check them to be sure you qualify. Typical requirements for drivers include:  A driver's license Minimum Age – In most cities taxi drivers must be at least 21, though in some they can be as young as 18. Good Health – Drivers often have to pass a health exam to assure they have no conditions that would endanger passengers. No Convictions – Drivers must typically have no felony convictions and not be serving parole. No Tickets – Drivers must typically have no unpaid tickets in order to get certified. There is typically no formal educational requirement to be a taxi driver – i.e. you don't need a high school diploma – but many cities require some brief training. The specifics will vary from city to city. This training usually lasts from a day to several weeks, and covers local traffic laws, driver safety, street layout, communication equipment, and taxi meter operation. Taxi companies will usually train new hires for free, or you can seek training at a local community college or specialized taxi school. Some municipalities that require training by law include:  New York – Taxi drivers must take a 6 hour defensive driving course and complete either a 24 or 80 hour taxi school course. The longer course might well be worth it, as only 53% of test takers pass the license test.  Chicago – You must attend a 3 week course at the Public Chauffeur Training Institute.  San Francisco – You must attend an accredited taxi school and obtain a Taxi Training Certificate and Sensitivity Training Certificate. Paris – You must have obtained a level 1 first aid certificate, or Diplôme PSC1 (prévention et secours civiques de niveau 1). Most municipalities, even if they do not have required training, do have a required test. Applicants are often charged a fee to take these tests. They vary in difficulty from “The Knowledge,” the London cab driver test that typically requires 2-4 years of study, to less daunting exams like the Washington, DC taxi driver test. If...

Contact dermatitis is one of the most common forms of dermatitis. This  type of skin inflammation is caused by exposure to an allergen or irritant such as poison ivy or poison sumac. Signs of contact dermatitis include a localized rash, red patches and bumps, and localized itching. More severe symptoms include blisters and swelling. Usually, symptoms begin very soon after you’re exposed to the allergen or irritating substance.   Allergic contact dermatitis is a rash triggered even by brief contact with the allergen, and may take up to 2 weeks after exposure to develop. Examples include poison ivy and poison sumac, fragrances, plants, and materials that you may be allergic to.   Irritant contact dermatitis is dry, damaged skin caused by repeated rough exposure or exposure to harsh chemicals. It’s commonly caused by washing your hands too frequently, but harsh soaps, detergents, or industrial chemicals can also be at fault. As soon as you notice a rash forming, rinse off your skin with lots of warm water to remove any irritants that may still be on the surface. Use a few drops of a gentle, unscented soap to avoid further irritation. Don’t scrub or rub too harshly or you could further aggravate your skin or potentially break the skin, which could lead to an infection. Identify the cause of your contact dermatitis so you can actively avoid being exposed to it. Cosmetics, perfumes, hair products, and metal jewelry are common causes of dermatitis, as are detergent, soap, or other household cleaning chemicals. Remove the cause of your exposure so you don’t have another outbreak. If you don't know the exact cause of your dermatitis, avoid all harsh and scented products and metallic jewelry as much as possible or switch to gentler and fragrance-free alternatives. If the cause of your dermatitis is a substance you work with or you can’t avoid being around it, a barrier can physically prevent the irritant from contacting your skin. Depending on the specific cause of your dermatitis, you can use different barriers such...

TL;DR in English: Look for a localized, itchy and red rash to identify contact dermatitis. Wash the affected area to remove any irritants. Avoid being exposed to the cause of your contact dermatitis. Use a barrier to protect yourself if you can’t avoid the irritants. Take an oral antihistamine to reduce itching. Apply moisturizer regularly to help your skin heal. Take cool baths to soothe your skin. Apply a topical corticosteroid cream for severe cases. See a dermatologist if symptoms persist for longer than 2 weeks.

Plan at least 3 months out so that you have ample time for publicity and to create a large e-mail invite guest list. Give your guests a six week "Save the Date" e-mail.  Make sure formal invites (via mail or email) are dated no less that 2  weeks out. This gives your guests ample notice and gives you time to prepare the party of the year. Here are things to consider:  Pick a date when nothing else is happening. If there's a big community event going on or your friends always have "wines day Wednesdays" for example, avoid partying on that day. You want people to come to your party, right?! Make sure to check sports, community, church and other organization calendars before finalizing your date. You would not want to plan a 6pm event downtown if a major sports event is scheduled with in an hour of your event. Think about things like traffic, commute time, event parking and other factors that could lower your attendance. Does the time or date conflict? Will parking be plentiful and free? Will the commute for the majority of the guests be short? You don't have to have your party at night. How about a brunch party? Everyone's looking for an excuse to eat pancakes and drink mimosas over the weekend, aren't they? It's easiest if the party is at your home, though it can be somewhere public like a community center, restaurants or a bar, but you could also look into venues for rent (community centers, parks, historical areas, recreational or sports centers.) Usually only 20% to 25% of the invited guests attend. A good rule of thumb is "the more the merrier." However, you don't want your guests packed in like sardines, so consider the place you're working with and how many mouths you need to feed! If you want 200 people in attendance make sure you have ample time to create a minimum of an 800 e-mail guest list. Remember, people always come late or sometimes never show. Also, if guests are bringing friends it could get out of hand rather easily. On the  invitation, indicate whether or not it's okay to bring uninvited...

TL;DR in English: Set the time, date and place. Plan the guest list. Pick a theme. Spread the word. If necessary, budget.

Before you begin putting your brochure together, you'll need to know a little bit about the subject you've chosen or been assigned. Review your textbook, notes, and homework assignments to learn as much as you can. The more familiar you are with the material, the better your brochure will turn out.  Other resources, such as the encyclopedia and various educational websites, can help you dive deeper into your topic. Only use sources that have been approved by your teacher, and be sure to cite your external sources on the last page of your brochure. Think about the best way to present your topic. You might offer a general overview of a complex subject, or zoom in on one or two specific points. The best brochures display information in a simple, focused way.  If you're making a brochure on the Declaration of Independence, for example, you'd want to briefly summarize what the document says and name all of the people who signed it. Put your title front and center on the outermost panel, the one that will be visible while the brochure is folded. That way, it will be the first thing your reader sees. Beneath your title, display your full name to make it clear who created the brochure.  Try to come up with a title that's short, punchy, and easy to remember. The title of your brochure should let your reader know what to expect right away. For a brochure about climate change, you could go with a straightforward title like “Climate Change,” or think of something more attention-grabbing, such as “Climate Change: The Silent Killer.” In 3-5 sentences, give your reader a general introduction to the subject you'll be exploring in your brochure. Your introduction will set the stage for the rest of the brochure and help the reader better understand the information they're about to be given. An introduction to a geography brochure on the Maldives might say something like this: “The Maldives is a country in Asia located south of India and Sri Lanka. It is made up of a chain of 26 small islands. The Maldives have a sunny,...

TL;DR in English: Research your topic thoroughly and decide what information to include. Make the first panel of your brochure the title page. Provide a brief outline of your topic on the first interior panel. Use each remaining interior panel to discuss a separate subtopic. Give a short summary of your topic on the back page of your brochure.

Backpacking backpacks, or rucksacks, need to be sturdy enough to carry a significant amount of weight, but light enough so that you won't be in serious pain at the end of a long hike. Look for a bag with an internal frame, chest straps, and a waist-band to help secure the bag on your body properly.  Backpacking bags are sold at most sporting goods stores, and are matched to your body size and height. It's a good idea to go be fitted for one, to make sure it fits you properly. Your backpack should have enough space for some food and water, a first aid kit, rain gear, sun gear, flashlight or headlamp and batteries, a tent and sleeping bag, even though you might not need all that for a group hike. Hiking isn't hiking without the proper footwear. If you're going to be walking many miles, you want to make sure you're in shoes that will stand up to the stress. The best bet? Get a pair of waterproof boots with enough support and strength to get you through the trip. Never go out for a multi-day trip with nothing but sandals, or a flimsy pair of sneakers. Sometimes, tennis shoes can be great, lightweight, and perfect for hiking in some environments, but you want to make sure you've got something sturdy enough for the terrain you'll encounter. Dressing in layers allows you to be comfortable in many different weather conditions. Even though it might be warm when you hit the trailhead doesn't mean that the weather will remain the same throughout the day.  Mountains are notorious for volatile and quick-changing weather systems. Even if it is 90 degrees when you head out, pack a light bag with rain gear, or at least a coat. You also need a hat, gloves, sock liners and socks, underwear, lightweight pants and shorts and good sturdy hiking boots.  Try to bring synthetic, wool, or down fabrics, which will keep you warm and dry quickly, instead of cotton. Bring plenty of socks. You'll be walking a lot, and it's important to keep your feet clean and dry on the trip. Hiking in the backcountry usually isn't the time for s'mores...

TL;DR in English: Get a sturdy backpack that fits your frame. Wear sensible hiking boots. Bring layers. Pack plenty of light-weight, high-calorie food for everyone. Pack as a group, not as individuals. Check your equipment inventory. Pack a whistle and a mirror. Bring maps of the area. Balance your pack properly.

Inkscape is a free, open-source vector editing program that is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can download it from inkscape.org. Inkscape includes a bitmap tracing tool that will attempt to automatically convert your raster image into a vector. Click "File" → "Open" and browse for the bitmap image that you want to convert into a vector. Simple images and logos are best suited for this process. You'll have a difficult time getting adequate results when attempting to auto-trace a photograph. After loading the bitmap, you'll need to click it to select it on the canvas. Once you have the bitmap selected, you can open the auto-tracing tool. Click "Path" → "Trace Bitmap", or press ⇧ Shift+Alt+B. There are three different modes available for creating a single path. The "path" is the line tracing of your image. Selecting each one will update the Live Preview, allowing you to get a feel for what they do.  These three options will help you to create a basic outline which you can then manually edit yourself. Use the "Threshold" options to adjust how the scan is processed. For the "Brightness cutoff", a threshold of 0.0 will be black, while a threshold of 1.0 will be white. For the "Edge detection", the threshold is the same and determines whether the pixel will be counted as part of the border or not. Increase the number of scans to increase the number of colors that appear. This can be an inaccurate tool, and may not be able to provide good results for complex images. Once you're happy with the results, click OK to apply them to the image. Click "Path" → "Simplify" or press Ctrl+L to reduce the number of nodes. This will result in a lower-quality image, but the end result will be much easier to edit. This is located in the toolbox on the left side of the screen. You can also press F2. This will allow you to select and move nodes to edit the image. For detailed instructions on editing nodes in Inkscape, see this article. You can use the tools in the left toolbar to create shapes and lines. Use these to...

TL;DR in English: Download and install Inkscape. Open the bitmap image in Inkscape. Select the image. Open the tracer. Select the path mode. Select the "Colors" option if you are trying to create an exact copy of a simple image. Optimize the paths once you're finished. Click the "Edit paths by nodes" button. Add your own lines.

Having a lot of activities and fun all day long will exhaust your toddler by the end of the day. If they are very tired, it will make it hard for them to resist sleep, even if the conditions aren't ideal or normal. However, an over-tired toddler can be a handful before and at bedtime. Trust your instincts and your knowledge of your kid when planning out your daily activities. While it may be fine for adults to sleep on thin pads while camping, your toddler will get more rest if they are on a softer surface. Stack extra blankets or a thick pad under your toddler to keep them comfortable. You can put an extra small crib pad under your toddler to make them more comfortable on the ground. Generally, kids thrive on a set schedule and repetition, so it's important to keep their sleep time on track as best you can while camping. It may be tempting to let them stay up late or to skip parts of the bedtime routine because you are on a special trip, but it's best to put your toddler down as you normally would in order to help them get to sleep.  Even if your toddler is refusing to go to sleep, keep them in their bed in the tent and continue your bedtime routine so that they get some rest and eventually cave in and go to sleep. Go through your typical nighttime routine. Whatever your normal bedtime routine is, stick to it. Brush teeth, put on pajamas, read books, and sing songs just as you would at home. The sounds of the forest can be overwhelming for a toddler that is used to silence when they sleep. Bring a portable sound machine to drown out the noises in the forest. There are a wide variety of portable white noise machines that run off of batteries or that can be recharged with a USB charger.

TL;DR in English: Tire your toddler out during the day. Make the toddler's sleeping area comfortable. Stick to your toddler's regular bedtime schedule and routine. Play a white noise machine, if necessary.

The retaining clip is made out of two pieces. The larger square or U shape fits onto the keyboard base and the key cap. The smaller piece, with a circular hole in the center, fits onto a small tab on the keyboard base. The two pieces fit together with two small tabs, one on either side of the smaller piece. If one of these pieces is missing or broken, order a replacement key or retaining clip for your exact keyboard model. If both pieces seem intact, continue to the next step.  Before ordering a replacement key, make sure it includes a retaining clip. These are also sold as "hinges." Alternatively, carefully detach a clip from a key you don't use as often, and reattach it to the broken key. On some models, the tabs are separate pieces. If they fall out, you can slot them back in with a pair of tweezers. Even on the same keyboard, different retaining clips may be arranged in different way. Lift an adjacent key cap the same size as the key you're replacing, by levering up the corners. Examine the exposed retaining clip as you repair the key. This will make it much easier to figure out how each piece slots in. On some models, you'll need to squeeze the larger piece's sides in order to fit it into the slots on the keyboard base. Do this before attaching the two pieces together. Once attached to the keyboard base, you should be able to lift the piece a short distance. Only one side of this piece attaches to the keyboard. Hold the smaller piece with the concave side facing down — or feel the piece until you find a groove, and keep that side face-down. Lower it onto the tabs on the keyboard base until they hook onto the retention clip's groove. Look for the two pins on the side of the smaller clip. Gently press these into the sides of the larger clip, until the two pieces are attached. Using too much force here will break your retaining clip. Hook the key cap back over the retaining clip. Press down until you hear two snaps and the key remains firmly attached.

TL;DR in English: Examine the pieces for breaks. Examine a nearby key. Fit the larger piece onto the keyboard. Slot the smaller piece into the keyboard. Fit the two pieces together. Fit the cap back on.

This database contains all houses for sale whether under a listing contract by an agent's brokerage or by any other participating broker. Your real estate agent can set up an advanced search in the MLS listing requirements that you would desire in potential houses to flip.  For example, tell your real estate agent (or use the MLS search function on the MLS.com website) that you’re looking for houses that are at least 3 bedrooms, 2 bath; minimum 1,300 square feet; and priced between $150,000-$275,000. You can get much more specific with the requirements if you want. For example, ground pools, extra storage, 3 car garage, built before 2005, etc. Just remember that the stricter your requirements are, the fewer houses you’ll get a chance to look at. The MLS website also has a "Find Foreclosures Near You" option that could provide a listing of lower priced properties. Your real estate agent can also send you a link to a collaboration center where all of the listings that meet your criteria are organized. In the collaboration center, you can separate the listings based on which ones you're interested in and which ones you don't like. If a new listing is added to the collaboration center, you'll be immediately notified over email. Joining a Real Estate Group puts you in the middle of the local real estate players. In addition, when you are speaking with people in the group or talking up your next project, someone usually has a project in the works and is looking for partners.  You might also hear about properties an investor is trying to off load because they don’t have time to flip it or just need their money out of it for personal reasons. You can make a lot of friends and valuable business associates from these types of groups. To find a Real Estate Group in your area, do an online search for "real estate investment clubs." Tax auctions and sheriff’s sales (properties being sold due to unpaid property taxes) are another way to acquire property for flips. You can successfully flip property using sales of...

The first requirement to changing an aspect of your personality is to believe that you can change. If you don't have this conviction, then your personality will remain the same. No matter what circumstances you're in, believing that you can change is the single most important contributor to success in changing your personality.  Most of us grew up believing that our characters or personalities were going to always be a certain way. Research now suggests that this isn't true. If you don't believe you can change, think about why this might be the case. Consider what ways the aspects of your personality you don't care for might be serving you. If there are fears that are keeping you from believing that you can change, address the fears. Review the "Big Five" personality factors that psychologists agree make up the traits of a person's personality. You can use these as guidelines to begin to figure out what you'd like to change. Once you've identified the general trait you'd like to change, start to think of smaller, concrete ways to do so. Be as specific as you can about the change you'd like to make, and specifically how you'd like to make it. The Big Five are as follows:   Openness to Experience: This includes your willingness to experiment, depth of emotions, intellectual curiosity, and tolerance for diversity.  Conscientiousness: Also known as your work ethic, the facets of this personality factor includes self-discipline, orderliness, your sense of competence, and your sense of responsibility.  Extraversion: If you are shy, you will want to consider improving on these traits, like assertiveness, warmth, gregariousness, and your activity level.  Agreeableness: Traits like sincerity, modesty, trust in others, sympathy, and altruism all fall under this factor.  Natural Reactions: Consider how emotionally reactive you are.

Not only are sports a great form of exercise, but they can be great fun as well.  This can be a great time to calm your mind, teach yourself a new skill, and even build some muscle strength.  One sport that is great to do on your own is basketball.  Find an available basketball and hoop, and take some shots.  Start real close to the hoop, and gradually move your body backwards, continuously attempting shots.  Each time you make or miss a shot, run towards the ball and retrieve it.  Not only will your skills as a basketball player improve, but your lung capacity will as well. Tennis, believe it or not, can also be done by yourself.  Find a tennis racket, a set of tennis balls, and a court to play at.  First you can try and serve.  Throw the ball up in the air, bend your needs, move your racket over your shoulder, and hit the ball towards your desired spot.  You can also dribble the ball on the racket, which can be a very fun game: see how many times you can bounce the ball without it falling. Running can also be a great form of stress relief, and can be fun in the process.  Find a nice pair of running shoes, and make sure to wear appropriate attire (t-shirt, gym shorts).  If you are a first time runner, pick a near by location to run to and back.  First jog, then gradually pick up your speed.  If you are a long time runner, try running to a desired location and back, beating a previous time, or simply take it easy as well. Yoga can be great for both physical and spiritual health.  Find a mat, and get into appropriate attire (workout clothes). Try some of the different and unique body positions.  A good first, simple yoga pose is done by simply crossing your legs, holding your hands slightly in the air, closing your eyes, and slowly breathing in and out. What accompanies yoga is also a program of meditation, related to Buddhism and Hinduism.  For more check out Do Yoga. This is a Latin based dance routine that can get you in shape, while also being creative and exciting.  Often there are Zumba classes offered...

TL;DR in English: Play a sport. Do yoga positions/moves. Try out some Zumba moves. Meditate with mindful breathing. Visit a beach. Go fishing. Walk to your local park, either by a fountain, or near a body of water. Take photographs. Paint a picture.

You may be surprised to discover how deeply ingrained this habit is—both physically and mentally. Breaking it will help your brain cope with attempting more involved tasks down the road.  If you open doors with your right hand by default, start opening them with your left. If you usually take the first step on a staircase with your right foot, do it with the left. Keep working at it until leading with your left feels natural and easy. Good activities to start with include:  Eating your food (especially using a spoon). Blowing your nose. Scrubbing dishes. Brushing your teeth. Dialing phone number and writing SMS on a cell phone. Now that your left hand is comfortable with sloppier movements like scrubbing and brushing, begin refining your hand-eye coordination.  Tracing is a great place to start: having a defined edge to work with will help force your eye, which is visually tracing the outline, and your left hand, which is physically tracing it, to work in sync. Trace your right hand onto a piece of paper. Pushing the pencil against 3-D contours will help guide the left hand. Graduate to tracing 2-D images. You can think of this as taking down the gutter guards at the bowling alley. The hardest thing is to remember to use your non-dominant hand consistently during the day, so you need a good way to remind you not to use your dominant hand.  The thumb is used in almost every situation you use your dominant hand. Not being able to move it freely is an excellent way to make you aware of all the times you are using it—so try tying your right thumb to your right index finger with a piece of string. You could also try wearing a glove on your right hand or putting your right hand in your pocket or behind your back.

TL;DR in English: Resist the urge to lead with your right side. Do simple, everyday tasks with your left hand. Practice more precise movements. Tie up your right hand.

Have a movie night with all your favorite movies, read a stack of books and magazines back to back, or relax with your favorite TV-show marathon.  Make a movie/TV/music night. Pick a theme and make your own marathon around that theme, like werewolves, 80s heartthrobs, Broadway musicals, or whatever entertains you. After you’ve indulged in all your favorites, start researching new bands, movies, and TV shows to try. Check out music blogs and podcasts, see what Spotify or Pandora recommends, or seek out the under-explored corners of Netflix. If you’re not a gamer, give it a try. If you’re already a gamer, broaden your horizons.  Try playing a new video game or seeking a new video game store. Look for older or lesser-known titles in thrift stores or online. Set up a video game tournament if you have the supplies--many platforms allow for cooperative virtual gaming, so if your friends aren’t around, you can play with new and different people from around the world. Try new types of non-video games, like role playing games, L.A.R.P.ing (Live Action Role Playing), etc. Revert back to your childhood self and bring out your favorite old board games. But what if you need multiple players? You can play for all of the players! Compete against yourself and take joy in knowing that you’ll win no matter what. Get out your old photo albums, scrapbooks, and yearbooks and spend some time reminiscing about old times.  You may even be inspired to look up old friends or family members with whom you’ve lost touch. If you are, go on an information hunt and see if you can track them down. Use the memories that come back to you as inspiration--write them down into short stories, autobiographical snippets, blog posts, comics, etc. Time to yourself opens up all kinds of avenues for exploration, including digital exploration. And there’s a lot of digital world to explore.  Go for a virtual information walk. Start by opening a web page--any page--and then start exploring where it takes you. Look for terms or ideas mentioned or linked on...

TL;DR in English: Consume loads of your favorite media--especially the guilty pleasures. Get gaming. Reminisce. Explore the wonders of the internet.

Before praying, take a deep breath, get comfortable, and close your eyes. Focus on the here and now, centering yourself however feels right. You want to sink into your prayers, not just say them. Candles, scents, and low lighting can help calm yourself down and bring yourself closer to your prayer. Mantras are simply phrases meant to be repeated over and over again. You do not necessarily need to know their full meanings, as the words themselves, through repetition, lose their "meaning" and help you avoid distraction.   Om mani padme hum: Pronounced ohm man-ee pad-mae hoom, this translates to "Hail to the jewel in the lotus."  Oṃ Amideva Hrīḥ: Pronounced "OM Ami-dehva re." Or, in English, "To overcome all obstacles & hindrances"  Om A Ra Pa Ca Na Dhih: This chant is believed to help with wisdom, critical thinking, and writing. Emphasise the "Dhih" (pronounced Di) when chanting.  There are many, many other chants out there to practice, and listening to audio tracks is a great way to learn them quickly. This prayer is good, short prayer that can be repeated as a mantra. Remember to focus on yourself and your own spiritual growth, not simply asking for it from Buddha:I take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and SanghaUntil I attain Enlightenment.By merit accumulations from practicing generosity and the other perfectionsMay I attain Enlightenment, for the benefit of all sentient beings.    Sangha translates as "community, group, or assembly." It usually refers to the community of believers in Buddhist ideals.   Dharma is the overall universal truth common to all people. It is the common force, of sorts, that binds and holds the universe together. This prayer is a great way to stay thankful for the people around you, and to recognize their connection. May I be well, happy, and peaceful.May my teachers be well, happy, and peaceful.May my parents be well, happy, and peaceful.May my relatives be well, happy, and peaceful.May my friends be well, happy, and peaceful.May the indifferent persons be well, happy, and...

TL;DR in English: Center yourself with good posture, steady breathing and mindfulness. Learn some basic mantras. Try repeating or voicing a simple prayer for the Three Jewels. Pray for the happiness and wellbeing of your friends and family. Perform simple thankfulness prayers before meals. Learn the Metta Prayer. Remember that prayer is simply a way to connect to yourself spiritually.

Porcupine wire creates an uneven landing place, which makes any birds nesting there unlikely. Lay out a length of porcupine wire over any rafters where you don't want birds to nest to keep them away. Porcupine wires have heavy prongs that stick out in every direction, and they can be purchased online or at most hardware stores. If you have a garden or outdoor item that you want to keep free of bird nests, cover it with mesh bird netting. This will keep birds and other small animals from accessing the area as long as the netting stays in place. Hammer the netting into the ground with stakes to keep it securely over the area. Purchase a vent cover or length of wire mesh from your local hardware store and place it over any vent openings outside. This will prevent birds from making nests in your vents. Place a board at an angle greater than 45 degrees over any outdoor ledges where you don't want birds to nest. Birds will be unable to land on ledges with boards and will choose somewhere else to build their nest.

TL;DR in English: Use porcupine wire to deter birds from landing on rafters. Lay out bird netting over large areas where you don't want birds to nest. Use protective covers to keep birds from nesting in vents. Cover any ledges with wooden boards.

If you prefer white wines, choose a Chardonnay or white Burgundy to enjoy with your gouda. If you’re a red wine drinker, pair your gouda with a Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, or Zinfandel to highlight the cheese's flavors. The caramel flavor in the beer complements the sweet taste of the cheese. Amber ales, brown ales, and brown porters all go well with gouda. For aged goudas, a sweet stout is also a good choice. Make a cheese platter with sliced gouda and peaches. Gouda also pairs nicely with d’Anjou pears because of the pears’ sweet, citrus flavors. Make a grilled cheese using whole grain bread and slices of gouda cheese, or add slices of gouda to a cold sandwich. You can also serve whole grain bread on a cheese platter with slices of gouda. The heaviness of whole grain bread pairs nicely with gouda cheese. Hold a cheese grater over a large bowl and grate some gouda into it. Then, when your vegetable dish is finished, sprinkle the grated gouda over the top of it. Stir the grated gouda into warm vegetable dishes to help it melt.

. A negative mindset can lead to judgemental thinking. Try to see the positive aspects in every situation, rather than the negatives. When you catch yourself having negative thoughts, challenge them. Then, challenge yourself to pick out something positive.  You can still be realistic while being positive. You don’t have to ignore negative aspects, just don’t focus exclusively on them. It’s okay to have bad days. Forgive yourself on days when you are feeling down and negative. Having a positive attitude can improve your life in many ways! Sometimes people will do things that you find abhorrent, such as stealing someone’s lunch money or cutting in a line. Although their actions may be wrong, it’s important not to judge them solely on one action. They likely have positive qualities that you haven’t seen yet. Consider that their actions in that one moment may be driven by a circumstance you don’t understand. For example, they may have stolen the lunch money because they haven’t had a meal in 2 days. Nip judgments in the bud by identifying how and when you’re thinking about other people. When you catch yourself having critical thoughts about someone, ask yourself how you or they benefit from those thoughts. Then, offer a compliment instead. For example, you might catch yourself thinking, “That girl needs to lose some weight.” Challenge that thought, asking yourself why it’s your business. Then say something nice that you noticed, such as, “You have a beautiful smile!” Every person is a unique individual with different talents, skills, personalities, and life experiences. Additionally, people are shaped by their upbringing, including where they grew up, how they were treated, and their living conditions. As you get to know people, try to imagine yourself in a similar position. Even if you may not have made the same choices, accept that they have a right to make their own decisions. For example, a person you consider to be too needy may have grown up without a supportive parent. Similarly, a person that you believe...

TL;DR in English: Embrace positive thinking Separate people’s individual actions from their personality. Notice when you're judging. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Find common ground. Be grateful Show compassion.

Immediately after washing your face in the evening, work a light coating of coconut oil directly into your forehead wrinkles. Continue to massage it into the wrinkles until your skin no longer feels greasy. Dry skin lacks elasticity, and that lack of elasticity can make your wrinkles stand out more. By applying petroleum jelly while your skin is still moist, you can lock in more moisture and keep your skin naturally plumper. Topical retinol and retinoids are among the most prevalent anti-aging creams on the market, but moisturizers that contain peptides also work well.  Topical creams like these are specifically formulated to stimulate collagen production in your skin. As a result, your skin plumps up and naturally fills in any wrinkles. Apply the cream directly to your forehead wrinkles. Most treatments like this have narrow applicator tips, making focused application easier to manage. Other topical treatments worth considering include those containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), vitamin C, idebenone, growth factors, and pentapeptides. "Frownies" and other anti-aging facial patches are stiff adhesive patches that physically hold your skin in place as you sleep.  Smooth out your skin and apply the patch directly over your forehead wrinkles immediately before bedtime. Make sure that the entire wrinkle is covered, and keep the patch on for at least three hours or overnight. The muscles in your forehead will be unable to move once you apply the patch. As a result, they won't twist or contort in your sleep, and your wrinkles won't have a chance to deepen further. Use a gentle chemical exfoliant, such as a product with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or hyaluronic acid no more than 2-3 times a week. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and lets your skincare products absorb better into your skin, helping to minimize wrinkles. Over-exfoliating, though, can have damaging effects.  Avoid mechanical exfoliation products such as scrubs. These can be harsh on the delicate areas of your face and cause microabrasions....

TL;DR in English: Apply coconut oil to the wrinkled area. Use topical line-erasing creams. Wear an anti-aging facial patch. Exfoliate your skin twice a week. Train your forehead muscles. Massage olive oil into your wrinkles. Try a citrus face pack. Work aloe vera into the wrinkles.

This will typically be the letter on the disk drive (e.g., "C:"). This will change the Command Prompt's search location to your selected directory. The "attrib" command forces all hidden, read-only, archived, and system files to display in Command Prompt, and the "-r -a -s -h *.*" section of the command removes these attributes from non-legitimate files. Any legitimate system files won't have their attributes removed, and you'll see "Access Denied" listed to the left of them. Doing so will display all previously hidden system files' names. If you know the virus' name, you'll simply need to scroll up to it. Otherwise, look for files ending in ".inf" and ".exe" that don't look familiar.  Before proceeding, be sure to double-check any file names you suspect of being viruses by looking them up. Common virus names include "autorun.inf" and "New Folder.exe". Doing so will remove the virus from your computer. For example: to delete the "autorun.inf" virus, you'd type in del autorun.inf. The virus should no longer affect your system. You may even notice a slight increase in computer running speed or app response time.

TL;DR in English: Type in your directory's name. Press ↵ Enter. Type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* into Command Prompt. Press ↵ Enter. Scroll up to find your virus. Type del [file name] and press ↵ Enter. Close Command Prompt.

You should never place an ice pack directly on your skin. This can cause skin irritation due to the extreme cold. Always wrap your ice pack in something like a cloth or paper towel before applying it to your skin. Time how long you apply the ice pack. You should not leave an ice pack on for extremely long periods of time. In general, the ice pack should stay on for intervals for about 20 to 30 minutes. You should only apply an ice pack up to four times per day. Minor soreness and strain can be treated at home with ice and over-the-counter painkillers. However, under certain conditions, you should see a healthcare provider. See a doctor if you notice any of the following:  Skin changes around the wound like blisters, a blueish color, or whitening of your skin. Burning or numbness when icing your skin.

TL;DR in English: Wrap an ice pack in a cloth before use. Ice your injury in short intervals. See a doctor under certain circumstances.

The struts are cylinder-shaped pistons filled with hydraulic fluid, usually shaped a bit like a metallic road cone with a spring wrapped around it. Open the hood and locate the strut bolts, usually a circle of three bolts on a pan in the engine compartment, to each side of the car, near the windshield. In the center of the ring of bolts will be the bolt for the strut pan itself. Don't loosen any of these bolts yet, especially not the center bolt, but use this to guide you to your working spot. First, loosen the bolts securing the wheel with a lug wrench and lift the car with a jack, positioning the jack according to the Owner's Manual instructions for changing a tire. Once the car is raised, position a jack stand under the car for stability. Remove the bolts that secure the wheel and remove the wheel. It's always important to use jack stands to secure the car. Do not attempt to do this job only supporting the car on the jack. Jacks can shift suddenly, dropping the car and possibly trapping you under it. Car jacks use hydraulic power that can fail suddenly and need to be backed up by jack stands to do the job safely. Invest in a couple of jack stands. You might need to remove the brake line support bracket from the strut assembly. This isn't a feature on all cars, so disregard this step if you don't see a small bracket holding the brake line to the strut. If you do, unscrew the bracket with the appropriate size socket wrench and move the brake line up and out of the way so you can remove the strut. Also called the stabilizer or the anti-roll bar, the sway bar works along with the strut assembly to stabilize the car during bumps and irregular road conditions. To do this, you need to remove the mounting bracket with a socket wrench and rotate the sway bar out of the way. Look for a small metal bracket attaching a metal bar (usually black) to the strut and remove it. Again, this won't always be an obstacle on all cars; you might just need to loosen the strut from the steering knuckle and free it. Once you've...

TL;DR in English: Locate the strut assembly. Remove the wheel. Remove the brake line support if necessary. Drop the sway bar if necessary.

Windows 7 will attempt to automatically activate when you load the desktop for the first time and you're connected to the internet. If you used an unused Windows 7 key during installation, activation should happen automatically without issue. If you are using your downgrade rights, your automatic activation likely failed. If the Activation window doesn't appear, click the Start menu, type "Activate," and then click "Activate Windows." When you're using your downgrade rights, you'll need to call the Microsoft activation hotline and provide your Windows 8 Pro key to prove that you are allowed to downgrade for free. if Microsoft is able to verify that you are entitles to downgrade privileges, you'll be given a special code to enter into the Activation window that will activate your copy of Windows 7. If you're downgrading multiple computers, you can use the same key during the installation of each, but you'll have to call Microsoft to activate each one individually. Once you're activated, you can focus on installing your drivers. If you made a driver disk earlier, plug it in and start installing the drivers on it. If you didn't make a disk, run Windows Update and allow it to check for and download any available updates.

Look for yellow and black. Identify wasps with other coloration. Estimate the wasp’s size. Observe the body shape.

Leave it running until it's very hot and you see and feel steam. This method will steam more than your face - you'll get a full-body steam treatment. Just like you would for a full-fledged facial steam, it's a good idea to cleanse your face of dirt and makeup before you begin steaming it. There's no need to use a towel to direct the steam to your face, since you'll be standing a column of steam trapped in by the sides of your shower. Let your face steam for about five minutes, then turn the heat down to a milder temperature to finish your shower. To enhance the results, you can use a drugstore face mask or a scoop of raw honey to cleanse your pores while you're finishing up your shower. Put it on after you finish steaming your face, then rinse it off at the end of your shower. When you finish your shower, pat your skin dry and apply toner, then moisturizer to your face. You might want to apply moisturizer to the rest of your body, too, since the hot steam can cause your skin to dry out.

TL;DR in English: Turn on the hot  water in your shower. Rinse your face while it heats. Stand with your face in or close to the steam for about 5 minutes. Put on a mask while you finish your shower. Apply toner and moisturizer.

Prepare your hoodie for washing by closing the zipper to protect your fabric from snagging. This also prevents damage to the zipper teeth. When washing by hand, you need something to hold enough water to wash your clothing. Great options include your sink, a bucket, or a large cooking pot. As you pour water into the wash container, pour in your soap. Gently stir the soapy water to mix it well.  Don’t add too much soap. While you want a clean hoodie, too much soap will be hard to rinse out. Plus, excess soap attracts dirt and bacteria, keeping it in the fabric.  Remember that laundry detergent is formulated for a full load, so don’t measure out a whole cup of laundry detergent. A teaspoon is recommended for small items. If you have a thicker hoodie, add a little extra. Place your hoodie into the water after you have mixed in the soap. Press it down with your hand until the entire hoodie is under the water. Let your hoodie sit in the container of soapy water for a few minutes so that it will absorb the detergent. Gently move your hoodie around the wash container. Be careful not to scrub the fabric because you may damage it. Lift your hoodie from the wash container and gently squeeze out some of the excess water. Avoid twisting your hoodie because that can damage it. Using a colander will help you rinse the soap from your hoodie without risking damage to the fabric.  A colander is a bowl that has holes so that you can drain water. If you don’t have a colander, check if your pots came with a basket to steam veggies. If you lack kitchen supplies, you could try a large funnel. While your hoodie is still in the colander, run cold water over it to rinse out the detergent.  If you can’t find anything to rinse your hoodie in, just fill the wash container with clean water and rinse it that way. Check to make sure that you’ve washed out all of the detergent by smelling the fabric. If you catch a strong whiff of soap, rinse your hoodie again. Gently squeeze your hoodie to remove the excess water. Don’t twist it because...

TL;DR in English: Zip up your zipper. Find a large container. Add mild detergent to your water. Submerge your hoodie. Soak your hoodie. Use your hands to agitate it. Remove your hoodie from the soapy water. Put your hoodie into a colander. Rinse your hoodie. Squeeze out the water. Lay your hoodie out to dry.

An autistic child does not always understand how to express their discomfort, anxiety or frustration. As a result, they may express their restlessness by becoming agitated or by displaying challenging and sometimes violent behaviors. Through the use of visual systems, a child can be taught to convey discomfort or their need for a break.  Create symbols that can help the child convey that they are done with a task. This could be a symbol like a ‘thumbs up’ or a ‘tick mark’. Create symbols that help the child express what they did that day. Some autistic children can find it difficult to talk about past events, so pictorial or visual representation could be helpful. Some templates can be used for this purpose. The templates can carry pictures of some tasks and activities such as reading a book, playing outside, eating, soccer, swimming. Pictures can also be used to teach the child how to ask for help. Some cards which specifically imply a child needs help can be held by a child and raised for the teacher to see when they need help. With time, they can be taught to do away with this practice and to raise their hand instead. Pictures and colors can also be used to create pictorial or visual calendars to help the child understand on what days they have school, on what days they do not, and to mark any upcoming events or any specific activities.  The calendar should be developed in such a manner that uses mostly symbolic representation. On the days when the child has school, a small image/photo/picture of the school could be put on the calendar; on days when the child has no school, a picture of a house can be used; if the child has an activity like soccer to attend, then a picture of a small soccer ball could be drawn. Color-coding could also be used. On the days when there is school, those days on the calendar could be colored blue; when there is no school, it could be colored yellow. Then other colors can be used to represent other activities. Pictures and colors can do an amazing job of controlling challenging...

TL;DR in English: Help the child to communicate with you using visual representation of their thoughts. Teach the child to ask for help using visual cues. Create a schedule for the child with visual cues. Reinforce and teach good behaviors with visual cues. Use visual cues to help a child interact with family members in a home environment. Create visual cues to help the child organize their things.

After a while, not smoking will cease to feel abnormal. You will begin to return to your usual routine and establish new rituals and habits around your life as a non-smoker.  You might still have a fleeting thought about having "just one cigarette," especially as normalcy resumes. Remember, it's never just one cigarette. It's a lifelong chain of misery which you have escaped from.   Congratulate yourself on those moments, such as social situations, where you feel happy to be free. Take pride in yourself and the fact you've given up smoking. If you're having trouble quitting on your own, you might need to seek additional professional help alongside your Allen Carr book. The obvious option, if you are wanting to quit using Allen Carr's method, is to contact his organisation via their website. They offer free of charge support to book readers.   Support groups are usually available in psychiatric clinics, where a trained physician or therapist leads discussions with other people attempting to quit. Narcotics Anonymous is a non-profit organization that hosts meetings for recovering addicts to provide support. You can find meetings in your area through NA's website.  If you're struggling to quit smoking, talk to your physician. You could also seek out the help of a professional therapist to see if any underlying emotional issues fuel your addiction. Remember, you cannot quit smoking alone. As you continue in your recovery, talk openly with friends and family members about your decision to quit and ask that they support you.  Ask the smokers in the family not to smoke in front of you or offer you cigarettes. Ask a few friends or family members if you can call them when you're getting a craving. Pick people who are empathetic and easy to talk to. If someone does not support your decision, it's best to temporarily sever ties from that person. Negativity fuels addiction.

TL;DR in English: Prepare for life to return to normal. Seek professional help if you're having issues. Ask for continued support from friends and family members.

Identify Yellowjackets and European paper wasps by the yellow and black bands on the wasps’ abdomens. Cicada killers are a type of digger wasp that resembles a larger, wider yellowjacket. Identify the European hornet by its yellow and black striped tail and red-brown thorax. You’ll also see black and yellow mud daubers. Note that mud daubers can also be black or metallic blue-black, as can spider wasps (including tarantula hawks). Paper wasps native to North America are golden brown with patches of red and yellow. Distinguish these from the baldfaced hornet, which is white and black striped with a white face. Also look for digger wasps, which have orange-brown, yellow and black bodies and metallic blue wings. Velvet ants, despite their name, are black, hairy, wingless wasps with bright red, yellow, orange, or white-colored areas. Look for 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) long yellowjackets. Contrast these with larger wasps, including the 0.75 to 1.2 inch (1.9 to 3 cm) long baldfaced hornets, 0.75 to 1.4 inch (1.9 to 3.5 cm) long European hornet, and the significantly larger 1 to 2.5 inch long (2.54 to 6.35 cm) tarantula hawks and 1.5 inch (3.81 cm) long cicada killer. Paper wasps and mud daubers tend to be 0.5 to 0.75 inches (1.27 to 1.9 cm) long. With some rare exceptions -- like the European hornet -- wasps can be identified by their smooth, hairless bodies and narrow waists. Learn to recognize the yellowjacket by its short, narrow waist and cone-like abdomen that tapers to a sharp point. Look for the characteristically long legs and spindle-shaped waist of the paper wasp. Also note the mud dauber has a very narrow waist and long, thin body.

Most insurance plans cover a cleaning every 6 months. If you don't have insurance you will have to pay for the appointment out of pocket. However, this type of preventative care can save you a lot of money in the long run. If you think that your gums are receding, you should make an appointment to be seen by your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist can assess the state of your gums, clean your teeth, and make recommendations about the treatment that you need. This process, also called tooth scaling and root planing, removes plaque and tartar from under the gums. Making a smooth surface under the gums will allow them to return to their proper place. By smoothing out the surface area of the tooth, bacteria will have a hard time attaching to the surface in the future. If you have an infection below the gum line, and this is causing them to recede, your dentist may prescribe antibiotics in combination with other types of treatment. Antibiotics should knock out the infection and allow your gums to begin healing. You may be prescribed either an oral antibiotic or a topical antibiotic that you apply directly to the infected area. If your gums have receded so much that there is bone loss and deep pockets next to the teeth, then you will need surgery to repair the gums. The dentist will take skin grafts from inside your mouth and then use them to repair the areas of gum loss.  Gum tissue surgery can be done by a dentist or periodontist. However, you may want to be referred to a periodontist for this...

TL;DR in English: Look for signs that your gums are unhealthy. Get regular dental cleanings. Have specialized cleaning done if your gums are receding. Take antibiotics for gum infection. Schedule gum tissue surgery. Discuss the option of bone regeneration surgery.

Don’t just offer a blanket “I’m sorry.” Think carefully about what you are really apologizing for, and be specific when you say you’re sorry.  If you know you hurt your friend’s feelings, apologize for what you said. Say something like, “I’m really sorry I called you stupid. I respect you way more than that and my words were careless and rude.” You might say, “I’m sorry that I waited so long to call you after the fight,” if you honestly don’t think the argument was your fault. After you apologize, let your friend talk. Listen carefully to what your friend has to say, and try not to be defensive when they tell you what they think about the fight. You might have done something to hurt or upset them that you don’t even realize. You can talk about what happened, but don’t use this as an excuse to rehash the fight itself. Focus on using “I” statements that focus on your perspective rather than “you” statements that are centered on blame.  You could say something like, “I was feeling stressed out already that day and I lost my temper, and I shouldn't have done that” or “I felt really frustrated when you weren’t listening to me, but I shouldn’t have snapped at you.” Don't make excuses for your behavior. It's okay to explain how you were feeling, but be sure to take responsibility for your words and actions. A lot of times, once you’ve apologized, your friend will say “I’m sorry too.” If they do, let them know you accept their apology and you’re ready to get things back to normal. If your friend doesn’t apologize, ask yourself whether it’s more important to hear them say they’re sorry or to have your friend back. Your friend may not be ready to forgive you or even to end the argument. Respect your friend’s emotions, but don’t let them pull you back into the fight.  If your friend is still mad, ask what you can do to make it better. If they give you an answer, try to do that. If they say nothing, your friend may need more time, or they may want to end the friendship.  Try to be patient with your friend as they take...

TL;DR in English: Offer a sincere and specific apology. Give your friend a chance to tell their side of the story. Share your thoughts about the argument. Accept your friend’s apology if they say they’re sorry. Give your friend more time if they're still angry. End on a positive note.

Begin eating foods that are only slightly spicier than what you are currently accustomed. For example, add more black pepper to your meal than you normally would, or garnish something with a few sprinklings of red pepper flakes. There are hot varieties of candies and other small snacks that can help inject a regular helping of heat into your day. Check your local Latin market for a good selection of spicy candies. Devouring an entire plate of peppers at once will not do you any favors when trying to acclimate to spicier foods. Doing so will more likely turn you off of spicy food altogether. Instead, add just a bit of spice to each meal over a long period of time. Savor the spice to get the full experience of the heat. Be patient. Don’t get discouraged if your palate doesn’t seem to be adjusting to the heat. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to months to get accustomed to the new level of spice. Not all types of heat in food are the same. The heat found in dishes with hot peppers are a much different experience than dishes that are heavy in garlic or wasabi. Education will help you branch out into hotter foods that are appropriate for your level of tolerance.  Some foods, such as garlic and radishes, have a natural spiciness to them that don’t stem from the heat-causing agents of chili peppers. These can be a great gateway into spicier foods, without necessarily packing the physical sensations that dishes featuring hotter substances possess. If you are just starting out, you might start with these foods, as they cannot physically damage your mouth with their oils.  When cooking with peppers, look into each pepper's heat index rating (referred to as the Scoville Scale). Measure which peppers you can handle as a baseline, and move up from there. Go for broke! As you adjust to the level of heat you can tolerate, increase the heat level of your meals. As you do so, you will open up a wide range of food options you might never have considered trying. You can achieve this in a variety of ways.  Increase the...

TL;DR in English: Start small. Eat slowly. Learn the types of heat available. Gradually increase the amount of spice in your food. Study up on different cuisine.

After removing chunks, and before washing the item, you should allow it to soak to remove most of the stain. Combine water with 1 cup of your regular detergent and, if possible, some Borax. Allow the item to soak for approximately two hours. If some of the stain is still there, combine a small bit of water with a lot of baking soda to create a thick paste, almost like tooth paste. Rub the paste in with a sponge. Let it sit for several minutes before washing it out. Repeat if there is still a stain. Wash the item as you normally would, preferably in a load by itself.  Use detergent. If the item is white, use bleach as well. Be sure that the stain is totally removed before washing the item or it could get baked in.

TL;DR in English: Soak the item. Spot clean with baking soda. Wash the item.

Because you don't have a weight machine to help you maintain the proper form, you have to pay careful attention to how you lift the weight. "  If you can't lift and lower the weight slowly and smoothly, choose a lighter weight. If you can't complete the last couple of repetitions, you could find yourself trapped under a barbell or straining your muscles in an attempt to maintain control. A spotter will help you lift the weight safely so you can finish your set. You can often ask another member to spot you in return for being his or her spotter. Make sure you have the same weight on each side and that they're secured with collars. Both dumbbells and plates are racked in order of weight.

TL;DR in English: Watch yourself in the mirror. Resist the urge to jerk the weight to "get it started. Work with a spotter if you're going to lift heavy weights. Add weight to barbells or dumbbells without clanging the plates together. Rack the weights when you're done. Dry your sweat from the bench when you're done.

Yogurt has many nutrients that are good for the skin. As a by-product of milk, it contains lactic acid which contains bleaching properties. Combined with honey, yogurt can be used daily to naturally bleach your skin. The honey not only helps bleach your skin, but also acts as a moisturiser. This combats dry skin, which is a common factor for uneven, dark skin tones. Use one tablespoon of yogurt and ½ tablespoon of honey. Mix them together thoroughly in a bowl and apply over your face and neck. Leave this mixture on your skin for 10 or 15 minutes. After this, simply rinse it off with warm water and you will have better skin in no time! Because yogurt and honey are natural and far less harsh than bleach, you can use them every day on your skin. If you do this every day, you'll see your skin become noticeably lighter and moisturised. Milk contains the same properties as yogurt for lightening your skin. If you don't like the feeling of yogurt on your skin, you can put honey on a facecloth and dip it in milk. Rub this over your skin and let it sit for 15 minutes.

TL;DR in English:

If your friends are constantly trying to make the group your only social outlet, you should think about leaving the group of friends.  They might also badmouth your other friends, family, or significant other in an effort to pressure you into spending less time with them.  Leave groups of friends like this as soon as possible. People often do what they see others do.  Whether for good or ill, friends are a major influence in your life.  If your friends engage in negative behaviors, you should leave the group of friends before you get yourself into trouble with them.  You should consider leaving your group of friends if they:  Steal goods from stores Abuse drugs and alcohol Vandalize public or private property Engage in other immoral or illegal acts If your friends often ignore you when arranging outings, you should think about leaving them.  This might be an indirect form of bullying (bullying by exclusion).  Friends who do this do not value your company, and are not friends at all. If you have a group of friends who only want to spend time with you when they need something, they are bad friends.  If you’re providing money, food, or a place to crash for your group of friends and your generosity is not being reciprocated, you are being taken advantage of and should leave the group. If your friends are always trying to one-up you, it’s time to leave that group of friends.  Avoid friends who try to minimize your accomplishments.  They are bad friends and not worth keeping.  For example, if you tell your friends that you got a 93% on your test, and they brag that your score is not that great because they got an even higher score, they are bad friends. Conversely, if you say that you’re having a bad day, and your friends insist that they are having even worse days, consider leaving the friend group. Spending time with friends should make us feel invigorated, refreshed, and energized.  If you find yourself making excuses to avoid your group of friends, they are probably not good for your mental health. Friends that...

TL;DR in English: Look out for controlling friends. Beware of friends that are a bad influence. Leave groups of friends that don’t invite you out. Avoid needy friends. Beware of friends who try to compete with you. Leave friend groups that drain your energy.

This time of year is when pomelos, which are largely imported from South East Asia, will be ripest. They are sometimes available before and after this window, but for the ripest fruit look during these two months. Look for a pomelo that feels heavy, which means it is full of delicious juice. A light pomelo is apt to be dry inside. Avoid pomelos that are bruised or have soft areas of rot. Consider pink, yellow and green colored pomelos when selecting a fruit. Ripe pomelos can vary greatly in color. The color isn’t a great indicator of ripeness. Ripe pomelos have a subtle sweet fragrance. Sniff a couple and find the sweetest smelling one that looks the most appetizing to you. Keep your whole pomelo cool in the fridge to keep it from spoiling. After one week, the pomelo may start to turn. Store any cut pomelo segments in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days before tossing.

TL;DR in English: Select pomelos from mid-January through February. Choose a pomelo that is heavy for its size. Choose a light green to pink pomelo. Sniff for a sweet scent. Store pomelos in the fridge for up to one week.

You will need several colors of polymer clay, a toothpick, a pan that can go in the oven (that will only be used for polymer clay, not food), a piece of string, and a needle that can be threaded onto the string. Polymer clay is available at all craft supply stores and easily available online as well. Remember that the baking sheet you use will should not be used for baking food after it's used for baking polymer clay. Try to keep your beads all the same size, so that they look the same. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, as over baking or under baking your bead can damage them. No matter what brand it is, it will smell up your kitchen a bit while baking. These fumes are not good for you. Be sure to open us some windows or turn on a vent to get proper ventilation. The beads need to be completely cool before you touch them. When they are still warm they will not be totally hard, so touching them could damage the surface.

TL;DR in English: Assemble all of your supplies. Lay your bead on your baking sheet. Repeat these steps with all of the colors of clay you have. Follow the baking directions given on the wrapper of the clay. Remove the beads from the oven and let them cool before assembling your necklace. Put on your brand new necklace!

This guide will assume that you already have an image inserted somewhere in your document. If you need help with that, read our article about how to insert an image into Microsoft Word. You will see an outline appear around the edges of the image, with boxes on the corners and midpoints of the outline. You will also see a circular arrow at the top of the image. This is what you will be using to rotate the image. Click on the circular arrow above the picture and drag in the direction that you would like to rotate the image. Move the mouse as if you were rotating a piece of paper on a table. The picture will rotate following your cursor. Rotate the picture by increments of 15 degrees by holding ⇧ Shift while rotating. Stop rotating the picture by simply releasing your click-hold on the circular arrow. Rotating the image to a precise orientation will be harder to accomplish with the mouse. If you need to orient your picture to an exact degree, read the method about rotating your picture by degrees.

TL;DR in English: Open your document. Click the image. Rotate the image. Stop rotating.

This will give you a good overview of the process so that you can anticipate what step comes next and what parts you will need next.  Remember that while this article gives a good overview of the process of installing a garage door, there may be important steps that are specific to your manufacturer.  Always assume that their instructions supersede those provided here. Your garage door should come with all the necessary parts included.  Be sure you have all the parts listed in the instructions and that you understand where each piece provided should go once installed.  Its always a good idea to organize your parts into piles, so you can see exactly what you have (and if anything is missing).  While there is some variation depending on the manufacturer, a garage door should come with panel sections, hinges that connect each section together, rollers that allow the sections to move up and down, track for the rollers to move in, brackets to connect the track to the frame of the garage, and a tension spring to help offset the weight of the door.  If any parts are missing do not begin installation.  Proceeding without all of the necessary parts could lead to trouble installing your garage door, damage to the door, or even injury due to a poorly installed door. This includes a hammer, nails, power drill with a screwdriver tip, and screws. You will also need a ladder to reach the parts of the door that are overhead. In fact, it's not a bad idea to have two ladders handy, so that you and your helper can both be on one at the same time. Have all your tools and manufacturer-provided garage door pieces at arm's length to make installation easier. If hinges aren't already attached to the top of the first panel, attach them. Slide a roller into the left and right hinges on the panel.  Also attach the manufacturer-supplied weather stripping to the first panel's bottom edge. This is also a good time to pre-drill holes for the hinges on the rest of the sections, as it will be easier to get the sections lined up exactly when...

A standard baking sheet should be suitable for roasting macadamia nuts. A baking sheet is a long flat sheet that has edges to keep anything, such as nuts, from rolling or dripping off the sheet. They generally measure about 17 x 12 inches (43 x 30 centimeters) with a one inch high rim. Be sure to use nuts of relatively similar size. This will protect the smaller nuts from burning while the larger ones continue to roast. If you’re unsure, turn the nuts over several times while roasting to prevent burning. It is not necessary to season the nuts, as the flavor of the nuts themselves are delicious without any additives. Do not have more than one layer of nuts, to prevent burning and uneven roasting. Salt and butter will enhance the flavor of the nuts and is a simple mixture you can make at home. Mix water, salt, and melted butter together and pour into a spray bottle. The proportion of each ingredient can be up to you. For example, if you enjoy the taste of butter, you can melt more butter and use less water. Spray your mixture over the macadamia nuts.  To melt butter, place a small sauce pan on the stovetop and turn the heat to medium low. Place the butter in the pan and wait a few minutes for the better to melt. You can also microwave butter to make it melt. You shouldn’t need to microwave it for more than thirty seconds, as butter melts quickly.

TL;DR in English: Use a baking sheet. Arrange the nuts on the pan. Create a buttery spray.

Self-adhesive bar pins are ideal for hanging paper flowers to fabrics without damaging them. Buy bar pins online or from the jewelry section of a nearby craft store. If you cannot find adhesive bar pins, you can use hot glue to secure non-adhesive bar pins in place. Turn the flower upside down and place it on a table or other flat surface. Take off the bar pin's backing and attach it to the center of the paper flower's back. Add hot glue to its backing for a stronger hold or if you purchased non-adhesive bar pins. If you used hot glue on the bar pin's backing, let it dry for up to an hour. The bar pin may fall off if you try to hang the paper flower before the hot glue has dried. Press down on one end of the bar pin and move the needle to the side to open it. Stick the needle through the fabric, then move the needle back to the side to secure its hold. If pinning multiple flowers to the fabric, space them out evenly for an organized look.

TL;DR in English: Purchase self-adhesive bar pins from a craft store. Press the bar pin's backing against the paper flower. Let the paper flower dry for 30-60 minutes before using it as a decoration. Open the bar pin and attach it to the fabric object.

Instead of the bacon, sauté spinach until it wilts, then place that on top of the English muffin. You'll need about 4 cups (960mL) raw spinach for this recipe. Steamed asparagus pairs perfectly with hollandaise sauce. Serve it on the side and drizzle the sauce over the entire plate. Sprinkle with finely chopped basil for more summer flavor. "Eggs Blackstone" uses crisp, fatty American bacon (streaky bacon) instead of Canadian bacon. Pair this with a slice of raw, juicy tomato between the muffin and the bacon. The lemon flavor works wonders with seafood. Complement the salmon even more with a finely chopped handful of dill, mixed into the finished hollandaise sauce.

TL;DR in English: Make vegetarian Eggs Florentine. Serve with asparagus. Use American bacon and tomatoes. Replace the meat with smoked salmon.

Once you are certain that you are ready to get pregnant, make an appointment with you ob-gyn to have your IUD removed. You will be able to conceive within the same month that the IUD is removed. The removal procedure will only take a few minutes, but you can prepare for pain or cramping by taking an ibuprofen beforehand. If you want to stop your Depo Provera injections to get pregnant, plan ahead as much as possible. Injections last between 8 to 13 weeks, but it can take up to a year for fertility to return to normal after the shot wears off. Typically, it can take between 9 to 10 months to get pregnant after your last Depo Provera shot. Contraceptive patches or rings releasing both estrogen and progestin are similar to the pill as combination hormonal methods of birth control. Be prepared for pregnancy before ceasing to use either of these, as immediate pregnancy is a possibility. There is no definitive evidence on how long it takes to conceive after you stop using these methods of contraception, but experts believe the wait time might be similar or shorter than what you would experience with the pill. Contraceptive implants are progestin-only hormonal methods of birth control. When you are ready to conceive, contact your doctor to have the tiny, plastic rod removed from under your skin. Once it is removed, it may be possible to get pregnant right away. If barrier methods of contraception are your choice of birth control, trying to get pregnant should be fairly straightforward. Once you stop any type of barrier method, you can feasibly conceive the next time you have sex. These methods include:  Condoms Diaphragm Cervical cap Spermicidal foam, sponge, cream, jelly, suppository, or film

TL;DR in English: Have your IUD removed. Stop the contraceptive shot. Remove the patch or ring. Have your implant taken out. Skip barrier methods.

Drape the tubing over your dish rack or drying rack so it can air dry. Make sure the tubing is not touching any other items and the ends are open to allow air to flow through the tubing. Another option is to lay the tubing flat on a clean dishtowel so it can dry overnight. The tubing will take longer to dry,  perhaps between 8-12 hours. To ensure the tubing is completely dry inside, attach it to the pump on one side and turn on the pump. Run the pump for several minutes to help dry any water or condensation in the tube. You can also leave the pump running for a few minutes after you are done using it to help remove condensation. This will make cleaning the tubing easier. Do not store the tubing while it is still wet, as this can allow bacteria and mold to form. Let it dry completely and then keep it with the other parts of the breast pump so the pump is easy to put together as needed.

TL;DR in English: Hang the tubing to let it air dry. Let the tubing dry flat on a dishtowel if you have more time. Attach the tubing to the pump and run it for 3-4 minutes to dry it quickly. Store the tubing with the other pump parts once it has dried completely.

Place 4 tablespoons in large skillet. Set the heat to medium-high. Liquify the butter until it bubbles. Place each on its side in the skillet once the butter begins to bubble. Flip them repeatedly to cook each side a uniform brown. Do so for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of sauteing, add 4 tablespoons of sugar. Stir it into the butter and juices. Remove the apples from the skillet once the sugar melts.
