Make sure to store your kerosene in a safe container labeled for kerosene or flammable liquid. Store your kerosene in a safe place. Keep kerosene for one to three months. Don't throw your kerosene away – no matter how old it is.

There are three types of fountain pens on the market today: cartridge, converter, and piston. The different types refer to the different ink delivery methods, and the method will determine how you refill your pen when the ink runs out.  Cartridge pens are the most common today, and they are the easiest to refill. To write with this type of pen, you simply purchase pre-filled ink cartridges, so when one runs out, all you do is replace the cartridge. Converter cartridges are reusable cartridges that get inserted into a cartridge pen. These are great for people who don’t mind refilling the ink and don’t want to throw away a cartridge every time the ink runs out. Piston pens are similar to converter cartridges, but the pen comes with its own built-in refilling system, so you don’t have to replace the reusable cartridge with a separately purchased converter. Remove the cap from the nib, and, if necessary, the cap off the back of the pen that covers the end knob. Twist the knob (most likely in a counter-clockwise direction) to extend the piston toward the front of the pen. When that’s done:  Dip the entire nib into an ink jar, making sure to cover the hole on the back of the nib. Turn the piston knob in a clockwise direction to draw ink into the chamber. When the chamber is full, pull the pen out of the ink. Turn the piston in a counter-clockwise direction again and let a few drops of ink back into the bottle. This will help remove air bubbles. Clean the nib with a cloth to remove any excess ink. Converters work in one of two ways, either with a piston mechanism or an air-bladder mechanism (also called squeeze converters). To refill an air-bladder pen, dip the nib into the ink bottle and:   Slowly press the converter at the back of the pen, and wait for air bubbles to appear in the ink. Slowly release the converter and wait for the ink to be drawn into the chamber. Repeat until the chamber is full.

TL;DR in English: Determine what kind of fountain pen you have. Refill ink in a piston pen. Refill the ink in a converter cartridge.

Wash the pitcher in the sink with hot soapy water. Plastic Brita pitchers are not made to withstand excessively hot water, so never clean your Brita filter by putting it in the dishwasher. If you do, your pitcher is likely to melt and warp, making it useless. When you wash the pitcher, use a basic dishwashing soap that is non-abrasive. Any type of liquid dish soap with mild cleaning ingredients works fine. Use a soft cloth or sponge as opposed to steel wool or any other harsh scrubbers. Dawn, Palmolive, and Joy are examples of mild dish soaps which are good to use. After you have washed the pitcher, rinse it thoroughly. To let the pitcher dry, set it upside down in a drying rack or on a clean towel on your counter or table. Drying the pitcher with a towel may leave small fibers which will get into your water. If you are in a hurry, dry the pitcher with a paper towel to avoid leaving cloth fibers.

TL;DR in English: Wash the pitcher by hand. Use a mild dish detergent and a soft cloth. Rinse the pitcher and dry it upside down.

If you forgot some type of worksheet or essential assignment sheet, call up a friend. Ask if you can borrow their worksheet for a few minutes. Then take the worksheet to a nearby office supply store and have it photocopied.  If you have a scanner and printer or a copy machine, you can complete this task at home. Most printing places charge $0.10 for a single black and white copy. If you do not have access to a copy machine, or do not have a ride to your friend’s house, you can ask them to take a picture of the worksheet or scan it and send it to you by text or email. If you can’t print it out, you can copy it by hand using your best handwriting. Does your school use an online platform to post assignments and grades? If so, it is possible your teacher posted a copy of this worksheet to that page. Log in, look for the name of this assignment or the chapter it corresponds to, and locate the worksheet. Print it out at home. If the worksheet was produced by the company who made your textbook, you can likely locate a copy of it online. Search by the publisher, textbook title, and subject matter or chapter you are working on. Locate a PDF of the worksheet and print it out at home. Often times, your teacher will have an electronic copy of the worksheet that they can send to you. Email your teacher right away and request a copy of the worksheet.   Be sure to use clear grammar, complete sentences, and good etiquette in your email. You can only use this method once or twice before your teacher will become frustrated with you. Your teacher may be less than pleased that you don’t have the worksheet if you’ve had an extended period of time to complete it rather than if it was assigned that day.

TL;DR in English: Photocopy a friend’s worksheet for an easy solution. Look on the website for your course, if applicable. Find a PDF of the worksheet online if possible. Email your teacher as a last resort.

Especially if you are lending a large sum of money (what “large” means depends on what you believe is a large sum), it is critical that you create a document that lays out the terms of the loan. This document will lay out who is lending the money, and to whom, how much money is being lent, when the borrower is expected to begin paying back the money, and when the sum should be paid in full. The document should also include any interest that is to be repaid.  Understand that this document will, most importantly, protect you in the event that your friend is unwilling to pay you back. However, it also serves the purpose of making the terms of the loan clear and explicit, which will, hopefully, help avoid any misunderstandings. Remember to have the borrower sign and date the document, as it will not be enforceable without their signature. Most states follow the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The UCC states that in order to be legally enforceable the document must include the following information:  It must be a written document that is signed by the borrower. You, as the lender, may also sign the document, but you don’t have to. The document must promise the payment of money. The document must state a fixed amount of money (with or without interest). There must be a definite time that the money should be repaid. The money must be payable to a holder. As the lender of the money and the holder of the document, you are the holder. The document should only pertain to the money to be repaid. That is, there should be no other acts included in the document. In the document, you should lay out when you expect to start being repaid, and when your friend should pay you in full by. Make sure to include any interest that you expect to receive, as well as what the consequences are if a payment is not received on time.  For example, if you lend your friend $500 on February 1, you might lay out a plan that says that they are to begin paying you back on April 1 and that they are to pay you $100 each month with 0.5% interest on...

TL;DR in English: Create a contract. Make sure that the document is legally enforceable. Include a repayment plan. Get the document notarized.

Prostatitis, inflammation of the prostate because of infection, is a cause of slow or weak urine flow in men. You usually also have pain in your groin or pelvis, and possibly chills or a fever. See your doctor to get checked if you have these symptoms associated with difficulty urinating. Prostatitis will be treated with antibiotics if it’s caused by a bacterial infection. Urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are much more common in women than men. UTIs can cause inflammation or swelling that blocks urine flow. Visit your doctor for treatment if you have symptoms of a UTI such as:  A strong urge to urinate Burning or pain when you urinate Urinating often in small amounts, or having weak flow Urine that looks cloudy, pink, red, or brown Pain in the center of your pelvis A strong smell to your urine Sometimes if you’re constipated, hardened stool can push against your urethra or bladder and block urine from leaving your body. If you’re unable to urinate or have a weak flow and you’re also constipated, try to alleviate your constipation, then see if you can urinate freely.  Drink extra water, eat prunes, and avoid dairy to try to alleviate constipation. Take an over-the-counter laxative like Miralax or Colace, or try a Fleet enema. Ask the pharmacist for suggestions. If you’ve had past surgeries in the area of your lower abdomen, scar tissue may have formed. See your doctor for evaluation and discuss any illnesses, surgeries, or medical problems you have had with your bladder, kidneys, urethra, vagina, or prostate. Scar tissue can sometimes be removed with a minor surgery, which will allow for more room for urine flow. Scarred areas can also be open up with dilators, which stretch the area to allow urine to flow better. These procedures often need to be repeated over time. Stay away from antihistamines like Benadryl, and decongestants like pseudoephedrine found in many cold medicines. Ingredients in these make it harder to urinate.

TL;DR in English: Get medical treatment for weak flow with groin pain. Get treated if it burns when you pee. Treat your constipation. Get examined for scar tissue. Stop medications that decrease urination.

Kerosene containers must also be provided with an approved label, as required by federal and state authorities. Storing kerosene in anything other than an approved container is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Since kerosene is a flammable liquid, it should be stored at room temperature and away from potential heat sources like the sun, hot water heaters, space heaters, furnaces, or ignition sources. This safety precaution will help keep you and your family safe in case of a spill. Storing kerosene for longer than three months can be dangerous, as the old fuel can break down and cause the growth of bacteria or mold. Ideally, you should buy high-quality kerosene in small quantities and store it in its original certified container. If you change the container of the kerosene, it might get mistaken for another substance – which could be dangerous. If you have kerosene left over after a few months, it's best for you to properly dispose of it. If you throw kerosene away, it will end up in landfills or incinerators, or may even be dumped into rivers. When kerosene is disposed improperly, it can poison the air, soil, water, wild animals, and even people and their pets.

TL;DR in English:


Check if he seems nervous around you. See if he tries to join your conversations. Watch to see if he tries to talk to your friends. Look for compliments in his conversation. Ask him if he likes you.

Natural oils such as neem and flaxseed make excellent base for ointments. Experiment with different combinations of herbs and oils.  Neem oil is an astringent that helps protect your skin. It is commonly used in Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) medicine to treat lipomas.  Flaxseed oil has high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help to reduce inflammation. Be sure to buy flaxseed oil certified to be free of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury. Blend 1 teaspoon of chickweed to 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Apply the salve to the lipoma.  Chickweed is used to reduce fats.  You can also use 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste. Put 1 teaspoon of turmeric together with 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Smooth the ointment onto the lipoma. Your skin will turn a bit orange or yellow because of the turmeric. Cover the lipoma with a bandage to protect your clothes.  Turmeric, like neem oil, is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine. For a paste, add 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to the turmeric. Mix ½ to 1 teaspoon of dried sage with 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Coat the lipoma with the balm.  Substitute 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea for neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste. Sage is used in traditional Chinese medicine to dissolve fatty tissue.

TL;DR in English: Create an ointment using natural oils and herbs. Mix chickweed with a natural oil or tea base. Try creating an ointment with turmeric. Add dried sage to neem oil or flaxseed oil.

Some serious medical conditions such as hypothyroidism or Cushing's syndrome can cause your metabolism to slow. If you have an unusually slow metabolic rate, or if your metabolism has slowed significantly in a short period of time, you should consult a doctor.  Your doctor will have to take a blood test to measure your thyroid hormone levels to determine whether your thyroid is producing decreased levels of thyroid hormones that are causing your metabolism to slow. Keep in mind that hypothyroidism is fairly common – 1% to 2% of the population in iodine replete cultures. Cushing's is less common. Even if you don't have a medical condition that is causing your metabolism to slow, your doctor may be able to help you get back on track by providing suggestions or advice on how to boost your metabolism. Your metabolism often will slow when you diet because you're consuming too few calories. To combat this slow-down, make sure you're consuming at least as many calories per day as your body requires to function normally.  The difference between your BMR and the total calories you burn each day represents the range in which you can cut calories to lose weight. If you dip below your BMR, your metabolism will slow and your weight loss will plateau. If you're dieting, be prepared to do the calculations regularly as your BMR will change when you lose weight. People who are heavier tend to have a higher metabolism than people who are lighter. This change in BMR may be part of the reason you find it easy to lose weight in the beginning, but then plateau and find it difficult to lose weight the further along in your diet plan you get. While fiber may not necessarily boost your metabolism, if you eat more fiber, you'll gain less weight over time. Fiber also may increase how much fat your body burns. Cut out white bread and white rice, which lack the fiber your body needs.  Switching to whole wheat bread and pasta and brown rice can up your fiber intake. You'll also increase your fiber by eating more fruits and vegetables. Try...

TL;DR in English: Rule out chronic medical conditions. Use your BMR to diet effectively. Eat more fiber. Drink cold water. Include protein with every meal. Make cardio and strength-training a regular part of your daily routine. Find ways to reduce stress

Before you begin cleaning the washing machine, make sure the machine is completely powered off. Just to be on the safe side, you may want to consider unplugging the machine from the electrical outlet. Cleaning the machine while it is still on could create a dangerous situation for you or damage the machine. Accumulation of mold and mildew on the components of the washing machine is a major cause for unpleasant odor. Use a clean sponge or washrag to wipe down to exterior surface of the machine. Make a mixture of 1  c (240 mL) warm water and one tablespoon of bleach and dip the sponge in it. Be sure to wring out any excess water before you begin scrubbing.  You should wear rubber gloves any time you are handling bleach cleaning solution. Try to get the bleach cleaner in all of the cracks and crannies of the washing machine. You can use a Q-tip dipped in the bleach/water solution to get into really hard-to-reach areas. Get rid of any dirt or grime from the washing machine gasket and the seal at the opening of the machine. Remove the gasket and use a damp cloth or paper towel to scrub away any residue. You can also add a tiny bit of bleach cleaning solution to warm water and use this to clean it.  A dirty seal is one of the biggest problems that leads to odor in washing machines. Cleaning this regularly can really help a lot.

TL;DR in English: Unplug the washing machine. Wipe down the outside surface. Clean the gasket and seal.

A guy who laughs, stutters, makes weird jokes, or avoids eye contact when you talk is probably nervous around you. A lot of middle school boys are really nervous around girls they like, so this is a good sign! Do you ever find him butting into your conversations with a friend? This could mean he is trying to spark a conversation with you and wants to talk. Let him! Joke around a bit to let him know you accept him. Is he coming up often and talking to your friends but not necessarily you? He may be working his way around to you, and using your friends as the excuse to be nearby. It can be hard to tell if he likes you or just likes your friend. If he talks to the same friend every time, he probably likes them. But if he talks to a different friend every time, he might like you! People usually don’t say nice things about people they don’t like. If he’s giving you compliments when he doesn’t have to, he is probably interested in you!For example, things like "I really liked your presentation" or "That jacket looks nice on you" might indicate that he likes you. This takes some courage, but if you’re already talking to him and he’s showing a lot of signs of liking you, it’s okay to just ask! He might get embarrassed, but if he really likes you, he’ll say so.  You can just say “I like you a lot. Do you like me?” It’s best to tell him you like him too first, otherwise, he might think you’re making fun of him. If he avoids answering or even says no, just play it off as a joke. You can say “Just kidding!” and change the subject.

Good moral character generally means that you don’t break the law and you meet all of your legal obligations, such as paying taxes and making child support payments. If you have a criminal conviction, consult with an immigration attorney. Members of the military must show that they can read, write, and speak English. They also must show knowledge of U.S. government and history, called civics. You’ll have to pass exams in both English and civics. You can find information about the exams online. If you served in peacetime, you can apply for naturalization if you meet the following requirements:  Serve honorably for at least one year. Obtain a green card. File an application while still in service or within six months of separation. The requirements are different if you are serving during a period of hostilities. The U.S. has currently been in such a period since 2002, and it will last until the President designates that it is over. In this situation, all members of the military can immediately apply to become naturalized. Every installation should have a person to contact. They will usually be in personnel or the Judge Advocate General’s Office. You will need to complete Form N-400 and Form N-426. Contact them and receive a packet of information. Your filing fee is waived.  USCIS has customer service specialists who can answer questions from military members and their families. Call 1-877-247-4645 Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. You can also email militaryinfo.nsc@dhs.gov. Before you can become a citizen, you must show attachment to the U.S. Constitution by swearing an oath of allegiance.

Were you born in a state whose right to citizenship you have never exercised? If so, then you might be eligible for citizenship through an unrestricted right of soil, also known as unconditional jus soli. This means that you have an automatic birthright to be a citizen of that country because you were born there. For example, if you are currently a British citizen who was born in the United States, you are entitled to American citizenship through unrestricted jus soli.  Research the immigration laws of your country of birth. Most countries do not grant citizenship through right of soil, so it is important to research the laws of the country in which you were born.  30 of the world's 194 countries practice unconditional jus soli. Of these 30 countries, Canada and the United States (as of 2010) are the only countries among the world's advanced economies that practice unconditional jus soli and grant citizenship to most children born on its soil, including children born to persons present in the state illegally.  However, children born in the United States to foreign diplomats and foreign heads of state do not acquire citizenship through right of soil. You may find that your country of birth, which is not the country whose citizenship rights you exercise, grants you a right to its citizenship through a right of soil. If so, discover how you can exercise that right.  One way to exercise a right to citizenship is to apply for a passport. You can apply for a passport through the state's embassy or consulate in your current country of citizenship and/or residence. You may be asked to present an original or certified copy of your birth certificate to the consulate or embassy as evidence. For example, if you apply for a Canadian passport, then you can present a birth certificate issued by the Canadian province or territory in which you were born. This serves as evidence of your Canadian citizenship because Canada practices unrestricted jus soli. Find out the laws regarding dual citizenship of both the state of your...

TL;DR in English: Consider whether your country of birth grants you a second citizenship. Find out how to exercise citizenship through unrestricted right of soil. Research the laws of both states regarding dual citizenship.

You can perform certain operations on a matrix to transform it while keeping it equivalent to the original. These are called elementary operations. To solve a 2x3 matrix, for example, you use elementary row operations to transform the matrix into a triangular one. Elementary operations include:  swapping two rows. multiplying a row by a number different from zero. multiplying one row and then adding to another row. You want to produce zero in your second row, so multiply in a way that lets you do that. For example, say you have a matrix that looks like this:You can keep the first row and use it to produce zero in the second row. To do that, first multiply the second row by two, as follows: In order to get to zero for the first row, you may need to multiply again, using the same principle. In the example above, multiply the second row by -1, as follows:When you complete the multiplication, your new matrix looks like this: Next, add the first and second rows to produce zero in the first column of the second row. In the example above, add the two rows together as follows: At this point, you have a triangular matrix. You can use that matrix to get a new linear system. The first column corresponds to the unknown x, and the second column corresponds to the unknown y. The third column corresponds to the free member of an equation. For the example above, your new system would therefore look like this: Using your new system, determine which variable can be determined easily, and solve for it. In the example above, you’ll want to “backsolve” – moving from the last equation to the first when solving for your unknowns. The second equation gives you an easy solution for y; since the x has been removed, you can see that y = 2. Once you’ve determined one of the variables, you can substitute its value into the other equation to solve for the other variable. In the example above, replace the y with a 2 in the first equation to solve for x as follows:

TL;DR in English: Understand elementary operations. Multiply the second row by a non-zero number. Multiply again. Add the first row to the second row. Write down the new linear system for the triangular matrix. Solve for one of the variables. Substitute to solve for the second variable.

Include your counselor and/or psychiatrist, your medical doctor, and some close family members and friends.  Be realistic about how each person can help you. It’s important to have more than one person on this list, because it is unrealistic to think that one person will be able to help you all the time. This will drain a lot of their energy and could potentially strain your relationship. Think about people who will be supportive and non-judgmental. People who might make you feel more anxious or upset may not be the best choice for your support network. You may choose to share your diagnosis of depression with close family members or friends. This will help them understand what you’re going through. This will also help them understand that you can’t just “snap out of it,” but that you have a medical diagnosis for your condition. Don’t exclude people because you “don’t want to worry them.” If they are close family members or friends, they want to know how you’re feeling and will be willing to help you. You may want to keep some of the details of your depression private, sharing them only with your counselor. If you don’t feel like sharing with other people, such as your coworkers, you can just say that you’re going through a difficult time but that you’re working on making things better. When you live with depression, it can periodically be difficult to go out and participate in activities. But it is important to continue doing the things that you enjoy in order to build supportive relationships. Identify a couple of activities that you like or things you’d like to try. This may be taking a class, volunteering at an animal shelter, or even going to a movie with a friend. Set goals for yourself to do at least one favorite activity per week. A pet can be another important part of your support network. Having a pet is recognized by the National Institute for Mental Health as beneficial for people living with depression. Pets can provide you with constant companionship. In addition, even if you don’t feel up to...

The rich, fruitiness of red wine sangria perfectly balances spicy dishes. Serve sangria with chorizo, albondigas, or chilaquiles. The sweetness of the sangria will balance out the spiciness of the dish. Seafood wonderfully complements the cool sweetness of white wine sangria. Serve it with calamari, scallops, or mussels. Select fruits that will match or complement the ones you put in your sangria, such as pears, figs, apples, or strawberries. Choose cheeses like brie, Roquefort, gorgonzola, and goat cheese. Don’t forget to add some crackers, too! The spices and complex flavors in hot sangria pair well with rich and spicy foods like mole. A pepper and chocolate mole would be a great complement to hot sangria made with red wine and oranges. The sweetness of sangria makes it a great drink to have with dessert. A fruity dessert, such as a fresh berry tart, baked apples, or poached pears in wine are perfect pairings.

TL;DR in English: Serve red wine sangria with spicy dishes. Pair white wine sangria with seafood. Enjoy rosé sangria with a fruit and cheese plate. Try hot sangria with mole. Eat dessert with your sangria.

It’s important to have range as a singer. Being able to perform lots of different songs, genres, and event types will help you to land more gigs.  Familiarize yourself with typical weddings, bar mitzvahs, or piano bar songs, for example. You should have at least 40 popular songs memorized and performance-ready for these types of events and venues. Turn these songs into a typed list. It will be helpful to have a list ready of all the songs and genres you're comfortable with. Use genre or event types (jazz, rock, wedding, bar mitzvah, etc.) to categorize your list. Include your preferred key along with the name of each song. While a formal education isn’t required for a successful singing career, taking some singing or music classes might help you build your skillset.  If you are interested in pursuing a college degree, consider majoring or minoring in music, voice, or another performance discipline. You can also pursue lessons outside of the schoolroom by getting private vocal coaches and teachers to help you learn the basics. Learn to “Sight Sing.” Many auditions and even gigs will require you to perform new songs after only briefly looking at the music and words. This may seem like an impossible task, but this type of sight-reading can actually be learned and practiced.   How to Sight Sing If there is a choir in your school, church, or community contact them and let them know you're interested joining. This won't be a paid experience, but you will earn some valuable experience! Having a polished portfolio of all your singing credentials will help you show prospective employers that you’ve got the chops for the gig.  In addition to your name and contact information, list your vocal range, singing styles, past gigs, previous training, and any extra qualifications (like if you can also play an instrument).  Include a professional 8-by-10 headshot. This will help prospective employers remember your face and show some of your personality. Make a quality demo tape.

Chances are that you have played it and the quality is questionable enough for you to be reading this article to make sure. Some additional questions to ask are:  Can you see through the DVD? If you can see through it very well, it is most likely not authentic, though this is not always the case.     Is it colorful (blue, gold, purple, etc.; instead of silver)? If it is any of the colors listed above, it is most likely not a mass-produced DVD.     Hold the DVD up to the light and tilt it to one side. You may be able to see a well-known manufacturer’s name, such as Maxell. If the disc has such a name, then the DVD was a burnable disc, and the disc’s contents are counterfeit.     Check the cover. Real movies have high-quality manufacturer photos, and often fake ones have blurry, lack of color, and less detail type covers. This will tell you that the cover probably was taken with a camera. If the movie is without security labels, the movie may be a counterfeit. In Windows, click on My Computer, then click your player’s drive. It will give you the size of the disc. There should be close to 5 GB used on a single layer or more on a double layer (but this varies depending on running time). Then go through Windows Explorer and right click on various files stored on the DVD to check properties. Look for the creation date. If the DVD is out of print, for example, and the date is recent, something is not right. However, this will probably not work with Disney imported DVD’s with copy protection and results may be misleading.

TL;DR in English: Examine the actual DVD if you have already bought it. Put the DVD into your DVD drive. If the spine of the DVD is very thin, and the case is opaque, it is probably fake.

After buying basic precious metals, gold or silver futures, funds like ETFs and ETNs, mining stock or any other metals-based asset, tracking these investments is important.   Track with software tools that analyze changes in the value of your investments. Periodically check on your long-term holdings within your online brokerage account or with the help of your broker. As your holdings grow, you may want to consider hiring a financial manager to oversee your investments and make adjustments in response to market conditions. There are several ways to profit when your investments increase in value.  Long-term strategies can include holding on to your gold, silver or other metals for a very long time. This is often done in hopes that prices will spiral up into the stratosphere, creating vast wealth. Short-term strategies include options for those who want to benefit regularly from increases in equity values. This would involve shorter periods in which holdings that have appreciated are sold (perhaps on a yearly basis), producing more consistent and modest earnings. Based on your newly acquired experience at investing in precious metals, use a portion of your gains to reinvest in rising metals.  Drawing on past observations of market behavior and investment performance should guide you in deciding where to invest in the future.

TL;DR in English: Track your investments. Decide on a profit-taking method. Reinvest in new opportunities.

You will want to fill the container half way for a total of 1/2 gallon of warm water.  Don’t worry about making the water very hot.  It should still be cool enough to handle. Using whatever liquid dish soap you have handy, squeeze six drops of dish soap into the gallon jug.  Gently roll your wrist to mix the soap into the water without making it foam. Measure out 2 ounces of rubbing alcohol.  You can use an alcohol jigger for an accurate measurement.  Add these two ounces of rubbing alcohol to the gallon jug. Rubbing alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol, can be hazardous.  Take precautions when handling it.  Avoid contact with skin by wearing gloves.  Don't touch your face after handling rubbing alcohol.  Wash your hands with a lot of soap and water. While the water is still warm, pour it generously over the ice which you would like to remove.  The solution will break down the ice and make it easier to shovel. You will want to remove the ice safely and efficiently.  This means getting the ice and snow out of the path for walking and driving without hurting yourself in the process.  Use a lightweight snow shovel which is not too heavy for you. Decide where you will pile the snow and ice before you start so that you don’t end up blocking a walking or driving path and needing to start over in that area. Ideally, just push the snow and ice out of the way without lifting it. If you do lift, keep your knees bent and back straight.  Remember to do the lifting with your legs and only lift as high as necessary to move the ice to your pile.  If you are turning, turn your whole body instead of twisting at the waist.

TL;DR in English: Fill a gallon jug with warm water. Add dish soap. Finish the mixture with rubbing alcohol. Pour the mixture onto the ice. Shovel the ice.

To create felt roses, you will need to cut large circles out of your felt. Choose any color you would like, and consider choosing additional shades of green felt to create matching leaves.

Why should your friend ever change his flaky ways if he doesn't know it bothers you?  He may not even know that it is an issue at all unless you tell him so.  A healthy friendship, like any good relationship, requires honesty and openness.  Calmly but clearly explain to your friend that his unreliability causes you distress and inconvenience, and is having a harmful effect on a friendship that you highly value.  For example:  "I know your life is very hectic right now, and you're trying to be a good friend by making all these plans with me, but the fact that you're always having to cancel at the last minute or don't show up at all is a problem for me.  I love spending time with you as much as ever, but maybe we can work together on being more realistic about how often we can get together, until life settles down some for both of us." "I know we all joke around about how you're always late for everything, but sometimes it causes real problems when we're late for something important.  Can we work on finding some ways to make sure we're on time when it's important to be?"   Don't raise the issue in a fit of anger after missing the beginning of yet another sporting event or concert because of his lateness.  This is more likely to simply devolve into a shouting match with back-and-forth accusations that may imperil the friendship. One you've raised the issue, you can expect your friend to be a bit defensive and possibly hurt.  Immediately discuss ways you can work together to address the issue in a way that will benefit the both of you.  Make him feel like he is not the only problem and you are not somehow immune from blame.  Can you find ways to build more time flexibility into your time spent together?  For instance, can you start your plans with a “buffer” activity without a set starting time (like playing video games or running in the park) before going to a movie or social gathering that does have one?  Can you work together to set up concrete plans for that road trip you keep talking about? You can't expect...

TL;DR in English: Talk to your friend about it. Meet your friend in the middle. Create consequences. End the relationship.

Before determining how much RAM you should purchase, it will be helpful to know how much RAM you already have installed in your computer. You can quickly check your installed RAM, regardless of what operating system you are using.  Windows - Press ⊞ Win+Pause to open your System Properties window. Your installed RAM will be listed in the System section. Mac - Click the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". Your installed RAM will be displayed in the Memory entry. There are several factors that will dictate how much RAM your system can support, including your operating system and motherboard limits:  If you are using Windows, a 32-bit version can support up to 4 GB, while a 64-bit version can support up to 128 GB. You can check what version of Windows you have by pressing ⊞ Win+Pause and looking for the "System type" entry. Even if your computer supports up to 128 GB, there's a good chance that your motherboard doesn't support that much. You'll need to check the documentation for your motherboard or run an online system scanner (Crucial.com has a good one) to see how much memory your motherboard supports. Mac users will need to check their documentation to see how much their computer support as it varies significantly from model to model. If you don't have the documentation anymore, you can look up the specs of your model on the Apple support site. See this guide for more details on determining the maximum amount of RAM your computer supports. RAM has gone through several revisions over the years. The standard these days is DDR4 RAM, but if you are upgrading an older computer, you may need DDR3, DDR2 or even DDR. If this is the case, you will likely want to consider upgrading the entire computer, as older types of RAM are getting increasingly expensive. You can determine what type your computer uses by referring to the documentation or running a tool like CPU-Z, a freeware utility that analyzes your system. RAM comes in a variety of different speeds. If there are multiple speeds installed, your entire system...

Join extracurricular activities. Get to know the people in your classes. Get involved in your community. Maintain a variety of interests. Put yourself out there.

In order to become a furry, you don’t have to pass an entry test or get permission from anyone else. The decision to become a furry is completely up to you! Whether you’ve been interested in furry-related things for a while or you’re totally new to the community, feel free to proclaim yourself a furry whenever and however you’d like.  If you want to create your own furry-related characters, meet other like minded people, and/or visit furry conventions, you’ll probably love being a part of the furry community! But it’s also totally okay to be a part of the community without calling yourself a furry. If you don't have a strong interest in anthropomorphic animals but you still want to join the community, the people within it will likely welcome you with open arms. People aren’t automatically furries if they happen to like anthropomorphic animals; they get to choose for themselves. Since the furry fandom is a global one, most furry activity happens on the internet. Try the mobile app Furry Amino or websites like SoFurry and Fur Affinity. Create an account and start commenting, posting, and connecting with other users. Or, hop into the furry community on Reddit – r/furry is a very active subreddit and it’s easy to get involved in discussions there. You can easily find other furries via Tumblr and deviantART, too.  Look for furry Discord servers, Skype groups, and Telegram groups for instant messaging. Search through furry pages and tags on regular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. You’ll quickly find your community there! Explore your furry fanship or fursona through any hobby or creative project you’d like. Try writing fanfiction, creating music, making video animations, vlogging, illustrating fan art, or performing in your furry persona. Then share your creations on sites like Tumblr, deviantART, FurAffinity, and YouTube.   There's a place for every interest in the furry fandom – artists, musicians, authors, dancers, comedians, actors, and many others celebrate their love of...

TL;DR in English: Make the choice to become part of the furry community. Participate in online furry groups and discussion boards. Make and share furry fan art and other creative work. Take on requests, trades, or commissions to share your creative work. Attend a furry convention to meet other furries in person. Get involved in a local furry group. Socialize with other furries to form new friendships. Be welcoming and non-judgmental around other furries. Forget your negative misconceptions about furries.

Your glove becomes an extension of your hand when catching a baseball. It must fit your hand properly to work efficiently. As a general rule of thumb, players under the age of 12 will use a glove in the 10–11 inch (25.4–27.9 cm) range.  Older players will use something between 11 and 13 inch glove. Before playing regularly with your glove, it’s important to beak in your glove. One of the best ways to break in your glove is by practicing your catch. Catching a baseball relies heavily on your stance and body position. You should be in the athletic position to prepare catching a ball. The athletic position takes the following into effect:  Bend your knees slightly. This will give you the flexibility to lung for the ball and keep your mind focused. Keep your shoulders positioned towards the target. This will make it easier to visualize and react once the ball comes towards you. Stand on the balls of your feet instead of standing flat-footed. The key to catching a baseball is to never let the ball out of your sight. Keep your eyes fixed from the time the ball leaves the thrower's hand until it lands in your glove. By watching the ball, you can track the ball’s flight plan, and prepare for the right stance to catch the ball. ”You can’t catch what you can’t see,” meaning it'll be difficult to catch the ball if your eye is off the ball. Don’t feel inclined to stay anchored in one place, but instead move to catch the ball. If the ball is thrown and you can tell it will land behind you, run backwards while watching the ball. In baseball, catchers play by zone defense. When the ball enters your zone, it’s your job to move to it. Hold your glove with your palm facing outwards in front of your body. Position the glove in the direction of the target who is throwing the ball. If the ball is thrown above your belly button, you can use this stance to catch the ball with little adjustment.  If the throw is below your belly button, rotate your glove so that your fingers are pointed down. When the ball is thrown above your body,...

TL;DR in English: Get the right glove. Position your body. Watch the ball. Go to the ball. Position your glove. Catch the baseball. Keep your vision clear.

The roses will scent it but it must be a good tea to begin with, so that you enjoy the blend. You could also choose oolong tea, a blend of black and green, with their lovely, rich and fruity flavours. Stir gently to combine. If wished, small dried rosebuds can be included for appearance. Ensure that these are organic too. Label and date so that you remember when it was made and when it should be used by. Most of the flavour will come out with the hot water when the tea is made though, so there's no need to wait too long. The tea will be gently scented with the added rose petals.

TL;DR in English: Select a quality black tea of your liking. Place the tea leaves and rose petals into a large mixing bowl. Transfer the mixture to suitable airtight containers. Leave for a few days for the rose petals to begin imparting a little flavour. Make the rose tea as for the instructions accompanying the black tea used as the base.

The best way to do this is to apply direct pressure to the wound and, if possible, to raise it above the level of the heart (if bleeding is severe). This will diminish blood flow to the area, and give time for a clot to form at the site of the wound. Start by washing the area thoroughly with cool, running water. Then use an antibacterial soap, if possible, such as Dial or Soft-soap (if you do not have either of these, regular soap will do) to clean the wound. If there is still debris in the wound, you may want to use a pair of clean, sterilized tweezers to remove it. If the bleeding won't stop, or if is a deeper wound or has "foreign objects" in it (materials that cannot be removed easily), it is important to seek the advice of an experienced physician. Similarly, if the injured person has stepped or fallen on a sharp object (such as a nail) or been cut by a metal or rusty object, it is important to go to the Emergency Room to receive a tetanus shot (if necessary) and appropriate medical evaluation.

TL;DR in English: Stop the bleeding, if there is any. Clean the wound well. Know when to seek additional medical help.

An easy, fun prank is to blow up a bunch of balloons and fill her room with them. Do this when she is out at work or over at a friend’s house. Make sure the balloons fill the room completely. Shut the door after you have filled the room so she is in for a fun surprise when she opens her bedroom door. Go for balloons in your girlfriend’s favorite color to add something a little special to the prank. Another good way to prank her space is to cover her room in bright post it notes from top to bottom. Layer the Post-It notes all over her furniture, the walls, and the windows in her room. Put Post-Its on her computer and other items. Do this when she is away for the night or out of town. That way, when she comes home, she’ll be in for a fun surprise. Tin foil is a cheap, easy way to pull a prank on your girlfriend. Wrap all the items in her bedroom in tin foil. Put tin foil all over the items in her bathroom or her living room. Choose a room she uses often and make it harder for her to access by using tin foil. If you have the time and energy, wrap her belongings in several layers of tin foil. This will make it harder for her to unwrap each item. Make her shower nice and “toasty” by placing slices of toast in her shower. Position freshly toasted slices of bread in her bathtub. Then, wait for her reaction when she goes to take a shower or a bath.

TL;DR in English: Fill her room with balloons. Cover her room in Post-It notes. Wrap her belongings in tin foil. Place toast in her shower.

Whether you're into basketball, cheerleading, French club, or band, joining a few extracurricular activities can help you become more popular simply because you'll get to know a wider variety of people. If you only get to know the people in your classes, you'll be missing out on a wide variety of amazing people from your school. You'll also find it easier to connect with people who share your interests, so you'll be more likely to make friends.  Remember that, to be popular, people have to actually know who you are — what better way is there to get your name out there than to get involved in extracurricular activities? Finding the right extracurricular activity for you can also help you find a new passion, explore new hobbies, and maybe even to get inspired to follow a new career path. Though it's important to be a good student, you should still be able to find time to relax and make a few friends in your classes. Whether you're chatting it up with your lab partner or the person who sits behind you in Algebra II, you should make an effort to get to know the people in your classes —without disrupting your learning, of course!  You may end up finding a new best friend after working on a school project or putting together a lab report with a new classmate. Don't think that you can only find friends after school hours. People in your classes may also be excited to meet new people, because people don't always end up in class with people they already know since class assignments are random. If you have a lunch period and don't have any friends during the same period, try sitting with a new group of people, that way, you can make new friends and get to know them better. Another way to be involved is to do something in your community. Whether you're volunteering at a soup kitchen or playing softball in a rec league, doing something that is community-based will help you get to know more people and to become experienced with talking to a wider variety of people. You may also meet some people from school who are doing...

Purchase a bag of Epsom salt. Open the bags and let the salt dry.

Traditional top hat material is no longer manufactured, but there are several modern day alternatives you can choose from. When looking for a material to use, gravitate toward fabrics that are fairly stiff and heavy. Light, floppy material will produce a floppy hat.  Craft felt is one of the most popular options you can use. It is easy to find, affordable, easy to work with, and comes in a range of colors. Polar fleece and tightly-woven wool are other possible options. Fosshape, buckram, and plastic canvas can be a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but they also tend to be a little stiffer and may produce a more pleasing result when all is said and done. If you cannot find these materials in the color you want, you can paint or dye them that color. You will need to cut out two round circles of equal proportions. The longest diameter of these circles should be about 15 inches (38 cm). The brim pieces will be stacked and sewn together to create a double layer. This is done so that the brim has more structure and support. If you only use one piece of material for the brim, it may lack the structure it needs to be convincing. The flue is the tall, chimney-like portion of the top hat that creates the signature look of the style. You will need to cut out two rectangular flue pieces of equal proportions. The length should be 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm) and the width should be 24 inches (61 cm).  Like the brim, the “flue” will also consist of a double layer of fabric for the purpose of providing adequate support. Without this double layer, the top hat is likely to sink or fold over on itself once you place it on your head. If you would like to create a more playful version of the top hat, you can also cut out separate bands in alternating colors to form the flue. Stitch the bands together lengthwise so that they form a single flue piece with a height of 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm). You only need to cut out one piece of material for the top of the hat. Cut a circle that is 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter. Unlike...

TL;DR in English: Choose your material. Cut the brim pieces. Cut the "flue" pieces. Cut the top piece.

Don’t worry, the procedure is generally the same whether your dryer is electric or gas, but both need to be shut off before cleaning. Consult the user manual for your appliance if you have any concerns. The lint vent is located on the back of most dryers, either near the top or the bottom of the appliance. You are looking for either flexible aluminum tubing or piping. This is so that you can access the vent. Be sure to work carefully around the tubing as you do so. To do this, use a screwdriver to loosen the metal clamp that holds it in place. Set the vent aside on the floor for now. Do this gently, taking care not to tear a hole in it. Set the tubing carefully aside for now. Use a vent brush, turning the brush clockwise for the best effect. You can also turn it counter-clockwise, just make sure to stick with one direction or the other, not a combination. Pick it up gently and hold it up in front of you. Brush into the tubes with your vent brush. At this point you and your floor are most likely covered in lint! Use the long neck attachment to remove any remaining lint. Vacuum carefully so that nothing gets damaged. Use the long neck attachment, taking care to get all of the lint up. Work it into the nooks and crannies. Don’t forget to tighten the screws on the clamp to fix it in place. Secure the tubing carefully. Be sure to continue working carefully around the tubing. It can be easily damaged, but should be absolutely fine as long as you are careful. When working with the power sources, be sure to work carefully around the tubing behind the appliance. This will flush out any remaining lint. Shut it off after the flush. Your dryer is now ready for use!

TL;DR in English: Shut off the gas (if applicable) and unplug the dryer. Locate the lint vent. Pull the dryer gently away from the wall. Remove the vent from the wall. Pull the tubing away. Clean the wall piping and vent. Clean the removed tubing. Vacuum inside the tubing and vent. Vacuum the floor. Put the dryer vent back into place. Replace the dryer back against the wall. Plug the dryer back in and, if applicable, turn the gas back on. Turn on your dryer for about 10-15 seconds.

A cleanable air filter is advertised as “washable,” “permanent,” and/or “reusable.” Don’t wash paper or otherwise disposable air filters. Avoid vacuuming them as well.  Washing disposable air filters can actually clog them, as well as cause mold. Disposable filters can tear under the pressure of vacuuming or compressed air. At a low pressure, this may work temporarily, but it’s not a long-term solution. Clean or change your filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or more often if you travel on dusty roads or in polluted areas. Examine your air filter under a bright light. Clean or change the filter if it’s darkened or clogged with debris.  Disposable filters should be replaced, whereas permanent filters can be vacuumed or washed. If you don’t change your air filter as needed, you may notice a decrease in your gas mileage, ignition problems, or fouled spark plugs. Clean or change your filter every three months, and more frequently in-season. Clean or change the furnace filter monthly during the heating season. Clean or replace your central air filter every month or two in the cooling season.  If your filter is disposable, replace it. If it’s reusable, you can vacuum or wash it. More frequent changing is needed if your filter is exposed to a lot of dust or pet hair. Failing to clean your air filters in the home can cause HVAC failure or even fire.

TL;DR in English: Replace disposable air filters. Clean or replace your car air filter regularly. Clean or replace your home air filter routinely.

The clothes you wear can really have an effect on your self-esteem. For example, wearing a superhero costume can boost confidence and make people feel stronger; women perform better on a math test in a sweater than in a swimsuit; and a white coat gives people more “mental agility.”  Focus on wearing clothes that make you feel comfortable, such as a nice soft sweater, your favorite jeans, and a suit and tie (or something else professional looking). Examine your wardrobe and make sure your clothes fit your style. If they don’t, you may need to go shopping!  If you dislike shopping in public or don’t know what is in style, consider a service that selects clothes for you and sends them to your house or find an online retailer with an easy free return policy. Wear colors that you like.  Doing so will help boost your mood. If you can’t decide on a color you like, a good go-to color is blue because people general respond positively to it. Find outfits that will look good to you when you look in a mirror because they match your body type or include accessories that show off your good features. There is no perfect body type, but there are good and bad clothes for particular body types. Clothes that fit because they match your type are more likely to look good on you.  If you are very skinny, avoid wearing dark colors, such as black, which are slimming.  Wear lighter colors instead.  Slim women should try to create some curve by belting a flowing dress in the center. Thin men should avoid wearing large or baggy clothing to add the appearance of bulk; dressing in the appropriate size will look better.  If you have broad shoulders and narrow hips, avoid scarves with patterns (calling attention to your shoulders), shirts that accentuate your shoulders, and footwear that looks small for your body type, but do wear pants that make your hips look bigger and shoes with wider heels or boots with buckles that call attention to your feet. If your body is pear-shaped, wear bright colors or patterns on top and dark, solid colors...

TL;DR in English: Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. Wear clothes that accentuate the physical features you like. Wear clothes in the appropriate size or have them tailored. Wear the right lipstick. Apply make-up based on your face shape. Get a good haircut. Stay well-groomed.

Use the misting attachment on your hose to wet the concrete. This prevents the concrete from absorbing the water from your resurfacer, which helps it adhere better. If there’s any standing water left on the concrete’s surface, push it off using a stiff-bristled broom.  If you don’t have a misting attachment for your hose, you’ll just have more water to brush off at the end. Resurfacer cannot be mixed by hand or in a barrel drum since it will not reach the right consistency. Pour the resurfacer mix and the water into a 5 US gal (19 L) bucket. Use the corded drill with a paddle attachment to blend the resurfacer together. This time, blend the resurfacer until it has the consistency of pancake batter.  Keeping the water cold will slightly increase the working time for the resurfacer. If your mixture is too thick, add 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of water at a time to loosen it. If the mix is too runny, add 1⁄2 pound (0.23 kg) of the resurfacer. This will cover 45 square feet (4.2 m2) of concrete, so adjust the amounts as necessary for the area you intend to resurface. Start at one end of your concrete slab and work your way toward the other end. Lift your bucket and pour all of the mixed resurfacer onto your concrete in a strip that’s 1 foot (0.30 m) wide by 6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 m) long. Keep the resurfacer at least 2 feet (0.61 m) away from the edge of the concrete slab so it doesn’t ooze off. Don’t pour more than 1 strip at a time since the resurfacer dries within 30 minutes. Use a long-handled squeegee to make a thin layer of the resurfacer. Work in back and forth motions until the resurfacer is smooth and between 1⁄4–1⁄2 inch (0.64–1.27 cm) thick. Do not cover the weather stripping in the joints between your slabs.  Only work on an area that’s 144 square feet (13.4 m2) or smaller so the resurfacer doesn’t dry before you’re finished. A bag of concrete resurfacer covers about 90 square feet (8.4 m2). Keep a few extra bags of resurfacer handy in case you need to add more. Smooth concrete can be slippery unless you add texture...

TL;DR in English: Mist the concrete so it’s damp. Mix 5 1⁄2  c (1,300 ml) of cool water with 20 lb (9.1 kg) of resurfacer. Pour the resurfacer in a small area on top of your concrete. Spread the resurfacer evenly across your concrete with a squeegee. Brush across the surface with a concrete broom to add texture to the resurfacer. Pour resurfacer until you’ve finished your entire concrete area. Let the resurfacer dry for 6 hours before walking on it and removing weather stripping.

You can find this salt in pharmacies. It is often added to bathes to soothe aching muscles. Although it contains the word "salt," this product is not edible. Thanks to its pure-white color, however, the food coloring will show up much better compared to real sand.  Regular table salt will also work for this method. If you want to make edible colored sand, use white, granulated sugar instead. How long this takes depends on how dry or humid it is in your home. For most people, this will take overnight. You can speed up the drying process by spreading the salt out on a baking sheet or tray. Make sure that you use a separate sheet/tray for each color, however.

TL;DR in English:


Choose paint, paper, or fabric to cover your notebook. Trace the size of your notebook onto your cover material. Cut out your cover to fit the size of your notebook. Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to your cover. Align the corners of your notebook with the corner of your cover. Press your hands down on the cover to help it adhere to the notebook. Let your cover and notebook dry before you accessorize further.

If your area experiences a period of drought, water the soil lightly to help the tree survive. Add enough water to moisten the soil about 3 in (7.6 cm) deep.  You can test the soil by pushing your finger into it. If you can’t push down to the roots easily, the soil needs water. An irrigation system works well for greenhouse growing. Give the guanabana plenty of fertilizer every year to help it grow and produce fruit. You can add fertilizer a month after planting or around March. Apply a second dose in early September.  You can use a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer from your gardening center, which has equal parts phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. Apply 1⁄4 lb (0.11 kg) of fertilizer in the first year, 1⁄2 lb (0.23 kg) in the second year, and 1 1⁄2 lb (0.68 kg) every year after that. Check the mulch layer before you add new fertilizer. Add a new layer of an organic material, such as compost or pine bark, in early spring. Then, you can finish tending to the tree by putting the fertilizer on top of the mulch. Replace the mulch every year to block out weeds and keep the surrounding soil moist. Wait for the guanabana’s trunk to become at least 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) thick. Using pruning shears, cut the branches down until the tree is about 30 in (76 cm) tall. Then, wait for new shoots to grow. Regular pruning helps your tree grow evenly so more water and sunlight reach the roots.  New shoots will grow on your tree. Select the tallest shoot to be the central leader, then select 3 or 4 shoots spaced around it to be main branches. Wear a thick pair of gardening gloves and safety goggles to protect your eyes. Trim the central leader to about ⅓ of its original size. New shoots will begin forming around the cut. Choose the tallest shoot again, then pin the other shoots down so they are horizontal.  You can pin down the secondary shoots with clothespins or twine. Also remove any diseased or decaying branches on your tree. Although guanabana trees do not attract a lot of pests, some bugs can be an issue. Mealybugs are common,...

TL;DR in English: Water the tree when the soil dries during a drought. Fertilize the tree in spring and fall. Renew the layer of mulch every year. Prune the tree down in the first year. Reduce the tree’s size in the second year to encourage growth. Use an insecticide to treat infestations.

People often take one to three days off of work or school, depending upon the severity of their infection. This can be followed by about one full "restful week," often going to work, but postponing social commitments, chores, and other events until you are feeling better. Speak as softly and as little as possible as you are recovering. You can create a soothing mixture to help relieve tonsillitis pain. Combine 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey, 1 teaspoon (2.6 g) of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of apple cider vinegar mixed in hot water and drink as needed. Water also helps to prevent dryness and additional irritation of the tonsils.  Hot teas, warm broth, and other warm liquids can be soothing on the throat. In addition to hot drinks, cold ice pops can also soothe throat discomfort. Mix 1 teaspoon (5.6 g) of salt into an 8 ounce (236 mL) glass of warm water. Gargle the salty water, spit it out, and repeat as necessary to relieve the sore throat caused by tonsillitis. It is important to minimize any irritants that can worsen tonsillitis, such as dry air, cleaning products, or cigarette smoke. Also, try using a cool-air humidifier that adds moisture to the room. Many lozenges contain topical anesthetic within them, which can help to diminish pain in your tonsillar area and throat. " Always consult your doctor prior to trying any of the following alternative remedies, to ensure they are safe for you in consideration of any other medical conditions you may have. There are not recommended for children and adolescents. Options to consider include:  Papain. This is an anti-inflammatory enzyme that may help to reduce inflammation of the tonsils. Serrapeptase. This is another anti-inflammatory enzyme that may help in tonsillitis. Slippery elm in lozenge form. This has been shown to aid in pain relief. Andrographis. This is aimed at treating symptoms of fever and sore throat.

TL;DR in English: Get lots of rest at home. Drink liquids and eat soft foods to soothe pain and discomfort. Gargle with warm water and salt. Remove any environmental irritants. Try lozenges. Consider "alternative remedies.

Use the formal second-person pronoun usted (or ustedes, if your letter is addressed to more than one person) when writing to someone older than you, or who is in charge of something. If you're making a request or seeking confirmation of something, you would almost always use formal language. For example, if you're writing a letter to confirm your hotel reservations, write formally. If you're writing to someone younger than you, or to a close friend or family member, you'll typically use informal speech. Address them with the second-person pronoun tú.  If your letter is addressed to more than one person, use the second-person plural pronoun ustedes – unless you're writing to someone in Spain. Spaniards use an informal second-person plural pronoun, vosotros.  You may want to maintain a formal tone if the recipient is significantly older than you, even if you know them well. For example, if you were writing a letter to your grandmother, you would probably use usted rather than tú in your letter, even if you were very close to her. She is older, and the formal pronoun indicates respect. A more formal tone is appropriate for business letters, even if you're writing to a friendly colleague. If the letter has a business purpose, it may be shared with others you don't know, or kept in business records. Keep personal inquiries or information out of a business letter. For example, if you're writing to a co-worker you're friends with about a work-related matter, you wouldn't ask them about their plans for their upcoming birthday. If you're writing a personal letter, you may use more casual and affectionate language – even if you're using formal pronouns. However, if the person you're writing to is a stranger, you would typically refrain from being causal or affectionate. While the specific words are different, the same concept applies in English. You wouldn't write a letter to a company asking for a job and sign it "with love." Likewise, when ending a letter in Spanish, choose a closing that falls in line with the...

TL;DR in English: Write more formally if the recipient is in a position of authority. Take an informal tone if you know the recipient well. Keep business letters courteous and professional. Adjust your tone to reflect your familiarity with the recipient. Use a more formal tone whenever you have doubts.

Different coffee brewing methods require different grind consistencies. Coarsely ground coffee is about the size of breadcrumbs. You can achieve a coarse grind with a blender or food processor. This grind is ideal for:  French press coffee Cold brew Vacuum coffee makers A medium grind is about the consistency of granulated sugar. This type of grind is best for drip coffee, the pour-over method, and Chemex brewers. In fact, medium grind can be used for a number of different brewing methods, but shouldn’t be used for espresso or Turkish coffee. A medium grind can be achieved by cracking coffee beans with a knife or a hammer. You can also get a medium fine grind by crushing them with a rolling pin. Professional espresso machines, home espresso makers, and stovetop espresso pots all require finely ground coffee for the best results. Finely ground coffee has a similar consistency to table salt. Without a grinder, you can achieve a fine grind by grinding beans with a pestle and mortar or a rolling pin. Super fine coffee is a powdery grind that’s similar to powdered sugar. This type of grind is required for Turkish coffee and Greek coffee.You can get this grind using a pestle and mortar.

TL;DR in English: Use a coarse grind for the French press. Go for a medium grind for a variety of brewing methods. Grind coffee finely for espresso. Use a super fine grind for Turkish coffee.

There are endless options to create a funky and fun notebook cover. Choose your materials before you get started so you have a plan of attack. Select something to express yourself with!  You can use cardboard, construction paper, or old maps. You can find images on the Internet. Print out 1 image to cover the entire notebook, or use your computer to make a collage of photos. You can select fabric like canvas, denim, or old T-shirts. You could also paint a separate sheet on paper and glue it onto the cover. You can use duct tape and stick it onto the cover. Place your notebook on top of your material, whether it is another piece of paper or a piece of fabric. Mark the edges of your notebook onto your cover with a pencil or pen. This can be a rough size estimate, so you know where to make your cuts. You can cut out a cover for the front and a cover for the back separately, or cut out a size that would fit both the front and back cover in one piece. Be sure to lay your book open flat if you are covering both sides. Use a pair of scissors to cut out your cover, based on the lines you traced. Place your cover on top of your notebook to make sure the size is correct.  If the cover is too big, trim it down so it fits the size of your notebook. If it is too small, you can cut out another cover or improvise with other accessories, like ribbon or stickers. If you are using fabric, use fabric scissors for sharp, straight lines. You can use an adhesive like a glue stick, liquid glue, a hot glue gun, or Mod Podge. Put a thin, even layer of glue onto the back of the cover material. Make sure you coat the edges of your cover so the paper won't lift up later. Avoid applying too much glue on your cover. It will take a long time to dry and create a mess. Try to use thin, even layers. Start at the top of your notebook and line up the edge of your cover with the notebook's top edge. Then, line up the bottom corners as well. Use the side of your hand or your palm and press down on the front of your cover  to stick it to your...

TL;DR in English:


Remove the patient from the area of exposure. Take off any clothing or jewelry around the burn. Wash the burn thoroughly. Apply a clean, sterile dressing. Administer an over-the-counter pain reliever. Get a tetanus shot.

Place your crabs in the freezer for several hours. The cold air will numb the crabs and cause them to move around much slower. This makes it easier to handle the crabs when killing them and may even dull their pain. Remember that once they're desensitized to pain, you should kill them immediately so they don't recover and feel pain again. If your crabs are larger, they'll take longer to freeze. You'll know your crab has frozen long enough when it's easy to handle or manipulate. The crabs shouldn't be moving their limbs at all or react when you touch near their mouthparts. Try tapping a crab's shell. If the crab's eyes don't react, then the crab is desensitized. You can quickly pierce the two nerve centers on a crab to immediately and painlessly kill the crab. Place your immobile crab on a non-slip mat so that it's on its back. Lift up the tail flap. You should see a hole that looks like a small dot. This is directly over a nerve center. Take a knife (or awl) and spike into this tiny hole at an angle of 85°. Do this again for the front nerve center.  The front nerve center is located in the shallow depression at the front of the crab. Insert this spike at an angle of 60°. The whole spiking process should take less than 10 seconds. You can then cook the crab according to any method you'd like. If you don't want to worry about cooking a very fresh crab or killing it yourself, buy frozen crab legs and claws. These are steamed before they're frozen so all you need to do is heat them back up. To thaw your frozen crab you can either:  Place the frozen crab in the fridge and let it thaw overnight Place the frozen crab in a container of cool water that's set in your sink or on the counter

TL;DR in English: Freeze your crabs. Check for signs of sensitivity. Spike the crab to kill it. Consider buying and thawing frozen crab.

You have the option of not giving a reason or excuse for saying no. Remember, it is your right to decline to do things, and you don't own anyone an explanation. You can simply respond, "no," but if you feel like adding more, you can still be respectful while keeping it simple.  You could say, “I'm sorry, that just won't work for me.” Another way to say no is simply, “No, I can't do that.” If someone asks if they can buy you a drink, feel free to just say, "No, thanks." If you say no immediately, it might seem like you didn't even consider the request. In order to be respectful, take a moment to think about your answer--even if you already know what it is going to be. Take a pause, and then kindly say no.  You could say, “Let me check my calendar. I believe I already have a commitment that weekend.” Try counting slowly to three before responding. This way, you'll seem to be considering the request. A respectful response is not one that sounds overly negative. When turning someone down, find a way to inject a positive attitude into your words. It also helps if you use a friendly tone of voice! For example, you could say, “Wow! A cookie exchange sounds like such a fun idea! I'm sorry that I won't be able to come. It sounds like I'll be missing a good time.” It's important not to sound rude. Don't say something like, “No, why would I want to do that?” Instead, be kind and gracious. Say things like, “That's so nice of you to think of me, but I'm really not interested in learning to snowshoe.” You can also say, “I'm afraid I can't dog sit for you. Your puppy is cute, but I don't think my cat would agree.” Make it clear that you genuinely appreciate being asked. If you have to turn someone down, express your thanks that they thought of you in the first place. You could say something like, “Thanks for considering me responsible enough to watch your kids. I'm sorry that I'm busy that evening.” You can also say, “I appreciate that you think I'd make a good team captain. However, I'm more comfortable not having a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your explanation simple. Think before you speak. Make a positive statement. Be gracious. Show gratitude. Give a clear answer. Offer encouragement.

If you’re trying self-hypnosis, you will need to know what affirmation your hypnosis script will include. In hypnosis, affirmations are the suggestions made to you while you are under. The point of an affirmation is that you making suggestions to yourself to change certain behaviours or ways of thinking. Some examples of affirmations suitable for self-hypnosis include:  I will not overreact when I get angry or frustrated. I will eat more healthily. I will be kinder to people. Once you have decided on the key affirmations you want to build your recording around, you need to think about the larger structure of the script. Generally, you should try to build a self-hypnosis recording around the four key sections of hypnosis. These are the Induction Script, the Deepening Script, the Subject Script, and the Awakening Script.  A complete hypnosis recording will move through these elements in the above order. The Subject Script is the part in which you will have your affirmations. This is the part of the hypnosis which helps relax you, and prepares for the deeper parts of hypnosis that follow. This script should be quite straightforward and uncomplicated. You can start by just saying something like “slowly close your eyes, and relax your scalp muscles.”  If you start the muscle relaxation at the scalp, you can progress on to the muscles at the back of your head, and then relax the muscles in your face. Continue to work your way right down your body, all the way to your toes.  Progressively relaxing muscles and breathing deeply will help you relax your body. The next step is the part of the hypnosis that will ease you into a deeper relaxation. In this section you should concentrate on progressively relaxing over time. You can use instructions that refer to time passing, such as “as each minute passes you feel more relaxed,” or “each breath brings you into a deeper state of relaxation.” You can also use visualisations to help your relaxation deepen.  One popular visualisation used in a deepening script is walking down...

TL;DR in English: Decide what your affirmation will be. Break your script into four parts. Create an Induction Script. Make a Deepening Script. Craft your Subject Script. Finish with an Awakening Script. Consider downloading a prepared script.

All the fruit should be ripe (or even overripe)--ripened fruit is sweeter, so you won't need to add any extra sugar. . Use a small, sharp knife to cut the core out of the strawberries.  Insert the tip of the knife into the top of the strawberry, right where it turns white. Cut out the white center of the strawberry. In doing so, you will remove the leaves as well. If you don't have fresh strawberries, it's ok to use frozen. The taste might not be as intense or fresh, but it will still be delicious! Clean the blender after use, since you will be using it again for the peaches and the kiwi. This should catch all the strawberry seeds so they don't end up in your frozen lolly. You can substitute another sweetener for simple syrup. Try honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. Sample a little of the puree to make sure it's sweet enough. If not, add a little bit more sweetener, to taste. If you don't have an ice pop mold, you can substitute a paper or disposable plastic cup. Don't try to substitute a glass for the pop mold--as the juice freezes, it expands, and it may break the glass. This will ruin your pop and make a dangerous, sharp mess in your freezer. This should take 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cover the mold with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If the molds came with covers that double as a handle/popsicle stick, wait to use these. If the first layer of your ice lolly freezes around the stick, you won't be able to add the next two layers. If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches that are already peeled, stoned, and sliced. Just drain the water from the can. Your blender won't have to work as hard to puree the fruit if it's cut into little slices. Using a paring knife, cut all the way through one side of the peach, until your knife hits the pit.  Run the knife all the way around the peach, keeping the blade against the pit, cutting the peach in half.  Hold the peach in your hands and twist each half in opposite directions until the come apart. The pit should still be stuck in one half of the peach. ...

TL;DR in English: Ask an adult to help you prepare the fruit, since you'll need to peel and slice the fruit. Hull the strawberries Puree the hulled strawberries in a blender. Place the strainer or sieve over a bowl and pour the puree through the strainer. Add 1 1/2 tbsp simple syrup to the strawberry puree and mix. Pour the sweetened strawberry mixture into your ice pop molds, filling only 1/3 of the way to the top. Put the mold in the freezer until the strawberry mixture is frozen. Peel the skin off the peaches with a peeler or knife. Remove the pits from the peaches and slice into small pieces. Puree the peaches in the blender and add 1 1/4 tbsp simple syrup. Pour the sweetened peach puree into the ice lolly mold. Put the mold in the freezer until the peach mixture is frozen. Peel the kiwi with a knife or peeler and slice into smaller pieces. Puree the sliced kiwi and 1 1/4 tbsp simple syrup in the blender. Pour the sweetened kiwi mixture into the ice lolly mold. Top the mold with the lid. Put the mold in the freezer for another 2 hours, or until the kiwi mixture is frozen. Your finished ice lollies should be equal layers of pink, yellow, and green--just like a traffic light!

If you don’t want to store your fresh mushrooms in their original packaging, you can instead store them in a paper bag. The size of the bag can vary depending on how many mushrooms you’re storing, but brown paper lunch bags are generally the best choice. You can also wrap them in damp paper towels before you place them in the bag. Don’t fold over the top of the bag of mushrooms. Leaving it open keeps the level of moisture balanced. The bag will trap some moisture. Leaving it open prevents your mushrooms from soaking up too much moisture. You should store the paper bag of mushrooms in your refrigerator, preferably in one of the crisper drawers. This keeps the scent and taste of other food from getting into your mushrooms. Crisper drawers are also designed to keep fresh vegetables fresher for longer. Using this method should keep your mushrooms fresh for a week to 10 days.

TL;DR in English: Put mushrooms into a paper lunch bag. Leave the paper bag open. Store the bag in your refrigerator.

If the chemicals still pose a danger to the burn victim, then make sure that you remove him or her from the area of exposure. For example, if the chemicals are giving off fumes or if the victim is in danger of getting splashed with more of the chemical, then remove the victim to another room or go outside.   Always take precautions to protect yourself when tending to someone who has received a chemical burn. For example, you may need to wear long sleeves, gloves, a mask, goggles, or other protective gear to prevent yourself from receiving a similar injury. If there are any dry chemicals left on the victim's skin, then brush these chemicals off before irrigating the area. If the victim has clothing, jewelry or other items on that are contaminated with chemicals and/or obstructing your access to the burn, then make sure that you remove these items before you being treatment. Leaving these items on may cause further damage. You will also need to be able to access the burn site to brush off any leftover dry chemicals and irrigate the area with water. If you receive a burn from a chemical, you should first dilute the chemical compound. This is the best thing you can do to treat a chemical burn right away. To do this, flush the burn and the surrounding areas of skin with copious amounts of water. The water should be cool. Let the water run over the burn for 10 minutes or more.  Don't use a high pressure stream of water to wash the skin. Too much water pressure can make the chemical burn worse by driving the chemical deeper into the skin. Just use light irrigation by holding the wound under a gentle stream of water and keep it there for a long time. Some chemical burns should not be treated with immediate irrigation. These include dry lime, elemental metals such as sodium, and phenol. This is because combining these chemicals with water causes a harmful exothermic (heat-producing) reaction and/or releases hazardous byproducts. For chemicals in the eyes, remove contact lenses and use an eyewash.  These are found in...

Place your peeled ginger root on a cutting board and cut the root into planks or slices that are about 1 centimeter (0.4 in) thick. Add these pieces of ginger root to your favorite soups, stews, or curries. For example, add the ginger to:  Indian spiced carrot soup  Sweet potato soup with miso Chicken pho Spicy vegan coconut soup Add flavor to delicate white fish by steaming it in the oven with fresh ginger. Combine planks or freshly grated ginger with any other seasonings you want to use and spread it over fish. Cover the pan and roast the fish in a hot oven at 475 °F (246 °C) until the fish is flaky and cooked. Ginger works well with tilapia, salmon, halibut, and cod. Slice the ginger root into thin planks. Stack the planks and cut them into thin strips. Stir a handful of ginger root strips into any stir fry meal. For example, ginger can add a spicy heat to Szechuan dishes, lo mein, or stir-fried broccoli. To make a subtle glaze, whisk together 3 tablespoons (63 g) of honey, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of sherry vinegar, 1 tablespoon (3 g) of grated peeled fresh ginger, and 3/4 teaspoon (2 g) of ground black pepper. Brush this glaze over root vegetables, fish, pork chops, or roasts. If the food you're cooking has a long cook time, consider brushing more glaze over the food during the last 15 minutes of cooking time. . Peel a 2 inches (5.1 cm) piece of fresh ginger and slice it into planks as thinly as you can. Slice these thin planks into thin slivers or strips and toss them with chopped root vegetables on a baking sheet. Roast the vegetables and ginger for up to 45 minutes in a 425 °F (218 °C) oven. Serve the roasted ginger and vegetables with steamed rice or a barley pilaf.

TL;DR in English: Use sliced ginger root in soups or curries. Steam ginger planks or grated ginger with fresh fish. Stir fry ginger strips with vegetables, noodles, and protein. Use grated ginger to make a glaze for vegetables, fish, or roasts. Roast planks or slices of ginger with root vegetables

The standard way to teach multiplication is memorization, which only some children are good at – and it's debatable if you can classify this as learning, anyway. Make it interactive as much as possible. Use fingers and toes, blocks, an abacus, whatever you have on hand. Make it fun, not something that's discouraging. Please do not shame kids by having them recite in front of the class – it will never improve their memory but it will turn them off math forever and create an unpleasant disparity among students. With this method, students will need to know how to skip-count, which is essentially the same as multiplication. For example, skip-counting by multiples of 4 goes as follows: 4, 8,12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40. 3 x 4 = skip-count by 4 three times: 4, 8, 12. A harder example? 6 x 7 = skip-count by 7 six times: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42. The answer is 42. The best way to learn skip-counting is through the use of songs or other mnemonic devices. Skip-counting by multiples is also the primary method for multiplying single digits by remedial math systems such as Simple Math and Touch Math. Here's an idea: use a beach ball (or two). Take a permanent black marker and divide the ball in half horizontally. This will give you 12 sections. Using the same marker, number the sections from 0 through 11 randomly. Here's how the game is played:  You write a number 1 through 10 on the board (preferably the number you are working on in the classroom.) Any child in the room tosses the ball to another child. This child instantly calls out the number their right thumb is on. Both children compete in trying to be the first to say the answer, multiplying the number on the board by the number called out by the child who caught the ball. The winner continues the game by throwing the ball to another child. Have the child who throws the ball say the name of the child that they are tossing it to. This eliminates a mad scramble for many to rush to catch the ball. Pro tip? Let some air out of the ball. It is easier for third graders to...

TL;DR in English: Teach more than one way to learn. For kids who have trouble with learning multiplication, try skip counting. Turn it into a hands-on game. Change how you word the problem.

Only stones that stay within the house or button earn points. This is your team’s goal for each end. Curling is a careful game of teams throwing and knocking away stones in order to gain position in the house.  It is possible to land a stone within the active play area but outside of the house. Stones in these areas are usually guards. They never count towards any points. Teams may end up scoring no points during an end. If nobody has a stone in the house, neither team gets a point. After all stones have been thrown in the current end, the team with the stone closest to the center of the target gets a point. All of the other stones behind it don’t count. This means that only 1 team can earn points during an end. If your opponent is occupying the button and you’re throwing your last stone, you have to knock the other stone away to prevent them from scoring. For example, your opponent has a stone on the blue ring. Your stone is in the bullseye. Your team gets 1 point. Any team can score up to 8 points in an end. You get multiple points only if you have several stones closer to the bullseye than your opponent. Having multiple stones in the house doesn’t count unless your opponent’s stones are out of the way. This is why knocking out your opponent’s stones strategically can be a big deal. For example, if Team B has 3 stones closer to the center than any of Team A’s stones, Team B earns 3 points. The colored rings serve as a guide when determining who scored. To determine the distance, stand directly over the stone and locate the edge closest to the center. Do the same for any other stones to determine where they fall in the house.  The stone’s edge needs to touch the outermost margin of the house or fall within it to count. Any stones outside of the circle are out of play. When in doubt, use a measuring stick to determine how far the stones are from the button. Referees do this when they can’t make a determination by sight alone. In professional matches, referees make the final decision on scoring issues....

TL;DR in English: Get stones into the house to score points. Land the closest stone to the button to score a point. Have several stones closer to the target to score multiple points. Measure the stones’ distance from the circle to see which is closer. Tally up your points after all ends are completed.

In some circles, this is known as verb 1, 2, and 3. Place a colon next to each one. You will then write the correct conjugation next to each term.  Write down the infinitive form at the top. This is the word that is used with the word “to.” In English, it is also the part of the verb that is used with the future tense and with auxiliary verbs. For example, with the verb “to search,” the infinitive is “search.” List the present participle. This is the form of the verb that you use with the present continuous tense, such as “I am searching.” List the past participle. This is the form of the verb you would use with the past perfect, present perfect and future perfect tenses. For example, "I had searched," “I have searched," and "I will have searched." These are the most commonly used pronouns, including I, you, he, she, it, we, you and they. You are listing the first person, second person and third person, both singular and plural.  The pronouns that you conjugate will change based on the language. Clarify what conjugations you are asked to include before you start your assignment. When doing English conjugation, you can group he, she and it together. You can also opt to remove the plural 2nd person, or you, because the verb does not change based on the number of people (that is, "you search" versus "you (all) search"). While you'll be able to stop at person and number for some languages (Romance languages, namely), for others that won't be the case. If your language needs to account for gender, mood, voice (the full list is in the last section), do so now. It's still best to use a few verbs. How many "verb families" does your language have? Make sure to have one of each, including irregular verbs. Write the form of the verb that is used for each person in each tense you are working on, next to the pronoun. Have separate charts that are constructed the same, yet different for past, present, and future. For example, to conjugate the verb “to search” in the present tense, you would write “I search, you search,...

TL;DR in English: To start your chart, write the words “infinitive,” “present participle” and “past participle” on the first 3 lines. List all the types of person you should conjugate on subsequent lines. Account for gender or any other variable. Fill in the verb conjugation chart. Make charts for all your verbs.

Over the counter pain relievers can help to reduce inflammation and pain from mouth ulcers. Try taking a pain reliever such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. These pain relievers will not necessarily heal your ulcers, but they can help to relieve pain caused by the ulcers while the ulcer heals.  You can also use topical products like Anbesol, which is applied locally for pain relief. Use these products for children and adults as directed. There are multiple kinds of medicine that can help mouth ulcers. Topical corticosteroid preparations, such as triamcinolone paste or Orabase, can help treat sores on your lips or gums. Blistex and Campho-Phenique provide relief against the pain of canker sores and cold sores. These work best if you apply them at the first sign of a mouth ulcer. If you have serious issues with your mouth ulcers, you can get medication from your doctor to help. Your doctor may prescribe medication such as Zovirax or Denavir, which can reduce the healing time of the ulcer by half a day. They also decrease the pain associated with the inflammatory response. If you have a severe cold sore, your doctor may prescribe oral antiviral medications, which can be used to help heal the herpes simplex virus stomatitis that causes them. These include medications like acyclovir, valacyclovir and famciclovir.

TL;DR in English: Take pain relievers. Treat ulcers with over the counter medications. Take prescription medication.
