Assume the best of others. Consider the setting. Consider the source.

Check your utility bill for the cost of each kilowatt-hour of electricity. (Average costs are roughly $0.12 per kWh in the US, or €0.20 per kWh in Europe.) Multiply this by the number of kWh your bulb uses each month to estimate how much you pay to power that bulb.   Example 1: Your power company charges 10 US cents per kWh, or $0.10. The incandescent bulb uses 10.8 kWh/month, so running it is costing you ($0.10/kWh * 10.8 kWh/mo.) = $1.08 per month.  Example 2: At the same cost of $0.10 per month, the low-use fluorescent bulb costs you ($0.10/kWh * 0.42 kWh/mo.) = $0.042 per month, or about four cents. Light bulbs account for about 5% of the electricity bill of the average US household. Although other energy savers will have a larger effect, replacing incandescent bulbs is always worth it in the long term:  Replacing a traditional incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent light (CFL) will typically pay for itself within 9 months. It will also last nine times as long before burning out, saving you even more money in the long run.  Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are even more efficient and have a lifespan of 50,000 hours (almost six years of constant use). Over their whole lifespan, they save about $7 US per year. . Consider the following when shopping for energy-efficient lighting:  Poorly made CFL bulbs can burn out quickly. The best options have an EnergyStar logo in the US, or a rating of A+ or higher on the European Union energy label. If you're lucky, the packaging will list "lumens," a measure of brightness. If not, use this estimate: a 60 watt incandescent bulb, 15 watt CFL, or 10 watt LED are all roughly the same brightness. Look for a color descriptor. "Warm white" is closer to the yellow glow of an incandescent. "Cool white" heightens the contrast, which may feel harsh in living spaces.  "Directional" LED lights focus light on a small area instead of illuminating a whole room.

TL;DR in English: Calculate the cost of running your light bulb. Save on lighting costs. Choose the right replacement

The abstract is a very short summary of the paper, usually no more than 200 words. Base the structure of your abstract on the structure of your paper. This will allow the reader to see in short form the purpose, results, and significance of the experiment.   The purpose of this short summary is to provide the reader with enough information on the experiment that they can see if they want or need to read the entire report. The abstract helps them determine if your research is relevant to them. Devote a sentence to describing the purpose of the project and its significance. Then, very briefly describe the materials and methods used. Follow up with a 1-2 sentence description of the results of the experiment. You might also provide a list of keywords listing subjects related to your research. Begin with a short outline or review of related literature or experiments. Then, outline or summarize the theoretical background of the issue. Next, provide a statement about the problem or question that this research has raised. Summarize your project and discuss how it addresses the problem or question. Finally, briefly explain your experiment, but save the details for the materials and methods or analysis section of your paper. The introduction will outline what the experiment is, why it was done, and why it is important. It must provide the reader with two key pieces of information: what is the question the experiment is supposed to answer and why is answering this question important. This is an educated and well-articulated explanation of the expected results of your research known as a hypothesis. Your hypothesis should go into your introduction, near the end.  A research hypothesis should be a brief statement that pares down your problem that you described in your introduction into something that is testable and falsifiable. Scientists must create a hypothesis from which an experiment can reasonably be designed and carried out. A hypothesis is never proved in an experiment, only "verified" or "supported". correctly....

TL;DR in English: Start with an abstract. Write an introduction. Decide what your expected results should be. Formulate your hypothesis

People have been making wine for thousands of years, and they've learned a few tricks along the way. Keep the following in mind as you make your own wine for the first time:  Use very clean equipment to prevent bacteria from spoiling your wine. Keep your first ferment covered but allow for ventilation. Keep the secondary fermentation air-free. Keep all bottles full, to minimize oxygen in the bottle. Keep red wines in dark bottles so they don't lose their appearance. Make wines too dry instead of too sweet: you can add sugar later. Taste the wine at intervals to make sure the process is going well. Avoiding these common pitfalls can help ensure your success. Do not:  Sell your wine, since this is illegal. Let vinegar flies come in contact with your wine. Use metal vessels. Use tools or containers made out of resinous wood, as they can spoil the wine's flavor. Try to speed up fermentation by turning up the temperature. Filter without a reason or too soon. Store your wine in unsterilized jars or bottles. Bottle your wine before it has finished fermenting.

TL;DR in English: Learn the tricks that lead to successful wine-making. Know what to avoid with home wine-making.

The location is important, and it will help determine some of the other details you choose so pick it first! You could go to the park, the beach, the mountains, or even just your backyard. Some museums have lawns for picnicking, or you could head to any area with natural attractions, such as lakes or rivers. When choosing a place, do a little research. If you need a picnic table, make sure the the area has some. You may want to check for things like bathrooms and running water, too. You could have a brunch picnic in the park and take breakfast foods or a lunch picnic with a friend from work. Alternatively, opt for a dinner picnic and consider bringing foods to grill. It's important to decide what time of day you want to have your picnic, as that will affect the food you choose. Often, a picnic is about more than just the food. See what activities the area offers, so you know what you need to bring. For instance, if the park doesn't have much of a playground, bring some fun sporting equipment with you, such as Frisbees or a soccer ball.  You could also bring along a board game that's fun to play outside, such as Twister. If you're at a nature reserve, consider going on a hike to a picnic spot! Maybe you want to plan a picnic just for your family or maybe you want to throw a big picnic/party for your friends' birthday. Take some time to consider who you want to invite, then make a list of the people you'd like to come.  Remember, if you invite a lot of people, you'll need to plan on bringing food for that many people, unless you do a potluck. With a potluck, you'd provide a main dish and have everyone else bring sides. Also think about the venue. Make sure it has enough tables for your group if you'll have a lot of people. You may need to reserve the space for a large group. You'll need food, utensils, plates, a cooler, activities, and bags for cleanup. You'll also likely want a tablecloth or blanket to spread out wherever you go. Making a checklist helps you keep track of what you need to bring so you don't...

TL;DR in English: Choose your location. Decide what time of day you want to picnic. Plan for activities. Determine who you want to invite to your picnic. Create a checklist of what you need to bring with you. Make and distribute formal invitations

Try to remember that most jokes are good-natured attempts at being funny. Sometimes, we take the cheapest route to funny, and that sometimes takes the form of taking a shot at someone.  If the shot's aimed at you, try to remember that person is just trying to be funny - it's probably about him or her more than about you.  The joke may have been good natured, but worded poorly. Or perhaps the joker misjudged how sensitive you are about a particular topic. Sometimes people joke about sensitive topics, intending to show support for those who need it most or lighten the mood. Pick up on the atmosphere. If the joke was meant to be lighthearted (without intent to hurt you or anyone else), then you can be lighthearted right back. You may tease the joker back to keep the dialogue going, or smile and brush it off.  Keep your teasing lighthearted when creating banter with the joker. Keep in mind he or she is trying to have fun and be silly with you. If there's a cruel or threatening undercurrent, then you may want to address appropriate joking with the joker. Some people are simply goofy, or are well-meaning but not good at wording things. In these cases it may be better to let it slide. A friend may have a particularly acerbic wit. Recognize that is just part of his humor and he means no harm. We all have less than desirable traits. An overly sarcastic friend isn't likely to make major personality changes, so there is no benefit to getting upset and potentially harming relationships.

You may feel you are most productive or energetic at night, but you are unlikely to improve your sleep quality if you don’t establish a regular bedtime. By going to sleep at the same time every night no matter what, you can gradually reset your circadian rhythm and get better rest. Watching movies, playing video games, scrolling through your phone, or working on your laptop before bed can all interfere with your sleep, and the reason is two-fold. Not only are these activities high-arousing, which can make it difficult for your brain to transition into sleep, the devices also emit a stimulating blue light, which suppresses the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Try to turn off all screens two hours before you go to sleep. Instead of stimulating activities, you should enjoy very mundane activities in the two hours prior to going to sleep. Try packing your lunch for the next day, folding your laundry, washing dishes, or listening to relaxing music. Enjoy a shower or a bath an hour before your bedtime. Bathing will relax your muscles and make it easier to fall asleep. Try a relaxing bath with Epsom salts and/or lavender oil. You should certainly get exercise during the day, since it helps with ADHD symptoms such as restlessness. However, you should avoid getting exercise too close to your bedtime because it may make it hard to fall asleep. Try getting exercise first thing in the morning. Exercise can lead to a flood of endorphins and a release of adrenaline, which can give you energy to sustain you throughout the day. Working out too close to bedtime will not give your body adequate time to burn off or use the endorphins and adrenaline before attempting to sleep. . Engaging in meditation is a common stress-busting strategy, and reducing stress and anxiety before bed might make it easier for you to fall asleep. Find a quiet room in your house. Sit in a comfortable position. Place your hands on your thighs and relax your shoulders. Notice that you are breathing. Place your mind on your breath. If you notice...

TL;DR in English: Stick to a set bedtime every night. Shut off electronic devices before bed. Do relaxing, routine activities before sleeping. Shower an hour before bedtime. Exercise at least three hours prior to bedtime. Practice mindfulness meditation Use a sleep log or activity tracker to monitor your sleep.

You are family, though that doesn’t mean you should know everything about each other’s personal lives. Be respectful of personal space, like bedrooms, journals, or cell phones.   Remembering your sibling’s boundaries will show them your love and respect. Don't read their journal or snoop around in their room when they aren't home. When you feel angry or upset, you will likely start a fight. Work on your emotions in healthy ways rather than taking them out on the people close to you.  Try venting to a friend or to your parent about what is on your mind. This will get rid of your feelings so you don't carry them with you next time you talk to your brother. If you’re really angry with your brother, rather than yelling at him, try writing a letter. This is a safe place for you to vocalize your true feelings, without maybe saying harsh things to him right away. After you've written your letter, you'll be able to discuss your feelings calmly. It’s easy to forget your sibling’s friendship if you’re stuck fighting all the time. Show your brother or sister you appreciate them by doing something nice, for no reason. It’s easy to take your family for granted. You can do things like buy them ice cream or a coffee when you are running errands. Also try things like playing their favorite game together, or buy them a new coloring book or magazine. Whether you share a room with your sibling or you live across the country from each other, it’s important to spend time together when you can. Spend time together that is positive and fun, rather than spent arguing. This will strengthen your relationship and you are less likely to fight. Do an activity you both enjoy, like playing golf, walking in the park, or watching a sci-fi movie. If you tell your brother that you will stop teasing him, do it. Be accountable to what you agree upon, and your sibling will start to trust you. Trust is important to maintain healthy relationships and prevent fights.  If you both agree your fights are starting because you want to be the boss, stop...

TL;DR in English: Respect your sibling’s personal space and privacy. Express your emotions and feelings in healthy ways. Do something nice for your sibling to show you love and care for them. Spend meaningful time together, as often as you can. Build trust by following through with your commitments.

Outside labels are most frequently found on men’s suits. You must remove them with care so that you won’t damage your garment, but these labels are meant to be removed. Look for the best approach and point of entry to begin removal.  Jeans also frequently feature an outside tag, generally in the form of a tiny patch that features the brand logo. These are not meant to be removed, so you will need to take extra caution when doing it, but these can be removed using this method.  Another common example of an outside tag is one that you see sewn into an outside seam on a garment. Use tiny cuticle scissors to cut these off, since they are normally quite easy to get rid of. There will probably be a few stray threads embedded in your garment after you remove the label. Make sure the threads are totally loose before attempting to tweeze them out.

TL;DR in English: Examine your label. Pull the label away and use tweezers to pull out any remaining thread.

Wear vinyl or latex gloves when you check for bedbugs. This can protect your hands from being bitten by live bed bugs and the gloves will prevent you from coming into contact with blood from smashed bed bugs. If you don't have any gloves around, wrap a plastic bag over your hand before looking for the bed bugs. Adult bed bugs are around 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) long and they have 6 legs. A bed bug that's recently fed on blood will be bright red and round. Once it digests the blood, it will turn a darker brown color and become flat. If the bed bug hasn't fed in a while, it will be a pale brown color. Since bed bugs feed on blood, they can leave behind red or rusty stains if they get smashed. The color may be bright red if the bed bug was recently crushed or the stain may be dark if the bed bug was smashed a while ago. The stains might look like single drops of blood or there will be smears and streaks. Bed bug excrement will look like very small black spots (about this size: •). The excrement can stain the fabric that's underneath it, so you may see dark streaks as well. You should also look for small pale white eggs that are around 1 millimetre (0.10 cm) in size. You may also see pale skins that the bed bug nymphs shed as they grow larger.

TL;DR in English: Put on gloves to protect your hands. Identify small bed bugs that are red or brown. Look for red stains from crushed bed bugs. Check for bed bug eggs and excrement.

For most cats, the surgery doesn’t cause any long-term negative symptoms.  In fact, most cats will be back to “normal” within 48 hours of surgery.  If your cat isn’t back to “normal” within 2-3 days, contact your veterinarian. Part of your daily routine, after your cat’s been spayed, is to check her incision to make sure it’s healing properly.  You’ll want to make sure the incision itself is binding and healing, and that it doesn’t look red or inflamed (and therefore infected) or has any discharge.  If the incision isn’t healing, or looks infected, contact your veterinarian.  Look at your cat’s incision the day you take her home, this is what a normal, healing incision should look like.  You can use this as a basis for watching her incision for the next few weeks.  If it never changes, gets red in colour, becomes inflamed, or something starts to leak out, you’ll need to contact your veterinarian.  The incision should heal substantially within 7 to 10 days.  After this time the incision should be able to hold up against stretching and pulling.  Note — incisions heal from side-to-side, not end-to-end, therefore a longer incision doesn’t take longer to heal than a short incision. Your vet may recommend that you keep your cat from running and jumping up to 2 weeks after she’s been spayed.  An adult cat may not feel like doing this right after surgery anyway, so it may be easy to restrain her.  A kitten, however, may be difficult to restrain, but will also likely bounce back from surgery faster.  If you do need to keep your cat from running and jumping, she’ll need to be placed somewhere in your home where there aren’t a lot of places to jump up on, and not a lot of room for running.  A bathroom or bedroom might work well. If your cat has a tall scratching post, window seat, or cat condo, you may need to put them away until your cat is fully healed. You cat may be tempted to clean and lick the site of her incision, especially if it becomes itchy.  An occasional cleaning shouldn’t be a problem, as long as she...

You can make cookies and crunchy snacks for your horse without turning on the oven. One good recipe is for peppermint cookies. For five of these you will need a cup of rolled oats, a quarter cup of water, 1-2 tbsp. of molasses, and five peppermints. Start by mixing up the oats and the water. Stir it up together until the oats are all damp.  Next, you should add the molasses gradually, stirring as you go, until the mixture is nice and sticky. Roll the mixture up into balls, and then press one peppermint onto each cookie. Put the cookies in the fridge and wait for them to harden before treating your horse. For this treat, you just need an apple, a banana, and a handful of ice cubes. Start by peeling and then slicing up the banana. Put the banana pieces into a blender with some ice cubes and blend it until the mixture becomes creamy. Next, cut off the top of the apple and carefully scoop out the middle.  Spoon the creamy banana mixture into the hollowed-out apple. Then pour out any remaining banana mixture onto the sides of the apples. Another fruity treat just requires a few carrots and bunch of grapes. Start by slicing the carrots into slim sticks. Then push one carrot stick into each grape so the grape stays on the end of the carrot stick, a bit like a popsicle. Then put the grapes in ice cube trays, so the carrots are sticking up, and put them in your freezer.  Leave them in the freezer for a couple of hours so they go cold, but do not completely freeze. Then you have a nice cool fruity treat to give your horse on a hot day. Make sure the grapes are seedless, or you have removed all the seeds. You can mix up a nice salad as a healthy and delicious treat for your horse. For this variety you will need to start by gathering five chopped dandy lion plants (when they are in bloom, and excluding any roots). Combine this with two handfuls of chopped young bunch grass, or thick blade grass, and two handfuls of young wheat grass.  Add four cups of young pink clover (when in bloom), and a handful of chopped parsley....

TL;DR in English: Try some “no-bake” cookies. Prepare a banana-glazed apple. Make some frozen grape pops. Try a healthy grass salad. Prepare a fruity salad.

For a full tang knife, there are two pieces of handle, one on each side. Cut and sand the pieces at the same time to ensure that both sides are symmetrical. Drill the holes for the rivets on each side. Avoid getting epoxy on the blade, as it can be difficult to remove. Place it in a vise and let it dry overnight. Insert the rivets, leaving about an extra 1/8” sticking out each side, and peen them with a ball-peen hammer. File the rivets down and sand the handle.

TL;DR in English: Cut out your handle pieces. Attach the pieces with epoxy. Use a saw to perform the final cuts and adjustments to the handle.

Look around your house and find some paper clips of different sizes. You can go to your local craft store, convenience store, or office depot to find more paper clips if you ran out.   Use different color paper clips to make your hoop piercing more creative. Depending on how thick you want your piercing, you may want to use multiple paper clips. Two paper clip hoops can be placed together to create a thicker hoop. With one pair of flat nose pliers, pull the paper clip out of its original shape. Then use the pliers to help you straighten it out completely by pulling each end flat.   Cut the straightened paper clip using scissors or diagonal cutting pliers, if you want to make it smaller. The length of the straightened paper clip will affect the size of the hoop piercing. The size of the cylinder object depends on how wide you want your hoop piercing. Pens, markers, and highlighters can work for this step.   Take one end of your straightened paper clip and curve it around your cylinder object. Roll the object to make the entire straightened paper clip curved into a hoop. Depending on how long your straightened paper clip was, you may have to gently pull apart the ends of your “hoop” so you have a gap for your skin. Figuring out where you want your piercing will help you decide how wide of a gap to leave between the two ends of the paper clip, so your skin can fit inside. Hoop piercings are usually worn on the lip, nose, septum, or eyebrow. Apply a small amount of eyelash glue to the ends of the paper clip(s). Eyelash glue is the best adhesive for fake facial piercings because it is already made for the skin, so it will last the longest and not be harmful.   Choose an eyelash glue with a small applicator. Let the glue set on the ends for 20-30 seconds before applying to the skin. Tweezers are the most effective when handling paper clips. You will be able to hold them steady and not get any glue on unwanted areas of your face. Place your paper clip hoop where you want your piercing.

TL;DR in English: Find some paper clips. Straighten the paper clip out with pliers. Roll it with a cylinder object. Decide where you want your piercing. Apply eyelash glue to the ends. Use tweezers to place your piercing.

You will need to fill out a volunteer application at the hospital. Often, an application can be completed online or downloaded from the hospital website. Typically, a member of the volunteer office will contact you to once your application has been received and notify you of the next steps. Make sure you include the specific areas that you would like to volunteer in on your application.  Choose more than one area of interest on your application in case you do not get your first choice.  Most hospitals will conduct a background and criminal check as part of your application. Get your application in as soon as you can.  Slots may be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are applying to a special summer program, check the application dates. The dates may be different than the deadline for other types of volunteers. Typically, hospitals will require that you have a received your MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine and a recent Tuberculosis (TB) skin test. If you have already received these vaccinations, you will need documentation of your results. If you have not received these vaccinations, you will need to have them before you can volunteer at a hospital.  Some hospitals also require a influenza (flu) vaccination and Varicella (Chicken Pox) vaccination or immunity.  Visit your primary care physician or local health department if you need to get your vaccinations and TB test. Many hospitals like to interview potential volunteers. Be prepared to answer some questions when you go in for your interview. Why do you want to volunteer at the hospital? What would like to do as a volunteer? What are your interests? Do you have any special skills? How did you hear about the hospital volunteer program?  It may help to think about these questions and write down the answers before your interview. Do not think of the interview as a formal job interview.  The hospital is really trying to find a volunteer placement that is a good fit for you. Give honest answers and be yourself during the interview. You will...

Parenting skills, like any other ability, can be learned.  Taking parenting classes can help you learn what you’ll need to know and do as you prepare for the arrival of a newborn.  Most classes cover changing diapers, bathing, burping, and feeding your baby, among other skills. For a unique bonding experience, attend these classes with your partner. Books that offer advice to expectant parents (and, especially, books targeted specifically towards men) can offer valuable insights and information.  Many of these books are available at your local library, though you could of course buy them, too. Focus on learning practical skills like how to calm a crying baby. When your partner goes to the doctor for checkups and ultrasounds, tag along.  Listen to the doctor’s advice.  Write down information about what the birth process will entail and how you can prepare for the newborn’s arrival. Talk to your partner about where they want you to be during labor.  Some expectant mothers want their partners in the birthing room during labor.  Others expect their partner to remain outside.  There is no right way for a couple to plan this experience, but you should discuss the options together and come to an agreement. If you’re invited into the birthing room, you’ll probably just be there to squeeze your partner’s hand and offer moral support.

TL;DR in English: Take parenting classes. Read parenting books. Attend prenatal care appointments. Plan for the actual birth process.

Yellow finches make their nests near the tops of these plants. They prefer spots where 2 or 3 branches fork, forming a bowl that provides plenty of support for a new nest. These spots are usually covered from above by a cluster of leaves or needles but visible from below.  Finches often build nests among dogwoods, elderberries, buttonbushes, hawthorns, Monterey pines, willows, fruit trees, and even tall thistles. Watch areas that already have these sorts of trees and shrubs. You may be able to spot some finches without putting these plants directly on your property. The best areas are large and secluded with lots of sunlight. Finches generally make their nests between 3 ft (0.91 m) to 10 ft (3.0 m) off the ground. It protects the nests from cats and other predators. Set your feeders near areas with taller shrubs and trees to have a better chance of attracting finches. Give new shrubs and trees plenty of space to grow. Yellow finches are easier to spot in more open spaces. Yellow finches love thistle plants, which also double as a food source. Milkweed, cattails, and cottonwood are a few other types of plants that attract finch nests. However, you may see finches in your area even if you aren't able to grow these plants. Finches are adaptable and will use other material they find as needed. Many types of thistle grow quickly and are considered invasive. Check your local regulations for restrictions on growing thistle and try to choose a type that occurs naturally in your area. to serve as a bright food source. Black oil sunflowers attract many types of birds, including finches. Yellow finches also eat seeds from asters, purple coneflowers, and black-eyed Susans. Other colorful flowers, including daisies, cosmos, marigolds, poppies, and zinnias, are like beacons for these birds.  Some people swear by yellow flowers. While they do attract finches, birds have sharp eyes capable of noticing any type of bright color. Don't deadhead these flowers after their blooms fade. Finches feed on seeds from marigolds,...

Certain medications react with green tea, and they can have adverse affects. Ephedrine is a medication that can help with breathing. However, when taken with green tea, it can cause tremors, nervousness, and insomnia because both green tea and ephedrine are stimulants. Green tea can reduce the effectiveness of these drugs. This side effect is also a problem with dipyridamole. This combination can cause blood pressure to skyrocket, so this combination is best avoided. With phenylpropanolamine, green tea can also induce mania. Antibiotics can decrease your body's ability to break down caffeine, making the effects last longer. This side effect can also happen with cimetidine, birth control, fluvoxamine, and disulfiram.

TL;DR in English: Know the risks. Don't drink green tea with ephedrine. Avoid drinking green tea with drugs like clozapine and lithium. Avoid green tea with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and phenylpropanolamine. Avoid drinking green tea with antibiotics if you're susceptible to caffeine.

Turn on the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Get out a rimmed baking sheet and lay aluminum foil across the bottom. Set the pan aside while you prepare the yam. Wash 1 large yam and use a vegetable peeler to remove the peel. Take a sharp knife and carefully cut the yam into 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick slices. Slice the yam horizontally so you get circular slices. Place the slices on the sheet so they overlap a little. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil over the yam and sprinkle the slices with 1 teaspoon (5 g) of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon (2 g) of freshly ground black pepper. Put the pan in the preheated oven and bake the yam for about 30 minutes. Insert a fork to ensure that the yam is totally soft once it's finished cooking. It should begin to curl slightly around the edges too. Remove the yam and serve it immediately. You can store leftover yam slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll keep for a day or two.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven and prepare a pan. Cut the yam and place it on the sheet. Season the yam. Roast the sliced yam for about 30 minutes.

Hold the wig over the sink, and gently squeeze the fibers in your fist. Do not wring or twist the fibers, however, as this can cause them to tangle or break. Do not brush the wig while it is wet. Doing so can damage the fibers and lead to frizz. Place the wig down on the end of a clean towel. Roll the towel into a tight bundle, starting from the end that has the wig on it. Press down on the towel, then gently unroll it and remove the wig. If the wig is long, make sure that the strands are smoothed out and not bunched up. Spray the wig with some conditioning spray to help make detangling it easier later on; be sure to hold the bottle 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) away from the wig. If the wig is curly, consider applying some styling mousse to it instead. Do not brush the wig while it is wet, as this can damage the fibers. If your wig is curly, use your fingers to "scrunch" it every so often.  Scrunching is where you cup your hand under the ends of the hair, lift it upward, then curl your fingers inward. This causes the curls to bunch up and take form. If you are using a Styrofoam wig head, make sure that it is mounted onto a stable wig stand. Secure the wig to the wig head with pins, if needed. Use a hair dryer to dry the wig cap first. Once the cap is dry, place the wig onto your head, and secure it with bobby pins. Finish blow drying the wig while it is on your head. Be sure to use a low-heat setting so as not to damage the fibers. Make sure that you pin your real hair up and cover it with a wig cap before putting the wig on. Turn the wig upside down, then clip the nape part of the wig cape to a pants hanger. You will have to move the pins on the pants hanger closer together in order to achieve this. Hang the wig up in the shower for a few hours so that it can air dry; don't use the shower at this point. If the shower is not available, hang the wig some place that won't get damaged by the water that drips off of the fibers.

TL;DR in English: Turn the wig right-side-out and gently squeeze the water out. Roll the wig up in a towel to remove the excess water. Apply your desired products to the wig. Allow the wig to air dry on a wig stand out of direct sunlight. Blow dry the wig on your head if you are in a hurry. Allow the wig to dry upside down if you want more volume.

Start with short intervals and increase the time with the bunny. Consider placing a nice plate of greens out for the rabbit to eat while you stroke the rabbit to decrease any potential anxiety.  Don't make sudden moves or sounds that might alarm your rabbit. Be gentle and soothing when you pet the rabbit. Rabbits are prey animals, so when they feel threatened, they run and hide if they can. Sit on the floor to minimize your size and avoid towering over the bunny. Never pick up a rabbit by his ears, legs, scruff, or tail. Rabbits are very delicate and you could severely injure them if you pick them up incorrectly. Grabbing on to limbs, tails, or ears will cause the rabbit to react by pulling away. Doing so may cause a fracture or a dislocation or tearing of underlying muscle and soft tissue.  A bunny new to the household should be picked up and restrained by adults at first. Children can pet the bunny while it is on the floor or while sitting in the child’s (or adult’s) lap sitting on the floor. Staying close to the ground for a while is a good preventative measure. Should the rabbit try to escape, they will not fall a long distance and potentially injure themselves. Reward the rabbit with a treat afterward. This will help it get used to the feeling of being picked up. Do not pick the rabbit up by the scruff alone, but use this as a handle to prevent forward motion while you use your other hand arm to tuck the hind legs under the bunny and scrunch the bunny in a gentle “bunny ball.”  Your free hand that is not holding the scruff should be placed on the bunny’s rump. You should roll the back legs underneath, toward the front of the bunny, holding the feet up with your hand. This will prevent the rabbit from kicking out and potentially injuring itself. There are differing opinions on whether or not to scruff a rabbit. Scruffing, done gently, does not injure the rabbit. Place one under his chest and one under its behind. The positioning should be comfortable for both you and the rabbit. Make sure you have a firm...

TL;DR in English: Help your rabbit get comfortable with handling by petting the rabbit gently. Know how not to pick up a rabbit. Practice placing your palm under the rabbit's chest and gently lifting its front legs off the ground, then setting it back down. Gently use the loose skin behind the rabbit’s neck to hold onto its scruff. Use two hands to lift the rabbit up. Use the right approach. Coax the rabbit out of a hiding place, don't drag it out. Look for warning signs that the rabbit will not allow you to pick it up.

The best way to get your crush’s name on Snapchat is to be direct. Whether in person or over direct message on another app, you can start the conversation casually or just say, “Hey, what’s your Snapchat name? I want to add you.”  If you don’t know the person, check their other profiles (such as Facebook or Instagram) for a link to their Snapchat ID, or just ask a mutual friend what their name is. If you’re connected to your crush on social media, you may be able to add them with Quick Add. Open Snapchat and swipe left to the Stories screen. Tap the magnifying glass, then swipe left on the contact list. If you see your crush, tap +Add next to their name. If you want your crush to swoon over your stories, they’ll need to be following you on Snapchat. If they don’t follow you back on their own, ask them by sending an intriguing Snap that says, “Follow me back!” If you think there’s a chance the person may not know who you are by your username, make sure the Snap includes your name or a photo.

TL;DR in English:


Purchase a betta fish. Introduce the fish to the tank. Change the tank water when necessary. Clean the tank regularly.

Another alternative is to use similar one-to-one or group courses. It's actually useful to pair people up and role play for the purpose of letting people develop their own insight. As they review the manner in which they make the role-play calls, they may become more aware of their own phone mannerisms and how to self-improve. Avoid the "training recordings" as a learning method. It's quite an old fashioned method to record and replay phone calls for training sessions, while everyone listens to a coworker on a call. This can backfire as no one knows if their calls are being listened to "Big Brother" style and it may put them on edge, especially when a caller is being particularly confrontational, or the phone handler is having a bad day that may be unusual. This is also an excellent trick for smaller companies as well. The caller can be encouraged to imagine a person at the other end as someone who is likely wearing a suit in a huge office, but who in reality is sitting in an informal small-business office, or at the opposite end of the spectrum, operating from a large, busy corporate call center. Stage techniques are surprisingly influential and can help a person express themselves more clearly and confidently. A good example is the frequently suggested technique of smiling when you pick up the phone, but it works the other way, too; it's detectable to clients when the person at the other end is trying to sound happy and helpful, but isn't really--it's like grinning through your teeth, or hiding your misery, it still comes through. It's best to relax the face and throat (something that is taught in drama classes) to be able to speak more naturally and pleasantly. A gentle smile is fine, especially when it is sincere and reaches not just your face, but also your eyes. Go through the calls from greeting to closure, and experiment with different types of user personalities, allowing your analysts to respond in the moment. Once completed, take the time to discuss the ways it could have been handled differently...

TL;DR in English: Look into using DVD or video training programs. Send your staff members for elocution or drama/theatrical lessons if they're working in a high-profile office. Do phone role plays.

Peonies thrive best when planted in autumn, before the first hard frost. Peonies may be planted in the spring, but these plants tend to grow more slowly, and may not bloom for a year or two. If this is not available, peonies can still grow in areas with less sunlight, but their growth and bloom will be reduced. Peonies grow best in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 8, corresponding to minimum winter temperatures of -40 to +15ºF (-40 to -9.4ºC). If you are in Zone 8 or higher, peonies may benefit from afternoon shade, with full sunlight in the morning. Plan to keep each clump of peony tubers three feet (0.9 m.) apart. They are often used in flower beds, but keep them at away from trees and bushes, as woody root systems can compete with peonies for nutrients.  Keeping peonies spaced apart and clearing weeds to allow for air circulation is important for avoiding fungal infections.  Tree peony varieties will do better with four ft. (1.2 m) of space between them. If you are not sure what type of peony you have, see the planting peonies section below. Peonies may develop problems if planted in areas where other peonies were previously grown. It is possible this is due to reduced soil nutrients, in which case the advice in the planting section below may compensate for this effect. There may be some risk of a surviving fungal infection as well, however, so plant at your own risk. This is mostly a concern for tree peonies, which grow into small shrubs that can snap in the wind. However, if you are an area with unusually strong winds, plant any variety of peony in the shelter of a wall or fence. A large tree can also provide shelter, but should be located at least 10 ft. (3 m.) away so the roots do not compete with the peony.

TL;DR in English: Plant in autumn. Choose a location that receives six to eight hours of sunlight each day. Space the peonies about three feet (0.9 meters) apart. Avoid areas where peonies were previously planted. Provide shelter from strong winds.

After pulling clothes out of the dryer, pile the clothes on your bed so you can easily get to them and fold them one by one. You'll need a space on your bed big enough to lay pants out flat. This way there's plenty of room to fold each pair of pants properly.

TL;DR in English: Start by putting all of your clothes laid out or in a pile to get started. Have a space cleared so you can fold them well.
###
To start, focus on putting together a collection of 5 to 10 collared shirts and at least 5 dress bottoms (including slacks and skirts). Instead of purchasing trendy or wildly patterned garments, choose simple, timeless, and easy-to-match items. For instance, slacks, shirts, and skirts in navy, gray, beige, black, and white are better choices that polka-dot blouses and neon green jeans. It may take some digging, but you can often find gently used, quality items at discount and second-hand shops. Stores in affluent areas are especially great for bargain hunting.  Try to find out when a store stocks the shelves, and visit it on those days to search through the new inventory. Find steals and deals, but go for quality over quantity. Invest in well-made items that will last for years instead of garments that will fall apart in a matter of months. In addition to shopping second-hand, look for end-of-season sales at brand name stores and outlets. If you wait a few months and shop for clothes at the end of a season, you can often find items discounted by 50% off or more. Again, the key is to end-of-season shopping is to choose pieces that will stand the test of time. A simple, white collared shirt or blouse won't go out of style next season. On the other hand, wild patterns, ruffles, and other trendy details may not be so fashionable next year. With proper care, well-made clothes can last for years. Wash your clothes according to the tags’ instructions, and hang or fold them promptly to help preserve the fabric.  Try to keep machine drying to a minimum, especially for dress shirts and slacks. Instead, hang your garments and allow them to air dry. As for stains, dabbing any spots with cold water and, if necessary, mild detergent, often does the trick, provided you attack the stain within a few minutes. The one exception is ink, which should be treated with alcohol instead of water. You might need to splurge on a good, well-tailored suit, but it's definitely worth the expense. Choose a solid, neutral color instead of...

TL;DR in English: Choose items in neutral colors that you can mix and match. Shop at discount retailers, thrift stores, and consignment shops. Hunt for end-of-season deals. Take care of your clothes so they last longer. Invest in a versatile suit for formal occasions.

Once you have the lyrics to the song down, you can add music to them to help them feel more emotional. Often, a simple guitar melody can add an emotional, intimate mood to the song. Try copying the guitar melodies in your favorite songs. Add your own twist or riff to the melody to make it your own. Piano can also be a good way to add emotion and meaning to song lyrics. Try playing piano on a keyboard or get access to a grand piano. Play a simple melody on the piano and sing the lyrics to the melody. Alicia Key’s song “Fallin’” is a good example of using piano in a song to create an emotional atmosphere. Strings like violin or cello can add more of a lush, soft mood to the song. Drums can also add a slow tempo to the song, making it feel more emotional and intimate.  You can ask a violinist or cellist to play on the song. You can also try to find a drummer. Alternatively, you can add strings and drums to the song using digital music equipment that imitates these sounds. If you'd prefer not to have music with the song, do an acapella version of the song where there is no instrumentation besides your voice. Practice singing the song a few times before you record it acapella. Play with the inflection of words and phrases in the song. Imbue your voice with emotion when you sing the song acapella so the listener can hear it in your voice.

TL;DR in English: Try playing a melody on the guitar. Use piano in the song. Add strings and drums to the song. Record the song acapella.

It's best not to actually bring a fish home until your tank is set up, cycled and ready to go. That way you'll be able to help the betta make the transition to its new home as soon as possible. Go to the pet store and choose a new betta to bring home. Remember, every betta needs its own tank; even females.  Look for an active, healthy betta with a brightly-colored body and undamaged fins. If a betta seems to be floating aimlessly, it may be sick. Choose a one that swims strongly. Float the bag or cup in the tank for twenty minutes to an hour. Keep the bag closed and set the bagged betta into the tank so that the water inside the bag comes to the same temperature as the tank water. This will prevent the betta from getting a temperature shock when it enters the tank. After about one hour, it's time to release the fish. Open the bag and let the fish swim freely into the tank. From now on, care for the betta as follows:  Feed the betta once or twice a day. Provide a varied diet of high-quality betta pellets, frozen & live foods.  Freeze-dried foods are more likely to cause boating and it has little to no nutritional value, it should be used as an occasional bi-weekly treat or rightfully avoided. Do not overfeed, or your betta will become very bloated. If you have a tank that is 5 to 10 gallons (18.9 to 37.9 L), you will need to change out 25% percent of the water every week to maintain a healthy tank. To change the water,  Use a gravel vacuum/siphon to suck debris up into a bucket until you have removed the correct amount of water. You do not need to remove your fish from the tank as you clean it. Dump the water out into the sink, bathtub, or shower and fill it up with clean water. Remember to condition it! Pour in the fresh water. Reintroduce your betta to the tank after the water has heated to the correct temperature. Your cleaning method will depend on the type and size of your chosen tank. Scrub the sides of the tank and any decorations that have collected waste and debris with an unused toothbrush.  Use...

Pai Gow Poker is a variation of poker that uses the traditional 5-card hand. However, instead of playing against the other players at the table, everyone is playing against the dealer's hand. Before you play Pai Gow Poker, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic 5-card poker hands.  Royal flush: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and a 10 of the same suit. Straight flush: 5 consecutive cards of the same suit like ace, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of clubs. 4 of a kind: 4 of the same cards, but different suits. Full house: 3 cards of the same ran plus 2 cards of the same rank. Flush: 5 cards of the same suit. Straight: 5 cards in sequence but can be from different suits, like 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 3 of a kind: 3 of the same cards. 2 pair: 2 matching cards of the same ranking and 2 matching cards of another rank. A pair: 2 matching cards. High card: the highest ranking card in the hand. In Pai Gow poker, you're dealt 7 cards each round. Once you get your cards, you need to arrange your best 5-card hand and your best 2-card hand. Your 5-card hand has to be better than your 2-card hand. For your 2-card hand, the best you can get is a pair. Not every one of the 5 cards needs to be a part of your hand. For example, if you have 3 of a kind, the remaining 2 cards can simply form the rest of your 5-card hand. In Pai Gow poker, you play against the dealer, not the other players at the table. If both your 5-card hand and your 2-card hand beats the dealer, you win the round and double the bet that you placed. Lose both of your hands against the dealer's hands, then you lose your bet. If you win 1 of your hands and the dealer wins the other, then the round ends in a push and nobody wins the round. If both of your hands tie the dealer, then the dealer wins that round.

TL;DR in English: Learn the 10 basic 5-card hands in traditional poker. Make your best 2 hands out of the cards you're dealt each round. Try to beat both of the dealer's hands to win a round.

People who break knuckles often report feeling a popping or snapping sensation in their hand the moment the break occurs.  The snapping feeling can be caused by the actual breaking of the bone or pieces of the bone popping out of their original place.  If you feel this occur, it is a good idea to stop what you’re doing and examine your hand. The popping sensation isn’t always present when a knuckle is broken.  Whether or not you’ll experience a popping feeling depends on the severity of your fracture. A broken knuckle is often referred to as a “boxer’s fracture” because it occurs most often when a person punches a hard surface.  When your injury happened, were you punching a wall or some other immovable surface?  Maybe you were involved in a fist fight.  If you have been hitting something solid, there’s a good chance you may have broken your knuckle.  There are other possible ways to break your knuckle that are not as common.  You can break your knuckle while falling down, working with machines or doing any activity that exposes your hand to trauma. Some doctors now call a broken knuckle a “brawler’s fracture” instead of a “boxer’s fracture” because boxers prevent broken knuckles by wearing protective gear.  You’re more likely to break a knuckle hitting something with your bare fist. A broken knuckle will be accompanied with severe, immediate pain.  Right when the injury occurs, you will experience a sharp pang in your hand which will be followed by an intense throbbing feeling.  Depending on your body’s tolerance for pain, the feeling can be debilitating and force you to stop whatever you’re doing. If your knuckle only has a minor fracture, the pain may not be as severe.  However, you should still stop using your hand as you could further injure your knuckle. The moment you break your knuckle, the blood will start flowing towards the area of the fracture causing your hand to get hot.  Check the temperature in your injured hand and then your other hand.  If your injured hand feels much warmer than the other...

TL;DR in English: Experience a popping sensation. Identify the cause of the injury. Feel immediate pain. Take the temperature of your hand.

These are people that you absolutely must invite, for whatever reason. These could be your best friends or family members that you couldn’t imagine having a party without, or any people that you feel completely obligated to invite. Typically, non-negotiables are people you desperately want at your party or the people that you must invite to avoid tension. Once you’ve created this list, you can determine how much space you have left to invite others. If you’re having an engagement party, your soon-to-be mother-in-law is a non-negotiable. You may not love her, but there is no way you can exclude her. This applies to all ages and types of parties. If you’re a child hosting a sleepover and you invite your best friend, they may want to bring their other best friend. If you’re inviting your favorite co-worker to your dinner party, you should probably expect his new fiancée to join him. These things are important to consider when planning a party both for logistical reasons, such as food, drinks, space, etc., but also for the dynamic and mood of the party as a whole. A party may go more smoothly if everyone feels comfortable, whether they brought a guest or have other friends in attendance. These are any guests that have problems or bad blood with each other. There may be two people you really want at your birthday party, but it won’t be much fun if they’re fighting with each other the whole time. This can be a difficult task, but you need to try your best to avoid potential conflicts or awkward situations.  Sometimes you just can't eliminate all potential conflict pairs. If there are two people who are at odds that you absolutely must invite, consider planning a larger-sized party where there will be plenty of other people to divert attention and reduce overall tension. If you're planning a smaller party where the two conflicting guests will be in contact with each other, let them both know beforehand. Tell them privately that the other person will be there, and you hope they can respect your desire to have a calm...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of the non-negotiable guests. Consider the relationships or “plus-ones” of your non-negotiable guests. Eliminate any potential conflicting pairs. Invite everyone if you are inviting a majority. Invite people you want to invite.

An annuity is essentially an insurance contract that guarantees that you will have money throughout your retirement. For a lump sum you can get an immediate annuity, which will generate payments right away. The payments received will depend on the lump sum you invest, current inflation rates, and your age.  Ask an agent form your insurance company to outline your annuity options to invest your savings wisely. These payments can be received monthly, quarterly, or annually. You can choose to get payments up until a certain age, or until death. For older people, the annual payout of an immediate annuity can be as high as 10%. if you do not need to earn an income from interest right away, opt for a deferred annuity. This will give you time to invest tax deferred money from each paycheck while you are working, which will grow tax free for you to collect, in regular payments, starting at a later date. See what deferred annuity options your insurance company offers to start building your financial security as early as possible. Contributions to your deferred annuity do not have to happen at regular intervals or in equal amounts. There is no yearly contribution limit so you can invest large sums whenever you want to have them build interest, tax free. With a variable annuity, the money you invest will be split between different bonds, stocks, according to your risk level and preferences. There is a minimum income generated, which depends on variables like your age and the nature of the investments you've chosen. Ask your insurance provider about setting up a variable income annuity if you want your investment to be split into several subgroups with multiple opportunities for growth.

TL;DR in English: Purchase an immediate annuity to get income right away. Get a deferred annuity if you are still years away from retirement. Choose a variable income annuity to diversify your investment.

Your compost should be in a location that is not too close to your home, so that any smells produced won't bother you and so that any rodents that visit it won't migrate into your home. It can be in the sun or shade, but understand that compost bins in the sun will break down quicker but will likely need more water added. Also, make sure the pile is in an area where there is room to turn it. It is best to have a compost pile on an area of soil a few feet away from plants, not on a deck or patio, so that turning and moving the compost will be easy. If you want a quick and easy way to start your compost pile, there are a variety of bins that can be purchased at home improvement stores or through many local municipalities. These are often black plastic tubes with a lid on top and an open bottom. They are typically cheap to purchase and easy to set up and use right away. The solid-sided black plastic compost bins also provide a bit of protection from rodents or other animals getting into your compost pile, while open topped or sided bins do not. If you have a specific shape or size of bin you want, it is easy for you to make your own custom compost bin. Most home compost bins have a frame made of wood and sides that can either be wood or wire mesh. Depending on your needs, aim for the bin to be at least 1 cubic yard or 1 cubic meter, as this will give you a decent amount of compost while not taking up too much space in your yard. A 1 cubic yard compost bin will be about 3 feet (0.91 m) tall and the sides will be 4 feet (1.2 m) wide. While compost containers keep compost contained and can help keep rodents and other animals at bay, it is also OK to make a composting pile right on the ground. All that is required is a designated space where your yard debris and kitchen scraps can be piled up. While having a bin will keep the process neater and will help to discourage animals if you are composting food scraps, having a simple pile will make turning and maintaining the compost quicker and easier. While having a...

TL;DR in English: Pick a spot for your compost pile. Purchase a pre-made compost bin. Construct a  bin for your compost. Consider making a pile right on the ground. Participate in municipal composting if you can't make your own pile.

Put the chicks (and the hen, if she is living with them) in an outdoor cage and then watch them dig for bugs, dust bathe in dirt/sand and explore the new environment. Be cautious and make sure they cannot get out. To be sure, watch them for a minute or two to see how they adapt to their surroundings. If you're not watching them, put a tarpaulin on top of the cage so no birds will attack/scare them. Make sure to weight down the blanket with something heavy (like bricks) so the wind won't blow it away. After they are a couple weeks old, place a small, shallow tub in their enclosure. Fill the tub with sand. They will soon begin dust bathing, a ritual quail really love. Dust bathing also prevents mites, lice and other nasty parasites. Quail chicks grow fast, so you will soon see that they will need more space. Keep your chicks isolated, but move them to a bigger brooder when they reach 3 weeks of age. The chicks will need twice as much space at 3 weeks: about 1 sq ft (930 cm2) per chick. Once the chicks have most of their feathers, they are ready to be put outside with other adult birds. If these will be your first outdoor birds, build them a quail habitat in your yard.

Lambrusco or Trebbiano grapes are typically the best type for making balsamic vinegar. Crush the grapes using whatever method you’d like, such as placing them in a bowl and mashing them with a kitchen utensil.  Keep in mind that this is usually done with many pounds of grapes using a machine that crushes the grapes and eliminates the pulpy parts when balsamic vinegar is made from companies. The grape juice resulting from the grapes being crushed is called “must.” Wear an apron to prevent grape juice from getting on your clothing. Place the squeezed grapes and liquid in a strainer to remove any seeds, pulp, or skin with a bowl under the strainer to catch the liquid. You may need to press down on the crushed grapes to remove any lingering juice, ensuring you remove all the fresh juice that you can. Cook the grape juice until the liquid is reduced by a third or a half, causing it to thicken. Cook the juice slowly, bringing it just under a boil. When it’s done, it will have a nice caramel color and a thick consistency.  Cooking the grapes is important because it kills off bacteria. Avoid exceeding 195 °F (91 °C) while it’s boiling. Use something such as a large kettle or pot to cook the juice. You may need to use multiple barrels if you squeezed a lot of grapes. Place a cloth on top of the hole in the barrel to help with evaporation. These wooden barrels are called “batteria.” While many balsamic vinegar producers let their vinegar age for 25-50 years, the minimum is 12 years. Storing the juice in barrels helps the juice turn into acetic acid. The barrels don’t need to stay in an area with a regulated temperature—an attic or similar room is ideal as the temperature fluctuations actually help the vinegar progress. Each year that the juice sits in the barrel, it will lose roughly 10% of its volume. It’s important to move the liquid into smaller barrels each time this happens. Having barrels made of different types of wood, such as cherry, oak, and juniper, gives the liquid added taste each time it’s transferred. ...

TL;DR in English: Squeeze fresh grapes to use the juice. Strain the crushed grapes to reveal pure juice. Simmer the grape juice for 2-3 days in a large pot. Pour the grape juice into a wooden barrel. Store the grape juice in wooden barrels for at least 12 years. Transfer the juice to a smaller barrel once a year. Continue transferring the liquid until you’re satisfied with its taste.

Deep breathing slows your heart rate, lowers your blood pressure, and calms you overall.  Take a slow, deep breath in through your mouth. Try to feel it in your lower abdomen. Slowly release the breath through your nose. Take a few deep breaths whenever you feel road rage or anxiety and tension building when you are driving. Take as many breaths as you need to calm yourself and feel relaxed. You may find that your hands are clinched on the wheel, shoulders hunched, neck tight, and jaw tense. You can relax when driving if you do things that relieve the tension in your body.  Shrug your shoulders up and down to relax them. Roll them forward and then backwards a few times. Relax your jaw and forehead. Smiling, even briefly, can help you relax your facial muscles. Turn your head slightly back and forth and left and right to release tension in your neck. Do some hand and finger stretches when you are stopped at a red light. Being mindful means focusing your attention in the here and now, on driving and only driving. Focusing your mind completely on driving doesn’t give your mind much room to think about anything upsetting and can help you relax when you are driving.  Take notice of all your senses as you drive. What do you hear, see, or smell? What does the car feel like? Pay attention to how your body feels. You may say to yourself, “My shoulders feel tense and my stomach is queasy.” Take notice of your thoughts and emotions. For example, you might think, “I feel worried and nervous. I keep thinking about getting on the highway.” Allow yourself to experience your feelings without trying to stop them from happening. Notice as the feelings slowly go away and how you feel as they do. It is easy to start saying things to yourself that increase your feelings of tension, stress, anger, and anxiety. You can relax when you are driving if you make an effort to think relaxing thoughts and talk to yourself in a calm way.  For example , when someone is driving unsafely, you may want to say to yourself, “They cut me off! This...

TL;DR in English: Practice deep breathing techniques.This is one way that you can instantly relax when you are driving. Release tension in your body. Use mindfulness strategies. Change your self-talk.

Sinking shrimp pellets or lobster bites should make up the majority of your crayfish’s diet. Pellet-type foods are high in protein and contain all the nutrients crayfish need to grow and develop healthy shells. Sprinkle the pellets around all of your pet’s favorite hiding spots to make it easy for it to get to them.  Crayfish can also have frozen aquarium foods occasionally, such as daphnia, bloodworms, and brine shrimp. Never feed your crayfish live or uncooked shrimp. Shrimp carry diseases that can be fatal to crays. Every now and then, cut some leaf lettuce, cabbage, zucchini, or cucumber into small strips and drop them to the bottom of the tank. Offerings like peas, carrots, and sweet potatoes are also okay. Crayfish love munching on plant matter, so don’t be surprised if they disappear in a hurry! It’s perfectly fine for crayfish to eat spoiled or decaying organic matter. In fact, treating your crayfish to veggies that are going bad is a great way to kill two birds with one stone. One or two shakes of shrimp pellets or a smattering of vegetables per day should be more than enough to keep your crayfish satisfied. Remove any uneaten portions of food soon after feeding your crayfish. Anything left sitting at the bottom of the tank will quickly decompose, dirtying the water and making more frequent changes necessary.  If you're caring for more than one crayfish (which isn’t recommended), it’s okay to double the amount of food you administer. Still, keep an eye out for leftovers and scoop them out whatever remnants you find quickly. Overeating can actually be bad for crayfish, as it causes their exoskeletons to become soft and weak.

TL;DR in English: Give your crayfish a small amount of shrimp pellets once a day. Use vegetables to supplement your crayfish’s diet. Avoid overfeeding your crayfish.

Whether you’re concerned that you may be getting bullied yourself, or you’re a parent concerned that your child is being bullied, watching out for a few indicative signs is a good way to detect cyberbullying. Cyberbullying often takes the form of one person harassing another through emails, instant messages, text messages or other modes of electronic communication. Harassment is taking place if the bully is directly contacting someone with one or more of the following types of messaging:  Hateful or threatening messages. This includes name-calling, attempts to control someone’s behavior by threatening to expose embarrassing information, or threats of violence. Embarrassing or threatening images or videos. Multiple unwanted emails, instant messages, or texts, regardless of the content. Lies about the person to make them look bad. Another common form of cyberbullying occurs when the bully harasses a target by way of public embarrassment, rather than directly contacting the victim. Cyberbullies may use public tactics, like spreading rumors and gossip using social media, text messages and other tools. Other means of public humiliation via online platforms include:  Posting humiliating messages on a social media site, a blog, or another public space. Sharing pictures or videos that are embarrassing or explicit in nature on social media websites and through text messaging. Creating a website filled with defamatory images, insults, and rumors about the target. A less obvious, but equally harmful form of cyberbullying takes place when the bully attacks someone by impersonating them as a way to bring about humiliation or punishment. In some cases the bully may create a screen name nearly identical to the screen name used by someone else, then use that name to create embarrassing or threatening situations for them. In this case it is more difficult to identify the perpetrator. Report the impersonation to the website or your service provider.

TL;DR in English: Look for signs of harassment. Look for signs of public online humiliation. Look for signs of online impersonation.

You won't have to force the dieting in order to shed those post baby pounds. Breastfeeding naturally burns calories (about 500 a day) and much of the weight will go away naturally as your body shrinks. Even your lactating breasts can add a couple pounds, so don't worry too much about dieting. Losing those 30 pounds will be easier than you think. This article will discuss healthy ways to keep you from putting on any more weight (and possibly even lose a small amount of weight), but in general you should wait until after you stop breastfeeding to start dieting.  For example, let’s say you normally ate about 2000 calories a day, pre-baby. During pregnancy, you gained 35 pounds. Now, you’ll lose about 9-10 pounds just by giving birth. You’ll lose another several pounds as your body naturally shrinks down and puts itself back together. Now for the rest of those pounds, right? A diet would normally involve cutting your calories intake by about 500 calories, which your body is already doing by making breast milk. Simply by feeding yourself a healthy diet and breastfeeding your baby, you will lose all of the baby weight in just a few months. The fact of the matter is that you’re supposed to eat more and be a little rounder when you’re pregnant and for a while after you have your baby. This is normal and healthy! By trying to get thin again so soon after your baby is born, you put yourself at risk. You may also be putting your child at risk, if your dieting choices lead you to an unhealthy diet. The diets that you normally consider when you think of dieting are largely going to hurt you and your baby. This is especially true of any diet which limits your food groups. You need to a widely varied diet in order to get the nutrients that your baby needs and keep your own body healthy. As a general rule, you want to eat healthy and exercise during this time, not do anything that that promises to drop X pounds in Y days. Atkins, South Beach, and any diet that goes very heavy on the protein and fish (like the Mediterranean...

TL;DR in English: Let your body naturally lose weight first. Don't follow structured or fad diets. Count calories the right way. Vary the food groups in your diet. Stay away from foods that are hazardous to your baby. Consider cutting out foods that may cause problems for some babies.

VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) applications allow you to make international calls for much cheaper than through your phone provider. All you need is a computer, tablet or smart phone, and an Internet connection.  Popular applications include Skype, Google+ Hangouts, Viber, and Jitsi.  If you call Brazil often, check to see if your VoIP app offers subscriptions, or monthly flat rates for a predetermined amount of minutes in calls to Brazil. This can significantly reduce your per-minute VoIP costs. If you're calling someone you know, you might consider asking them to video chat with you instead. Many social media sites and applications (including Google+ Hangouts and Skype) provide free video chat services. In the same vein, many applications (Whatsapp, Skype, Facebook) allow for free calls within the applications — meaning that you'd need an Internet connection on both your end and the receiver's end to make the call. If you have no Internet connection, but you have a landline with free local minutes, a calling card is likely your best option. Calling cards vary greatly in rates and hidden fees. Look for a calling card that offers simple, straightforward pricing and few hidden and/or extra fees. Popular calling cards include Pingo, EnjoyPrepaid, Comfi, Nobelcom, and CallingCards. Unless your mobile phone has unlimited minutes, a calling card is likely not your best option, as you will end up paying for your mobile minutes on top of the calling card minutes: if your mobile phone provider charges you 25 cents per minute and the calling card costs you an additional 2 cents per minute, you'll pay at least 27 cents per minute (not including any connection fees or hidden costs you may need to pay through the calling card).

TL;DR in English:


Use pre-cut cable or spools or 500 or 100 foot (152.4 or 30.5 m) combo video (BNC Connection) / Power RG59 Siamese Coax Cable. Designate one location for your DVR and Monitor to be stationed and be sure you have enough wire to connect the DVR to the camera (leave some slack). If you purchased a pre-made RG59 cable with the BNC connections already attached to the line, then at this point you would connect it to the DVR.

Threaded anchors are made specifically for use in drywall. They have large, aggressive threads that hold to the drywall. They act as anchors for a support screw, which is what you will actually hang your pictures from. You will need to buy support screws that are the right size for your anchor. You can choose between nylon or brass threaded anchors. While the nylon anchors are cheaper, the metal ones hold up better. If your picture frame or mirror has a wire-hanger in the back, be sure to consider the slack when determining where you want the picture or mirror to hang.  If you are using 2 anchors because your item has 2 hooks, make sure to measure the distance between the hooks to determine how far apart your threads should be from one another. If you are using 2 anchors simply to provide more strength, determine their placement by first measuring the width of your object. Divide that number into 3. Place 1 anchor at the 1/3 position and the second anchor at the 2/3 position. For example, if your picture is 9 inches (23 cm) wide, you’d place 1 anchor at 3 inches (7.6 cm) in from the edge, and the second at 6 inches (15 cm). If you are using 2 anchors, double check that the 2 marks are in line either using a leveler or measuring down from the ceiling. These threaded anchors do not require a drill. Place the tip of the screw on your pencil mark and use a Phillips head screwdriver to press the anchor firmly into the wall. Turn the screwdriver to the right until it is flush in the wall.  Make sure you keep the screw perpendicular to the floor as you screw. If you get off track, back up and place it in the perpendicular position before resuming. Line up the screw and the anchor and, using either a Philips or flat head screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise just until the base of the screw comes to rest against the base of the anchor. If the object you are hanging has a mounting bracket, you may need to slide the screw through the bracket before screwing it into the anchor. Line your item’s hanging hardware up to...

TL;DR in English: Choose threaded anchors for items weighing up to 80 pounds (36 kg). Determine where you want to hang your item. Make a light pencil mark on the wall where you want to place the anchor. Screw the anchor into the wall using a Phillips head screwdriver. Place the support screw into the anchor and tighten. Hang item from the support screw.

" Ask for pads and tampons to be made available in bathrooms, so that girls don't need to take time off school because they don't have them on hand. Ask that all bathrooms have facilities for disposing of used pads and tampons. And most importantly, ask that students are allowed one break per class so that they can go if they suddenly get their period. Though there’s no shame in having anyone see your sanitary supplies, you can find places to stash them if you’re concerned about that. For one thing, you can put them in your purse, but if you can’t carry handbags in school, you can cleverly place them in your pencil case, tuck a pad into the pocket of your folder or binder, or even place a tampon down into your boots if you have no better options. If you think of some “hiding spots” in advance then you won’t be so nervous when that time of the month comes. If you have a locker, use it. This will also be an easy place for you to keep your supplies all year long instead of having to bring them when the time of the month comes. It's unlikely that you will leak through your underwear and pants, but being prepared with an extra pair of underwear and pants or leggings in the event of an emergency will help you avoid worry. Just knowing that they are there if you need them will keep you from worrying about having your period or having a leak. You can also bring a sweater or sweatshirt to wrap around your waist, just in case. If you have your period or are experiencing PMS, then you may want to add some extra chocolate to your diet. Studies show that chocolate alleviates some of the symptoms of PMS, and besides, chocolate is delicious. Having a little chocolate can make you feel more stable emotionally, in addition to giving you a tasty treat. If you tend to suffer from menstrual pain such as cramps, bloating, nausea, or any of the other symptoms that may accompany your period, then you can carry around some medicine just in case. (Just make sure your school allows it.) You can use Tylenol, Advil, Midol, or another...

TL;DR in English: Launch a campaign for making your school "period friendly. Find good places to stash your sanitary supplies. Pack an extra pair of underwear and pants just to feel safe. Pack a chocolate candy bar. Have some medicine ready to alleviate menstrual pain. Know when to expect your period. Familiarize yourself with menstruation warning signs.

In general, the first 36-48 hours of a gout attack are the most painful but you can relieve the initial pain and make sure you are doing all you can to end the gout attack as soon as possible. You can relieve some of the pain of gout by icing the joint. Use an ice pack wrapped in a towel and apply to the affected area for 20-30 minutes every hour that you are awake. Keep the affected joint elevated as much as possible while you ice it. This will help to avoid the blood settling in the area that is being iced. Your can take common pain relievers, such as ibuprofen (eg.Advil, Motrin IB) and naproxen (eg.Aleve). Use any OTC NSAIDs for as short a time as possible. Long-term NSAID use can increase the chances of a heart attack or stroke and can also increase the risk of ulcers and bleeding. Make certain you follow manufacturer’s directions exactly.  However, avoid any aspirin or topical aspirin products (eg. Aspercreme or any topical cream with salicylates). Aspirin products can cause more uric acid to deposit in the joints. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not an anti-inflammatory medicine and is not likely to help. You could also take colchicine, but you may need a prescription from a doctor for that medication. For chronic control of gouty flares, you should take allopurinol, which decreases the amount of uric acid in the body. Topical analgesics have been shown to be very effective, especially for joints such as the toes, ankles, knees, elbows and hands. For example, Voltaren gel is a prescription topical NSAID that can greatly reduce gout pain. Talk to your doctor about the use of Voltaren gel Over-the-counter topical treatments that may be helpful include:  Capsaicin cream: Capsaicin is a substance derived from cayenne peppers that depletes Substance P — a pain signal.  Make sure you wash your hands well after applying capsaicin — it can cause an intense burning sensation, especially if it gets near your eyes. Homeopathic creams: These include Topricin, which contains a mixture of homeopathic pain remedies. Gout...

TL;DR in English: Ice the area. Take over-the-counter pain relievers. Try a topical pain-relief cream or gel.

High heels make your leg look long and lean, and a leaner-looking leg helps create a leaner look overall. If you have wide feet, strappy sandals and flats will only accentuate the heft of your foot. Your heels don't have to be stilettos, but a thinner, two-inch heel or more, can help elongate the look of your legs. Try a pointed toe with a lower vamp (area that cover your toes) and avoid squared toes. Ankle straps place a horizontal line at the top of your foot, which cuts off your leg and makes it look shorter.  A shorter looking leg reduces the illusion of overall skinniness. Shoes matching your leg's skin tone will create the illusion of longer legs. Black booties or pumps paired with black solid tights are a go to look for the colder winter months. For the summer months, try skin-toned shoes and pumps and wear them with your bare legs.

TL;DR in English: Try a high heel or platform. Avoid shoes with ankle straps. Wear shoes that match the color of your legs.

It is important to give your cat a good diet in order to keep him or her as healthy as possible despite the FIV. Ask your veterinarian about good, quality brands of cat food. Dry kibble is the best food you can feed your cat, as wet food has a tendency to build up on teeth, causing tartar buildup that can lead to infections. Your primary goal should be to do everything you can to keep your cat infection-free because FIV causes it to be very susceptible to infections. Vets often recommend life-stage diets from Hills, Purina, and Royal Canin. These diets provide for the specific nutritional needs of young animals (under 12 months of age), adults (classed as 1 – 7 years), and senior animals (over the age of 7 years). Matching the life-stage diet to the age of your cat can promote longevity.

TL;DR in English: Feed your FIV positive cat a nutritious diet. Feed your cat dry kibble. Feed your cat food that is appropriate for its age.

All CCTV security cameras need both power and video (2 in one cable), so you can run just one cable from the DVR to each camera. You can run each camera's cable up to 700 feet (213.4 m) without any video loss. Simply connect the video cable to the DVR (it says BNC), and plug the power into the power supply RG59 Siamese Cable. It is the type of cable used to run most CCTV installs. This cable consists of one video cable and one power cable (positive and negative), thus the name siamese. Designate the location for your DVR and Monitor to be stationed. If you purchased a bulk roll of RG59, ask if the company will automatically supply the BNC connections free of charge. You may use twist-ons (most commonly used), or crimp on connections.

Get rid of the cooking grate, set the top aside, and open the bottom vents of the grill. You want as much air as possible to get to your charcoal in order to start an even, strong burning fire. Clean out any ash now, as it will smother your fire and keep the charcoal from lighting evenly. Aim the opening of the bag into the center of the grill when dumping out the briquettes to naturally form a pyramid. Then use your hands or a pair of long-handled tongs to stack any other pieces of charcoal along the sides on the pyramid. Start with roughly half the number of briquettes outlined below to start your grill. Once it's hot, add charcoal, 5-7 piece at a time, to get the grill up to full strength.  For a small, portable grill, you want 25-30 briquettes, or pieces of charcoal, when you start cooking. For a medium to average sized grill, you'll want roughly 40 briquettes. For a large or industrial grill, you will need 1 bag or more of charcoal to cook. You don't want to drench your charcoal in the fluid, as it takes a while to burn and will make a thick, unappetizing smoke. Simply squirt the fluid for no more than a count of "2 Mississippi" around the center of the pyramid, trying to get the fluid in the middle.  You can also start your pyramid, douse the inner briquets with fluid, then pile the "top" of the pyramid above the lighter fluid soaked briquets to make sure the whole pile gets hot. A mistake that many grillers make is using too much lighter fluid, which then imparts a petroleum-like tinge to the taste of their food. You do not need a lot of fluid, just enough to get a few pieces of charcoal smoking. These pieces will then help the rest of the pile catch. Do not light the grill immediately. Waiting allows the lighter fluid to soak into the top layer of charcoal, helping it to burn evenly. Lightly squirt the pyramid with a few bursts of lighter fluid in several places, only letting it soak in for a few seconds. This is what will "catch," so you don't want to drown the charcoal in fluid or you risk a...

TL;DR in English: Open the bottom vents of your grill and remove the cooking grate. Form a "pyramid" of charcoal briquettes, with the peak in the center of the grill. Squirt a small amount of lighter fluid in the center of your pyramid. Let the briquettes with lighter fluid soak for 2-3 minutes. Apply a thin second layer of lighter fluid. Light the fire safely with a long match or electric lighter. Spread the briquettes out once they are mostly covered in gray/white ash. Seal up any unused briquets for next time.

This is a good set of numbers to learn. If there are two options listed, there are two correct ways to write that number. Most people stick to one or the other, either using the subtraction method when possible, or writing everything as addition.  1 = I 2 = II 3 = III 4 = IV or IIII 5 = V 6 = VI 7 = VII 8 = VIII 9 = IX or VIIII 10 = X Here are the Roman numerals from ten to hundred, counting by tens:  10 = X 20 = XX 30 = XXX 40 = XL or XXXX 50 = L 60 = LX 70 = LXX 80 = LXXX 90 = XC or LXXXX 100 = C Here are some more difficult challenges. Try to get them yourself, then highlight the answer to make it visible:  LXXVII = 77  XCIV = 94  DLI = 551  MCMXLIX = 1949 Next time you watch a movie, look for a date in Roman numerals during the opening film credits. You can break them down into parts to make them easier to read:  MCM = 1900 MCM L = 1950 MCM LXXX V = 1985 MCM XC = 1990 MM = 2000 MM VI = 2006

TL;DR in English: Count from one to ten. Count by tens. Challenge yourself with more difficult numbers. Read dates.

Simply double-click an Excel document to open it in Excel. Doing so will select it, allowing you to type into it. All formulas in Excel start with the equals sign. This should go directly after the "=" with no space. For example, typing "A1" into the cell sets A1's value as the first number in your formula. The asterisk symbol indicates to Excel that you want to multiply the value before it with the value after it. This will set the second variable in your formula as the second cell's value.  For example, typing "D5" into the cell would make your formula look like this: =A1*D5. You can add more than two cell names to this formula, though you'll need to type "*" between subsequent cell names. This will run your formula and display the result in your selected cell. When you click the cell with the formula result, the formula itself will display in the Excel address bar.

TL;DR in English: Open an Excel presentation. Click a cell. Type  = into the cell. Type in another cell's name. Type  *  after the first cell name. Type in a different cell's name. Press ↵ Enter.

Attract your beagle by holding a treat in your hand. Show him the treat, but don't let him have it. Instead, hold it just in front of his nose, holding it in between your finger and thumb. Once you have his attention, raise the treat so that the dog is forced to raise his nose. Arc the treat backwards so that when he follows it, his natural reaction is to sit. As he starts to move into sitting position, firmly say "sit" and give him the treat.  Practice the "sit" command at every opportunity and in different locations, like at home in the yard, or on the street. This prevents tunnel vision where the beagle thinks he only has to respond if the command is given on his home turf.  Eventually, your dog will respond to "sit" alone, without tracing the arc of the treat. Once he is doing this regularly, skip giving a treat. This builds uncertainty into the dog's mind so he doesn't take the treat for granted but works harder for it. Your dog should be able to follow the sit command before you teach the stay command. Get your beagle in the sitting position. Hold up a hand like you're stopping someone and say "stay" in a firm voice.  Your dog might only do this for a second or two, but you should give him lots of praise and keep practicing. Eventually, you can practice moving away from your dog while he stays. There are several simple things you can try to keep your beagle from jumping up. If he successfully follows your requests, give him lots of praise.  One method: you can ignore the jumping and walk away. Call him after a few minutes and give him lots of praise. Another method: you can use the stay command, followed by the sit command. If you suspect your beagle is jumping up out of boredom, consider schooling him. The behavior may stop while he's busy learning new things. If the dog happens to approach you, say "come." If not, attract him closer with a treat. As he gets to you, repeat "come" and then praise him or give him a treat. Give your dog the time to complete the command.  If your dog is taking a...

TL;DR in English: Teach your dog to sit. Train your beagle to stay. Keep your beagle from jumping. Teach your beagle to come. Keep your beagle from biting. Anticipate your beagle's barking. Teach your beagle not to bark at other dogs.

You can also use a silicone baking mat if you have one, but do not use plastic wrap since it’s not oven safe. The exact timing will depend on how thick you spread the glitter, but should be around 30 minutes. Once it’s done, the mixture should be fully hardened and will peel away from the tray. Your edible glitter should last for months, but may lose some sparkle over time. Be sure to store it away from water and sunlight to prolong its shelf life.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 275 °F (135 °C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Bake the gum mixture in the oven until it is fully dry. Store the edible glitter in an airtight container or jar.
