Decide if you will own your own cab or contract to work for a taxi company. Consider the costs of being an independent driver. Get hired by a taxi company as a cheaper alternative. Drive your own car for a service like Uber or Lyft.

Squirrels can jump directly from the branches to your roof. Cut back branches that hang over your roof, along with any that come within 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) of your house to help keep them away.  Just trim off enough of the branch that the squirrel can't make the jump anymore. Use a hand saw or pruning shears. Always play it safe when climbing a ladder. Make sure the ladder is sturdy and sitting on a stable surface. If you can, ask someone to hold the ladder while you climb it. If the trim limbs are near power lines, call the power company or a professional to deal with them. Typically, you fit the square metal mesh bottom over the top of your chimney with the cage coming down the sides. Then, you can screw in the 4 screws onto the sides, which will go directly into the tile or stone of your flue. The cap on top and metal mesh on the sides will keep squirrels out.  Squirrels can come in through your fireplace. Pick a cover made of stainless steel mesh. It'll keep the squirrels and other animals out, but you can still use your chimney.  You can find these at home improvement stores. Some require that you screw the metal mesh down into the stone from above. Squirrels can burrow their way into your house through small areas. Go up during the day so you can see sunlight shining through. Fill the holes with metal mesh to block their entry. You can nail or staple the edges into place on the inside or outside of the hole. Be sure to look outside, too. Check under the eaves to see if you can find any holes. Once you cover the areas, add an extra layer of protection by using a repellent. Try one that has capsaicin in it, for instance. This chemical is the one that makes peppers hot, and squirrels don't like it! You can also use predator urine as a deterrent in your yard and around your home. However, this can smell pretty bad, so typically, you'd only use it in your garden, not around your house. You can buy it at home improvement stores.

TL;DR in English: Trim branches that hang close to your roof and chimney. Install a chimney cap if you have a fireplace. Go over your attic space to look for entry points. Spray a repellent around any holes you find.

Crafting mass amounts of items is an expensive endeavor; in practice, your total cost will end up totaling close to 10,000 gold. To offset this intimidating figure:   Complete early-game story quests and side quests. Not only do these have cash rewards, but they also afford the opportunity to pick up sellable items.  Spend as little money as possible. You shouldn't have to buy anything during the early stages of the game; enemies will provide the bulk of your weaponry and armor options.  Pick up every moderately valuable item you can carry. This includes extra weapons, armor, gems, and so on. If you get close to reaching your maximum carry weight, you can always fast travel back to town to get rid of your surplus items.  Sell anything you don't absolutely need. You can do this at any General Store, or you can sell style-specific items at relevant stores (for example, weapons and armor at armory shops). As your character levels up, dragons will become harder to fight; in order to make gathering dragon bones and scales--the crafting components of Dragon armor--less of a challenge, kill as many dragons as you need to as early as possible in the game while the dragons are still at a lower level.  To craft Dragon armor (including a shield), you'll need a total of 12 dragon scales and 6 dragon bones; this figure goes up if you decide you want to make weapons or scaled armor as well. Dragons drop 1 to 3 of both scales and bones when they die. Since one of the early story missions entails killing a dragon, do the first few story quests. Dragons tend to appear as you wander through the world, so refrain from fast-traveling to distant objectives. Provoke every dragon you see. Use sporadic ranged attacks to weaken dragons; attacking them head-on early in the game will get you killed. While perk points will obviously help you in combat, your primary objective is to level up your Smithing as quickly as possible. To that end, you'll want to spend what precious perk points you have on the Smithing tree alone until you...

TL;DR in English: Gather as much money as you can. Kill every dragon you see. Refrain from spending perk points. Save your game often.

It may have taken you a long time to reach a point in your life when you decided you needed to start over. Alternatively, you could have been in a negative family situation since you were born and then decided that you needed to make life better. Whatever your case, try to determine the contributing factors to the situation.  Think about things people said and did, patterns of behavior (your own and others’), tones of voice, and patterns of your own thinking. Make a list of negative things you tend to repeat to yourself. Find evidence for and against this thought. Look for facts, rather than opinions. Ask yourself what makes you think this way. Put systems in place that will ensure that you don’t repeat the negative things that happened in the past. Create plans to follow whenever you notice feelings that trigger behavior that you regret. For example, perhaps you’ve noticed that when you feel sad, you tend to drink alcohol: form a plan for dealing with your sadness that will keep you from drinking.  Talk to a friend and ask him to help you with this problem. When you’re feeling sad, you can call him and ask them to come over. You can both play a sport or do something different. You could even try to talk about what is making you feel sad to help you deal with the situation. Try to come up with more than one plan to follow in these situations in case something prevents you from following your original one. If you understand why things happened the way they did, try to think of solutions that will prevent history from repeating. If other people are the reason that your life was negative, it can be more difficult to change the situation. For example, if you’re a teenager and your parents make your home life difficult, maybe you can encourage your parents to seek help for their lifestyle. You know your loved one best. It can be difficult to convince others to seek the help they need to better their life. Think of ways that you can help him yourself, consult with others on how best to approach the situation or...

TL;DR in English: Understand the problem. Take precautions against making mistakes. Learn from your past. Form new habits and routines. Make better choices.

You must file in the circuit court for the county where you last lived as a married couple or in the county where either party currently resides. You initiate divorce proceedings by filing a petition in the court. In the petition, you ask the court for the divorce. Either spouse may file. The Florida Supreme Court has approved various petition forms for divorces: a divorce without children or property (here), a divorce with property but no children (here), or a divorce with children (here). You will also have to fill out an Affidavit of Corroborating Witness, a Marital Settlement Agreement, Notice of Social Security Number, Family Law Financial Affidavit, and Certificate of Compliance with Mandatory Disclosure.  If you have children or the wife is pregnant, then you must also file the following forms: the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) Affidavit, Child Support Guidelines Worksheet, and a Parenting Plan.  All of these forms are available at this website. You (or your attorney) should take the petition as well as any supporting documentation and file it with the clerk of court. You will also have to pay a fee, which varies depending on the court.  For example, the fee in Hillsborough County is $408.00. If you cannot afford the filing fee, ask for an Application for Determination of Civil Indigent Status from the clerk. You must give your spouse notice that you have filed a petition for dissolution of marriage so that he or she can answer the petition within 20 days. The most common methods of service are personal service and constructive service. You cannot serve by mail or hand delivery.  If you know where you spouse is, you should serve the papers personally. You should fill out a Summons and a Process Service Memorandum. You will need your spouse’s home and work address. You will then need to ask the clerk to help schedule service by the sheriff. If your spouse lives in the same county as where the court is located, then you can have the local sheriff serve notice for a fee....

TL;DR in English: Locate the correct court. Draft a dissolution of marriage petition. Fill out additional forms. File the petition. Serve notice on your spouse.

Prepare yourself for what your teacher is going to talk about in class.  Write a list of questions you have about the material and make sure they’re all answered in class.  Review the material again immediately after class and make sure you understood all the concepts discussed; if not, follow-up with the teacher right away. Try reading the material out loud to help it stay in your memory.  Your cat might find molecular biology quite fascinating! As crazy as it sounds, this actually works!  Some classes even provide credit for attendance, so skipping a class like that is just throwing points away.  Pay attention in class.  Attending class shows your teachers you’re actually interested in learning.  If you need help in the future, they’re usually more willing to help someone who has already shown initiative. If you really want to show initiative, sit in the front of the class.  Not only will this make you more visible to your teacher, but the rest of the class will be out-of-sight behind you, hopefully removing any distractions they may cause. Take notes for every class using a method that works best for you.  Review your notes immediately after class and rewrite them to help the concepts stay in your memory.  Make sure to highlight any tips or hints your teacher gave about an assignment or test.  Focus on key items in your notes, such as: dates or timelines, names of people and why they’re important, theories, equations, definitions, pros and cons about a topic debated in class, images/charts/diagrams, example problems.  Use a system of shorthand for your note taking if possible.  This includes using symbols instead of words (e.g., “&” instead of “and”), and abbreviating words (e.g., “approx.” instead of “approximately”).  Make up your own abbreviations if that helps. Don’t worry about your spelling and grammar when taking notes (unless it’s an actual language class teaching spelling and grammar!) - you can correct that later if you need to. Gear your note-taking to the course. Some courses can benefit from...

TL;DR in English: Read assigned material before and after each class. Attend all your classes. Take excellent notes in every class. Participate in every class. Do your homework assignments as soon as possible. Hand in any outstanding assignments. Ask your teacher for extra credit. Learn and understand the material, don’t just memorize. Read all exam instructions completely before starting the exam and then follow them.

Drivers who own their cabs take 100% of the fares received, but also have a host of expenses, from the cost of the cab to insurance to licensing. Employees of taxi companies either receive a percentage of fares (typically about a third) or rent the cab daily or weekly and pay all fuel costs. Depending on the city or state where you are driving, getting started with your own cab can cost anywhere from about $5,000 – mostly the cost of the cab – to nearly a million dollars. Yes, one million. In big cities where the number of licensed taxis is limited, the cost of obtaining a license is often outrageous – $872,000 on average in New York, $560,000 in Boston, $300,000 in Chicago, and $325,000 in Paris – leaving new drivers little choice but to work for established companies. Overall costs include:  The cab – Cars frequently used as cabs include Ford Crown Victorias, Dodge Caravans or Nissan Quests, Ford Escape Hybrids, and Toyota Priuses. They cost anywhere from about $3,000 used to over $30,000 new.  Insurance – The requirements for taxi insurance are much higher than for private use of your car – between $5,000-$10,000 a year.  Taxi meter – Around $180 used. A top light - Cost from $150 for a basic roof topper up to $1300 for a video topper. Car markings – You will need to put your business name and phone number on the side of your taxi. Decals start at $10-$25 per square foot. Working for a company means you will make less money per client, but it also comes without the prohibitive start-up costs. In addition, having a dispatcher can help you to get more fares. There are two ways that contract drivers get paid:  Percentage – The company pays all costs, including gas, and you take home about 30% of each fare. In Boston, drivers average about $200 gross per day, meaning they would take home only $60. In New York the average is closer to $250 for a take of $75 per day. Leasing – The driver leases the cab and pays for gas, but takes home all fares. Renting a cab costs around $100 per day, with fuel costs of about...

Roses require about 1" of rain each week, so make sure that you supplement their water needs if the rain isn't falling. Water them at the base of the plant near the soil. While you can't control where the rainfall lands, if you add water to your plants make sure that you're avoiding buds and leaves. Otherwise, your plant may suffer diseases and rot, which can result from water. Instead, focus your watering on the roots. To make sure that your soil is moist but not soggy, check it 2-3 times a week. If it feels dry, add water. Allowing the roots to get too wet can harm your plant, so if your soil has been soggy, give it time to dry before adding more water. Place a 2-4-inch (5-10 cm) layer of mulch around your rose plants. The mulch will help keep your plants moist, and as a bonus it will also help protect against weed growth. During the winter, mulch can also help keep your roses from freezing.

TL;DR in English: Make sure that the roses get enough water. Avoid watering the leaves and blooms. Check the soil 2-3 times a week. Add mulch to your soil.

Flip your mirror over so the backside is facing up. Then put felt pads on the bottom corners. These pads will prevent the frame from scraping against your wall, and will help air circulate between it and the wall. You can find these felt pads at most large retailers that sell home supply goods. D-rings are a better option than eye screws because they will lie flat against the back of your mirror’s frame. This will allow your mirror to hang up right against the surface of the wall.  D-rings come in different sizes, so you’ll want to make sure that you choose D-rings that can bear the weight of your mirror. You can buy D-rings at any home improvement store. First, use a tape measure to measure the length of the mirror. Then measure a third of this distance from the top of the mirror. Mark this point in the middle of each side. This will be where you will attach the D-rings. Screw 1 D-ring into each side where you made a mark in the previous step. You should screw them in so that the eye of the D-ring is on top. Hanging wire designed to hang picture frames and mirrors to a wall is the best type of wire to hang your mirror. Floral wire, electrical wire, string, and other type of wire are not as secure and can fail. Your wire should be around 10 centimetres (3.9 in) longer than the width of your mirror’s frame. Once you’ve screwed in D-rings to the back of your mirror’s frame, run the hanging wire through the two rings. Then tightly secure the ends of the wire to the D-rings.  Make sure the wire is taut when you pull on it. When you pull on it, the wire should also not rise above the top of the frame.

TL;DR in English: Affix felt pads to the bottom of your mirror’s backside. Choose D-rings to attach wire to the back of your mirror. Measure the placement of the D-rings. Attach the D-rings with screws. Use hanging wire designed to hang mirrors and picture frames. String wire through your rings.

With weight loss or weight gain, it's helpful to set reasonable and realistic goals.  With weight gain, you'll want to aim for a gain of about a half to one pound each week.  That means in a two month time span you could gain anywhere from 5-10 pounds. You may also want to set smaller, more frequent goals along the way to let you know how well you're progress is going.  For example if you want to gain 1 pound per week, but you're only gaining a 1/2 pound per week, you can readjust your meal plan and calorie goal to help you increase your weight gain. If you need to gain more weight than that you'll most likely need to readjust your goal timeline to allow for further weight gain. Food journals will be very helpful when you're trying to gain weight.  They will serve as a guide when planning your goals and if you need to make any changes.  Track all the foods you eat each day.  Include all meals, snacks and beverages in one day. Try to be as accurate as you can.  You may need to use a food scale or measuring cups to help keep you on track. Also keep track of your total caloric intake each day.  This will help you if you need to make changes to your calorie level. Keeping track of how much weight you've gained will be incredibly important.  If you don't keep track it'll be difficult to tell how much you've gained and if you've met your goal.  Get on the scale about 1-2 times per week.  Weight gain happens more slowly than weight loss, so more frequent weighing will not be useful. For the most accurate weight, try to get on the scale the same day of the week and at the same time. Keep track of your weight and progress in your food journal.

TL;DR in English: Set reasonable goals. Start a food journal. Track your weight.

Pour in 2 tbsp (30 mL) of water for every 16 ounces (450 g) of marshmallows you use. Find out if your bowl is safe to use in a microwave by checking its underside. Check for a label or symbol with wavy lines. These indicate that the bowl is safe to use. Place your bowl into the microwave and turn the dial to the high setting. Keep an eye on the marshmallows at the timer on the microwave runs down. When the 30 seconds are up, take the bowl out the microwave. You might need to wear oven gloves just in case the bowl is too hot. Dip your spoon into some solid vegetable shortening before you stir the mixture. The shortening will make it much easier for you to stir the marshmallows without the spoon getting stuck. Scrape any marshmallow stuck to the sides of the bowl back into the mix. You might need to microwave the marshmallows at 30-second intervals a few times before they're melted enough to be used as icing. Remember to keep stirring the mixture rigorously before adding the bowl back to the microwave. The mix shouldn't be very liquid when finished. It should be very pliable but it should not be runny. If you want to add a bit of extra flavor to your melted marshmallow icing, simply pour in any flavorings. Use vanilla extract or food coloring. Pour a few drops of your chosen flavoring into the bowl and use the spoon coated in vegetable shortening to stir the mixture. Powdered sugar will add that sweetened taste to your melted marshmallow icing. Once again, use the spoon coated in vegetable shortening to mix the ingredients in the bowl. You might have to coat another spoon in vegetable shortening as the mix turns to dough. Coat your hands and the table with the vegetable shortening to make it easier to work with the dough. As you knead, add some powdered sugar to the dough. Keep adding powdered sugar until the dough turns into a stiff ball. Rub some vegetable shortening on the melted marshmallow ball before wrapping it in plastic wrap. The next day, unwrap the ball and use it as icing for your cake. If you don't...

TL;DR in English: Place your marshmallows and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the marshmallows and water for 30 seconds at the high setting. Stir the mix with a spoon coated in solid vegetable shortening. Repeat the microwave and stirring process until the marshmallows are melted. Add any flavorings you'd like to the bowl and stir. Pour 65 grams (2.3 oz) of powdered sugar into the bowl and mix. Knead the marshmallow mix on a clean work surface. Store the ball in plastic wrap overnight at room temperature.

Your potential photographers will bring along a portfolio of their pictures to the interview. It’s important that you spend plenty of time looking through this in detail with your partner. Ask the photographer to give some context for the pictures, including asking about the style used, and the type of wedding it was.  The portfolio is a crucial document that gives you the best idea of what sort of style you photos will be getting. The pictures will have been carefully chosen to represent what the photographer considers her best work. Ask yourself if the pictures in the portfolio move you, or you think they capture the magic of the wedding.  Be sure to ask if the production values on the pictures in the portfolio are the same as in the deal you are discussing. Spend some time looking back through the notes you made during the interview to help you decide. These notes are a record of the interview that can give you a good idea of the impression you got from the photographer. You can compare the scores across the different shortlisted candidates with your partner, and evaluate their relative strengths and weaknesses. Price will no doubt be a factor in your decision, but try to think carefully about the value of these photos to you. It will be hard to value them quantitatively, as they are a record of the biggest day of your life, which you will always look back on. You will want a photographer that will capture the emotion of the day, as well as all the key moments.  Some people recommend putting aside at least ten per cent of your wedding budget for the photos.  Don’t rush the decision, and try to weigh up all of the different factors, including cost. You will use the interview in part to determine the technical skills and style of the photographer, but it is also an invaluable opportunity to assess her soft skills. Think about how personable the photographer is. If you take a disliking to her for whatever reason, this could create a negative dynamic or atmosphere on your big day. Keep in mind some basic...

TL;DR in English: Examine the portfolio. Evaluate your interview notes. Consider the value of the photos. Think about how personable the photographer is.

Mark the first entry. Start writing about your day. Let loose! Explain your relationships with people. Keep writing. Sign off.

Choose one cane on either side of the trunk. The canes should be about as thick as your pinky finger and grow close to the head of the vine.  The "head" of the vine lies at the intersection between your main trunk and the top of your support system. The canes you choose should have close buds and a brown outer layer of bark from base to tip. Make sure that they have not suffered any visible damage, either. Note that this method of pruning is not recommended for American grape varieties. It is suitable for use with most wine grapes, but you should do some research about your particular grape variety before you choose to use this method of pruning. Bend the canes down to either side of your trunk and tie them in place. These canes will become permanent arms that will remain intact for the life of your vine. Cut off the top of both permanent fruiting arms, leaving only four buds on each arm. Cut off the remaining canes at trunk level, leaving only your two permanent arms in place. This is the last bit of pruning you will do during the second year. During each following year, new spurs will grow on your permanent fruiting arms, and fruit will be produced from these spurs. Trim each new spur back during the end of the dormancy season so that they are only two to three buds long. As the vine ages, you may need to cut back older spurs to two buds, as well.

TL;DR in English: Select two canes. Train these canes to the side of the trunk. Shorten your fruiting canes. Remove the rest of the old wood. Cut back new spurs each year.

Pull the plug out of the wall, and find the trigger lock just behind the trigger that you would use to release a staple. Shift the lock to the left or right, or press it toward the trigger to lock the trigger in place. Your gun may not have a trigger lock. In that case, be careful while you’re loading the staples. As long as the gun is unplugged, you should be safe. The magazine release is a button that releases clip that holds the staples in place. Look at the rear part of the stapler, toward the bottom. It should have 2 small indentations on either side of the stapler for you to squeeze and pull. If you don’t know where your magazine is located, find where the staples come out of the gun. The release button should be on the opposite side of the bottom of the gun where the staples are fired. Place your thumb and forefinger on either side of the release, and press in before pulling out. This will release the magazine from the gun, revealing a compartment underneath of the gun where you’ll place the staples. If you haven’t already, you will need to lay the stapler on its side or hold it upside-down to load the staples into the gun. Insert a row of staples into the compartment with the legs facing up toward you, and slide them toward the front of the stapler. Keep holding the gun upside down to keep them in place. If you’re using the staple gun to fire brad nails, look at the magazine rod. It should say something like “Load brads” with an arrow facing up or down. Lay a row of brad nails against the side if the compartment that the arrow is pointing toward. If your stapler doesn’t have an indication for how to load brad nails, it’s possible that the stapler isn’t able to fire them. Check the manual or search online to ensure that your stapler is compatible with brad nails. Hold the release button between your thumb and forefinger and push the magazine back into the compartment. The click notifies you that the magazine has clipped into place and that the staples won’t fall out. If you don’t hear a click, try...

TL;DR in English: Unplug the staple gun and lock the trigger before you begin loading it. Find the magazine release buttons at the back of the stapler. Squeeze the release buttons and pull the tray out. Place the staples upside-down in the magazine. Use the marking on the magazine release if you’re loading brad nails. Slide the magazine back into the chamber until you hear it snap into place.

Start training in a place with few distractions, such as a room at home or in your yard. As your dog starts to understand and respond to commands, be sure to vary the training spot. You don’t want your Yorkie to mistakenly believe that "sit" means “sit in front of the apple tree” or to accidentally tie other commands to a specific location.  Slowly introduce the commands in busier areas as your dog begins to understand them. The ultimate goal is to ensure that your Yorkie will still obey the commands even with bustling people and other dogs around. Have patience since the amount of time this takes depends entirely on your specific dog’s personality. You’ll likely want to have your dog on leash as you slowly start to introduce more distractions since the chances of losing focus will be high at first. Until your dog starts to get the hang of the “here” command, you’ll have to help him or her out by using it when the dog is already moving toward you. Use your clicker to mark the action (if clicker training) then give the reward. After you’ve created a strong association between the two things, you can start to command "here" when your dog isn’t moving toward you.  Do not continuously repeat the command if your dog doesn’t obey since it will weaken the command. Instead, resume waiting until the dog is already coming toward you to issue it. Wait until later to again try issuing the command when your dog is standing still or moving away. It can be a frustrating process. Remember to stay patient, not to punish, and always to reward your Yorkie when he or she does finally come to you. Place the dog in the corner of a room and hold the treat at nose height. Let the dog sniff but not eat the treat. Raise the treat in an arc so that your dog’s nose goes up and bottom goes down. As his or her bottom hits the ground, click the clicker (if clicker training) and provide plenty of praise and a treat. Repeat the exercise often and start adding the “sit” command before raising the treat above your dog’s head.  Expect to repeat...

TL;DR in English: Minimize distractions initially. Teach your Yorkie the “here” command. Teach your Yorkie to sit. Teach your Yorkie to shake. Teach your Yorkie to roll over. Teach your Yorkie other commands.

Wearing a different shirt changes the whole look of the suit, which is what you want. It’s also important to wear a different shirt because it soaks up your sweat during the day and will start to smell if you wear it for too long. If you have to wear the same shirt more than once, don’t wear it on back-to-back days to give your look variety and let the shirt air out. If you need to wear the same shirt more than once, an undershirt soaks up your sweat and keeps the top shirt dryer. Even if you don't typically wear an undershirt, wear one during the week you're wearing the same suit. Besides changing your shirt, wearing different colors varies the appearance of the suit. Cycle through white, blue, gray, or other colors that look good with your suit. If you have two shirts of similar color, wear them a few days apart in the week.  If your workplace has a strict dress code, you may not have a lot of options. Vary the color as much as you are allowed. White, eggshell, and cream are different enough to be noticeable. Make sure you pick colors that match the color of your suit. If you are allowed to wear plaid, checkered, or striped shirts, this is another great way to add variety. Wear a pattern twice in the week, separated by plain colors. Switching between plain and patterned keeps you looking stylish every day. Vary the color and size of the stripes or plaid pattern, but make sure it looks good with your suit’s color. If you work in a somewhat casual setting, wear a stylish t-shirt with your suit. Vintage tees are a great item to add to a suit to bring out your individuality and personal style. Try out a plain t-shirt or a knit polo with a quarter button at the top. In cooler weather, swap in a nice crew neck sweatshirt or a thermal shirt. Whatever you do, make sure you look appropriate for your job setting.

TL;DR in English: Avoid wearing the same shirt for more than one day. Wear an undershirt to keep your top shirt dry. Wear a different color shirt every day. Pick a textured or patterned shirt for some days. Switch to a t-shirt or other casual shirt.

The state of Virginia does not require couples to be residents of Virginia to marry there. However, marriage licenses issued in Virginia must be used within the state of Virginia. The following regulations also apply:   Legal status. Neither partner may be currently married to another person.  Family relationship. You and your partner may not be related to one another by blood or adoption. The state of Virginia does not allow marriages between ancestors and descendants (e.g., parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, siblings, or aunts/uncles and their nieces/nephews. Step-siblings cannot marry. However, first cousins may marry.  Competence. Both partners must be mentally capable of choosing marriage. As of October 6, 2014, same-sex marriage is legal in Virginia. Virginia also recognizes same-sex marriages from other states and countries. The application process is the same as for heterosexual couples. You and your partner must be over age 18 to marry without parental consent. If you are 16 or 17, you must have parent or legal guardian approval.  Your parent or legal guardian can consent in person during the application process. The consent may usually also be given in notarized written form when it is sworn before a notary public. Special consent is possible when the female partner is under the age of 16 and is pregnant. If the female partner is under 16 and has been pregnant within the previous nine months, consent may be given if a physician documents the prior pregnancy. Parent or guardian consent is required in both cases. Consent must be given in the county or jurisdiction where the female partner lives in these cases.

Log the date at the top of the page so that you'll know when you wrote the entry. Consider giving your entry a title, like "Captain's Log," or addressing it with something like, "Dear Diary." Include where you are and how you are feeling: e.g. "8/12/2016: on the bus, feeling nervous." If you're going somewhere, include where you're going. You will probably read back over this diary at some point in the future – so give your future self a few points of reference to jog your memory. Don't think too much about what to say. Start by writing about your morning, or about whatever first comes to mind. Write about the most exciting thing that happened today. Write about your friends, or your classes, or your crush.  Write about the person you've been thinking about lately. Write about what this person said to you, and about what someone else told you about him/her. Write about what you think about this person. Write about what is making you happy. Write about what is making you sad. Write a story. The diary doesn't even have to be about you! Make up a character and write the first page of his or her diary. Pretend that you are writing this to a close friend, or to someone that you trust a lot. Your diary is your space to write about everything that you are thinking, good and bad. Don't worry too much about what you write. The important thing is that you start writing. In the first entry, when you mention people, write what relationship you have with them. Are they your best friend, worst enemy, or crush? This way, when you read back over your diary in years to come, you'll know what all of these people meant to you at this point in your life. Just write down whatever comes to mind, no matter how silly it sounds. Filling your diary isn't about making everything sound perfect. It's about getting out all of the words that are inside of you!  If you can't think of anything to write, then write about how weird it is to be writing about yourself. Write about why you can't think of anything. Write about why you want to keep...

Opt for simple jewelry in bold styles.

Although you can technically play Mother May I with only three people, it will be more fun if you have more.  One benefit of Mother May I is that it’s a game that works for the whole family. Young children enjoy it, but grandparents have also been known to participate too! However, the game is generally recommended for children between the ages of 4 and 9. The game is popular with adults because it teaches children manners. Mother May I is a game of imagination. You need more than 2 people to play it, though. The game works best with fewer than 10 participants. ” One player needs to be given the mother designation, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a girl or boy.  The game is sometimes called “Captain May I” with the word mother replaced with the word captain at all times. If the “mother” is a male, you could use the word captain and call the children "crew members." Everyone else, no matter their actual age, receives the designation of the “children” in the game. It can be fun for actual children to get to play the mother and vice versa. As an alternative, you could use the name of the player designated as the person in charge for “mother.” The goal of the Mother May I game is for the children to reach the mother first on the other side of the room, lawn or field. Whichever child reaches the mother first wins the game and then, in turn, is designated as the mother, and the game starts all over again. Alternatively, stand on the opposite sides of a field or in the back or front yard.  The mother should be far enough away to make the game interesting but close enough that the children can hear the mother and vice versa. The mother should stand about 10–20 feet (3–6 m) away from the children.  The mother should stand facing away from the line of “children” and selects a child either at random or in order. Mother May I can be played either indoors or outdoors. The game is also a great way to get children interacting with each other and adults, and to get them moving around and outside.

TL;DR in English: Gather a group of people together. Designate someone as “mother. Stand on the opposite sides of the room.

Peel and slice the banana first, then add it to the blender. Pour the half-and-half over the banana, then blend until evenly combined. This will create a nice, smooth base for your drink.  For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana instead. For a lighter smoothie, use whole milk or skim milk instead of half-and-half. These will give your smoothie a layer complexity and a final boost of flavor. If you aren't a fan of maple syrup, you can use another sweetener instead, such as: agave nectar, honey, jam, molasses, sugar, etc. You can also use 2 crumbled vanilla wafer cookies instead. At this point, you can also add other flavors as well. Here are some ideas to get you started:  Add some cocoa or mini chocolate chips for a subtle chocolate flavor.  Make a spicy-sweet smoothie by adding ¼ teaspoon (0.65 grams) of cayenne. You don't want any lumps, chunks, or swirls. From time to time, you may have to pause the blender, and push the ingredients down the sides using a rubber spatula; this will ensure that everything gets evenly blended. You can drink it as is, or you can garnish it with extra cinnamon, nutmeg, or banana slices. To make it truly dessert-like, garnish it with a swirl of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a dash of colorful sprinkles; finish it off with a maraschino cherry on top.

TL;DR in English: Pulse the banana and half-and-half in a blender. Add the maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Consider adding crumbled graham crackers for an extra crunch. Blend until the ingredients are silky smooth. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, and serve it.

Continue heating the mixture until it boils. The acid mixture will bubble as you add the water and urea. Add the mixture slowly so that it doesn’t cause the acid to bubble out of its container. The water/urea mixture neutralizes the nitric acid but not hydrochloric acid in your solution. In general, you will add 1 ounce of precipitant per ounce of gold that you are refining. Avoid putting your face near the container’s opening. The smell is very strong and pungent. The acid will turn a muddy brown color, which is actually caused by the separation of the gold particles. Wait 30 minutes to allow the precipitant solution to work on the gold particles.

TL;DR in English: Heat 1 quart of water and add 1 pound of urea to the water. Gradually add the water/urea mixture to the acid. Add a selective gold precipitant to 1 quart of boiling water following the manufacturer’s instructions. Add the water/precipitant solution slowly to the acid.

Young children learn by observing and exploring the world around them. Keep your child engaged in their environment by giving them interesting things to look at. Hang a few pictures or posters in your child’s room, and pick out colorful furniture. Encourage your child to talk about and describe the objects in their environment.  Allow your child to add things they find interesting to their space. While lots of visual stimuli are great in areas where your child plays and relaxes, don’t over-clutter areas where your child works. Your child may become distracted if there are too many things to look at. Building blocks and construction toys, sorting toys, puzzles, modeling clay, and “busy toys” (like bead mazes) are all good choices for helping your child develop their perceptual skills. Select toys that are appropriate for your child’s age range. Look at the suggested age range on the toy’s packaging, or ask a teacher or pediatrician for suggestions. When your child is working on a project, whether it’s putting together a puzzle, making art, or doing homework, help them concentrate by providing a distraction-free environment. Give your child a quiet, uncluttered workspace. Turn off the TV, and if you choose to play music, choose something soothing that doesn’t have lyrics. Music plays an important role in children’s cognitive development. Quiet, soothing music can increase concentration, while fun and upbeat music can get your child moving and help build gross motor skills. In addition, there is evidence that early music training can improve a child’s perceptual logic and spatial reasoning skills. Play music for your child every day, and encourage them to dance, sing, or play along.  If you are trying to help your child concentrate, try playing quiet classical music without vocals, like a gentle Chopin Nocturne or one of Bach’s soothing Cello Suites. To encourage your child to get up and move, try a bouncy dance number like “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, or “Twist and Shout” by the Beatles.

TL;DR in English: Make your child’s space visually interesting. Provide toys that promote sensory play and motor development. Keep distractions to a minimum. Play music for your child.

Dressing up doesn’t get much easier than high-waisted chiffon palazzo pants and a silky tank. You can tuck the tank top in or leave it untucked, depending on the style of the tank.  If the tank is cut to fit a little boxy, it’s probably best to tuck it in, as this will emphasize your waist. If the tank is relatively short and is nipped in at the waist, it’s fine to leave it untucked. You can wear a short cardigan or jacket with this look if the weather is cool. Bustiers are strapless tops that are made to fit tight around your body, and they’re often cropped to show a little midriff. When you pair a bustier with flowy chiffon pants, you help soften the look, leaving you with an edgy style that’s still tasteful. Try this with cropped palazzo pants, stiletto heels, and a statement choker. A sheer button-down blouse and chiffon pants will create a breezy, romantic look that’s perfect for a date or a night out on the town with friends. The sheer fabric allows you to show off your figure underneath, and can create a  flattering silhouette. Be sure to wear a cami underneath the blouse! Slim-cut pants look great when they’re balanced by a flowy tank top. To make the outfit look dressier, top it with a fitted jacket or blazer. Finish this look with a pair of heels or ankle boots. If you’re attending a formal event, try wearing a single color from head to toe. This can be a neutral shade, like black or white, or you can opt for a bold color if that’s more your style.  For instance, if you’re attending a formal dinner, you might wear all black. If you want to wear chiffon pants as part of a wedding pantsuit, look for an embellished or lacy top that matches your pants. These can be traditional wedding colors, such as ivory or cream, or you can choose your favorite color. Since an outfit featuring chiffon pants tends to be somewhat minimal, it’s best to stick to simple, graphic jewelry. Big, solid pieces, like collar-style necklaces, statement earrings, and wide bracelets, tend to suit this style better than intricate...

If you're called upon to say grace at a family gathering or holiday meal, it can be an intimidating experience. But like a toast at a wedding or any public speech, there's no one "right" way to offer thanks, though there are several common denominational prayers for different faiths, discussed in the following method. The most important thing to remember in the moment is to speak from the heart, as sincerely and honestly as possible, and offer appreciation and thanks to whatever higher power you choose.  Example: Bless this food and the people who prepared it. Many thanks for the meal and the company. If you're saying grace for a holiday meal, a family gathering, or an informal dinner, you can temper your prayer to the occasion. Even saying thanks for the changing of seasons can be an appropriate call for grace.   Example: I'm blessed to be able to spend the holidays here with all of you. Let us appreciate this meal in fellowship and celebration.  Example: It's such a blessing to be able to come together and celebrate the life of Aunt Jan in this wonderful group of people. Many thanks for the meal and the fellowship.  Example: It's such a pleasure to spend a warm summer evening on the porch with all of you and this wonderful food. Let's all offer thanks for the bounty we've received. Depending on the group and the occasion, it can be appropriate to offer a brief moment of story to act as a blessing. When spend with close family or close friends, on a birthday or other personal holiday, this is a nice touch. It's also common to offer a quick personal blessing for each person present, if in a small group.   Example: I've always looked up to Aunt Jan as a personal inspiration and hero for her kind dedication to service and cheerful outlook on life. I'll always cherish the hours we spent together in her garden. I count myself blessed to have someone in my life as inspiring as her, and to be able to gather here today and celebrate her life with you all.  Example: What a blessing to come together today for this...

It might seem like flint is difficult to find, but you generally just need to know where to look. In some areas, like the Ozarks of Missouri, you can find chert lying all over the ground. That is because flint and chert are hard, durable rocks that are so resistant to weathering they remain intact long after the surrounding rocks have weathered away into the soil.  You can search along the freshwater shores or riverbeds. Flint is very durable and resistant to chemicals, so it often collects in the remaining soils as surrounding carbonate rocks erode. While rocks like limestone erode and fine soil is carried downstream, small pebble deposits of flint and chert collect along the shores. Try other locations where there is a large variety of rocks present, such as a construction site or along a gravel road. Many times rocks are harvested from riverbeds for construction from all over so you might be surprised to find chert or flint pebbles just down the block. If you live near an area that was once populated by tribes of Native Americans, you might have a good chance of locating flint fragments around that area. Flint was an ideal choice for creating tools and weapons. Flint can be made to form a blade that is actually sharper than steel, with a tip that is just the width of a few molecules. If you find an arrowhead or sharp rock near a old tribal ground, you found some flint. Flint often forms as nodules inside pieces of chalk or limestone. So in addition to looking for pieces of flint, look for larger rocks that may contain several pieces of flint. Bust them open and see what you find.  Look for discolorations on a piece of limestone. Usually flint or chert nodules will be a slightly darker shade than the surrounding limestone. You can break these pieces out with the use of some tools and collect the flint. Grab an iron hammer and bust open some smaller rocks. If you notice some sparks when the hammer contacts the rock, there is likely some flint or quartz inside.

TL;DR in English: Choose an area nearby to search. Learn the history of your area. Look for flint nodules in larger rocks.

Do backbends and butterfly stretches, as well as basic leg and ankle stretches. Be careful and always stretch first! If you don't warm up, you could hurt your muscles or injure yourself.  To stretch hamstrings: Sit with your legs straight in front of you. Reach for and grab your toes. Keep your back straight. Hold for 30 seconds. To stretch the legs and arms: Sit with your legs out, one out to each side. Reach up toward the sky with your left hand. Lean over and reach for your right foot. Hold for 30 seconds. Then, repeat on the other side.  Aim for a 20 minute warm up session before moving into tumbling. Once you're nice and stretched out, do a couple of standing back handsprings to warm your muscles up even more. Then try a few double handsprings. Start with a basic round off, then do two back handsprings in a row. Only pause for about 1-2 seconds between the handsprings. These will fully stretch you out and prepare your muscles for the standing back tuck. If you can't do a back handspring yet, you're not ready to learn the back tuck. As you're stretching out, visualize yourself successfully doing a back tuck in your mind. Imagine yourself in the starting position, being in the air, and landing the tuck perfectly. If you're nervous or scared, imagining yourself doing the back tuck can help ease your fears. The best spotter is usually a trainer, coach, or experienced gymnast. Their job is to help you get into position, hold you while you're in the air, and keep your posture correct while you try your first back tuck. With a spotter, you don't have to be afraid of falling -- they're there to catch you! Not only can they help you jump higher into the air, but they can also give you great advice on anything you may be doing wrong. Mats act as cushioning between you and the hard floor. If you do fall, you'll be much safer. They're also a great psychological motivator. If you're not worried about falling down, you'll jump higher and have better posture.   For beginners: try folding a mat up and standing on top of...

Before you do anything else, you'll need to have a clear idea what the size of your staircase is. The includes the length, width and height of each stair, as well as the number of stairs itself. In most cases, the number of steps is the most important trait to know and the easiest to figure out, as it will let you know how many sets of tackless strips and pads you'll need for your carpet.  The standard stair is 30 inches wide. If your stairs follow the standard dimensions, it will be much easier to measure and lay your carpet, as carpet runners designed for the standard dimensions will be easy to find. Assuming you have standard-sized stairs, and allowing for 3 inches on either side to display the wood, you need 24 inches for each stair step and riser. Rise (height) and runs (width) can vary in size, so be sure to measure closely. Before moving into the practical stage of setting the carpet, you should go out and consult with a sale associate who specializes in carpets. Talk to him about your project, specifically the size and scope, and the general expectation you might have for an end result. Chances are this associate will be able to lend you some specific and helpful advice, as well as point you in the direction of some carpet types that might suit your goals.  Consider taking pictures of your stairs as they are to give the sales associate a kind of visual references to keep in mind while he helps you. If you are trying to calculate the amount of carpet material you'll need from the sales associate, remember to keep the stair's nose (or rounded front-section) in mind, giving a couple more inches than you would otherwise to compensate for it. At the end of the day, laying a carpet runner along your stairs adds comfort and purpose, so it's good to keep your creative side in mind while making your stair decisions. Choosing to carpet just the step and not the riser, as well as different widths (leaving wood visible on either side, for example), colors, and textures will yield different results for your stairs...

TL;DR in English: Measure your staircase. Meet with a carpet sales professional. Consider the aesthetic design of your planned staircase. Purchase the necessary supplies.

The time signature looks like a fraction and is noted at the beginning of a piece of music. The top number tells you how many beats there will be every measure, and the bottom number tells you what kind of notes those beats will be in this song. For instance, if 3 is on top and 1 is on the bottom, there will be 3 whole note beats per measure. If 5 is on top and 2 is on the bottom, there will be 5 half note beats per measure. If 6 is on top and 8 is on the bottom, there will be 6 eighth-note beats per measure. The most common time signature (sometimes just written with the letter C meaning “common time”) is 4 on top and 4 on the bottom, which means there are 4 quarter-note beats per measure. . At the beginning of the sheet music, next to the clef sign, sharp ♯ and flat♭signs make up the "key signature." These tricks will help you memorize what each key signature looks like:  If there are no sharps or flats next to the clef, the scale is C major or A minor, so C or A will be Do for this song, respectively. The rightmost sharp in the key signature is Ti on the solfege scale. Go up one half step (a space or line) and you'll get the root note which the scale is named for, and which you can think of as Do. Alternatively, use this mnemonic to identify the scale by how many sharps there are (starting at one sharp): Green Day And Elvis Buy Four Cats The rightmost flat in the key signature is Fa, and the flat to its left is the root note Do. Identify the scale by the number of flats there are (starting at one flat): Fat Boys Eat Apples During Geometry Class Unless you have perfect pitch, you'll need to listen to the root tone. This is always the note in the name of the key signature, so when you're singing a song written in A, you'll want to listen to an A. You can use a piano, a metronome with a pitch function, a tuning fork, or pitch software on a phone app or website. Using the root note as Do, sing the solfege scale up and down once or twice to get a feel for the notes you'll be singing. Remember to use the minor...

TL;DR in English: Assess the time signature. Identify the key Listen to the root note. Run through the solfege scale. Check the rhythm and tempo. Cope with difficult passages.

Start by removing the laces from the holes at the top of your shoe—closest to your leg—and work your way down to the tip. After you remove your laces, stuff them into a sock—this allows you to clean them separately in the same load as your sneakers. Tie the end of the sock tightly with a lace or elastic band. If your shoes have laces that feed through plastic loops that hold them in place, don't bother removing them. Place all of your shoes into a pillowcase—whichever size accommodates your load—and twist the end tightly to hold it closed. Afterward, fasten the twisted end with a rubber band wrapped around it 2 times or more, depending on the size of the rubber band and the thickness of the twisted end.  Fold the twisted end in half before wrapping the rubber band around it to make it snugger. Usually, you can fit 2 to 3 pairs of shoes in a pillowcase. Put as many in as you want, but try not to stuff it too tight. Remember that not all shoe materials can be washed in a washing machine. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Put the pillowcase with your shoes and sock with your laces into the washer. Afterward, stuff the remaining space around the bags with rags to prevent the bags from hitting the walls. Finally, dump in 1 full cup of your favorite laundry detergent. If you have a top washer with a center turbine, wrap its edges with a towel. " Turn the load size dial to slightly before the "Medium" and hit the "Cold" button. Now, put the spin mode to "Delicate" on the "Normal" setting. Double-check your settings and then turn the washer on and wait! Always use the "Delicate" or—for older washers—"Knits Gentle" setting for your mesh shoes. This minimizes agitation of the fabric and prevents it from stretching. Indoor areas like a hayloft or shed or outdoor locations that provide enough shade are ideal. Never store your shoes in a basement, and avoid garages, as they often don't provide enough airflow.  If you have an electric household fan, place it in front of your shoes to decrease drying time...

TL;DR in English: Remove the laces from your shoes and put them in a sock. Stuff your shoes into a pillowcase and twist the end. Place your shoes and laces into the washer with detergent. Wash your shoes on "Delicate" and "Cold. Air-dry your shoes for 1 day in a cool, dry location.

Do not remove them from their pans just yet. This section will teach you how to make a tasty glaze to add between your cake layers. It will result in a moister, tastier cake. If you do not wish to add the glaze, you can skip to the next section. Without removing the cakes from the pans, cut off as much as you can from the top, bumpy part of each cake. Don't worry about leveling off the edges of the cake. Save the scraps for making cake balls or eat them. You only need to poke holes in the part that was not cut. This will give the glaze more gaps to sink into. Pour the powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the thawed lemonade concentrate and water. Stir briskly with a whisk until everything is combined and smooth. Don't worry if the glaze looks liquid-y; this will help the glaze soak into the cakes better. Without removing the cakes from their pans, pour the glaze evenly over the top of each one. Don't worry if the glaze pools in the corners. Wrap the top of each cake with plastic wrap. Place the cakes into the fridge for at least 1 hour up to overnight. The frosting will also need to be chilled. Save some time, and prepare the frosting while the cake is chilling, then stick it into the fridge. By the time the frosting is done chilling, the cake will too.

TL;DR in English: Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 1 hour. Level the cakes off as much as you can. Poke holes in the cake using a fork. Prepare your glaze. Pour the glaze over the cakes. Cover and chill the cakes.

A stock exchange is a market where you can buy and sell stocks. There are multiple exchanges both in the US and around the world. When studying the stock market, you should make sure that you are aware of the trends in each exchange. While some companies trade among various exchanges, others may only trade on one.  The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is the largest exchange in the world. Stocks on the NYSE are generally considered to be more stable and less risky. Large industrial firms tend to trade more on NYSE. NASDAQ is the second largest. It is traded electronically. Companies on NASDAQ tend to be more volatile but also have more growth potential. Technology companies tend to trade more on NASDAQ than NYSE. The London Stock Exchange (LSE) is the main hub for the UK market. It is also traded electronically. The Toronto Stock Exchange is the main Canadian exchange while the Australian Securities Exchange is the main Australian one. These are much smaller than the American and British exchanges. You may also want to pay attention to other international exchanges, such as the Tokyo Stock Exchange or EuroNext. Stock indexes are companies that compile all of the changes in individual stock exchanges. This data is put into graphs that show whether the market rose, fell, or stayed stable that day.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to major stock exchanges. Read the major stock indexes regularly. Look at the change and percentage change for markets each day. Read the news for outside factors that can influence the market.

This is the surest way to identify a dead hermit crab. If your hermit crab dies, it will begin to decompose – and its carcass will begin to smell putrid. If you can't smell anything, pick the crab out of the tank to get a closer whiff. If you smell a salty, rotten scent, there's a good chance that your crab has passed away. Hermit crabs periodically shed their exoskeleton, and this process often involves losing body parts. The crabs are immobile for a short time while it regains muscle control and its new exoskeleton hardens up. If you disturb your crab while it is molting, you may seriously endanger it – so be patient. Assume molting before death. This can be a sign that the crab is dead, or it can just be a by-product of the molting process. If you find what appear to be a dead crab next to a shell, have a closer look to see if it is just an exoskeleton. If is it hollow and crumbles easily, it is an old exoskeleton. Look inside the nearby shell, and you might find a freshly-molted crab hiding out. If the immobile crab is obviously not an exoskeleton, try picking it up to see if it moves. If it does not react, it's probably dead. If you can't figure out whether your crab is dead, move it to a new location and note exactly how it is positioned. Try placing food on the other side of the tank to give the crab a motivation to move. Leave the tank, then come back to check within the next few hours. If the crab moved while you were gone, then you know it's alive. If not, it may be sleeping or molting. It is perfectly natural for hermit crabs to bury themselves; this can indicate that the crab is molting, or just that it feels threatened. Smooth the sand around his hiding spot, then look for tracks to get an idea if he is coming up at night for food. If it has been weeks since your crab buried itself, you can carefully sweep off a bit of sand from around his hiding spot to check for a rotting smell.

TL;DR in English: Sniff around for a fishy, rotten smell. Assume that your crab is molting. Notice when a crab is laying outside its shell without any signs of transitioning. Move the crab and observe the results. Keep an eye on a buried crab.

As your students work on their persuasive essays in class, walk among them, reading what they have so far and offering suggestions. This will help your students stay on track as they write, and prevents them from getting to the end of the writing process before they realize they might be doing something wrong. As your students are writing, have them swap their work with classmates for peer editing. Requiring your students to read one another's writing will give them a chance to view persuasive writing objectively. It also requires them to determine what is effective and what is not. They can apply what they learn from reading their classmates' work to their own writing. You may want to set aside a portion of your class time for this activity to help keep students focused on the task and prevent the class from getting too out of hand. Once your students have finished drafting their essays, let them turn them in to you for review. Allowing your students to submit their essays to you once before they “officially” submit them gives them a chance to get written feedback from you and incorporate that feedback before their essays are graded. Once your students have formally submitted their assignments, schedule some time for them to meet in small groups with their classmates to discuss their assignment. They can tell their classmates what they wrote about, what they found difficult and easy about the assignment, and how they might improve next time.

TL;DR in English: Walk around and read your students' work. Encourage your students to talk to fellow students. Edit your students' work. Plan a small-group assessment.

To use this method, you should see at least one binomial in your expression. It can be in the numerator, denominator, or both. A binomial is a polynomial with two terms. For example, the expression 4x16x2−2x{\displaystyle {\frac {4x}{16x^{2}-2x}}} has two terms in the denominator. Thus, the denominator contains a binomial. The factor must be common to all terms in the expression. Factor out this term and rewrite the expression. For example, the monomial 2x{\displaystyle 2x} is common to each term in the expression 4x16x2−2x{\displaystyle {\frac {4x}{16x^{2}-2x}}}. So after factoring this term out of the numerator and denominator, your expression will look like this: 2x(2)2x(8x−1){\displaystyle {\frac {2x(2)}{2x(8x-1)}}}. The monomial term factored out of the numerator and denominator cancels to 1, since you are dividing that term by itself. For example:2x(2)2x(8x−1){\displaystyle {\frac {2x(2)}{2x(8x-1)}}}2x(2)2x(8x−1){\displaystyle {\frac {{\cancel {2x}}(2)}{{\cancel {2x}}(8x-1)}}} This will leave you with your simplified rational expression. If you factored correctly, there will be no more factors that are common to each term in the numerator and denominator. For example:2x(2)2x(8x−1){\displaystyle {\frac {{\cancel {2x}}(2)}{{\cancel {2x}}(8x-1)}}}28x−1{\displaystyle {\frac {2}{8x-1}}}

TL;DR in English: Assess the rational expression. Find a monomial factor common to the numerator and denominator. Cancel out the common factor. Rewrite the expression after cancelling out the monomial.

For smaller roots, like those that are less than an inch (2.54 cm) in diameter, you can use regular gardening shears or gardening scissors to cut the root. If you are cutting a larger root, you'll need to use a special tool -- a root saw or a mechanical reciprocating saw. You can purchase these saws at home and gardening stores or online. Some store locations will allow you to rent reciprocating saws for a daily rate. Grab the loose end of the root and pull it towards you until it tears free from the ground. If the root is embedded deeply into the ground, you may need to dig up more soil around the root. Once you're done, discard the root, and continue doing this to the other roots that you're cutting. To keep the root from growing back, put in a barrier under the soil before you fill in the hole. Use a heavy duty plastic tree root barrier, and install it 30-inches (76 centimeters) below the surface of the soil. You can purchase a plastic tree root barrier at most lawn and garden centers. Fill the hole you've made with mulch or fertilizer purchased from the store. As an alternative to mulch, you can also fill your trench with grass seeds or sod if you want grass in the area. Take your cut tree's roots and dispose of them. Take a look at your tree on a daily basis and evaluate its health. If branches are starting to die and fall off, it could be a sign that you've done too much root damage and have killed your tree. This is dangerous because it could cause the tree to fall. If this is the case, you'll have to remove the entire tree. If you notice that the tree is dying, it's best to call an arborist or landscaping company as soon as possible. They will be able to evaluate whether you need to remove the tree and the steps you can take next.

Coming out is hard enough, so avoid giving your parents your letter during an argument or during a period of crisis. Try not to use coming out as a weapon or way to shock them, and avoid using alcohol or drugs before giving them the letter or discussing it with them. For example, if a relative is sick or your sibling just got in major trouble, you might want to wait until things settle down before giving them your letter. If you're sending them an email, you could attach links to online resources that can inform them and help them process the news. You could also print out information and include it with your printed or handwritten letter.  Parents are often afraid that their LGBTQ children will face prejudice, violence, contract diseases, or never live a happy life. Providing them with information can ease their fears and help them understand that you'll be happier if you can be open and honest about yourself. You can find plenty of excellent websites online. Check out University of Southern California's resources for parents and family. PFLAG (formerly known as Parents, Family, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) also offers lots of helpful information. Give them your letter in person, mail it, or send your email, then let them digest the news on their own terms. Be patient, and understand that they might need a little while to process and, hopefully, accept what you've written. When you give them the letter, tell them, “I hope you can read this with an open mind, and I hope we can handle what I've written about patiently and honestly. Please take all the time you need to process it.” You and your parents might find that exchanging a few letters is the best way to handle the situation. Eventually, try to have a face to face conversation with them. Once you've broken the ice in writing, you might find it easier to talk to them in person. If your parent lives far away, talk to them on the phone. The next time you see them, have a face to face conversation.

TL;DR in English: Choose a stress-free time to give them your letter. Provide them with educational resources. Give them time and space to process your letter. Try to follow up with a conversation.

Avoid exerting yourself after your surgery. Rest for 3 to 5 days with a laparoscopic surgery. For an open appendectomy, you'll need to wait 10 to 14 days. You won't be able to return to normal activities until this time is up, and you may need to avoid strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks. If you're coughing or laughing, place a pillow over your abdomen. Press down lightly to support your appendix. You can also use this technique when you need to move. While antibiotics don't directly affect pain, they help rid your body of infection, which may be causing pain. Take any antibiotics given to you as prescribed by your doctor. Make sure you finish the round. Your doctor will likely give you a prescription for pain medications like morphine, hydromorphone, or oxycodone. If they don't, ask for one. Talk to your doctor about what over-the-counter medications are appropriate, as well, and follow any directions given to you by your doctor. While you'll likely be taking pain medications, taking your mind off the pain can help, as well. With guided imagery, close your eyes, and imagine yourself in some place you love. Fill your head up with that image. Think about what you see, smell, taste, hear, and smell. Focus on each sensation in turn. Similarly, try distracting yourself with things you enjoy, like good music, chatting with friends, or a quiet activity like crocheting.

TL;DR in English: Rest after your surgery. Use pressure to reduce pain when moving. Take your antibiotics. Use pain medications provided by your doctor. Try guided imagery.

Place parchment paper or a silicone pad across the baking sheet to prevent sticking. Beat until soft peaks form. Continue beating until the egg white peaks turn stiff. Fold into the egg whites. Mix to combine. Fold into the egg white mixture. For each cookie, you'll need two level teaspoonfuls of batter. Leave room between each of the cookies to allow for slight spreading. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes or until the edges appear golden. While the cookies are baking, oil the handle of a wooden spoon; this will be used to roll the cookies up into sticks. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 2 to 3 seconds. Slide each rolled cookie off and onto a wire cooling rack. If they cool too quickly to be rolled as you're working through them, simply place the sheet back into the warm oven (no longer switched on) for up to a minute to just warm. Then remove and repeat until all cookies have been rolled into sticks. If wished, tie a small gold or silver cord around each cinnamon stick and tie in a bow. This is optional but very pretty, especially for gift-giving or a seasonal party.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Beat the egg whites in a small bowl. Add the sugar gradually to the beaten egg whites. Mix the flour and cinnamon together. Stir the oil of cinnamon into the melted butter. Use a teaspoon to transfer the batter to the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the sheet. Place in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven. Working quickly and with care, wrap the cooling cookies around the oiled spoon handle. Keep making the rolled cookies. Finish up.
