Buy items that are small or flexible. Pick candy and cheap toys for the outer layers. Choose small gifts for the middle layers. Save the most expensive gift for the center of the ball. Keep the age of your guests in mind as you pick the final gift. Match the gifts to the theme of the party.

Eminem writes down his lyrics and the thoughts that he has. Instead of trying to think of lyrics off the top of your head, write down lyrics that can be used in different situations and for different songs. Keep a notepad or smartphone with you so that you can write down lyrics as you think of them. Eminem aims for perfection and edits his work in order to achieve it. Read over the rhymes you have and try to tighten them up. If there are lines that have too many or too little syllables, edit them so everything fits. Find precise adjectives for the lyrics that you're writing and continue to refine your work. One way to expand your vocabulary is by reading as much as you possibly can. Look up new words in the dictionary and grow your repertoire of rhyming words. Novels, newspapers, and blogs can help expand your vocabulary. This will help you think of lyrics as you write new songs. Many times Eminem’s lines don’t rhyme but they sound like they do. This is commonly referred to as “bending words” and can be used to rhyme two words that sound similar but don’t rhyme. Adjust the pronunciation of certain vowels so that the words sound the same.  For example, in “Lose Yourself” Eminem rhymes “arms are heavy” with “mom’s spaghetti.” “Arms” and “mom’s” don’t rhyme, but can sound similar if you enunciate the o and m at the end of “mom’s” to sound like the r and m in “arms.” In “Lose Yourself”, Eminem uses bending words to create the lines “oh there goes Rabbit/ he choked he’s so mad but he/no he won’t have it he.” In this rhyme, “oh” sounds like “choked” and “no,” “goes” sounds like “so” and “won’t,” and Rabbit sounds like “mad” and “have.” Words like “duck” and “truck” are single syllable rhymes. Eminem employs a more advanced rhyming scheme in the majority of his songs known as multisyllabic rhyming. This means that multiple parts of each word or multiple syllables within a word rhyme. When writing down your rhymes, break down larger words into parts and try to rhyme each corresponding part with another word. The song...

TL;DR in English: Write your lyrics down. Edit your rhymes. Read as much as you can. Give words a different pronunciation to rhyme them. Write multisyllabic rhymes.

Any type of bread will work for your sandwich, so pick the one that you like the most. If you want something healthier, look for whole grain or multigrain to get helpful nutrients and fibers. You can either used pre-sliced bread or buy an entire loaf to cut your own. Use 2 slices of the bread you choose and lay them flat on your plate so you can easily build your sandwich on top of them.  Look for different types of bread, like sourdough, pumpernickel, or rye, to see how they affect the overall flavor of your sandwich. If you want to make a large sub sandwich, cut a baguette horizontally down the middle to use as the top and bottom pieces. Try using buns or rolls instead of sliced bread if you want to make smaller sandwiches. Look for pitas or tortillas if you’d rather have a wrap. Shake a small amount of salt and pepper onto the sandwich to make it taste better. Try different spices or herbs you may have, like basil, oregano, or cayenne pepper, if you want to give your sandwich an additional kick. Only use a tiny pinch of each spice so the flavors aren’t too overwhelming. Once your sandwich is completely assembled, press down on the top piece of bread to compress the sandwich so it’s easier to cut. Use a serrated knife to cut through the sandwich so it doesn’t fall apart. You can either cut the sandwich diagonally or into rectangles depending on what you prefer. After you cut the sandwich, eat it and enjoy your meal!  You don’t need to cut the sandwich if you don’t want to. If you want to save some of your sandwich for later, wrap it in foil or a plastic bag and keep it in the fridge to preserve it.

TL;DR in English: Choose your favorite type of bread for the sandwich. Season the sandwich to enhance the flavor. Cut your sandwich so it’s easier for you to eat.

Pour a half a cup of water into a ceramic or microwave-safe bowl. Then take one lemon and cut it in half. Squeeze each half of the lemon into the water. Drop the halves into the bowl after squeezing. Put the bowl into the microwave. Microwave the bowl with the lemon and water on high for three minutes. This will produce a steam that will pervade the microwave and make it easier to clean. Keep the microwave door closed for five minutes after the cycle is complete to let the steam do its work. After the five minutes are over, open up the microwave. Carefully with an oven mitt or towel, remove the bowl and set it aside. Use a sponge or wet cloth and wipe down the inside of the microwave. If the microwave has a turning tray, you can take this out and clean it individually to make the process easier. Use a scrub brush to scrub away any drips or stains in the microwave. The stains are probably not from the popcorn, but the popcorn odor can stick to these stains. If the scrub brush isn’t working, try dipping a cloth into the lemon and water mixture and rubbing at the stains. After you have removed the stain, do a final wipe down of the microwave with a dry cloth. This will remove the moisture from the inside of the microwave. You should notice that the odor of the popcorn is gone and is replaced with a nice citrus smell. If not, there are a couple more measures you can take.

TL;DR in English: Put water and lemon into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the bowl for three minutes. Wipe the microwave. Scrub any stubborn food remnants. Dry the inside with a dry cloth.

In some cases, it's difficult to clean the vent yourself. You may not be able to reach the vent, for example. Also, you can only clean so deeply without professional help. If your dryer is not adequately drying your clothes after you've cleaned the vent yourself, hire professionals. You need HVAC specialists, which are cleaners who specialize in dryer vents. Look for cleaners online or in your local yellow pages. As most homeowners need to have their dryer vents cleaned professionally on occasion, ask other homeowners in your area for recommendations. Professional cleaning services can be somewhat pricey. In general, professional dryer vent cleaning can cost anywhere from $89 to $179. Figure out roughly how much you can afford to spend on dryer vent cleaning. Call up different companies and ask for an estimate. Find a company that's within your price range. Do not put off cleaning your dryer vent for too long due to price. Dryer vents should be cleaned at least once a year or they could pose a fire hazard. Once you've found a company, call them up and schedule a cleaning time. You will probably have to be home during the cleaning to show cleaners where your dryer, outlets, and fusebox are. Find a time that works for you to have the cleaners come in an treat your dryer vent. Diagnostic tests are used to assess how well your vent was cleaned. They may also determine whether gas from the vent is escaping into your home and check for gaps or holes in your dryer vent. Depending on things like your home's age, the cleaners may recommend diagnostic testing. Talk to the cleaners about potential tests to see if they're right for you. Diagnostic tests may cost extra, so keep this in mind when budgeting for professional cleaning.

TL;DR in English: Look for HVAC specialists in your area. Budget for cleaning. Schedule a cleaning time. Get any diagnostic tests recommended.

to keep track of your goals. Especially when you’re starting out, you need to keep track of how much money you plan to spend, and how much you’d like to make. It’s also important for you to spend some time thinking about who your customers are and how your products will thrill and dazzle them. Once you’ve got an established line or set of products, use every possible online platform to get them out there into the world. Social media is a wonderful way to let thousands and even millions of people around the world know that you’re ready to create the perfect bag just for them.   Make a website or write a blog documenting your entire process. People will love seeing how you’re getting started and watching your bags move from nonexistent to finished and beautiful! Start an online store through a website like Etsy. This already-established platform is easy to use and reliable. It can also give you some good exposure. Use Instagram to share great photos of finished products or the production process. Use Twitter and Facebook to send out fun messages to give your brand personality along with the products. Use LinkedIn to develop the professional side of your business. People may use LinkedIn to see if they can work with or even for you. Look for a weekly market in your town or city. Especially during the summer months, these fun, outdoor exhibits are staples in most localities around the United States. These are great spots to test your your early designs.  Starting small allows you to keep your initial costs low, since you can probably make the first several batches of bags on your own. This will let you avoid working with a manufacturer until you’re ready.  Ask people what they think about your bags when they visit your spot. Even if no one buys your stuff, craft shows are perfect for getting good, honest feedback. Don’t let a bad photo taken on your smartphone be the reason your career as a handbag designer fails! Even though a session with a professional photographer is expensive, it’s worth the investment. Your...

TL;DR in English: Write a business plan Create an online platform to gain customers. Sell your awesome bags at craft shows and farmers’ markets. Create a portfolio with professional photos. Look for PR and sales agents to represent your work. Show your work at fashion shows and exhibitions. Give your work to charity shows for increased exposure.

Small, flat items are easy to wrap. Larger items, like DVDs aren't because they are large and rigid. If you want to include a larger gift, then stick with something flexible, like a pair of socks. Remember, these items have to wrap and curve around each other in order to form a spherical shape. The outer layers of a saran wrap ball should be inexpensive. Candy is a great choice, but you can also choose goodie bag fillers, stocking stuffers, and other $1 toys. For example:  Edible treats, such as chocolate, mints, or gum. $1 toys, such as plastic bugs, toy cars, or crayons. $1 stocking stuffers, such as hand sanitizer, lip balm, or compact mirrors. As the ball grows smaller, the game will get more exciting and intense. Here is where you should put in larger, more expensive gifts. Themed jewelry and socks that are in the $2 to $5 range are great here. You could even step the gifts up to a $10 or $15 value here. For example:  Christmas jewelry, such as necklaces or earrings. Christmas accessories, such as scarves or socks. Money in $1 or $5 increments. This is the final prize, so it should be something that is worth waiting for! Gift cards are the most popular choice, but you can also pick out something that's more expensive too. For example:  A small, themed gift, such as an action figure. Money, but in a higher amount, such as a $20 or $50 bill. Movie or concert tickets. Candy is appropriate for all ages, but as you get towards the center of the ball, you should consider what your guests would like. You don't want to let them down with something that they wouldn't find interesting, after all. For example:  A 7-year-old might enjoy a $15 gift card to a toy store. A college or high school student might prefer a $25 gift card to iTunes. An adult might appreciate a $50 gift card to store that sells home décor or accessories. Saran wrap balls are a popular Christmas party game, but you can also play them during other events, such as baby showers or bridal showers. Party supply stores are a great place to pick up...

You are not alone, the abuse was not your fault, and no one ever deserves to experience abuse in any way. One step to healing from abuse is to recognize that you did nothing to deserve disrespectful treatment. As a human, you have rights to be treated decently by those in your life, by strangers, family members, and intimate partners alike. Recognize that each human has the right to be treated with respect, have their opinions heard, to change their mind, to be listened to and to be treated with respect at all times. . Emotionally abusive people often force you to put their needs, desires, and demands above your own. This desire for harmony and less conflict can slowly choke out your voice, leaving you feeling like you don’t know what you want or who you are. Learn to rediscover your inner voice. One way to do this is to begin making decisions on your own and learning not to second-guess yourself.  While decisions can be scary at first, start with small decisions and build your self-confidence. Try asking yourself something simple, such as, “What do I want for dessert tonight? Cherry ice cream or chocolate?” As you gain confidence making simple decisions, you may start to feel more confident about making more difficult decisions. Try to develop a system for making difficult decisions, such as identifying the problem and using a pros and cons list to weigh your options. . After enduring emotional abuse, you may have lost touch with your own preferences for things. Spend some time reclaiming yourself by engaging in liking and disliking things. Do things for yourself that bring you happiness and joy. Do things that you enjoy without worrying about pleasing anyone else. To start, you may go to a candle shop and find which scents you enjoy. You can also cook or buy foods that you enjoy on your own, even if other people don’t enjoy them. You may feel like your self-esteem has been shattered after enduring an emotionally abusive relationship. Take time to recognize your positive qualities. You can choose memories of...

This cake takes 20 minutes to prepare, 1 hour and 10 minutes to cook and serves roughly eight people. This recipe resembles a banana bread, but is a little sweeter, with a thinner batter suited for cakes. You can use any sort of baking dish that you'd like, of course, but loaf dishes are nice and deep, allowing you to get thick, moist center to your bread. You can just as easily pour the batter into pie tins, a bunt cake, or any other baking dish. Beat using an electric mixer until the ingredients are combined in a light, consistent color, about one minute. If you don't sift the flour, whip it up with a fork at least -- this breaks up big clumps of flour to ensure that everything gets melted and mixed together well. Melt the butter slowly, in 15-20 second bursts, so that it is liquid but not hot. Then mash up your bananas, blending well. The more ripe the banana is, the better it will be. Dark brown bananas are often your best bet. You can pre-mash the bananas easily on a plate with the back of a large. Flour actually toughens up as you mix it, leading to chewier, less tender cakes. Just mix the flour in until their are no more dry bits and everything is taken one consistent batter. The cake is done when you can pierce it with a knife or wooden skewer and the blade comes out clean, with only a few crumbs. If the skewer comes out with wet batter on it, let the cake cook for an additional 5 minutes or so and try again. When ready, tip it out and allow to cool on a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool completely if you are adding icing or frosting, as the heat will make even frosting impossible.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 180ᴼC/350ºF. Grease and line a 2-pound loaf tin. Sift the flour into a bowl, then add the milk, vanilla, sugar, and eggs. Melt the 1/2 cup of butter and mash the overripe bananas in, mixing well. Combine butter and flour mixtures, stirring just until they are completely blended. Pour all the batter into your tin and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan before serving.

You may need to update your firmware to fix a bug, or to allow your computer to play new types of discs. If you know your drive's manufacturer, visit its website and download the latest update. If you don't know the manufacturer, find it using one of these methods:  Look for a name printed on the front of your drive.  Look for a numerical code on the drive, then search for it at the FCC database. Open Device Manager and double click the entries underneath "DVD/CD-ROM Drives." On Windows 7 and later, you can have your computer attempt to fix problems automatically:  Open Control Panel. Type "troubleshooting" in the search bar in the Control Panel. Click "Troubleshooting" when it appears in the results. Look under "Hardware and Sound" and click "Configure a device." Select your CD drive and follow the onscreen instructions. Open Device Manager and look at the entries under "DVD/CD-ROM Drives." Right-click those device names and select "Uninstall." Reboot the computer to reinstall them. This is most likely to work if the name has an X or exclamation mark next to it. If there are no drives listed, the drive's cables are disconnected or the drive is broken and needs replacement.

TL;DR in English: Update your drive firmware. Use the built-in troubleshooter. Reinstall the drive.

If you are nervous your heart rate will spike, and breathing heavily could give away your location. Moreover, you are more likely to lose your cool and do something dumb if you don't stay calm and panic instead. Stay calm and collected. Try your best not to sneeze or cough, but if you must, try to do so into your sleeve or a piece of clothing to muffle the sound. Don't fidget or shift your weight if it can be helped. Yes. This means putting your cell phone on silent too. If playing hide and seek, don't give yourself up just because you think the other person has found you. Sometimes, you may think they've seen you but they actually haven't. This is especially true if you are camouflaged or have broken up your shape with strange positioning or additional cover. If you were trying to avoid detection, moving to a place the other person has already checked is a great idea, as is leaving the room when your exit is out of their line of sight. If trying to surprise someone, make sure that you take the initiative right before they would have seen you.

TL;DR in English: Stay calm. Stay quiet. Don't give yourself away. Stick with the plan.

The concept of 'naughtiness' is a human characterization that has been incorrectly applied to an animal. Your Labrador is not innately "naughty" or "bad." Rather, your dog does what Labradors do in a Labrador fashion until you teach him new behaviors. Keep in mind that he wasn't born automatically knowing the rules of living in a human world. Labradors are generally intelligent, happy, and energetic dogs. They need substantial attention and an outlet for their energy.  Labradors originated from and were developed in Newfoundland. They were frequently used by fishermen to help retrieve fishing nets and loose fish. To this day, they remain good "workers" and swimmers. The versatility of the Labrador has seen the breed utilized in many "jobs," including  search and rescue, police work, drug detection, and service work for the blind, among others. Giving them what they need will help ensure that they don't engage in "bad behaviors" as a way to cope with the insufficiency of their treatment. For example, Labradors need to play and be thoroughly walked. If you don't do this, they often become bored and destructive. Keep them active by playing fetch and going on substantial walks at least twice a day. Increased physical activity helps a dog stay healthy and also tires them out. A tired out Labrador will, in turn, be less inclined to help himself to the food in your cupboards and dig up your garden. Swimming is also excellent exercise for a dog and playing fetch in the water is a great combination that expends a lot of dog energy.

TL;DR in English: Note that there is no such thing as a 'naughty' Labrador. Read up on the breed. Treat Labradors in a manner that befits their breed.

If you want to grow purple roses, the easiest way is to get a 'parent' purple rose and use it to make more purple rose plants. The first step is to find a florist who can provide you with a fresh purple rose. Then, if you are very lucky, you may be able to get this rose to take root and grow into a viable plant. It's best to plant a cut rose when the rose is freshly picked. As the cut rose you obtained from the florist's may not be freshly picked, it's best to trim off the last inch and a half of stem. This freshens the cut surface of the rose. Always make the cut at a 45 degree angle, using a clean sharp blade such as garden secateurs (pruning shears). Alternatively, if you know someone who grows purple roses, you can request to make a cutting from their plant in order to grow your own purple rose bush. To cut from an existing plant, take about 8 inches (20.3 cm) of healthy green growth in the late summer or fall, cutting at a 45 degree angle. Once you have obtained your freshly cut rose, remove the leaves and dip the end of the stem into a rooting compound. Insert 2/3 of the stem into a cutting compost mix (or regular compost mixed with grit). Under the right conditions, the cutting will take about a year to develop enough root growth for replanting elsewhere. Not all cuttings will 'take' (i.e. develop roots) so always plant more cuttings than you need. Gardeners can usually count on between a third and a half of all cuttings developing into viable plants.

There are factors that predispose you to AF. Knowing these predisposing factors can help you to manage your AF. While some of these risk factors cannot be controlled, knowing what they are can help you to prepare for them, and will help when coming up with a management plan with your doctor. They include:  Increasing age. Stroke and heart attack affect people of all ages, but the risk increases as you get older.  Gender. Men more commonly develop medical conditions caused by AF. Heredity. People whose close blood relations have had a stroke have a higher risk of stroke, heart diseases, and AF. History of heart problems. If you have previously had a stroke or heart attack, your chances of having AF or other heart issues increases. Irregular heart rhythms due to AF can cause pooling of blood in the heart, which can lead to the formation of clots. These clots are at risk of being dislodged and traveling to the brain, where they can block blood flow and cause a stroke. You may also suffer from heart failure due to AF, because it causes the heart to beat irregularly. Over time, the heart muscle can become weak and this can result in poor circulation of blood throughout the body and eventual heart failure. When you have AF, your doctor may choose to routinely monitor your condition through a variety of tests that will provide a clearer picture or you condition.  These tests may include:  ECG, a diagnostic test for atrial fibrillation. Your doctor will be able to visualize irregularities in your heartbeat and interpret new and ongoing issues with your heart. Lab test for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), because elevated levels can cause your heart rate to rise. Lab tests for electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium, which work for the proper functioning and timing or your heart muscle.  Imbalances can affect your heart negatively. CBC or PT/INR, which check for the quality of your blood composition which affect your heart’s ability to pump blood. Imaging, such as a chest X-ray, if...

Pour the warm water into a large bowl. Stir in the yeast and 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of the granulated sugar until combined. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes.  The water must be much warmer than room temperature but not hot enough to steam. As the yeast stands, foam should begin to form. If no foam forms after the 10 minutes pass, the yeast might be dead, and your bread will not rise at all. If this is the case, you should start over with a new packet of yeast. . The milk should be at least as warm as the water. Pour it into a small saucepan and slowly heat it on the stove over medium-low heat, stirring continually to prevent it from burning. Remove the milk from the heat as soon as steam starts to form. Set the milk off to the side and allow it to cool for a few minutes. When it stops steaming, the milk should be sufficiently cool. Pour the warm milk into the proofed yeast. Also add the remaining sugar, unsalted butter, eggs, salt, cinnamon, and half of the flour. Stir until thoroughly combined.  You could try mixing the dough with a mixing spoon, but you will have better luck if you use your hands, especially once you add more of the flour and the dough starts to become thicker. If you have a stand mixer with a dough attachment, you could use that instead of using your hands. Divide the remaining flour into thirds. Add it to the dough mixture one third at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue to mix after the final addition until the dough has come together completely.  Do not add all the flour at once. Mixing the flour into the dough a little at a time makes the process easier and ensures that the moist ingredients are blended into the dough at more equal intervals. Continue mixing with your hands. You could also use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. . Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Dust your hands with flour, and knead the dough by hand for 5 to 10 minutes, until it becomes less sticky and forms a smooth, elastic mass. If the dough starts to stick at any point as you...

Sometimes, as a busy parent, it will be nearly impossible for you to make healthy snacks at home.  If you must offer store-bought snacks, choose the healthiest options possible. Chips, candy, and soft drinks are an easy option when your teenager is hungry.  If they are in the house, a teenager will eat them! Though you likely can’t prevent your teen from choosing these options at school or at the movies with their friends, you can provide better options at home. These convenient, portable snacks are often packed with sugar and fat. Most have added some vitamins and nutrients, but the amount of artificial flavorings and chemicals they contain usually outweigh the benefits. These are every bit as convenient as a power bar, but offer a good variety of whole grains, nuts, and fruit. You can also pick up individual trail mix packets with similar ingredients. Greek yogurt offers a lot of protein, but any low-fat yogurt is a good option for teens on the go. You can get these salted or unsalted, in bulk or individually wrapped. Be careful about portion control though, as nuts are high in calories. These are a great option for a teen who tends to grab chips and dip, but they offer much more nutritional value than potato chips. You can also rotate in healthy dip options, such as hummus. These packs come in every variety, from sweet treats to nuts to crackers.  Some offer less nutritional value than others, but they are all portable and very limited in calories. Convenience is key here. Bananas, apples, pears, and oranges are very portable and easy to eat.  If you want your teen to grab celery and carrots and don’t have time to cut them up yourself, you may have to opt for the more expensive pre-cut veggies.

TL;DR in English: Banish junk food. Avoid “power” bars. Try trail mix bars. Pick up individual yogurts. Grab mixed nuts. Stock up on multigrain crackers and pita chips. Look for 100-calorie packs. Buy convenient fruits and vegetables.

Decide whether you'll write about a medieval, futuristic or any other type of era. Take the time to imagine your fantasy world and the characters within it. Take notes or write an outline of how your fantasy world works. For example, if you have included supernatural creatures, are there special rules they must live by - like vampires avoiding sunlight. Rules help to give your world structure. If your story isn't set on Earth then it may be useful to draw up maps of your new world which could be included in your finished novel to give your readers a better idea of what it looks like. Don't stress too much about how well the map looks. It's purpose is to help you keep track of where all the important places are in your world. If you want to include a map in your book, you can create a beautiful detailed map later. The best fantasy novels make the unbelievable, believable by giving the reader familiar themes that they recognize. Even if your main character isn't human, they must have human problems. For example are they dealing with family feuds, relationship issues or personal problems that your reader can relate to. If they can relate to the problems then they will feel empathy to your character and care about their plight. Look at the current bestselling fantasy novels and see if you can find their unique selling point. You can be inspired by them but don't plagiarize your favorite writers. They were published for their uniqueness, so you need to seek your own. Do you want your small novel to end up in as a long series? Make a "mind map" to get a hold on all the possible outcomes.

Remember that there is always love to give and there is much we can do to enrich our lives. Talk yourself through where you were before the relationship and the ways in which you've grown throughout your time together. The powerful connection between learning and memory and the mood benefits you'll receive from acquiring new knowledge will assist you in getting over your lost love. Ask yourself:  What would I never have done before this relationship that through this relationship I could accomplish? What were some strengths of my ex-partner? Did I learn from these or develop these in myself? What did we accomplish together that I could never have accomplished by myself? You've probably had to put some goals on hold, prioritizing your past relationship over your personal desires. Once you are done with the list, you will not only see how much life has to offer, you will also have some goals to work toward in the near future.   Contemplate trips you could afford on your own but not as a couple; now might be the right time to book a trip! Enroll in a class that you didn't have time or energy for while in your relationship. Try a challenge, such as entering a local chili cooking competition or a photography contest. You don't need money to walk down your street, look at the sky, enjoy a book or sunrise, or other simple pleasures that life has to offer us. Also, a change of scenery can have a powerful impact on your mindset; the first step you take on your walk may be the first step toward a better mental state.

Position the paper on your table so the triangle on the bottom is pointing toward you. Take the left corner of the top triangle and fold it over so the edge lines up with the point in the middle. Repeat the process with the right corner of the triangle to make a diamond shape. Turn your paper over so your folds are face down. Grab the long edge of the paper and fold it so it lines up with the top point of the triangle. Press the fold firmly to form a crease. Take the opposite side of the paper and fold the edge so it lines up in the center. Each fold should look like a long trapezoid. Don’t fold over the corners of the other triangle. When you’re finished folding the bottom of the paper, flip it over so the triangles are face up. Bend the triangle over the top until the point of the triangle is about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the bottom of the diamond. Crease the fold so it stays in place. If the fold doesn’t want to stay after you press with your finger, try going over it again with your thumbnail or the side of a pen to flatten it. There should be a fold between the top and bottom triangle you just folded over. Lift open the flaps of the diamond shape and put their corners into the fold between your triangles. This will help hold your origami spaceship together and adds a cool angular design.

TL;DR in English: Fold the 2 sides on one triangle toward the center. Flip the paper over and fold the long sides onto the center. Turn over the paper and bring the triangle base toward the diamond shape. Tuck the folds of the diamond shape in between the triangle base.

Chrome plating spray kits are DIY kits that uses a variety of chemicals to apply a chrome finish to a metal object. These kits typically cost between $150-500, and can only be purchased from companies that specialize in chrome plating. The finish is more durable than standard spray paint, but utilizes dangerous and abrasive chemicals.  Spray kits will not only give your items a beautiful shine, but they’ll protect metals from rust and erosion! Unless you have a ton of objects that you’re trying to chrome plate, it’s usually cheaper to simply take your item to a shop that offers chrome plating services. You can use a chrome plating spray kit on durable plastic or metal including steel, brass, copper, and aluminum. It’s incredibly important that you avoid coming in contact with any of the chemicals you’re going to use to turn your item chrome. Wear a long-sleeved sweater with a hood and drawstrings. Put on thick rubber gloves and protective eyewear. Grab a pair of thick pants to stay safe while you’re spraying your item. Put on a respirator and tie it tight. A dust mask won’t offer enough protection for most spray chrome kits. Take your materials outside to avoid exposure to any of the chrome plating chemicals. If you’re only plating one side of an item, put a thick drop cloth down underneath your item to ensure that you’re only spraying your object. You can also set the object up on a stand or stable work surface if you want to spray your entire item at once. Do not do this on a windy day when the chemicals are going to be blown all over the place. Hold your activator 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) away from the surface of your object. Pull the trigger on your bottle to cover your object in the activating solution. Spray 10-20 times across every section of the surface to completely cover it in the activating solution. Your item must be dripping with the activating solution by the time you’re done.  The activator coats the object in a solution that will bind your chrome spray to the material of the item. Some kits will...

TL;DR in English: Buy a chrome plating spray kit from a chrome plating supply company. Put on long sleeves, a hood, a respirator, goggles, and gloves. Set your item up in a well-ventilated area. Cover the object in your activating solution spray. Mix your chroming solution with deionized water. Spray your item with the chroming solution. Apply your sealant by spraying it on. Blow dry your item to complete the process.

Find out if you can have a clothesline. Mark an area where you will place the clothesline. Determine how high the poles should be. Purchase the materials. Gather the tools.

Your footgear can either aid your quest for becoming stealthy or be a dead giveaway of your presence, every time. You need to choose the proper footgear for the environment in when you'll be moving. Practice walking and running in your chosen footgear often, so you'll get used to the tiny noises it makes.  If you're in a house, it's best to wear socks, as they are soft, and they are comfortably fitting. Going barefoot is also a good option, unless the floors are wood. Depending on your natural tendencies, sweat and excess moisture may cause you to slightly stick to the floor. This doesn't hinder your pace, however if it is dead quiet, like the middle of the night, and a target is near, the tiny 'schluk' noises your foot may make can be very detrimental. Wearing socks is nearly always your best bet indoors. Carry your shoes with you and put them on when you're clear of the house. If you're in a place with lots of grass or leaves, use socks or go with bare feet, carrying your shoes, however be wary about going barefoot in an area containing many rocks, glass/bottles, or patches of spiny plants. The last thing you want is a bleeding or painful foot while trying to sneak away.  You could also wear toe shoes or water shoes, but be careful: if these types of shoes get soaked, they can emit a "squish" sound as your foot hits the ground. To cross a rocky place (pebbles, gravel, etc.), you must use a pair of thick socks or bare feet. Soft socks and bare feet cushion the impact, but shoes will push the stones down and out, making the sound of rocks moving. For walking in a mixed environment, like a suburban street with a road, gravel, and grass, wear running shoes with soft, flexible soles. Be careful not to walk flat-footed with these shoes. The clothing you choose should match the colors of the terrain you'll be crossing, and the time of day should also be taken into account. Wear darker colors at night, and earth tones during the day. Choose fabrics that are comfortable and don't make swishy sounds. Cotton is always...

TL;DR in English: Choose stealthy footgear. Wear clothing that camouflages you. Consider investing in some eye gear.

Whether you are transplanting a flower from one outdoor spot to another or from a pot to a garden, it’s best for the plants to transplant them when they are seedlings, and only about 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) tall. You can transplant them when they are fully bloomed, but if you can, you should transplant young plants or seedling. If the soils are drastically different temperatures, the transplant can be a shock to your plant and it may suffer. Try to make sure that the soil in the pot and the soil you are transplanting to are similar temperatures. When you are picking a spot to transplant, find one that receives a lot of sun. Just as you would do when planting seeds, dig about 6 inches (15 cm) into the soil, then turn it over and sift through it. Break up large clumps and remove any stones or rocks. Make a hole the size of the marigold root ball in the soil you are transplanting to. Gently remove the marigold plant, keeping some of the planting material around the roots of the plant. Place the plant in the small hole, and pat more soil around the plant. If you are planting more than one marigold, make sure that they are spaced at least 4–6 inches (10.2–15.2 cm) apart. If you are planting a larger marigold variety, space about a foot apart.

TL;DR in English: Try to transplant seedlings, not full plants. Make sure the soils are consistent temperatures. Prepare the soil. Transplant the marigolds. Space the marigolds 4–6 inches (10.2–15.2 cm) apart.

There's a chance that the USB port you are trying is malfunctioning, or isn't producing enough power to charge the tracker. This is most common with USB hubs, or older USB ports. Try connecting the charger to a different port to see if it works. The Fitbit doesn't come with one, but you can plug the included charging cable into any USB wall charger, like the one your phone or tablet uses. This may charge your Fitbit much faster and more efficiently than plugging it into a laptop or desktop computer. The Fitbit tracker's charging contacts tend to get smudged and dirty, even after minimal use. This can cause problems when you're trying to charge it, because the tracker cannot make solid contact with the charger.  To clean your tracker's contacts, you'll need some rubbing alcohol and a cotton swap. You may also need a thumbtack to scrape hardened residue off. Examine the contacts. If they aren't shiny, dip the cotton swap in the rubbing alcohol and then vigorously scour the contacts. If the cotton swab alone doesn't clean the contacts, use the thumbtack to scrape the contacts clean, and then apply rubbing alcohol again. Examine the charger cable as well to see if it needs to be cleaned. Occasionally, a problem with the tracker may be causing issues with the charging process. Resetting the tracker can help fix this. The process varies depending on the Fitbit model you are using.  Flex - Plug the charger into a USB port, and then insert the tracker into the charger. With the tracker plugged in, insert a small paperclip into the pinhole on the back of the charger. Press and hold the paperclip for about ten seconds. One - Insert the One tracker into the charging cable and plug it in. Press and hold the tracker's button for about 10-12 seconds. Remove it from the charger and then press the button until the screen turns on. Surge - Press and hold the Home and Select buttons for about 15 seconds. The screen will flash and start to dim. Let go of the buttons and wait another fifteen seconds. Hold both buttons again to...

Not all neighborhoods, subdivisions, and cities allow clotheslines. Some people believe that they look bad in yards or neighborhoods. Check with your Home Owner's Association or city ordinances. Most loads of clothes use 35 feet of line. The length of line needs to accommodate at least one load. The area you place the clothesline in shouldn't be a high traffic area. Make sure it's not in an area where people or dogs frequently walk. You also don't want the clothesline to hang over anything, like flowers, a pool, or shrubbery.  Don't make the line any longer than that. The longer the line, the more sag the line will  have.  Avoid placing your clothesline under trees that drip sap, leaves, or other material. You also want to avoid placing your clothesline under trees with a lot of birds.  If you want to dry colored clothes, make sure there is a spot in the shade so the colors don't fade. You can spread clotheslines between multiple posts or multiple trees if you plan on drying many loads at one time. When building your clothesline, you want to make sure that it is the proper height. You don't want the clothesline to be too tall so that you can't easily hang your clothes. On the other hand, you don't want the line to be too low so that larger items, such as blankets and sheets, touch the ground. The wood for your posts need to be taller than how high you want the poles. Part of the pole will be in ground. For a 6 ft. clothesline, you will need at least wood that is 8 ft. tall. To make a proper clothesline, you need to purchase the right materials. You will need:  2- 4 x 4 x 10′ treated wood posts 2- 2 x 2 x 8′ treated wood posts 8 - 1/4″ x 6″ hot dip galvanized lag screws (and washers) 2 - 1/4” x 8” galvanized lag bolts 8 – eye hooks 2 – clothesline tighteners 2 – quick links 100 ft clothesline 2 bags Quikrete To make a clothesline, you will have to saw wood, drill holes for bolts, and dig a hole into the ground. To accomplish this, you need the following tools:  Miter saw Drill and bits Clamps Post level Post...

Jot down the formula of the ionic compound. Write the name of the metal. Add the name of the non-metal with an –ide ending. Combine the cation and anion names. Practice naming more simple ionic compounds.

Why did the two of you get into a fight? Sometimes friends disagree and need to clear the air, just like couples argue. Fighting isn’t always bad; you can express your feelings and resolve misunderstandings. But sometimes, a fight may be bigger than a simple disagreement, and it may cause you to reevaluate your friendship.  Know your limits. There may be some behaviors that you consider unforgivable. For example, you may not be able to tolerate betrayal, gossip, or cheating. If your fight crossed one of these lines, you may decide you need to end the friendship.  Sometimes friends may fight over different values. If this is the case, you may want to determine if sharing differing belief systems is a deal-breaker. For example, while you may not share the same political views, is this something that you can get past? Maybe you could agree to not talk about politics, or to share your views without arguing and agreeing to stop if things get hostile. Some friends may just be more confrontational, and having fights with each other is common. One or both of you may have certain behaviors that always trigger arguments. You may also notice fight patterns in your relationship, particularly if you have been friends for a while.  Consider your personalities. You may just be two people who like to argue -- with everyone or each other -- a lot. As long as that works for both of you, then it’s probably not necessary to end the friendship. But if you feel like you are fighting a lot, you might want to consider talking to your friend about arguing less. You and your friend may always find yourself fighting because of someone’s bad habits; for example, you are perpetually late in meeting your friend. If that’s the case, it may be better to address the behavior rather than end the friendship.  For example, you may notice that you and your friend don’t argue for long stretches at a time about anything, then all of the sudden have a huge blow-up which leaves you not speaking for weeks. You may want to talk to your friend about...

TL;DR in English: Consider the reasons behind your fight. Look at the history of your friendship. Think about your friend’s behavior. Consider your feelings about the friendship.

If your SHBG level is too high, that is generally an indicator that your testosterone is too low. Symptoms can include low libido, erectile dysfunction (in males), hot flashes, and loss of body hair. Additional symptoms include poor concentration, insomnia, moodiness, and loss of energy. There’s no need to worry about an invasive procedure. Your doctor can test your levels with a simple blood test. Since testosterone levels are at their highest in the morning, your doctor will likely have your blood drawn between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. SHBG levels can be misleading. If they are high, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you don’t have enough free testosterone. Talk to your doctor about what various results can mean. It is likely that your doctor will run the test more than once. Listen carefully when they explain their findings and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Certain prescription medications have been shown to increase SHBG levels. If your doctor recommends lowering your SHBG levels, you should go over your list of current medications together. Some medications that can raise SHBG levels are:  Raloxifene  Tamoxifen  Spironolactone  Metformin There’s some debate over whether it is actually safe and effective to treat low testosterone. In some cases, your doctor may advise a course of non-action. If they do recommend treatment, discuss dietary changes and supplements. If they recommend medication, make sure to ask about possible side effects or reactions.

TL;DR in English: Know the symptoms of high SHBG levels. Ask your doctor to perform the test. Interpret the results. Ask your doctor about limiting certain medications. Formulate a treatment plan with your doctor.

Some eyeglass frames can cast dark shadows around the eyes in certain light. To combat this, blend a lighter-toned foundation under your eyes and down the center of your nose. This technique, known as contouring, makes you appear fresher and highlights your eyes. If you like, you can take this one step further and fully contour your face by bronzing your cheek bones, the top of your forehead and either side of your nose. Be sure to fully blend the highlighting foundation and bronzer with your natural-colored face makeup. Eyebrow styling largely depends on the size and shape of your eyewear, as well as the thickness and contour of your eyebrows.  Full, defined, arched brows may be in style, but they do not always mix well with glasses. Avoid heavy eyebrow makeup if you wear big, thick frames. The same goes for those with naturally light hair or thinner eyebrows. You don't want to fill in your eyebrows with a color that's too dark or make them appear too full. If you wear smaller, subtle frames, try filling in your eyebrows with your natural color. This can help draw focus to your eyes and accentuate your look. Use an eyebrow pencil—or eyebrow powder and a thin brush—to carefully fill in your eyebrows using short, dash-like strokes. Be sparing with the makeup, and follow the natural arch of your brow. Draw attention to your eyes with striking cat-eye eyeliner, well-defined eyelashes, and pops of eye shadow color. If you choose a bright eye shadow color, make sure that it complements the color of your frames. If your eye shadow clashes with your glasses, the effect may look cheap or gaudy. It's best to highlight either your eyes or your lips — avoid coloring both. If you have eye-catching eyeglasses and you want to wear eye shadow, try pairing your look with a colorless lip gloss or slightly tinted lip balm. If you'd rather draw attention to your lips than your eyes, pass up the eye shadow and wear thin eyeliner or mascara with a bright, cheery lipstick. Some people like to complete this look with vintage-style glasses.

TL;DR in English: Lighten up your face to counter heavy frames. Avoid heavy eyebrow makeup if you wear thick frames, but consider filling your eyebrows in to accentuate thin frames. Consider wearing eyeliner to make your eyes stand out. Wear bright lipstick to balance your face, but not if you're wearing heavy makeup.

Look for the people in your life who build you up and leave you feeling better than you did before. Make an effort to spend more time with them. Ask if they'd like to get lunch with you, or if you could get together this weekend.  If you usually feel bad about yourself after spending time with someone, that's an important pattern to be aware of. Figure out why you feel that way, and whether the relationship is worth maintaining. This can be done by contacting a friendly support group, or through a search online. Learn what autistic people have to say about themselves, their symptoms, and the way they interact with the world. Autistic people, in general, are very welcoming to newly diagnosed or self-diagnosed people.   Autistic people can offer advice and tips to those in need (and often do so, especially online) The general positivity of the autistic community can help you feel better when you are feeling sad or have low self-esteem. Some people and groups think that raising "awareness" for autism makes it okay to say horrible things. You have feelings, and you deserve to be treated like an equal human being. Don't waste time on people who refuse to respect you.   Use the block button on social media if an account is negatively impacting your mood or mental health. It is okay to cut toxic people out of your life, even if they're family. You don't need their negativity, and you're much better off without them. You are not required to argue that your existence is worthwhile, and it's okay to decide not to waste your time and energy on them. If you're stuck with these people, you can either educate or avoid them. Educating them can be done by telling them about autism and making an appeal to their desire to be a good person. If you try this and fail, or if you know that they won't respond to reason, it's better to avoid spending time with them and avoid autism-related conversations. You don't deserve to listen to toxic ideas about your existence. They will help you understand yourself better and make a positive...

TL;DR in English: Surround yourself with positive people. Meet the autistic community. Avoid people and organizations that dehumanize you. Get involved with positive autism-related organizations. Make autistic friends.

If you have a pedigreed cat or dog, you'll have a registration certificate issued by the pedigree association. For cats, this may be a "blue slip" from the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA). Pedigreed dogs in the United States are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). Registration certificates are organized similar to car titles. There are boxes on the back of the certificate that you can use to transfer registration of your pet from yourself to a new owner.  Make sure you provide a complete mailing address for the new owner. This is the address the pedigree association will use to mail the new owner a new certificate. Dogs may require a supplemental transfer form. This is usually the case if the dog has had more than 2 registered owners. The new owner may not have to sign the registration certificate for the transfer. However, you must sign it as the old owner. After signing it, make a copy for your own records. The procedure for dogs is slightly different. There is another section of transfer information that must be completed and signed by the new owner. The new owner then sends the certificate to the AKC. Beneath the boxes for transfer information on the back of the certificate, you'll find the address where you need to send the certificate. The pedigree association will send a new certificate to the new owner. Include a check or money order for the transfer fees. These fees are typically around $20 or $30. Check the website of the pedigree association to find up-to-date fee information.

TL;DR in English: Locate the pet's registration certificate. Fill in the transfer information on the back of the certificate. Sign the certificate as the old owner. Mail the certificate to the pedigree association.

Let's say the ionic compound you're working with is NaCl. Use a pen or pencil to write this down on a sheet of paper. Or, if you're working in a classroom, write "NaCl" on the whiteboard. This is an example of a basic ionic compound. Basic compounds do not contain transition metals and contain only 2 ions. The first part of an ionic compound is called the "cation," which is a metal. This is the positively charged ion in the compound, and it is always written first in ionic compound formulas. Check the period table to find the name of “Na” if you need to. Na is sodium. So, write sodium. Regardless of the kind of ionic compound you’re dealing with, the name of the metal is always written first. The second component of an ionic compound is the non-metal anion. Write the non-metal's name with an "-ide" ending. Cl is chlorine. To add the "-ide" ending, just drop the 1 or 2 syllables ("-ine" in this case), and add "-ide" instead. Chlorine becomes chloride. This naming principle applies to other anions as well. For example, in an ionic compound, “Phosphorus” becomes “Phosphide” and “Iodine” becomes “Iodide.” Once you’ve found the names for the 2 components of the ionic compound, you’ve done nearly all of the work. Now you just need to put the parts together. NaCl can be written as sodium chloride. Once you've figured out how to name this ionic compound, try naming a few more simple ionic compounds. Memorizing a few common ionic compounds can help you have a better understanding of how to name ionic compounds. Remember that you don’t need to worry about the number of individual ions when naming the compounds. Here are a few more common ionic compounds:  Li2S = Lithium sulfide  Ag2S = Silver sulfide  MgCl2 = Magnesium chloride

TL;DR in English:


Pack the calamari in a jar. Add the pickling spices and vinegar. Top with the oil. Refrigerate for one day to one week. Serve cold. Store chilled.

A potato with high starch and lower water content will always be best for french fries. Try using russet potatoes that are slightly older, if possible. To help maintain uniform shape, pick larger, evenly shaped potatoes. Soaking your fries in water removes excess starch and prevents the fries from getting stuck together. Soak your fries for five minutes and strain. Place them on a plate in a single layer then pat them with paper towels. Let them lay out for a few minutes to air dry.

TL;DR in English: Start with the correct potato. Soak your fries in a bowl of cold water.

You aren’t completely hopeless if you can’t afford to live on your own. Now more than ever, people are living with roommates to afford rent. Consider this option carefully, however; trying to find a roommate will split the cost of rent and utilities in half, but it can add a lot of stress as well. Consider a few key issues before searching for a roommate:  Would you be comfortable sharing a room or an apartment? Are you expecting your roommate to be your best friend? Do you feel comfortable having someone around your personal belongings? How clean are you? Are you loud? How clean and loud would you want your roommate to be? Sharing a room with a brother, sister, or cousin is great training for life with a roommate. If you are close with one of your siblings, you may want to move out together. Make sure you trust one another to pay the bills on time. There are many ways to find roommates, whether it is through mutual friends or social media sites, but once you found someone who wants to live in the same area as you and is financially stable, talk to them in person. Some questions you should ask are:  How clean are you?  When do you go to bed, and how often do you have company? Do you have any pets, and will a significant other be living with you? Can you pay all bills on time? See if these questions influence your decision to live with the potential roommate. Your lifestyles should be mostly similar. Conflict is bound to happen when living with others. What matters is how you deal with it. Pretending to not be bothered by your roommate’s behavior will lead to frustration, but constant bickering is stressful. If you need to confront your roommate, choose your words carefully so your roommate does not feel attacked.  “I feel frustrated when you don’t wash the dishes because the room smells” is better than “You’re a slob.” Focus on the behavior, not the person. Confront problems as they arise, not when you are frustrated and overwhelmed. If your roommate confronts you, remember that they are trying to improve...

TL;DR in English: Decide if you want a roommate. Consider living with a sibling or relative. Interview potential roommates in person. Deal with conflict in a healthy way.

Before completing your adoption dossier, you'll have already compiled a variety of documents for other parts of the adoption process. Most of these documents will go into your dossier. However, these documents cannot simply be thrown in an adoption dossier. They all need to be notarized, certified, apostilled, and authenticated.  To get a document notarized and then certified, you need a Notary Public. Notary Publics are officials appointed by the state to serve as impartial witnesses to a variety of acts in order to prevent fraud. You can contact a Notary Public through the state department and have them notarize your documents and certify they are not fraudulent. Make sure you know when their term expires. You need someone whose term lasts at least a year.  You will then need your documents reviewed by the governmental body that registered the Notary. An apostille is a seal said government body puts on a document to confirm that your Notary's signature and license are valid.  Once a government official has looked at the Notary's signature and the apostille seal, they will attach a piece of paper to your document with their authorization and signature. This means your documents are notarized, certified, apostilled, and authenticated. They are ready to go into your dossier. Dossier requirements vary from agency to agency and state to sate. However, most dossiers should include the following:  Health information about the adoptive parents Financial information Adoption petition and post placement agreement from your adoption agency Copies of birth certificates and marriage licenses (single parents only need their birth certificates) Any forms related to confirming your citizenship Employment verification Certificates regarding a completed home study Criminal background check results Copy of your most recent Federal Tax Return Copies of your passport Photographs of your family, friends, pets, and house Compiling an adoption dossier is a stressful process. Small mistakes can result in the delay of an adoption,...

TL;DR in English: Understand documents in an adoption dossier need further review. Know what documents you need. Decide whether to compile the dossier yourself or hire someone.

Your smartphone or video camera should be your trusty companion--take it everywhere. Maybe you’ll get lucky and catch something hilarious that could eventually go viral. Maybe you’ll catch something more serious and help to bring justice to an innocent person. If the footage won’t work for your current project, save the file for later. Good editing can take a channel to the next level. Pay attention to different camera angles, close-ups, and scene transitions. If your video focuses on your face for several minutes, mix it up with a few angle changes (from frontal to three-quarter, for example). If you’re doing a demonstration, get a nice close-up of the project you’re working on. Listen for background music or white noise in the soundtrack. Don’t stress about copying other YouTubers' editing styles exactly. Instead, they should give you an idea of where to put certain elements. To keep your viewers updated on all the new and exciting content you’re producing, check your notification settings while you’re waiting for your video to upload. Set your channel to notify subscribers when you add new content. Click “Advanced Settings,” and scroll down to “Distribution Options.” The option “Notify Subscribers” should be checked automatically. If it’s not, check it! This way, everyone who subscribes to your channel will receive an email when you upload new content. On the other hand, if you decide to upload multiple videos at once, uncheck the notification box. Uploading 20 videos in one day will flood your poor subscribers’ inboxes with 20 emails. After you upload your video, you’ll have the chance to set and edit automatic captions. Take it. You can be the clearest speaker in the world, and automatic captions will still contain tons of mistakes. This is unfair to your deaf and hearing-impaired viewers. Take the time to read and correct the captions after you upload your video. Use this opportunity for a little viewer engagement! Ask them to let you know if they see any errors. If you’re already replying to comments...

TL;DR in English: Prepare to capture chance moments. Notice how popular YouTubers edit their videos. Set notifications. Fix the captions. Interact with your audience.

Transfer the cooked squid rings and tentacles to your prepared jar. The jar should be anywhere from halfway to three-quarters full. Do not pack the jar to the very top, however, since there will not be enough room for the spices and liquid if you do so.    Place the remaining three bay leaves, black peppercorns, garlic, and oregano or rosemary in the jar. Pour the white vinegar on top.  While not strictly essential, you may want to toss the spices and squid gently inside the jar to spread the seasonings more evenly.     Pour enough vinegar over the contents of the jar to cover the squid completely. Make sure that there is at least 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.75 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar when finished, however.     White vinegar is used in this recipe, but you can experiment some with the pickling liquid. For instance, try white wine or white wine vinegar. The liquid you use must be acidic, though, so keep that in mind before you choose to experiment with another option.    Slowly pour the oil on top of the contents in the jar. You should have a layer of oil that is roughly 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.  The oil should float on top of the vinegar. It serves as another barrier against air and other contaminants.     Do not fill the jar to its brim. Always leave at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar, just in case the contents expand during refrigeration.     After adding the oil, place the lid on the jar. Make sure that the seal on the lid is secure and airtight.    Place the sealed jar in your refrigerator and keep it there for a minimum of one day. For best results, allow the jar to sit in the refrigerator for a full week.  During this time, the pickling spices will marinate and flavor the calamari. The vinegar and remaining salt will be able to pickle the squid during this time, as well.     The longer you let the calamari rest, the stronger the flavor will be.    To serve the pickled calamari, remove it from the marinade and serve it immediately. Pickled...

By retaining a reliable source of income and starting your new business as a side business, you save yourself from the worry of not knowing how you'll pay your mortgage and from dealing with mountains of potential debt. However, you will have to work harder. Ideally, when your new business begins to pick up steam, you can gradually make the transition from a full time employee at your old job to a consultant or part-time worker. Eventually, you can transfer to your own business full-time. Though in real life this process often doesn't go quite as smoothly, it's almost always safer than dropping everything to pursue a dream that hasn't materialized yet.  This first step is all the more important if you're supporting a family. Don't jeopardize your family's future by giving up your primary source of income to pursue a personal dream. Though it's harder to balance your side project with your day job and your family life, it's  much  safer. If you think you may want to start your own business in the near future, avoid signing an employment contract with a clause restricting your ability to pursue other sources of income. Don't be afraid to carefully go over your contract with a lawyer. How will you make money? If you can't answer this question, you shouldn't start your own business. The purpose of any for-profit institution is to make money - have a detailed plan for how to do this before you embark on your business venture. Try to answer the following questions - these are fairly fundamental and by no means exhaustive:   How much will it cost you to provide your product or service to the customer? How much will you charge the customer for your product or service?  How will you increase the volume of your business? In what ways will your business offer a better deal than your competitors? What kinds of people will you need to hire? Can the work be done without these people? Who are your competitors? What do they charge for the product or service you're offering? Can you realistically provide this product or...

TL;DR in English: Keep your current job. Design a business plan. Do a competitive analysis. Research and test your ideas. Find opportunities to build skills cheaply. Make the most of your existing assets. Streamline your staffing plans. Ask friends and/or family for a loan. Secure an official small business loan. Get the word out.

If you feel inclined to beat someone up, you could have an anger problem.  While anger can be healthy, it can also be unhealthy.  You may need to deal with an anger problem through self-help or professional help if the following are true:   Insignificant things make you very angry. When you’re angry, you display aggressive behaviors, including yelling, screaming, or hitting. The problem is chronic; it happens over and over again. When you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, your temper gets worse and your behavior more violent. Meditation can help you regulate your emotions.   If you feel that you are overly focused on your negative feelings for another person, give yourself a little mental vacation through meditation.  Meditating regularly can help you control your emotions, which can help you maintain control over your actions.  Take slow, deep breaths.  Maintaining this breathing will likely bring down your elevated heart rate.  Your breaths should be deep enough that your belly extends on the “in” breath. Visualize a golden-white light filling your body as you breathe in, relaxing your mind. When you breathe out, visualize muddy or dark colors leaving your body. Making a habit of meditating every morning, even when you're not angry, will make you feel more calm in general. Anger management programs have been proven to be highly successful.  Effective programs help you understand anger, develop short-term strategies to deal with anger, and build your emotional control skills. There are many options available for finding a program that is right for you.   Individual programs may be available in your area for specific age groups, occupations, or life situations. To find an anger management program that is right for you, try searching online for “anger management class” plus the name of your city, state, or region.  You can also look for appropriate programs by asking your physician or therapist, or consulting the self-improvement course offerings at your local community center. The best way to learn...

TL;DR in English: Determine whether you have a problem with anger. Learn to meditate. Take an anger management class. Seek therapy.

You want to avoid bug bites when camping. Before adding your leaves to the shelter, sift through them to check for bugs. If you have a rake, raking through the leaves first may help remove any bugs. Carry insect repellent that contains DEET when camping. This can help prevent mosquito bites. While leaves can work on a lean-to, it may be safer to pin a tarp up for insulation. You are less likely to be exposed to bugs this way, and the insulation may be greater. Try to remember to bring a trap each time you go camping. Hypothermia is a real concern when camping, especially if you're using a shelter like a lean-to. If you live in a cold area especially, make sure to bring adequate bedding and clothing.  Always bring a plastic ground cloth to lay down under your lean-to. Wear many layers of lightweight clothing.

TL;DR in English: Check your leaves for bugs. Carry a tarp when camping. Make sure you have adequate bedding.

Wash the jars or bottles you plan on using in hot, soapy water. Rinse well, then dry completely.  Use glass or plastic containers. Even if the containers have never been used before, you should still clean them thoroughly to avoid contaminating the honey. Spoon the honey into your prepared containers or pour them into the containers through a funnel. Close the jars or bottles with airtight lids. Monitor your jars of honey for a few days after you first package them. If any debris still remains in the honey, it should rise to the surface of each container after two or three days. Remove the debris, then seal the jars of honey for long-term storage. Natural, organic honey can usually be stored for many months at room temperature as long as your container is sealed well. The amount of honey you collect will vary based on the size of your honeycomb, the health of your bees, the time of season you harvest in, and the overall success of the season. In ideal conditions, though, you can get about 3-1/2 lbs (1.6 kg) of honey from one honeycomb.

TL;DR in English: Sterilize your containers. Bottle the honey. Store and enjoy.

Steady state cardio is any aerobic exercise that keeps your heart rate at a relatively stable level for at least 10 minutes.  This type of exercise will help burn calories and support your metabolism.  In general, it's recommended to get at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity each week (or 30 minutes five days a week).  Aim for a mix of moderate- and high-intensity activity.  This combination will burn calories from fat in addition to providing cardiovascular benefits.  A variety of activities can be considered moderate-intensity cardio including:  jogging/walking, running, biking, hiking, use the stair master or elliptical, swimming or dancing. Some studies even suggest up to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio daily for the most effective reduction in stomach fat. Try to get in your cardio exercises in the morning before eating your first meal.  Exercising in this fasted state means your body will be using energy from its storage form — fat.  Try to include any type of cardio exercise in the morning.  Even a quick 20 – 30 minute walk can help your body use its excess fat stores for energy. Getting up earlier in the morning may be difficult.  Make it a priority and after a few weeks your body and mind will get used to getting up earlier. Make sure you go to bed earlier as well.  It's important to get adequate rest, so you may need to move up your bed time if you're planning on an AM workout. Although cardio is responsible for burning and reducing overall body fat, adding in some light strength training can help tone your stomach.  Include a variety of core strengthening and toning exercises.  When you've reduced the amount of stomach fat, toning your abdominal muscles will give you a more defined look. Try toning exercises like:  crunches, planks, bicycle crunches, or v-sits. Toning exercises will help strengthen muscles; however, it is not possible to "spot treat" this particular area. It is a myth that you can target where on your body you will lose fat, so doing abdominal exercises won't cause you...

Use a vacuum cleaner for routine cleaning. Rinse the filter for a deeper clean. Hose your filter down. Use the automatic cleaning function.

At birth, a newborn’s skin may appear smooth and slightly puffy. There may also be noticeable swelling. Some amount of puffiness, especially on an infant's head or eyes (called edema) is not uncommon and will go away. However, let your physician know if you notice increased swelling after birth, especially in a particular area, such as the newborn’s feet or hands. 24-36 hours after birth, a newborn’s skin may still be pinkish, but it may also begin to look flaky. There may be some skin peeling (most common in the hands and feet); normally, it will go away without issue. Your infant’s skin may still turn reddish when he or she cries, and turn slightly bluish or spotted if he or she becomes cold. A newborn’s skin may be covered in vernix caseosa, a white, cheesy substance. This may be present only at skin folds, such as on the legs. This protects the infant’s skin from amniotic fluid when in the womb, and will wash off during his or her first bath. Since the vernix caseosa washes away, you may not notice it for very long, if at all. ” Mild acne may develop in the first few weeks of an infant’s life. This is caused by the mother’s hormones that were passed to infant. The condition is harmless, and will clear on its own. Many infants will show “cradle cap” (Seborrheic dermatitis) at some point. The skin on top of the infant’s head will appear dry, flaky, and perhaps oily. Cradle cap is harmless and it will typically go away by the time an infant is one year old. You can care for cradle cap at home:  Rub the skin of your baby’s head with baby oil, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly an hour before shampooing. This will help to loosen dry and dead skin flakes. Wet the baby’s scalp before shampooing, and brush gently with a soft-bristle brush. This well help to remove cradle cap scales. Wash and rinse your baby’s scalp, then gently dry it with a towel.

TL;DR in English: Watch for swelling. Expect some peeling and flaking. Look for a natural coating on the skin. Expect some “baby acne. Care for “cradle cap,” if it appears.

The object of the game is to be the first player to reach the end by moving across the board from square one to the final square. Most boards wrap back and forth, so you move left to right across first row, then move up to the second and move right to left, and so on. Follow the numbers on the board to see how to move forward. For example, if you rolled a five and you were on space number 11, then you would move your game piece to space number 16. Each player should roll one die to see who gets the highest number. Whoever rolls the highest number gets to take the first turn. After the first player takes a turn, the person sitting to that player’s left will take a turn. Play continues in a circle going left. If two or more people roll the same number, and it is the highest number rolled, each of those people roll the die an additional time to see who gets to go first. To take your turn, roll the die again and read the number that you rolled. Pick up your game piece and move forward that number of spaces. For example, if you roll a two, move your piece to square two. On your next turn, if you roll a five, move your piece forward five squares, ending up on square seven. Some people play that you can only move onto the board if you roll a one, and if you don't get a one, you just skip your turn. This isn't recommended, since this can be frustrating for unlucky players. The ladders on the game board allow you to move upwards and get ahead faster. If you land exactly on a square that shows an image of the bottom of a ladder, then you may move your game piece all the way up to the square at the top of the ladder. If you land at the top of a ladder or somewhere in the middle of a ladder, just stay put. You never move down ladders. Some versions have snakes on the board, while others have chutes (slides). Snakes (or chutes) move you back on the board because you have to slide down them. If you land exactly at the top of a snake or chute, slide your game piece all the way to the square at the bottom of the snake or...

TL;DR in English: Understand the object of the game. Decide who goes first. Roll the die and move. Climb up ladders. Slide down snakes or chutes. Take an extra turn if you roll a six. Land exactly on the last square to win.

Incorporate foods from the five groups into your daily diet. Eat smaller and more frequent meals during the day to minimize your symptoms. This can ensure that you get the nutrients important for you and your baby.  Managing your diet can also reduce GI symptoms. Select foods from the five groups ever day, including:  Three servings of lean proteins like chicken, salmon, nuts, or  pork Five or more servings of fruits and vegetables, such as raspberries or broccoli At least three servings of calcium-rich and low-fat dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese or eggs Six or more 2 oz (60 g) servings of whole grains such as brown rice or pasta and whole wheat bread. . Drink at least 15 cups of water a day. This can keep you hydrated and sustain your pregnancy. It can also ease GI issues such as nausea and constipation. Include non-caffeinated tea, bouillon, sodas, and juices in your daily water total. Clear, non-caffeinated soft drinks such as low-sugar ginger ales may also ease nausea and vomiting. Sit or stand up straight for several hours after eating or drinking. Bending over or lying down flat can cause heartburn or belching and may make your GI symptoms worse. Wait at least 3 hours to go to bed after a meal to ensure your slowed digestion doesn’t keep you awake. Steer clear of foods and beverages with alcohol or caffeine during your pregnancy. Do not smoke. All three substances can harm your baby. They can also make GI issues worse. Speak to your doctor if you are having trouble avoiding these substances. They can help you reduce your intake. Review your food journal and see if you notice any correlation between certain foods and your GI issues. Limit or avoid these foods as much as possible. Some typical trigger foods for pregnant women include:  Fatty foods, including fried foods and fatty cuts of meat Chocolate Spicy dishes  Citrus fruits and other acidic foods such as tomatoes Salad dressings Ask your doctor if you and your baby are healthy enough for gentle to moderate exercise. Aim to get at least 30...

If you’re looking to buy a suit without breaking the bank, off-the-rack is your best option. You can often get a good quality off-the-rack suit for $300-$500 USD. However, it’s always worth the extra $50-$100 USD to take it to a tailor’s shop for adjustments to fit you better.  The closer you are to “average” size (in both height and weight), the better luck you’ll have with off-the-rack suits. Even if you’re perfectly average, though, no off-the-rack suit is going to fit you just right. You can buy off-the-rack suits for even cheaper, perhaps $100-$200 USD, but the craftsmanship is likely to be poor, meaning the suit won’t last nearly as long. With MTM, an existing suit template will be tailored to fit you, typically based on 1-2 fittings. This means you’ll get a much better fit than off-the-rack, while not paying the exorbitant amount it costs to have a suit custom-made from scratch.  MTM suits are machine-finished to fit your measurements, meaning you can get your suit with a fairly quick turnaround time—perhaps 2-4 weeks. MTM suits often start in the $500-$1000 USD range. Many major suit retailers now offer MTM options alongside their off-the-rack offerings. A bespoke suit is crafted from scratch, and primarily by hand, by a skilled tailor. You’ll have full control over the material and style of the suit, and you’ll typically take part in 5-10 fittings to make sure it fits you perfectly.  A bespoke suit should last you for at least 20 years, and maybe many more. Since they’re precisely crafted to fit you, they’re also easier to adjust should your body proportions change over time. Bespoke suits can take months to craft, and the work comes at a cost. Expect to pay $3000-$5000, and possibly $10,000, for a custom-made suit. Keep in mind that they can easily last you a lifetime, though. Start your suit-buying excursion by heading to a few high-end suit retailers and checking out their selections. Even if you’re sure the price tags are beyond your means, take the time to note the construction, stylistic...

TL;DR in English: Buy a suit off-the-rack, then get it tailored, for the budget option. Try a made-to-measure (MTM) suit for a nice balance between fit and value. Get a bespoke (custom-made) suit for an ultimate fit and a long-term investment. Try on suits you can’t afford before moving on to ones you can afford. Check for quality and be willing to pay for it. Make your first suit charcoal gray, single-breasted, 2-buttoned, and notched.

In addition to being able to use any type of wood in the Minecraft world to make a set of stairs, you can also use certain types of stone:  Bricks (made from clay) Quartz Cobblestone Sandstone (mined or made from sand) Nether brick You'll need six blocks of the same material to create a set of four stair blocks. In order to do so:   Stone - Mine any kind of stone (cobblestone, sandstone, mossy stone, stone bricks, etc.) with at least a wooden pickaxe.  Wood - Mine any kind of wood (jungle, birch, oak, etc.) with any tool. Use an axe for the quickest production. To do this, right-click the crafting table (computer edition) or press your console controller's left trigger while facing the table. If you don't have a crafting table, you can press E (or X for consoles) and use four wood planks to create a crafting table. To create stairs, you'll need to place three blocks in the first column of the crafting table, two in the second column, and one in the third.  You'll need to place your blocks starting on the bottom row of the crafting table. If you're using the Xbox version of Minecraft, simply scroll over to the stairs icon and then scroll up or down to select your preferred material. It's to the right of the crafting table interface. Doing so will both create a set of four stairs blocks and add them to your inventory.  On Xbox, just press A. If your quick-access bar at the bottom of the screen has an opening, the stairs will be added to it.

TL;DR in English: Decide on a material for your stairs. Collect at least six blocks of your chosen material. Open your crafting table. Place your material in the crafting table. Click the stairs icon.

Just pop the filter out or unclip it (depending on the make and model of your air conditioner) and use the tube extension on your vacuum cleaner to suck all the grit and dust out of the filter.  Replace the filter when you’ve finished cleaning it.  If you’ve taken good care of your air conditioner’s filter, you might not see a visible change in the filter when cleaning it.  Rest assured, it is getting clean. On the other hand, you might not be able to get all the dust and grit out of the filter.  Just use the vacuum to suck up as much as you can.  This method is best for giving your filter its regular cleaning. If, after you’ve vacuumed your filter, it still has a good deal of particulate attached, try washing it.  To get started, remove your air conditioner filter.  Mix one part vinegar and one part water.  For instance, you might mix five cups of water and five cups of vinegar.  Pour the mixture in a tub or a wide sink that can accommodate your filter.  Submerge your filter in the mixture for at least one hour.  If it is exceptionally grimy, leave it in for two hours or more. Drain the water and vinegar solution and dry the filter on a rack.  Replace it when dry. Instead of water and vinegar, you could mix a small amount of detergent or liquid dish soap into a volume of water that will cover your filter when it is submerged. If the weather is nice and your filter is too large to fit in your sink, take your filter outside and lean it against a wall.  Spray your hose on the filter.  Do not use a pressurized hose nozzle or you might risk tearing or damaging the flimsy filter.  You could also hose your filter down in your shower.  Just prop the filter up in your shower and, using your shower’s detachable showerhead, spray the filter’s entire surface, front and back, in a zig-zag motion. After hosing your filter down, allow it to dry, then replace it. For added effect, you could sprinkle a few spoonfuls of baking soda over your filter before spraying it down. Some modern air conditioners might be equipped with a...
