To do a kettlebell squat, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and the kettlebell at your chest in a goblet grip. Then, slowly squat down until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Drive your hips and knees up to stand back into the starting position.  Keep the kettlebell in front of your chest throughout the exercise. Try to keep your back straight as you squat down. Kettlebell squats can help build your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. To do a kettlebell deadlift, start by standing with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width and your toes turned outward. Bend forward with a flat back, hinging with at the hips. Leaned over, contract your back muscles to hold the weight of the kettlebell. Your arms stay passive and extended. Slowly straighten your legs to standing and lift your back.  Squeeze your buttocks once you’re standing upright with the kettlebell. Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position to repeat. Kettlebell deadlifts will work your glutes and hamstrings. To do a reverse lunge with a kettlebell, start by standing up straight with a kettlebell racked so it’s resting on your forearm. Then, step backward with the leg that’s on the same side of your body as the kettlebell and touch the floor with your knee. Keeping the kettlebell racked, step back up into the starting position.  When you step back and drop onto your knee, your other leg should be bent at a 90-degree angle. Do several reps with the same leg and then switch to the opposite leg.

TL;DR in English: Do some kettlebell squats. Try kettlebell deadlifts. Do reverse lunges using a kettlebell.

Fireflies are attracted to long grasses and shrubbery. During the day they like to hide in the grass, and in the evening the like to perch on grass stems (especially the females). Allow the edges of your yard to grow long and allow the brush to build up.  Only let your yard accumulate brush around the edges. Beware, though, these areas can also attract ticks. As forests, meadows, and fields are developed into shopping malls and other building, fireflies have fewer places to lay their eggs. You can attract fireflies by planting pine trees near your home. The canopies created by pine trees block out light that can interfere with mating, and the soft needles that fall to the ground create a perfect place for firefly larvae to grow. around your home. Fireflies are attracted to pollen and nectar. You can encourage them to hang out in your yard by planting flowers. Select a variety of local flowers to entice fireflies to visit you. Certain species of fireflies like to lay their eggs in rotten logs. The larvae then feast on the slugs, snails, and worms that are found in this habitat. You can attract fireflies by storing firewood in your yard. Stack the wood loosely to allow proper air flow.  If fireflies do settle into a portion of your woodpile, try not to disturb that area. Keep the woodpile toward the edges of your yard. It may give off a smell or begin to look unsightly as it starts to rot. Avoid doing this if you live in an area prone to wildfires.

TL;DR in English: Let your grass grow. Plant pine trees, if they’re native. Plant flowers Store wood and allow it to rot.

Salt from your skin will corrode your razor blade, causing it to dull faster. Don't stop at simply rinsing the blade, give it a good scrubbing. Using an old toothbrush, simply scrub across the blade a few times to clean away any leftover skin and hair, before rinsing it in water again. The quickest way to wear a razor blade is to let it rust. When water causes the metal blade to oxidize, tiny particles of rust form on it. You may not be able to see them, but those particles corrode the blade, dulling it. Additionally, in hard water areas, letting the water dry onto the blade leaves behind scratchy crystals which prevent you getting a close shave.  Pat the razor dry on a towel to remove loose water droplets. Be sure you don't wipe it with the towel, because the blade will likely catch on the threads, dulling the blade.  Dip the razor into a dish of rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will cause any remaining water to evaporate when it hits the air. As an added bonus, it also sanitizes the blade. You will defeat the purpose of drying your razor if you then stick it back in the humid shower or next to the sink where it will be splashed with water. Store the razor in a dry location away from either possibility or keep it in a resealable plastic bag. You can even set it in a cup with leftover beads of silicon gel - the kind that come in those little square packages - in the bottom or store it in your freezer between uses.

TL;DR in English: Clean the razor after each use. Dry your razor thoroughly after each use. Store the razor in a dry place.

Eat, go to sleep, and do regular family activities according to a predictable schedule. Routines and rituals help establish a family identify, reduce stress, and create a stable, comfortable environment.  In addition to improving communication, regular family meetings can be a major part of your family routine. Try to practice leaving work at work whenever possible, and focus on your family when you're with them. You don’t have to do the same thing every birthday or holiday. For instance, you could go to a family member’s favorite restaurant or do their favorite activity on their birthday. You’d be sticking to a tradition, but the activities would be varied. Parents work and kids have after school activities, so it’s tough to have breakfast and dinner together every day. However, do your best to eat together as often as possible. Family meals are a key routine and can help you stay involved in each other’s lives. When someone gets home from work or practice late, sit down with them while they have dinner, even if you’ve already eaten. Spending time together and having a conversation is more important than eating at the same time. Regular activities could include bike rides, walks, or playing cards or board games. If possible, dedicate at least an afternoon or evening per week for a family activity. Keep it low-key, and focus on having fun together and enjoying each other’s company. Few people actually enjoy doing chores, but sharing household responsibilities can help everyone in your family take pride in your home. Try to make it as fun as possible, such as by playing music or having contests.  For instance, whoever finishes folding their laundry first might get to pick out the movie you’ll watch together. Divide chores up into age-appropriate categories. After dinner, your youngest could wipe the table, your oldest could fill the dishwasher, and you could put away leftovers.

TL;DR in English:


Ask questions. Show interest. Be engaging. Speak with class.

If you're mailing a letter of standard size weighing less than an ounce and addressed to a U.S. address (including an APO or FPO address), place one first-class stamp in the top-right corner of the letter. Stamps are available for purchase at any post office, online at USPS.com, and at various retail stores.  Stamps come with either standard or special designs. If you want to purchase a decorative or commemorative stamp, go to a post office and ask to see their selection. Stamps rise in price periodically. If you have old postage stamps, check usps.com to make sure the stamps you have will still cover the full cost of first-class postage. You may have to use more than one stamp. Letters that are heavy or oversized and letters that are being mailed overseas require extra postage to reach their destination. USPS.com displays all current postage rates.  If you have an accurate postage scale at home, you can weigh and measure your letter to determine how much postage you'll need to pay. Record the measurements, then check USPS.com for rates. Affix the appropriate postage to the top-right corner of your letter. If you don't have a scale, take your letter to a post office to have it weighed. The clerk will be able to calculate exactly how much postage you'll need.

TL;DR in English: Use a first-class stamp. Buy extra postage.

If you’ve discovered fleas or ticks indoors, it’s most likely that they’re still hiding on your family dog, cat, or other pet. Bathe your pets with a special shampoo that’s designed to kill fleas and ticks:  In a bathtub, laundry tub, or outside, rinse your pet to get his fur wet. Apply the shampoo and massage it thoroughly into his fur. Let the shampoo sit (check the bottle for the specific amount of time). Rinse the shampoo out of your pet’s fur. In case your pet has any ticks burrowed in his skin, it will be necessary to remove them immediately. If you don't feel comfortable, talk to your vet. To remove ticks:  Grab tweezers and gloves. Put on the gloves. Locate the tick and use the tweezers to squeeze the tick. Be sure to grasp near its head, as close to your pet’s skin as you can manage. Do not squeeze the tick near its belly. Hold on to the tick firmly with the tweezers and pull it straight out. Use the hottest water possible and high-soil settings to wash clothes, linens, bedding, towels, and even toys. Use the highest drier settings as well, to ensure that the washing and drying process kills any fleas, ticks, and larvae that might be hiding out. Don’t forget to wash pet bowls, water dishes, and anything that needs to be washed in the sink that could be housing adults or larvae. Once everything’s been picked up and put in the washing machine, thoroughly vacuum everywhere and be sure to get in all the nooks and crannies. When you’re finished, dispose of the vacuum bags immediately, as they can house living flea larvae. Use either an aerosol spray or dust that’s designed to kill fleas and ticks, such as Ultracide, Onslaught, Permethrin, or Bifen. You can also use other pyrethrin-based pesticides,  but make sure they contain an insect growth regulator that will prevent reproduction. Make sure all people and pets are out of the house, and wear protective gear like gloves and a mask.  Start away from the front of the house and work your way toward the door, focusing especially on areas where pets spend a...

TL;DR in English: Treat your pets. Remove ticks from your pet. Wash everything. Vacuum your entire house. Spray your home with insecticide. Apply a desiccant. Spray outside. Vacuum, dust, and mop the whole house. Repeat as necessary.

If your cat is suffering from bladder stones, time may be of the essence. Stones have been shown to grow to problematic sizes in as little as two weeks. Bladder stone growth may lead to severe pain, vomiting, and depression. If a blocked ureter is not diagnosed and treated quickly, the blocked kidney may become irreversibly damaged. Depending on the severity and location of your cat's bladder stones, your veterinarian may recommend something as simple as a change in diet, or a major surgical procedure.  Your vet may prescribe a special diet that will dissolve mineral deposits in your cat and alter its pH to prevent future deposits.  Your vet may flush your cat's bladder. This involves the use of a catheter to remove deposits and any residual sediment.  Your vet may perform a cystostomy, in which the bladder is surgically opened and the mineral deposits physically removed.  Your vet may recommend a perineal urethrotomy, in which the urethra is surgically widened. If your veterinarian recommends surgery as the best option to remove a severe bladder stone, there are several steps you may need to take to prepare it for surgery.  Have your cat fast before receiving anesthesia. Any time an animal is anesthetized, there is a risk that, if vomiting occurs, it may be inhaled into the lungs. The best way to prevent this is to keep your pet from eating any food prior to the scheduled procedure. Fast times may vary, depending on your cat's age and size, and the specific anesthesia being used on your cat. Consult with your veterinarian to determine how long your cat should fast prior to surgery.  Keep your cat hydrated. Unless your vet advises otherwise, you should be able to give your cat water overnight until the morning of the procedure.  If your cat requires daily medication, ask your veterinarian whether or not to administer those medications prior to surgery. If your cat has undergone surgery, your vet will provide you with the information you need to care for your cat after its surgery. This will probably include...

TL;DR in English: Act fast. Consider your options. Prepare your cat for surgery. Provide post-surgical care.

Your stance is highly important in maintaining your balance. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. This will allow you to move your arms freely without throwing yourself off balance. Make sure you don’t inadvertently move in towards the middle when the jumper joins. Your feet should stay still. Having a solid grip will allow you to move the ropes at speed without them slipping. Hold the rope with your thumb and forefinger and curl the rest of your fingers under the thumb. Your grip should be firm, not clenched. If you hold too tightly, this can hinder your movement. Decide which rope will start and begin to rotate. To ensure you and your partner begin rotating at the same time, one of you can say, “Ready, set, go.” The first rope can start on “set” and the second on “go.” Keep your elbows near your sides with your forearms extended. From the elbow, move your left arm clockwise towards the center of your body in a circle, and move your right arm counterclockwise towards the center in the circle. The circles should not overlap, but should just barely touch in the middle. Your hands should be opposite one another so that when your right arm is up high, your left arm is down low. The circles should span from about your chin to your waist.  It is important for the circles to be the same size. Oftentimes, beginners struggle with one arm and are more comfortable with the other. Work on consistently making the same circle with both arms, even though these circles move in different directions. If you are struggling to learn the movement, practice without a rope. Use pencils or sticks or anything that is similar to a jump rope’s handles. Practice the movement against a wall, tracing the circles on the wall. This will help you to get comfortable with the rotation without having to worry about the rope or your partner’s timing. This will be best accomplished by listening to the ropes. You are looking for a consistent sound. Try counting 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, and stay on beat. When you and...

TL;DR in English: Stand properly. Grip the ropes. Rotate the ropes. Find your rhythm. Have the jumper join. Adjust to the jumper. Incorporate Double Dutch rhymes.

Ask open ended questions to get him engaged in the conversation. Talk about absolutely anything that you’re comfortable with. This will get him talking to you and can show off some of your interests as well. Have a few in mind before you strike up a conversation in case there is any extended silence.  "What did you think about the game last week?" "What are your plans for the weekend?" "What did you think about the end of that new movie?" Pay attention to what they’re saying. Show interest in who they are and what they’re all about. If you bring up something that he likes, it’s likely that he’ll want to talk about it—to you—more. Don’t act as though you like something that you don’t. If you fake it, he’ll likely pick up on it and no guy wants to be faked out. Don’t be afraid to disagree, but stay open-minded to their opinions too. Don’t be a reporter and rattle off question after question. Joke with him and laugh at his jokes. Laughing at his jokes, even if they aren’t hilarious, will get his attention. When you’re happy and laughing, it will be hard for him not to catch on. Don’t swear or speak poorly of people. If he’s talking about something he really likes and cares about, swearing or speaking down on it would be an automatic flag telling him that he shouldn’t be interested in you.

Determine how large your egress window needs to be. Dig an oversized window well outside where you will add the window. Measure and mark your cut on the inside wall of your basement. Drill a pilot hole in the center of the bottom cutting line. Measure and mark the cut on the outside.

Now that you've developed goals, identified alternatives, and evaluated those alternatives, create a list of the strategies you've identified.  Consider your current situation and then start thinking about which goals might be most realistic.  Take your current net worth into account.  If your liabilities approach or outweigh your current net assets, you'll want to take steps to change that ratio. While you may opt to focus on developing your net assets, don't forget that paying off debt can be a great investment.  Interest charges mean that even paltry debts can become overwhelming over time.  Allocating some resources toward debt reduction now may prevent serious problems from developing later. Strive for a balanced approach toward short-, intermediate-, and long-term goals that will enable you to plan for a few months and a few years down the line.  Focus upon incremental growth.  By doing so you will create a road map that will take you toward your goals. Be realistic.  You won't be able to adopt all the great strategies you've evaluated at once, but selecting a balanced range of goals will help you meet the goals you do choose and grow toward a point when you can take on additional projects. You already know your net assets and liabilities from your analysis of your current net worth; set these into a framework that includes the decisions you've made.  Then hold yourself accountable for these decisions.  If you've committed to spending $80 less per month on coffee and placing that money in a savings account, list that in your budget. Goals such as obtaining a new job may not fit neatly into a budget, but should be listed in an easy-to-reference location as part of your working financial plan. You may be fully capable of making financial decisions, but a professional adviser has the advantage of emotional detachment from your financial situation.

TL;DR in English: Look at the big picture. Decide which goals you'll pursue now. Develop a budget that incorporates your financial planning goals. Consider hiring a professional financial adviser.

No matter how hungry you are at the end of your fast, you have to fight the urge to stuff yourself at your first opportunity. When you fast, your body adjusts to make up for the lack of food by slowing down the production of enzymes that help digestion.  If you gorge immediately after a fast, your body will be overwhelmed by food it can't process, leading to stomach cramping, nausea, and vomiting. As you draw closer to the end of your fast, you should put together a plan for how to ease yourself back into a regular diet. Obviously, if you’ve been on a juice fast, drinking more juice isn’t really “breaking” your fast. But if you’ve been allowing only water during your fast, juice and fruits, which have high water content, are the best way to ease your body back into a normal diet. Your stomach will have shrunk in size during your fast, so you may even find that juice and fruit can satisfy your hunger at first. Rather than sitting down to a lavish feast to celebrate the end of the fast, eat snacks or small meals throughout the day. Stop eating whenever your hunger is satisfied — overeating before your body is ready to handle it can lead to digestive problems. It's best to stick to foods that have a high water content at first:  Soups and broths Vegetables Raw fruits Yogurt Chewing your food well serves two purposes when you're breaking a fast. First, it prevents you from wolfing down your meals. It takes your brain about 20 minutes to process the information it's getting from the stomach and realize that your stomach is full. Eating too quickly leads to overeating, which is dangerous after a fast. The second benefit of thorough chewing is that it breaks the food up into smaller bits that will be easier for your body to digest.  Chew each bite of food about 15 times. Drink one glass of water before your meal and one glass during your meal to slow down the pace of your meal. Take a small sip between every bite of food. Probiotics are “good bacteria” that are found naturally in the mouth, intestines, and vagina....

TL;DR in English: Have a plan for breaking your fast. Drink juice and eat fruit to come off a water fast. Ease into very small meals. Chew food thoroughly. Introduce probiotics into your system. Listen to your body.

When you have found the spot in the room where you want to place the fireplace and placed the platform, set the fireplace on top of the platform. Make sure that it has the clearance it needs from any combustible materials and that its position looks good in the room. Attach as much as you can up to the section that goes through the wall. This will allow you to figure out where the hole through your wall should go exactly.  You will begin by attaching a straight pipe to the starting collar on top of the fireplace using stove cement. Different fireplaces require different gaskets to completely attach the pipe to the collar. Be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions for this step. Once you are able to determine where the hole for the exhaust pipe will go, use a pencil to trace a circle around the pipe at the wall. Then move the fireplace platform and the fireplace out of the way so you can have easier access the wall when cutting the hole. This hole should be the size of the wall-pass-through that came with you ordered with your stove. The pass through is designed to keep all heat away from combustible wall materials, making it a very important part of keeping risk of fire damage at a minimum.   Before just cutting all the way through your wall, make sure that there are no electrical lines or pipes in the area you are cutting out. Use a drywall saw to carefully cut a square hole around the tracing you made. Remove the drywall so that you can see into the wall, making sure all utilities are clear from the area. Drill a hole from the inside through the outside wall to show you where the corners are on the outside of the wall. If your wall-pass-through is square, it's easiest to drill a small hole at each corner. On the outside wall, use the appropriate tools based on your materials to complete the hole you started on the inside. The framing you insert will create a base on which the pass-through can be attached. Follow manufacturer's instructions when determining materials and size to make the finished hole.

TL;DR in English: Place the fireplace in its final position. Install the exhaust piping at the top, or back, of stove. Cut the hole for the direct venting system. Frame the inside edges of the opening with lumber.

The Asshole deals one deck of cards (without the jokers) clockwise to the left, starting with himself and proceeding in order of player hierarchy from low to high until all cards are dealt (presuming the participants are sitting in order). This ensures that the King begins with the fewest number of cards if the hands are uneven. Some parties may wish to sit in order each round to make it easier.  At the first round, anyone can deal. If there is an uneven number of cards to be had, roll a die to see who gets the fewest. In certain variants, the Asshole must hand over his two best cards to the King. If there is a Vice Asshole or Asshole Jr., he must hand over 1. The King and VP then hand over 2 and 1, respectively, of their worst cards. Either the player to the left of the dealer or the player with a designated card (4 of clubs, say) begins the "trick" (like in Spades or Bridge). The next player can either lay the same card, a higher card, or a pair, three, or four of the same or higher card. With each turn, the value of the cards gets higher and higher until no one can play.  Each player must at least lay the same number of cards. If 2 threes are laid down, the succeeding play must be either 2 threes or 2 fours, etc. Of course, 3 or 4 of the same card is doable as well. If a player cannot go, they pass. They can still play in the same round--they are just opting to pass that specific turn. If all players cannot go, the hand is cleared and the last person to lay a hand down starts again. " As the rounds progress, each player is holding fewer and fewer cards. When one runs out, they become King. That player then sits happily while the rest fight to the death not to become the Asshole. To make the game go more quickly, however, you may count each player's cards after the King is established to assign roles. If keeping score, the players get points depending on their position - for example 2 for the President, 1 for the Vice President and nothing for the others. More importantly, the players of higher status are...

TL;DR in English: Deal the cards. Start with a low card. Continue the "tricks.

Lotion comes in many forms — some are to restore severely dry skin, while others are lighter and meant to maintain the moisture already in your skin. Choose the lotion that will best take care of your hands. Investigate what works best for you by going to your pharmacy and using lotion from the various tester bottles. Try applying it before you really need it. Start applying it in the morning after you take a shower, and reapply throughout the day. If your skin is extremely dry, apply lotion and then put gloves over it before going outside during the winter months. You could also consider wearing lotion under gloves to bed (it sounds weird, but it can really help hydrate severely dry skin). Alcohol will dry out your hands even more and can make cuts on your hands sting. Washing hands with glycerin soap is the best option during the winter. Additionally, as odd as it sounds, the sanitizer strips weak germs off your hands, possibly leaving a clean slate for stronger germs to attack. Washing your hands too much can dry them out and strip away the good oils that exist on your skin, but it’s important to keep your hands clean. When you do wash them, choose glycerin soaps that are not antibacterial — they help keep your hands moisturized. Ensure that your hands are dry when you move from the warm to the cold in winter — this includes waiting five to ten minutes after washing before going outside. Even with gloves, the change in humidity and temperature can sap the moisture from your skin and damage it. If you have to put your hands in water for an extended time (washing dishes, cleaning, etc.) wear rubber gloves. Protect your hands if you’re going to be doing manual labor. If you’re chopping wood, working on your car, lifting and moving things outside — wear gloves. They will help minimize the possible damage.

TL;DR in English: Use lotion consistently. Don't use instant hand sanitizers very often. Wash your hands and dry well. Wear gloves.

Requirements vary based on where you live, so look up local codes on the subject. It will likely need to be about 6 sq ft (0.56 m2) big, and the bottom of the window opening will need to be no more than 44 in (110 cm) off the floor.  Not all basement rooms legally need an egress window. However, basement bedrooms are not allowed without one. Check if you need any building permits to get started as well, and follow the procedures to get them. At the very least, you will probably need to get inspection and clearance from the local utility companies to start digging so that you don’t damage any buried utility lines. It needs to be at least 36 in (91 cm) wide and extend 36 in (91 cm) out from where the window will go. It will also need to be no more than 44 in (110 cm) deep.  Dig the hole about 6 in (15 cm) deeper than where the bottom of the window will be, or as close as you can get without going past 44 in (110 cm) deep. This will allow for a window ledge. If you have a deep basement that forces you to dig the window well deeper than 44 in (110 cm), then most codes will still allow you to install the window as long as you put some sort of ladder or steps in the window well to provide access. Use a measuring tape to measure the outline of the window according to the dimensions you determined. Mark each side with a grease pencil and a straight edge.  Make sure you leave about 6 in (15 cm) of header space between the top of the window and the floor joists if you are placing it perpendicular to the joists. This way the floor joist still have part of the wall to rest on. If you don’t have a grease pencil, you can use masking tape as an alternative to mark the outline of the window. Use a drill bit for concrete that is long enough to go through the wall. Make sure the drill is perfectly level when it penetrates the wall. You will use the pilot hole as a reference point on the outside to mark the window. This is why you need to drill completely level. Use the pilot hole as a reference point to measure the bottom line...

If you do not known the direct email address of the person or department that you need to reach, you can send an email to the contact address provided on a company website. Then, you should indicate in the subject line, using ATTN, who the message should be directed to. Use ATTN when you are writing an internal memo that may be relevant to a number of people within your department or group, but requires the direct attention of one or two people. This way you are still keeping everyone informed, but are also prioritizing who the message directly speaks to. You could write “ATTN: Mary Smith re: sales targets” but send the message to the entire sales team. You could also indicate that something needs immediate attention by using the acronym ATTN in your subject line. For example, you could write “Payroll statements require urgent ATTN.”

Fall is a great time to play with fashionable jackets and coats. The weather is often just cold enough to warrant wearing one, but not so cold that you have to bundle up in the heavy, frumpy coats associated with winter. Pea coats are often made of wool and have a button-down front. They come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to red to olive green. These jackets create a slightly more masculine image. They look heavy and insulated, but many are still light enough to work well for fluctuating autumn weather. If you plan on keeping your look casual for the day, consider a hooded sweatshirt. Opt for fitted styles with a zipper front over pull-over types that have a tendency to look oversized and frumpy. Leather jackets come in a number of styles, from heavy and masculine to sleek and sexy. These pieces are also long-lasting and timeless, so you can often wear them year after year. On a warmer day with little wind, you may not need anything more than a feminine cardigan to keep you warm. Choose darker colors that look more fall-appropriate over white and pastel, which are generally associated with spring.

TL;DR in English: Go for a mix of style and warmth. Consider a fitted pea coat. Look for bomber jackets or military jackets. Wear a fitted hoodie on casual days. Try leather. Consider a cardigan for warmer days.

Mental health is an important part of feeling fit and beautifully healthy. It can be hard to have a positive body image when we are inundated with pictures of very thin actresses and models. But there are ways you can learn to feel good about yourself, no matter your shape. A positive body image will help you stay motivated to eat healthy and work out.    Find something you like about your looks and make that your focus. For example, if you have been running a lot lately, compliment yourself on how strong your legs are looking. Avoid negativity. Try not to criticize yourself. It's fine to want to make changes, but try to give yourself encouragement, rather than tearing yourself down. For example, instead of feeling bad about eating a bag of cookies, say to yourself, "I guess now I have extra motivation to do 20 extra sit-ups tomorrow!" Body image is all about how you feel about how you look. So try to focus on positive feelings. Focus on the good things your body does for you, like give you the energy to play with your dog. When you feel healthy, you will also feel more fit and beautiful. Don't worry about the numbers on the scale. Instead, focus on how strong you feel and how your clothes fit. Base your personal fitness assessment on your energy levels and overall health, not on your weight. It can be tempting to judge yourself based on how other people look. But experts say that comparing yourself to others can be damaging. For instance, it can lower your sense of self-worth. That can lead to lower self-esteem, and lower energy levels.  Make your own goals. Trying to look like someone else isn't going to help you achieve your goals. Instead, assess your fitness level by noting if you've made improvements and if you can see and feel a difference in your body. Think about your body frame size. Everyone is different. Some people have small frames, while others have a large frame. Yours might be medium. You can figure out your frame size by measuring the circumference of your wrist and consulting a height...

TL;DR in English: Build a positive body image. Focus on how you feel. Don't compare yourself to others.

Black lipstick starts to look streaky and flaky more quickly than other colors. To prevent this from happening, it's important to prep your lips before you apply it. Make sure you remove all skin flakes and moisturize your lips so they're soft and supple. If your lips are chapped, you might want to save the black lipstick for another time.  Exfoliate by brushing your lips with a soft toothbrush, or use a lip scrub. Moisturize with a rich lip balm or coconut oil. Black lipstick will probably need to be reapplied each time you take a drink or eat something. If you're wearing it to a cocktail party or another event at which you'll be eating and drinking, don't forget to bring along your lipstick. Faded black lipstick tends to look gray and drab, so you'll probably need to do a touch-up at least once before the evening is over.

TL;DR in English: Exfoliate and moisturize your lips. Keep your black lipstick on hand in case you need to reapply.

Whether aerobics or weight-training, walking or jogging, you can work out to better tone your butt and body overall. A fit and toned big butt is better than just a large one. You can do extra exercises for your glutes to shape them up even more.  Squats are the go-to exercise for toning and shaping your butt. Fortunately squats are like many butt exercises, and require no equipment. You’ll need to work out your waist and legs as well as your butt for a balanced look. Look for exercises that targets groups of muscles for added efficiency. If you have the time, yoga works towards toning your whole body and making you more flexible. Look for poses that target your glutes, thighs, and lower back. Yoga is relatively easy to pick up, and can be done at home for those a little gym-shy. Another way to get control over your body shape, a healthy diet will work towards a slimmer waist and slighter features. For most this will include having a smaller, better-shaped butt. Of course, eating healthy will mean different things for different people, so it’s best to consult your family doctor for the best tips on using diet to slim down. With both a healthy diet and a solid exercise regimen, you should be on the way to a nicer looking behind.

TL;DR in English:


Try ibuprofen for aches and inflammation. Use aspirin for anything that hurts. Take naproxen sodium for longer relief. Reach for acetaminophen. Read the active ingredients to avoid overdose. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

여보세요 (yeo-bo-se-yo) is a way of saying "hello," but it's only ever used when answering the phone. It would be inappropriate and borderline rude to use it in person or in any other context. Because the phrase ends in 요 (yo), it is considered polite and is appropriate to use regardless of who's on the other end of the line. Unlike English and many other languages, there are no distinct greetings in Korea that depend on the time of the day. However, first thing in the morning you can use 좋은 아침 (jo-eun a-chim), which literally means "good morning." While people will understand you when you say this, it isn't a commonly used greeting. It's best used between people you know relatively well, especially if one of them has said it to you first. 만나서 반갑습니다 (man-na-se-o ban-gap-seum-ni-da) means, roughly, "pleased to meet you." If you meet someone in a formal or professional setting, this is the phrase to use.  Don't forget to bow while saying this unless you've already bowed. This phrase is also appropriate if you're meeting someone who appears to be older than you or is in a position of authority. 만나서 반가워요(man-na-se-o ban-ga-wo-yo) is the more informal version of 만나서 반갑습니다 (man-na-se-o ban-gap-seum-ni-da) and also means "nice to meet you." This phrase is appropriate when you're being introduced to someone your age or younger. Remember to pay attention to context as well as the age of the person you're greeting. If you're meeting someone your age in a professional or formal setting, you would typically still use 만나서 반갑습니다 (man-na-se-o ban-gap-seum-ni-da). 만나서 반가워요(man-na-se-o ban-ga-wo-yo) is appropriate in a casual social setting, such as when you're introduced to the friend of a friend.

TL;DR in English: Answer the phone with 여보세요 (yeo-bo-se-yo). Switch to 좋은 아침 (jo-eun a-chim) first thing in the morning. Say 만나서 반갑습니다 (man-na-se-o ban-gap-seum-ni-da) after being introduced to someone new. Try 만나서 반가워요(man-na-se-o ban-ga-wo-yo) if meeting someone around your age or younger.

You can easily locate the North Star by using the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper contains stars known as "pointer stars," which can be used to locate the North Star.  To start, locate the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper is a constellation made up of seven stars. The constellation is found in the northern sky. In the spring and summer months, the Big Dipper will be somewhat high in the sky. In the autumn and winter months, it'll be lower in the sky.  The Big Dipper is given its name because it's shaped somewhat like a bowl with a handle. Four stars form a trapezoid-like shape, the bowl portion. Stemming off of these four stars are three more stars, forming the shape of a slightly bent handle.  Once you've located the Big Dipper, you can use it to find the North Star. To do so, look at the two bright stars that form the side of the bowl farthest away from the handle's tip. These are the "pointer stars." Draw an imaginary line connecting the pointer stars. Extend that line five times the distance between the pointer stars. You should eventually reach a somewhat bright star. This is the North Star. Note that you do not actually have to see the North Star with this method.  If clouds or trees or mountains are in the way, the North Star is still there near the end of the fifth pointer length.  That point is less than three degrees from the North Star and the North Celestial Pole. The Little Dipper is the constellation that contains the North Star. The tip of the Little Dipper's handle is the north star. If you're able to locate the Little Dipper, you can easily spot the north star.  You can use the Big Dipper to find the Little Dipper. Once you find the Big Dipper, look away from it as if water was coming out of the "open" part of the dipper. The Little Dipper will appear as a mirror image of the Big Dipper. It is also a constellation made up of seven stars. Four stars form a trapezoid base, and three extend out from this base to form a handle. The last star extending outward is the North Star.  If you live in an urban...

TL;DR in English: Use the pointer stars of the Big Dipper. Locate the tip of the Little Dipper's handle. Rely on the arrow in the Cassiopeia constellation.

Open the cans of pineapple and fruit cocktail with a can opener. Pour the contents of the cans into a large colander. Drain the fruit very well. Set the drained fruit to the side. You are welcome to add a variety of fresh fruit to your ambrosia salad. To prep this fruit, wash it, slice it into bite sized pieces, and then set it to the side. Popular options include:  1 cup green grapes 1 cup seedless red grapes 1 medium banana 1 apple Scoop ¾ cup vanilla yogurt into a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the fruit to the bowl and fold it into the yogurt. Add the marshmallows and coconut flakes to the bowl and fold them into the yogurt. If your ambrosia salad looks dry, add more yogurt. Place a lid over the ambrosia salad and put it in the refrigerator. Allow the dish to chill for approximately 30 then serve. Instead of covering the dish with a lid, use saran wrap or aluminum foil.

TL;DR in English: Drain the canned fruit. Wash and slice additional fruit as desired. Combine the ingredients. Cover and chill before serving.

Glycerin is a moisturizer that will loosen the ink stain. Dip your swab into the bottle of glycerin, then gently but firmly blot the affected area until it’s completely saturated.  You can buy glycerin from a drugstore or an online retailer. Replace the swab with a fresh one if it becomes covered in ink. To protect other layers of clothing, like the back of a shirt, from any ink or glycerin that seeps through, place an old towel directly underneath the stain. This dilutes the detergent and thins it out so the stain can soak it up more easily. Stir the detergent and water together with a spoon until they’re thoroughly combined.  You can also do this in a spray bottle. Shake it vigorously to blend the 2 liquids. Choose a gentle detergent, particularly if you have delicate fabric. Look for a detergent that’s marked “for delicates” or “for sensitive skin,” for example. Just like you did with the glycerin, dab the area with the swab dipped in the liquid. Continue blotting until you’ve completely covered the stain. This allows the glycerin and detergent mixture to work on the stain. Set the clothing somewhere where it won’t be disturbed, like on top of the washing machine or draped over a drying rack. Monitor the time with the clock app on your phone or a kitchen timer. Check the label on the item of clothing to see if there are any special directions for how to launder it. For example, if you’re dealing with delicates, like a silk blouse or rayon skirt, you may need to wash them by hand or let them air dry.  After washing your clothing, examine it to be sure that there is no trace of the stain left before you dry it. If there is still some ink, repeat the process as many times as necessary to remove it.

TL;DR in English: Dab glycerin on the ink stain with a cotton swab. Mix 1 part laundry detergent with 1 part water in a small bowl. Use a cotton swab to apply the detergent and water mixture to the stain. Let the clothing sit for 10 minutes. Wash the clothes as normal, following the care instructions.

If you feel pain after lifting, exercising, or stretching, avoid putting pressure or stretching your wrists until the pain goes away. This can take several days depending on how injured your wrists are.  Resting the wrists can reduce inflammation and prevent more damage to the muscles around your wrists. Some movement may help your wrists, however, by maintaining your range of motion. You can do normal daily activities, such as typing or cleaning. As long as you do not have any fractures or tears in your wrist, wrist circles can improve your range of motion, reduce stiffness, and promote healing. To do wrist circles, slowly roll your wrist clockwise up to 10 times. Next, go counterclockwise for 10 times. If you need support,  wear wrist splints while you do normal daily activities to prevent re-injury. Buy wrist splints from a pharmacy or supermarket. Avoid wearing them for too long, as they could reduce your wrist's mobility. Place ice packs on your wrists and hold them there for 10 minutes. You can do this once every hour for the first 1 to 2 days that your wrists hurt. If you don't have ice packs, wrap ice cubes in a wet dish towel and hold these over your wrists. Avoid placing ice directly on your skin. While ice is best right after an injury, heat can promote healing and reduce pain a day or 2 after the injury. Put heat on your wrists for 15-20 minutes. Turn on a heating pad or soak a towel in hot water. For the most benefit, alternate heat and ice on your wrists. Professional massage therapy can relieve wrist pain, reduce swelling, and relieve inflammation. A massage therapist will focus on the muscles in your forearms since these control your wrist movements. You can also rub the inner parts of your forearms near the elbows to get quick relief. Buy a pain reliever that will reduce inflammation in your wrists and make you more comfortable. Follow the manufacturer's dosing instructions to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen. You may need OTC pain relievers for a few days after injuring your wrists. If you've...

TL;DR in English: Avoid lifting or other heavy activity for several days. Do wrist circles to keep your wrists flexible. Apply ice packs to your wrists. Apply heat to your wrists if the pain continues. Get a massage or rub your forearms. Take over-the-counter pain relievers. Get medical treatment, if necessary.

Pain relievers are grouped into classes of drugs. One such group is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. Ibuprofen is one of the NSAID drugs that you may choose to relieve your pain. Ibuprofen is a great choice for headaches as well as joint and muscle pain. In addition, it can also lower a fever.  Use ibuprofen if you have any swelling or inflammation with your pain. It may help minimize both while relieving your discomfort. Take 200 mg or 400 mg up to four times a day after a meal if you are an adult. Always follow dosing directions for yourself or others, such as children, to minimize your risk of an overdose.  Recognize that ibuprofen can have side effects such as abdominal pain, bloating, belching, heartburn, flatulence, nausea or vomiting.  Avoid ibuprofen if you have kidney problems. Aspirin is a good general analgesic that also falls into the category of an NSAID. It can relieve headaches, muscle aches, joint pain, and fevers.  Take 300 – 600 mg of aspirin up to four times a day after food if you are an adult. Follow dosing or your doctor’s instructions for yourself and others, such as children, to minimize the risk of overdosing.  Recognize that aspirin can come with side effects including diarrhea, constipation, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach gas, and heartburn.  Avoid giving aspirin to children under the age of 19, as it could cause a serious condition called Reye's Syndrome. You should also avoid aspirin if you have asthma, as it can make it worse and may also cause an allergic reaction that results in hives. Naproxen sodium is another NSAID that is great and relieving pain and inflammation. It’s especially effective for treating pain associated with inflammation such as arthritis, sprains, sunburns, and menstrual cramps. You may also want to choose naproxen sodium because its effects are longer lasting than other NSAIDs. This means you have to take it less often.  Take one 250-, 375-, or 500 mg tablet of naproxen sodium twice each day in evenly spaced doses if you are an adult....

Once you have satisfied all of your loan agreement requirements, and have determined that no issues with the property exist, you are now ready for your closing appointment. A closing appointment is handled by a closing agent, which is a third party recommended by the real estate agent or lender, who verifies all closing documentation and ensures that all payments are received by the relevant parties. Contact the closing agent directly in order to schedule a closing appointment.  The closing agent will schedule the closing appointment with the buyer and seller. However, keep in mind that these appointments are usually separate. The buyer and seller will not usually sign paperwork during the same appointment. The lender will ensure that the closing documents are delivered to the closing agent. Since closing costs are calculated to the exact date of the closing, you will not know the final closing amount until you have set your closing appointment date. Your mortgage lender will have provided you with an estimate of closing costs to use as a guideline, although that amount can fluctuate. In general, closing costs are about 3 to 5 percent of the total loan amount. In certain situations, a seller may be willing to pay some or all of the closing costs if it is negotiated in the contract.  You should ensure that you have the required funds available in your account as of the closing date. Most banks will place a hold on checks deposited into an account before they are available, so make sure to complete any necessary deposits into your account before the closing date. On the closing date, you will likely need cashier’s checks for the payments that need to be made at closing. Your real estate agent will let you know the exact amounts of the checks. The escrow officer will contact the buyer with the amount via the final settlement statement along with any wiring instructions. The money should be at the escrow office one day prior to closing and all of the documents need to be signed at least one day prior to closing....

TL;DR in English: Set your closing appointment. Ensure that you have the necessary closing costs. Collect and review all relevant closing documents. Attend your closing meeting with the closing officer, lender representative and your attorney or Realtor. Complete the closing process.

Many recent devices can connect directly to the router via an ethernet cable. However, some aren't built to do that. Laptops, for example, often don't have components for using ethernet. For that reason, make sure you get any adapters you may need for the ethernet cable to ensure that you can use it.  Ethernet cables are all different; for example, a Cat-5 or Cat-5e cable runs at slower speeds than a Cat-6. However, it's also largely dependent on the router's connection and how many people will be connecting to the network at once. Unless you're doing very, very intensive upload work, you're probably not going to need a Cat-6 cable if you're the only one on the network. You cannot connect a mobile device (e.g. a smartphone) to ethernet with an adapter. The broadband source will most likely be a router, but in some cases, it may be a modem. In either case, you'll need to plug in one end of the ethernet cable to the broadband source to ensure that the computer will connect. Find the ethernet jack on your computer and plug it in. This jack will typically be located on the back of the computer, where the other components plug in. If your computer doesn't support ethernet, you'll need to make sure the computer is connected to the adapter, and then connect the cord via the adapter. You'll need to ensure that the computer is set to recognize the ethernet, rather than wireless. Most likely, you'll have to turn off your wireless connection to ensure that the computer recognizes the ethernet connection instead. Open up a page in a web browser and see if it loads. Some web pages can take longer to load than others, and others crash sometimes, so you may want to try and load a reliable website (e.g. google.com or isup.me) to ensure that the connection is running. Ethernet is more reliable than Wi-Fi, but that doesn't mean that things still can't go wrong. If you're having trouble with the ethernet, it can stem from many problems, but make sure that the basics (e.g. the router being connected) are established, and that...

TL;DR in English: Get an ethernet cable and any needed adapters. Connect one end of the ethernet cable to the broadband source. Connect the other end of the cable to the computer. Access your computer's settings. Test out your internet connection. Troubleshoot if you can't connect.

" Carbon filters are highly recommended for indoor gardens of all sizes. The contain activated carbon, which neutralizes the odors in air as it passes through. The carbon filter is installed in the grow room's exhaust system, where an inline fan forces the air through the filter before passing outside.  There are two types of carbon filter, granular and block. Block is generally more effective, with a larger carbon surface area and greater density for slower, more thorough filtration. Granular filters may be effective for small cultivation areas.  Choose the filter size according to the amount of air you need to evacuate, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). The intake fan in your exhaust system should have a CFM rating stamped on the body of the fan. Make sure the filter has a rating equal to or lesser than the fan's to ensure the fan is powerful enough to move the air through the filter. Likewise, both devices should have the same duct diameter (6 inches is standard, but check just in case).  If you do not have a fan already, you may opt to purchase one separately, or as part of a fan-filter combination. Connect the filter to the fan's intake side using an airtight clamp. Alternatively, you can use metallic duct tape for this step. Wrap fixture hangers around the filter and fan, and hang them from the ceiling using two hooks. Raise the system by pulling on the cords. Try to position the filter and fan in line with the ducting, which should be more or less parallel to the ceiling and pass into the wall. Attach the fan's exhaust end to the duct. Some people find it more effective to install the carbon filter at the opposite end of the exhaust system to the fan. In this case, attach the filter to ducting at the end or back of the system. Rig to the ceiling using the fixture hangers as described above. Plants produce odor around the clock, so you'll need to manage it constantly. Carbon filters are less effective in humid conditions. To help regulate conditions in your grow room at all times, consider...

TL;DR in English: Purchase a carbon filter, aka "scrubber. Install the carbon filter in your exhaust system. Run your filter 24 hours a day. Keep humidity below 70 percent. Change the carbon filter regularly.

Powder will help set your foundation and concealer. It also helps to ensure your skin is nice and dry. If there is too much moisture when you draw them on, your eyebrows may start to run.  Apply a generous amount of powder with a powder brush. Wait about 5 minutes, then dust any excess off. You will be using this mixture to draw on the base of your brow. A combination of black with one or more shade of brown tends to look the most natural. A little bit of black powder in a light brown mix will make the lighter shade look more convincing, while some brown will soften the harshness of pure black.  Avoid shimmery or metallic eye shadow. This may look pretty around your eyes, but it won't look natural on your brows. If you have red hair, then you might want to add some red eye shadow into the mix. Avoid using flat out black eye shadow, even if you have black hair. It will look too stark on your face. Opt for a dark ash or dark brown instead.

TL;DR in English: Pat translucent powder over your eyebrow area. Mix black and brown eye shadows together to closest match your current hair color.

Let's say you're working with the following equation: 3x2 - 4x + 5. To factor out a three from the first two terms, simply pull out a 3 and place it around a set of parenthesis around both terms, while dividing each term by 3. 3x2 divided by 3 is simply x2 and 4x divided by 3 is 4/3x. So, the new equation should look like this: 3(x2 - 4/3x) + 5. The 5 will remain outside of the equation because you did not divide it by 3. The second term, also known as the b term in the equation, is 4/3. Halve the second term, or divide it by 2 first. 4/3 ÷ 2, or 4/3 x 1/2, is equal to 2/3. Now, square this term by squaring both the numerator and denominator of the fraction. (2/3)2 = 4/9. Write this term down. You'll need this "extra" term to turn the first three terms in this equation into a perfect square. But you have to remember that you added it by subtracting it from the equation as well. Though obviously, it won't do you much good to simply combine the terms -- you'll be back where you started. The new equation should look like this: 3( x2 - 4/3 x + 4/9 - 4/9) + 5. Since you're working with a coefficient of 3 outside the parentheses, you can't just pull out the -4/9. You'll have to multiply it by 3 first. -4/9 x 3 = -12/9, or -4/3. If you're not working with an equation with a coefficient other than 1 over the x2 term, then you could skip this step. Right now, you're left with 3(x2 -4/3x +4/9) within the parentheses. You worked backwards to get the 4/9, which was really another way of finding the term that would complete the square. So, you can rewrite those terms like this: 3(x - 2/3)2. All you had to do was halve the second term and remove the third. You can check that this works by multiplying it out to see that it gives you the first three terms of the equation.  3(x - 2/3)2 = 3(x - 2/3)(x -2/3) = 3[(x2 -2/3x -2/3x + 4/9)] 3(x2 - 4/3x + 4/9) You're left with two constant terms, or terms that aren't attached to a variable. Right now, you're left with 3(x - 2/3)2 - 4/3 + 5. All you have to do is add up -4/3 and 5 to...

TL;DR in English: Write down the equation. Factor out the coefficient of the squared term from the first 2 terms. Halve the second term and square it. Add and subtract this term from the equation. Pull the term you subtracted out of the parenthesis. Convert the terms in the parentheses into a perfect square. Combine the constant terms. Write the equation in vertex form.

After a class or after school are usually good times.  You might need just a few minutes to talk to your teacher, or this could be a longer conversation. It's a good idea to ask your teacher after class when a good time would be to come talk with them. They might be free then; if not, they'll suggest a better time.  Don't approach your teacher before class. This is often a busy moment for teachers and they're likely to be distracted. Having your test on hand may help the teacher assess what you need to work on if they let you retake the test. They may have forgotten your grade, as well, particularly if you're in a large class. Also bring any questions you wrote down while looking over your test. Come prepared. Don't immediately launch into the reasons why you  failed; this might make your teacher suspect that you're making up an excuse. Tell your teacher that you accept responsibility for the test and that you're trying to be responsible by asking for a retake. This also makes it clear that you do not blame the teacher for your poor results. It's very possible your teacher will ask why you need the retake. In that case, be honest. Letting them know helps them assess how they can best help you succeed in their class. They might ask you to study an hour a night if you're not reaching standard.  If you're struggling with the material, ask your teacher for help. They won't be able to reteach everything right then and there, but they may be able to point you in the right direction.  If you're considering getting a tutor, ask your teacher if they can recommend someone. " Teachers may have their reasons for allowing or not allowing retakes, and you need to respect their decision. At the very least, hopefully you've learned a little more about their expectations and how to better prepare next time.

Water your fig tree when the top 1 inch (2.5 cm) of soil is dry. Give your fig tree about 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water with each watering. Water your fig tree more if it's wilting or turning yellow.

It's best to have your bettas for a few months before you start breeding to allow them to adapt to their environment.  Remember, however, that males breed best when they are no more than 14 months old. Plan to breed them when you have a long, uninterrupted stretch of free time.  Once you introduce the male and female, you will need to devote at least a few hours every single day for more than 2 months to caring for the pair and their young. Make sure you don't have any vacations, business trips, or high-stress events coming up. The breeding tank should be 5–10 gallons (18.9–37.9 L) and be equipped with a removable divider, a few hiding places, an adjustable filter (such as a sponge filter with a gang valve), and a heater set to around 80 °F (27 °C). Never add gravel or other substrate to the breeding tank because the eggs will get lost when they fall to the bottom. Only fill this tank with 5"-6" of water, and set it up where there are few distractions, such as other fish, bright colors, and human activity. Live brine shrimp or bloodworms are the best bet, but other worms, crickets, roaches, and other insects (cut up) will also work. It's a good idea to raise these yourself or purchase them from a pet store or breeder to avoid the bacteria, dirt, and chemicals that wild insects could be carrying.  If live food is unavailable, you can also try frozen or freeze-dried brine shrimp and bloodworms. Betta fry are very small, and only eat live food, so you will need a supply of very very small live food to feed them when they are ready. Start now to be sure you have a good supply in a few weeks when you need it. Microworms are probably the best food, but some breeders prefer infusoria or vinegar eels. Baby brine shrimp can also be fed, but only in moderation alongside another food source, as too much may cause swim bladder disorder. When the live food cultures are going strong and the breeding pair has been eating live food for a week or two, you are ready to introduce your bettas. Move the male and female so they...

TL;DR in English: Let them settle in. Set up your breeding tank. Start feeding live food when you are ready to breed them. Begin raising fry food. Introduce the pair. Observe their behavior.

Fishing in cover such as weeds, submerged timber, or large rocks calls for heavier tackle than does fishing in open water with comparatively little cover. Clearer water also calls for lighter tackle than does dark water because light penetrates to a greater depth.  Heavy-tackle rods for plastic worm fishing typically run 5 1/2 to 6 feet (1.65 to 1.8 m), with a medium to heavy action. (Some anglers, however, favor rods as long as 7 feet/2.1 m.) They can be paired with a spinning, spincasting, or baitcasting reel with lines ranging as light as 8-pound test (4 kg class) to as heavy as 20-pound test (10 kg class).     Light-tackle rods for plastic worm fishing can run from 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 m) and feature a softer action than heavy-tackle rods. Typical fishing lines for light-tackle fishing run from 4-pound test (2 kg class) for ultralight fishing to 8-pound test (4 kg class) and are more likely to be fished with spinning or spincasting reels than baitcasting reels, as lighter lines are more likely to slip behind the spool of a baitcasting reel.     If you can afford it, buy a rod with a graphite blank instead of a fiberglass one. Graphite is more sensitive than fiberglass, providing you with a better feel of how your lure is performing and also better enabling you to detect when a fish takes the bait.

TL;DR in English: Decide whether you're fishing with heavy or light tackle.

A macho guy should perform basic grooming on himself without spending too much time or money on his appearance. To look macho, you need to be clean, smell good, and dress appropriately, but not look like you spent more than 5 minutes getting ready in the morning, or that you care about your appearance.  Skip things like manicures and expensive haircuts. Instead, learn to trim your own neckline and beard with a trimmer to keep yourself looking good between basic cuts. Trim and clean your fingernails regularly, but don't worry about your cuticles.     Shower and wear clean clothes that fit appropriately and highlight your masculine physique. There's nothing macho about stinking and wearing the clothes a teenager wears. Learn to dress yourself.    What does a macho guy wear? The simpler, the better. A basic look that features any style of jeans, a clean white t-shirt, and work boots looked good in the 1950s and it still looks cool today. Dress appropriately for work. Don't wear flip-flops and board shorts to your job, or you risk looking like a chump. Get a solid pair of shoes or boots and get the job done. A macho guy gets his hands dirty and leads a physical life that will probably result in some dings and dents in the ol' dude. Don't worry about it. Embrace activities that you know you can handle, and be adventurous. You only live once. This doesn't mean that you should be irresponsible and put yourself at risk. Get scars because you dirt-bike and work on your car, not because you get into bar fights or drive like an idiot.

TL;DR in English: Take care of your appearance. You can't go wrong by wearing jeans. Get some scars.

Life will not simply go back to "normal" immediately after the conversation.  Remind yourself of the stages above that parents will go through as they work through accepting your coming out. Consider the emotions that parents will likely experience while they process your coming out: guilt, self-blame, fear, confusion, doubt, denial. Your parents will very likely blame themselves and think that they have done something wrong in raising you. This will be a challenging time for them. One of your parents may make their way to true acceptance more quickly than the other. Although you think of your parents as a single unit, remember that they are individual people who process things in different ways and have different personalities. While your parents work through your coming out, it is important that you accept whatever emotions they feel and project.  Be strong even if your parents project anger, hurt, or sadness. In time, they will stop feeling controlled by their emotions and will begin to think about your coming out more rationally. Avoid projecting negative emotions back on your parents. Just like you should avoid anger when coming out to them, you should avoid projecting negative emotions back on your parents while they come to grips with this. Becoming angry or spiteful with them will slow down their process of accepting. Part of their acceptance process could include sharing this news with other relatives or close family friends.  Refer your parents to the other set of parents who have already gone through accepting their child's coming out for support. Encourage them to seek out support networks like PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).  Have a mutual relative who supports you who can be a point of contact for both you and your parents. It will help your parents to have someone close and trusted to talk to about your coming out. Not all parents will be able to truly accept that their son or daughter is gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender, and you will need to learn how to respect that...

TL;DR in English: Remember that this will take them time. Accept your parents' emotions. Encourage your parents to "come out" to others. Learn to accept how far your parents go on the path to true acceptance.

Fig tree roots grow close to the surface of the soil, so it's important that you water the soil around your fig tree whenever it looks dry. Check the soil at least once a week to see if your fig tree needs more water. Completely soak the soil around your fig tree. If you're not sure what 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water looks like, get a 1 gallon (3.8 L) bucket and fill it up with water. Then, pour the bucket of water over the soil around your fig tree. These are signs that your fig tree isn't getting enough water. If your fig tree exhibits these symptoms, increase the number of times you water it each week and see if that stops the wilting and discoloration.

TL;DR in English:


Identify which features you have. Use a small Victorinox pocket knife. Navigate a full-fledged Swiss Army knife. Unfold a lock blade knife.

Under the Hi-Lo method of card counting, each numbered card has a value. Cards two through six are worth one point. Cards seven through nine are worth zero points. The ten card, face cards, and the aces are worth negative one point each.  The idea is that you’ll keep a total value of all the cards on display, and as more face cards are left in the deck you’ll make more blackjacks while the dealer busts more. The Hi-Lo method is a common counting system, but other systems exist that give different point values to certain cards such as aces and fives. Use a single deck of cards. Turn over the cards one by one, adding up the values as you go. If you draw a two, a five, and an ace, you’ll have a value of one. When you reach the end of the deck, your running total should equal zero. Repeat practice until you’re able to keep your total quickly and quietly. Casinos are wise to card counters, so they play blackjack with multiple decks at the same time. The true count takes the running count and divides it by the number of decks in play. This count gives you more of an idea of how much of an advantage you have in betting.  A running count of three is fine in a one-deck game, but this number means less when there are multiple decks since there are more cards to factor that reduce your chances of winning. For example, a seven running count divided by two decks leaves you with a true count of about three. But if there are six decks in play, the true count is only about one. Start off by using a few decks. Flip over the cards one by one and grow accustomed to dividing with fractions. At first you can simply round the division into a general true count, but as you go you’ll become more able to perform more accurate divisions in your head with less effort. An online card counting simulator can help you practice. Some simulators can correct your counting mistakes and track your winnings. Once you feel comfortable keeping a true count, try mimicking the feel of a casino. First, start small. Add a little music or radio...

TL;DR in English: Assign values to cards. Practice keeping a running count. Keep a true count. Practice maintaining true counts. Keep a count with distractions. Adjust your betting.

In order to get more sleep, you need to make sure your bed is associated only two things: sleep and sex. To ensure that, use your bed only for activities that should be done there. Try not to watch TV, do work, read, or eat in bed. This will make you look at your bed as a place for activity, which may cause you to lose sleep. Caffeine is a stimulant, which can help you get through your day. However, if you drink caffeine late in the day, it can keep you awake. Try to avoid caffeine late in the day. The specific time you should stop drinking caffeine depends on your sensitivity to it. For some, any caffeine after noon can cause sleeplessness. For others, caffeine can be consumed later in the day without sleep loss. Learn your limits and cut off caffeine early enough so that it won't affect your sleep. And remember that chocolate contains caffeine, so you should avoid it late at night as well! Eating large amounts of food or heavy foods late at night can make you lose sleep. The digestion can cause restlessness and your body will gain energy from the food you ate. Try to avoid eating at least two hours before bed.  However, if you need to eat late in the day, try foods that can help induce sleep. These foods include milk, almonds, oats, eggs, and bananas. Also try cherries or cherry juice. Cherries are one of the only foods that naturally contain melatonin, which is the hormone that encourages sleep. Drink a glass of cherry juice or eat a small bowl of cherries if you are hungry before bed. Exercise in the morning or early afternoon to work off your excess energy every day. However, make sure it is earlier in the day instead of late at night. If you exercise too late at night, the extra intensity and body activities will keep you up. If you do have to work out later in the day, choose less strenuous activities such as walking, stretching, or weight training. If you are struggling to fall asleep, don't stay in bed. Instead, get up from your bed to avoid additional frustration. Try to redo part of your nightly...

TL;DR in English: Avoid other activities in your bed. Drink less caffeine. Avoid heavy foods at night. Exercise earlier in the day. Try not to think about not being able to sleep. Reduce exposure to light.

If your piercing has shifted from its original site, you may be experiencing migration. Your piercing might have migrated if you notice constant soreness, a loose-hanging piercing, or a larger hole around the piercing. Migration and rejection are connected. Usually, migration is a symptom of rejection.  Although rejection usually happens to newer piercings, your body can still reject older piercings. Once your piercing starts migrating, it usually cannot be treated. Rejection is irreversible. In many cases, once your piercing has been rejected, you need to have the piercing removed. Talk to the person who pierced your ears and ask for their opinion. They might remove the piercing, or they might diagnose you with an infection and advise treatment. If you do have to remove the piercing, you can get the area re-pierced after it has healed. Return to a professional piercer between six months to a year after removal.

TL;DR in English: Recognize the signs of migration. Visit the place you got your piercing. Re-pierce in 6-12 months.

Attributing quotes to a certain person is the primary way in which quotes are used in news articles.  Always be sure to quote your subjects accurately.  If you are unsure, double check with them as to what they said or consult your recording of the interview. Never alter quotes. It is bad journalistic practice to open an article with a quote.  This is because a quote rarely has the power to sum up the story on its own.  Provide at least a full paragraph of explanatory text before introducing quotes from the main actors involved in the story. If you intend to use quotes at all in your story, introduce them in the third or fourth paragraph. One exception is when writing longer feature articles in a news magazine or, less commonly, in a newspaper. Quotes can add flavor and color to your news article, but only when used thoughtfully.  Don’t overuse quotes or string them together in long, multi-paragraph passages. One quote per paragraph is often enough.  However, if you choose to include a longer paragraph consisting of mostly or entirely quoted material, you only need to reference the source once.  For instance, you could write: “Our forces are spread thin,” Commander Jones said.  “Though the enemy is concentrated in the north, they are massing additional forces in the east, and their allies are gathering strength in the west.” Snippets of quotes are best referenced without quotation marks.  For instance, do not write: The party was “surprised” by the speed voters abandoned it.  “Surprised” is a fairly typical word and not very memorable, and can therefore be referenced as indirect speech without quotes.  Instead, write the same sentence without the quotation marks. In the case of unusual phrases or language, partial quotes are acceptable.  For instance: Senator Michaels was “bowled over” by the response to his legislation.  This vocabulary choice is unusual and may indicate something about Senator Michaels’ personality. Defamatory speech is false or misleading speech that harms the reputation of a person,...

TL;DR in English: Use quotes to show what was said. Do not start an article with a quote. Use quotations sparingly. Avoid partial quotes. Understand quotation marks do not protect defamatory speech.

In Harajuku style, any color goes! Dye your hair in a vivid, eye-catching color like pink, blue, or orange. You could also try an ombré mix of several colors for even more creative flair. Harajuku's spirit of individuality carries through to hairstyles as well. To achieve the look you want, you could also add hair extensions or spray-dye your hair with temporary colors.  Do your hair in an attention-grabbing style, such as a spiky cut or a pair of high side buns. For a more Kawaii style, wear some cute pigtails or full bangs. Whether cutesy or dark, your makeup should be as eye-catching as your outfit. Your makeup may differ based on your favorite substyle, but you should generally avoid natural makeup and aim for a more theatrical look.  Cutesy substyles like Kawaii and Decora favor pink cheeks, round eyes, and pink lips. Edgier substyles such as Visual Kei and Gothic Lolita usually go for dark lipsticks, dramatic eyeshadow, and extremely thick lashes.

TL;DR in English: Dye your hair different colors. Be creative with your hairstyle. Do dramatic, theatrical makeup.

There are many models of Swiss Army knife, each with a unique set of included features. Each knife is designed for a certain type of user, from the casual urban bottle-opener to the serious survivalist. Knives fall into a few main categories: pocket knives, Swiss Army knives, and lock blade knives.  Some models include: classic, tinker, super tinker, angler, camper, huntsman, handyman, mechanic boy, rescue tool, and Swiss champ. They come in categories like everyday, sports and leisure, DIY, LED lights, outdoor, executive, gardening, multitool lights, and scouting. Read the manual. If you've just bought your Swiss Army knife, be sure to read about the tools that come with your particular knife model. Read about the repairs, maintenance, and correct functions of the tool. These knives are usually smaller than the standard model, and they contain fewer features. A pocket knife may contain all or some of the following tools:  Find the large blade, the nail file (with nail cleaner,) the scissors, and the key ring. Pull tweezers and a plastic toothpick from the end of the knife handle. Find the nail file, the end of which is a flat-head screwdriver. Look for a bottle opener with attached nail file. Unfold the Phillips screwdriver, and look for the wire stripper. Some pocket knives even feature a bright LED, a ballpoint pen, and a USB drive. This is the knife type with the most potential features. Some Swiss Army knifes come with as few as four tools, while others are packed with up to 38 unique functions. The standard model may contain all or some of the following tools:  Find the large blade and the small blade, the corkscrew, the key-ring, and the can opener. Pull tweezers and a toothpick from the end of the knife handle. Some knives include more delicate tools like a scissors, a magnifying glass, a sewing eye, a stainless steel pin, and a pressurized ballpoint pen. Check for a bottle opener with screwdriver and wire stripper. Look for the nail file with metal file and nail cleaner. Find the pliers, which...

TL;DR in English:


Let the carpet sit for 24 hours in your home. Cut the carpet to size if you don't have space to do it in the room. Roll the carpet out. Place seaming tape underneath seams. Heat the tape with a seaming iron. Seal the seam with a carpet roller. Tack the carpet into place on one wall with a knee kicker. Stretch the carpet across the room and tack it on the other side. Secure the rest of the room with the knee kicker.

This will be the main part of your water feature. A wide opening is important here. You'll need 3/4" diameter bamboo cut long enough to fit over the opening of your pot. You'll also need a larger ~2" diameter piece of bamboo, cut to about 6" in length. Miter one end of this piece to create the spout. Using twine or string, lace the three narrow pieces of bamboo together into a platform which can be fit over the back half of the pot. Attach the larger piece of bamboo to the platform using glue, but attach it at an angle (using a wedge) so that the spout is angled down towards the center of the pot slightly. Place the pump at the bottom of the pot. Connect the tube and run it up and behind the platform. Place the end of the tube in the bamboo spout so that it goes about 2" in, and then tape the tube in place against the pot (not anywhere that will get wet). Add water into the pot and then start your pump. Everything should be working. Now you just have to make it pretty! Fill the bottom of the pot with river rocks and add some fake plants around the spout to cover up evidence of the pumps. Enjoy your new fountain!

TL;DR in English: Get a nice, large bowl or pot. Get and cut your bamboo to size. Assemble your platform. Assemble the fountain. Add water and start the pump. Add finishing touches.

Resigning in person is always the best and most respectful way to quit a job. However, in some cases doing so is not feasible. If your boss works far away, is away from the office for a long period of time, or has never met with you in person, a phone call is a perfectly acceptable method of resigning. You should always resign by phone rather than resigning by email. If time is a constraint, choose notifying your employer by phone immediately over doing it in person and not providing adequate notice. There's no point in embarrassing yourself with an overemotional appeal, or inflaming feelings at the head office. When you've decided you want to resign over the phone, pull yourself together and make an effort to do this politely. You'll often find you have a better chance of an amicable solution to your problems if you do this. Try to frame your decision to leave in a positive light, even if you are leaving for decidedly negative reasons. For example, try focusing on the opportunity afforded by your new position. Try calming yourself down with a couple of deep breaths. If that doesn't work, talk into a mirror to reassure yourself that you're making the right decision in leaving this role. When it's time to pick up the phone, you'll want to effectively reach someone with authority to make your resignation effective. You can try the human resources department directly, or call up your direct supervisor or manager. If your manager cannot be reached, try reaching out to their direct supervisor. Even if your resignation will be handled by HR, always let your own manager know first. This will give them adequate time to prepare for your absence. The standard throughout most of the working world is giving two weeks notice for resigning from a position. However, this will vary by employer and position. For example, some positions may require that you cease your duties immediately after tendering your resignation. This is usually to protect sensitive information. However, if no guidance as to resignation timing is...

TL;DR in English: Consider resigning in person. Calm down. Find direct channels of communication. Offer your two weeks notice. Be absolutely clear that you are resigning. Tell a story that explains why you are moving on. Consider providing a resignation letter.

Relax your jaw to make your speech a lot clearer with some exercises.  Make wide chewing motions while humming gently. Stretch every muscle in your jaw and face. Open your mouth as wide as possible (as if you were about to yawn), while moving your jaw in circles, and sideways. Open your mouth wide, as in the previous exercise, and shut it again. Repeat 5 times. Make a buzzing sound with your lips together, but don't clench your jaw. Just like breathing, your posture plays a large role in your speech clarity, and it's something that we sometimes forget to take into account.  For best speech clarity you should stand straight with your shoulders back and your weight evenly distributed. Do some shoulder rolls and standing side bends to help with your posture.These simple exercises will also help you with your breathing, and you can even do your jaw strengthening techniques while you stretch. Doing vocal warmups will loosen you up and prepare your voice so you can speak clearly and effectively.  Even if you're not singing, you can do some scales or just hum. Try singing your tongue twisters too. Do some “Whooos!” going up and down. Picture your voice like a ferris wheel going round and round. Hum and pat your chest. This can help knock out any phlegm you may have. When you clench your teeth you're causing a lot of strain on yourself and it can be a sign of stress. And speaking with a clenched jaw will prevent you from opening your mouth enough to enunciate and speak clearly. If you find yourself clenching your jaw, practice some of the warmups, and take a moment to take a deep breath slowly exhaling by letting your breath buff your cheeks out, as if you're letting air out of a balloon. Your vocal chords are like a machine that needs to stay well oiled. Gargle some lukewarm water with a pinch of salt to keep them limber. This helps relieve tension in the throat.

TL;DR in English: Practice jaw exercises to enhance clarity of speech. Watch your posture. Warm your vocal chords. Avoid speaking with clenched teeth. Stay hydrated.

Observe its activity. Drive slowly and pay attention to other vehicles and pedestrians. A pedestrian could walk in front of you or another car could back up. This is why it is important to move slowly and proceed with great caution. Do not check your phone or turn around to look at your kids while parking. 20% of accidents occur in parking lots, so it is important that parking have your undivided attention. Once your car is safely in its spot, you can deal with anything else. Don’t try to squeeze your car into a tight space because you could hit the car beside you, ding their door, or they could hit your car. Look for a spot that will allow for at least two feet on both sides of your vehicle. If there aren’t too many cars in the parking lot, leave a few spaces between you and other cars. Stop your car 6 to 8 ft away from the spot. Slowly come to a halt and turn on your turn signal for 3 seconds when coming to your spot. This will show other cars that you are turning and will give you a chance to check the area around you for traffic and pedestrians. Only begin to move into your parking space after you have carefully looked at the area around you and signaled to other drivers that you will be parking. Carefully position your vehicle within the given space. Make sure your vehicle is in the middle of the space and not too close to either line. If you have an over-sized vehicle, then consider taking up multiple spaces so that your vehicle is not in the lane of the parking lot. This is a problem with many larger trucks and SUVs. You could park in additional spaces by parking perpendicular to the parking spots. Anytime you are parking on a street rather than in a parking lot, be sure to pull over as far as possible. This is especially important when parallel parking. Try to park as close to the curb as you can so that your vehicle will not be hit by cars driving by. If it is a busy road, exit your vehicle on the passenger side of the car rather than into traffic. This will keep your car from rolling. You should...

TL;DR in English: Carefully enter the parking lot. Be prepared to suddenly stop. Focus solely on parking. Choose a spot with enough space. Prepare to pull in. Park in the lines provided on the parking space. Park as close as possible to the curb on a road. Use your car’s safety brake when you  park on a hill. Know how to park in all situations. Use safe parking technology.

Lean your crutch up against the side of the car, right behind the driver's side door. Unlock the door while maintaining your balance, and carefully slide into the driver's seat. To avoid further injury, it is advised to slide in with your backside first. If you are using a second crutch, place it on the passenger seat or behind the driver's seat. Do not shut the driver's side door. Insert the key into the ignition, and turn it forward slightly so that the car turns on, but the engine does not start. Wind down the driver's side window and reach back for the crutch that you left outside earlier. As you bring the crutch into the car, make sure that the top (the padded under-arm part) is near the upper part of your body. When you close the driver's side door, make sure the top of the crutch goes through the open window; it should stick out the window a little bit. Buckle your seat belt and using your left hand, place the end of the crutch on the clutch pedal (the one on the far left). Push the clutch all the way in and apply the brake with your right foot while making sure the car is in neutral with your right hand. If it is, then turn the ignition all the way and wait for the engine to start. Once the car turns over, take the crutch off the clutch pedal and remove the emergency brake. ’  With your left hand, use the crutch to push in the clutch again, and with your right hand, shift the car into first gear. Grab the steering wheel with your right hand at the 2 o'clock position. Take your right foot off of the brake and use it to push in the accelerator, revving the engine to around 2,000 RPMs. Slowly release the clutch (using the crutch) until you feel the car start to pull forward. Push the gas in further and release the clutch completely (it's a push/pull relationship between the two pedals). Shifting from first to second is similar to the step above. Keeping your eyes on the road, start out with your left hand on the crutch handle and your right hand on the steering wheel. When it is safe to shift, move your...

TL;DR in English: Get in the vehicle. Set up. Start up. 'Get it in first gear. Shift up. Shift down. Finishing Up. Congratulations, you made it!

It needs this time to adjust to the temperature and humidity in your home. That's because it may expand or shrink based on these conditions, so you want to make sure it's through with that process before you put it down. You can leave it rolled up during this time. If your room is small, you may not have enough floor space to bring the carpet in and cut it. Use the measurements you took earlier for the room to cut the carpet to size. Make sure to leave some extra on either end so you don't end up with a piece that's too short. Start in one corner of the room. Leave 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of excess on each side of the carpet up against the wall. Unroll the carpet roll, covering the floor and tack strips as you do. Line up carpet edges as needed to make seams and cover the whole floor. Check the texture of the carpet to make sure it's going the direction you want. When you come to a seam, lay seaming tape down on the floor. The sticky part should be facing up. Place the carpet seam over the tape, making sure both edges are covered. If possible, try to place seams in inconspicuous, low-traffic areas. Set your seaming iron to 2 or 3. Lift up the carpet on both sides so you can slide the seaming iron underneath the carpet and on top of the tape. Leave it in place for 8-10 seconds until the adhesive melts, then move it down. Press down on the part of the seam you just heated so the carpet sticks to the tape.. Run your thumbs over the very center of the seam to make sure it's in place. Then, use a carpet roller to go over it several times, running it back and forth along the seam. Do this as you heat each section, not at the very end.  A carpet roller is a small roller that looks a little like a painting roller. Wait 20 minutes after doing seams before tacking and stretching it. Keep moving down the seam this way until it's stuck in place Place the tooth edge of the knee kicker on the carpet near the wall in a corner. Put it about 3 inches (7.6 cm) out from the wall. Hit the flat, vertical part sticking out...
