Replace your sponge every 1-2 weeks. Avoid using the sponge on surfaces that have touched raw meat.

One of the best ways to improve your English listening comprehension is to download English-language podcasts or radio apps on your phone or MP3 player.  You should then make an effort to listen to the podcasts or radio shows for at least 30 minutes per day. Do it in the gym, on your commute to work, or while you're sitting at your computer. Make an effort to understand what's being said, don't just let the English wash over you. Even if you find it too fast, try to pick out key words and phrases to get a general idea of what the conversation is about. If you can, make a note of any words or phrases that you don't understand and look up the translation afterwards. Then listen to the podcast or show again to hear the new words or phrases in context. Another fun way to improve your listening comprehension is to watch English movies and TV shows.  Try to pick movies or TV shows that you will enjoy -- this will make the exercise feel like less of a chore. If possible, choose movies or shows that you are already familiar with, such as children's cartoons or blockbuster films. If you already know the basic story you will find the language much easier to pick up on. However, you should avoid watching movies or television shows with subtitles in your native language -- they will only distract you and make you less inclined to focus on understanding the English, which is the whole point of the exercise. Reading is an essential part of learning a new language, so don't forget to practice!  Find something you are really interested in -- whether that's a famous English novel, The New York Times or a fashion magazine and start working your way through it. If you find the content boring, you will be less inclined to persevere with it. Again, make an active effort to actually understand what you're reading, don't just skim over it. Highlight any words or phrases that you don't understand, then look them up in the dictionary. If you're alone, you could also try reading aloud -- this will allow you to improve your reading...

TL;DR in English: Listen to English radio or podcasts. Watch English movies and TV shows. Read an English book, newspaper or magazine. Keep a diary in English. Find an English-speaking pen-pal.

Towns and cities have different governing structure, so if you’re working on changing a local law, figure out how yours works. Most have a mayor and some kind of city council. Some also have other positions within the city government, including city managers and commissioners. Some states allow you to file local or state referendums as a citizen, but most states do not. If you are in a state that does not, you need to get the city council or mayor to support your idea and bring it to a vote. Check to see you your state is one of them. In these states, you can file your intention to have your law on the ballot, then gather signatures, and finally file the petition with the signatures with the law. Then it will be put on the ballot. In most states, it’s not quite this easy. This is a way for you to bring up your issue to local lawmakers. Check your city to see when there are meetings for constituents to bring up issues. You usually have a limited time to speak, so be prepared and be professional. You might have to go to many meetings before people begin to take you seriously, but this is an important step. Look at their websites. See what kinds of laws they have promoted in the past, and if yours might fit in. If you are going to change a local law, you need support from someone in the city government. If you don’t want to approach the mayor directly, choose the council member from your district or one you think will be sympathetic to your cause. Tell them about your pattern of attending community meetings. Lay out your ideas for a law change. Bring copies of your proposed changes to share with the lawmaker. Ask their opinion on the feasibility of your goals. Listen to their suggestions. If they say that they need a petition with signatures from citizens showing support for your idea (probably at least 500 signatures), that’s your next step. Or they might like it just as it is and say that they will take it to the rest of the council. Once you have presented the law and anything else they have asked for (like a...

TL;DR in English: Learn how city government works. File an initiative or referendum if you’re in a state where citizens can. Go to community meetings if you can’t file a referendum. Research the mayor and council members. Meet with your chosen lawmaker. Wait for the lawmakers to take action. Keep in mind that changing a law can take a long time. Try again.

In some cases, you may have a list of numbers with a missing term in the middle. Begin, as before, by checking that your list is an arithmetic sequence. Select any two consecutive terms and find the difference between them. Then check this against two other consecutive terms in the list. If the differences are the same, you can presume that you are working with an arithmetic sequence and proceed. For example, suppose you have the list 0,4{\displaystyle 0,4},___,12,16,20{\displaystyle 12,16,20}…. Start by subtracting 4−0{\displaystyle 4-0} to find a difference of 4. Check this against two other consecutive terms, such as 16−12{\displaystyle 16-12}. The difference is again 4. You can proceed. This is similar to adding a term to the end of a sequence. Find the term that immediately precedes the space in your sequence. This is the “last” number that you know. Add your common difference to this term, to find the number that should fill in the space. In our working example, 0,4{\displaystyle 0,4},____,12,16,20{\displaystyle 12,16,20}…, the term preceding the space is 4, and our common difference for this list is also 4. So add 4+4{\displaystyle 4+4} to get 8, which should be the number in the blank space. To be sure that you have the correct answer, check from the other direction. An arithmetic sequence should be consistent going in either direction. If you move from left to right and add 4, then going in the opposite direction, from right to left, you would do the opposite and subtract 4. In the working example, 0,4{\displaystyle 0,4},___,12,16,20{\displaystyle 12,16,20}…, the term immediately following the space is 12. Subtract the common difference of 4 from this term to find 12−4=8{\displaystyle 12-4=8}. The result of 8 should fill in the blank space. The two results that you get, from adding up from the bottom or from subtracting down from the top should match. If they do, then you have found the value for the missing term. If they do not, then you need to check your work. You may not have a true arithmetic...

TL;DR in English: Verify that you are starting with an arithmetic sequence. Add the common difference to the term before the space. Subtract the common difference from the term following the space. Compare your results.

Because of its relative simplicity, there is a lot you can add to poha to suit your tastes. Some additional spices to consider alongside the onions include:  3 pods green cardamom 1 tsp ground or freshly cut ginger 1/2 tsp chili powder A pinch asafoetida (found at Indian grocer) 1/2 tsp garam masala " This recipe gets a light, crispy texture to the potatoes that matches well with the peanuts. Use an extra 1/2 tb of oil and fry the potatoes in the oil before they are a light golden color on the outside, then add the mustard seed and continue with the recipe. Do not fully cook the potatoes before continuing -- they will continue to cook with the onions and spices. Chickpeas, known as "chana" in Indian cuisine, can go in right before the onions, getting a nice golden brown outside in the final dish. For some people, chana is essential to a good poha recipe. Though not in many traditional poha recipes, modern chefs have begun to incorporate a variety of vegetables from around the world into poha with wonderful results. The light sweetness and quick cooking time of green peas make them perfect for poha. Try adding 1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes right before serving as well. This little breakfast tip is a perfect pairing of savory and spicy. Add a scoop of plain yogurt your bowl right before serving if you think it is too hot, or if you want a little tangy flavor in the poha.

TL;DR in English: Know that poha is a very customizable, versatile recipe. Fry the potatoes ahead of time to make "batata poha. Add 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas, or chana for a heartier poha. Try adding 1 cup of green peas for a more vegetable-based Poha. Serve with a little bit of yogurt to counteract the spicy kick of hot poha.

Sponges don’t last forever, and the longer you have them, the more bacteria they hold. Try to replace your kitchen sponge weekly if you use it every day, or biweekly if you use it less often. If your sponge starts to smell bad or becomes discolored, throw it away and replace it immediately. Instead of using a sponge, use other materials to clean up raw juices from meat. Opt for a dishcloth, washcloth, or paper towel to wipe down cutting boards and counters. Disinfectant wipes are also a good option for wiping down counters that need to be cleaned. Sponges have crevices that can harbor bacteria easily, but cloths and wipes are less absorbent.

TL;DR in English:


Decide what specialty interests you. Stay up-to-date with your practice. Consider becoming an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN). Be aware of other career paths.

Use heavy tackle. Adult muskellunge can grow in excess of 50 inches and 50 lbs (22.7 kg). Try heavy action rods from seven to nine feet long. Pair a muskie rod with a large bait-casting reel, preferably in a fast gear ratio, to allow “catching up” to fast-moving fish. Heavy action rods have the backbone to not only fight such a large fish, but also to cast the jumbo-sized lures used to target muskies. The higher a line’s “pound test” is, the stronger the line will be. In order to prevent line breaks and missed fish, use heavy, braided line with a pound test between 80 and 100. Because muskies have such sharp teeth, connect the main line to the lure with either a steel or heavy fluorocarbon leader. The variety of muskie lures available can be overwhelming. Muskies are notorious predators who eat nearly every other freshwater fish in their waters, other muskies, frogs, and even rodents. In general, don’t be intimidated by using baits that seem absurdly large. Muskies frequently prey on fish 25%-50% their length, so using 8-12” lures is well within reason. Keep in mind that these fish are cold-blooded, and so their activity level is determined heavily by the season and water temperatures.  In colder water, fish are more sluggish. Select small baits such as rattle traps and crank baits. In more ideal water temperatures, from the 60s to the low 70s in Fahrenheit (15.5°C to just above 21°C), fish are much more active. Use larger baits such as rubbers and swimbaits. In cold water, look for lazier, slow baits like glide baits, jerk baits and jib baits to draw more strikes. In warmer water, use fast-moving baits like bucktails, spinnerbaits and topwaters. When the water temperature is hot, the fish will be sluggish, so use deeper and slower baits. When water visibility is low, look for baits with rattles, large blades, or other mechanisms of creating noise and water movement. Aside from typical auditory organs, muskies also utilize the lateral line, which is a set of sensory organs that run down the length of many...

TL;DR in English: Choose a rod and reel. Select line. Pick a lure size. Choose the lure’s movement. Select a lure color. Select a retrieve.

Your doctor will draw blood from you at their office once in the morning and then again in the late afternoon. They will schedule the first appointment at around 7-8 am and the second appointment at around 3-4 pm on the same day. This will ensure the test results are accurate, as your cortisol levels will fluctuate throughout the day. The doctor will draw blood from a vein in your arm. You may feel a slight sting when they draw the blood and the area may be a little sore afterward. In some cases, your doctor may suggest additional testing like a urine test and a saliva test to get a more accurate read of your cortisol levels. You will need to provide urine samples at timed periods over 24 hours.  Saliva and urine tests can help your doctor better determine if your elevated levels are caused by stress or even a medication that acts like cortisol in the body. Saliva tests are done at home late in the evening when cortisol levels are typically lowest. You will spit in a test tube, and deliver it to your doctor’s office. If your doctor requests a urine test, you will collect your urine in sterile containers over a 24-hour period. If your doctor suspects you have abnormal growths or tumors that are affecting your cortisol levels, they may run a computerized tomography (CT scan). They may also do a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan). You may need to book separate appointments with your doctor to get these scans done. The results of these scans, as well as your other tests, will be looked at by your doctor to determine your cortisol levels.

TL;DR in English: Allow your doctor to test your blood twice in one day. Get your urine or saliva tested, if requested by your doctor. Have a CT or MRI, if needed.

This diet allows for rapid weight loss without the complications of surgery.  This is not meant to be a lifestyle change, but a rapid way to get the unhealthy weight off as quickly as possible. The idea being that the risk of staying overweight (and added health complications that arise from extra weight) is WORSE than limiting your bites. Realize that the only source of energy in the body is glucose sugar, meaning no matter what you eat your body turns it in to this 'fuel' so whether it is 5 bites of ice cream or five bites of a protein bar your body will use both for fuel equally. The goal is to turn the body into a lean mean fat burning machine. .      After you’ve reset your 'hungerstat' you will find that you get full quicker on a limited amount of food. You can modify the diet to add more bites, start by counting how many bites you take at a normal meal, then throughout a whole day. slowly start limiting yourself per meal/day until you reach 5 bites per meal. Lewis recommends people aim for a  BMI of 18.5 . . The idea being that it is better to be right at a perfect weight for your body (even on the low side) than to risk being higher and suffering the complications of excess weight.

You can buy cotton balls in just about any grocery store or pharmacy. They're available in large and small sizes. Buy small cotton balls for small scabs and large cotton balls for large scabs. If you have an eye dropper, use two to three drops. If not, place the cotton ball on the opening of the bottle. Turn the bottle upside down for a second to wet the cotton ball. Replace the cap to avoid spilling the oil. Do this after you've cleaned the affected area. Lightly touch the wet cotton ball to your scabs. To avoid breaking the crust of the scab, don't apply pressure. Allow the tea tree oil to dry on your face. Do this twice a day.

TL;DR in English: Purchase cotton balls. Apply tea tree oil to the cotton ball. Dab the oil on your scabs.

This will match everything and can be dressed up or down, so it is a must have in any capsule wardrobe. A good quality white tee that is not see through can actually be hard to find and is worth spending extra money on. Choose the style that flatters you best. You can pair it with a skirt or jeans and layer it under your blazer or jacket. Wear it alone on a warm day, layer under a sheer blouse, or with your blazer or cardigan. This can be any style that looks good on you. Some examples are button up, wrap style, printed, and chambray. It can be dressed up with a skirt or trousers or casual with jeans. This will be great a slightly cooler day. For even more warmth you can layer with a blazer or jacket. This instantly dresses up your outfit. It can be worn with skirt, trousers, or jeans. Blazers are great staples for women and men. Layer one with blouses, tank tops, and tees. Wear it with skirt, trousers, or jeans. The quintessential “little black dress” doesn’t have to be little, but it should be black. Every woman should own one. Black works with many occasions and is slimming. You can layer with a cardigan, blazer, or scarf to mix up the look. Jeans go with everything and can be worn almost anywhere. This is a staple in any  closets. When buying jeans, don't look for trends (e.g. rips and tears) but for quality and comfort and for what flatters your shape. For men, choose chinos. These can be worn to work or for a nice evening out. Ankle pants are a great alternative to slacks. A tailored pair of trousers can be worn for multiple occasions depending on what you pair it with. A black skirt will match everything similar to how blue jeans match everything. A gray or white skirt could work as well. Choose something not too short or frilly. A well chosen skirt will be appropriate for work or going out in the evenings. These are a little nicer than tees and a staple in any man’s wardrobe. Depending on what you do for work, you may need more of these or none at all. If you wear a suit every day then include a...

TL;DR in English: Find the perfect white tee. Stock your wardrobe with a few classic tees of any neutral color. Add 1 to 3 tank tops. Include at least one nice blouse. Add one or two long sleeved tees or light sweaters. Include a blazer. Add 1 to 2 cardigans. Include a black dress. Stock your closet with 1 to 4 pairs of jeans. Include a pair of trousers or ankle pants. Add at least one skirt. Include a couple each of polos, casual patterned button ups, and oxford button downs for men. Add at a least one dress shirt for men. Consider a charcoal suit for men.

There are a variety of fields for nurses to practice, including pediatrics, adults, OB/GYN, geriatrics, community health, occupational health, rehabilitation, surgery, neonatal, intensive care, and emergency. You will likely have already started thinking about this during your RN educational training. Each RN program gives their nursing students clinical rotations through which they gain experience in these various areas of the hospital and community.  Nursing students may have a full semester in a particular clinical rotation, such as pediatrics, adult or community health. They will also experience several hours in an intensive care unit, emergency room and neonatal unit. Not all schools will give nurses rotations through a physical rehabilitation unit for patients following strokes or spinal cord injuries. Most schools will expect that nurses get experience with geriatric care while caring for adults. Once you know what field of nursing you'd like to work in, you can apply for jobs in that field. Even after completing the required education and certification, nurses should continue to read medical journals, be aware of the policies of the healthcare organization they work for, and take additional courses in medicine. Scientific and medical knowledge and technologies are constantly changing and evolving and so staying up-to-date is key to providing effective healthcare. The term advanced practice registered nurse is an umbrella term used for nurses who have achieved at least a master’s degree in nursing (MSN). The academic program to become an advanced practice nurse is one to two academic years, depending upon the specialty, school, and your previous work experience. There are four main advanced practice settings in which nurses can practice under this APRN umbrella:   Clinical Nurse Specialist. These nurses typically work in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. They handle a wide variety of physical and mental health problems and may work within the fields of research, education and administration.  Nurse...

Use a tried-and-true relaxation technique. Get to bed at a reasonable hour. Accept that you may have a restless night.

During an MRI, you will be enclosed in a tube-like machine for up to an hour. If you are claustrophobic, this experience can cause a great deal of anxiety, and you may need a sedative before the test if you are anxious. Talk to your doctor about your claustrophobia before the exam to see if he or she may be able to prescribe you a sedative for the procedure. Certain metallic implants may effect the MRI scans. Talk to your doctor about any metal implants you have prior to the exam.  Cochlear (ear) implants, clips used for brain aneurysms, metal coils placed within blood vessels, any kind of cardiac defibrillator or pacemaker generally means you cannot be placed in an MRI machine.  Some metallic implants pose a some risk to health and safety and the accuracy of the exam. However, depending on how long the devices have been in place before the exam it might be safe to undergo the exam with some of the following in place: artificial heart valves, implanted drug infusion ports, artificial limbs or metallic joint prosthetics, implanted nerve simulators, metal pins, screws, plates, stents, and surgical staples. Certain health concerns should be taken into consideration before you have an MRI. Talk to your doctor about safety if you have any of the following conditions:  Pregnancy History of kidney problems Allergy to iodine or gadolinium History of diabetes Before your MRI, you should take your medication as normal leading up to the exam unless otherwise instructed. You should strive to maintain as normal a schedule as possible leading up to the MRI exam. Reading up on what happens during an MRI exam can help ease the anxiety of the procedure. Learn what to expect in the days leading up to the exam.  An MRI is a large tube with holes on either end. You'll be placed on a moveable table that slides into the tube while a technologist monitors you from another room.  Magnetic fields and radio waves provide an internal reading of your body, used to detect things like brain tumors or brain cancer, chronic conditions, and...

TL;DR in English: Inform your physician if you are claustrophobic. Tell doctors about any metal implants you have. Alert your doctor to any health issues. Take medications as normal. Learn what to expect. Follow any specific guidelines your doctor went over with you.

Take a piece of clear plexiglass and an etching needle. Etch your design directly onto the glass, creating grooves in the plexiglass where the paint will be deposited. Once your image is complete, gather your paints, cotton balls, or felt. Use the cotton balls or felt to dip into your paint. Lightly press it against the image. You can press one color at a time, or apply multiple colors for a single pressing. Either way will give you slightly different results, so feel free to play around. Take a rag and carefully wipe across the plate, making sure excess ink from the surface of the plate is removed. You should only have ink in the grooves of your image. Use watercolor paper and soak the papers in water for several minutes. Remove them from the water, lay them on towels, and gently blot them dry. Soaking and blotting your papers will make the fibers swell. This makes it easier to transfer your etched painting onto the paper. You'll need to use a print-making press in order to exert enough pressure. Set the prepared paper on top of your inked plexiglass etching and cover with a towel. Using medium strength, press your image onto the paper. Carefully remove the towel and lift up on the the paper to release it from the plexiglass etching. Your image should have transferred. Make sure the paint is completely dry before framing or hanging your print. Sign and number it before printing more.

TL;DR in English: Create your desired image. Ink your plexiglass plate. Wipe excess ink off your plate. Prepare your paper. Position your plexiglass etching on your press. Run your print through the press. Let the image dry.

Regret, guilt, and fixation on the bad things that happened in your past can prevent you from moving forward in the present and into the future. You can no longer control the past, but you can prevent the past from controlling you.  Consider mistakes you made in the past that you don't want to repeat. Gather any practical lessons you can from those mistakes and let go of any theoretical fears surrounding those mistakes. For instance, a child may burn himself by touching a hot stove and thereby learn not to touch other hot stoves, but that experience does not need to prevent that child from touching and exploring other parts of his world. Past interactions with people can cause you to develop grudges against them, but grudges also drain you of your own energy and resources and ultimately hold you back. Your life is yours to live. Others may offer guidance and advice. Some of this can be helpful, and some of it can be hurtful. Regardless, you need to make decisions based on your own desires and ideas without worrying about what others expect of you.  Keep in mind that even the people closest to you have a limited understanding of who you are at the core. When you pursue a goal, some may criticize you if it does not fall in line with the things they view as important. For instance, your new passion may not make much money, so someone who values money as a high priority will likely view it as a waste of time. Remember that your values and others' values are not always the same, so running your life according to another's values will not bring satisfaction to your own life. Failing to make a choice is a choice in itself. Train yourself to be a more decisive person. If you cling to your indecisiveness, you will continue to doubt yourself at the most crucial moments. Right now. You have an indefinite number of “tomorrows” to deal with, and telling yourself that you will start doing something “tomorrow” can quickly become a habit. Stop putting things off and start doing them immediately. Think of it this way: you may...

TL;DR in English: Let go of past failures and pains. Don't surrender control to other people. Decide to let go of indecisiveness. Stop procrastinating now. Quit running away. Drop the excuses. Release the need for explanations. Realize and release your fears.

One of the factors in keeping your afro looking great, is making sure that that your hair is nice and moist. Fill a squirt bottle with half water and half pure aloe vera juice. Spritz this all over your hair, and use your fingers to massage it in. Aloe vera juice can be purchased at most health food stores, some beauty supply stores, and online. To further moisturize your hair and keep it looking good while you sleep, apply a leave-in conditioner product. Use a spray-in conditioner for convenience. Alternatively, you can use a cream conditioner. Simply work the conditioner around in your hands and then apply it to your hair, starting 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from your scalp. Massage the product down to your tips. If your hair is prone to breakage around the hairline, place several drops of argan oil onto your fingertips and move it around. Apply this oil to your hairline, in the front and back, to moisturize and avoid breakage. Be sure to purchase pure argan oil!

TL;DR in English: Spritz your hair with aloe vera juice. Use leave-in conditioner. Apply argan oil around your hairline.

Choosing a theme will narrow your focus when planning and designing the game. To pick a genre, consider what types of games you like to play, what the goal or mission of the game will be, and what you want the user experience to be like. For example, if you like games you can play with a group of people, you might make a multiplayer online role-playing game. The most important part of a video game is telling a story that captures the interest of the player. Brainstorm the overarching problem that players are trying to solve and build off of that. Make sure there are multiple ways to “win” the game to provide more entertainment for the players. For example, if you want the goal of the game to be finding a pot of gold, create characters like an evil leprechaun who’s trying to protect the pot and a storyline of events that might happen throughout the player’s journey, like the appearance of a magical rainbow. You don’t want the game to end as soon as a player accomplishes the first goal. Keep the game going by incorporating new challenges throughout the story, along with different levels that players can unlock as they go along.  Having a beginner’s level along with more advanced levels also means more people can play your game. It won’t exclude any players. You can create different levels for the same goal, or make levels get progressively harder throughout the story. For example, you can have a beginner’s option and an advanced option for trying to slay the evil leprechaun. Or you can make the first step, like finding the leprechaun, easier, then make the next step, like getting inside his lair, a little more difficult, and so on. Before you jump into coding and development, you need to have a clearly defined plan and vision for how your game will run and what it will look like. Create a storyboard by sketching out the major scenes of your game in each frame, along with details on what will happen in that scene. Place the images in order of occurrence in the game.  Include details like what actions the...

TL;DR in English: Decide what genre your game will be. Create a compelling storyline that has multiple paths players can take. Add increasing levels of difficulty to keep players engaged. Lay out your video game with a storyboard. Download an easy-to-use program if you’re a beginner. Learn how to code if you want a more custom or complex game. Create a prototype of your game focusing on the core features. Playtest the game and make any final tweaks.

You know what you like to do to help yourself relax or de-stress. Do something that you know helps calm you down before you get ready for bed.  Take a bath. Use special bath salts or bubble bath to pamper yourself. Make sure it is something that won’t irritate your skin. Consider using something with lavender to help you relax. Exercise. Consider some gentle, calming yoga poses or stretching. Or maybe you’d rather dance away your jitters. Don’t try anything new. You don’t want to inadvertently amp yourself up, or worse, injure yourself before the wedding!  Write in a journal. If you find writing in a journal relaxing and therapeutic, consider taking a few minutes to jot down your thoughts the night before the wedding. It may be an entry you end up treasuring a few years down the road.   Meditate. You can download some guided meditation apps onto your phone to help you relax, too. Drink an herbal tea, such as chamomile, to help you feel sleepy. You will have a full day ahead of you on your wedding day, no matter what time your ceremony starts. Go to bed at a reasonable hour to account for the amount of time it may take you to even get to sleep in the first place. The more sleep you can get the night before the wedding day, the more energy you'll have to make it through one of the biggest days of your life.  An adequate amount of sleep also helps regulate your emotions. Keep in mind that a good night’s sleep will help you stay calm and relaxed the next day as well!  Consider taking a sleep supplement, such as melatonin, to help you fall asleep. Only take something if you know how it works for you and you have taken it before. Do not try anything new, and do not take more than the recommended dose.  Double check your alarm clock. Designate someone to wake you up in case you oversleep. Your wedding may be one of the biggest, most exciting events of your life. It’s okay that you are excited about it! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself and get frustrated if you can’t calm down and sleep. You won’t ruin your...

Try to get your margins at or above 50%.    What makes a home product not so good:  Overly mechanical and liability-prone. If your product demands super high quality standards or puts you at a liability, stay away. No mechanical drills. Imported by big retailers. If the product you're trying to sell at home already is being sold at Walmart, don't expect much. Trademarks. Unless you want to spend all your profit fighting legal battles with huge corporations, stay away from items that are protected under trademark. Okay, so you've decided to sell miniature craft accessories — miniature chairs for doll collectors, perhaps. The next question you should consider is how good of a business proposition is this? You may be the best miniature craftsman (or -woman) that money can buy, but it won't mean very much if no one buys miniatures for dolls, or if the market for doll miniatures is already really competitive and margins are razor thin.  The size of the market is effectively how much money people are spending today on...

TL;DR in English: Brainstorm what type of products you have knowledge of and could succeed in selling from home. Know what makes really good products. Determine the size and competitiveness of the market. If you can, stock up on the product by buying wholesale.

Pick up your ball and find the point where the grooves in the ball meet at the bottom. You will want to spin the ball on the bottom middle of the ball where all of the grooves meet in a perpendicular point. If you spin the ball with the grooves in a horizontal position, your spin won't look as clean and your finger won't have a point to rest on. Some people prefer to use two hands to throw and guide the ball into the air before catching it with their finger. Others prefer to palm the basketball in one hand and use a quick flick of the wrist to prop the ball up to the fingertip. The two-handed method is easiest for beginners. Bend your elbow out and hold up the ball. You want your elbow to be at a comfortable height, usually a little bit higher than your hip. The ball should be about level with your face when you spin it. This is the same hand you'll use to spin the ball. Do not hold the ball entirely flat on your palm, as this causes the ball to slide around too easily. Instead grip it with your fingertips and allow for a small air pocket between your palm and the ball. You can use the pads of your fingers to keep the ball level on your finger. You should also use them to guide the ball and make sure it doesn't tilt to one side or fall over.

TL;DR in English: Find the grooves in the ball. Decide whether to use one or two hands. Hold the ball up with your elbow a little above your hip. Hold the ball in your dominant hand with your finger pads. Use your finger pads to guide the ball in the proper direction.

Either an audio or video demo can help potential clients remember you as a singer. It also gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your singing abilities outside of an audition. You should store these demos in a variety of formats, including MP3, CD, and online streaming. Locate different places in your area that might be interested in singers. This includes performance halls, theaters, wedding venues, and clubs. Contact the owner or their promoter to see if they would be willing to let you perform. Different types of singers will have luck at different venues.  If you want to sing at clubs, you should print out a list of all local bars, clubs, and pubs. Contact each individually to see if they are interested in hiring a singer. If you want to become a wedding singer, you can contact local wedding planners or houses of worship, such as churches. They might be willing to refer you to their clients as a wedding singer for their events. Knowing people who work in the music industry can help you find gigs. Contact local studios, agencies, and production houses via email or phone. Let them know of your services, and ask if they would be willing to listen to a demo of yours. Let them know what type of music you specialize in and why they should be interested in you. For example, you can write an email that says, “Dear Mr. Smith, My name is Laura K, and I am a jazz singer. For five years, I have been wowing audiences in numerous venues across the city, and I am looking to enhance my singing career. I know your studio specializes in upcoming jazz acts. The Daily Standard has called me 'the next big thing in jazz.' I am including a link to my demos if you are interested. Please let me know if you would be willing to meet some time to discuss a potential partnership. Thank you.” Check local listings frequently to see what singing jobs are appearing. Apply to every job you can to increase your chances of success. Different advertisements may require different qualifications, but in general, you will want to have a...

TL;DR in English: Record a demo. Contact local venues. Reach out to promoters and producers. Respond to advertisements. Join a band.

First, finely slice two chipotle peppers, if not already sliced, into thin strips. Place that in a small mixing bowl. Then add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until they are evenly mixed.  For extra spice, be generous with the amount of adobo sauce you include from the chipotle peppers’ can. To reduce spice, pat the peppers with paper towels to remove as much sauce as possible. Put 4 chicken thighs or 3 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless) into a large sealable freezer bag. Then pour in the marinade. Seal the bag shut. Hold it by two corners and flip the bag over and over to soak the chicken. Then put the bag in the refrigerator and leave for one hour so the marinade soaks into the meat. Set your indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (roughly 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 204 Celsius). Once it reaches the desired temperature, set your chicken on the grill. Cook each side for five to six minutes. The Food and Drug Administration advises cooking chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) before consuming. Use a meat thermometer to verify each piece is safe to eat. Once the chicken has cooked, remove it from heat. Let it sit for about ten minutes so it can be safely handled without burning yourself. Once it’s cool enough to touch, cut each piece into bite-sized portions.

TL;DR in English: Make your marinade. Marinate your chicken. Grill your chicken. Cool and chop your meat.

If you know the person well, you may be able to bring it up in conversation. Of course, this tactic could get very awkward very quickly, so be prepared for that. Try to use humor if possible. If you're not comfortable bringing it up in conversation, move on to trying a note. For instance, you could say, "I enjoy running around the house naked as much as the next person, but I do remember to close the blinds, unlike some people we know..." If it seems the exhibitionism is happening by accident, it may be best to just drop the person a note. For example, if the person is just walking around getting ready with the blinds down, they may not realize people can see in, and you'd actually be doing something nice to tell them so. You can try addressing the note anonymously so the person is less embarrassed. You could write, "I really don't want to embarrass you, but I want you to know that people can see in your house while you're getting ready in the morning. You might consider closing the blinds in the future." If the person is exposing themselves intentionally, dropping a nice note may not work. However, if you try appealing to their better nature by letting them know there are kids in the area, you may be able to get to them stop, at least during the day. If they don't stop after your first note, consider dropping another one that's more pointed. You could write, "Hi, I am the person who sent the last note about you exposing yourself. Apparently, you are doing it intentionally. I would like to remind you that there are kids in the are who can see your nudity. If you won't stop for me, consider stopping for the kids. If you don't, I'll have to get others involved."

TL;DR in English: Bring it up in conversation. Drop the person a note. Appeal to their better nature.

This includes products such as soap and laundry detergent, as well as things such as lotion.  Avoid bubble baths for children. Use non-drying, mild soaps such as Cetaphil, Dove, or Aveeno. Avoid any products that contain alcohol, as these can dry out skin. Avoid using things like fabric softeners or dryer sheets, as these usually have fragrances that can cause irritation. Fabrics such as cotton, silk, and bamboo are often less irritating on the skin than polyester.  Wool should be avoided, as it is known to irritate the skin. Wash new clothes before you wear them. This can help remove any agents left over from manufacturing that might irritate your skin. Heat and sweating can make the condition worse, so it is important to be aware of the temperature of your environment. Always rinse your skin off after sweating. In addition to the fluid loss that can cause dry skin, sweating also leaves salts on your skin that can cause irritation and flare-ups. Eczema is known to go hand-in-hand with dry skin, so adding moisture to the environment can help to diminish the severity of symptoms. Keep your humidifier clean. The humidity in a humidifier is a perfect place for mold, mildew, and bacteria to grow. Clean it regularly according to its instruction manual. This can help to reduce the sensation of itching. Soak bandages or light towels in cool water. Wring them out until they’re moist but not soaked. Wrap them around your skin in the affected areas. Over-the-counter anti-itch soaks containing oatmeal are available at your local pharmacy or drugstore. In general, do not bathe children with eczema more than 2-3 times per week, or you could actually make the condition worse.  Another option is to make a homemade anti-itch bath soak for eczema by adding baking soda and oatmeal to a bath. Soak for 10 minutes. You can also try a bleach bath, which will help reduce bacteria on the skin. Add ½ cup of household bleach to a bathtub full of warm water. Soak for about 10 minutes. Do not submerge your face or get the water in your...

Assess your dog for symptoms of a ruptured eardrum. Pay attention to signs that the inner ear is damaged. Have a veterinarian inspect your dog's eardrums.

It is suitable to house smaller and younger garter snakes in smaller enclosures, while larger garter snakes require larger housing. Garter snakes are very active, so the enclosure needs to be big enough for them to move about.  Ensure that the plastic tub or aquarium has a lid that is tight fitting. This is because garter snakes are known for being escape artists. A screen lid that snaps onto the enclosure is best. If the lid has any areas of mesh or grille, check that the snake won’t be able to climb through past its eyes, as this means that it will be able to fit all the way through the gap.  An enclosure for 2 garter snakes should be approximately 55 US gal (210 L). The material that covers the floor of the enclosure is called the substrate. This needs to be kept dry and wet substrate needs to be removed in order to keep the garter snake healthy. Ideal substrate choices for garter snakes are newspaper, paper towels, aspen shavings, alfalfa meal, and reptile bark.  Substrates that are unsafe for garter snakes include cedar, pine, or juniper tree bark chips, sand, clay cat litter, gravel, and dirt. Only use newspapers and/or paper towels for baby garter snakes. Garter snakes like to burrow into the substrate, so you can always add a little more. Snakes require at least 1 dark space to hide in within their enclosure. You can use plastic bowls, cardboard boxes, toilet paper tubes, or specialty snake hide boxes that can be purchased from pet stores or online. Cage furniture such as fake or real plants, wood, rocks, and decorations can also be good additions to the enclosure as the snake will enjoy exploring the objects. Aim to have the opening to the hide box just slightly bigger than the width of the snake. It needs to be large enough for the snake to fit in, yet small enough so that the snake can feel enclosed and safe. Garter snakes are cold-blooded animals which means that they need their enclosure to be 75–85 °F (24–29 °C) in order to survive. Place a heating pad below 1 side of the enclosure and install a...

TL;DR in English: Choose a 30–50 US gal (110–190 L) plastic tub or aquarium with a lid. Fill the enclosure with a minimum of 2 in (5.1 cm) of substrate. Add cage furniture to help the garter snake to feel more secure. Use a heating pad and a light bulb to maintain the temperature.

Get your nails and hair done. Take a nice warm bubble bath, and pick out a nice outfit. Once you look your best, you will begin to feel your best. You don't need to get a complete makeover if you want to change. You just need to pay extra attention to grooming and hygiene, and the rest will follow.  Spend an extra 10-15 minutes getting ready in the morning, and you'll start to feel better. Maybe you were too busy or stressed out to care about your appearance before. Get a fun hair cut. Nothing makes you feel like getting a fresh start like a fresh cut. If you're so insecure that you spend all of your time thinking about how others perceive you, then you'll never be able to work on yourself enough to catch your former man's eye again. It doesn't matter if people think you're funny, cute, or charming -- it's all about thinking positive things about yourself.  If you don't care what other people think about you, then you'll exude confidence and your former guy will be impressed that you finally know how to do your own thing. Don't worry about his friends. Maybe his friends didn't think you were right for your former man or just didn't get along with you. You should be nice and get in their good graces, but don't bend over backwards trying to charm them or you'll lose sight of your target. If you're busy with schoolwork, friends, and pursuing your interests, you will be able to grow as a person and to continue improving yourself instead of pining after your guy. Plus, if he sees that you're obviously occupied instead of sitting around staring up at the sky, then he'll see that you have a lot to contribute and that you're person with an active and engaging life.  Let your former guy see you doing the things you love, whether it's immersing yourself in your studies or going out for a nice run. Spend lots of time with your friends. They'll be able to keep you positive and will lend you a fresh perspective. Don't use a rebound relationship as a means of staying busy. This will only distract and confuse you even more....

TL;DR in English: Look and feel your best. Stop caring about what other people think. Stay busy doing the things you love. Develop and express your individuality.

. The first thing to do to look effortlessly stylish is to make sure that you’re wearing clothes that you feel are good for your body type. Since effortless style is supposed to be subtle, you’ll need well fitting clothes in order to get the elegant, expensive, stylish look from your clothing. You may want garments that make you look thinner and the perfect height, with everything in proportion. Effortless style is mainly based around classic looks. Dressing for current trends just shows that you put way too much thought into that outfit and that you’ve been following fashion news like a broker watching stocks. Choose classic styles in classic cuts for a more effortless look that looks good for years. This means women should beware of floor length casual dresses in favor of knee-length, for example, while men should shy away from skinny-legged suit trousers in favor of something more loose-fitting. What colors are popular and what colors are considered absolutely hideous is very dependent on time and place. Just look at your mom’s clothes from the 1970s, for example. In order to look effortlessly stylish, you’re going to want a more timeless look, which means sticking to more muted and neutral colors. This can, however, be broken up with bold accent colors, especially on accessories.   Muted colors include tan, black, white, denim/navy blue, and gray. Good accent colors include most shades of red, many shades of blue, plum/eggplant purple, golden yellow (like rubber ducks or tulips), and emerald green. Be careful of certain colors. Be wary of other greens and yellows, and generally avoid oranges, as these colors are very prone to going in and out of fashion, but, if you think they are stylish, go for it. Busy prints and textures (like fuzzy/fluffy/feathered fabric) can quickly make an outfit look dated and unstylish, as these tend to be in fashion only for a season or a year at most. Next year it will be another pattern, so why bother? Look effortlessly stylish by keeping your clothes in style across decades,...

TL;DR in English: Wear clothes that flatter your shape Stick to classic cuts. Choose muted, neutral colors and bold accents. Avoid busy prints and textures. Buy strategically. Create an interchangeable collection. Take care of your clothes. Get items tailored.

Constantly forcing yourself to mingle, chit-chat and cold-call will take its toll. Doing things that you hate on a regular basis is a surefire recipe for burnout. Don’t try to be someone you're not. Instead, try to develop a business model that fits the real you and learn to be comfortable with who you truly are. Most importantly, believe that you're as capable as any other person at succeeding in business.  Remember, there's nothing "wrong" with you. It's not bad to prefer one-on-one company over a party. It's not a character flaw to be a great listener. It's not a sin to be a deep thinker. It's not wrong to think before you speak. Keep in mind that, as an introvert, you have a series of character traits that are positive and can help you in business. Speak self-affirmations out loud. If you're feeling a bit insecure because you're an introvert, speak out some self-affirmations that will reinforce your belief in yourself. Introverts have many positive qualities. Use those qualities to your advantage in business.  For example, introverts might not be very outspoken, but they're often very good listeners. You'll find that listening can carry you a long way in your business with peers, employees, and partners. Also, introverts tend to be creative because they're inside their own head so much. That creativity can benefit you in business, especially when it comes to advertising. Your ideal office space is a private office where you can retreat, shut the door, and think about how to solve business problems. You'll work best in a quiet, away-from-the-crowd location. Avoid creating an "open office" environment where you'll be part of the crowd. That kind of workplace is suited well for extroverts, but not for an introvert like you.

TL;DR in English: Avoid fighting your nature. Accentuate your positives. Create a work environment conducive to your nature, if possible.

This day will be similar to the day prior to the cleanse - you will eat only salads and fruits. Stick with small portions so as not to overwhelm your stomach and digestive system. After the easing-in period, you can gradually return to your regular diet by introducing foods such as eggs and dairy products, wholegrain rice and cereals, and lean meats. You should still try to refrain from eating processed foods, to avoid undoing the good work you did during your cleanse. Eating pizza or other processed foods immediately after finishing your cleanse is not a good idea, and may even leave you feeling ill. Doing a juice cleanse once a week will help you to maintain the level of detoxification you reached while doing your fast. It is actually quite simple to do as you can divide the 24 hours over a two day period. Start by having an early dinner one evening, then eat nothing for the rest of the night. Sleep through 8 of the 24 hours, then have a juice for breakfast and lunch that day. You can then eat a solid meal for dinner that night. Once you have done a three day fast, you can move on to doing longer cleanses periodically, progressing towards a 7 day or even 14 day juice fast, if desired. Although this may seem daunting, many seasoned fasters claim that the fasting actually becomes easier the longer you go without solid food. Your body trains itself not to feel hunger, as it recognizes that it is getting all the nutrition it needs from the juice.  Be warned, however. With longer fasts, your body will start eliminating toxins through the skin and lungs and you may notice a funny or unpleasant smell emanating from your body.  With longer fasts, you may want to include protein and iron supplements in your juices, to give you more energy and prevent yourself from becoming anemic. These supplements can be found at health food stores.

TL;DR in English: Take a day to ease your body out of the fast. Gradually return to normal food. Think about introducing a 24 hour weekly juice fast into your routine. Try a longer fast next time.

Before you put medicine in a dog's ear you must first make sure you won't harm your dog’s ears by doing it. Therefore, before placing any medication in the dog’s ear you must make sure the eardrum is not damaged. Never place medication in a dog showing these signs, as they can indicate a possible ruptured eardrum:  Unusual head tilting Loss of balance (tipping to one side or falling down) Vomiting Pain when the ear is touched Drainage of thick and/or bloody fluid from the ear If you place medication into an ear that has a damaged or ruptured eardrum, the medication can damage the delicate structures the make up the inner ear. Damage to these structures are indicated by these symptoms:  Head shaking Pain Rubbing the ear(s) on the floor Pawing or scratching at the ear Head tilt Loss of balance or falling over Turning in circles towards the damaged ear The only way to be totally sure that your dog's eardrums are fine is by having them examined by a veterinarian or veterinary technician. The vet, or vet tech, will use an otoscope, which is a lighted instrument, to peer into the ear canal to visually see the eardrum. It is important that the eardrum does not have any damage and is not torn. If you apply medicine to an ear with a damaged eardrum it could damage the ear further, including the risk of full hearing loss.

Anytime you're connecting or disconnecting an effects pedal, you need to cut the power to everything in the chain. While the power cables can and should be plugged in to each separate unit, the units themselves should be switched off. Make sure the amp and each pedal are switched off when you connect them.  There is one exception to this rule though - if you are using a tube or valve amp.  In this case, you want to keep the amp turned on but put the amp in standby mode using the standby switch.  Trying to connect live circuits can result in shorts, as well as loud pops and feedback bursts that will come through the amp. It'll shorten the life of all the components in your rig. Don't do it. The biggest thing to avoid is powering on a pedal, connecting it, then powering on the amplifier. This is a fast-track to a short. To make sure the pedals and the amp are off before you connect them, you'll need to have them plugged in. Connect both your pedal and your amp to power and switch them on and off to make sure. Some guitar pedals will come with 9-volt A/C adapters, while others will be battery-operated, though most feature both options. For most guitar players, batteries are nice because it's one less thing to plug in, but are a hassle because batteries die and are expensive. Most pedals will have only two jacks, one labeled "Input," and another labeled "Output." These jacks are usually located on opposite sides of the pedal's body, depending on the unit, and are built to accept a standard quarter-inch (6 mm) audio cable. Locate the input and output jacks on the guitar pedal, then connect your guitar to the jack labeled "input." All the inputs and outputs can get confusing for the beginner. Remember: the audio signal is generated by your guitar's pickups, from where it travels to the amp through the cable. So, the guitar should always be connected to the input jack of the pedal, because this reflects the direction in which the signal travels. You play a sound on the guitar, then it travels “in” to the pedal,...

TL;DR in English: Turn everything off. Hook your amplifier and pedal up to power. Connect your guitar to the input jack. Connect the output jack on the pedal to the input of the amplifier. Turn the amplifier on first and set your levels. Turn down the effect knobs before switching it on. Experiment with the pedal. Always unplug cables when you're finished playing.

If you're having trouble coming up with an idea for a particular story, try working on a different story, a different part of the story, or a different kind of writing altogether. Changing what you're working on might free you up to come up with ideas for your original story. If you are working on a short story idea, stop and write a poem, a review of a television show, or even just a list of words. It is important to get your mental juices flowing and writing anything is better than becoming frustrated with yourself. You know when inspiration will strike. Get away from your paper or keyboard. Your brain will continue to churn out ideas or will draw inspiration from something. Even though Isaac Asimov wrote 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, he found the time to attend science fiction conventions, carry on correspondence with friends, and flirt with women. If you're feeling sluggish while struggling to come up with ideas, take a few minutes to get some physical exercise, either by exercising for its own sake or by doing a household chore that requires some effort for a short period of time. At the end of that time, you'll feel more alert and the ideas will come easier. If exercising only wears you down, perhaps you should instead take a nap. A short nap of 30 minutes or less will be enough to give you a rest and may be enough to let an idea come to you. Longer naps of up to 90 minutes may allow you to enter REM sleep and give you the opportunity to dream up a story idea.  Use a dream. If you've recently had a dream and remember it, write some ideas of it down on a piece of paper and jumble them all up to whatever you want it to be or whatever feels right to you, this should give you some ideas to write a story in the future. Edgar Allen Poe drew inspiration from nightmares for much of his poetry.

Making a cake stand nail polish display is easy. You will just need to gather a few special items before you get started. You will need:  a cake platter a plate a candlestick strong glue, such as a ceramic glue Flip your cake platter upside down. Then take your candlestick and apply some glue to the bottom of it. Center the candlestick on the bottom of your cake platter and press it into place. Hold the candlestick for about 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Next, take your smaller plate and hold it facing right side up. Then, apply some glue to the top of the candlestick. When you are ready, press the plate onto the candlestick so that it is centered. Press down on the plate for about 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Let the cake stand nail polish display dry overnight. After it has dried, you can place your nail polish collection on the upper and lower tiers. If you like, you can also paint designs or glue some glitter onto the upper plate and/or lower platter, but this is optional. Make sure that the paint/glue is dry if you decide to decorate your cake stand nail polish display.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Glue the candlestick to the bottom of the cake platter. Glue the other plate to the top of the candlestick. Place your nail polish collection on the stand.

. If you smoke, you should make an effort to quit. Smoking is bad for your overall health. It can make you more susceptible to throat infections such as bronchitis and strep  throat. It can also cause overall damage to the throat and vocal cords, resulting in discomfort and congestion. Talk to your doctor about quitting smoking. Smoking also predisposes a person to carcinogens which can lead cancer. Oftentimes, a dry environment can result in throat irritation. Consider purchasing a humidifier if you live in a dry area. Turning a humidifier on during the day or overnight can increase moisture in your home, reducing throat irritation. If you're prone to frequent throat irritation, evaluate how you speak. Straining your voice can cause a sore throat, resulting in the build up of phlegm.  If you have throat irritation, try to avoid coughing. Too much coughing can actually make an infection worse. If necessary, take over-the-counter cough suppressants or lozenges to ease irritation that leads to coughing.  Avoid screaming, shouting, or cheering. If you work in a field that requires you to talk loudly, make an effort to rest your voice at the end of the day. Speak softly and try not to raise your voice. Coughing, wheezing, and otherwise attempting to clear your throat can sometimes provide momentary relief. However, if you engage in these behaviors too frequently when you have a sore throat this can cause irritation. This could potentially increase the duration of symptoms. If you feel tempted to clear your throat, consider purchasing over-the-counter cough drops or lozenges at the drugstore to provide some relief. Alcohol and caffeine can both increase dehydration, leading to a dry and irritated throat. Try to avoid drinking caffeinated beverages or alcohol in excess. For men, limit your alcohol intake to two drinks a night. For women, try to stay around one drink. A sore or congested throat is not usually a medical concern and should clear up on its own. However, if you remain congested for more than two weeks...

TL;DR in English: Quit smoking Invest in a humidifier. Avoid straining your voice. Do not clear your throat too often. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Seek medical help.

Sarongs are generally just large rectangles of fabric that can be wrapped and tied in different ways. They typically measure anywhere from 66 to 72 inches (168 to 183 cm) across, depending on your measurements. Using a fabric tape measure, measure your waist. To measure your waist, measure around the narrowest part of your abdomen between your rib cage and hips.  If the measurement is 33 inches (84 cm) or less, a 66-inch (168-cm) sarong will be plenty. If your waist measures more than 33 inches (84 cm), consider making the sarong 72 inches across (183 cm). The width of a sarong usually matches the length from hip to foot, so it generally ranges from 36 to 44 inches (91 to 112 cm). To determine the proper length for you, use your measuring tape to measure the length from your hip to your heel. You can use your leg length to determine the length of your sarong, or you can make it longer or shorter based on your preferences. For instance, if you want your sarong to be knee-length, make a note of the measurement from your hip to your knee. Sarongs are summertime accessories that are designed to be folded and tied, so they are usually made of thin, lightweight materials, and some of them are sun-protective. Popular fabrics for sarongs include:  Cotton voile Polished cotton Satin Nylon blends Chiffon fabrics

Inspect the lens and look for the “ø” symbol near the base that screws into the camera body. The number following the symbol is the diameter of the lens in millimeters. Make sure you get a filter that fits the size of your lens.  The number may be painted on the lens or etched into the surface. If you can’t find the diameter, look at the original packaging or instruction manual for the lens to find out. Hold the edge of a ruler across the widest part of the lens, which should be directly through the middle of it. Measure the length from the threaded area on the inside rim of the lens to the other inside edge directly across from it. Be sure to take your measurement in millimeters. Most common lenses have a diameter between 49-77mm. Filter adaptors are rings that screw onto your camera lens so you can use larger or smaller filters. Attach the adaptor to the end of your lens before attaching the filter to it. Once they’re both screwed on, then your camera is ready to use. Filter adaptors may not fit on wide-angle lenses. Screw-on filters attach directly onto your camera, but they can only fit certain sizes. Square filters use an adaptor to fit multiple lens sizes, but they can be more expensive and cause light to leak into the photo. Choose the style of filter that works best for you. Screw-on filters help protect the camera lens, but square filters do not.

TL;DR in English: Look for the diameter listed on the lens barrel. Measure the lens diameter with a ruler. Get an adapter for your lens if the filter you have doesn’t fit. Choose between screw-on or square filters.

If an emergency does occur, it is important that you know the correct way to act. All safety and emergency procedures should be discussed at the beginning of the school year. In addition, relevant safety measures should be reviewed before each experiment. If you are unsure about a specific process, ask your teacher so that you will know exactly what to do. Immediately after a spill or breakage occurs, it must be reported to your teacher. No matter how small it may seem, your teacher needs to know so that the proper cleanup procedure can be followed.  Broken glass can have sharp edges that can lead to cuts so handle it with care. It must be disposed of in a special broken glass container. Never try to clean up a chemical spill without consulting your teacher first. Do not wear bulky clothing as this will be difficult to manage and may come into contact with a flame or chemicals. Roll up your sleeves and keep long hair tied back. Wear shoes that are closed-toe, low heeled, and cover your entire foot.  Wear clothes that cover your whole body, such as long pants or a long skirt. Jewelry and contacts should not be worn in the lab. When working in a science lab, you must always wear a lab coat, gloves, and protective eyewear. The lab coat will protect you from chemical spills and gloves will protect your hands when handling chemicals or bacteria.  Eyewear should cover both your eyes and the sides of your eyes to protect from splashes. Disposable gloves of latex or nitrile should be used and removed before leaving the lab. Also, make sure to use tongs or protective gloves whenever you are handling something that might be hot. It can take a while for chemicals to cool down, so use caution. Familiarize yourself with the location of any and all safety equipment which may be available, including the fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and the eyewash station. If you have access to an emergency shower, know where this is located. You also need to know where the exits to the room are found and follow evacuation procedures...

TL;DR in English: Know about all safety procedures. Report all spills, injuries, or broken equipment to your teacher. Dress for lab work. Wear proper protective equipment (PPE). Know where to find safety equipment.

Some anchors have threaded screws that need to be removed before you can reach the collar. In these cases, use a screwdriver to turn the screw counterclockwise until it is loose, and then remove it. If the screw has a cross slot on top, remove it with a Phillips-head screwdriver. This is the most common type of screw used in drywall anchors. Use needle-nosed pliers to get underneath the anchor and grip it. Grab the edge of the collar, then pull out and snap it off.  The collar is a small circular piece of metal that holds the anchor in place, so that it cannot be pushed backward, out the other end of the wall. Be gentle when you attach the pliers. You don’t want to gouge the drywall. Try to avoid touching the drywall with the pliers. If the anchor is tight or stuck, place a flat-head screwdriver or pry bar under the head of the anchor to ease it out. Once the anchor has been removed, you can use a screwdriver to push the anchor out through the other end of the wall. The screwdriver shouldn’t be larger than the diameter of the wall anchor because you will want to be able to push it through the wall without making the hole bigger. The wall anchor should fall into the frame, behind the drywall. You will be left with a small hole to patch. Another option is to place a Phillips-head screwdriver in the anchor. Tap it gently with a hammer. Once it is pushed slightly into the wall, apply joint compound over it to smooth out the hole.

TL;DR in English: Unscrew the threaded screw. Grab the collar with a set of needle-nosed pliers. Press the tip of a screwdriver into the hole where the wall anchor is lodged. Push the anchor through the wall with a screwdriver.

There are a number of cover letters to choose from. And, the greeting you choose will depend on how much information you have about the company. This is where you will mention the job for which you're applying and how you found the job listing. It only needs to be 1 to 2 sentences in length. Most cover letters will only have 1 or 2 body paragraphs. You don't want to overwhelm the hiring manager or use up a great deal of their time. This will be where you wrap up and discuss how you will proceed with the application. Your final paragraph is your chance to sum up your letter, emphasizing why you’d be great in this position. You’ll also talk about how you’ll proceed with your application before thanking the manager for their time and signing off. "Best" or  "Sincerely" are both classic options. Also, since you won't be able to sign your email, finish the letter by typing your full name.

TL;DR in English: Include a salutation. Write the first paragraph of your letter. Write the body paragraphs of your letter. Write the final paragraph of your letter. End your cover letter with a respectful closing statement.

Whether you are in an abusive relationship or you just aren't happy with your partner anymore, there comes a time when you have to put your foot down and do what's best for you.  People stay in unhealthy relationships for many reasons, such as guilt, financial stress, or children. It's important to realize that you are actually trapping yourself in the relationship by focusing on these fears. You can start standing up for yourself in small ways by, for example, developing your own interests, making your own decisions, and spending more time away from your partner. Many people are reluctant to leave long-term relationships because they are not used to living alone and do not know what the future will hold for them if they leave. In order to start over as a single person, you need to be willing to take the plunge and accept that you don't know what will happen next.  If you're not quite ready to leave the relationship yet, try to focus on having compassion for yourself. If you consciously work on doing things that bring you more happiness, you will eventually develop the strength you need to leave a relationship that is holding you back. Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't have the courage to leave the relationship right away. These negative thoughts towards yourself will only worsen your self-confidence, which will make it even harder to leave. Some people are actually happier being single, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you find that you don't have a problem with living alone and not having a partner, don't try to force yourself to do anything different. Even if you don't like being single, take this opportunity to find out what's really important to you in life.  It's easy for people to lose a bit of their identities in a relationship, so it may take some time to adjust to being on your own. Whether you plan on being single forever or just for a short period of time, learn to embrace your individual interests and preferences.  Take time to explore all of your interests. If you had a hobby...

TL;DR in English:


Recognize the good and bad in your life and examine how you’ve been affected by each. Practice mindfulness. Identify whether your inner monologue is an optimist or a pessimist. Look for the positives in your life. Remember that true optimism is different from blind optimism. Write yourself daily positive affirmations. Avoid comparing yourself to others. Work on improving your perspective in 1 or 2 areas of your life. Smile as often as you can.

When you notice a problem is brewing, do not ignore it. Instead, discuss the issue before it becomes a large problem. This way you can prevent future blow-ups. Letting things bottle up means when the next argument happens you'll end up bringing things up from the past. This can make your girlfriend feel attacked and bombarded. When a problem arises, address immediately. Even a small issue can lead you to build resentment over time. Anger can make it hard to respond to a situation rationally. People often lash out in anger and end up alienating those close to them. Try to work with your girlfriend on finding a way to resolve issues without succumbing to anger. A good way to do so is to take 5 minutes to express your feelings when you have a disagreement rather than immediately trying to talk. Fights are often related to the fact certain emotional needs are being neglected. When your girlfriend is upset or frustrated with you, try to examine whether she has needs you're failing to meet. Have you been distance lately? Have you been busy to the point you're not spending as much time with her? Consider whether you're not meeting your girlfriend's needs and what you can do to help meet them. After an argument, always take a moment to summarize what was discussed. How do you feel? How does your girlfriend feel? How are you both willing to work on the situation to assure it won't happen again? Taking five minutes to summarize a situation after an argument can prevent the argument from reoccurring.

TL;DR in English: Discuss new issues immediately. Create a process for resolving arguments without anger. Listen for underlying emotional needs. Summarize what is discussed to assure you understand.

Some people like this activity more than others, but even if you're not much of a decorator it beats sitting around doing nothing. Even just sorting through old clutter can help you find old toys, books, and other nostalgic objects. For a larger project, paint your room or hang up posters and pictures. See how many kinds of different wild flowers you can find in your yard or nearby fields. Make a bouquet, or press them to make permanent decorations. Leaves can also be dried to use in art projects or just to keep around as decoration. Don't pick flowers from other people's yards without permission, or if the flowers look intentionally planted.

TL;DR in English: Organize or redecorate your room. Pick flowers in your neighborhood.

People tend to flock to those who have a good sense of self-confidence. They often admire them and want to be around them. Project self-confidence to others, even if you don’t have much, and you’ll likely attract more friends.  The key to effective and attractive self-confidence is to not come off as cocky or self-centered. Simply walk with your back straight, shoulders back, and head held high. Look people in the eye and smile when you talk to them.  Don't act like you're better than others by not speaking or ignoring them. Make everyone you meet feel like a million bucks. As much as it can be funny to make yourself the subject of a good joke, don't take self-deprecating talk too far. People don't want to be around someone who always talks about themselves too much--whether it's positive or negative.  For example, don't let your social group catch you saying negative things like "I'm fat" or "I look hideous." People want to be around people who feel good about themselves because that type of self-confidence can be contagious. Belittling yourself sends the message that you're secretly low in confidence. So, avoid such language at all costs. You can’t expect people to want to be your friend if you aren’t willing to put yourself out there. Strike up conversations with people whenever and wherever you can. You never know, you could find your new best friend in line at the grocery store. Practice what you are going to say to someone when you are alone. You could talk about the weather, the local sports team, outlandish celebrity news, or whatever you like to talk about. Having a topic prepared can help you feel more confident when you try to talk with someone new. If you want to meet new people and potential best friends, you’ll need to engage in new experiences. You’re not going to meet anyone if you aren’t willing to try new things. Finding people who are interested in what you are is a great start at finding true friends. Join groups or take classes that interest you. Doing so gives you a great chance of...

TL;DR in English: Exude confidence. Avoid negative self-talk. Start conversations. Join a social group to meet new people. Be the person you want to be friends with.

This will make for a healthier environment for your baby turtle and allow you to go longer between big cleans.  Aquatic turtles have to eat in the water because they can’t produce saliva. Unfortunately, leftover food quickly decays and makes for a messy tank. Use a net to clean up any leftovers when your turtle is done. Use a siphon-type aquarium vacuum to clean the substrate (i.e. the rocks or gravel at the bottom of the tank) every 4 or 5 days. Use a squeeze-bulb to start the siphon and put the hose end in a bucket below the tank. Gravity keep the water flowing from the tank to the bucket. For added efficiency, you can use your siphoning as a partial water change. Just be sure you siphon off enough water (see below) and replace what you have removed. The media inside your filter is what strains out dirt, uneaten food, and poop. If it is a sponge, you’ll need to clean it weekly by rinsing it with water. Do not use soap. You can clean foam filters as well, or if you are using filter floss, polyfill stuffing, or charcoal replace it weekly. Filters are full of germs, so be sure to:  Unplug your filter before working on it. Work away from food and places where food is prepared. Wear gloves or avoid cleaning your filter when you have cuts or scrapes on your hands. Clean your arms and hands with soap and water after cleaning the filter. Remove and wash any clothes that get splashed with filter water. Even if you have a filter, you’ll still need to change the water regularly to prevent the build-up of small particles and nitrates. Though you may need to change the water more frequently if you feel it is too dirty, here are some general guidelines:  Small Tanks (30 gallons or less) – Change 20% of the water every 2 days. Replace all water every 10-12 days. Medium to Large Tanks (30 gallons or more) – Change 50% of the water every 5 days. Replace all water every 12-14 days. For high quality, high capacity external filters – Change 50% of the water every 7 days. Replace all water every 17-19 days. Especially in the...

TL;DR in English: Clean as you go. Clean or replace the filter media regularly. Change the water regularly. Test your water to make sure you are changing it often enough. Clean and disinfect the tank when you change out all the water. Gather the appropriate supplies for cleaning and disinfecting. Clean the tank thoroughly.

It's easy to think of girls like a different species and think that you don't understand them. However, girls really aren't any different than you. They want the same things, they have the same problems, and they have the same feelings. When you realize that, it will be much easier to realize how you should treat them: treat them how you would want to be treated. If it's easier, think of how you would want someone to treat a woman that you love. Treat a girl the way you'd want your dad to treat your mom. Treat a girl the way you'd want a guy to treat your sister. You want to look fly all the time. That's understandable. Who wouldn't want all the ladies to fall over themselves whenever they walk through a room? However, if you already have a girlfriend or a girl you like, working really hard to attract other women is disrespectful and rude to your girl. Just worry about looking hot to her and don't worry so much about what other women like. You shouldn't be flirting with a girl that isn't your girlfriend. You also shouldn't be showing off your body to other women. When she says "no" it doesn't mean "maybe later". It doesn't mean "I'm being coy". It doesn't mean "I'm trying to make you mad". It means "no". Don't continue to bother her after she's told you no. She knows what you want and she'll let you know if she changes her mind. For example, if you ask her to wear a particular item of clothing and she doesn't like it, don't keep pressuring her to wear it. She's allowed to have secrets from you, just like you're allowed to have secrets from her. You're both entitled to have time to yourselves and things that are just yours. Do not invade her privacy by doing things like stalking her on Facebook or checking her text messages. The temptation can be really strong if you see that she's left her internet browser logged in or something like that, but you should still resist. It's the gentlemanly thing to do. A lot of guys will worry about seeming manly. You don't want to seem weak, right? So they don't tell their...

TL;DR in English: Don't see her as being any different than yourself. Stop trying to attract other women. Listen when she says no. Respect her privacy. Tell her how you feel. Trust her and be trustworthy yourself.

Optimism doesn’t mean you have to feel “happy” all the time. In fact, trying to force feelings of happiness during potentially traumatic experiences can be unhealthy. Instead, attune yourself to the full range of emotions in your life, accepting that the negative as well as positive feelings are a natural part of human experience. Trying to repress a certain type of emotion can cause severe emotional distress. Not focusing more on one type of emotion than the other can actually help you become more adaptive and proactive in future unexpected situations. This will increase your ability to be optimistic and resilient in the face of uncertainty.  Negative feelings can become a conditioned habit over time. Avoid blaming yourself for negative emotions and associations. Blame is unhelpful because it doesn’t look forward to how you can grow; it looks backward at what has already happened.  Instead, focus on being mindful of when these negative emotions occur. A journal could help you do this. Write down when you experience negative feelings or thoughts, then examine their contexts and explore alternative ways of responding to them.  For example, imagine that someone cuts you off in traffic. You respond by feeling angry, honking your horn, and perhaps yelling at the driver even though s/he can’t hear you. You could write in your journal what happened, how it made you feel, and what your immediate response was. Don’t judge yourself as “right” or “wrong,” just write down what happened.  Next, take a step back and think about what you’ve written. Was your response in accordance with your values and the type of person you want to be? If not, what could you have done differently? What do you think you were really responding to? For example, perhaps you weren’t really angry at the driver; maybe you had a stressful day and allowed your stress to explode on that one person. Look forward when you write these entries. Don’t use them just as a place to wallow in negative feelings. Think about what you can learn from the...
