The operative word is clean. The slightest bit of contamination can spoil the rum. Before you start, make sure you're dealing with the cleanest ingredients and a sanitary area. Clean and then submerge any utensils you will be using in boiling water. Turn the heat off the boiling water and soak your pot or barrel in the near-boiling water. Then dump the water. This will help kill off any potentially harmful germs. The sugar will dissolve easily, but the molasses will be tougher dissolve, as it is very sticky. Try not to boil the water. Continue to let it heat up until bubbles just start to form, and then turn the burner off. You may find it helpful to take out about 1 liter of the mash in a jug first; try dissolving the yeast in the smaller jug. Then, when the mixture begins to foam up, incorporate with the rest of the wort.

TL;DR in English: Begin by placing 20 L of water in a clean boiler. Dissolve both the sugar and molasses in 20 liters of water over medium heat. Cool the solution to 28 °C (82 °F) and add the hydrated yeast.

This will boost your confidence and shows the interviewers that you did your homework and care enough to learn more.  Read the company website and press releases, and use Google to find news articles. Prepare answers to predictable questions, such as the introductory 'Tell me about yourself', and questions about your abilities, career history, personality and goals. These should not be stumbling blocks; rehearse well beforehand. This will help you counter all the possible questions that will be hurled at you during the interview. Usually for the graduates who have come out of their college, the questions will be based on the learning in college and also related to the course. Dwelling too much into the subjects before attending the interview will cause last minute jitters. So it is better to know stuff beforehand. Use the college's own verbiage that sold the degree courses to you in the first place as ready-made answers when your employer asks what use your learning is to your employer. Many colleges now tell you what useful skills you'll have to take out into the work world after learning. All you need do is memorize those alluring lines.

Not only does this involved the information finding mission from the prior step but it is also thinking through why you want to work for this organization, being ready for awkward or difficult questions and having a good idea about your fit in the place.  Think about your own resume. Anything odd about it, like chunks of missing time, an abrupt job end or a failure to launch? Address these in your mind so that you have good answers if the issue is raised. Have answers to awkward questions about plans for your future. While it is illegal in many jurisdictions to ask questions about your birthing intentions and family arrangements, employers find ways of wheedling this out of you with clever but sneaky questions.

Emotional abuse, also known as “psychological abuse,” is any act of verbal assault, humiliation, intimidation, isolation, or confinement that diminishes someone’s self-worth or dignity. It can take many forms and can exist in every relationship, whether familial, intimate, or work-related. Emotional abuse, like physical abuse, develops in cycles: the abuse builds as the abuser tries to establish dominance, then the abuser expresses remorse and life returns to normal. However, the cycle will start up again, often with the abuser acting in a more extreme manner. Any act that diminishes your sense of self-worth can be abusive. Common abusive acts include:  swearing or yelling name calling, mocking, and insults verbal or physical threats or intimidation isolation or excluding someone Emotional abuse can be every bit as damaging as physical violence in a relationship. Emotional abuse begins to take its toll on your self-esteem, happiness, and even your physical health. Common signs of emotional abuse in romantic relationships include:  The abuser criticizes, judges, or humiliates you. The abuser dominates or controls you. The abuser focuses on blame and accusation. You are the victim of emotional distancing. Children can be abused emotionally, not just physically. Although children may lack the words to tell someone that they are being emotionally abused, there are common warning signs:  The child withdraws socially. The child loses self-confidence or suffers a decline in school performance. The child is desperate for approval and affection. The child suffers repeat ailments like stomachaches or headaches that do not have a medical cause. The elderly can also be abused emotionally. In the United States, over half a million cases of elder abuse are reported each year. Elder abuse can be perpetrated by anyone who cares for the elderly, whether a family member or a professional. There are many symptoms of emotional abuse in the elderly:  They often suffer from hopelessness or low self-esteem. They become shy and...

Toasted walnuts taste best when served warm, so you should not let them cool to room temperature. They will be hot after you finish toasting them, though, and handling them immediately can lead to burns. Wait until the nuts have cooled just enough to comfortably hold in your hand. " The shell should have begun peeling up slightly at the "x" mark as the walnuts toasted. Use your fingers to grip the corners and forcefully peel the softened shell off. The shell may still pose some problem, but it can usually be worked off with only your fingers. If the shell is still too hard to peel away, gently crack it using a nutcracker as though the nut were still raw. Apply pressure carefully, though, since toasted walnuts tend to be a little softer than raw walnuts and will break apart more easily. You can either use a clean dish towel or paper towel. Rub the towel over the nuts using small yet rapid strokes to remove the bitter skins. You can also store the toasted nuts in the refrigerator or freezer if necessary, but most people prefer the taste of warm toasted walnuts over cold walnuts.

TL;DR in English:


Stretch your quads while standing. Try a kneeling bridge stretch. Do lunge stretches.

Since your living room is big, it probably can’t be lit properly with just one central light source. During the day, take advantage of windows and keep the curtains or blinds open. Use 2-3 unique lamps near the corners of the room to enhance the central light source and make the evenings feel cozy for guests.  Consider keeping 2 identical table lamps on side tables located on either side of your biggest couch. Then, put a floor lamp that is made of the same materials, or contains the same colors, in a corner on the other side of the room. If you have a fireplace but don’t use it, fill it with candles and light them for extra brightness and ambience. Cool colors, such as blues and greens, tend to visually expand space. Since you want to do the opposite, go with a warmer color palette that includes reds, oranges, and/or yellows. Get curtains, lamps, wall art, and throw pillows and blankets in these colors. For example, you could get a set of solid mahogany curtains and 2-3 apricot throw pillows that have mahogany appliques or tassels on them. Texture is important because it adds dimension to a space, which is especially important when you have a lot to work with. Specifically, rough textures help a room feel more intimate and grounded, so try to incorporate several rough-textured pieces into your living room.  Toss a few wool throw pillows onto your couch and/or keep a tree branch candle holder centered on your coffee table to add in some rough texture. To create a focal point, choose a textured couch or a large chair paired with a jute ottoman. A large patterned rug can split up space and add personality to your room. Place it near your main sitting space underneath the coffee table and between or underneath your couches. Once again, choose patterns, textures, and colors that fit with your personal decor style, and make sure the size of the rug is proportionate to the size of the space. Consider getting a unique Persian or oriental rug, such as a Kazak rug or an Aubusson rug. These are typically very colorful...

TL;DR in English: Emphasize lighting. Use a warm color palette. Add in rough textures to warm up your large space. Lay a large patterned rug on your living room floor.

Aim to buy a purebred puppy from a responsible local Cocker Spaniel breeder. It is a good idea to visit a few local breeders before choosing one from which to buy a puppy. Check local classified listings, talk to area vets, attend dog shows, visit dog parks, and ask other local Cocker Spaniel owners for referrals to reputable breeders. It's best to shop locally so you can meet the puppy first and establish a relationship with a knowledgeable breeder. Browse the database of Cocker Spaniel breeders at the American Spaniel Club (ASC) website to look for ASC-registered breeders in your state: http://www.asc-cockerspaniel.org/index.php/breeders.html Ask how many years of experience the breeder has; ideally, they should have at least a few years of experience. Also, ask if they only breed Cocker Spaniel puppies or other breeds as well. If they specialize in Cocker Spaniels, they are more likely to be knowledgeable about them. Be polite and direct with questions like:  "Have you been a breeder for many years?" "Have you only bred Cocker Spaniels?" Making sure that your new puppy is healthy is of the utmost concern, and it should be a breeder's primary concern as well. Be sure to ask your breeder if the puppies’ mother is current on her vaccines, as puppies receive their early immunity to disease directly from their mother, and if either parent had any genetic defects. You should also inquire if the puppy will be seen by a vet before it is sold.  Conditions like progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), cataracts, glaucoma, cardiomyopathy, and hip dysplasia are common in Cocker Spaniels, so ask if either parent of the litter has been afflicted with any of them.  Both the mother and the father should be certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) as well. Almost all pet stores puppies come from puppy mills, which are essentially puppy factories with horrible, unhealthy conditions. Given the popularity of the Cocker Spaniel breed, many Cocker Spaniel puppies will be sold in pet stores. Buying your new puppy from...

TL;DR in English: Locate local breeders. Ask about the breeder’s experience. Ask about health considerations. Do not buy from a pet store. Insist on visiting the premises. Read the breeder’s behaviour.

Cut a 1⁄2–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) section from a wire hanger if you want a dart-like projectile. Otherwise, you can use a BB or ball bearing as your projectile. Feed the projectile into the barrel of your coil gun. You can use any projectile as long as it’s magnetic. Place the battery back in its terminal so a current can run through your circuit. Locate the triangular metal piece on the back of the circuit and press down on it with an insulated screwdriver. Hold the screwdriver there for 5 seconds so the capacitor can fully charge. Don’t touch the capacitor after it’s charged or else you will get shocked. Once the capacitor has been charged, flip the switch into the on position to shoot your gun. Turning on the switch completes the circuit and charges the coils around the barrel, propelling the projectile forward. Once you shoot the gun, leave the switch on for 1 minute so any leftover voltage in the capacitor can discharge safely. Make sure your gun isn’t aimed at any living thing since it will shoot quickly.

TL;DR in English: Load a metal BB or piece of wire hanger into the pen barrel. Put the battery back in the camera and charge the capacitor for 5 seconds. Turn on the switch to shoot the coil gun.

If you haven’t purchased a mattress in a while, it’s good to see what options are available before going to a store.  Check prices online to see what you feel is reasonable based on what is being offered. Mattress brands are often coming out with new styles of mattresses including ones that offer adjustable firmness levels and temperatures. Decide how high-tech you want your mattress to be, as some of these may only be available at specialty stores or online. Look up what special features may be offered by each mattress brand including a trial period or money-back guarantee. If desired, you can print this information to bring to the store with you. Although this is difficult to determine without first testing mattresses, a few physical factors can help direct your decision.  If you have back problems, consider a medium-firm to firm mattress choice. These are best for supporting your lower back and reducing back pain. Pillow-top mattresses are best for people who aren’t too light, as they won’t have enough weight to suppress the top and the springs to a point that it makes a difference in comfort. Larger people typically find pillow-top mattresses more comfortable for this reason. Ignore the spring count that is given as proof for a mattress’ supposed quality and firmness or softness. Studies have shown that the number of springs doesn’t actually affect how comfortable the mattress is. Nothing is worse than finding and purchasing your perfect mattress, just to realize you can’t fit it in your house. Check your space availability in your bedroom, and then decide on a size of mattress to fit.  Twin mattresses are the smallest size, and measure on average 39”/75”. The next largest size after a twin mattress is a full or double mattress, which measures at 54”/75”. The queen sized mattress is the most commonly purchased by couples for its size and relative price. It measures at 60”/80”. King size bed is the largest standard sized mattress available. It is 76”/80”. Some mattress brands and stores offer an extra...

TL;DR in English: Visit mattress websites to see what’s offered. Decide on a level of firmness. Measure the space you plan to put the bed. Find a store(s) to shop at.

Remember that inner peace develops over time.  Fluctuations occur throughout the day. There will be moments that you feel more peaceful than others. Remember that you are a work in progress, and although you are always changing you are beautiful in every moment. Think only of what is at hand.  Think less about the past or future.  Today is different from the past. Being mindful of each moment can help you feel centered, calm, and peaceful. Try a guided meditation through a website or app, like Headspace or Calm. It is easy to allow negativity into your mind by expecting or fearing unknown situations. Let go of bias and expectation. Be open to experience.   Letting go of the need for control will help you feel peaceful with life's unpredictable circumstances. Take time to do the things that make you happy.  Satisfy your desires. Following your own path is the road to inner peace. Try reaching out and connecting to others. This can help you feel peaceful and content. You are who you are.  Take pride in your individuality. Accept yourself for who you are. Self-acceptance should be unconditional: you deserve to love yourself, strengths, weaknesses, and all. Find contentment in where you are, who you are and what you are doing. Accepting your life as it is and yourself as you are will help you to feel inner peace. Rectify your errors when possible.  Relieve your mind. Everyone makes mistakes. To feel peace, you should admit when you are wrong. Your worries will drive away inner peace; focus on the positive in life to remain peaceful and in control.

TL;DR in English: Be patient. Experience the current moment. Try not to prejudge. Be happy. Have pride. Be content. Take responsibility. Be optimistic.

Stand with your legs in line with your shoulders. Keep your back straight and bend your knee to lift your shin and foot behind you. Reach back and hold the toe of the leg you’re lifting to extend the stretch further. Hold the stretch for 5 to 10 seconds, depending on your ability.  Use your hand on the same side as the leg you’re lifting: if you’re lifting your left leg, use your left hand. Brace yourself by holding your opposite hand against a wall if you need help balancing. Repeat on the other side, and proceed to 5 to 10 repetitions for each leg. Kneel down and sit on your heels. Reach behind you and place your hands on the ground with your arms fully extended. Inhale, then place your weight on your hands and exhale as you tighten your buttocks and lift your pelvis forward off of your heels.  Hold the pose for 3 to 5 seconds, depending on your ability, then return to the seated position. Proceed with at least 10 repetitions. The farther back you reach, the more intense your stretch. Start with your hands closer to your feet if you're a beginner. Start on one knee with your other leg forward, so that knee is bent above the heel at a 90 degree angle. Bring both hands to your forward thigh, and lean your torso backward while extending that knee forward. Use these opposite motions to stretch out your quad.  Hold for thirty seconds. Proceed with 5 to 10 repetitions on each leg. Work the stretch even more by sliding the foot that's flat on the ground slightly outward and bringing both hands to the floor. Your arms and hands should be on the inner side of your leg and your knee should be in line with your shoulder. Bend your elbows, bringing them closer to your chest as you lower your torso closer to the floor.

Water may help minimize inflammation by flushing your system. While sciatica is not always directly associated with inflammation, pain is always associated with inflammation. In addition, the tissues of the spine contain water and staying hydrated can help strengthen those structures. Both hot and cold therapy are very useful approaches in treating sciatica. Most natural practitioners will recommend first applying ice followed by heat for three cycles. This should be repeated at least four times a day. Apply ice for about 10 minutes followed by heat for five minutes. This is one cycle. Chiropractors are specially trained, especially in spinal disorders. They are trained to manipulate and move the bones of the spine back into alignment and reduce the pressure on the sciatic nerve. Overall, chiropractic care has been shown to significantly improve symptoms of sciatica.  Chiropractors are also trained to treat all the major causes of sciatic pain and, if necessary, can refer patients to other specialists such as surgeons. Chiropractors also educate their patients regarding specific exercises designed to improve the spine and the bones, joints and muscles that may be impacted in sciatic pain. Traction, or spinal decompression therapy involves stretching out the spine using a traction table or other device is often used to reposition a bulging disc and can be very helpful in treating sciatica. Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is based on the concept that meridians — energy channels — run throughout the body. The placement of needles at specific points along these meridians can relieve pain and treat a wide variety of conditions.  The placement of the needles will depend on your specific needs and may be combined with Chinese medical massage (Tui na). Acupuncture may also be combined with the use of Chinese herbs combinations to promote muscle relaxation and release of tension. This can provide direct pain relief. Therapeutic massage can improve circulation, relax the muscles, and lead to the...

TL;DR in English: Drink more water to keep yourself hydrated. Use hot and cold therapy to relieve your sciatica pain. See a chiropractor to treat your sciatica. Visit an acupuncturist to treat your sciatica. Employ massage therapy to treat your sciatica. Use herbal treatments for sciatica.

Not all devices are made equally in terms of print quality, and a printer's performance is most often reflected in its price. Review the device specifications prior to purchasing an inkjet printer.  Choose a printer model that provides 48-bit color support and an optical scan resolution of at least 2,400 dots-per-inch (dpi) for the best results. Read and compare the product reviews for several different devices to help determine which inkjet printer will produce the best quality images and photos. Photo printers are designed specifically for printing photographs, and usually produce the highest quality results. A dedicated photo printer typically will produce better quality images than a multipurpose printer.

TL;DR in English: Purchase a printer capable of printing high resolution photos and graphics. Consider purchasing a photo printer.

To build trust, it is important to show that you are kind, respectful, and accepting of the other people. Be understanding and show them compassion when they need it. Always respect their thoughts and beliefs, even when they are different from yours.  If you disagree on something, be respectful about it. For instance, don’t say, “I don’t believe in your religion at all. It sounds really weird.” Instead, say something like, “My beliefs are pretty different, but that’s ok! I respect all religions.” Also, be accepting of your friend. Don’t try to get your friend to change for you. Trust is built over time, so be ready and willing to invest time in someone if you want to gain their trust. Each time you hang out, it’s an opportunity to have positive interactions and show your trustworthiness. Avoid only being around them when things are going well. Be there for them during the ups and the downs.  Your willingness to be around them when they’re going through a hard time shows them that they matter to you. You aren’t hanging around just to have fun and enjoy the good times – you want to have a real friendship. Meaningless flattery and only telling someone what they want to hear isn’t the same thing as kindness. You don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but you also don’t want to lie to them. Avoid being vague with them. Be specific and really mean the things you say. For example, if your friend asks you how they look in an outfit and it doesn’t look flattering, don’t automatically say, “It looks great!” when you know it doesn't.  However, you also don’t want to say, “Honestly, you look a bit overweight in that.” Instead, you could say something like, “That color looks awesome on you! I like the style of the outfit, but I’m not sure about the neckline. Let’s look for something else in that color.” When your friend texts or calls you, try to reply or call them back as soon as you can. If they send you a text and you don’t respond for days, it creates the illusion that you either don’t care enough to reply, or you’re...

TL;DR in English: Show kindness, respect, and acceptance. Spend time with them. Be sincere. Be accessible. Listen

As stressed as you may be about the test, think about the differences between studying and doing homework.  Use your homework to study for the test. Most of the time, the key points needed for the test are discussed in the homework. When your teacher assigns homework, s/he also assigns a certain point value to the assignment. If you do the work, you get the points, if you don't, those points are lost. Your teacher doesn't give you points for studying, just for the test. If the test is hard, no matter how much studying you do, you might still get a bad grade. Then you'll want the cushion homework points will give you. Don't cram! Your brain will retain the information a lot better if you gradually memorize information. Cramming helps in the short term, but if you hope to retain the information for the entire semester, it is best to study over a longer period of time. The risks far outweigh the rewards. Nap, exercise, listen to music... etc. Calm yourself. The last thing you want to do is freak out right before an exam. You won't be able to concentrate. Even if you haven't studied at all, if you paid attention in class, chances are you will do fine. If you stress too much, you will blank out and end up with a worse grade. Studies have shown that peppermint improves memory and recall.

TL;DR in English: Don't study until your homework is done. Study over time. Don't cheat. Relax before tests. Eat a peppermint during a test.

You will need a piece of paper, a writing utensil, and some colored pencils or markers. Pull out a few of the colored pencils or markers and assign meaning to a few of them. For instance, you may say that orange is for topics you need to research further, a green marker is for an essential point, purple is for counterarguments, and yellow is for supporting examples.  Lay out the colored markers or pencils to which you have assigned meaning. Orient your paper so that it is in landscape position. If you don't have colored pencils or markers, don't worry. You can still make a mind map with just a pen or pencil! This can be just a word or two, or it can be the thesis you have already decided on. If you are writing about disability advocacy, for example, you could either write "Disability" or you could write "Disability is a socially and environmentally imposed issue rather than an inherent physical reality." It just depends where you are in your thinking! Circle your topic. Start writing any words or ideas that relate to the topic at hand. Draw them each in their own bubble, then draw lines to connect them to the main idea and to each other using the colors that apply. You can draw your lines as arrows, branches, or whatever other shape seems relevant.  Each thing you write down may give you another association. Write that down as well. For instance, writing "Impairment vs. disability" might remind you of "wheelchair ramps." Try to cluster related thoughts together ("wheelchair ramps"—"access to public life"), but don't worry if it doesn't always happen—you can draw a line between things you wish to connect. Look for connections between your unrelated thoughts and jot them into the picture. If you would like to take a more organized approach, you can pre-map your ideas. You might draw several bubbles and label them "Who" "What" "Where" "When" "How" and "Why," for instance. Then fill them in. You might also label them "supporting argument," "evidence," "counterargument" etc. Work swiftly so that your associations...

TL;DR in English: Set up your supplies. Write your topic in the center of the page. Write down your associations. Draw empty bubbles if you're stuck. Sketch, don't draw. Use an online template instead.

To add an elegant or rustic touch to your cake, purchase pesticide-free flowers and gently insert the stems into the cake. To keep the cake fresher for longer, wrap the stems with an edible sealer before sticking them in the cake. Types of edible flowers include:  Chamomile Marigolds Carnations Cornflowers Daisies Fuchsia Hibiscus Pansies Roses Lavender If you want to cover the frosting or add a burst of color and texture, scatter sprinkles, chopped nuts, caramels, meringues, or candy over the top or sides of the cake. To add them to the sides of the cake, use your palms to gently press them into the frosting so they stick. Toffee or spun sugar makes an impressive decoration that has a slight crunch. If you're decorating a wedding cake, the couple might request brides, grooms, bells, or hearts on top. Look for sturdy toppers or figurines that won't sink down too far into the cake. Keep in mind that toppers and figurines aren't just for weddings. For example, top birthday cakes with clean:  Toy animals Action figures Small plastic dolls Toy cars Try to use whatever fruit is in season that works with the flavor of the cake. For example, if you're decorating a summery lemon cake, top it with fresh berries such as blueberries, blackberries or strawberries. If you're decorating an autumn gingerbread cake, place slices of dried apples or pears around the edge. To make the fruit look sparkly, consider dipping it in a sugar glaze and letting it harden. Or use crystallized fruits or citrus peel for a little extra shine. For a simple decoration that looks great with fresh fruit, spoon whipped cream on top of the cake just before serving. If you'd like to be able to pipe the whipped cream, stabilize it with gelatin, marshmallow fluff, or pudding mix first. To flavor the whipped cream, beat in a few drops of vanilla, almond, lemon, or coffee extract.

TL;DR in English:


Pour 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of plain yogurt. Consider adding 1 teaspoon of honey. Stir everything together with a fork or spoon. Gently massage the cleanser onto your face.

Actually getting students to apply for the scholarship, and making the award, entails a lot of steps and requires planning. You will need to consider:  Where and when will applications be made available? Where should the applications be sent? When will applications be due? What will the components of an application be? Who will select the recipient(s), and how? How and when will the recipient(s) be notified? How and when will the scholarship funds be distributed? To ensure a successful scholarship program, you will need to notify student applicants of the opportunity. You can ask high schools and/or colleges to advertise the scholarship (via email, flyers, financial aid workshops, etc.) by contacting their office of financial aid or scholarship coordinator. You may also advertise the scholarship opportunity via community groups, student workplaces and activity centers, etc. A scholarship application can be simple: for example, a form that asks for an applicant’s name, contact details, and grade point average. Usually, however, a scholarship application has many components. However you design your application, you want to make sure that it will solicit the information you need to select the recipient(s) based on your criteria. Common components of scholarship applications may include:  An essay on a topic relevant to the scholarship purpose A list of academic and/or non-academic awards and achievements A description of extra-curricular involvement An explanation of financial need Copies of high school and/or college transcripts Letters of recommendation from teachers, advisors, employers, etc. Once you have designed the application, advertised it, and received submissions from applicants, you can begin to select its recipient(s).

Send out an email from your new email address informing your important contacts of your new address. You can keep the message brief, such as "Hi everyone, this is my new email address. Please add it to your contacts!" Sending it from your new address makes it easy for recipients to update their address books. You may want to send different messages to different groups of people. Many email services allow you to group contacts. Create a few different groups, such as "Work," "Family," and "Friends," and then send the messages to the groups instead of individual contacts. Chances are you've used your email address to set up a variety of accounts online over the years. In order to ensure that you'll still have access to these accounts once you transition email addresses, you'll need to update your account information for each one. If you use a password manager like LastPass or your web browser's password manager, you can use the list of stored passwords to determine which accounts you need to update.  Start with the most important accounts first, including your online banking, utilities, social media, and online store accounts. Then make sure all of your other accounts are changed as well, including forum accounts and other less-important accounts.

” A good friend has sincere interest in finding out as much as she can about her friends’ point of view. If you’re really sincere about staying involved in this friendship, stay interested in your friends’ daily life and experiences. Let your questions reflect this deep interest, and don’t get caught up discussions of political likes and dislikes.  Explore your friends’ perspective by asking open-ended questions. Think out loud about what your friend shares, and ask questions to clarify that you’ve understood what she said. ” Political beliefs are sensitive, personal issues, and it can be easy to get emotional about them. When people have political discussions, they’re likely to engage in “blocked listening” which means selectively listening to your friend’s words for an opportunity to disagree with what’s been said.  If you find yourself wanting to include the word “but” in your conversation, chances are you’re engaged in blocked listening. Remember that telling people where they’re wrong is unlikely to change their minds or improve your relationship. Because political beliefs are based on interpretation of facts, you won’t be able to convince another person of your point of view by quoting well-respected experts who agree with you. This only invites your friend to bring in expert opinions that support her own point of view.  Quoting experts, or providing poll figures to show how many people agree with you on a political topic, isn’t likely to persuade your friend that she’s wrong and you’re right. If this is an issue that’s important to your values, it’s enough to just let her know what your own beliefs are. If she wants to learn more, allow her to ask you. It’s not fun to talk to someone whose beliefs are fixed. Political conversations between friends aren’t really about who is right and who is wrong. Instead, they’re an opportunity to keep a good, thoughtful mood going.  It will help to realize that political viewpoints are deeply connected to a person’s sense of identity. If you get so focussed on...

TL;DR in English: Practice “hungry listening. Be wary of “blocked listening. Don’t try to change your friend’s views. Avoid imposing your political beliefs on your friends. Be mindful of your social media feed. Agree to disagree.

While it's great to want to please your parents, understand that if you grew up with particularly controlling or high pressure parents you may have fallen into a habit of people pleasing. People-pleasing can have negative effects longterm.  People pleasers often bend over backwards to accommodate other people. In the process, they lose sight of their own needs and wants. When your feelings of pleasure and self-worth are completely rooted in the approval of others, you end up not knowing who you are and become totally unable to nurture or care for yourself.  Oftentimes, people become people pleasers due to high-pressure parents. If your parents imposed strict expectations on your growing up, you may have learned that your value comes from what others expect of you. Carrying the desire to please into adulthood can have negative effects. People pleasers tend to have an intense fear of failure and rejection. They tend to be more high stress than others. This increased level of stress results in people-pleasers becoming less organized and productive than other people. People pleasers are also more easily affected by loneliness as their self-worth is rooted in making others happy. If you feel your desire to please your parents is rooted in compulsive people pleasing, there are ways you can get beyond this personality trait.  Getting beyond people-pleasing is a gradual process that takes a lot of personal effort. You need to acknowledge you're too much of a people pleaser and work at consciously getting to know yourself and giving yourself the time and care you need in addition to the people around you. Patience, restraint, and discipline is important to this process.  It is helpful to seek out a therapist as you try to work away from people pleasing habits. A therapist can help validate you and your feelings and help you work away from destructive patterns. You can usually find a therapist through your insurance provider. Many big cities have low or no cost clinics available for people with poor coverage or without...

TL;DR in English: Understand the dangers of people pleasing. Learn how to get beyond people pleasing. Talk to your parents about your need for privacy and independence.

Lemon juice is naturally antibacterial, and it can help reduce acne. It would be best if you use fresh lemon juice for this, but bottled may also work. If you are using fresh lemon juice, be sure to strain out the seeds and pulp first. Yogurt is a great, natural moisturizer. It will prevent the lemon juice from drying out your skin. The lactic acid in it is also naturally exfoliating, so it will help make your skin brighter and softer. To get the most benefits from this cleanser, use full-fat yogurt instead of low-fat or non-fat. You cannot go wrong with adding honey. It is both antibacterial and moisturizing, making it ideal for those with acne or dry skin. If you not have any honey on hand, however, you can leave it out of the cleanser. Keep stirring until the color and texture are consistent. You don't want any streaks or "puddles" of lemon juice. Splash your face with warm water first, then gently massage the cleanser in, making sure to avoid the area around your eyes. Wait 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse the cleanser off with warm water. Follow up with a slash of cool water, then pat your face dry.  To make this cleanser even more effective, place a warm, damp towel over your face for 1 to 2 minutes first, then apply the cleanser. Apply your usual moisturizer afterwards. This will keep the lemon from being too drying.

If you don't naturally have back dimples at all, the only way to get them is with cosmetic surgery. This is accomplished by removing fat from the areas where you would like the dimples to appear. Traditionally, this is done with liposuction, in which a needle is inserted under the skin and a little bit of fat is suctioned out.  The liposuction procedure used specifically to create back dimples may go by a variety names, including V-spot treatment, Dimples En V, or Barbie Back surgery. This type of liposuction is usually performed under local anesthesia. Possible risks of liposuction include numbness around the liposuction site, infection of the skin, bleeding, or fat embolism (a blood vessel blockage caused by a loose piece of fat). Deoxycholic acid (Kybella) can be injected under the skin to dissolve fat without damaging the surrounding tissues. Targeted injections can be used to simulate back dimples. Deoxycholic injections require less downtime and are less expensive than liposuction, but you may need several treatments to get the results you want.  Common side effects of Kybella injections include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and hardening of the tissue around the injection. Kybella is only FDA approved for treatment of fat below the chin. However, cosmetic practitioners may still legally use it for off-label uses, such as creating back dimples. Cosmetic surgery to create back dimples can be extremely expensive. If you go the liposuction route, you could be looking at around $6000 USD. While a single treatment with Kybella costs less than liposuction, you may need multiple treatments. Because of this, Kybella can add up to about the same or even more than what you would pay for liposuction. Most insurance plans will not cover the costs of these types of procedures, so you will almost certainly have to pay the whole cost out of pocket.

TL;DR in English: Get targeted liposuction to create back dimples. Use deoxycholic acid injections as an alternative to liposuction. Be prepared for the cost.

" This is an expensive yet effective way to get straight hair if you're tired of treating your hair daily. Keep in mind that some of the chemicals found in a Brazilian Blowout have been found to be toxic. If your health conscious, you may want to avoid this treatment.  The results are normally impressive, defying the thickest and curliest of locks. It will last until your chemically treated hair grows out. Most hair types will have success with professional treatment, however, some hair of African descent or hair that is already chemically processed (with highlights or hair-dye) will leave to excessive breakage and damage. Time and cost will depend on the length and thickness of your hair. It can cost an average of $175 to $350.  Be prepared for your hair to not hold a curl after the treatment. Some will view the hair as lifeless, especially if you're used to wild curls. The flat ironing process reaches up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It can be incredibly damaging to your hair. Depending on the speed of your hair growth, you will need to visit the salon to straighten out the roots again. This will generally be less time-consuming and less expensive compared to the original treatment.  Ask your stylist when you should come in for a follow up treatment. The stylist may set your appointment before you leave the salon. You can keep doing follow up treatments for as long as you want to maintain the look of a Brazilian Blowout. Most salons will try to up-sell their products for "The Brazilian Blowout" or particular keratin straightening brands. However, you do not need expensive products to maintain straightened hair. You can stop by a local drugstore or supermarket and buy store brand products for a cheaper price than products you can purchase at a salon.  Buy drugstore brands that are silicone-based to reduce frizz. These work just as well as expensive salon products. Look for products that will be gentle on your hair but also less expensive than the salon brand.

TL;DR in English: Research different salons in your area for "The Brazilian Blowout. Book an appointment, and set aside at least 3 hours for the treatment. Maintain your straightened hair by frequenting the salon after your roots grow out. Buy additional products to maintain your straight hair. Finished.

Some plants emit a smell that bugs find repellent, which can transform your home from an insect magnet to a bug-free haven. Add a variety of indoor and outdoor plants to your property so as many insects are driven away as possible.  For outdoor plants, try lemongrass, chrysanthemums, marigolds, petunias, and pitcher plants. For houseplants, try bromeliads, citronella, catnip, jade plants, and Venus flytraps. Like plants, some herbs also have a repugnant smell to insects. Grow a few bug-repelling herbs around your home or look for natural cleaners that contain herb oils for a fragrant alternative to chemical cleaners. Bay leaf, mint, rosemary, basil, and lavender are all bug-repelling herbs. Mix lemon eucalyptus oil with water in a small spray bottle and apply it to fabric items you want to keep bugs away from. While the oil is usually effective, it does not last as long as chemical cleaners—re-apply the oil every 2 or 3 days for lasting benefits. Add around 5-10 lemon eucalyptus oil drops per 1 cup (8 oz) of water. When shopping for natural repellents, check the ingredient list to make sure it doesn't contain any strong chemicals. Check the online reviews for natural cleaners before you purchase them to make sure they're both safe and effective. When looking for natural cleaners, avoid bug repellant made of DEET, Picaridin, or IR3535.

TL;DR in English: Grow house or garden plants that repel insects. Use bug-repellent herbs or herbal cleaners to humanely get rid of bugs. Use lemon eucalyptus oil to keep bugs off of your furniture or clothing. Try natural, store-bought cleaners for an environmentally-friendly option.

The objective of Rummy 500 is to lay down sets of 3 of more cards. These can be matched sets of 3-4 cards (such as Queens, 5s, 2s, etc.), and/or sequences of 3 or more cards in the same suit (such as the 4, 5, and 6 of spades). The round is finished when one player uses all of their cards or the stock pile runs out. All points are then tallied.  These groups of 3 or more cards are called “melds.” Additionally, players can lay down 1-2 cards that match with existing melds on the table. (For example, if one player has a meld of 3 Aces, another player can lay down the fourth Ace.) Jokers are used as wildcards, and can represent any card a player wants. Whenever cards are laid down in these patterns, they accrue points. To win Rummy 500, one player must reach 500 points, over multiple rounds of play. Card values are as follows:  All face cards are worth 10 points. Aces count as 15 points when used “high.” Jokers (used as wildcards) are worth 15 points. All other cards (Ace low – 9) are worth their value (e.g., the 6 of hearts is worth 6 points.) You may choose to have all cards A-9 worth 5 points, to simplify the scoring system. When one player uses all of their cards, the round ends and points are tallied up. Players who still have cards in their hands tally the value of those cards, and then subtract that amount from their score for that round. Alternatively, if the stock pile runs out of cards, the round ends, but players do not subtract the value of their hands.  For example, if the value of a players hand equals 70 points, and the value of what they have laid down equals 100 points, they will earn 30 points for that round. If a player loses more points from their hand than they have earned in the round, the negative value will be subtracted from their overall score. There are some additional, optional rules that you may like to use. Be sure to discuss these rules and accept or reject them before you begin game play.  30 points rule: This rule states that players must earn at least 30 points in one round...

Bamboo skewers are the best option for the frame due to their size and weight, but straws or other sticks work as well .  The frame is key in holding the plastic open to keep your kite in the air. Measure the length and width of your diamond to find out the sizes of the frame pieces you'll need. To make sure the cross is even: mark the shorter of the two frame pieces at its center (½ of its length) and the other, longer frame piece at 1/4th of its length.  Make a cross or 't' with the sticks so that the two marks are on top of each other. Don't forget to double check that your frame and plastic match up. Secure the cross by winding fishing line or string around the joint of the frame and tying it off. Wiggle the frame to test the durability. If it's shaky, or you're not proud of your knot-tying skills, you can use glue at the joint and then wrap and tie string around it after the glue has dried.

This is a much simpler recipe than making your soap from scratch. It involves melting a pre-made soap base down and then modifying it with your own ingredients. Here's what you'll need:  1 lb Soap base of your choosing (suspension-friendly) 4 oz rolled oats (can add more or less to suit your tastes) 1.5 tsp almond oil (optional) 2 oz roasted almonds (optional) 1 to 2 tbsp honey (optional) Pot and/or heat-proof container for melting soap Large bowl or measuring cup for mixing Whisk or spoon for mixing Soap mould or pan measuring roughly 9 x 4 inches Wax paper or parchment paper (optional) Craft shops have many different soap base options: goat's milk, shea butter, and olive oil are popular choices. Most importantly, choose a suspension formula to ensure that your oats won't sink to the bottom of the soap during the cooling process.  Soap bases are often called “melt-and-pour” soap bases by crafters, since all you need to do is melt down the base, add your ingredients, pour it into a mould, and then let it cool. If a soap base isn't easy for you to obtain, you can also purchase a regular bar of soap and just melt it down, add the oats, and let it cool. Any soap bar will do, although one with higher-quality ingredients will make your skin feel nicer. You can use whatever moulds you like for this recipe. If you're making regular bar soap, you can get away with using a 9 x 4 inch baking pan. You can really use whatever shape you want though.  If you use metal or plastic containers that aren't specifically made for soap, be sure to line them with wax paper or parchment paper before pouring your soap into them. This will make it much easier for you to remove the soap once it's cooled. Some soap-makers even line their professional soap moulds. This helps prevent the soap from getting stuck in the corners of rectangular and square moulds. If you're using moulds with more detailed shapes, you won't want to line them as this will obscure the design. Add your oats to a coffee grinder or food processor, or crush them...

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Choose a soap base. Prepare your mould. Grind your oats. Add almonds to the oat mixture (optional). Melt the soap base down. Pour the melted soap into a large container. Stir in your oats and other optional ingredients. Pour the soap into its mould. Allow the soap to cool. Remove soap from the mould. Enjoy!

Place 2.2 pounds (1.00 kg) of pork meat such as pancetta or guanciale and 2.2 pounds (1.00 kg) of pork fat on your work surface. Cut the meat and fat into 2 in (5 cm) wide slices. The size of the slices doesn't really matter as long as you can easily fit them into your grinder. Place a few slices of the pork meat into a meat grinder and run it through. Run all of your meat and fat through the grinder and then run the ground meat and fat through the grinder again.  Use a #10 or #12 plate to grind the pork. The mixture should look like a very thick, creamy paste. Transfer the ground pork mixture to a large bowl. Add 2.2 pounds (1.00 kg) polpa di peperoncino, 1/3 cup (90 g) of salt, 1 cup (240 ml) of red wine, and paprika to taste. Use your clean hands or a large wooden spoon to thoroughly mix together the seasonings with the pork.  You can find polpa di peperoncino at gourmet food stores, Italian meat markets, or online. Consider wearing gloves if your skin is sensitive to the peppers. Refrigerate the meat mixture for half an hour while you get ready to fill the sausage casings. You'll need 4 synthetic or natural casings. You should also attach the horn to your grinder so you can begin filling the casings. To make the casings slide on easier, wipe the horn with a wet cloth.

TL;DR in English: Cut the pork and fat into slices or strips. Grind the meat and fat 2 times. Combine the pork with popa di peperoncino, salt, wine, and paprika. Rest the mixture for 30 minutes and get out 4 casings.

Depending on what state you plan on operating in, you may need a special license from the Department of Transportation. Each state has its own set of requirements, so contact your state's DOT to learn more.  If you plan on doing interstate moves, you will need to register with the U.S. Department of Transportation.  Some states require a certain amount of experience in the moving industry and/or a specified amount of startup capital, so be sure to check your state's requirements. New York, for example, requires that the owner or a key employee have at least two years of relevant experience, which must be supported with tax documents. New York also requires you to provide proof that you have the necessary equipment to run your business and enough money to cover your start-up costs. . In order to legally operate a business, you must register the business with your state. Each state in the United States has a slightly different process for registering a business. You can find complete instruction on your state's Secretary of State's website.  You can choose from several different business structure options, each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks. Sole proprietorships and partnerships offer tax benefits, but the owners maintain full liability for the company. Corporations offer protection against liability, but owners often end up paying higher taxes. Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) offer small business owners tax benefits and protection against liability. There are different legal requirements and fees for establishing each type of business.  You will need to choose a name when you incorporate your business. The name has to be distinguishable from all other businesses registered in your state, so check with your state's filing agency to make sure your desired name is available before you begin the application process. It's also a good idea to check with the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office to make sure that you will not be violating any trademarks by using the name. In addition to registering...

The board should be a smooth wooden square of 72-74 centimeters.  Each corner will have a 51 millimeter circular hole with a net under it, similar to a miniature pool table.  The board has two concentric circles in the center, one the size of a playing piece and another larger circle.  Two lines running at a diagonal from the corners create the foul lines.  Lines running parallel to the sides create small rectangles known as the “Baseline.”  Some players choose to lubricate the board with boric acid, potato starch, or chalk dust to allow the pieces to move more freely over the wood. This is representative of a traditional Carrom board.  Other boards come in variations of sizes large enough to to push pieces as you would in shuffle board.  Some boards can also be shaped in hexagons to allow for more players. The game involves nine black or dark playing pieces, nine white or  light-colored playing pieces, a red queen and a striker.  Advanced players often own a personal striker.  These can be up to four times heavier than a piece and are commonly made of bone or ivory.  Each player can bring their own striker, or one striker can be shared among all the players. The queen is the red playing piece.  Begin by placing the queen in the small circle in the center of the board.  The remaining dark and light pieces will be arranged around the queen within the larger circle. Place the first light piece along the diagonal from the queen, in the direction of the pocket where you would like to strike the piece.  Alternate dark, then light pieces in a circle, clockwise, using the queen as the center point. Place another light piece along the same diagonal as the original one, and alternate dark and light pieces clockwise around the first circle of pieces, until you have completed an outer circle of pieces. One player will hold a game piece in one hand.  The other player must guess which hand conceals the game piece.  If the player guesses correctly, they can choose whether to strike first, or allow the other player the...

Dark clothing should be stored in a dark, cool place in your home. Avoid areas prone to humidity, like bathrooms or basements. If you use hangers, opt for hangers with plush arms. These are less likely to stretch out your clothes. Only wear dark clothing for short periods to prevent the need to wash it. For example, wear a black dress or suit out for an evening and take it off immediately when you get home. Wear black pants only indoors. You can get away with wearing an item of dark clothing three or four times before washing it. Chemicals from things like makeup, hairspray, and hair gel can damage dark clothes. If you're wearing something dark for a night out, do your hair and makeup before getting dressed.

TL;DR in English: Store your clothing properly. Wash dark clothing less. Avoid doing your hair and makeup while wearing dark clothes.

Before computers, cell phones, and TVs became common, people had to find fun things to do in their free time. Your grandma probably learned many seasonal crafts, like apple picking, making Christmas tree ornaments, making leaf rubbings, making daisy chains, and more. Try these with your grandma.  You might start a conversation about seasonal crafts with your grandma by saying something like, "Before cell phones and TV, what did you do to pass time in the spring? Can you teach me springtime crafts?" Seasonal crafts are especially popular around major holidays, like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Independence Day, and so on. Try making holiday oriented crafts with grandma. Baking is an activity many grandmothers enjoy, and yours might too. As an added bonus, when you finish baking, you can look forward to a delicious treat. Ask your grandma if you can bake your and her favorite recipes together.  While baking, you'll have plenty of time to talk, but you can also groove to music at low volume. You could even alternate between your favorite albums and grandma's. This is also a good opportunity to help grandma out. Often, you'll need special ingredients for certain dishes. While at the store, ask grandma if there are any heavy groceries she needs help with. Your grandma has had a long time to perfect her recipes and become a cooking pro. By learning popular family recipes, you'll be preserving your family traditions while having fun in the kitchen.  Small adjustments to recipes are often what makes them special. Ask your grandma what she does differently or adds to family recipes to make them taste so good. You never know when a recipe and cooking lessons from grandma might come in handy. Your friends or significant other might be impressed by your skill in the kitchen. If your grandma is a fan of cooking shows, you and grandma might have fun pretending that you are putting on your own cooking show as you make family recipes. Digging into the soil and working with plants has a relaxing and uplifting effect....

TL;DR in English: Make seasonal crafts. Learn to bake. Master popular family recipes. Help grandma in the garden.

An offset bend requires you to bend the conduit in two places at opposite angles, usually between 10 and 45 degrees. Use this to shift the conduit to avoid an obstacle or change elevation, the continue in its original direction. Measure the distance between the two parallel locations where the conduit will run before and after the bend. Measure at right angles, not along the bend. Always measure between two identical positions on the conduit (base-to-base, center-to-center, or top-to-top). Do not rely on the nominal diameter of your conduit, which is slightly smaller than its actual size. As a general rule, the shorter the offset distance, the smaller the angle. An offset of a few inches can use a 10º or 22.5º angle, but an offset of several feet may call for 30º or 45º. Smaller angles will "use up" less of your conduit, but may be more difficult to bend precisely. If your conduit layout requires precise measurements, calculate the amount of shrinkage, or additional length required for the bend:  A 10º angle uses an additional 1/16" of length per inch of offset depth. A 22.5º angle uses 3/16" per inch of offset depth. A 30º angle uses ¼" per inch. A 45º angle uses ⅜" per inch. A 60º angle uses ½" per inch. To find the total shrinkage, multiply the offset depth in inches by the shrinkage value above. Find the total shrinkage using the instructions in the previous step. Add this number to the distance from the end of your conduit to the obstacle. Mark the conduit at this length. Here's an example for a conduit you plan to bend at a 30º angle to overcome a 10" step:  The shrinkage for a 30º angle is ¼ inch per inch of rise. (See previous step.) Multiply ¼ by 10 inches of rise: ¼ x 10" = 2.5 inches. This is the total shrinkage. Let's say the conduit will run from an electrical box 40 inches from the step. Add this distance to the shrinkage: 40 inches + 2.5 inches = 42.5 inches. Measure 42.5 inches from the end of the conduit and mark it with a marker or pencil. Each angle has its own offset multiplier, listed...

TL;DR in English: Use offset bends to shift the position of the conduit. Measure the depth of the offset. Choose an angle for the bend. Find the position of the far bend. Use the offset multiplier to find the distance between the two bends. Mark the position of the near bend. Bend the far bend using the stub up system. Flip the conduit and bender upside down. Roll the conduit 180º. Create the second bend by hand.

This will not be easy if you're not used to doing it but it's a skill you can practice and your bossy person is as good a practice target as any. It is important that the controlling person is aware that you won't tolerate being bossed about; the longer you let it slide, the more it becomes the established pattern and it's assumed you're accepting of it.  Approach the controlling person in private to explain your concerns. Do not make a public affair out of this. Keep the conversation focused on how the controlling behavior is affecting you; do not insult the person by calling him or her bossy. For example, if you felt your boss was always telling you what to do without acknowledging your skills, you might say something like: "I have worked in this capacity for five years and I am good at this job. However, when you tell me to give you the results so that you can rework everything, I feel as if my qualifications are being overlooked and that my input is not valued. Basically, I don't feel that I am trusted to come up with what I am well trained to do and that I am not respected. I would like to be spoken to and treated with respect." It's important to behave calmly and patiently with a control freak, even if you feel like screaming on the inside.  Getting angry just doesn't work. It can also be helpful to give the person a wide berth when it's clear that they are tired, stressed out or unwell. If you start to get aggravated, the bossy person's behavior will only become more intense. It's important to take deep breaths, avoid aggressive language, and to keep your voice steady and even.  If you seem obviously aggravated or upset, then the person will see that he or she has really gotten to you, which will only fuel the behavior. Getting upset or angry will also make the bossy person view you as weak and even more easy to control. You don't want to give off this impression, or it will make you even more of a target. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is just to avoid the behavior. Though talking to the person...

TL;DR in English: Assert yourself. Maintain your calm. Avoid the person as much as you can. Monitor the anxiety levels of the controlling person. Look for the positives. Praise the controlling person when it's deserved. Understand that your voice may not be heard.

Going into a date feeling negative or too stressed won’t make for a good date. To help combat this negativity, try to get yourself into a positive mood before going on the date. Do something before your date that makes you happy and boosts your mood.  For example, you can put on your favorite music that makes you feel attractive or happy, dance around your house, or put on your favorite outfit. Focus on your positive qualities. Look in the mirror and give yourself a few compliments. List a few positive qualities about yourself. Everyone gets nervous on a first date. It’s completely normal. That means you shouldn’t obsess about your anxiety. You’re not going to ruin the date, and you can’t know if the date is going to be a disaster or not. Think about how often you feel anxiety and everything turns out perfectly fine. Instead of the anxiety, think about how it’s exciting to be going out on a date and meeting someone new, even if it doesn’t turn into a love connection. .

Don’t let everything ride on this one date, and it may help lessen your anxiety. Just because your first date isn’t perfect doesn’t mean there isn’t a chance for a second date. Sometimes, it takes a few dates to start connecting well. Don’t get upset if...

TL;DR in English:


Take all of your belongings out of their current locations. Organize your belongings. Try to get rid of as many items as possible. Put all the boxes except the "Keep" boxes in the right place.

Before you get started, make sure the wall you're finishing has already been taped and sanded, and any seams have been touched up with a base coat. That way, all you'll have to worry about is spreading the plaster, which will require your full attention.  Plaster is best applied to wood or metal lath, or bare walls stripped of paint and wallpaper. If the wall has semi-gloss or gloss paint on it, you should prime it before adding plaster.  Use plastic sheeting and painter's tape to cover areas you don't want plastered. Working with plaster can get pretty messy. To safeguard your surroundings and avoid an extensive cleanup process later on, it's a good idea to lay down a drop cloth or tarp. Make sure you have all the tools and equipment you need on hand to avoid wasting valuable time searching later on.  Consider putting on a change of old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. It can also help to wear a respirator and eye protection, if you're sensitive to dust. It's best to mix plaster outdoors to minimize cleaning up the splatter from the mixing paddle. The exact size of the bucket you'll need will depend on the amount of plaster you're preparing. In most cases, however, a 5 or 7 gallon (18.9 or 26.5 L) bucket will be ideal. If you're using a smaller bucket, you may have to work in batches.  Keep in mind that plaster expands, so it's better to have a couple more gallons (around 7 L) worth of room than you need just to be on the safe side.  Hose out the bucket to flush away sediment and other residue if you've previously used it for other projects. Add 1–2 gallons (3.8–7.6 L) (3.8-7.6L) of room-temperature water. It's essential that you add the plaster to the water, not the other way around. This will help prevent troublesome lumps and give you more control over how thick the mixture turns out. If the water is too cold, it can make the plaster harder to mix. If it's too warm, it may cause it to set prematurely. Scoop out a small amount of plaster from the bag using a plastic cup and dump it in the bucket....

TL;DR in English: Prepare the wall for plastering. Protect your work area. Set a large bucket outdoors to do your mixing in. Fill the bucket with clean water. Add plaster to the water gradually.

Some people who have a hard time digesting lactose (found in dairy products) find that combining milk with food makes it easier to digest. These over-the-counter pills can be taken right before meals to help your body digest milk and dairy products. Some dairies and milk producers add lactase directly to milk, so you can get the taste and nutritional value of milk without the risk of digestive problems. Unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk and rice milk are all great alternatives. If drinking milk is not an option, opt for other milk products, like yogurt or cheese. Even though these foods are still made with milk, they may be easier to digest.

TL;DR in English: Drink a glass of milk with food. Take lactase enzyme tablets. Buy lactose-free milk. Try other dairy products.

Try to remember if any friends or family were scheduled to stop by. Check your calendar to see if you made an appointment for someone to come work on your plumbing, electric, or some other maintenance issue. You might be forgetting about plans you made with someone. Try to get a glimpse of whoever's knocking. If you don't recognize the person on the other side of the door, don't open it yet. Go up to a window near the door and see if you can make out whoever's knocking. Don't open the door if you're not confident you know the person. If you can't see the person knocking through a window, try to get a glimpse of their car. You might recognize it as a friend's or family member's vehicle, or it could have the name of a utility company or other business on it. If you don't recognize the person knocking on your door, or you don't have a peephole and you can't see them through a window, ask who's knocking. Stand close to the door so you can hear their response clearly. If you don't recognize their voice or you're still not sure who they are after they tell you, don't open the door.  For example, you can go up to the door and ask: “Who is it?” or “Can I help you?” If you have an intercom system hooked up to your front door, use it to talk to the person knocking so you can hear them more clearly. Don't answer the door unless you're confident the person on the other side is who they say they are. If you're not sure, ignore the knocking until the person leaves. Don't worry about accidentally ignoring a friend or neighbor -- if it's someone you know that needs to get in touch with you, they'll call you on the phone. if they won't stop knocking. If the knocking persists or you feel like you're in danger, call the police. Don't answer the door until the police arrive. Let the person on the other side of the door know that you've contacted the police and they're on their way.

TL;DR in English: Ask yourself who could be knocking on your door. Look through the peephole. Look through a window if you don't have a peephole. Ask who's there. Ignore them if you're unsure. Call the police

Plugs are great for projects where you may need to access the screws again for disassembly. They are also a good option if you don’t need the screws to be completely invisible. Purchase plugs that are the same material as your project’s surface. They’ll be available at a hardware or home improvement store in a variety of bit sizes.  For example, use oak wood plugs if you’re attaching oak treads to a staircase and want to hide your screws. You can also use screw cap covers, which come in a variety of colors and materials and fit into the head of a Philips head screw. Many can be painted or stained to match the look of your project. For custom projects, you can also make your own plugs, provided you have a drill press. Just purchase a plug cutter for your drill press that matches the counterbore size of your screw holes.  Clamp a piece of wood that matches your project to your press table, set your press to medium speed, and use steady pressure to slowly feed the plug cutter into the wood until it bottoms out the wood.  To remove the cut plugs from the wood strip, first tape the cut surface so the plugs won’t roll away when you remove them. Use a bandsaw to cut through the piece of wood near its bottom, which is the side opposite the one you made your plug cuts. Once you slice through the wood, you can remove the plugs by pulling off the tape and pushing out any that don’t stick with a screwdriver. Another option is to buy a wood dowel in a similar color to your project, the same size as your counterbore. After putting in the screw, apply a little wood glue to the counterbore and tap in the dowel. Cut the dowel flush with the surface and sand it smooth. You’ll need to counterbore your screw holes in order to secure your plugs. It’s best to choose a piece of scrap wood and test out your counterbore bit and plugs. That way, you’ll be sure that your plugs fit well into your counterbores without ruining your project. After testing on scrap wood, drill a counterbore into the surface where you’ll be hiding the screw...

TL;DR in English: Acquire your plugs. Make custom wood plugs. Test your counterbore and plug in a piece of scrap wood. Drill a shallow counterbore to house the plug. Drill a pilot hole for the screw in the center of the counterbore. Drive the screws to the bottom of the counterbore. Insert the plug into the counterbore. Sand the surface to hide your work.

Verbally or visually processing your feelings can help you get to the source of them. For example, you can identify if your guilt is out of proportion to your actions by writing out the situation in a journal. Journaling or talking about your guilty feelings with someone else can help you recognize whether they are valid or not.  Developing a regular habit of journaling or talking to someone can help you process feelings of guilt so that you stop feeling this way. Journaling also gives you something to look back on to help you see your progress.  Find a psychologist to discuss your feelings with if nothing you do at home is making these feelings go away. The reality is often that you are not at fault, especially when you truly do not know the source of your guilt. It is helpful to take a moment and do a reality check when you’re feeling mysterious guilt. The truth about what is happening around you can show you that it’s not your fault. In these cases, give yourself permission to let go of the guilt.  Perform a reality check by sitting down and considering what is truly happening, not what you imagine is happening. You might need the help of a friend or family member to help you see things the way they truly are. Ask someone to sit down with you and give their perspective. For example, if you usually are very organized and one day you miss an appointment, you should not feel guilty. You are allowed to make mistakes. Let go of guilt by recognizing your responsibility, expressing your sadness that the situation occurred, and focusing on the present. One technique for processing guilt is to look at guilt as a judgement against yourself. To help yourself stop feeling guilty, take a moment to release yourself from your own judgements.  Make a list of all the things you feel guilty about or recognize that you have judged yourself for. It could be as broad as telling yourself that you are a bad person, or as specific as telling yourself you are stupid for dropping your coffee this morning. Sit down and say out loud,...

TL;DR in English: Write or talk about your guilty feelings. Conduct a reality check. Try releasing yourself from your own judgement. Visualize your guilt as a car.

This may seem painful and like you're creating a bigger mess, but if you really want to organize your room, you have to start from scratch. Though you may be overwhelmed by the giant pile of stuff you've created on your floor, desk, or bed, rest assured that you'll find the right place for everything soon enough.  Remove everything out of your closet. Your clothes, shoes, and anything you keep in your closet can go in a pile on the floor in front of the closet. Remove everything from your desk. You can place the papers and anything else you find on the desk's surface. Remove everything from your dresser. If you're creating too much of a mess, remove one drawer at a time. Take any other items that are laying around and place them on your bed and on the floor. If taking everything out of its place at once is overwhelming and is taking up too much space, you can tackle your room by taking apart one area at a time. Before you begin to figure out where everything should go, you should get a number of boxes and label them for different purposes. Crates or plastic bins will work just as well, but boxes are best because you can just recycle them when you're done organizing and won't have to deal with more clutter. Here's how you should label the boxes:   Keep. The items that you keep will be items that you use on a regular basis. If you've used the item in the last two or three months, you should keep it.  Store. These are things that you can't bear to throw away, such as something with sentimental value, but which you rarely use. You can also store away a large portion of your clothes that you won't wear until the next season or two. If it's the middle of the summer, you can store your winter sweaters, and if it's the dead of winter, you can store your summer dresses.  Give or Sell. These are items that may benefit someone or could be sold, but which you don't need any more. You may have a nice sweater that you don't fit into anymore that you can donate, or an old textbook that you can sell.  Throw Out. These are...
