In a large bowl or cup, combine 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) of water, 1/3 cup (40 grams) of cornstarch, and 1/3 cup (40 grams) of baking soda. Stir in a few drops of food coloring. Carefully pour the mixture into a plastic squeeze bottle. Repeat the process for the rest of the colors, if desired. Fill a spray bottle with white, distilled vinegar. Draw designs on the sidewalk with the liquid chalk. Spray the designs with vinegar while they are still wet.

Look for the vein that runs down your horse's neck, which is called the jugular. This vein will be in a groove that runs along the lower part of your horse's neck, from its head to its torso. Position your hand over the vein, then apply pressure to show how fast the blood is pumping through the vein. The pressure will also make the vein bulge. Keep your hand pressed against the horse’s neck for the entire process of drawing the blood. Use your first 3 fingers to firmly tap the vein about halfway up the horse’s neck. Watch for the vein to bulge slightly, which will make it easier to insert your needle. Make sure you keep your non-dominant hand against the lower part of the neck while you do this. The pressure on the lower part of the neck will reduce blood flow, which makes the vein bulge above your hand so that you can see it more easily. Dampen a piece of gauze with rubbing alcohol, then wipe the horse’s neck where you plan to insert the needle. Press down into the horse’s coat to really clean the area. You don’t want dirt and bacteria to linger on the skin. This will help you avoid accidentally pushing dirt or bacteria into the injection site, which can result in an infection.

TL;DR in English: Use your non-dominant hand to press down on the bottom of the horse’s neck. Tap lightly on the middle of the jugular vein to make it easier to see. Wipe the draw site with rubbing alcohol to sterilize it.

The more you walk through and spend time in your palace, the more easily you will recall its contents on demand. You want the visualization to feel effortless and natural. Try to walk through the entire route a couple of times or block out a chunk of time each day to visualize the palace from start to finish.  For example, see James Joyce sitting on your toilet as if he belongs there and really is an integral part of your bathroom décor instead of an imagined image. This helps you remember that James Joyce was the author known for his toilet humor. The best part is you can practice this anywhere, anytime. All you have to do is close your eyes. Once you have memorized the contents of your palace remember them simply by following the route or visualizing a room. With practice you will be able to start anywhere in your palace or along your route to recall a specific piece of information. If you need to remember that your girlfriend’s birthday is March 16, simply go into your bedroom and see the soldiers “marching" on the bed to the tune of the 80s cult classic “Sixteen Candles." A memory palace can be reused over and over again. Simply replace the existing contents with new information. After a few practice runs, you’ll soon forget the old data and only remember the new data in its place. If your palace is becoming too large or contains information you no longer need, remove that data from the route. If you have something new you’d like to commit to memory, but you don’t want to erase your current memory palace, simply build a new one. File the old palace away and start the process all over again, choosing a different place to use as your palace. Memory palaces will last as long as you want them to once they’re stored in your brain. For example, you might have your house store the names of all the U.S. presidents. Then, your walk to work contains the phone numbers of your friends and family. And your office itself has the contents of the speech you’re giving tomorrow.

TL;DR in English: Spend at least 15 minutes exploring your palace every day. Recall information by walking through your palace or looking around it. Clean up your memory palace when you need to update data. Build new palaces for different topics and information.

A man in a midlife crisis may either gain or lose a lot of weight. With that obviously comes changes in eating and exercising, too. This will seem to come on suddenly instead of a gradual weight loss or gain that most of us experience ten times over. Some men will gain a lot of weight, start binging on junk food and take up a sedentary lifestyle. Others will lose weight, lose interest in food, and even go on crash diets or excessively exercise. In certain cases, both are unhealthy. It's possible that a rogue, gray nose hair set off your man's midlife crisis. If he had this dawning revelation that he's getting old, he may start taking strides to look and stay young, ridiculous as they may be. He may try anti-aging solutions that range from a cabinet full of creams to cosmetic procedures or even plastic surgery. A change of fashion may come, too. All of a sudden it's as if he's raided your son's closet in a desperate attempt to be cool. Sounds terribly embarrassing, but it's nothing compared to plastic surgery. Often men mid-crisis see themselves and realize that they don't recognize their reflection. In their heads, they're still that gregarious 25-year-old with a full head of hair and tanned, glowing skin. One day they wake up and that hair seems to have moved to their nose and ears and that tan, glowing skin is still tan and glowing, just a few inches south. Imagine if you woke up feeling 20 years older. Terrible, huh? That's what your man is going through. He's facing the realization that he's not young anymore and life is half over – and he's weathered to prove it.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to weight changes. Notice if he obsesses over his appearance. Know that he may look in the mirror and not know who he is.

In order to reduce the pain and swelling involved with an ingrown toenail, soak the foot with the ingrown toenail for 10-20 minutes in warm, soapy water, three times a day for one to two weeks.  The Epsom salt can also help with pain and inflammation. Fill a tub with warm water and add 1-2 tablespoons of Epsom salts. Place your foot into the water, and relax while it soaks. When finished soaking, dry your toe completely. You can do this multiple times a day if the pain gets too much for you. Never soak your foot in hot water. It should always be soaked in warm water. To relieve the pressure under the ingrown edge of the toenail, doctors sometimes suggest propping the nail up slightly. This is done by sticking a small piece of cotton or thick floss under the edge of the nail. This technique helps pull the nail away from the skin, so it no longer digs into the skin.  If you use cotton, you can dip it in antiseptic to help ease the pain and prevent infection under the nail. If the nail is infected, this may also help to soak up any moisture that is trapped under the nail. If you use thick floss, make sure that it is unflavored and unwaxed. Do not insert a metal tool under the nail to try to insert cotton or floss. This could damage the toe further. Antibacterial ointment is helpful when dealing with an infected ingrown toenail. Before you apply the ointment, dry your toe completely. Cover the infected area with an antibacterial cream. Apply the ointments in a thick coat over the infected area of the toe. Wrap your toe with a bandage such as a large band-aid. This prevents debris from entering the wound and keeps the ointment in place. Use antibacterial ointments such as Neosporin. Ingrown toenails that become infected should not be treated at home, which is true for most infected wounds. Visit a podiatrist, more commonly known as a foot doctor, to get treatment for your infection. If the infection and nail are bad enough, minor surgery may be required. For the most part, however, a simple surgical procedure...

TL;DR in English: Soak your toe. Prop up the edge of the nail. Apply antibacterial ointment. Visit a foot doctor (podiatrist).

Unlike most knots, the Pratt knot begins with the tie upside down, so the seam of the tie is facing forward. Hang the wide end of the tie over your right side, and the narrow end over your left side. This medium size knot suits most collars and builds. In a knotted tie, the wide end should just graze the top of your belt buckle. At the start, however, raise or lower the wide end until it hangs 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) below this point. As a rule of thumb, the Pratt knot will lift the wide end by this distance as you tie the knot. The narrow end of the tie should be higher than the wide end. It will usually be around belly button level, but this is less important than the wide end's placement. Move the wide end across your body to the left side, placing it underneath the narrow end. Do not move the narrow end of the tie for any part of this knot. Just hold it steady while you use the wide end.

TL;DR in English: Place the tie upside down around your collar. Check the position of the wide end. Cross the wide end under the narrow end.

Mix everything together using a whisk or fork. There should be no lumps or clumps. The mixture will be a little bit thick, which is fine. This will be enough for one color. Try to use a bowl or cup that has a little pouring spout. This will make it easier to pour the mixture into the spray bottles later on. You will need about 5 to 20 drops. The more drops you add, the brighter your color will be. Keep stirring until you get an even color. There should be no streaks or swirls.  You can also use liquid watercolors instead of food coloring. You can try using washable tempera paint, but it might make the mixture too thick to squeeze out of the bottles. Close the bottle and shake it to mix everything together. If you are having troubles pouring the mixture, try sticking a funnel into the next of the bottle first. Pour the mixture through the funnel. If you want to make more colors, mix up a new batch of water, baking soda, and cornstarch. Use a different color for each bottle. The vinegar is important. It will react with the baking soda, and cause the paint to fizz. If you are having troubles getting the vinegar into the spray bottle, stick a clean funnel down into the neck, and pour the vinegar through the funnel. Open the tip of the squeeze bottle and squirt out some designs onto the sidewalk. The colors may look a little translucent at first, but they will become brighter once they dry. The vinegar and baking soda will react with other. They will bubble and fizz, and create a new, foamy design.

If you need to go, go! Even if you're in the middle of a conversation, leave. Others will understand and a difficult situation will be avoided. If you are in a situation where bathrooms will be hard to access, regulate your liquid intake.  Events like operas and plays may not let you leave the theatre. Airplanes, concerts, and sports games are notorious situations for difficult access to bathrooms. Avoid drinking a lot of alcohol in a short period of time. Alcohol is a diuretic. That in combination with impaired judgment and a relaxed body can lead to a messy accident.   Before you start drinking, note where the closest bathroom is. Ask your friends to tell you when they are going to the bathroom and go with them. You may forget or not realize how badly you need to go. Use a Blood Alcohol Calculator to determine exactly how drunk you are getting. You may not feel the effects of the liquor right away and continue to drink. Invest in adult diapers or sanitary napkins. It may feel uncomfortable or embarrassing, but it will catch leaking urine. Adults wear diapers and sanitary napkins for a variety of different reasons that can cause bladder control issues:  Urinary infections Prostate gland enlargement Specific diseases (Parkinson’s, arthritis, dementia, etc.) Pregnancy Post-Menopause If this is a regular occurrence, you may have a medical condition such as Overactive Bladder. Your health provider may give you the help you need, and you won't have to continuously cope with wetting yourself.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to your body. Know your environment. Regulate your liquor intake. Wear absorbent products. Seek help from your doctor.

As a general rule, you should use about 5 oz (150 ml) of juice per 1.5 to 2 oz (45 to 60 ml) of gin. The type of juice you use is really up to you, but tart juices are more commonly used than sweet juices.  For a milder taste, consider using pineapple juice, orange juice, pomegranate juice, cherry juice, or grape juice. For a slightly stronger taste, consider grapefruit juice or cranberry juice. You can also combine juices as long as the ratio of gin to juice remains the same. Try mixing grapefruit juice and orange juice, cranberry and grape, or another of your favorite juice combinations.  Strong citrus fruits, like lemon and lime, can also be mixed with gin but are generally combined with other ingredients, like syrup or soda water, to dilute the sourness. Secure the lid on the container and shake it using a vigorous up and down motion away from your face and away from anyone else. Shake it for at least 15 seconds to mix the ingredients completely. Release the lid and pour the contents of the mixture over the ice. A slice of citrus fruit, like lemon or lime, works well depending on the juices in your drink. You could also float a small sprig of mint on top of the drink. In order to maintain a proper balance of flavor, the drink should be consumed before the ice has a chance to melt.

TL;DR in English: Pour the gin and juice into a shaker. Shake the liquids together. Pour the gin and juice into the glass. Add a garnish. Serve immediately.

If you're only drilling a few holes through steel, you can use a regular high-speed steel bit. If you're drilling a lot of holes, or through hardened steel, then a cobalt steel bit or black oxide bit is a better choice.  Most drill bits are sold in a set with multiple sizes. If your drill bit is dull, it's not difficult to sharpen the drill bit yourself. Place the drill bit in your drill and tighten it so it’s held firmly in your drill. The smaller drill bit puts less pressure on the metal and allows you to drill larger holes easier later on. For example, if you want the hole to be 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) at the end, start by drilling a hole that’s 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm). Drill presses are heavy duty machines that make sure your drill bit goes straight through the metal with the most accuracy. See if there is a workshop around you where you can use their drill press or purchase one for yourself.  There are 2 different models of drill press that you can purchase. Choose a bench drill press for a compact option that will fit right on your workbench. Pick a floor model drill press if you plan on frequently working with larger pieces of steel. If you plan on offering metal fabrication services to others, consider getting a drill press for the most accuracy. WD40 is for getting water out of rusted bolts. Place the lubricant on the end of the drill bit and on the sheet of steel you plan to drill. This helps protect the drill bit and the metal to make a smooth cut.  Spray the steel periodically while you’re drilling to keep it lubricated and reduce friction. Look for a 3-in-1 oil with a telescoping spout so you can lubricate the drill bit as it’s running.

TL;DR in English: Use a sharp bit. Use a drill bit half the diameter as the size you want to start. Work with a drill press for larger pieces of steel. Use 30 weight oil and water in a spray bottle or a lubricant oil on the drill bit.

Eating fermented foods like sauerkraut and pickles can help increase orexin production. Fermented foods contain lactic acid, and the production of lactic acid can block glucose production, which decreases orexin production. So eating more fermented foods can actually help increase orexin production. When you eat sugar and carbs, your body converts them into glucose. Research suggests that increased glucose levels actually prevent the production of orexin. By eating less sugar and carbs you give your body the chance to produce more orexin, which can potentially increase your energy or promote weight loss.  You can reduce your carb intake by staying away from starchy foods like potatoes and carrots, as well as bread and pasta.  Stay away from foods that are high in sugar. A lot of processed foods have added sugar, so make sure you check the nutrition facts. Fruit also has a bit of naturally occurring sugar, so you should cut back on those, too. Intermittent fasting during the day can actually make your body producing more orexin. Start fasting for 16-20 hours per day. Then, at the end of each day, eat a large nutritious meal. If intermittent fasting makes you feel worse, go back to your normal eating schedule and look for other dietary changes you can make to increase your orexin levels. If your doctor determines your orexin levels are low, they may prescribe certain medications to help your body increase its production of orexin.  If your orexin levels are low because of narcolepsy, your doctor might prescribe 400 mg modafinil per day. Follow your doctor's instructions exactly, because modafinil is a controlled substance and overdosing is easy.  Your doctor may also prescribe Orexin-A to help increase your orexin levels. How the drug is administered will depend on your levels, but it will likely be through the nose or in the form of an injection your doctor will give you in the office. Taking omega 3 supplements might help increase orexin levels in people who don't have narcolepsy. You can also try...

TL;DR in English: Consume more fermented foods. Eat less sugar and carbs. Try intermittent fasting to increase your orexin levels. Talk to your doctor about taking medication. Consider other potential ways to increase orexin levels.

Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high. Lay 4 chorizo links on the hot grill and close it. Cook the chorizo for 30 to 35 minutes or until the links reach 160 °F (71 °C). Transfer the chorizo to a cutting board and rest the links for 5 minutes before serving.

Most MU charts have at least these three columns. There may sometimes be more, but these display the most crucial information. Typically, these are arranged from left to right. Note that the column headers will not always match these exactly. For example, the "Quantity" column may be labeled "Items bought," "Units purchased," or something similar. The important thing is the information in the column. A "classic" MU chart is often used to demonstrate that, as a consumer buys more of a certain good, the desire to purchase even more goods will drop. In other words, after a point, the marginal utility of each additional good purchased will start to decrease. Eventually, the consumer will start to be less satisfied overall than before buying the additional goods. In the example chart above, this trend of diminishing returns starts almost immediately. The first ticket to the film festival provides lots of marginal utility, but each ticket after the first gives a little less. After six tickets, each extra ticket actually has a negative MU, which decreases the total satisfaction. An explanation for this might be that, after six visits, the consumer starts to get tired of seeing the same movies again and again. This is the point where marginal price exceeds MU. A marginal utility chart makes it easy to predict how many units of goods a consumer will buy. As a reminder, consumers tend to buy goods until the marginal price (the cost of one more unit of the goods) is greater than the MU. If you know how much the goods being analyzed in the chart cost, the point where utility is maximized is the last row where MU is higher than the marginal cost.  Let's say that the tickets in the example chart cost $3 each. In this case, utility is maximized when the consumer buys 4 tickets. The next ticket after this has an MU of $2, which is less than the marginal cost of $3. Note that utility isn't necessarily maximized when the MU starts to become negative. It's possible for goods to give some benefit to the consumer without being...

TL;DR in English: Assign columns for quantity, total utility, and marginal utility. Look for a trend of diminishing returns. Determine Maximum Utility. Use the chart data to find additional information.

The basic MLA citation starts with the name of the author. In the case of a song, if you're referencing a particular recording, the performer is the author.  The performer could be a single individual or a band. If you're using the name of a single person, use "last name, first name" format. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé. If you're citing a piece of sheet music rather than a recording, the first name in your MLA citation should be the composer or songwriter of the piece of music.  If there are multiple writers, list them all in the order they appear in the copyright information for the song. If the song has lyrics, there may be both a composer and a lyricist. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. The name of the song you've referenced is the next piece of information in your MLA citation, whether you're citing a recording or a piece of music. Enclose it in quotation marks. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Following the song title, provide the title of the album for recordings, along with the record company and the year the album was released. For sheet music, provide the title of the book in which the music appears, the name of the company that published the sheet music, and the year it was published. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Lemonade, Parkwood Entertainment, 2016. If you're citing a piece of sheet music, this is as simple as adding the words "sheet music" to the end of your citation. For recordings, list the format you accessed specifically. If you accessed the music online, include the date you accessed it. For example: Knowles-Carter, Beyoncé and James Blake. "Freedom." Lemonade, Parkwood Entertainment, 2016. Online, www.beyonce.com/album/lemonade-visual-album/, accessed January 9, 2017. Whenever you mention the song in your paper, you'll need a parenthetical citation to direct your readers to the full citation in your "Works Cited" at the end of your paper.  Use the name you used in your full citation. Just use...

TL;DR in English: Use the name of the performer to cite recordings. Use the name of the composer for compositions. Provide the name of the song. Include publication or recording information. List the format and method of access. Provide the name of the artist or composer for in-text citations.

Some foods can contribute to body odor, so it is worthwhile to think about what you eat and consider reducing or eliminating foods that may be making your situation worse. Think about how often you include the following foods in your diet.   Spicy foods. Foods that are spicy may significantly raise your body temperature and make you sweat more than usual.  Meat and fish. A study published in Chemical Senses found that men who abstained from meat for 2 weeks smelled better to the opposite sex than men who did not abstain. Fish can also cause body odor to smell more for some people.  Sulfurous foods. Some foods contain higher amounts of sulfur than other foods, which contribute to body odor. Limit your intake of eggs, cheese, onions, garlic, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, and cauliflower.   Alcohol. When you drink alcoholic beverages, the unpleasant smell of the alcohol may linger on your skin and breath.   Caffeine. Drinking too much coffee or other caffeinated beverages (cola, tea, etc.) may cause you to sweat more than usual. This process may be difficult, especially if some of your favorite foods and beverages seem to be contributing to your body odor. But remember your reasons for reducing or eliminating these items and go slowly. Try reducing or eliminating one item per week until you have made the necessary adjustments. Chew on parsley after dinner, eat oranges or apples between meals, drink water with lemon throughout the day, sip herbal tea instead of your usual afternoon coffee, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your morning oatmeal.

TL;DR in English: Evaluate your diet. Reduce or eliminate the foods that you identify as potential contributors to your body odor. Incorporate more foods and beverages into your diet that help to make you smell nice.

Also, wear long sleeves and pants that you don't mind messing up. These clothes will help protect you from the chemicals you'll be using. The pool needs to be circulating to mix the shock in. It's best to shock the pool at dusk. This will prevent the sun's UV rays from affecting the chlorine or other chemical and ensures that the majority of the chemical is available to shock the pool. Fill the bucket up two-thirds of the way with water. Add 1 pound (0.45 kg) of pool shock to the water, then stir it to mix it in. Go slowly so you don't splash the chemical on yourself.  Always be careful with this chemical, as it could burn your skin. Only mix 1 pound (0.45 kg) at a time. If you need more, do it a single bucket at a time. Never put the chemical in first. You risk splashing it out on yourself when you add the water. Whether you're using a liquid product or one you need to mix bucket-by-bucket, add it by walking around your pool and pouring it in at different places. Pour slowly so you don't splash yourself with the chemical. Make sure you don't get it on your skin. If you do, wash it off immediately, then check the back of the bottle to see if they recommend calling poison control. Usually, you need to wait at least 8 hours to swim, so read the bottle carefully. However, if you're using a non-chlorine shock, you may only need to wait 15 minutes before swimming. Swimming in water with too much chlorine is very dangerous. Wait until the water reads 3 ppm or less when you test it using a DPD kit.

TL;DR in English: Put on safety goggles and gloves and turn your pool on. Dissolve the product in a 5 US gal (19 L) if it is granular. Pour the shock into the pool slowly, moving around the pool as you do. Read the directions on the bottle to see how long to wait before swimming.

Jinx happens when two people say the same word or phrase at the same time. For instance, if you and a friend say "Woah" or "That's awesome!" at the same time, it would be considered a jinx. Once a word is said at the same time, the first person to say "jinx" starts the game. If you say "jinx," the other person is not allowed to talk for the rest of the game. If the other person says "jinx" first, you are not allowed to talk for the rest of the game. The game ends when the person who originally said "jinx" says the other person's name or when the jinxed person speaks, losing the game. If the person who is jinxed speaks during the game, that person owes the person who did the jinxing a drink, usually a Coke.

TL;DR in English: Know the basics. Initiate the game. Know what happens during the game. End the game. Know the consequences of the game.

If you're using a gas grill, turn the burners to high. To heat a charcoal grill, fill a chimney with briquettes and light them. Dump the briquettes in the bottom grill grate once they become hot and lightly covered with ash. Then, set the top grill grate on the grill. If you use a charcoal grill, the chorizo links will get an extra-smoky flavor. Arrange the chorizo links so they're at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. This will allow air to circulate between them and they'll cook evenly. Put the lid on the grill to keep your grill hot. If you'd like to serve more people, double or triple the recipe. Use tongs to turn the chorizo about every 5 minutes so they brown on all sides. Once you've grilled them for 30 minutes, insert an instant-read meat thermometer into a link. Remove the chorizo links once they reach 160 °F (71 °C). If the links aren't fully cooked, check them again after 5 minutes. Use the tongs to take the links off of the grill and set them on a cutting board or serving plate. Cover them loosely with aluminum foil and leave them for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute within the meat. Then, serve the chorizo in a bun as a sandwich or slice the links to serve them with grilled vegetables. Refrigerate leftover chorizo links for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

If you see it, buy it (and, optionally, trim the fat when you get it home) and skip ahead to cook it.  It will typically come with a seasoning packet, which is typically very good, so all you'll need to add is vegetables!  If you don't, and don't want to wait for St. Patrick's Day (or whenever, if at all, it may be "in season" locally), buy raw material to make your own.  This section is usually not sold in supermarkets but it is more tender. Choose a large brisket, but keep in mind how big your roasting pan and pot are. Briskets can weigh up to 18 lbs. (8kg). However, most people cook a brisket between 6 and 10 lbs. (2.7 to 1.5kg). It is good to have a little fat on the side, but large amounts of fat will turn to gelatin in the cooking process. Excess fatty tissue will be soft and flakes off easily when cooked - much less unappealing than typical with beef.

TL;DR in English: A fresh cut of already-corned beef, typically brisket, is most practical if available. Peruse your local butcher's shop or supermarket for brisket or navel. Choose "navel," if you have access to a good butcher who can prepare it especially for you. Select a whole brisket, sometimes called a "packer brisket" at the store. Trim the excess fat from your brisket.

and avoid secondhand smoke.  Breathing in smoke from tobacco products seriously damages your lungs and inhibits their ability to efficiently introduce oxygen to your bloodstream.  If you smoke and have low oxygen saturation levels, quitting is the first and perhaps most vital step you can take to deal with the condition.  Seek out whatever help you need to quit. If you are on supplemental oxygen, smoking is also a severe fire hazard.  Concentrated oxygen is extremely flammable, and many people have been seriously or even fatally burned as a result of smoking while using supplemental oxygen. Oxygen levels in the surrounding atmosphere have an impact on your oxygen saturation; people who live in higher elevations typically have lower saturation levels, for example.  The more oxygen and less “other stuff” — like dust, particulates, smoke, and so on — that circulates in the air you breathe, the better for your oxygen saturation.  If you live in an area with fresh air, open a window or go outside.  Keep plants in the house to boost oxygen levels.  Clean and dust regularly.  Invest in air cleaners if desired. Don’t expect major increases in oxygen saturation this way; use it in coordination with other changes. If you have a body mass index (BMI) that is above recommended levels, the excess weight you carry likely causes you to breathe with more difficulty and less efficiency.  Lower BMI levels have been shown to correlate with higher oxygen saturation levels. Also, even if your oxygen saturation were to remain the same, losing weight makes it easier for you to utilize the oxygen in your body.  Compare it to how an unloaded car uses fuel more efficiently. Aerobic exercise in itself does not necessarily increase oxygen saturation, but it will increase your ability to utilize the oxygen you do have more efficiently.  Exercise that helps you lose excess weight is more likely to have a positive impact on actual oxygen saturation levels. If you have COPD or another condition that impacts your pulmonary or cardiovascular...

TL;DR in English: Quit smoking Breathe fresher air. Lose excess weight if needed. Exercise sensibly. Consume more water. Try sitting up instead of lying down. Accept the inevitable variations in oxygen saturation levels.

Start doing the activity and after you’ve been at it a while, gauge how you feel. If you’re enjoying yourself and feel calm, you are probably pursuing a hobby. If you feel almost upset, or at least a bit tense or focused, you’re working on a passion.  This may seem crazy, but passions tend to cause you a bit of suffering. You care a lot about it, so pursuing a passion is not usually a calming experience. Hobbies are enjoyable and pleasant, so you should feel pretty at peace when you’re engaging in a hobby. For example, head out to your woodshop and start building something. If you are in deep concentration and feeling on edge, you’re passionate about woodworking. Otherwise, you’d feel relaxed. Do the activity a little more frequently than you usually would. Pay attention to whether you are working hard to get better at it or if you are simply doing it for the enjoyment you get in the moment. You work harder on passions than on hobbies.  You work to be the best at a passion, but you are satisfied with having fun with a hobby. For example, if you are always cooking new recipes that challenge you, it’s a passion. If you like to cook chili and cinnamon rolls repeatedly, that’s more of a hobby. Make a list of values you have about life, society, or your faith or belief system. Then make a list of pursuits that you think might be passions. If any of the activities line up with values you hold, those are passions.  This takes some abstract thinking, so give yourself time to look over the lists. For example, you might list hiking, singing, and gaming as hobbies. You might list being adventurous, staying healthy, admiring beauty, and unplugging from technology as values. As you can see, hiking aligns with those values, so it’s a passion.

TL;DR in English: Ask yourself if the activity is relaxing or intense. Determine if you are trying to improve at the activity. Question if the activity is related to your values and beliefs.

Once you’ve bleached your roots and they’re the right lightness, you’re ready to apply a demi or semi-permanent dye. In other words, your roots may still be orange, but another application of bleach would make them much lighter than the rest of your hair. Buy a hair dye that is lighter than your hair. For example, if your hair is a dark blonde and you don’t want it any darker, buy a shade of hair dye in a platinum blonde. Because the hair dye will layer over your dark blonde, applying a matching shade of dark blonde hair dye will darken it up. A lighter shade of blonde will keep your hair light and bright, but help mask the orange. Make sure that you evenly coat your roots so that all orange and yellow sections are saturated. Because the demi-permanent color doesn’t have bleach, it’s not a big deal if it touches the rest of your hair, but try to keep it only on your roots. Leave on for the amount of time specified on the package. Check your roots before rinsing¬– if you can still see hints of orange or yellow, you can keep the dye on for a bit longer. The bleach should have gotten your orange roots down to the desired lightness, the toner should have removed some of the brassiness, and the demi-permanent hair color should have masked any remaining bits of orange. It can be really hard to bleach your hair on your own, so this process may take some practice. With a little bit of experimentation, you won’t even break a sweat at the sight of bright orange roots.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a hair dye. Follow the instructions on the package. Rinse your hair.

This pattern is a simple and versatile style. You can find different variations of outlines that range in width and length. Simply print out the one you prefer and make sure that it is the classic tie pattern and has a diamond cut at the bottom. If you're using a fabric other than silk, you should preshrink it by washing and drying it before you iron. This will ensure the fabric doesn't shrink if you have the tie steamed or washed. If the interfacing has not been preshrunk, preshrink it by soaking it in hot water for 10 minutes, then letting it dry and running an iron over it.

TL;DR in English:


Prepare beforehand. Make a good impression with your introduction. Stay upbeat but don't joke around. Don't share personal information. Take a few notes for important information. Ask questions when given an opportunity. Ask about the next step. Send a thank you note for important jobs. Follow through if the company is slow getting back to you.

Use dark splashes of color on wall sections if the majority of your walls are kept white.     Paint walls bright colors such as burgundy, green or chocolate brown and complement those colors with lighter furnishings or light trim.    For example, paint the living room area brown and your bedroom or sleeping area light blue. You can utilize color with your furnishings, accessories and carpets as well as your walls. Select throw rugs that contrast with your carpet or walls. For example, a bright red rug against a white or beige floor will really get attention. A dark set of curtains or drapes against a light wall can create a beautiful, well put together effect. Not only will mirrors make your basement apartment look bigger, they will reflect the colors you have in your place.

TL;DR in English: Mix light and bright colors on your basement apartment walls. Choose different paint colors to separate your living spaces. Take advantage of color, texture and patterns in other places. Utilize drapes and window treatments. Include mirrors.

Using a towel or oven mitt, take the bowl out of the microwave. Use a slotted spoon to add the eggs one by one. Make sure each is covered completely by the water. Don't drop the eggs directly into the water. Not only can they break when they hit the bottom, but they can also splash boiling-hot water upward. Once all the eggs are added, cover the bowl with a lid or a plate. Let it sit — the eggs will cook in the heat of the near-boiling water. Your cooking time will vary depending on how hard you want your eggs. In general, you should expect your eggs to take slightly more time than they would on the stove. This is because they did not have a chance to cook while the water was heating up.   If you like your eggs soft-boiled, let them sit for 10 minutes or less. The yolk should still be somewhat runny.  If you like your eggs medium-boiled, let them sit for about 15 minutes. The yolk should be semi-soft and the whites should be quite firm.  If you like your eggs hard-boiled, let them sit for 20 minutes or more. The white and yolk should be completely firm without being an unappealing grey-green color.

TL;DR in English: Remove the bowl and carefully add the eggs. Cover the bowl and let sit.

Working in the psychiatric-mental health field as an RN translates to clinical practice, of which you will need 2000 hours should you desire to get certified as a psychiatric-mental health nurse. Look for jobs in this field to secure a position and get the experience you need. You can ask for a psychiatric rotation at a hospital if that's where you work, volunteer in a community program, or work as a psychiatric aide. Many employers will provide tuition reimbursement or assistance if you pursue an ADN, BSN, MSN, or DNP. Check with your employer to find out if this is something they offer. Certification is not required to work in the psychiatric-mental health field, but it can be useful for finding a job and could mean higher salaries. You'll need an RN license, two years' experience working as an RN, 2000 hours of clinical practice in the psychiatric-mental health field within three years, and 30 hours of continuing education in the psychiatric-mental health field within three years. Certification is administered by American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurses must be recertified every five years. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) requires professional development plus either 1000 hours of practice as a psychiatric-mental health nurse or passage of the certification exam. Professional development includes continuing education, academic credits, presentations or publication/research, professional service, or teaching hours (preceptorship).

TL;DR in English: Work in the mental health field as an RN. Get board-certified as a psychiatric-mental health nurse. Maintain your certification.

It takes time to get over the loss of a relationship. Your ex was a significant part of your life, even if you didn’t see them in person every day, and it may take a while to get used to life without them. Let yourself feel sad, and go easy on yourself if you’re feeling less focused or productive than usual.  Don't rush the grieving process. If you're worried about sitting around being downtrodden, pick a day on the calendar as your "deadline." Get out all the sadness or frustration, and choose to "move on" after this date. Try to identify one thing every day that makes you feel happy. It could be a small bird landing on your windowsill, or someone giving you a compliment. Consider writing these down in your journal — a collection of these may help lead you toward healing. It’s common to feel lonely and isolated after ending a long-distance relationship. Reach out to your loved ones for emotional support and a sympathetic ear. Your friends and family can help build up your self-esteem and take your mind off your ex.  You can ask a friend, “I’m having trouble letting go of my relationship. I know you have been through this before. How did you get over the loss of your long-distance relationship?” Or you might find that you just want to spend time with people you enjoy and who make you happy and not discuss your ex. Remember that it's your choice. Breakups have been a source of artistic inspiration for thousands of years. You don’t have to be a professional artist to appreciate the benefits of venting your feelings creatively. Writing, drawing, dance, and other forms of expression can help you channel your emotions constructively, and you might even pick up a new hobby along the way. If you find yourself feeling guilty about the breakup or wondering if you did the right thing, revisit your reasons for ending the relationship in the first place. After the relationship is over, it’s easy to remember only the good times. Remind yourself that, while getting over your ex will be hard for a while, you made the right...

TL;DR in English: Give yourself time to grieve. Lean on family and friends for support. Find creative ways to let your feelings out. Remind yourself why breaking up was necessary.

Buy a charcoal mask from a well-known skincare or makeup brand. Look for charcoal masks that contain activated charcoal, soothing agents (such as aloe vera), and essential oils that can calm the skin. If you choose to make your own homemade charcoal mask, avoid using superglue. Superglue contains ingredients that can cause the mask to harden, which will damage your skin when you remove it. Whether you're mixing your charcoal mask or purchasing a mask mixture, check your skin for allergic reactions or irritation before you apply it to your face. Apply a little of the mask onto your cheek or the underside of your wrist. Wait 10 minutes and check for signs of irritation. Signs of allergy or irritation include redness, swelling, hives, or itchiness. If you're concerned that your hair might swing into your face while you have the mask on, use a hair tie to pull it back. This will prevent your hair from sticking to the charcoal mask. Use your favorite gentle cleanser to wash your skin. Washing your face removes dirt and oil on your skin to prepare it for the mask. To open your pores, you should also apply a mild exfoliant and rinse it off before you apply the mask.

TL;DR in English: Select a high-quality charcoal mask. Test your skin for a reaction. Tie your hair back, if necessary. Cleanse and exfoliate your face before you use the mask.

Follow the advice under Preparing for the Interview thoroughly. The more work you do beforehand, the more confident you'll be. Don't leave everything to the morning before if you want to make a good impression.  The advice under the Preparing section includes information on everything from doing research days in advance, to calming your nerves a few minutes before the interview. This section covers the interview itself, starting with introducing yourself and ending with how to follow up afterwards. Greet them confidently, without mumbling, and make eye contact. Shake their hand firmly but don't crush it, unless you live in an area where a different greeting is more common between business contacts. Consider waiting while standing up in the few minutes before the interviewer shows up. It's easier to make a good impression when you're not struggling out of a comfy chair. This won't make or break a job, so feel free to sit down if your knees are shaking or your legs need the rest. You should never appear sad or grim. Try to turn every question into a positive, even ones that touch on depressing subjects such as losing your last job. It's great if you and the interviewer are getting along, but don't go too far and start chatting instead of answering questions.   When discussing losing a job, use comments such as "I'm glad of the experience I got there." or "And now I'm free to apply to great companies like this one." Don't crack jokes during an interview. It's hard to predict how a stranger will react to your humor. You should focus on the questions you are asked and how they relate to the job you're applying for. Be especially cautious about sharing potentially controversial information such as religious beliefs or hobbies.  Prepare responses beforehand in case you are asked personal questions. Try deflecting them with responses such as "My (health / family situation / hobby) will not affect my ability to perform this job." or "I have a rich (background / set of life experiences / world view) that adds a lot to...

You may struggle to feel laid back if you're overcommitted. Prioritizing what truly matters to you can help you simplify your life. This will reduce stress and may result in you having a more relaxed, laid back approach to life.  Consider how you spend most of your time. Try writing a list of everything you do during the course of a day and roughly how much time that all takes up. How much time are you spending doing what you want? Compare that to how much time you spend on errands, events, and other tasks you feel you have to do.  Is there anything you could stand to do less? Are there any events or activities you pack into your life that aren't particularly fulfilling or personally important to you?  It's perfectly okay to work at a pace that seems comfortable and reasonable for you. You may think you have to put in overtime hours each week to make more money, but are you really getting to enjoy that money? Try to spend your time more wisely, giving yourself space to rest and relax. Many people who consider themselves high-strung or overstressed have trouble saying "No." It's important to remember that just because you can do something does not mean you have to do something. An important step to becoming laid back is accepting that it's okay to tell someone "No."  It's very difficult to be laid back if you have no time for yourself. Many people feel obligated to say yes when a friend asks a favor or when an organization needs volunteers. There's nothing wrong with wanting to help out, but before agreeing to something pause and ask yourself if you really have time. If you're already suffer from a lack of downtime, sometimes it's okay to give yourself some needed rest and relaxation.  You'll actually find it's easier to accomplish things if you commit yourself to less. Needlessly packing your schedule means your energy will be spread out across 10 different tasks. Instead, pick one or two tasks to focus on and do a really good job. The pressure to be perceived as successful often translates to feeling a need...

TL;DR in English: Prioritize what's important. Learn to say no. Enjoy small pleasures. Let go of your fear of missing out.

Wash several soft, red or pink guavas. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. While you can leave the peel on, it will make the juice thicker and grittier. Use a sharp knife to carefully chop the guavas so you get 3 cups (495 g). Put the chopped guavas into a blender or food processor. Blitz the guavas until they're smooth and pulpy. Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and transfer the guava mixture into it. Stir the mixture so it passes through the strainer. You can discard the seeds that are left in the strainer. Transfer the strained guava juice to a cocktail shaker. Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 3 tablespoons (37.5 g) of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of fresh mint. Put the lid on the shaker and shake it for 10 to 20 seconds. This will combine the pulp with the seasonings. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you could just whisk the ingredients together in a bowl or measuring jug. Put a handful of ice cubes into 2 serving glasses. Pour half of the guava mixture into each glass. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold, filtered water into each glass. Stir the drinks so the guava and water combine. Serve the drinks right away. If you like thicker guava juice, just use less filtered water.

TL;DR in English: Wash, peel, and chop the guavas. Blend and strain the guava. Shake the pulp with the seasonings. Stir in water and serve the drinks over ice.

To keep your feet from smelling, practice good foot hygiene. Wash your feet every day with warm water and antibacterial soap. This removes dirt, sweat, and odor causing bacteria. Make sure to take special care to wash your feet when taking a bath or shower. Many times people forget to wash their feet, or do it quickly. Your feet need as much, if not more, attention as the rest of your body.  Wash between your toes and around the nail beds. These are places where bacteria can grow. If your feet smell, try washing your feet multiple times a day. Once in the morning, once at night, and once after you work out or get extra sweaty. Getting rid of the dead skin can help reduce the smell. Scrub your feet at home with an exfoliating scrub or a pumice stone, or treat yourself to a pedicure.  Also keep your toenails clean and trimmed to reduce bacteria. Moisturize your feet with lotion to keep them soft and healthy. Try lotions with fragrances like lavender, peppermint, or tea tree oil to help combat odors. Foot odor is caused by bacteria, which breed and thrive in moist areas. As you wear sweaty, damp socks and shoes, bacteria grow and eventually start clinging to the feet and causing odor. By keeping your feet dry, you remove the moisture where the bacteria would live.  Dry your feet off really well after you shower. Make sure to get all of your feet, including the area between the toes. Wipe between your toes with rubbing alcohol after drying them. The rubbing alcohol helps dry out the skin between the toes. Don't use alcohol if you have open sores, cracked skin, or dry feet. When you can, wear socks with your shoes. Socks absorb moisture, so when you skip them, the sweat transfers to your shoes or gets trapped between your toes. When you wear boots and sneakers, always wear socks. Socks don't work well with pumps or ballet flats. Buy the small no-show socks designed to be hidden when worn with dress shoes. These socks can be purchased at major retailers. The socks you wear can make a difference in the smell of your...

TL;DR in English: Bathe your feet daily. Exfoliate your feet. Keep your feet dry. Wear socks. Wear the right socks. Use antiperspirant on your feet.

Char cloth won't burn hot enough to light a log all by itself. Just like any fire, you'll need tinder (dry grass, bark shavings, newspaper), kindling (twigs and small branches), and of course the logs themselves. Char cloth makes it easy to start this chain and light the tinder. Char cloth is most useful during damp weather, when tinder is more difficult to light. . Find a fire pit or a large dirt area cleared of all vegetation. Avoid areas with overhanging branches. Stack your kindling, then the wood on top of it, allowing plenty of room for oxygen. Here are a couple straightforward methods:  For cooking: Arrange a "teepee" of vertical kindling, then a larger teepee of firewood around it. For a long-lasting fire: Lay the kindling criss-cross, then criss-cross the firewood over the kindling. Place one square of char cloth on top of a bundle of tinder. Be ready to pick up the tinder and shove it underneath the kindling once it's alight. You can light char cloth with a flint and steel or other portable sparking device (including a lighter that's run out of fluid). As soon as a spark lands on it and forms a glowing red patch, you're good to go. There are two common ways to aim the spark:  Hold the flint directly over the cloth, angled downward. Run the steel downward across the flint so sparks land on the cloth.  Or hold the cloth against a sharp edge of the flint. Run the steel along this edge. Blow on the glowing char cloth to get the heat to spread across it. Pick up the tinder bundle and gently push the sides up and over the cloth, until they start burning. As soon as the tinder starts burning, place it and the char cloth underneath the kindling. The fire should now spread to the kindling, then the wood.

TL;DR in English: Gather firewood, kindling, and tinder. Build a Fire Lay the cloth on your tinder. Light the char cloth. Spread the flame. Place the tinder under the kindling.

With adults, it is advised that you do not feed the bird at all, especially if you are uncertain of its species or its dietary requirements. Furthermore, if injured, it may not be able to handle solid foods. If you must feed the bird and are absolutely positive that it can handle solid foods, be sure to locate the appropriate food for their species. Consult a vet or wild bird center for advice.  Insect eaters can be fed mealworms or small crickets but not thick worms (like earthworms) or ants. Seed eaters can be fed a fortified mix, such as a fortified cockatiel seed mix. Fruit eaters can be fed berries or diced fruits. Be sure to cut it up for them. Nestlings require soft foods. In the wild, chicks would be fed regurgitated foods by their parent. You can replicate this by feeding the bird wet canned dog or cat food. You can also soak dry dog or cat food in water to make it mushy.  Baby bird formula may be available at your local pet store. Do not feed your chick birdseed, sugar water, or bread. These are extremely unhealthy for baby birds and may result in the chick becoming malnourished. Nestlings will need to be fed with a syringe. Feeding syringes can be found at your local pet store or at a drug store in the baby section.  Fill the syringe with wet canned dog, cat, or jars of mushy baby food (preferably fruit). Make sure not to shove the eye dropper down the chick's throat. It could choke them. If you cannot find a feeding syringe, you can also use a toothpick. Skewer the food on the pick. Be careful not to stab the chick as you feed it. Baby birds will eat every fifteen to twenty minutes from dawn to dusk. When hungry, they should call for you with an open mouth. Do not feed them until they exhibit this behavior. At night, the baby birds may not call for food; this is normal. That said, if you have a bird under a week old, it may call for food every few hours in the night. You may feed the bird again if this happens.  The bird’s crop (or bottom of their throat) may expand as they eat. This is normal. As...

If you'd like your sand dollars to be whiter, or you're having trouble cleaning them with water alone, you may consider using bleach. Mix equal amounts of bleach and water. and gently place your sand dollars into the solution.  If you're cleaning a number of sand dollars, fill a baking tray with the bleach-and-water solution. This will allow you to spread a number of sand dollars evenly over a broad surface. Make sure that there's enough solution in the tray to cover the entire sand dollar. You can also use a bowl, a bucket, or a Tupperware container. If you're only cleaning one sand dollar, find a small bowl, lid, or other container. You won't need much bleach to get the intended effect. Be careful not to soak the sand dollars in bleach for too long: the shell will begin to soften and disintegrate if it's left in too strong of a solution. If you want to soak the shells for a longer period, reduce the bleach concentration. Be careful when handling bleach. Don't get bleach in your eyes, and don't swallow the solution. Wash your hands with soap after any contact with bleach. Move the sand dollars from the bleach solution into a bowl or tray of fresh water.  The bleach may continue to disintegrate the shell even after you've removed the sand dollar from the solution. Rinse the bleached shell thoroughly in fresh water to neutralize the bleach solution and remove any remaining dirt. When you're sure that the sand dollar is clean, leave it out to dry. Within a few hours it should be ready to decorate, display, or store as a keepsake. Sand dollars will harden over time, but you should continue to handle them carefully. This may come in handy if you plan to use if for craft projects, or if you want to display it without worrying about breaking it.  Mix together equal portions of water and white craft glue. Use a sponge brush or a paintbrush to completely cover the sand dollar with the mixture. Let the shell dry, and the glue solution will harden like a glaze. Sand dollars will harden naturally, over time, the drier...

TL;DR in English: Soak the sand dollars in a bleach solution. Rinse after bleaching. Consider hardening the sand dollar with glue.

If you have access to a dishwasher, you can simply place your stainless steel water bottle in the dishwasher along with the rest of your dishes when you’re ready to wash a load.  Place the bottle in the dishwasher upside down with its lid off.  Place any detachable parts – a lid or straw, for instance – in the dishwasher as well.  Add an appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent, close the dishwasher and run a regular cycle. Before placing your stainless steel water bottle in the dishwasher, check it for confirmation that it is dishwasher safe.  For instance, the bottom of the bottle might read, “Dishwasher safe.”  Bottles that are painted or insulated are probably not dishwasher safe. Fill the stainless steel water bottle to about 1/5 of its capacity with white vinegar.  Fill it the rest of the way with water.  Let the water bottle sit overnight.  In the morning, pour the vinegar/water mix out.  Rinse the bottle thoroughly with water, then turn it upside down in your dishrack to air dry. Add one teaspoon of bleach and one teaspoon of baking soda to your water bottle.  Fill it the rest of the way with water.  Let the water bottle sit overnight.  Empty the contents the next day, then rinse it thoroughly with water.  Turn it upside down to let it air dry. This cleaning method is effective for stainless steel water bottles that have developed a stench.

TL;DR in English: Place your water bottle in the dishwasher. Use vinegar to clean the water bottle. Use baking soda and bleach to clean the bottle.

Attic bedrooms don’t tend to have many storage cupboards or wardrobes, so it can be really useful to add hidden storage. This gives you places to put all your things and helps to prevent the room from looking cluttered. Consider installing a window bench that doubles as drawer space, or look for a bed frame with drawer space built underneath, or install a free-standing wardrobe. If you are on a budget, consider purchasing kit-set furniture to reduce the cost. Adding a chair to your room can help to create a separate space within the room. Utilise the chair as a reading nook, a place to rest clothes, or as a feature piece. Choose a chair that is comfortable and expresses your own personal style. Armchairs are great for reading, simple wooden chairs are good for hanging clothes, and peacock chairs are great feature pieces. The vertical poles on canopy beds help to accentuate the height of the room. Choose a canopy bed with soft, draping fabric to help promote a calm and relaxing ambience. Place the bed in the highest part of the attic room to maximise the ambient and lengthening effects of the  bed. Purchase a canopy bed from a furniture store or online. The human eye tends to find symmetry calming and aesthetically pleasing. Place matching bedside tables on either side of the bed to create this effect. These are also useful for storage and displaying small ornaments or plants. Opt for bedside tables that match the rest of your furniture. For example, if your headboard is made of dark wood, choose bedside tables that are also made of dark wood. Aim to have your bedside tables at a similar height to your bed. This looks nice and makes it easier to reach the items on the tables. If your attic only has one or two windows, arrange your furniture so that the natural light will rest where you spend the most time. Most likely, this will be your bed; however, you could place a desk or chair in front of the window to catch the light instead. Natural light helps to give your room a warm, cosy, and fresh atmosphere. Watch...

TL;DR in English: Add storage solutions to help make the room functional. Place a chair in the room to create a cosy getaway spot. Try a canopy bed if you have high ceilings. Add bedside tables to make your room look symmetrical. Place your most used furniture in sunny spots.

The most important thing you can do as you raise your introverted teen is to accept them as they are. Don’t try to make them become extroverts or get them to be more outgoing. Accept their personality for what it is. This will help them develop a better sense of self.  It is also important to validate your teen, so make sure that you tell your teen that it is normal to be introverted. For example, you might say something like, “Being an introvert is totally normal. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert.” According to scientific studies, extroverts and introverts have different brain chemistries, which means their brains are hardwired differently. This means they are naturally and biologically made to be an introvert. People may use negative or unflattering words to describe your child. You can rephrase these descriptions into something positive. This helps your child refrain from adopting negative labels and descriptions for themselves and instead create a healthy, positive image.  You should also use positive words in your own mind when thinking about your child. For example, if someone says your child is “standoffish,” you can say “reserved” or “careful.” If someone calls your child “timid,” you may say “quiet” or “contemplating.” Many times, introverted teens don’t feel like they have a voice or the ability to speak up. This means they may let people bully them or run over them. They also may not speak their mind when they do have an opinion. Teach your teen that their voice is important.  If your teen is being bullied, help them learn how to speak to a trusted adult or to address the issue.

An early symptom of an ingrown toenail is tender, red skin. However, you will see a marked increase in redness around the area if the toenail progresses to an infection. You may feel a warm to hot feeling around your toenail if it becomes infected. A throbbing pain may accompany the increase in temperature around your toenail as well. If the infection worsens or is left untreated, you may develop a fever. Look for pus under the skin near your nail. Pus is a sure sign of an infection. A bad odor may accompany an infected toenail that is secreting pus as well. An infected ingrown toenail may look as if red skin is surrounding a light colored area of skin (whitish in color). If you have an infection, then you will need to contact your doctor. Your doctor will be able to diagnose and treat the infection. Treatment depends on severity and can consist of soaking the feet in warm water, antibiotics, or removal of the ingrown toenail if the infection is severe.  Contact your doctor or podiatrist immediately if you have diabetes or AIDS, suffer from poor blood circulation, are on chemotherapy, or have a weakened immune system. Other reasons to see your doctor include persistent or chronic problems with ingrown toenails, if you have diabetes, a compromised immune system, or a condition affecting the nerves or the sensation in your feet, or if you have signs of infection, such as pus, redness, pain, or swelling.

TL;DR in English: Look for an increased redness around your toenail. Notice if your skin feels hot. Watch out for green or yellow pus. Contact your doctor.

On the left hand side under your contact information. The date should never be centered. Although there are different styles, and you can use the paragraph-indented approach, it is recommended that you use a block or semi-block style.

It is also intended to establish a cordial and professional relationship between the potential employer and the applicant for promotion, if a relationship does not already exist.  Address the reader in the most specific way possible, such “Dear Mr. Walters.” Avoid phrases like “To Whom It May Concern” unless you have no other information. Salutations can vary, depending on the purpose of the letter of application and the audience. They might include, “Dear,” “To whom it may concern,” or “To the committee.” Avoid being too informal. Don’t use informal salutations like “Hi,” “Hey,” or even “My Friend.”...

Good friends will be willing to support you on a consistent basis, through your high points and your low points. Your friends should offer to support you during any difficult emotional times and be there for you in a real, genuine way. They may also offer guidance and advice when you need it.  For example, if you're going through a rough break up, a good friend would check in on you daily and try to distract you by taking you out. Good friends offer advice, support, and guidance during difficult times, and only when you ask for it. They support your decisions, even if they don't agree. Good friendships also have a good balance of giving and taking, where you feel mutually supported. You should try to cultivate friendships where there is a balance of give and take, and where you do not feel you are giving or taking more than the other person.  Some people are givers; they'll do anything to help and support someone. Others are takers; they'll take someone else’s time and energy to fulfill their own needs. While natural givers may sound like the way to go, you should actually look for friends who can maintain a balance between both of these two extremes. Your friends should also encourage you to develop into the best version of yourself you can be. They should help you focus on how you can be yourself and achieve your goals. Your friends should act as your own personal cheer squad, where they proudly encourage you to go after what you want. For example, if you're trying to get into medical school, a good friend will act interested, encourage you, and help you prepare. They'll also celebrate when you do get in. Another key aspect of a good friendship is positive communication, where you can share your thoughts and feelings without limits. You should be able to be yourself around your friends and feel you can share your opinions with them. You should not feel you have to censor yourself or keep quiet about your thoughts around your friends.  You should feel comfortable being called out or challenged by your...

TL;DR in English: Make sure your friends offer emotional support and guidance. Determine if you have a good balance of give and take. Decide if your friends bring out the best in you. Determine if you can communicate effectively with your friends. Consider if you trust and respect your friends.

If you have an attorney, sit down together and review the contract to see if you are in breach. You will want to know if you did indeed violate the contract or if the other party is fabricating the claim. Be sure to be honest with your attorney about the situation, so that he or she can give you the best legal advice.  It is quite possible that you breached the contract on purpose. It may be cheaper to pay the damages for breaching the contract than fulfilling its original terms. If you breached on purpose your primary goal will be to reduce the amount of damages you have to pay under the contract. Although it’s possible that you only entered into an “oral contract,” those are fairly rare today. Most states have now passed laws which require all contracts to be in writing when the goods or services involved are worth $500 or more. Written contracts are always preferable because they allow you to detail how each party must uphold its duties and how both sides should respond if any disagreements or disputes arise. This includes any discussion of the contract in question or an official "demand letter" from the other party. A demand letter sent from the other party’s lawyer is simply a letter that outlines what they think your contractual obligation is. For instance, it could demand that you pay a specific amount for services already rendered.  Once you get a demand letter, the ball is in your court. It’s then up to you and your attorney to decide how to respond to it. Make sure that the demand letter, if you have received one, complies with state law. Many states require that a pre-lawsuit letter is sent, in order to increase the chance of out-of-court settlement. Although most demand letters sent out are legitimate, it’s always important to carefully review the signature and the contents. Never just assume you’re in business with someone if the name isn’t readily familiar.  There are scam artists who do send out such mail, in the hopes that you will accidentally provide critical personal or business information...

TL;DR in English: Review the contract. Review all correspondence from the other party. Decide whether the claim is part of a scam.

If you're using a computer, go to https://www.gmail.com in a web browser. If you're on a phone or tablet, open the Gmail app by tapping the white and red envelope icon on the home screen or in the app drawer. It's near the top-left side on a computer, and in a red circle at the bottom-right corner in the mobile app. This opens a new message. It's at the far-right edge of the "To" field. If you're using the mobile app, tap the down-arrow at that location first, then tap the BCC field.  BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. Adding addresses or labels to this field instead of To or CC ensures that recipients can't see the recipient list. BCC also ensures that if a recipient replies to the message, it will only be delivered to the sender (not the group). If you'd prefer to make it so recipients see the addresses of everyone on the list, skip this step, and then just enter the addresses into the "To" field. If you type an email address that Gmail recognizes, it will suggest a contact. Click or tap the contact to add their address to the field. Separate all other (non-contact) addresses with a comma.  If you created a group label, start typing the label name, then click the label name when it appears in the search results. If the message is mainly directed to one person but you want other people to receive a copy, type the main recipient's email address into the "To" field, then type the other addresses into the "CC" field (if you want the other addresses to be visible) or the "BCC" field (if you want to hide the other addresses).  It's at the bottom-left corner of the message on a computer, and near the top-right corner in the mobile app. This sends the message to everyone on the BCC list.

TL;DR in English: Open Gmail. Click or tap the Compose button. Click or tap BCC. Enter the recipients. Type the email subject and message into the provided blanks. Click the Send button.

Second-degree burns are more severe than first-degree burns because they extend past the epidermis and into the lower layer of skin (the dermis). This doesn't necessarily mean they need medical care. The burns will be a dark red and will produce blisters on the skin. They are more swollen and splotchy than first-degree, with more reddened skin, which may look wet or shiny. The burned area itself may look white or discolored.  If the burn is larger than 3 inches, treat as third-degree and seek medical attention immediately.  Common causes of second-degree burns including scalding, flame, contact with a very hot object, bad sunburn, chemical burns, and electrical burns. Burns can cause swelling, which could cause jewelry on the burned hand to become uncomfortably tight, cut off proper circulation, or dig into the skin. Remove any jewelry on the burned hand, such as rings or bracelets. Treatment for second-degree burns is almost the same as first degree burns. When the burn occurs, quickly but calmly get to a sink and put your hand or arm under the cold water for 15-20 minutes. This will help pull heat away from the skin and reduce inflammation. If blisters are present, do not pop them. They help the skin heal. Popping them can introduce infection and delay healing time. Don't apply butter or ice to the burn. Also, do not blow on the burn because it can increase your likelihood of infection. Because second-degree burns extend further into the skin, the potential for infection is greater. Apply an antibiotic cream to the burned area before bandaging it. Silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) is a popular antibiotic ointment for burns. It is often available over-the-counter without a prescription. Use a lot of the cream so that it will soak into the skin for a long time. If a blister does pop on its own or by accident, do not panic. Clean it with a mild soap and clean water. Apply an antibiotic ointment and cover the burn with a new bandage. Burn dressings should be changed daily to help prevent infection. Remove the old...

Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet plays a huge role in the health of your hair, so making sure your body is getting all the hair-friendly vitamins and nutrients it needs can help to prevent white hairs.  Make sure you are eating plenty of lean protein (hair is made from protein), fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Drink plenty of water for hydration. More specifically, make sure you are getting enough of the vitamin B12 and the mineral zinc. If you don't feel you are getting enough in your diet naturally. Also make sure you are getting adequate amounts of vitamins A, C and E and of minerals like copper, iron and folic acid. Biotin (sometimes called vitamin H) is another important vitamin for healthy, naturally-colored hair. It is found in foods like cucumbers, oats and almonds. Poor quality hair products are full of chemicals such as sulfates, phosphates, chlorine and ammonia which dry out the hair and weaken the roots, making you more prone to white hairs. Therefore, you should stick to hair products with as many natural ingredients as possible. Head massages help to stimulate blood flow to the scalp, which keeps hair growing healthily. If possible, massage a natural oil like almond or coconut oil into the scalp, as this helps to deeply moisturize the hair roots. . According to one study, smokers are four times as likely to have white or grey hairs as their non-smoking counterparts. Smoking also causes hair to look dull and brittle and make it more prone to falling out. Melancor is a tablet-based product which rejuvenates natural hair color by stimulating the production of melanin in the hair follicles. It can help restore color to grey hair, and also prevent new grey hairs from forming. It needs to be taken once a day and has no common side effects. It can be purchased online. Note that there is no scientific evidence that Melancor works. You can try this supplement, but be aware of any side effects you may experience and understand that you may not get the results you hope for.

TL;DR in English: Eat a hair-healthy diet. Avoid poor quality hair products. Give yourself regular head massages. Quit smoking Take Melancor.

The oil needs to be hot before you can add the onion and garlic. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes. Still, the onion and garlic often with a wooden spoon or spatula so that they don't burn. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to help break the beef up into smaller pieces, and flip the beef occasionally so that both sides cook. Pour the excess fat away; you can save this fat for another recipe, or you can throw it into the trash. Do not drain the beans before adding them; simply toss everything into the skillet. The liquid from the beans will help keep the chili moist and prevent it from becoming too dry. This can take as little as 30 to 40 minutes to as long as 2 hours. You can always serve the chili as it, but it will be much tastier with some cilantro, shredded cheese, or sour cream.

TL;DR in English: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and onion and cook until the onion softens. Add the ground beef and cook until the beef has browned. Add the beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, and salt. Simmer over low heat until the chili turns thick. Garnish the chili, if desired, then serve it.

Treat your maid of honor to brunch at a special restaurant that is significant to the 2 of you and ask her over a stack of pancakes or a few mimosas.

You don’t want the windowsills to get wet with the cleaning solution, especially if they are made of wood. Protect the windowsills by laying towels down over them. Make sure none of the windowsill is left exposed. Use four parts water and one-part white vinegar. Pour the water and vinegar in a bowl.
